An orderl> farm home in good repair, with surroundings that are well kept and attractive adds much to the comfort and convenience and happiness of each member of the family. The improvement of the home and surroundings should be considered as a family activity with father, mother and children, making the plans taking definite pafts in carrying them out. It is true that some are unable to make extensive repairs and improvements because of economic conditions But there are lots of things that can he done at little or no expense to make the home a better place in which to live. Tenants can well afford to make repairs on the farms on which they live. Giving your attention to the small repairs may make the landlord lend his hand to the larger ones such as repairing porches. doorsteps, doors, windows, roofs and the like. See that your yards, lots and fence rows are cleaned, improve the yard and lot drainage, repair gates and. fences ,add screens for lealth and comfort.

C.?Discussion of possible chunges in the number of members of the supreme court has led more visitors than usual to "observe the court in action in its palatial Supreme Court building in Washington. This Greek temple to modern Justice stands at the quaint address of No. 1, First street, N. E? obviously close to the heart of the government," says a bulletin from the Washington D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic Society. "It is Just next door to the original Constitution, on display In a case at the Library of Congress. In use only 18 months, the building In still new and gleaming The white marble exterior of the court building, In Its green-and-asphalt setting on Capitol Hill, has a startling pearly luster, almost as If Illuminated from within. Even the tile roof is white; from a distance it has the milky smoothness of white cake Icing. Because of the dazzling reflection of light, guards on. duty outside in the summer wear colored glasses. Closer inspection gives the impression of less confectionery and more of solid geometry, although the bronze flag-pole bases are tiered and cupidcovered liko a wedding cake. The structure has a chaste design of massy cubes, giant triangles, and towering columns. In miniature it would be easy to construct with toy building blocks, but the actual structure required more marble than is known to be contained in any other building in the world. Visitors always inquire the cost, and are awed to learn that It was over a million dollars per Justice. ~ Exterior marble came from Vermont; courtyard marble from Georgia, courtroom marble from Italy and Spain; and the Alabama marble for the rest of the Interior required the largest contract of its kind on record. A monumental stairway of marble ascends from the marble plaza, with Its fountains and flagpoles, to the entrance, where eight pairs of twin Corinthian columns support the sculptured triangle of pediment. Plaza and stairs are protected by superimposed flve-foot boardwalks with handrails. Hip-booted janitors, defenders of the sacred whiteness, swab off the steps and statuary wt|h hundreds of feet of garden hose. The entrance doors, shaded by marble columns, are a ton and ^.half of bronze apiece; yet they roll docilely back into the wall at the touch of a guard's hand. Opening upon the justice of the present, they are the portals of judicial history. Sixteen figures are worked into a design depicting such momentous legal events as Justinian of ancient Rome publishing the first law code, King John signing the Magna Carta, and John Marshall delivering the first decision of **Uni 4 " t **N\ i ? r * "' (/: 7~T~ ' \ : s-? ? constitutional." , The portals open upon Memorial Hall, where an aventn; of marble cob umnii leads up to the closed double doora of the aupreme courtroom. Even on Mondaya, "Decision Day a," when Judicial oplniona attract an average of 1,400 vlaltora instead of the uaual 700, the apacious hall la not crowded. This larger attendance becomes only a longer queue of little people beside lofty columns waiting to get In. I'or admission to the courtroom, no ticket la required of the visitor; on the contrary, he is given a "ticket" while walling In Memorial Hall?an Index card size diagram of the Judicial seating arrangements. Key numbers on the diagram are a miracle of diplomacy; the central aeat of the row of nine la marked 1, with the other numbers alternating outward from left to right. The hushed tone of the waiting crowd shows acceptance of the words italicized on the ship: "Sileuce is Requested." When the doors of the courtroom swiug noiselessly open to admit tho visitor, under u uniformed guard's close scrutiny, he finds himself in a twilit spaco behind heavy red velvet curtains. He is seated, with 200 other spectators, between the curtuins and the "bur," which shuts off a front seating space for about 75 lawyers. Early arrivals can stare without restraint at the two dozen creamy marble' columns, the ten gates of bronze grill-work between them, on tho sides, the red velvet curtains reaching to the floor, the four marble base-relief panels around the top of the chamber, and tho indirectly-lighted coffered ceiling. Center of attention, however, is the empty mahogany bench with eight neat reading lamps protruding (the ninth, Justice Brandeis,' breaking the uniformity with an old gooseneck, bell-shaped lamp), and the nine high-backed chairs upholstered in black leather. Heights and angles of the chairbacks vary; some are tufi'ed, some smooth; and Justice Stone's has a flat leather bolster at the top. As hands of the two clocks, suspended from panels front and back, seen on the verge of clasping at 12, the four page boys busy themselves with turning the chairs a little sideways. Curtains billow with hidden activity. At noon a faint buzzer sounds. The audience comes to its feet. Led by Chief Justice Hughes, the justices emerge through openings in the curtains and stand behind the bench. A gavel raps sharply, "Oyez! Oyez!" the crier is intoning in syllables of medieval dignity. "The Honorable, Chief Justice and the Associate Justices of the supreme court . . God save the United States and this honorable court." Pages behind the chairs Beat the justices. The supreme tribunal is now in session. Visitors need not listen, but they must not read, write, or photograph. A plainclothes man makes a circutt of the audience every few minutes, peering menacingly about for palmed cameras or hidden notes, then seats himself with the attorneys but facing the audience. When a satisfied sightseer makes his silent exit, an usher promptly fills his space with an eager substitute from the long queue outside. For all its stately dimensions of G4 feet square, the courtroom is small enough to be Intimate. From the bench at the front, the roving eyes of backrow spectators are clearly visible, and those in the back row can detect whenever a justice turns a page in a law book, or gives the command which sends a page skipping for a glass of water on a small tray, or scribbles a note to be delivered to another Justice. As attorney after attorney places his notes on a desk before the bench, and presents his case in muted oratory tho justices listen with bowed heads, or closed eyes, or chins in hand. Without warning, a Justice in conversational tone may fling a question at the attorney. The even tenor of the court is then interrupted with silences, perhaps several judges ask questions. Then the even tenor is resumed. In the background, the four pager-boys, on their low-backed seats, play their own little private backstage 'drama in discreet whispers, crouched behind the nine august black chairs. "Bang,' the* gavel announces that it is two o'clock, and time for tho half-hour recess for lunch. As the pages man the openings in the curtains, the justices file out without a word, and the visitor is free to join the crowd in the public lunchroom downstairs or to examine more of the building. Only the front half of the first floor and the basement floor are open to the public. The building has four floors. Its facilities Include a law 11 brary, conference rooms, press rooms, a book bindery, a sub-basement garage, and generous office space for Justices and attorneys. The huge building, constructed for nine mon and an ideal, actually is the business address of about 446 employe* tue jus tic** lucre been allot Serious Warning By Chief Forester Silcox Lumbermen and land owners, representing six counties, attended the meeting held last night at Sunset Country Club, and heard an address by F. A. Silcox, Chief Forester of the United States, that should have convinced these men who earn their livelihood from the forests, that reforestation and forest conservation are problems of immediate and farreaching Importance and not mere academic theories. An interesting and attention compelling talk, it was filied with facts, drawn from many 1 years experience with forest management and study of conditions in America and in fourteen foreign countries. Mr. Silcox asserted, and proved his as-1 sertion, that the danger mark has | been reached and over passed in large areas of the United States by ' the prodigal and wasteful methods of lumbermen, who have depleted nation's forest resources without regard for the future Today the only forest reserves left in the United States are in the Southeastern and far Northwestern sections. The once heavily forested acres of the east, the lake regions and sections of the northwest are practically treeless and completely without supplies for the lumber millB. These regions are dotted with ghost towns that once were busy and prosperous communities, that derived support from the operations of great sawmills and wood working plants. The trees were cut to the* last stand, then the mills were moved on or abandoned, the people were left without occupation and towns were de-i serted to fall into ruin. To bring the picture into nearer perspective he cited the fate of a lumber town in Louisiana that was the center of a two million acre lumber operation. It had a population of more than 11,500, nice homes, hotels, opera house, court house and jail. The saw mill consumed all the usable trees and shut down, the town decayed and today (he only building standing is the concrete jail and the only inhabitant *s a decrepit old negro living in the basement of the jail on the charity of a former employer who sends him a ted only one-half of one floor, and only throe of the nine have moved into their offices. i j pension check of $5 a month. Tho i few trees und undergrowth that es:caped the loggers wore Hwept away by fires that raged In the debris of the careless logging methods. These millions of acres are now a treeless barren. Similar conditions on large and smalj scale are being created whenever unregulated lumbering is curried on for the purpose , of realizing large and quick profits. Many present doubtless remember the great Atlantic Coast Lumber mill at Georgetown. When in operation the biggest In the world?cutting a million feet of lumber a day, but it finished the Job and was abandoned. The pulp mills that are being built in the South, from Virginia to Houston, Texap ,are coming here to tap the last great reserve of timber and they will consume with unexampled rapidity the 'available supply. Unless there Is voluntary or enforced regulations und control of logging the supply will be. I depleted and the pulp mills in a comparatively few years will bq forced to shut down for lack of mateiial. | Regulation, control, allocation of supI plies, management, conservation!, re! forestatlon are the remedies for present conditions and the only safeguards for the future. The world supply of- soft woods Is adequate to meet the present and immediate future demands, since scientific research is rapidly increasing the uses to which wood may profitably be put. Europe has little exportable surplus, many countries not sufficient for hdme needs. Sweden, for instance, heretofore a large exporter of pulp and paper- products, has banned the construction of additional pulp mills, and the long enforced conservation system will be made more stringent and efficient. Russia has large forest areas, but has adopted a policy of conservation, regulation and restricted export. In all tho old countries of Europe strict A scientific forestry management has long been the rule and forests are the most valued of the national assets. Mr. Silcox urged his hearers to take serious thought of the future and to regard the forests as a permanent and Increasing valuable source of pre.fitable employment^. The oustandlng thought underlying the entire address was that the forests are a national asset of such great importance that, unless private ownership formulates and makes effective a system of conservation and perpetuation it will inevitably become neces sury ub a policy of public welfare? oven national Bufety?for the public through local, Btute or federal agencies to assume, control and administer the forests for the protection of the people at large. At the conclusion of Mr. Silcox's address there was a general discussion and numerous questions were answered. The meeting wa?: sponsored by tho lloard of Trade. President C. P. Gable presided and M. S. Boykln acted as master of ceremonies. He made a brief opening address in presenting State Forester H. A. Smith, who in turn introduced Chief Foroeter F. A. Silcox.
