Great Effect on the Market*
of the World.
An article In a current magazine bj
A. J. Sack presents statistics on RuavSAala's
forest resources as a means of
H^rpaylng the billions of dollars due to
home and foreign creditors.
The astonishing statement Is made
by this writer that Russia. Including
Siberia, has 1,125,000,000 acres of timber
which is 63 per cent as much as
the whole world possessed. This resource
is being set aside by Russian
economists as a fund to pay the country's
debts.
The effect on America's business
should be duly considered, observes
Hardwood Record in discussing the article.
Except oak, it continues, which
is generally known In the market as
the Japanese oak. it Is not probable
that much Russian timber will reach
the United States; but It will compete
with American lumber In otber markets,
notably those of western Europe,
and perhaps those of eastern Asia,
'western South America and the Pacific
tain ft
"To that extent," says Hardwood
Becord, "our lumber business may be
hurt by the flood of forest products
\ from Russia. In normal times Germany
received 48 per cent of its lumber
Imports from Russia, and England's
per cent of timber Imports from
that source was nearly as large.
"Lumber shipments from Russia will
come from the Baltic, from the Arctic
coast of Russia proper and Siberia,
and from the Pacific coast of the latter
country. The principal lumber
markets of the world can be reached
from those points."
Otd-Tlme Barley Bread.
"We find more entertainment than Instruction
in an editorial of the Hartford
Courant on the revised use of
barley. It refers to Its use In Bible
times and finds this verse In the Book
of Judges to give an idea of its quality:
"And when Gideon was come, beAVam
. man tKof frnllt
BUiu Uici c n no m ujou ****** ?v?u
dream unto his fellow, and said. Be*
hold, I dreamed a dream, and lo, a
cake of barley bread tumbled Into the
host of Mldlan and came unto a tent
and smote - It that It fell and over*
turned It, that the tent lay along."
The Courant seems to approve of
the use of barley flour, though admit*
ting some difficulties In preparing It
for bread. But It takes this Bible
verse as evidence that Its density
would make it serviceable as a pro*
jectUa.?Waterbury American.

Before this high-school graduate of
J snuaual accomplishments obtained her
f present position of Indoor mechanic,
she proved herself as efficient as the
men In doing line work, climbing poles
( and replacing wires as readily as any
of them, says Popular Mechanics, in
describing her attainments.
. But for the war and the shortage of
miii bovine mechanical evnerlenee. she
probably would not be filling a man's
place.
However, being fond of mechanics
and having a knowledge of electricity,
she Intends to remain at her pos^untll
peace comes, and then get a college
education.

/ Policeman Apologizes.
Released by the signal of the traffic
policeman, the stream of vehicles was
surging through Market street when a
young woman In a new car drove up
Broad street. She pulled out to pass
the other cars that had halted and
kept on her way, pumping the horn
ahrllly and Insistently: "I blew the
horn loudly enough; why didn't you
make those cars stop and let me by?"
she freezlngly asked the policeman
after he hud rescued her. "My mistake,
madam" said the officer. "I
thought you were blowing for me to
move the Kinney building back out of

I Wrist Score Pad*
| A convenient little score pad for the
B foLfer Is attached to a leather strap,
B -which may be fastened around the
I -wrist
H The score pad is worn, of coarse, on
B the left wrist and the golfer may jot
down memoranda of his score as easily
as social memos fire scrawled on
IH starched cuffs?or used to be when
starched cuffs were in fashion.
The usefulness of the wrist has been
uHB coriiv n^eipoted in other years, when
fthe bracelet and occasionally the fan
were the only things It was expected to
carry. Wrist watches and golf scores
now fall to Its share as part of the
burden of life's Impediments, and very
.efficiently It meets Its new obligations.
The Dream and the Business.
"The Germans thought war was romantic
and glorious," said Brand
Whltloek In a Toledo address. "They're
finding it a very -Tdld and disappointing
business. . ^
"The Germans a? X In the position at
[' i the young lady who was asked If her
^"Meeaslde love affair had been very ro'
'mantle.

rafher. Hubert and I each

I our near-silk parlor curtains.'"
