The resolutions are as follows: "Whereas, the experiment made by the Uaited 8tates government, H !s show a by the various bulletins from the bureau of forestry, as well as the eipsrlpoti nf Individuals, and the prsctical results obtained. by the large number of operators, It appears that the nee of cups In the gathering of crude gum yields much larger results in quantity of spirits of turpentine produced, and a very great increase of the grades of rosin, as compared with the old system of boxing, aad "Whereas, it appears that the use of cups is to the Interest of producer and facto* tending to Increase and perpetuate the life of an Industry in which we are engaged, and to the general good and upbuilding of whlc& we pledge our hearty support; "Therefore, be it resolved, that we, the members of the executive com mittee of the Consolidate^* Naval mkten Company, pledge ourselves to use every influence at our respective commands toward bringing about as near as possible the universal use of cups as against box eft in the produc tion of naval stores. "Resolved further that we now de clare It tQj be the policy of the Con solidated Naval Stores Company to look with disfavor on the boxing of any timber for turpentine purposes in whjch the Consolidated Naval Stores Company owns any interest" The Department of Agriculture has established, by mesns of experiments, that the cup and gutter system of de riving: naval stores (1) yields SO per cent, more product than the ancient method; (2) that It does not weaken the treea so physically that they are In danger of being wind thrown^ and <8 ) leaven the Ifffiber fh tfivfftltr' IWTWE METHODS. . - ? ?n re Introduce The Apron ; in The Southern States. ? r? 1 )?f?l condition because It lvas not been se verely Injured by bo* cutting.

Today the center is in Flor ida. Experience of the last half cen tury has shown clearly in the case 6t Virginia, the Carolines, and Georgia, that so wasteful and severely injur ious a system of turpentining as the ancient box method results in ex bausting4lie producing forest at such i rlod as to preclude all possibility of a permanent production of naval stores under that system In any giv en region. \Jnder so short-sighted a ?policy and system, continuanee-of the industry Is clearly a question, not of I establishing permanent production throughout the regularly maintained forest country, as In the case of wfceat and other staple products which be-1 come fixed resources of certain sec tions, but of how lotlg the United States as a whole #111 continue to pro- 1 duce naval stores.

Conqueror and vanquished. Louis- Paulhan and Gra ham White, are the heroes of Lon don today. The dare-devil French man, at a luncheon at the Hotel ?a ?oy. received the I50.909 prise do nated by Lord Northcllffe, which he won by hU treat 186-mile flight from London to Manchester. White at the same time received' the hupderd guin ea ($5X6) cop donated as a consola tion prise because of his magnificent attempts to wrest victory from de feat. Both men on their appearance on the streets today were given ova tions that a Caesar might envy. Without disparagement for Paul han It Is declared that White's at tempt to overtake him and the Eng lishman's courageous flight In the dark from Roado. where he had been forced to descend, are fit to raqk with Paulhan's own most dating feat ? tfcre ascent of nearly 6,000 feet at iWj Angeles, lsst January. The love that England holds fori White Is proven by the rapid growth of the public subscription opened for him by the aero club. The fund will 1 go for tho purchase of another con-j eolation testimonial. Louis Paulhan. who but a few years ago was a penniless clown In a little provincial Frepch show, half circus, half vaudeville ? today ap peared before a gathering of the fore most sportsmen and^aclentists as the man who had accomplished the most daring flight In the history of avia tion. Interest In the flight is scarcely 1?*? keeh In scientific circles than among the public, as the belief has been general that his" report of the long flight with air currents would prove of Inestimable value In leading to thorough study of the hardest problems of the' new science. At the mordent that he received the reward of hl| magnificat flight, it be-. eanie~ known today that Paulhan la soon to attempt a trip even more ha ^ zardous than the Manchester voyage. His ambition Is to fly from Paris to London. The Frenchman has figured on the | course and decided that the 260 mile | trip can be made In eight hours, al lowlag a two hour rest at hia only halting place, Bologne, where the fuel would be replenished. Besides this flight, the crossing of the channel by Louis Bleriot would drop into com parative Inalgnlflcance. that 22 mile Journey then being remarkable only for it# priority. . , In this Paris to London journey Paulhan would be striving lor no prise save that of tlpe honor. The Hotel Savoy today was deluged with telegrams, not only from all over England, but from the continent. Scores were received from Franca, aviators, scientists and friends of Paulhan sending congratulations to be read at the luncheon tomorrow. Many referred to White, praising his pluck.
