INCREASING RAPIDLY (Continued rom Page 1) factors at work to increase the tim- ber shortage. . “The exhaustion of American tim- ber has not come about because the forests have been used so freely, but because of the failure to use forest growing land. 1In a nutshell, the problem is that the United States is cutting wood out of its forests three or four times as fast as it is being grown. Much of the land on which timber stands or has been cut off will| | always be forest land. It is ample to grow all the wood needed for the use of the people of this country and; for export trade in lumber and: pro- ducts manufactured from lumber, if the land can be kept at work grow- ing trees- Timber for the future is simply a matter of putting idle land to work.” ‘NEBULA SHOWS SOME SPEED | Body Flying Through the Heavens at | Rate of Two Thousand Kilome. | i ters a Second. : | pregnant bit of information: | ward over ih The Lowell observatory in Flagstaff, | Arlz, has held a stop watch on the fastest moving object ever discovered.

When they came down the friend again raised his hat and bowed low to the boy. Northcliffe remonstrated with him. “You shouldn't joke with these boys,” he said. “It makes discipline difficult.” e “Joke I" exclaimed the caller. “Good heavens, I wasn't joking.

Aup oil painting of Abraham Lincoln, 25 by 35 inches in size, rescued sev- eral years ago from a pile of supposed- 1y worthless furniture taken from the old Red Lion inn in Philadelphia, to- - day forms a mystery over which there fs much discussion by artists.. After its rescue the picture was hung in a Philadelphia residence where a paint- er, Baruch' M. Feldman, happened upon it and purchased it. He began the worlf/ of reclaiming it, and after the dirt had.been removed the portrait stood- out, clear and well defined n all | ts features. Artists’ who have seen the picture are agrey at the’character of the portrait is such that the suggestion that it might have been painted from a photograph is rendered absurd.
