Liberal use of American forests { was a necessary pa/t of the commer- ( cial growth of this Nation, Col. Gree [ Icy believes, hut reforestation should ( have been practiced, if not from the { start, at least in late years. There } is an abundant area of forest land in ( this country to support all industries, t. and a liberal supply of wood is most necesrary to the people of this country. It was thought that, like the European countries, we wou'd use, ' when our civilization was older, but one-third or one-half as much wood per capita as we did in the early days. But this rule does not affect the American people. The older the States and communities in this country grow the more timber they seem to require in one form or another. Demands for Timber Continue to Grow. ?v'any substitutes have been devised for wood, and yet the rcreat demand o! the country for timber continues to jfrow . More wood is used in construction to-dav than before the discover} of concrete, and more wood is used in building railway cars than before the st.?el or part steel cur was develop ed. This is apparently true in nearij every industry.

The exhaustion of American timber has not come about because the forests have been used so freely but be cause of the failure to use forestgrowing land. In a nutshell, the prob 'em is that the United States is cut ting wood out of its forests three or four times as iust as it is being grown. Much of the land on which timber stands or has been cut off \vi 1 > always be forest land. It is ample t grow a'l the wood needed for the u^e of the people of this country and for export trade in lumb' r and products manufactured from lumber, if the land can he kept at work r.rowin trees. Timber for the future is simply a matter of putting idle land to work. A surprising amount of reforestation has come about by chance, but i'. is manifestly impossible to depend on chance for adequate reforestation of much of our cut-over lands. As lumber is a public utility, it seems wise for the Federal Government to acquire as many acres of forest as pos-, sible and administer it nationally; yet] for the Government to acquire all the forst land in the United States is impossible. Over three-fourths of it i-* now in private hands, and a large proportion necessarily must remain un ler private ownership. Every reasonable encouragement should be triven to the land-owners tc. [ tow timber on his own account in the rt'ays best suited to his own purposes. Hit by some means <vr other the public must see to it that forests lands not needed for agriculture do not lie idle The regulations imposed must be reasonable and eouitablc. Obviouslly the | nvner of the land can not do it all. rhe public must aid him in overcomng the hazard of forest fires and nust recognize that the present mehods of taxing forests in many regions are equivalent to taxing a farm rop twice a week during the growing season. To grow timber on the average ,ract of land, doing it as a public itility, three things must bo done. The >\vner must be given the benefit of a noderate tax while his crop of timber s being grown; it must be protected Voni forest fires due to the negligence )f his neighbor or the ncgligcnce of he community; and he must be retired to employ sufficient safeguards in the way his timber is cut. lis slashings disposed of, and fire langer avoided to actually reforest he land. o A.

Ho hails from the Ii'ue Ridge section of Virginia, and bred in tlu hone is his love for animals. In thi fo\ hunting section of Virginia, Wi! son grew up with horses and dogs Hut the place held little future, and so Wilson Jackson packed his carpet bag and traveled to Washington where lie succeeded in getting an appointment as messenger in the census department, says a writer in the New York Evening Post. Hut when'Mrs. Roosevelt asked for the detail of a private messenger to the White House it was Wilson Jackson who was selected as best suited for the post. Ever since that time Uncle Saiv has carried Wilson on his pay roll as "White House messenger," but always his main job has been looking after the White House pots. The Roosevelt boys had so many pets when they lived at the White Mouse that it took a special "detail" to overlook them. And even then thev cot out of bounds, invading; the executiv offices of the White House and crawling up the trouser leg of distinguished visitors awaiting audience with the president. For tho Roosevelt pet. were not confined to ponies and dog; and sheep, hut were a regular menagerie of rabbits and mice and turtles and snakes?everything that wriggled and crept. Laddie Boy's Valet. "Marster Ted," the new assistant secretary of the navy, greeted Wilson Jackson delightedly the other day and reviewed his boyhood with him. wanted to know what sort of a col lection he had at the White House now. Wilson told him that his chief job was valet to Laddie l?oy, the thoroughbred Airedale presented to President Harding as the White House mascot. It was to ask about his new charge that I went down to the White Hruse to interview Wilson Jackson. >Ie had just given Laddie Boy his morning] run in the White House grounds. "What do you give him to eat?" was my first question. ''Does ho have White House fare?" "No'm," he grinned, "lie ,ies' has dog fare?biscuit, with sometimes a little soup or gravy. And I don' feed him but once a day, about fo' o'clock. You see, he has brefas' vith the Pres'dent every mawnin" /md he alius feeds him sumthin' from the table. 1 takes him up promptly at quarter to eight, and then I tako.> him again to escort the Pres'dent from the office to lunch, when he goes in with him and sets right down by the table, no matter who the Pres'dent \s company is." "He seems to be a privileged character." I remarked. President Harding has become very much attached to him, hasn't he?" Presidents .Motor Companion. "Yesm, and so has Mrs. Harding. She used to have a flog herself, she to!' me. And she likes to see Laddie Boy running around tho house.

At the White Mouse that morning was MIi'/abeth Swaffield, of South. Carolina, who is going to cash Laddie j Hoy in bronze for the President. She e.\i)lained what this bliieblood Airedale meant to her. "For a year 1 have been in Wash-! ington recuperating from a long i'lness. It is restful here and I thought the place would help my art to come: back, but try as I might, the desire to work seemed dead. "One day, shortly after the inau- j guration, 1 went to the movies, and there flashed on the screen a picture of Laddie Boy, the President's morning paper clutched in his mouth, tailwagging and ears upstanding. There was something so magnetic in the sight that its appeal caught me. 1 must madcl that dog! And I lost no time in obtaining snapshots of him. from which I made my model in clay,; using an improvised tool of orange stick and hairpins. 1 am now going to model him from life. How grateful I am to Laddie Boy!" To Stop a Cough Quick take J HAYES' HEALING HONEY, a ' , cough medicine which stops the cough by healing the inflamed and irritated tissues.

Recommendations of the association passed at its recent annual meeting:, point out in detail why alterations in almost every subject of the school curriculum are urged.

Our histories should be revised by reducing the detail of the earlier epochs, and cmphasizinng the topics of more vital importance to modern situations." Mwtnrv, tb?? recommendation** point out should be taught to fifth vear classes, as supplementary readititr rather than as history. In other grades, "the study of explorers and leaders should be limited to a smaller number of selected characters/' "There should bo no detail study of war," the principals assert, only gen oral clauses, trend of struggle and i the leaders who effected the results."

In view of the changes effected by ho war, the teachers submit that here is a radical change in the reative importance of topics which thould be reflected in the course of dudy. The present course, they joint out, is overcrowded and leads ;o a wrong emphasis on locational geography. Georgraphy should be egarrled as the study of "the home \ )f man" and the "industrial, com- ^ torri d, social and economic relations ^ >f man with man." ' Regarding English, the teachers' purpose that technical grammar beo\v the 7A grade should be omitted \nd the aim should be to habituate .he children to correct structure and grammatical forms. Nature, the teachers set forth, as studied at present in many parts of ,he city is an artificial subject. They recommended that "regardless of locality, nature should be taught whenever the occassion arises in language, Iraw'M'*. r^^'Tiaphy, science, civics md hygiene."
