The hospital now is under construction here and will be a memorial to the famous Hoosier poet and will be used for the treatment of crippled and sick Indiana children. Although no general campaign has been held, gifts and pledges to the hospital building fund are received daily from some part of the state at the headquarters of the state campaign committee, it was said. Pledges to the hospital building fund are made payable over a four-year period, one-fourth payable annually, as it is expected that four more years will be required to complete the construction of, the hospital, which will be a $2,000.000 institution. Many state, county and local clubs, societies and organizations are raising memorial fundr for the hospital from within their membership and in recognition of their efforts the names of the organizations will be perpetuated by memorials within the completed hospital, according to present plans,

GASOLINE TO BE TAXED TWO CENTS A GALLON Indianapolis, Jan. 30.—Legislation designed to produce approximately $6,000,000 for the state highway commission’s road building program for each of the next two years was put in shape for consideration of the Indiana legislature. Two sources are provided—a gasoline tax and increased automobile license fees. The gasoline tax bill that has the approval of the administration differs somewhat from one introduced yesterday by Representative Ahlgren, republican, floor leader. The measure put into the house, Representative Ahlgren said, was submitted in the belief that it was the administration bill. After introducing the bill, the representative said he learned administration bill was not yet complete. He will withdraw the bill, he introduced, Representative Ahlgren said. The administration measure is said to provide for a tax of two cents a gallon and provides for two methods of collection. By one method the tax would be collected directlv from the distributor and by the other would be colfrom retailers. There is said to be some questions as to the constitutionality of the first method. Should it be held illegal the second method of collection could be used. The plan to increase automobile license fees is based on the horsepower and veight of vehicles, The tax on motor cycles would be increased from $2 to 85. A new' speed law is also‘provided. For passenger cars the limit w’ould be thirty miles an hour in the country and 18 miles an hour on city streets. Other cars and trucks with pneumatic tires would be limited to 25 miles in the countrv and 16 miles nn urban streets. Varying limits are provided for vehicles with solid tires and of heavier weights. The general appropriation bill introduced last week made no provision for the state highway department. It was decided by the budget commission and Governor McCray that the highway anprooFiation should await action by the legislature on the gasoline tax and increased license fees. The general property tax for highw-ay purposes will probably be eliminated. - -•—• o B. & O.

LUMBER SUPPLY OF U. S. IS FAST DECLINING Washington, D. C.- As never before the world is taking stock of what it needs, Chief Forester William B. Greeley says in his annual report. Not the least indispensable of these things is wood, he says, and to take stock of (how much wood we have and what we shall need is an important step in determining our future attitude toward our forests. “As a background to this broad inquiry," Colonel Greeley cobtines, “forest service investigators have recently completed a unique and exhaustive compilation of the forest resources of the world. One startling revelation is that so far as our great structural and all purpose woods —the softwoods—are concerned, we must become self-sufficient or go without. Siberia has great forested areas, yet if all the Siberian timber were at the undisputed call of the United States the quantity available for annual export would hardly amount to one-fourth of our demands. Further, a great part of the forests of Siberia lie within the interior of the continent and never will be available. There is an immense reservoir of hardwoods in the tropics, which can be used for limited and special purposes and secured at mahogany prices. But the struggle for the world’s supply of softwoods will become more and more intense, and those nations will fare best that prudently use their suitable waste lands for growing coniferous woods. This study shatters the dream of those who rely on importing the timber we need when our own is gone, “The situation is not hopeful when we turn to our own forests. There has been a marked and fairly steady decline in our national output of lumber from about 46,000,000,000 board feet in 1906 to less than 34,000,000,000 board feet in 1922, This downward trend, which seems unlikely to turn permanently upward again at any time that can now be soreseen, has taken place in spite of a Urge increase in population, with its increasing demand for housing, furniture, and wood in many other forms. The decline in the production of lumber and the increase in population have resulted in a striking drop in the per capita consumption of lumber —from oyer 500 board feet per person in 1906 to about 320 board feet in 1920. This decline in the consumption of wood unquestionably means a decline in the standards of living. Os this declining standard the shortage of housing is an impressive example. “The shortage of lumber', with its corollary of high prices, has followed the Westward sweep of lumbering, the hulk of our population and the greatest brands for lumber remain in the Central and Eastern states. The Nation’s lumber shipment in 1920, a recent Forest Service study shows, was no less than 2,070,000 cafinadsj and thp average haul for each carload was 485 miles. According to the best estimate the Forest Service is able to make, the freight bill on lumber for that year was $275,000,000. This sum merely gives one measure of thp of treating ouf forests as minps instead of timber farms, A fraction of this sum wisely invested each year in forest protection and rehabilitation would grow timber where it is needed, reduce the Nation’s freight bill, cheapen lumber, and release vast amounts of rajjrqad equipment and labor or uwoidaMe tfaßSPort- P»1 and iron can not fee fFQWH? but timber can U, ■ o SCHOOL OF NUBSING The UUFA .4 Kintfig Seminary of Nursing in tmeetion with Goshen Hospital offer* a twmyoung women between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five.

IDEAL ROADBED BETWEEN SHOALS AND LOOGOOTEE Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 30.— (Special)—White quartz mined in the vicinity is being used to surface approximately nine miles of State Road Nd. 52 between Shoals and Loogootee and will provide a roadbed that will be ideal in many respects while also being exceedingly durable for heavy traffic, John D. Williams, director of the state highway commission, said today. The quartz was used for the first time last year and proved very satisfactory. Owing to the fact that the highway commission can procure it on a royalty basis of six cents a yard, and move the material to proper destination with department equipment, it makes one of the most economical materials that sofar has been used in Indiana state road construction. Maintenance by the department started today on State Road No. 52 from French Lick, in Orange county for a distance of four miles to a point in Martin county, Mr. Williams announced. This road connects with 52 and provides excellent connection between Shoals, Loogootee and French Lick. o — STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN “The constant warning which the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has been giving to automobilists in the territory traversed by its lines through almost incessant appeal to them to heed the simple grade crossing rule—‘Stop, Look and Listen’ —is bringing favorable results in the saving of life and the prevention of injury,” This statement was made by C. W. Galloway, vicepresident of operations of the Baltimore and Ohio, in reviewing results obtained during the 11 ! months to December 1, 1922, “According to observations made at grade crossings during that time,” continued Mr, Galloway, to whom Safety First is of first importance in operating a railroad, “the percentage of automobilists observed who did not ( protect ’ themselves when crossing the right-of-way was but 17.2 for the 11 months and 21.5 for the month of ’ “Observations were made in ’ the territory embraced by both j the Eastern and Western Lines ( of the Baltimore and Qh|o System. Dpring Noveinber, only 2 ’ per cent were careless in grossing L the tracks on the Eastern Lines, but this watchfulness on the j part of automobilists generally in this section was not so appar1 ent on the Company’s Western t Lines where 28.4 per cent neglected the railroad’s cautions.” J Pointing out the extent to . which the Baltimore and Ohio Company had recorded the drivers of aqtq yehjeies grossing its ; tracks, Mr. Galloway further stated: ‘‘Out of 97,625 observations made at grade crosings during the eleven months on the Eastern Lines, 89,316 had learned to be obseryanted and cautious by looking in both directions before crossing the tracks, as against 8.5 per cent who did not On the Western Lines the percentage of carelessness was higher. In that section, 143,061 observations were made, showing that from this tpfai drivers of auto vehicles Rejected fhg proper precautions.'’ SHOT BIG TIMBER WOLF Alonzo Crewes, residing several miles southwest of Milford, shot a big timber wolf Monday night, pie was a male and was fyll jRWh. weighing 44 pounds. This was thg fourth wolf killed in this vicinity during the present winter. 1116 one, killed Monday night was the largest. Ms. Crewes first saw the wolf while riding horseback. He wounded the animal with his first shot and then pursued it for several hours finally killing it with a second shot late in the afternoon. The wolf was brought to Warsaw Tuesday morning and attracted attention as it lay on the sidewalk near the interurban station. — 0 JSSSAf ON THE FROG A young Norwegian wrote an ggsay on a frog, and here is how he wrote it. - “What a wonderful bird the frog are.

CONCRETE ROADS BUILT During the fiscal year of 1922 the state highway commission contracted for 110.778 miles of concrete road, 7.067 miles of brick pavement, a report of C. Gray, chief engineer, just filed with John D. Williams, director, shows. Os this mileage contracted there was completed up to the close of the fiscal year September 30, 1922, 63.434 miles of concrete, 3.520 miles of base for the brick pavement and .17 miles of brick pavement. There was carried over from 1921 and which was completed during this last season, contracts for 17.022 miles of concrete payement, and 34.638 miles of grading and structure work, all of which was completed during this last season. It is the/ftesire of the commission, Mr. Gray says, to contract approximately 160 miles of rigid type pavement in 1923, approximately fifty miles of which is already let. The commission in its contracts this year will insist that a considerable portion of materials* used by the contractor be stored prior to starting work. This is done in order that pavement work will proceed uninterrupted in the event of railroad congestion. o PRODUCTION INCREASED Washington, Jan. 29.—Almost three times as many automobiles and trucks were manufactured last December as in that month the previous year, according to the census bureau. The December output of passenger automobiles was 206,428 compared with 70,690 in December, 1921, and the number of trucks was 20,138 compared with 8,307. 1 o Advertise in the Journal.
