by lightning, which has also been
known to set the woods on fire. and
the forest is attacked in many other
ways. For example, birds and SOUR.
rels often prevent young growth by
devourfng great quantities of nuts and
other seeds. while porcupines and
mice frequently kill young trees by
gnawing away their bark
Most of these foes may be called
natural enemies, for they would injure
the forest to greater or less extent
il the action of man were altogether
removed. Wild animals would take
the place of domestic sheep and cattle
to some degree. and fire, wind, and
insects would still attack the forest.
But many of the most serious dangers
to the forest are of human origin.
Such are destructive numbering. and
excessive taxation on forest lands, to
which much bad numbering is directly
due. SO high are these taxes in some
states for in many cases they amount
to 8 or even per cent. yearly on
the market value of the forests. that
the owners cannot afford to pay them
ana hold their lands. Consequently
they are forced to cut or sell their
timber in haste and without regard
to the future. When the timber is
gone the owners refuse to pay taxes
any longer, and the devastated lands
revert to the state. Many thousand
square miles Of forest have been
ruined by reckless numbering because
heavy taxes forced the owners to real.
lie quickly and once for all upon their
forest land, instead of cutting it in
a way to insure valuable future
crops. For the same reason many
countries are now poor that might
otherwise have been hourishing and
rich.

the beasts a few years ago was the
Little Field Of the Dead, a cemetery
in Pera, Turkey. Here they gathered

grewsome graveyard as their special

Occasionally the easy-going authori.

the wild dogs to order soldiers to cap

taken were driven aboard a ship and

them. Three days provisions were

WHY ARE WE RIGHT HANDED?
Most Rational Explanation Would
Seem to Be That Which Accounts
for Position Of Heart.

The most recent explanation o.
righthandedness by psychologist. is
exciting some merriment among med
ical men. He supposes the human
body to have unexplained polar prop
critics, somewhat like those OF mag
net, the right side being always posi-
tive" and the left negative" The
most rational explanation would seem
to be that which accounts for right
and left handedness by the position OF
the heart. The shield would naturally
be held in the left hand to protect
this vital organ, so that the active
work would fall to the right hand
Those who maintain that acquired
characteristics cannot be inherited
will desire to have this expressed
somewhat differently According to
them positions of spear and shield
were at first a matter of individual
choice, but those who held the shield
in the right hand, leaving the heart
exposed, were more frequently killed
so that by natural selection the right
hand spear holders ultimately sur
vived and propagated their peculiar
lty. In this case, It will be noticed
the inherited characteristic is not &C.
CURED, but existed in the warrior at
birth. The difference may not seem
worth quarreling about, but it meas.
ureS the whole distance between the
followers Of Darwin and those of La
marck. AT any rate the hypothesis
in whichever form it is put, seems
eminently reasonable, whereas talk
about polarity" would appear to be
mostly verbiage.

SCORES A SUCCESS
IN PIANO RECITAL
Mrs. Jennie Duncan Plays
Difficult Program in
Pleasing Manner.

An audience of substantial proportions
braved the inclement weather last even
ing to hear the graduating recital Of
Mrs Jennie Duncan, Of West Virginia,
q pupil of the piano teachers training
course at 1347 L street northwest.
Mrs. Duncan seems endowed with an
original gift of expression, which has
been enhanced by a thorough technical
training. Perhaps the number on her
program last ev ming most highly ap-
preciated was Chopin's Etude. op. %,
No. Z. Her technique in this number
was especially good Almost as eapabiy
rendered was the better known Scherzo
of the same composer in 3 fiat minor
Mrs. Duncan's repertoire was not con-
fined to more diff init classical numbers.
She played HenstIts Ave Maria" with
rare understanding. Her complete mas
terry of technique was probably best
shown when she played Mcdowell
'PolOnaise,'' a number that furnishes a
genuine test of her ability.
Mrs. Duncan opened her program with
a Beethoven sonata, and concluded with
Mendelssohn. This difficult program
might justify a letting down in the lat
ter numbers, but Mrs. Duncan sustained
her high standard throughout the pro-
gram, and the nitric ate harmony of the
fnaI number, was brought out in an
appreciative Interpretation.

Arguments in the appeal taken by the

OF the District Supreme Court, who
held that he had no power to order

The Alsop Company are manufac-

bleached cereals, and claim that the
enforcement of Wilson's decision means
great monetary loss to them
An opinion in this case will probably
1ot be rendered until some time in
June, for at the conclusion of the argu-

nounced the Suspension of all cases

But one side Of the case was heard.
Chief Justice Shepard said that the
