LAcE-BARK Trees ARE FEW
But Half a Dozen Of This Species Now
Exist-Reason for So
Naming.

There are in all about half 6
dozen lace-bark trees in the world
so called because the inner bari
yields a natural lace in a ready
made sheet form, which can bt
made up in serviceable articles Of
apparel. Only four of these curl
Gus species of trees are of much
practical value. Tourists who

able strength and of a fragrant
odor, like freshly cured tobacco
leaf. The native tapa cloth, as il
is called, is made from the bark
of the brusOnetia papirifera, but
it is not usually included among
the real lace-bark trees.
In its natural state the real lace
bark is of a delicate cream-white
tint. 1t is probably a kind Of
flbrOus pith. When the outer bark
is removed it can be unfOlded and
unwound in one seamless piece,
having a surface of a little more
than a square yard. Washing and
sun bleaching give it a dazzling
white appearance. The fabric is
airily light. 1t is used in the West
Indies for mantalas, cravats, col
lars, cuffs, window curtains-in a
word, for every purpose that or.
binary lace is used. In making up
shawls, wells and the like it is Gus.

bark together. Delicate and ap.

mesh, a bit of lace-bark, if rolled
into a thin string, will all but re.

Despite its practical use there
is no essential demand for lace
bark. 1t has been used by the ma
tivesforhundreds of years and yet
is comparatively little known to
this day. A few specimens of lace.

with America.

Our history is hard and mascu.
line; colored with few purple
lights; toolittle related to our ten
derer sentiments and deeper pas
sions. When older peoples have
paused, as we did then, they have
looked upon far different scenes,
says William CARROT Brown, in
the Atlantic. Fairer companies
have stood about more stately
figures of triumph or of tragedy
than that America and the world
now gazed upon. The common
chamber, the gaunt, pale presi-
dent, the strong, bearded counsel
Ors at his bedside-this was I'M
like the scenes which European
peoples have fixed in their mem
cries. Charles /. and Mary Stuart
on their scaffolds, the barOns and
the king at Runnymede, Maria
Theresa appealing to the mobiles
of Hungary to take up their
swords for her child, Marie Antoi-
nette and Mirabeau, and many an
other pageant of human love and
sacrifice are treasured up byOther
people as we have treasured up
this crude, unlackeyed martyr
dom.
Even the great personality of
Lincoln, now potent in so many in
dividual lives, intimate and famil-
lar of so many of our hidden
moods, was not yet fully revealed
to his fellows. 1t was the eman-
cipator only that had fallen, the
leader and shepherd of men. Out
wardly at least his experience was
limited as theirs was. Dying in
III Hllusl OF multltudeS, master OF
armies and of navies, he was still
of the frontier; as, indeed, all our
American life was still, in a sense,
only the frontier and western
fringe of European life.
True, Lincoln also leads us back
to the princes whose peer he was,
but we can pass from his death
bed with no irreverence, no sense
OF shock or change, to look out, in
the plain light of day. upon the
whole wide field of work and strife
and progress which was always in
his thought, and glimpse the atti.

''HAUL ME BACK WHERE

MAN SAID TO POLICE

"That1l do, but hurry up about
it," said the irate Eglin. 81 am
going back to that saloon and am
going to ride or I'll know the rea-
son why the Spokane police
brought an innocent man here. All
l want is to ride back where you
took me from. If you do that, all
will be well. If you pick up a
citizen of the Evergreen state In
the pursuance of his peaceful avo-
cation and then find you've got the
wrong man, why, you've got to put
him back where you got him. If
you do this and he does not feel
hurt at the interruption, you're
lucky. Get out that wagon and
drive me back"
And so the police took Tom Egg
lin, in the patrol wagon, back from
whence they took him, and he once
more resumed his peaceful avoca,

be seen after it had passed through
the cloud 1t created. The dust,
helped by a light wind, was blown
down the street into the faces of
hundreds of citizens. All the germs
on the street were being inhaled
by men, women and children.
The street was not watered at
all. 1t was as dry as the floor in
any house in the city.
Said DR.. Genoway: at is a
shame the way the lives of the
citizens are endangered by the
sweeping of the streets. Just look
at that volume of dust which is
being breathed by the people. In
that one volume there are thou
sands of disease germs. If some
person should breath one of them

In yesterdays issue The Press
pointed out to gas consumers that
they were compelled to use 15-can-
die power gas-which is pure gas
diluted one-third with air-because
the city council either ignorantly
or without regard for the peoples
rights, granted franchise requir-
ing the gas company to furnish
nothing better.
Since granting this miserable
franchise the council has done
nothing to see that the people have
gotten even the abominable quality
of gas, and it is suspected that the
gas company has been diluting
even below the 15-candle power
mark.
The council may have acted
through ignorance, If so they
should protect the people in what
ever right is left to them. They
should see that the gas is 15-candle
power.

Before this series of gas articles
are through, we will cite instances

there were no leaks and no gas

The honesty and the integrity of
this gas company has long been a

that for 20 years the husband has
