in pottery, and to report how far these
can be obviated by improved appli-
ances and methods in lead processes

by the substitution of harmless com
pounds for raw lead. or of other ma
terials for lead, and by other means
The committee is also instructed to
consider the danger and injury to

Driven Out of Berlin.

Miss Anna Morgan. heiress to $780,
900, 900, says a Vienna paper. was
driven out of Berlin, where she hoped
TO study politicosocial conditions, by
the beggars, high and low, nobility and
others, who no sooner heard of the
arrival of the rich American girl than
they set siege TO her dollars. Indi
viduals, societies, churches, charitable
institutions and promoters of business
schemes wrote, telegrapbed and sent
messengers. 1t all looked funny TO
the young woman at first, but il be-
came a nuisance, from which she es-
capped by means Of her automobile, in
which she FASTENED TO a nearby sum

many people are perfectly ignorant of
the correct way TO write acceptances
and regrets when they are asked TO
entertainments. 1t would pay some
enterprising woman to go around writ
ing them for those who don't know
how. You'd be amazed to see the pee
pie who come to me to ask how it is
done or get me to write them. And,

the active section of the trunk and branches. The cells of these inner rings are gradually covered by the yearly de- posit of new growth, and from living sapwood become heartwood, which is dead and serves merely as strong framework for the living parts of the tree and as store houses for excess material.
 This is the reason why hollow trees may often be found in a fourishing con dition when the heart-wood may have entirely disappeared. However. a land scape tree in this condition, deprived of the shelter of it's fellows. Is in grave danger. for high wind or a heavy snowfall may find 1t an easy victim.
 After a mass of decay has been re- moved from the interior of a rotting trunk there remains a shell of living sapwood and bark. Into this cavity a steel brace is inserted and bolted in place. By this method the tree surgeon is enabled to build out trees where fully half the wood may have been destroyed by lightning or from some other cause. This treatment serves as a fine example of the heal ing powers of nature for it is remark able how quickly these wounds will heal when protected from moisture and further decay by the cement filling insured by the watersh eds.
