W. 1 i hii'i, I'ai'oina, man It get td the Werr lute user tim ber company laiul dtpartmenl, oiul Edward P. Sltinun, IokkiiiK manager of tho Crown Zelter bitch corporation, also were on the mornmtf program. Dr C. Curian, chief of the pulp and paper division of tho forest product laboratory, for est service, U. S. department of uurtculture, believes Doujjlus fir, the predominate wood of the J'aclfic northwest, ii destined to become one of the nuttou most Important sources of pulp In the near future. JIc made this observation up on hu arrival here r the full convention of the technical as Hoctution of tho pulp and pupcr industry. Dr. Curran'i division recently devised a process for the pulp n of Douulai lir lie also said thut vast ex panses of second iCiowlh limber and hardwood, which r crowd ing out softwoods in many cut over sections, will ultimately supply the pulp and paper in terests of the Pacific northwest. The local supply, he suid, of such wood for such purposes Is prac tically unllmitnble. Tho forest products labora tory discovered that Doulus fir preferably trees of not more than hundred tur.t of ukc could be made available for pa per and pulp if chipped into mall pieces and rubjecled to a somewhat different, 6omewhal more costly chemical proce&s. He said "1 believe the higher chemical cost of preparing Doug las fir Is offset by the compara tively lower price of this wood." 1 Willi ho much leisure lime on their hand during thr vacation period, cli i Id ten find outlet for (heir pent up energies through destructive play," says Mrs. Kthel Wilson, county juvenile officer, in her current monthly report. "There have been many Villi from hurr.'iHsed home own ers for protect i oi i from dtv.truc live children, which require im mediate attention. More m-x problems have been brought to I the attention of this office than ever before, especial ly tit norm young children. These prob lems ciiii only be met and (wel come by the cooperation of the ! families and the neighborhood. j Children need constant supervis- ! ion, and their play directed In tin' right channels. lieemise of tin' extremely lunh case load and the emergent need for set tling some problems immcdiale- ly, thero is little time for con- ! struct l ve work with children who sorely need it. "July was an extremely hm.y month with a total case load of 1 2-2 ( M tho; total number, 71! . were delinquent children, 22 He pendent ihildn n, 2H predelin quent, and 20 miscellaneous ciiM-s Two children were plac et I in the l-'auA lew home, an' I one gnl was committed lo t in case of the J'aeiflf I'lOtcctlNC society.

There were il5 new line, repotted, one case re-oprned, and 13 cases closed, leaving a total of 227 open uisrii at end of inoiilh. "Six juveniles were h' Id in the county jail a total of 14 days One of these was a 1-1 year-old girl, who was placed there for ber own protection. The litw enforcing officers dis like placing children in Jul I, and especially girls, but at limes they aie forced lo do so because then is no other place. We know that the great mujorily of children will remain in their own home while awaiting the solving of their problem, but occasionally it ih necessary to hold them In detention. The community should insist that a place other than the jail be pro vided lor detention of children, and especially for girls arid the younger adolescents- "The. work m the office Is greatly hampered becuu.se o f , luck of assistance. The N.Y.A, I workers have been Invaluable. Since July I fi tho N.Y.A. pro ject has been discontinued, and because of drastic cuts in the professional projects it is doubt ful if wo will have a worker when the projects ore reassign' ed. Because of this lack of help , the office is frequently closed 11 day while worker is in the coun try. There i.-: now no budgetary provision for a permanent work i f. Provision for such an assist ant fihould be made in the bud get nex t year, because without help the efficieney of the office is lessened." merit In a national defense structure, was made at a most opportune time, according to Profossor James T. Hamilton, director of admissions at Reed college. In commenting on the state ment Mr. Hamilton said, "Wc have received numerous inquir ies from students and parents on the probable effect of the military conscription law upon students In college. In view of the uncertainty, the fact that many young men are hesitating to enroll In college is borne out by the relative decrease in the number of men applying for ad mission to Reed this year. Here tofore the number of men ap plying for admission has ex- ! ceeded the number of young women, This year, however, tho reverse is true. I have no doubt thut the presidents as surance and advice to young men to continue the normal course of their education will have the effect upon those who have been undecided." One Day's War Fuel Would Run 3000 Cars for Year FORETHOUGHT BEAUFORT, S. C. 'I', When a rescue party In the recent hurricane found an old negro woman in the ioft of her inun dated cabin with a 150-pound nig In her lap, she explained: "Ah bin t'rouiih de storm of 189:) and me and man family 'most starve to death so dm I time ah uln' mean to starve." If you're an average motorist operating an average car you use 724 gallons of gasoline a year. Hut Europe's mechanized armed forces use about 3000 times this amount In one day's operations, or enough gasoline to operate 3000 American cars for o year. Such Is the revealing data discovered by Albert E. Horn Jr., northwest resident manager' of General Petroleum corpora tion, from reports issued by the American Petroleum institute. "Technologists figure that 2400 bombing airplanes con sume about 28B.000 nallons of motor fuel per hour, and that 1600 pursuit planes consume 160,000 gallons per hour," says the Mobilgas manager. "On the basis of five hours per day in the air, the total daily con sumption of this number of planes exceeds two and a quar ter million gallons. Consump tion by tanks, trucks, armored cars, motorcycles and other wt equipment la believed to be even greater. "This glgintle wr consump tion, besides fast draining the world's oil reserve!, U also a great economic loss, because just the gasoline used In these planes, If consumed in Ameri can cars and taxed at present average rates, would produce more than $120,000 government revenue per day. More than seventy-five per cent of the cross ties annually laid in replacement by the rail roads are now treated with preservatives which triple their life.
