SOUTH PLANS TO REFOREST LAND j ONCE CUT-OVER Lumbermen Will Convene at Washington in September to Consider Question. FIGHT LUMBER TARIFF WASHINGTON. July 18.—In reforestation the South has one of its biggest opportunities for wealth and national service. said Charles Lathrop Pack, president of tli# American Forestry Association, today, in a statement on the importance of the Third Son them Forestry Conference, which opens in Atlanta Wednesday. Pack has called a forestry conference for Washington in September, and big representation from the South is expected. The South needs reforestation badly. Pack points out. Power experts employed in developing the power from some of the streams in the South, testified before the Agricultural Committee of the House of Representatives some time ago that the capacity of certain reservoirs was so much reduced that in a few years only the flow of the rivers would be available for power. A report from the Geological Survey on the amount of silt carried by some of these rivers states that the Susquehanna carries to the sea, annually, 210.000 tons, the Roanoke, 3.000.000 tons; the Alabama. 3 039.000 tons, the Savannah, 1,000.000, and the Tennessee, 11.000.000 tone. It Is but reasonable to assume that at least half of this wastage of soil material is preventable. RECLAIM LAND ALSO FOR FARMERS. Reclamation is of two classes —lands reclaimed for cultivation and those for forests. As to need of forests a few figures will show the importance of the work the Southern Forestry Conference can do. Pack said: “When the State of Florida gets two carloads of forest products a month from the States of Washington and Oregon j the .Teight bill adds much to the cost ot lumber. When the State of Minnesota gets 3.615 carloads per month from these States the freight ts also a considerable t Item. The figures show the normal j freight shipments of forest products from j Oregon and Washington to be 32.340 car- j loads per month, and of this amount I 21.270 carloads were forest products and adds to the cost of lumber used In ths East, lumber which an adequate forest j policy would result In growing in or near j the State in which it was used, thereby j greatly reducing the cost as well as increasing the supply. FREICHT RATES ARE MOUNTING. “As to transportation of lumber, the | fact that the center of the lumber in- j dnstry is nearing the Pacific Coast means higher freight rates as well as bulky ma- j terial taking np the car space of other ; commodities. “We must have a national forest policy l in this country. It is a simple business ! proposition that would put the idle land j nearer the centers of population to work ! growing timber and thereby reducing the cost of construction. The Snell bill has the backing of the American Newspaper j Publishers' Association, the Association of Wood-Using Industries and hundreds . of imilar organizations, as well as the American Forestry Association. To the South comes a grpat opportunity. All I success to the conference in Atlanta Dext j Wednesday 1” With the transportation condition in j regard to forest products as outlined Pack is opposed to any tariff on lumber. He believes that, with the country in need of at least a million homes and quite as many if not more farm buildiDgs for agricultural purposes, now is the time to build, because it is certain that prices of lumber will increase as the years go by to such an extent that unless adequate housing is now provided it will be seriously retarded by growing j rests.

INDIANAPOLIS TEACHER HIRED Miss Maurine Watkins Goes to Shelbyville. Special tn The Times. SHELf.YVILLE, Ind, July 18.—The Shelbyvllle school board, at its meeting Saturday, selected Miss Maurine Watkins of ludianapolis a3 instructor of oral expression in the high school for the coming term, to succeed Miss Edwina Day of Bedford, whose resignation was accepted. Miss Irene Girton of this city was chosen as supervisor of health in the public schools, anew department to be created with the opening of the school term. Miss Watkins has been teaching at Gloucester, Mass. She was an honor student of the Crawfordsville High School, was graduated from Butler College, and attended the women's department of Harvard University. In announcing the opening of the department of heafth in the schools, the board granted a city-wide request which has been made for the last two years that a nurse be appointed to give her entire attention to the work. Miss Girton is at present in public health nurse work at San Francisco, Cal., and has had considerable experience in Cuba and the Panama Caual Zone. MacVeagh Residence Purchased by Mexico WASHINGTON*. July 18.—The Mexican government has purchased the MacVeagh mansion, one of the show places of the capital, for its embassy for J3.j0.000. Acquisition of the most pretentious embassy building in Washington leads to the belief that Mexico thinks the United States is on the eve of recognizing the Obregon government. The MacVeaugh mansion. Sixteenth street, was formerly the home of Franklin MacVeagh. It was Inilt by Mrß. MacVeagh as a Christmas gift to her husband. The present Mexican embassy is an inconspicuous building off Fourteenth street. The new embassy is suited for lavish entertainments. It was last occupied by Breckenrldge Long, ‘assistant Secretary of State, and was turned over to the British mission, headed by Arthur Balfour during the war. Red Cross Nurses Busy Despite Peace WASHINGTON, July IS.—Although the Nation ts at peace, 257 Red Cross nurses are still on dnty with the United States Army, while 131 are still serving the N'avy. The American Red Cross Nursing Service, in which 37.009 nurses are enrolled. is the official nursing reserve of the military establishment. In addition 1.163 Red Cross, nurses are on duty with the United State Public Health Service. largely in connection with the care of disabled veterans of the World War. HARTFORD MAN FINED.

New Queen of the Seas, U. S. S. Maryland, Latest Achievement of Naval Construction

When the superdreadnaught, the United States steamship Maryland, steams out of Hampton Roads early in November and points her clipper bow toward the sea for her official Government trials the Nation will hail anew pride of the Navy and the Navy itself will acknowledge a new queen of the seas. The Maryland is hi every respect the latest completed achievement of American naval architects. Carrying eight sixteeninch guns, the largest ever mounted in a battleship, she will be the most powerful fighting vessel in the world. These mammoth guns, located in four turrets of two guns each, fire a shell weighing 2.100 pounds for a distance of more than twenty miles. These guns are about fifty-seven feet in length and for each full charge approximately 4SO pounds of powder are required. The secondary battery, consisting of fourteen five-inch guns, is carried for use against torpedo boats, submarines and other smaller craft. Ths ship has also four three-inch anti-aircraft guns, a three-inch landing gqn, six .30 caliber machine guns and two underwater twenty-one inch tubes for firing the largest and longest range torpedoes. PROTECTED AGAINST TORPEDO ATTACKS. .The Maryand possesses ail the latest provisions for protection against torpedo attacks. It is claimed by naval architects that it will be almost an impossibility to sink the ship by an underwater attack. The crew and vital parts will be protected by armor plate so thick that only the largest caliber shells, fired at moderate range, might penetrate. Displacing 32,600 tons, this huge warship, electrically driven, will have a

YES,SCALES MAY BE ‘WRONG;’ But Less Try These Sub and Abnormal Pounders Are Best Patrons at Penny a Throw. "Why, the very idea. Ton know these scales are wrong. Why, I only weighed 176 on the butcher's scales up on College avenue. Tou can't ever depend on these penny scales.” “No sir, you can't. Why. I weighed down at a 5 and 10-cent store the other day and then weighed on the Iceman's scales and I weighed three pounds less.' “That's so. You can lose ten pounds in one block on these things." Most of them are women, those persons who stuff the downtown scales with pennies, and most of them are sure all the scales are wrong. Never does a stouf person leave the scale platform without insisting that she has been mechanically slandered. Her friends always agree with her. These are the observations of persons at cigar counters, soda fountains and other places near which the patent scales have been placed. They have seen hundreds d.mp the copper coin Into the slot and then express dissatisfaction with the result as ipdlcated on the swinging dial. There are two classes among the women weighers, according to these observers: those who exceed what they consider “normalcy” and those whose frames are deficient. At one counter the attendant said he has regular customers, who hav almost ceased giving their orders. The fat one always orders a limeade, and then weighs The slim one always orders a malted milk and then weighs. Roth classes make mneu ado if a pound has been gained or lost.

The Maryland, is 024 feet long and has a beam of ninety-seven and one-half feet. There will be sixty-seven officers in the ship's completement and more than one thousand four hundred men in her regular crew. TESTS SHOW PEFECT RECORD. This most modern of warcraft recently completed her builders' trials with a perfect record. For thirty-three continuous hours at sea off the Virginia Capes she was put through all sorts of tests, bringing into play the greatest possible stress on all parts of her machinery and equipment, but not the slightst trouble was experienced . In fact, naval officials declared she operated more like a boat that had been in service four or 'five years, so readily and easily did she respond In the tests. Capt. Charles F. Preston, who has been assigned to the command of the Maryland and was aboard during the preliminary trials. Is most enthusiastic over the perfect performance of the new electric ship. “Never on a warship that pleased me more in my thirty-sir years with the Nary. She's a wonder in every respect, the best warship In our Navy and the most powerful In the world," he declared, “I am highly pleased and satisfied with her electric equipment. There Is practically no vibration and sometimes I actually looked out to sea to learn if we were under power so quietly and smoothly did her machinery operate." ELECT RICAE THROUGHOI T. Like her prototype, the New Mexico, pioneer electric warship of the world, the

Three pounds detracted from a 184-pound woman is almost enough in her estimation ;o Justify the declaration of a holiday, and if a slender miss acquires ad- ! ditlonal poundage she gathers her friends * from all over the store to announce the j fact. Distributors of the scales say they can I not complain at any time ht the patron- | age accorded their product. Bummer or 1 winter, the pennies will come in. Whether * the buxom form is the style or Paris designers use a slender model for their ' gowns, the pennies roll in. Women will know their variation from the ideal in weight, and the pennies keep dropping. STILLMAN BOYS ARE CONTENTED Happiness of Childhood Is Bulwork of Children Against , Scandal Clouds.

James Mcßride, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Mcßride, was painfully injured when the gun exploded and a loaded cartridge was discharged, the bullet entering the palm of fcis left hand. An operation on the band was required to remove the bullet. Remarkable Phosphate Discovered By French Scientist Increases Weight and Strength of Thin, Weak People in Two Weeks Time in Many Cases. All that most weak, nervous, thin, mentally depressed people need is ten grains of pure organic phosphate (such as Bit-ro-Phosphate) with each meal for a few weeks. That is what nerve specialists in London. Paris and New York are prescribing with wonderful results. Dr Frederick S. Kolle, author of medical text book* and editor of N. Y. “Physicians' Who's Who,” declares: "It would be a Godsend if more weak, thin, nervous men and women were aware of the effiency of Bltro-Phosphate.” Hook's Drug Stores and leading druggists everywhere have a brisk demand for BitroPhosphate because of its power to h>lp revitalize the nerves, increase bodily weight and bring back energy and mental ke-nness. CAUTlON—Although Rttro-Phosphate is an excellent aid in relieving weak nervous conditions. Its use is not advised unless increased weight is desired. —Advertisement.

A completely equipped hospital will be maintained on board with Navy surgeons to look after the health of the crew and a dentist to look after the men’s teeth. A chaplain will be assigned to the ship to hold regular church, services and to devote his time to spiritual welfare of the officers and men. v
