A society is done in this fleld. Last year there were 1,215 patients who received some form of maternity care, cither pre-natal, natal, or post and nurses were present at births. The society requires each expectant mother to be registered, in order to have ample time to receive pre-natal care. It discourages any attempt to have the patient call in & nurse at in order to save the expense of employing a doctor. How- ever, in emergencies and usually at special request of a physician, furnished in such cases, While normally the death rate in maternity cases is high, in the cases cared for by the Instructive Visiting urse Society mothers rarely die and the children are well born, because of the excellent pre-natal and post- natal attention given them. The staff of nurses employed by the Instructive Visiting Nurse Society has been trained in the best schools and hospitals in the United States and every nurse on the staff is a graduate. However, the value of the service of these nurses is greatly increased because Of the close over- sight of the five supervisors employ- ed by the society. During last year self-support by the society has increased from 308 per cent to 39.2 per cent and every effort is made to have those who are able to do so pay the 97 cents per | visit, which is the exact cost.

Questions by Maj. Bell, chairman of the commission, brought out the statement that it would take the company from 60 to 75 days to finish the inventory and that the property would then have to be appraised on the basis of that inventory. Chairman Bell then stated that the commission would be very glad to have the company's new inventory in time to give it consideration in the present rate case, but he made It plain that the commission would walit only a reasonable time. A revision property before Draw Tentative Reduction, The hearinz adourned with the un- derstanding that the commission’s ac- countants would proceed to draw. up a tentative order looking to a reduc- tion in rates. which order will be taken up for consideration at a future pub- lic hearing. At that hearing the com- pany will have/&n opportunity to pre- sent its side of the case. Maj. Bell made it plain that the com- mission itself would not prepare the tentative new rate schedule, but that this work would be done by the ac- countants, so that the minds of the open on the subject wheu the next hearing is held. Since detailed taken at today’s session, the question F'of whether the company should be al- lowed to charge the cost of radio broadcasting to telephone operating ex- penses was mentioned only inci- dentally. E. V. Fisher, secretary to the com- mission, testified that the company’s net in-ome for the 12 months ending Sep- wmber 30 was $1,348,094.34, allowing radio as a proper operating expense. Excluding radio as an operating ex- pense, the net income for the 12 months would have been $1,465,166.07, Fisher testified. Attempis Mr. Fisher did mot attempt in his testimony to say what the present fair value of the telephone property is, and, consequently, did not show what the company’s return on falr value was for the vear. William McK. Clayton, speaking for i No Valuati urged the commission not to delay ac- tion too long while waiting for a re- inventory and a reappraisal of the com- pany’s property. He also listed a num- ber of subjects which he requested be gone into at the next hearing:. They included : Is radio a proper charge to tele- phone operating expenses? Should the 41 per cent payments made by the local company to the American Tele- phone and Telegraph Co. be allowed in.whole or in part? Should the com- pany’s Federal income tax be charged to operating expenses? Should any further additions be made to the company’s depreclation fund? In asking that valuation be revised, Attorney Britten pointed out that the company’s property was valued be- fore the war and that new equipment since acquired has been added at ac- | tual cost. He sald great changes have | taken place since the valuation was made, and that the commission should make a new appraisal of the prop- erty before changing rates.

WEDNESDAY TO STAY DEPLETION OF FOREST ]PRESIDENT WARNS U. S: MUST ACT (Continued from First Page.) bulk of timber less than one-third. From overcutting and fire we have left on our hands something like elghiy million acres of denuded forest land, most of it pnfit for farmink. Then we have about two hundred and fitty million acres of second-growth forest, much of it poor in quality and amount. Three-fourths of our cut Is still from virgin forests, difficult and distant of access, so that their prod- ucts must pay for long freight hauls to reach the chief markets. Waras of Timber Exhaustion. “Expressed roughly, we have left about seven hundred. and forty-five billion cubic feet of timber. From this the annual drain i3 twenty-five billion cubic feet. This total drain is most significant when we reflect that, toward offsotting it, we have an annual timber growth of only six bil- lon cubic feet, and even in our young forests, where this growth is taking place, cutting has already outstrip- ped growth. We must face the situ- ation that at this rate we are not far from timber exhaustion. “To bridge this fatal gap between cut and- growth we have never taken sufficient action. In fact, our wealth of old-growth timber has made us prone to ignore the gap and to leave our less fortunate descendants to struggle with it But we cannot escape the penalties of our national neglect. They dre al- ready beginning to be felt. Since 1870 lumber prices have risen much more rapidly than the prices of other com- modities. Per capita annual consump- tlon of sawed lumber, which in 1906 had reached 525 board feet, has dropped to 285, and in some of the. Hastern States to 160 board feet. We are pay- ing a vearly freight bill of $230,000,000, which could better be used for growing mber than for transporting it. | “There is no eusy road out of this unprofitable situation. The end of free timber is in sight. World competition for the world rupply will leave no large dependable source of imports open to us. The use of substitutes hardly keeps pace with new uses for wood: there is no likelihood that we can become a woodless Nation even if we wanted to. | When the free timber is gone we must 8row our wood grom the soil, like any other crop. Problem of First Magnitude. trange as it may seem, the Ameri- {can people, bred for many generations to forest life, drawing no small meas- ure of their wealth from the forest, have not yet acquired the sense of tim- ber as a crop. These immense stretches of cut-over land, mostly 100 rough or too sterile for tilling, have not awakened us to their vast potential worth as growers of wood. Fully one-fourth of our Jand area ought to be kept in forest —not poor, dwindling thickets of scrub. but forests of trees fit for bridges houses and ships. Handled by the timber-cropping methods, our. present forest lands could be made to grow even more timber each year than we now use. But much of our cut-over land, Iying idle or half productive, is now an immeasurable loss. It pays little or no taxes, it keeps few hands busy, it turns few wheels, it builds no roads. Idle forest land has scrapped schools, fac- tories, railroads and towns: it has dot- ted the land with abandoned farms: it has created a migratory population. Our forest problem is a land problem of the first magnitude. “It is likewise an industrial prob- lem of great importance. Thede great industries that depend on the forest for their raw material — industries that, taken together, rank about third in value of output among our chief industrials groups—mist be pre- served. They employ a very large number of wage earners; they rep- resent an immense investment of capital; around them are built whole cities; they feed the railroads with a vast flow of traffic. In the long run they depend for their existence on making our forest soils grow tim- ber and on using that timber without waste. “This brief sketch of the forest problem would be incomplete if It did not mention the hopeful progress already made toward a better forest policy. Of our total forest area of 470,000,000 acres, about one-fifth is in public ownership. Most of these public forests are safeguarded from fire and dedicated to timber growing. Of private forest lands—in extent much the most important part of our forests—a little more thdn half have more or less adequate protection against fire. On the rest fire is free to ravage the young growth and sub- | ject the forest to a steady deteriora- tion; but the Clarke-McNary law, passed by the last session of Con- gress, will, T hope, speedily change the outlook for these neglected for- ests. It authorizes Congress, in co- operation with the States, to estab- lish systems of protection against fire, and it authorizes, among other things, co-operation in tree planting and a study to develop stable and equitable forest taxation. Very con- siderable progress has been made under previous legislation in Jjoint fire protection. New Centers of Guidance. “Under the Weeks law the Federal Government has purchased about two million acres of forest land in the Eastern States as a nucleus of a na- tlonal forest system for the East. Congress has wisely provided for for- est experiment stations in 6 of our 10 or 12 principal forest regions, sta- tions,_ that are_destined: to become centers of knowledge and guidance toward better forest practice. Much valuable work has been done by va- rious ' Government agencies in com- bating forest insects and diseases and in research in many phases of better utilization of timber. “Among private agencies also there has been promising activity. Assc clations of timber owners in many reglong have established fire protec- tion. Here and there private owners have embarked on timber-growing as a profitable investment, and the in- dustries dependent on our forests are taking a keener interest in working out a forest policy. Forestry asso- clations, State forestry departments and forest schools are lending in- valuable ald to the forestry move- ment hese are hopeful signs. Yet we have started too late and are moving <00 slowly to bridge the gap between cut and growth. We must adjust ourselves to an era of reduced per capita consumption. We must hus- band our supplies. Granted that we shall get into effect a big-scale pro- gram of timber-growing, it would be poor business to go to the expense of growing timber if we should persist in losing a large part of the crop by unsatisfactory ways_of manufactur- ing and using it. Between cutting the timber in the woods and finally putting the product to use, n two-thirds of the total volume lost. A third of this loss, it is esti- mated, - can, under present economic conditions and with tried and tested thods, be saved—a yearly ‘saving n®riy as great as all the timber our forests grow each year. Saving tim- ber, it is obvious, ‘will not only re- lduce the amount we must grow, but if started now on an effective scale it will relieve the timber shortage and make less drastic the social and economic readjustments this shortags will force upon us. A tree saved is a ‘tree grown. Examples Are Furanished. “fn the coming struggle for timber, economic survival among the forest iindustries_will depend on economic fitness. FEconomic fitness will be measured by good management an good technical _processes. The: qualities come Yrom research and from training, and the forest in- dustries, to reach a high level of kill, must make a full use of both tools of modern Industrial vrogress. Hitherto the diversity, the geographical isolation, and the small average size of our wood-using in- dustries, coupled with abundance of raw material, have kept them from advancing as rapidly in Improved methods as some of our more highly concentrated industries. But timber shortage will force competition in Dbetter methods. Much is already known of better methods and the time is already here when this nowledge can be profitably em- ployed. Many companies have, in fact, made notable progress in waste reduction and are furnishing ex- amples of what can be done by care- ful management and expert planning. It seems possible that the individuzl industries, by banding together, can overcome their handicaps of isolation and collectively employ mofe experts to work out better processes. “It 18 to consider joint efforts to- ward better forest utilization that this conference has been summoned, It is & movement in which the State and National Governments, the con- dustries, the universities, the con- sumers, and the technical experts should join. The various Govern- ment agencies equipped to help will, I know, be eager to do what they can to forward this undertaking. So vast an enterprise as the forest- using industries must not be allowed to decline for lack of raw materlal. We have abundant soll to produce it We have the energy and the intelli gence to learn to use our forests without waste. This conference ought to lay the foundation of a far-reaching and effective effort for forest thrift. < “We hold the resources of our country as a trust. They ought to be used for the benefit of the present generation, but they ought neither to be wasted nor destroyed. The gener- ations to come also have a vested in- terest in them. They ought to be administered for the benefit of the public. No monopoly should be per- mitted which would result in prof- iteering. nor on the other hand should they be indiscriminately stowed upon those who will unwisel. permit them to be dissipated. These great natural resources must be ad- ministered for the general welfare of all the people, both for the present and for the future. There must be both use and restoration. The chief purpose of this conference is to dis- policies which will, in the of private Individuals and of public officers, tend to tht further advancement of this already well defined and securely adopted prin- ciple.” Urke Conservation. Drawing a picture of the rapid de- pletion of the forest reserves of the United States, largely through waste in production and’ manufacturing processes, much of which could be saved by application of waste-saving methods, President Coolidge and heads of two Government depart- ments today urged upon the lumber manufacturers of the Natlon use of strict conservation methods if the country Is to be saved a great tim- ber shortage In future years. Assembled in the auditorium. of the New Natiogal Museum in the opening session of the conference of utilization of forest products. called by the late etary of Agriculture Wallace several months ago, 400 men engaged in lumber production and manufacture heard the President out- line the situation, and other speakers declared that the remedy for the present wastage of timber, which is as much as one-third of the annual cut, lies within the lumber Industry itself. Secretary of Commerce Hoaver of- fered the co-operation of all arms of the Department of Commerce in cut- ting down wastage In the lumber in- dustry and asserted the representa- tives of the industry gathered in the two-day conference have before thent a great responsibility—that of pre- serving for posterity the forest herit- age of their forefathers. He hoped the conference would take the wide View of the problem, and held out the hope that partial elimination of the annual wastage in the industry holds out great hope for future savings. Outlining the purposes of the con- ference, which he said fitted into the broad vision held by Secretary Wal- lace of conserving and handing down unimpalired the great heritage of our natural resources, Acting Sec- retary Howard M. Gore of the Depart. ment of Agriculture said the Clarke- McNary law, providing for better fire protection, Is the’first step toward better forest handling. The confer- ence, he said, marks another impor- tant step in the forest policy of the Department of Agriculture—a fresh and combined attack by all the agencies interested on the problem r’f l"’Onxfll,l"\'[ng }(,)ul' existing supply of mber through more effici e - ods of utilization. S e “Drawn from many diverse and ockupations, the membere ot thie conference have at the present mo- ment a single united interest—ths in- terest of timber saving. As I see it the purpose of this meeting is to per. petuate and give practical expression said. the effectiveness of this conference lies in organized industrial effort. The forest industries, in general, have not developed large concentrated units. They are of relatively small average size. Multiplicity and isola- tion make extremely difficult the problem of reaching all these diverse groups, as well as the great multjtude of large consumers of their product and force the conclusion that joint effort alone offers a solution.” Greeley Addresses Group. From the standpoint of the Ameri- can public, the elimination of waste +has an obvious bearing on extension | of the life of our existing stocks of timber, and hence of all the social and economic benefits derived from an adequate supply of forest products, Willlam B. Greeley, chief of the United States Forestyy Service, de- clared. Alluding to failure of manufactur- ers to utilize their waste lumber prod- ucts, J. Walter Drake, Assistant Sec- retary of Commerce, declared “the wastes of today are the profits of to- morrow,” adding that the conference should teach us to 100k upon the Gog- ernment as an ally with industry. Utilization of the forests alone will [not give permanercy, A. C. Goodyear, president of the Great Southern Lum- ber Co., said. With it must go re- forestation, fire protection and proper tax legislation—together they are the big four of the forest problem. The conference is'an outgrowth of a proposal sponsored by the research section of the Forest Service, at the request of Carlyle P. Winslow, di- rector of the forest products labora- tory at Madison, Wis. He proposed the conference several months ago to the late Secretary Wallace and Chief Forester Greeley. Expert Issued - Warning. In a statement recently issued at {Madison, Mr. Winslow warned that “at the present rate of cutting the supply is being alarmingly depleted, despite the efforts at tree growing and forest fire fighting.” A committee on permanent organi- zation, the only committee to be ap- pointed, was selected by Acting Sec- retary of 'Agriculture Howard M.
