Washington, Nov. 19. The much talked of inventory of the nation's re sources is now practically completed. To consider the material it has brought together the national conservation com mission has just announced its first full meeting for Tuesday, Dec. 1, in Washington. At that meeting the first steps will be taken toward putting into tangible shape the results of the six months' hard work on taking stock of the country's waters, forests, lands, and minerals. One week later, after the commls sion ha eone over the inventory, it will hold a joint meeting in Washin ton with the governors of the states and territories, or their representa tives. At this meeting the inventory will be further discussed and the re port which the president has request ed the commission to make to bim by Jan. 1, will be formulated. Gather Many Fart. With less than six months in which to make the inventory, the four branch es into which the commission is divld ed, aided by the cooperation of the government departments, have brought together what is probably the most useful collection of facts about the material things on which national in dustry and progress are based that has ever been assembled at one time. Re ports presenting these facts and point ing out their significance have been prepared. These reports, summarized and indexed, will be submitted to the commission at its coming meeting. All through the summer general in terest in the work and object of the conservation commission has been growing. The public is now well post ed on a subject of which only a few specialists had knowledge at the time of the conference of governors and ex perts at the White house in May. Governor Allied Mm-h. The governors carried the spirit of the conference home with them to their own people, and have kept things moving ever since by apiointing state commissions to study local problems, by writing and speaking upon the sub ject of conservation, and by keeping in close and helpful touch with the national commission. They are ready to take part in the approaching joint meeting. The bare announcement that it has been set for Dec. 8 resulted in a number of acceptances before the formal invitation of the commission had even got into the mails. When the conservation movement was started, specific information about the actual state of our resources was partly wanting, partly inaccessible. Certain facts were broadly known. It was at least unquestionable that our resources had been wasteful!- used and that some of them, notably the mines, were sure in time to be com pletely exhausted, while others, for ex ample, the forests, could still be kept perpetually useful by right manage ment. The first work was to get the facts, to show exactly what the situa tlon was and how it could be improved by measures that would work. With cut an inventory of the resources which should show the present condi tion of the resources and the way to develop them to the best advantage, conservation was in danger of staying up in the air. Work Xenrljr Done. But the work is now practically done. The fact3 are there, in dollars MRS. HOWARD GOULD TO GET $25,000 ALIMONY Court Desides She Ought to Get Along Comfortably on That Amount In stead of $120,000. New York, Nov. 19. Mrs. Howard Gould, who was Katherine Clemmons, the actress, is to have only $25,000 a year alimony by a decision- of Justice Bischoff in the supreme court yester day, who also considers $5,000 a suffi cient allowance for the counsel fee for her lawyer, Clarence J. Shearn. Mrs. Gould asked for $120,000 a year and Mr. Shearn wanted $15,000. The basis of these demands was that How ard Gould's income is in excess of $480,000 a year. Mr. Gould set up that he had been allowing his wife $25,000 a year voluntarily and that he thougnt she ought to be able to get along com fortably on this amount.
