sash locks. Use putty and weather stripping where necessary. ' - - ,1

Inspect windows and walls of attic. Dead air In an

attic keeps the lower stories warmer. . Plug up any openings from attic between walls.

In basement plug any openings from outside or be

Oh Man!

Waste Paper Collection Collections for the Day Nursery's annual waste paper campaign will be made Oct. 19, 20 and 21. ' The papers, magazines, books, old shoes and rubbers will be sold and the proceeds used for the maintenance of the nursery.

The institution provides a' shelter and train

ing for the children of mothers who are com

pelled to work during the day. The children are kept at the nursery during the hours in which

the mothers are employed. :

The service of the institution is a meritorious one, justifying its appeal for aid. No money is asked, only the waste material which otherwise would be disposed of in some other manner. The co-operation of housewives will be appreciated by the Day Nursery.

: Saving the Wood Supply Conservation Principles Applied to Saving Industry from Destruction and Lumber for People.

V WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct 17. In no great American industry, not even the meat-packing ' industry, in which by common repute everything is utilized but the hog's squeal, is conservation today receiving greater attention than in' the lumber industry. The lumber producer, once of all our Industrial giants the greatest and most notorious wastrel, has begun to b? ' provident and canny. The industry ' has been forced to it. Its alternative " is to change methods or prepare for the end of greatness. And what is now being done to change methods constitutes one of the most interesting stories in modern industrial science. The fact is that America is nearina the end of her timber resources. Eyen 10 yearfa ago the prediction that the 1 end was nigh was scouted as the outcry of the professional alarmist. But ' exnandin population, the enormous

demand of the war for lumber, the ceaseless forest fires, all have done their work. America is faced with th-J unpleasr.nt fact that her once seemingly inexhaustible forests, which stretched across 3,000 miles with only a break for the great plains, are nearing ex- " haustion. Already the pinch is being felt, especially in the East. -The growing prices tell part of the story. The consumption of lumber has dropped from an average per capita ie of 500 board t.feet in 1!)06 to S16 board feet in 1020 a drop of 37 per cent in 14 years. Ca--

. - ry mis out 10 me t-uu. auu iuo v.uusumption of lumber would cease P.lto

gether about the year 1940. The remnents of the virgin stands of pine in the Southern states will be cut out in

- another ten years.. That will leave

the Pacific Northwest as the sole re

- malning chief source of lumber; and

lumber prices in the East will be based

nnnn nrt.imi ntiH Washington nrice-i

- plus the freight rate across the conti

nent, a rate tnat is a greater sum per 1,000 board feet than easterners had to pav for lumber itself, including the

haulage charge, a few years ago. The government was first to realize the impending doom of the American . forests, and combat it established the ; ""United States forest service to pro- " tect and maintain the timbered areas of the public domain fet aside in perpetuity as rational forests. Certala I .states" followed the government's ; Z oxamp'e. establishing strite forest ser- : vices. A little over 10 veers ago the J forest service established at Madison, Wisconsin, the forest products laboratory to study the problems of the industry scientifically, devoting speciai attention to the conservation of wood after it had been cut. The industry at that time may have looked askance at this innovation as being another one of those governmental bueraus. Be that as it may. when the laboratory celebrated its tenth birthday recently.

lumbermen traveled thousands ot miles to be there and assist with their

. presence. The laboratory has already : saved millions to the industry, and it

! has only just begun to show what It

can do.

Finally, the lumber industry itself

; took up the campaign of conservation.

-Through its own organization, the Na : ' tional Manufacturers' association, i! - is co-operating with the various of

, fical bodies as well as pursuing its own

lines of research. Two-Fold Problem To Be Solved.

: " There is room here only to outline

a few of the methods whereby the tim

; . ber supply of the United States is to he saved. The problem is two-fold, al""though both halves are interknit th conservation in forests themselves,

' and. secondly, conservation in the

- mills and in the use of lumber.

In the woods the greatest problem

is fire. Even with to day's diminish

ed per capita use of lumber, we are cutting down trees four times as fast as nature can grow new wood;-but in

pplte bf all the systems of protectioa the forest fire continues- to be ever.

more destructive than the woodman f

axe. The solution of the fire prob-

lent seems to be ft more elaborate sys

tem of fire protection and greater cooperation with state and national firs

'inner

protection services on the part of private owners of timber land. Of the more than 32,000 forest fires annually,' lightning starts about onefifth of them and human carelessness the rest. The tobacco smoker is the chief offender. A strong effort is being made to induce tobacco manufacturers to print fire warnings on all packages of cigars, cigarets and pipe tobacco. The chief damage wrought by forest fires is not in the virgin timber but In the cut-over lands in which the youn? trees have not yet reached merchantable size. It is burniDg the wealth of the future. Three-fourths of all cutover forest lands would reforest themselves, i It were not for fires. The fire hazard, too, is the chief deterrent to private owners of cut-over lands to reforest them. Men hesitate to lock up a considerable investment

which is always subject to destruct

ion from an unpreventable cause. A better control of fires would undoubtedly result in an increase in commercial reforestation. Yet it is a forward looking man who will invest in a business the profits of which will accrue only to his grandchildren. The slow growth of trees does not -recommend forestry as a business for an impatient man. Science, therefore, is coming to the aid of those whD would like quicker profits. It 13 doing this through what is known as laminated construction. Laminated wood construction was greatly developed during the war by the forest products laboratory. Ia plain language, it consists of glueing small pieces of wood together to form a large piece and then turning or other wise working or using the large piece as if it were a piece of clear timber.

Glues have been developed that are

practically as strong as the wood Itself, and they are now practically waterproof and bacteria proof. Already

such objects as gunstocks. airplane

propeiiors, axeltrees, bowling pins, and

the like are being made of laminated wood, and the development is expected

to produce beams, girders, and string

ers that will be as strong and durable

as clear timber. Using Laminated Wood For Building. The extension of the use of lamt nated wood will have a profound elfeet upon the lumber industry in mora ways than one. It will encourage the commercial planting of forests by enabling the use of trees much smaller than those now usually cut, and will thus shorten the period of rotation iu forest culture. Furthermore, by making salable small pieces of wood heretofore held valueless, lamination will extinguish the burning slab piles which have been as perpetual an adjunct of the modern sawmill as the alter fire was in the ancient temple of

vesta. , , Lamination will have another effect. Heretofore the practice in the woods has been to reject those sections of logs which by reason of imperfection would not saw into clear timber. The section rejected might contain much usuable wood, but if it was not entirely sound it was left oti the floor of the forest to rot and add to the fire hazard. If the mill can market small pieces of wood, it can. cut up these hitherto discarded logs and save what good timber they contain. To the came end the forest products laboratory Is urging chairmakers and other users of wood in small pieces to order their lumber cut to size at the mills, abandoning their present practice of buying large pieces and sawing them up themselves. This will further encourage the more complete utilization of the logs cut in the- forest. As to the use o f by-producs, the ramifications of the conservation crnsade are almost endless. The Chicago packing house has not yet found use for the pig's squeal, but the lumbermen have discovered they can use the tree's bark. Good tarpaper can be made of the bark which accrues at the wood pulp mills. Bark after the tannin has been extracted can also be used. Waste wood at the veneer factories makes excellent paper, the scientists have discovered. Newspap-

Boston Red Sox won the world's

series from the New York Giants after a 10-inning battle, 3 to 2. The score

was tied at one all at the end of the.

ninth. New York added one in their

half of the tenth, but the Red Sox

came back for two tallies in their half,

which gave them the deciding game of

the series.' Christy Mathewson, hurling for the Giants, weakened in the tenth and the Boston batters got to

him easily.

ON CONDITIONING YOURSELF

James Allen, in his most elevating little book, "As a Man Thinketh," says this: "A man is not rightly conditioned until he is a happy, healthy and prosperous being; and happiness, health, and prosperity are the result of a harmonious adjustment of the inner with the outer, of the man with his surroundings." And the way to begin, to condition yourself so that you may stand strong and clean, is to cast from you and out of you those things which have a tendency to pull you down and to hold you back. The good sport doesn't whine or complain. He takes his medicine and it makes him well! He stands as one fit and separate from the ordinary crowd. He adapts his mind and actions to existing circumstances and makes the most of himself. Every day he creates a new world in which to live and work. And he gathers about him, by his example of cheerfulness and enthusiastic faith, multitudes of those who see in his example something sound and tru. - Even the material body Is wonderfully quick to absorb the healthgiving power that flows through the blood as the result of noble and courageous thinking. Imagine, then, the spiritual zest that the soul is given as the body rises out of its weaker self! A great character is the finest work of a man. And nothing but infinite patience and never lessening courage is able to condition into right form the elements that contribute to this end. . Yes, smile through tears. Suffer until the dross of your being is all burned away. Every one of the many sides of our nature is strengthened as each separate effort is made to build up points that are weak. Under the process, each day should open brighter and happier. How beautiful Is the garden that is always kept free from weeds, carefully watered and shows the touch of love climbing out of each individual flower! Age only adds to the picture. Try to keep yourself conditioned like the garden.

ment by Secretary of War Weeks. General Connor, at. present assistant chief of staff in the war department, is being sent to China to replace Col. William F. Martin, who is in command of the troops at Tientsin. Although the commanding officer of American troops in China has a c o m n a r ativelv

small number of soldiers under him. two battalions of about 00 men, the post is one of importance because

other nations have troops there and

une reason tor the cnange of command is thought to be the need of an officer of higher rank than a colonel to represent the United States, interests. . v General Connor is a native of Beloit.i Wis. He is a comparatively youn?" man to hold such high rank in the army, being only 4S years old. He was graduated from the United States military academy in 1897 and the Army Staff college in 1905, and the Army War college in 1909. He served in the Philippine campaign during the Filipino insurrection and was city engineer in Manila during 1899-1900. Connor was made lieutenant colonel Just after the United States entered the war in 1917 and was given the rank of brigadier general the follow-, ing year. He served in France untU January, 1919. He has been brigadier general in the regular army since April, 1921, and has been assistant chief of staff since August of the eame year. He has been decorated Trtth a D. S. M. and Croix de Guerre.
