2. Urging the federal government to
decrease waste of paper In govern
nuMital departments.
:i. An indorsement of the Underwood

wood pulp from Canada.
The convention alao went on record ad

TO V. S. IN UEFISINU PULP

in refusing to ship wood pulp Into the

before delegates to the American Lum
ber congress.
Much of today's' session of the con

tion has Increased from three pounds j
per capita In 1880. to 35 pounds in 19'JO. 1
The sentiment among the lumbermen I

is doing?
Tenants in the court apartments
here in which Senator McNary Is
interested together with George Rod
gers, are inclined to the belief that
It does not.
An increase In the rents of the Court
apartments announced this week to be
come effective May 1 is being protested
in a complaint signed by practically
every tenant In the building, copies of
which Aill be sent to both Senator Mc
Nary and Kodgers. The recent rise. It
is said, makes the third within a period
of only a few months, aggregating an j
increase or approximately 45 per cent
on th rents of the smaller apartments
and approximately 49 per cent on the
rents of the larger apartments.
Inasmuch as Senator McNary has
taken such a decided stand against prof
iteering and has so actively identified
himself in the campaign to bring prof
iteers to Justice, his tenants here are
hopeful of relief once the rent situa
tion here is called to his attention.

last year, who is now doing Y. W. C.

is in terrible turmoil internaPTy.,
"For two weeks here in Naples we had
a railroad, postal and telegraph strike
and it was like being on a desert island,"
she writes. "We could receive no mail
nor send out messages of any kind.
."It is almost impossible to get sugar,
coffee, butter or oil,' even with the tes
sera or order from the city. The flour,
too, of course, is dark. There is no
white bread available.
"The money of Italy is almost worth
less. The lire soared to 20 lire to the
doliar, when it u&ed lo be 7 or 8 lire to
the dollar.
"The university girls." writes Miss
Dinsdale, who says she is very fond of
the Italian girls, "seem much younger
thin our own, while in fact they are
older. They have no initiative and are
very dependent on others for everything
outside their books.

No action on the peace treaty will be
