A charming tea vu given this afternoon at tha Country club as a courtesy to Mr. Warren Clement who was recently married and has come here for residence. The club rooms were attractively decorated with a profusion of spring blossoms and cut flowers. Large sprays of the blossoms adorned the mantel, doorways and chandeliers. In the dining room where dainty refreshments were served, spring flowers were also used. A tall French basket of spring flowers was used as a center-piece on the table which was appointed with lace mats. In the receiving line were Mrs. K. B. Clements, Mrs. Warren Clements, Mrs. John Clements and Miss Mary Clements. Seventy-five women called during the hours of three to five. Mrs. Clements, before her marriage, was actively engaged In war work in France, spending two years in an army hospital. She later worked In England with the Canadian army where she met Mr. Clements who was in the naval aviation corps there. She was Miss Charlotte St Clair Leltca of St. Thomas, Ontario, before her marriage. Large sprays of. red bud, cherry blossoms and bouquets of cut flowers, ferns and palms formed the decorations for the benefit card party which was held at the Arlington hotel Saturday afternoon. Two hundred women spent the afternoon playing cards and in needlework. Auction bridge was played by most of the women, the favors going to Mrs. Walter Dalbey, Miss Miriam Krone. Miss Marguerite Hill, Mrs. A. J. Harwood, Mrs. George Fox and Mrs. Krepten. High scores in five hundred were obtained by Mrs. ritman and Mrs. F. A. Mayer, and In euchre Mrs. D.

WORLD IS I AGING FAMINE IN LUMBER

CHICAGO. ADril 28 Roger E. Sim

mons, who was sent to Russia in 1917

as a memDer or a unuea nunon ernment commission to study the lumber situation in thewar devastated countries and who was taken prisoner by the bolshevik government and at one time sentenced to be shot, told the legislative commission investigating high prices of building material that the world was facing a lumber famine. Prices of lumber, he said, were certain to rise in the next few years because of the unprecedented demand which would come from the reconstruction of the war-stricken regions of Europe. The major portion of this lumber, he said, would have to be supplied by the United States and Canada. Canada already has received an order from the British government for one billion feet of lumber, while this country has received orders for one million feet of oak from England and twelve shiploads of lumber from Italy. Mr. Simmons said Russia, which before the war exported 52 per cent of the world's lumber supply, would not be in a position to cut lumber until five years after the government had been stabilized and order restored. Austria and other countries which exported lumber before the war are in a similar position, he said.
