DRAW ON AFRICAN FORESTS Plan on Foot to Increase World's Sup ply of Wood From That Soured Going Forward. ' A reinforcement for tho world de mand for lumber Is preparing In Brit ish East Africa, whero thcro nro be tween 2,000,000 nnd 3,000,000 ncres 6t woodland to draw upon, nnd n now In dustry, very lnfantllo at present, Is ex pected to grow so rapidly that tho gov ernment Is now considering plans to Improve the harbor facilities for ex porting tho forests. Tho best wood Is sultnblo for wheel makers and wagon builders nnd the making of wood block paving, rnllwny sleepers, bridges, ox yokes, and ax, pick nnd tool hnndlcs. It nlso makes good flooring nnd lining bonrds. Tho builder, however, must needs bo of n patient disposition If ho postpones building until theso British East African woods arc available. Menntlmo thcro nre new sounds In some of tho African forests, tho rhythm of tho woodsman's ax, the buzz of tho sawmill, and tho pulling of un dersized locomotives on the narrow gauge tracks that aro penetrating from tho mnln lino of railway Into tho woodlands. And many n workman, no doubt, will some day work with tools whoso hnndlcs grow In an African forest Ancient Chinese Art Attention hns been called to u not able addition to tho treasures of the British museum, In tho shape of a colossal Chinese figure In wood.

It Is pointed out by ii writer In the Burlington Mngn zlne of Art that In Cleveland, 0., a competent scholar In connection with the museum Is sent to China to study the art and collect sultnblo art treas ures on Its behnlf. I Loving Plotters x By GENEVIEVE ULMAR j (, 1J0, Weltern Newpapr I'nkm ) Tho mother of Morton Dale entered his olllce, peered Into his prlvnto room, found It vncnnt and turned her gaze upon his stenographer, Irene Blnndon, with some wonderment. Tho latter, a handkerchief to her eyes nnd sobbing low, hnd not noticed her appearance. Tho sheet, of pnper on her typewriter bore evidence of tears. "Why, Miss Blnndon!" spoke the vis itor gently, "whntover Is tho trouble? You are crying." Irene lifted n woeful face to the lady. "I couldn't help It," she spoke, "l'ou must know how things nre here nnd I nm so sorry for Mr. Dale." "Perhaps I do not entirely know how things are here, dear," said Mrs. Dale. "Of course Morton hns told mo of his misfortune In trusting a client with half his capital and tho man In vesting It unfortunately and no chance of recovering It. But Morton is young, bright nnd honorable, the world Is all beforo him and It hns greatly distress ed inc to sec bow hard he has taken It" "Mr. Dale was under n severe strain beforo that came," announced Irene. "Ho put through a very creditable deal and counted on expanding Lis busi ness when this loss came nlong. Oh, Mrs. Dale I can you not Induce him to seek nnd find what alone can savo him an entire abandonment of busi ness cares for u spell? IIo Is not 111, but mentully depressed. He has lost his nerve, as the men on 'change say, and ho gets gloomier nnd more dis couraged every day. Perhaps you won der nt my feeling over him, but I came to tho city knowing nobody nnd If I wero his own sister ho could not hnvo been moro kind nd helpful to me. Every time I write to the fnmlly at home, I nm Buro they bless him for the Interest ho hns taken In mo nnd tho good position he has given me." "l'ou nre n sw Mrs. Dnle. her own eves dimming.

The Japanese edible bamboo has been successfully Introduced Into tho southern portion of tho United Stnte3 by tho department of agriculture. Sev eral plantations arc now established in Georgia and Louisiana. Populnrlzn tlon of tho bamboo will furnish lnrgo home-grown supplies of this useful timber required by our manufacturing Industries. The giant grass grows a foot n day, and Its 50-foot stall: Is well adapted for making frames, fuml turc, ladders, trellises and barrel hoops.

The sincerity nnd earnestness of the young girl clmnned tho anxious moth er. From tho suggestion Ireno made grew dellnlto plans. Morton Dale ugreed to them, though with little In terest In them, It seemed, nnd one any left for 11 month's vacation at Holly wood farm. It wns not until he got nwny from the turmoil and grlmo of the city nnd tho train glided along pnst fresh vernal scenes and the flow er perfumed air cnine 111 reviving ui tho open car window, that his perturb- d mind began to calm down, in n gentle, politic way those two loving plotters hnd spent u week In winning him to their suggestion. Now, feeling how reliably Irene would attend to his Interests nnd recalling that she was sacrificing her own vncatlon visit to the folks at homo for his sake, 11 ten der gratitude expanded his soul, tem porarily clouded by bis own selllsh ana exaggerated worries. "Sho Is like' my mother nil gold!" Morton told himself, nnd when he ur- lved nt Wnlthnm ho soon decided that there wero others, too, of the home spun, but heartsoiue Blnndon family who were ellglbles to bo quoted in tno same precious metal category. 'Irene's two sisters wero In evidence occupying n sent in the roomy old sitting room, pictures of health and lolllness. Tho brother, a big-hearted fellow, always Joking nnd laughing, balled Morton ns 11 bosom friend. When they reached the pleasant old- faslilnned farmhouse Mrs. Blnndon welcomed their guest ns nn own son. The guest partook of tho most enjoy- nblo nicul of weeks and slept wltlra smllo on bis llns. ns through his a Must Have Been to Movie Sho.w.
