Bed Is Denied Man
» V/ho Drove 144 Hours
TOPEKA, Kan., Sept. 3.—Too sud
den relaxation of an over-tired body
might result fatally, doctors here de
creed in refusing a bed to Allen A.
Fisher, who recently set a new rec
ord of endurance in automoible driv
ing of 144 hours 39.5 seconds.
Fisher was ordered by a doctor to
discontinue the endurance test when
his heart missed sixteen beats in
one hour and fifteen minutes and his
ipulse was getting low. But, instead
of giving him a nice sofe bed in
which to stretch out his tired and
sore muscles ,doctors ordered him
placed on a board for his first sleep.
The bed, it was explained, would
cause too sudden relaxation, after
the long strain he had been uner,
and hight prov fatal.
Fisher was handcuffed in his car
for more than six days, during
which time he made stops only to
refuel the machine. During the last
* three days of the test he was con
stantly attended by Miss Grace Hun
derfund, a nurse from St. Francis
Hospital.
Fisher first established a world’s
endurance record of 122 hours of
^ driving at Miami, Fla. Harold Lock
wood shattered this record later by
driving for 125 hours. The new rec
w ord made by Fisher probably would
have been greater had it not been
for the insistence of doctors.
Fisher protested, but when he left
the car he was caried on a stretch
er to an ambulance, which took him
to the Reid Hotel for his rest.

PAPER CONSUMPTION IN
UNITED STATES GREATER
THAN COMBINED NATIONS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 4.—
Consumption of [paper in the Unit
ed States, amounting to more than
8,000,000 tons a year ,is greater than
that of all other nations combined,
and on a per capita basis twice that
of Great Britain ,but despite ample
resources in this country ,says the
forest service of the department of
agriculture ,more than half of its
supply is imported.
In a comprehensive survey of pulp
wood requirements, the first ever
made on a nationwide scale, the
of rest service which was assisted in
the work by the Aerican Papaer
and Pulp Wood association, declares
that the United States can produce
its own supplies by cultivating tim
ber crops, utilizing timber species
not in general use, and increasing
efficiency in production.
Nearly four-fifths of the timber
used for pulp wood, says the report,
is spruce, fir or hemlock, although
the Pacific coast states, Alaska and
thesouth, “contain ample quantities
of timber suitable for pulp wood
which will meet our immediate
needs,” for future needs ,the service
adds it would be necessary to cul
tivate only a relatively small part
of the 470,000,000 acres of forest
lands availaleb having a “higher
potential productivity than that of
any rauly and paper country in the
world.”
