ENGLAND BUYING’ AMERICAN WALNUT. Also Discovers It’s Best for Aer-. > oplanes—Shots Do Not Splinter It. A lumber visitor among Chi- cago lumbermen represents the British Government as purchas- er of certain woods for ‘export to supply the War Department. He came to America’ in April on the Lusitania. His principal business in this country “is to procure walnut for gunstocks| > and other woods for aeroplanes. The available supply of Euro- pean walnut is exhauste@ and American black walnut now must meet the demand: This wood is not only supplying the British gunstocks, but it is the principal wood now in use for) aeroplane propellers. That important use of black walnut is the latest, and it is likely to be a large one if the war continues to spread and is con-; tinued long The wood is not so strong as some others, including hickory and maple, -but it is! probably stronger, weight for weight, than any other wood « suitable for propellers. Walnut does not splinter when struck. If it breaks at all, breaks clean. The quality comes in good play when a warplane is under fire. Walnut, after being well sea-} soned, has little disposition to} shrink and swell. ‘American ash, hickory and spruce-are the chief ‘woods in} the frames of British aeroplanes. Hickory goes across the sea in| the form of long logs, straight and faultless. Those now being shipped for the British War De- partment cost $60 a thousand feet on this side, and the freight across the sea costs $100 more, so urgent is the need the British Government pays the freight. The best hickory grows in the American forests. 2 Still another wood ranks re- inarkably high in aeroplane work. The British call it silver spruce, but it is the West Vir- ginia red spruce. Mesa Verde Prophets. The season so far verifies the weather predictions of the In- dians who occasionally visit the Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado .for trad- ing purposes, but who never stay an hour longer than is nec- essary because of their dread of the ‘‘little people’? whom they believe still inhabit, in spirit form, the prehistoric cliff dwell- ings that have made the Mancos Valley famous the world over.

Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buf- falo, N.Y. 42-2t Refugees Slow to Pay US Washington, D. C., July 28.— The United States is about $200,- 000 short on collections on the $500,000 advanced to assist Ameriean refugees in returning the war a year ago. The assistance was given the American refugees on the under- standing that if they were fi- nancially able to do so the mon- ey would be returned to the Government. In all these travelers have re- turned $261,753.90 to the Gov- ernment. The _ balance, - about $200,000, is still in a process of liquidation and every now ,and then the State Department’ re- ceives a check. But it is thought that by now most of those who intend to pay the money back have done so. Puppie Bites Caused Death.
