saving the forests for the future a recent editorial in american forests criticized tas removal of part of the restrictions on the impor tation of canadian lumber on the ground that it would discourage tie growth of timber within the united states as ardent advocates of sound conservation policies we cannot feel that a direct relation between tnese two things actually exists some of the american lumber companies have suffered from low prices for their pro ducts naturally they do not care to gee foreign lumber admitted to com pete with their own products this however i3 a problem of the moment the growing of trees for future liar vesting does not become an economic problem until the trees aro ready fo- ue market which means a genera tion or two hence so one has yet ef fectively proved that rorestoion is not desirable and does not promise to be economically profitable when the trees ripen the facts are so siinpe that they speak for themselves the united slates is the largest single consumer or wood and lunvei in the world the lumber companies nave rupidly de pleted their private holdinrs of lum ber in many cases they have created low prices by excessive cutting in the meantime the area of gece timber lias teadily decreased much of the laud in the national forests is private ly owned and can ho cut at vvii anil much of the land in the state forests has already been cut over in parts of the west rmrcrtant stands of vit- gin timber belong to tie fodoal gov eminent a few scattering stands of good timber are found east of the rockies hut east ami west the forests have been stripped ruthlessly there has been no attempt to harvest ham lta- tlier has everything been cut and slashed and often afterward turned over the result as lias been clearly pointed out in letters printed recently about conditions in northern michi gan is appalling waste and destruct ion soils that are not fit im- anything but the growth of forests are denuded of trees and subjected to erosion wild life is driven out what might have been a source or permanent wealth to the nation becomes a direct liability donald ii cotton writing last jfa- vember made the plea that the fe- j deral government acquire the remain- j ing tracts of uncut land notably the fine stand of hardwood timber in gogebic and ontanogan counties in michigan he advocated acquiring land of this sort instead of buying cut over lands the obvious difficulty is the expense but it is altogether prob able that more money spent in buy ing good timber stands in the long run would be of greater benefit to the nation than the present sums that are spent in acquiring used lands there is still much to bo done in developing a sound forestry policy in this country the national forest service has made important strides the states have added to their forest lands private owners have been en couraged to plant trees to lay eon tiervationists it would seem advanta geous o the present conservation movement if for a time at least americas lumber and pulp supplies might come in larger proportions from foreign countries only if the prices of these imports were to be so much lower than american prices that they would stimulate fresh cutthroat competition and mass rutting in am van fores lands would the effect he had the osseuiiul iviltig is to preserve our existing forests so that they may ho wisely harvested in coming gener ations the more stands of good tim ber can be saved from present ruth less cutting the better whether they be in michigan or elsewhere in the united states as every day living a weekly

before me now from a young college girl and it raises a problem which has all the marks of the eternal triangle about it the sort of problem which provides good working capital for novelists and story writers without actually quoting from the letter let me state briefly the prob lem apparently there is a young man from the same town as my cor respondent who is a student at the samo college ho comes from a very respectable family he is keeping company with another girl student in the college who has confided to my correspondent an incident in her life which belongs to tho past the com panionship between this other girl and the young man seems to rile i think that is the most appropriate word my correspondent she writes mo asking me if i would advise her to tell the young man what the other girl has confided to her and adds i somehow feel it is my duty to tell him i often wonder how many souls have been irreparably damaged by others who have excused their con duct and appeased their consciences by trying to persuade themselves and others that it was all done in the sa cred name of duty again and again i have to try and get correspondents to see what duty really is it seems to me to be summer up in those words of malachi written so long ago what doth the lord require of thee but to do justly and o love mercy and to walk humbly with thy god if that does not sum up ones duly then what does but come back to my correspond ents problem what is the true mo tive that is prompting her to tell has she herself got a boy friend has she an eye on this young man herself these are items concerning which her letter is silent it may be that if she will sit down quietly and consider this whole matter she will discover that perhaps unconsciously the mo tive prompting her to tell emanates from this direction the trouble with us is that we so often confuse duty with a petty des ire to gain some end of our own and an essentially selfish end it so often happens to be we need to carefully examine tho inner motives which- prompt us to do tilings before we act we need to be sure that what we pro pose to do is right if it is not right then it cannot be our duty and no thing can ever be right which inevi tably works harm for another per son 1 would like to put one or two ques tions to my correspondent would she ike to havo her own past recalled in detail how would she feel if some one betrayed her confidences has she considered what the young mans reaction would be if he is an honor able young man and she seems to think that he is then his reaction would probably be to regard her with scorn for having betrayed a confid ence look squarely at this thing one person regards another person as a friend because of the friendship a confidence is given but the one to whom it is given betrays it wiiat is she or lie a traitor i am quite sure no young lady would like to be known as such take another point of view has tho young lady with ihe past incident in her life nothing worth while in her makeup to commend her surely she has why everybody lias there is good even in the worst if we try to find it then if there are good points in a persons character why talk as though one indiscretion probably it was only a trifling matter after all- were all that there is to that persons i the remarkable romance of an industrial dictator velvet and steel by pearl bellairs vhopsis joan lenby of humble origin is in iroduced as a social equal ot mls gtorglna la fontaine rather than her secretary she meets 1iers hannen millionaire who forces his attentions on her lord edwards proposes to joan joan leaves miss la fontaine to be come a mannequin at the salon celesie piers hannen takes joan and her family for a cruise aboard his yacht indifference it isnt indifference to dislike a person heartily but now i feel that ive treated iiim badly i hadnt really any justifica tion for showing my dislike so much because after all lie isnt so bad is he he would never do anything wrong or ungenerous i do feel that and that i was unjust and so the though of him worries me and i cant help wishing that id never met him a very reasonable explanation said miss la fontaine drily and her remark concluded the conversation joan had the navy ball to look forward to when she went away and she did look forward to it with genu ine pleasure for it was a long time since she had been to a dance she had a fortnight to wait and more than once she wondered whe ther piers hannen might be there she pictured herself explaining to him how he had misunderstood her about al brooks and conveying by a few tactful words that she was sorry for her past treatment of him up to a point it was to be a very sisterly confession of regret and he was to take it as such quietly and witli humiliation on both sides they would part as friends ami as friends they would remain only he must not on any account renew his per secution and ifien she was sure there might be kindness both sides but on the morning of the day pre ceding the navy ball something hap pened which shattered all her mod erate intentions a note arrived for her at the salon celeste asking miss joan denbv to be so good as to call at the head office of tho hannen iron and steel manufactory co in leadenhall street at onethirty that day at the request of mr p h hannen the note was signed by a secretary joan was astonished disturbed and annoyed all her kind intentions staggered under the shock of being coolly requested to go to see piers hannen at his office it might be a mistake perhaps and yet it seemed very odd when he had so often had difficulty in persuading her to allow him to take her anywhere to order her to go and see him half of her insisted that there was nothing unnatural in this proceed ing the other half was uneasy with a sense of illomen the power of this curt invitation was too con scious to be ignored what on earth did it mean she was worried and so she went at one oclock she set off for lead

life why not emphasise the good in stead of the bad but then folks who feel like my correspondent are likely to try and justify themselves and they usually come back with the question but mustnt i tell the truth why of course we should all tell the truth but we can at least wait until we are asked for information and even then wo can be discreet and use common sense and at the same time be truth ful long ago tho wise man wrote in his proverbs there is a time to speak and there is a time to keep si lence i think this young lady should keep silent you recall that poom worth while by ella wheeler wilcox it is easy enough to be prudent when nothing tempts you to stray when without or within no voice of sin is luring your soul away but its only a negative virtue until it is tried by fire and tho life that is worth the honor on earth is tho one that resists tiie desire for the one indiscretion that we know ot in a persons life we do not know how often they have struggled against temptation and resisted it to overcoming if we did wo would be more prone to admire than to con demn let us try to keep that in our mind and remember that the busi ness of every man and woman is to discover the purpose behind his or her lire and by quiet honest perser verance to try to achieve that pur pose only by so doing can we con tribute our best to the good of the whole why waste time

tended far outside the iron and steel industry she felt so lost and insignificant under the domed roof standing on a sea of shining parquet where clerks typists busi ness men and porters hurried to and fro about their work she handed her note to one of the porters who showed her into an anteroom she sat there for ten minutes after which the porter came back told her that mr han nen would see her now and escort- her up three floors in a lift he showed her into a palatial of fice where three typists were tap ping away on machines a neatly dressed competent looking woman secretary took charge of her and showed her into an inner room joan went in facing her behind a magnificent walnut desk sat piers hannen the secretary closed the door behind her while hannen rose and without a smile or a word of greeting said please sit down thoroughly ill at ease by now joan was glad to sink into the jhair which he indicated facing the desk his unsmiling attitude his formality here in this great office where his word was law and where everything was silent and velvet footed witli respect for his power overawed her she wondered what he wanted and it did not add to her confidence when he sat down again and went on writing as though she had not been there she gazed at the short curl ing ruddy air on the top of his head as he bent over his papers with in creasing discomfort and annoyance suddenly lie threw down his pen sat back and looked at her well said joan with a differ ent smile and then she saw bow changed he was his face was paler set in hard er lines and the cruelty which she had so often fancied in it was there in dreadful reality now he did not smile there was no smile in him not even his eyes and these had a tired cynical look which made her think at once of lydia lydia
