RUSSIA'S RICH TIMBER LANDS C|yst*matle Exportation Would Hava ? 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.

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. I ?????? / 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.
