Maiaria is out of date, and yellow fever's pulled its freight, the hockworm'’s graft is,done; the savants point with honest pride to fell diseases that have died, to tri- umphs nobly won. Tuberculosis soon must yield to stern explorers in the fleld, to scientists of worth; and bar- ber's itch and housemald’s knee their melancholy weird must dree and perish from the earth. But one disease still holds the fort in hut and mansion, camp and court, unhindered, unimpressed, by all the microbe hunter’s tricks; its countless victims cross the Styx to gain a well earned rest. It takes all pleasure from the lives of weeping legions and their wives, it tortures human Kknees; and Science says, while drilling by, “When I've no other fish to fry I'll conquer that disease. Just now I'm making league-long jumps to throw the har- in the mumps, to find a bunion : until these chores are done, gee the sufferers from rheumatiz must suffer and endure,” Through all the ages this disease has prodded, as with snickersnees, men’s ligaments and the their brz million burned holes through their shoes. It's filled the world with aching grief, and Science offers no relief that's worth a tinker's hoot; “Just wait,” she says, ‘“until I'm through with germs_that cause the Spanish flu, then rheumatiz must scoot.” All other ailments must be slain before this carnival of pain abol- ished is for good; the sufferers must wail and weep until, worn out, they 0 to sleep in overcoats of wood. WALT MASON. l('opvnfl\l 1926.) {LUMBER INDUSTRY REPORTS INCREASE Hardwood and Softwood Mills All Indicate Satisfactory Trend. Reports_recelved by the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Assoclation here, covering the activities of 376 of the principal softwood and 137 of the chief hardwood lumber mills of the country, indicate a satisfactory cur- rent trend in the lumber industry. In comparison with reports for the previ- week, production and new busi- ss appear to be about the same, al- lowing for difference in number of re- porting mills, with a slight increase in shipments. When compared with re- ports for the same period of 1925, there was little or no change. The hardwood operations show ap- parent increases in production, ship- ments and new business, but the num- ber of mills reporting this week is larger than last. The unfilled orders of 233 Southern pine and West Coast mills at the end of last week amounted to 639,171,767 feet, as against 635,077,591 feet for 232 mills the previous woek. The 124 identical Southern pine mills in the group showed unfllled orders of 243, 103,432 feet last week, as against 251 105,984 feet for the week before. For the 109 West Coast mills the unfilled orders were 396,068,335 feet, as agalnst - | 883,971,607 feet for 108 mills the week before, Altogether, the 363 comparably re- porting softwood mills had shipment 97 per cent and orders 96 per cent of actual production. For the Southern pine mills these percentages were, re- spectively, 106 and 94, and for the West Coast mills 88 and 96 per cent. Of the reporting mills, the 333 with an established normal production for the week of 227,545,029 feet gave ac- THE EVENING STAR, VWASI.IINGTON. D.
