NATIONAL FORESTS.
It does not scorn to be generally
known that the term "Forest Re
serves" is no longer 'lcnal or ofltcml.

European nations that has taken
place within the last year should be
conducive to foreign investments. H
is now possible for us to acquire on
adv.tntageoii terms the ownership or
cor.trol of railroads or public utilities
and industrial enterprises which hith
erto have looked to England and lo
the continent for their financial sup
port. 'Investment a can thus be se.
cured which will give not only profit
able employment to American capital,
but will in' turn powerfully stimulate
. ! interest in the products of our in
dustries. The way nns necn cicarea
for the progressive development of
our trade witn iatm-America upon
a sounder and more secure basis than
ever before. The need for better ma-
for the financing of foreign
i would be idle. It forms a back
log in good years and lean and acts
as a stabilizer to the more important
domestic trade. Co-operative foreign
effort would keep our factories run
ning at 100 per cent of capacity."

It la Caused by the Pressure of Mod
ern H'.sh Power Powder.
The uo of hUth power powder In ri
Ees h:is given rise to a phenomenon
nhkh did Dot exit In black powder
days. This Is known as "whip" mid is
due to the pressure and vibration set
up by the powder. It is coustant with
given loads and Is always In tho same
lirectlon.
Sights are aligued by the manufac
turer to compensate for this whip in
proportion to the powder charge used.
In firing auxiliary cartridges It will of
ten be found that the rifle shoots off
center. As a matter of fact the bullet
from the auxiliary Is traveling in a
true line with the bore, and It is the
sights that are wrong. The lighter
charge of the auxiliary does not pro
duce the usual whip, with the result
that the line in prolongation of the
bore of the ride aloug which the bullet
travels is not the line given by the
alignment of the sights.
Two other ride terms that must not
be confused sre upsettage and key hol
ing. Keyboling is the tendency of the
bullet to turn over in aight. while up
settage is the slight shortening of the
major axis of the bullet due to the
force of the charge. It was peculiar to
black powder fired behind lead bullets
and does not exist to any appreciable
co-operative agreement between the i
fedtral government i.nd the state of
"Washington.
The man who puts the alarm clock
on a chair near the bedside where he
can turn it off in the morning and
go to sleep again is not in control of
himself.
