ARTIFICIAL GAS USERS INCREASE Indiana Hanks Ninth Among Consumers. One-third of the people in Indiana are now using artificial gas. according to E. J. Burke, secretary of the Indiana Gas Association. A recent survey, to measure the .level opment of the gas industry, shows that 312 Hoosiers out of every thousand are now lining artificial gas for cooking, heating or lighting. "Indiana ranks ninth among states with regard to the number of gas consumers,” said Burke "Almost a million Indiana people are making some use of artificial gas. This is an unusually large number considering the fact that in many of the smaller communities, the people are still able to obtain enough natural gas to supply their cooking needs.” Shell Rims Popular CONSTANTINOPLE.

FACTS ON STATE FORESTRY PLIGHT ARE MADE PUBLIC

Conservation Department Shows Tremendous Waste of Resources, The recent State forestry conference in'lndianapolis, prompted by | State conservation officials to arouse. ! the people to the desperate need of i putting about two million idle acres to work growing trees, brought out some interesting facts on Iloosier forest conditions. Richard Liober, conservation director, has issued a bulletin setting out these forestal needs: Thirty-three southern Indiana counties, which contain 7,940,000 acres or 34.4 per cent of the land area of the State, contain 45.4 per cent of the Amber. In 1923 there were 1,305,735 acres of woodlands in Indiana, or 5.7 per cent of the total State area At the same time there were 2.279.300 acres of waste lands, or 9.9 per rent of the j State’s total area, making no money. Indiana, according to the cooperI ding crop reporting service, in 1917 i had 1,664,886 acres in woodlands, hut j five years Idler had only 1,305.138 | acres—an average annual decrease of 71,830 acres. Indiana has long since ceased to be self-supporting from a timber standpoint, and now imports over 90 per cent of timber used. Naturally the consumers of wood pay this cost- ; ly freight bill. ; A freight bill of $lO to S2O a thouI sand board feet is attached to nearly every thousand lx.-ard feet, of timber ! used in Indiana. This State owns one State forest of 3.455 acres in Clark county, which is used as an experimental station to determine what trees do best In certain soils and on various elevations. t This Is the largest station in tiie nation.

RUSH OF MOTOR BILLS EXPECTED IN LEGISLATURES | All of 35 States Consider Laws Designed to Aid Drivers, By ISRAEL KLEIN SEA Service Writer Motorists, next year, will face another raft of automotive bills in the stream of State legislation. Thirty-four States will have legislative sessions i:i 1925, all but one in ! January, and every one of them is ; expected to consider the passage of I more law's concerning the motorist. | The laws will range from simple I regulations for improvement of traffic. through more taxation, up to the most serious of them all—compulsory liability Insurance. The number of automotive Dills will vary In all States. They have been classified, however, under eight topics by the Motor Vehicle Conference Committee at Washington. Important Subjects These are: 1. Compulsory liability insurance. 2. Certificate of title laws to prevent theft and bring about recovery of stolen vehicles. 3. Drivers' licenses and examinations necessary for the Issuance ] thereof. 4 Highway construction and ' maintenance and methods of properi ly financing such. 5. Motor vehicle taxation —form ! -if registration fees and other license I charges 6. Traffic rules and ‘ regulations, I including hand signals, etc. 7. Highway engineering, relating i to such things as signs, elimination ; of curves, lighting and other methods of reducing operating hazards. 8. Motor vehicle equipment, in ; eluding such things as lights and ' their adjustment brakes and their adjustment, etc. Others, Too These are not all There is agitaj Mm, for more motor true): regulation I and taxation. There are signs of I further legislation with regard to j motor busses on city streets and ! country highways. ; And numerous minor subjects, i more or less related to rnotordom. I are expected to be taken up. | Automobile clubs have practically I surrendered before the assault of gasoline tax laws, which already j have been adopted by most of the States. Now the clubs and other related organizations are girding themselves for a more serious battle — compulsory liability insurance. Compulsory Insurance Although the Insurance companies are fighting this legislation most i seriously, the auto clubs object to it ; primarily on the ground that it is the wrong way to attack the ae- ! i.'ident problem. Instead of forcing every motorist : to buy liability insurance, they con tend, existing rates should be low- ' toii enough to draw in most drivers voluntarily. Experiences of such important or- ' ganizations ns the Auto Club of j Southern California and the Detroit ] Auto Club, which have been insuring their members at lower rates, point to the feasibility of this idea. Cats Benefit ROME, Dec. 25.-—A charity ball to provide funds for a home for stray | cats proved unusually popular.
