OUR TIMBER IS RUNNING OUT Tacoma, Wash.—Without the fllckei of an eyelash, devoid of all emotion Miss Sadie Offerman attained the gon' she had long sought as she sat In the Superior court here and hea^d her brother, Sam Offerman, branded by a Jury as a thief. It was her great moment, the time she had looked forward to for more than two years, as, according to her own story, she saved a part of her meager earnings In a New York gar ment factory to return to Tacoma and prosecute her brother. Brother and sister more than two years ago were partners In a small garment factory In Tacoma. They quarreled, and Miss Offerman decided to go to New York. She was residing at her brother’s home. After her trunk was packed he took It to the station. When she arrived In the East the trunk. Instead of containing tho clothing and other articles she said she packed In It, was filled with card- hoard, according to her story to the Jury. Making Library Helpful. Presuming that a public library Is so well conducted that Its custodians are able to direct applicants promptly to the volume asked for, the next step for an Ideal Institution would be to advertise the treasures which It holds in trust for all citizens. It would appear that the Newark (N. J.) library has reached the second stage, for It has been distributing circulars telling how the ambitious worker may educate himself by reading, and how the library can help him to find Just the right things to read. Taking a cue from the methods of writers of eye-catching advertisements, the library entitled the circular In large type: “Get Wise Quick.”—Christian Science Monitor. Arabs Long on Handshaking. When frlrtidly Arabs meet their salutation Is almost grotesque, for they shake hands sevgn or eight times, and sometimes repeatedly kiss each other. AW, WH ATS THE USE BRITISH LOSE BILLION Hit Hard by Strike and Boycott in India. Ghandl, Boycott Leader, Consider* Violence Mortal Sin—Hie Punish ment Would Set All India Aflam e. Washington.—How a slender, mild- mannered man of fifty-two, who be lieves violence of any kind a mortal sin, has caused the British government more trouble than any number of revolutionists, was described In an ad dress to the National Popular Govern ment league by Syud Hossian. “The English government knows not what to do with this man, Mahatma Ghandl,” said Hossian. “If they Imprison or execute him It will set India aflame. If they allow his non-violent, non-co-operative move ment of boycotting British goods and everything British to proceed, It will bankrupt them and overturn the ’strategic* center of empire In the Orient “This month Is the first anniver sary of the start of the boycott Insti tuted by Ghandl, and It has already cut down English export trade to 25 per cent of its normal volume, result ing in a cash loss of not less than $1,000,000,000. “If the same success attends the refusal to pay taxes, which began last month. It will mean a loss ut $300,000,000 per year In revenue to the government, which means collapse. John Bull Is being hit in his most vulnerable spot—his pocketbook." Hossian described Ghandl as the most remarkable person he had ever met. He quoted Colonel Wedgewood, a member of parliament, as saying: “Ghandl Is the only man In the world whose name can be mentioned with that of Jesus Christ without blasphemy.” “Although a trained lawyer,” said Hossian, “Ghandl earns his living as a weaver. He worka at his modest home, Is a great reader and student. “Ghandl believes the use of vio lence in any form Is a mortal sin. Physical force he regards as the wea pon, not of the strong, but of the weak. “He thinks the most potent Instru ment for all purposes Is ‘soul force' and the power of self suffering, and does not permit himself an unkind thought, even toward his bitterest ene mies.” SHELL CARRIES MESSAGE one night, following complaint charg ing her with theft of a diamond ring valued at $1,200 last October.

WILD LEMONS IN PROFUSION According to Traveler, They Are a Generoue Gift of Nature to leland of Norfolk. Lemons grow wild all over the Island of Norfolk, a British possession in the South Pacific, according to Thomas J. McMahon, In the Trans-Pacific Maga zine. He writes that In every gurden and paddock are clumps of trees ever bearing fruit In wonderful abundance, and of a variety full of rich Juice and with a rind most suitable for lemon peel. Little factories, family concerns, are dotted all over the Islands. They ar* usually roughly constructed wooden buildings divided Into three rooms. There, with rather primitive Instru ments, the women cut and squeeze the lemons In huge frames, and the skins are soaked in brine preparatory to making lemon peel. During the lemon season, which Is most of the year, the boys and girls are engaged daily In picking the fruit. While there are only 800 people on the Island, It could comfortably and prosperously house 5,000 per sons, according to Mr. McMahon. The Island Is five miles long, three miles broad and contains 8,600 acres.

According to figures supplied by the Doialnion bureau of statistics, losses to the fur Industry of Canada cause«! by the spread of civilization In the North are more than made up by rapid development of the fur fann ing Industry.
