Ono Notable For It's Wood, the other
For Its Brillinncy of COIOring.
The great oak family might be dlvd-
ed into two classes-those that ripen
their acorns in one season, such as the
white, post and mossy cup oaks, and
those which require two full years
such as the red, scarlet and black oaks
oak and the live oak of the south. This
latter tree for generations played an
important part in shipbuiding, but has
now been superseded by iron and steel
The leaf. which is an evergreen, is en-
tlrely without indentations and is thick
and leathery. the wood is very heavy
and strong. has a beautiful grain and
is susceptible of taking a high polish
At one time this wood was so valuable
that our government paid 100000 for
large tracts of land in the south, that
our navy might be sure of a supply Of
live oak timber.
To the second class Of oaks we are
largely indebted for the gorgeous col
ors Of our autumn leaves. The red,
scarlet and pin oaks, with their bril-
liant reds, scarlets and browns, are
close competitors with the maple in
giving our American landscapes the
most wonderful autumn colorings to be
found anywhere in the world. These
three trees have leaves which at first
glance are quite similar, but by care
full examination may always be dis
tinguished.- Nicholas.

INFANT INCUBATORs' UNION.
Unique Gathering in New York Re-
Gently of Prematurely Born.

At the Waldorf-Astoria in New
York recently was assembled one of
the strangest collections of people
ever known. They were incubator
babies. young lives saved from the
brink of eternity by science and skill
They were from Buffalo, st. Louis,
Chicago, and other cities where the
human incubator has been in evidence.
The ages of the participants ranged
from 3 years down.
Their mothers were proud of them
and thankful for an all kind Provi-
dence that had permitted them to
cling to the slender thread of life that
may be broken any hour. They were
thankful too that science had given
the world the Infant Incubator, which
has enabled thousands to live that
death would have claimed otherwise.

When the Negro Wa. Created.

The Mexican Indians, as well as

effect that the negro was made before

even before the sun was created. They
account for his color by declaring that
he was made and dried in tho dark
Their own race, they say, was made in
the morning OF the first day between
daylight and sunup. On this account

this afternoon a story of the Benning-

the San Francisco Examiner. He left
his work in the big ward at the
army barracks as assistant to the
surgeons to come out onto the broad
piazza of the second story, where he
related his experience. Grobetch
said:

MILLERs TO COMBINE.
Washington Flour Manufacturers
Seek to Control Markets.

The flour millers of the state OF
Washington are working to perfect a
combine for mutual protection and
advantage AS matters now stand
there is a great deal of work yet to
be done before the Washington Mil
lers' association can accomplish any
tangible results.
First and before all else the mill
ers must agree among themselves
concerning a modus operandi. TIC
perfect plan whereby the flour mills
of the state will work as one and in
accord with what are termed good
business principles" the executive
committee of the association met re-
Gently at Tacoma.
At the Tacoma meeting mills We're
represented having an aggregate ca
pacity of $4,000 barrels per day. The
big Wilcox interests were not repre-
sented.
T. B. Wilcox, the rich banker and
flour manufacturer of Portland
through the Portland flour MILL with
the Puget Sound flour mills, with
other allied interests, controls practi.
cally a dozen plants.
To persuade the Portland man tC
join with the movement inaugurated
at Tacoma after months of hard
work, is now the task of the promot-
ers of the Washington Millers' asso.
citation. 1t is said that the combine
will not be really effective unless the
Wilcox mills join it.
The mill men claim that there is
urgent need for the formation of just
such an organization as they have
now launched. Their claim is that
the flour mill men "cut each others
throats" in price making and in gen.
eral independence of action. Market
conditions in the Orient, it is claimed
make it possible for losses to occur
unless there is uniform action and a
definite policy followed by the mill
ers.

obstacles on account of the fact that
the trade is monopolized by men, and

How spnrroyys Were Caught.

In an old game book published in
England in 1920 appeared the follow
ing formula for the lessening of the
sparrow pest: Take some lees Of wine
and hemlock juice, temper them to-
gether and steep a quantity Of wheat
therein for the space Of one night. Then
place the same in a spot where the
birds resort to feed, and when they
have eaten thereof they will drop down
dead drunk Too much hemlock should
not be used or there will be danger
OF poisoning the birds and rendering
them unwholesome food"

POETS AND THUNDER.

A Description by Byron and n Conn
ment on II by scott.
Byron in the third canto of "Childe
Harold" describes a thunderstorm in
Switzerland which occurred at MD
night on June 13, 1916. He notices the
awful stiffness which precedes 1t:
All heaven and earth are still, though not
in sleep,
But breathless.
until
From peak to peak the rafting crags
among,
Leaps the live thunderl Not from ono
lone cloud.
But every mountain now hath found n
tongue,
And Jura answers, through her misty
shroud
Back to the Joyous Alps who call to her
aloud
The description Is too long to quote,
and indeed, too well known, but Sir
Walter Scott's criticism on 1t may not
be so well known. He says;
This is one of the most beautiful
passages of the poem. The fierce and
far delight of thunderstorm is here
described in verse almost as vivid as
its lightnings. The live thunder leap
ing among the rattling crags. the voice
OF mountains, as if shouting TO each
other, the plashing of the big rain, the
cleaning of the wide lake, lighted like
phosphoric sea, present a picture of
sublime terror, yet of enjoyment, often
attempted, but never so well, certainly
never better, brought out in poetry
