SHOULD LEAD WORLD
IN PULP Vi/OOf) CHOP
United States Capable of
Producing Own Supply. >
Washington,?As In the productlpu
of corn crops, the United states can
lend the world In the production of
timber crops for pulp wood, declares
the lure#I service, United States l)?:
partineut of Agriculture, in its new
publication on pulp wood supplies,.
This report wus prepared in co-op
eration With the American Paper and
I'ulp association, and represents the
most comprehensive survey of , pulp
wood resources ever tnude in this
country. It has been printed as a pub
lic document and is available for kou
era I distribution upon request to the
forest service, Wushlngton, D. C.
?To understand the paper and pulp
filiation now confronting the United
States, the report says, It is necessary
to realize that over 90 per cent of all
paper consumed In the'Unlted States
Is imide from wood, and that UK) per
cent of news-print paper Is so made.
The consumption of paper In the
United States amounts to 8.000,000
tons a year. It takes over 9,000,000
cords of "wood to make this amount
At the present time this nation im
ports over half its paper supply in the
form of finished paper, pulp and wood
suitable for making pulp.
Hut the forest service declares the
raited States can become Independ
ent of foreign countries for its paper
supply by, first, growing larger tim
ber crops on forest land; second, by
better utilization of forest products;
and third, by the erpanslOn of paper
making processes so that more species
of timber can be used for pulp wood.
Farmer Biggest Timber Owner.
At the present time, the newly pub
lished report states, the United Statet
contains 470,000,000 acres of forest
iand not needed or taken by agricul
ture. It Is upon these lands that larg
er timber crops should be grown. Hie
farmer Is the largest single class of
Umber land owners, hating about 150,
000,000 acres, or one-third, In the form
of small woodlots. The potential
productivity of this timber land Is
higher than thtt of any otix#c which
Is nn Important paper-producing na
tion.
The principal species of timber now
used in making paper are spruce, fir,
hemlock and poplar. One reason why
the United States is forced fro import
over half its paper supply is because
of the centralization of the paper
making Industry in the northeast and
lake states where large stands of
spruce, fir, hemlock and poplar were
once available in large quantities,
nut as these timber stands were also
??a I led upon to furnish a large share
of tho country's lumber supply, they
have been drained to such an extent
that they no longer can meet increas
ing demands.
New York ranks first as a paper*
producing state, yet gets over half Its
raw materials from outside. Penn
sylvania ranks second, and also has
to depend upon outside sources. Wis
consin is the third largest paper-mak
ing state, and it, too. Is forced to go
outside Its boundaries for much of
<ts raw materials.
Tho optimistic note in the report Is
furnished by the fact that Washing
ton. Oregon. Caltf?rrrtfa and Alaska, to
gether with the- pine timber in the
South, still contain soft-wood forests
which can be utilized for paper n/ak
inL' if these forests are logged in a
wise fashion and protected from the
terrible devastation caused by forest
fir os.
Paper Supply Is Vi^al.
"To show the vital necessity for this
nation to have ample supplies of pa
per for all time," says a statement
'roin f(>r(?Sf service, "it is only
riccfssnry to point out the fact that
?Mir per capita consumption is twice
th;it of Great Itritain, the next larg
,v( paper-consuming nation. Social
??nil oconornic questions would ho In
volved if this onuntry's supply of pa
per and paper products were to be
mrtalled.
"The public has an interest In thin
problem which it can help solve by
legislation looking' to the protection of
forest land from fire and other forms!
of devastation, and by continued re
search into methods of timber growing
*nd utilization.
"The paper and pulp industry
should, to safeguard Its own interest,
assume the leadership In timber grow
ing upon Its own forest land and those
upon which It Is dependent for pulp
wood supplies."
Whistling Saves Wheat Crop

Early in the spring George Imitated
male quail calling their mates. He con
'inually was answered. Continuing,
he Induced flocks of them to nest along

Bronie Statue Myvtery to
' Pioneer of Oregon Trail
"U s, a small world after all," said
Kzm Mreker, Oldest living pioneer of
the Oregon trail, as he gazed the
bthir day , on h bronze statue of him*
self that wis* uncovered In a small art
shop in Vienna and brought to this
country hy A, Well, an Englishman.
The rojnanoe and mystery surround
ing the statue were heightened by
Mr. Meeker's declaration that he had
uot posed for the piece, did not know
It was in existence and could not offer
an explanation for its presence so far
away from the Old West In which he
spent his early days.
"There are my oxon," said the plo>
neer as he examined the baso of the
miniature statue with <t magnifying
glass. "Look how that horn turns
down; how well I remember that."
He found that even the Improvised
cloth feed bin, used In Rolng over the
pioneer trails, was depicted true to
life. The statue Itself Is Mr. Meeker
in miniature. The broad-brimmed hat,
the headed Indian vest, even the
gauntlets, the pioneer recognized at a
glance.
Mr. Well was unable to satisfy Mr.
Meeker's curiosity regarding the orig
inal of the statue. The method of
casting bronze In Austria is familiar
to Mr. Well, he said, and could not
be duplicated easily outside of the
country. Mr. Weil Is sure It was pro
duced In Vienna. The sculptor's name,
Inscribed on the base, Is C. Curtz, but
the name does not offer any clew to
the origin of the piece. ? j
Stock for Indian Arrow
Required to Be Perfect
Every plains teepee had hanging In
It a bunch of slender sticks seasoning
' for arrows.
If particular in the materials for
his bow fflie brave was even more so
where arrow stock was concerned.
Any available hardwood, If straight
and free from knots, served.- When
seasoned, the shaft was meticulously
scraped and smoothed and feathered
with various pinions. The Arapahoes
and Cheyenne nsually used those of the
wild turkey, softened In tepid water,
split and glued with a glue made from
a large muscle at the back of the neck
of the buffalo, writes Frank H. Huston
In "Adventure."
The glue was less susceptible to cli
matic variations than any other used
by the tribes. The final touch was
given by placing an Individual mark
upon the shaft to identify the person
who made the kill, whether of human
or brute game.
Heads were made from flint, obsi
dian, odd bits of iron and even old
barrel hoops, until, toward the last
of the bow and arrow days, traders
carried In Iron ones made in easterri
and English manufacturing towns,
shipped In barrels.
Spain's Gift to Britain
I Spain has recently made England a
I present of a model of ' the Santa
Maria, the ship In which Columbus
sailed to America, and the gift recalls
others given at various times by one
country to another.
Everybody has heard of the famous
Liberty statue In New York. This was
presented to America by Prance In
1884.
Some years ago the French govern
ment presented a Sevres vase to th^
British museum. It Is a magnificent
specimen and very valuable.
Ancient weapons, such as guns,
swords and so on, are fairly common
gifts from one country to another.
That which is knowi? as "Queen Eliza
beth's pocket pistol" was a gift to
Great Britain from the Netherlands.
It was cast as long ago ns 1544.?

Detecting the Bogus
I French chemists have perfected now
methods of identifying pictures, ao
cording to the American Cheiniral i
society. They use groups* of red, blue,
green or white light to Mglit the pic
ture, and they examine the suspected
canvas with the spectrometer. This
puts in relief the retouchings,
scrapings and changed signatures
which constitute a false picture. By
employing the ultra-violet ray they
make the zinc white and certain var- j
nishes stand out by fluorescence. By
scraping off ermall amounts of paint
they have made spectrograph!*

BEST SABLE FIELD
IMPERILED BY OIL
Ruuia to Decide Between
the Two Industrie*.
Moscow.?Sables or oil? That la
tht question which the Soviet govern*
meat's planning commission must de
cide. i
Far off in the northern/Pacific the
peninsula of Kamchatka protrude*
from the mainland like a dagger blade
separating the Bering and H\jnter
?eaa. For decades Kamchatka has
been Russia's best happy hunting
ground for sables, Kvery year 5,000
of the Mttle blue-black animals, whosp
skins -re vtllued at approximately
3500,000, were hunted down on the
peninsula. ' *
Now' an expedition led by P. L
Polevov, a geologist of the Soviet geo
logical survey, lias discovered ell on
Kamchatka. The oil Is of an extra
fine quality and yields 75 to 78 per
cent of kerosene, whereas the best
crude product of the Baku Held yields
only 40 per cent.
The find Is of paramouut Impor
tance to the economic development of
Siberia. Russia's unfathomable petro
leufn resources In the Caucasus are
too far from this vast domain, while
the oil fields In northern Sakhallen,
which have been granted as a conces
sion to the Sinclair company, are atlU
occupied by- .Tupaneso troops. Consid
erable pressure la therefore being put
on the Moscow authorities to appropri
ate a sum of money fof the opening
of the Kamchatka field. But here the
sablee Interfere.
The' oil deposits which Professor
Polevov has discovered are situated
Just below the trapping grounds for
sables. The sables from the entire
peninsula rush Into this trapping
space during a certain season of the
year when the three rivers of the dis
trict, overflow their banks. The small
fur-bearing animals seek refuge In the
high open preserve especially set
aside for this purpose by the govern
ment. A decree prohibits any man
ner of Industrial or mining activities
in the area. And the soft sables,
seeking refuge, find* death. Experi
enced hunters have no difficulty in
trapping the creatures wholesale.
Kamchatka supplies one-fourth of,
Russia's sable*.
Will madame be able to step into
one of those brilliant shops on Fifth
avenue next summer and buy herself
a cape made of Kamchatka sable? It
depends on the decision of the bol
sheviks In Moscow. Will they annul
the decree and permit the sinking of
wells, thus to drive the sables away,
or will they be kind to the sables and
help them reach Paris and New York?

Ten Thousand Pay Final Tribute To

O'Banion all night and this morning
in final tribute to the florist, gunman,
rum runner and hijacker, slain Mon
day morning in his flower shop by
three gunmen who called ?him from
his task of trimming chrysanthe
mum stems.
The funeral was looked forward to
as the greatest in Chicago's territory

automobiles, twenty-five of them car
rying only flowers formed the cor
tege from St. Clements church where
10,000 persons had gathered for the
last rites.
O'Banion's funeral today was with
out the blessing of the church al
though burial in consecrated ground
was permitted.
Organized by the great amount of
publicity and open threats of O'Ban
ion followers to "shoot it out" with
adherants of other groups of gunmen,
Mayor Dower directed that every
known pistol toter be searched On sus
picion as frequently as encountered.
He has planned a conference today
with Chief of Police Collins to de
cide on measures to eliminating pis
tol carrying or force them to leave
Chicago.
"It is time to determine whether or
ganized outlaws shall continue to
shoot and rob with impunity or
whether decency and order will pre
vail," the mayor said.
Until the hoUr of the funeral, the
line of men and wpmen representing
all conditions of life continued to
stream past O'Banion's silver and
bronze casket.
One gray haired and bent old wo
ndan shuffled by. She spoke of the
dead gangster's friendship.
"He put my boy on the right track
at the right minute," she said..?"Got
him a good job in an office and gave
him a suit of clothes to fit the job. If
his enemies had known him the way
I did, he'd be alive today."
"Gee, he was a swell fellow," was
a ragged newsboy's tribute. "Ho

At a regular meeting of city coun
cil Monday night, that body sus
tained J. M. Youngblood, chief of
police, in the "knickers" controversy
brought before that body by Miss
Willie Trammell, the Ogden mer
chant, who made the claim that the
chief was offensive in his mariner and
speech as to her appearing in
"knickers" on the streets of Rock
Hill.
Dr. J. R. Miller was the star wit

that he witnessed the affair and that
he thought the chief's admonition was

occurrence and was standing on the

"Who are you talking to?" he
quoted Miss Trammell as answering.
The chief in turn told her that she
knew and added that "we might (or
we could) put you in jail," the phy
sician added.
The conversation was more of a
remonstrance on the part of the chief
than a threat, Dr. Miller believed.
He could find nothing offensive in it.
