Offers Co-operation in Making National Forests Available fjfr Wood Pulp Suggests Hydro-Electric Resources. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leaed Wire. Washington, May 9. Secretary of Agricultures-Meredith is convinced that there Is a large opportunity for the development of agriculture to assist in the economic upbuilding of Alaska. As one maiis to this end he-is callingattention to the favor able situation for the establishment ot paper mills in the territory and offering co-operation, by making available national forest pulp wood on terms that will provide a satis factory operating basis. The secretary believes that the de velopment of the forest and (hydro electric resources of Alaska is a practicable means of increasing the supplies of newsprint available for the use of the United States and thereby eventually lessening the paper shortage, now so acute. The national forests of Alaska probably cr.ntain 100,000.000 cords of timber suitable for the manufacture of newsprint and, other grades of paper. Under careful management thesrt forests can produce 2,000,000 .cords of pulp wood annually, or enough to manufacture one-half of the yulp products now consumed in the Uniteu States. . . Waterpower Available. The Alaskan forests, according to Secretary Meredith, also contain the second chief essential of paper man ufacturing industry water power. While no accurate survey of wateV i power lias been known, known proj ects have a possible development of 1 00,000 horsepower and th depart ment estimates that a complete ex- plftration of the national, forests in southern Alaska will increase their potential power to a quarter of a million. According to the secretary, the diief drawbacks which have prevent ed papcrmaking in Alaska hitherto have been the large investments re quired for new plants, inaccessibil ity and lack of development in Alas ka, and the transportation charges to consuming regions fn the central i and eastern states. The secretary I , expresses trie belief; however, that these obstacles are more than off sTby the present acute demand and hjgh prices for all grades of papery 'and that the near future should wit ness a movement of the pape in dustry into southeastern Alaska. 1 "Second Norway." "Alaska," said Secretary Meredith, "is destined to become a second Norway. With its enomic.fore its of rabidly growing species suitable for pulp, her water power, and her , tiilhwater shipment of manufactured products, ' Alaska will undoubtedly become one of the principal paper sourcer of the United States. A substantial development of the pa per industry in this wonderful region, combined with the intelli gent sreforestration of pulp lands in "the older regions, should settle forever the question of a paper shortage in the United States." Within the last 10 years,- he points out, the forest service has brought about the sale of 420,000,000 feet of saw timber in the yiational forests of Alaska. A number of areas, suit- able for pulp operations have been cruised and prepared for sale and during the coming summer the stir- vey of pulp woods will be extended in -order that other desirable tracts may be brought to the attention of i manufacturers. U. Sv Military Academy Sharply Criticised by Dr. Charles W. Eliot T Boston, May 9. The United States military academy was criti cised today by Charle W. Elict, president-emeritus of Harvard, in a ietter to Brig. Gen. John W. Ruck man, United States army command- - ' er of the north Atlantic 'coast ar tillery district. General Ruckman had written Dr. Eliot to ascertain whether" certain comments on West 1 Point teaching, which he was rp- ported as having made in an ad dress before the Harvard Teachers' association, were correct. In the ' published report of his " remarks, Dn Eliot was quoted as saying: "I hope we shall never take our example for public school ad ministration from West Point. It is a good example of just .what an educational institution should not V v be. "jGm "This was shown by the ineff;- in the war. Dr. Eliot replied to General Ruck man that this quotation, while not - in his exact words, was substai tially correct. Hunger Strikers Released. l Cork. Mav 9.

Sketches from Life 1L By Temple Campaign of" 1920 POST CHARGES REPORT TO RULES BODY WAS UNFAIR Declares House Committee Had Not Been Furnished With Real Evidence in Deportation Cases. Chlcas-o Tribune-Omaha Bee Leaned Wire, .Washington, May 9. Pre-judg ment of his guilt, the withholding of exculpating evrdence and a pro paganda of newspaper, persecution were some of the charges made to day before the house rules commit tee by Louis F. Post, assistant sec retary of labor, in defending his action in releasing alleged annar- chists and of defeating the purposes of the deportation laws. The assistant secretary j is being heard by the committee in connec tion with consideration of the Hoch resolution for his impeachment, v Starting out with the charge that the house immigration committee, which submitted a report on his case to the rules committee had bee unfair, Mr. Post said: "The rules committee has not been , furnished with the real evi dence in these cases. There has been, a withholding of evidence and the putting into a record of extraneousj matter which is unfair' to me and unfair to the rules committee." He asserted that theNimmigration committee .went to the immigration bureau, of the Department of Labor and either secured or copied memor anda there which have no legal stat es. He scored Commissioner Gen eral Caminetti for permitting the house immigration committee t-j have the memoranda because Cam inetti "had no more right than an office boy to let them go 'out of his offices." He said that Caminetti is custodian of such papers and a sort of "sheriff" for the assistant secretary of labor, who has charge of immigration matters.

Back in the midd ages bakers' were not kept rigidly under the eye of the law, because it was con sidered that their business was one on which the health and pros perity of the public depended in large measure. Duriga the reign of King John, the forerunners of the modern "fair price commit tees" regulated the profits of the bakers and Edward II. promul gated rigid laws covering in fringements of - the regulations covering weight and quality ot bread. ' '' - f It was because of these rules and penalties that there sprang up the custom of givingxan ex tra loaf, known as the "in-bread" or the "vantage loaf,1 to all per sons who purchased a .dozen pieces o bread. 1 Scotland, the number was increased to fourteen and the custom is still followed m many places. When Hendrili -Hudson made his voyage of discovery in 1610, he gave the name of "Baker's Dozen" to the thirteen or fourteen islands on the east shore of Hud son bay and D'Anville's French atlas, published some years later, labels them with the French equivalent, "La Douzaino de Boit langer."

"I think, dear St. Nicholas, they are very good children," said Vrouw Vfdder. - . "Then I will leave these for them and carry the rod along to s"ome bad little boy and girl, if I find one," said St. Nicholas. "There seem to be very few about here. I haven't left a single rod yet." And he handed one big package to Wt and another to Kat. "Thank you," said Kit and Kat. St. Nicholas smiledvat them and waved his hand. Then the door shut and he was gone! r , Kit and Kat dropped on their knees to pick up the cakes and candies. They passed the cakes and candies around to each one. Vrduw Veddcr lighted the candles and then they all gathered around to see Kit and Kat open their bundles. "You open yours first," said Vrouw Vedder to Kat. Kat was so excited that she could hardly untie the string. When she got the bundle open there was a beautiful new Sunday dress rhuch prettier than the torn one had ever been! Oh, how pleased Kat was! She hugged her mother and her grandmdther and her father and he: grandfather. "I just wish I could hug dear St. Nicholas, too," she said. Then Kit opened his bundle, and there was a beautiful new velvetecrii suit with his very own silver buttons on it! It had pockets in it! He put his hand in one pocket. It had a penny in it! Then he put his harids in the other pocket. There was an other penny! . ' ' "I'm going to see if there's a pocket in mine," said Kat. She hunted and hunted and hunted.- By and by she found a pocket. And sure enough, there was a penny in that, tool , Then some presents came from somewhere for Father and Mother Vedder and for Grandfather and Grandmother Winkle; and such a -time as they all had opening the bundles and showing their presents! Then Mother Vedder tried on Kit's suit and Kat's dress to see if they were the right stze. They were just right exactly.. "St. Nicholas even knows how big we are," said Kat. "Oh, I wish St. Nicholas day would last a week," said Kit. "That reminds me," said Vrouw Vedder, and she looked at the clock. "Half-past 10, and these children still up I Bless my heart, this will never do! Come here, Kit and Kat, and let me undo your buttons!" "May we take our new clothes' to be'd with us?" Kat asked. "Yes, just this once," said 'Mother VcddeV, "because this is St. Nicholas night." ,They kissed theirtrandfather and grandmother goodnight, and their mother and father, and said their prayers lik good children, and then they climbed up into their little cup board bed and Vrouw 'Vedder drew the curtains so they would go to sleep sooner, v i "Goodnight,, dear little twins," she aid.
