Fourteen different languages were

in every language represented at the

The program was arranged By

It consisted of a brief word in Eng

Secretary Wilson has so circum-
scribed the duties Of the forest service
that all there is left to do is to grow
trees, and water those already grow
ing. Henry Solon Graves, Pinchot's
successor, has already announced that
this is his slogan. He's decided to let
the family tree Of the service worry
along without any attention, and to
let time heal it's grevious cuts.
The chief forester doesn't pose as
an organizer. Pinchot was. There is
no higher compliment to his ener-
gies than the present Capitalization
Of affairs in the forest service, the
outgrowth Of his ideas, the work Of
his brain. Graves is tree-grower

He has studied for years about
trees and he knows them. He is
anxious to grow trees. but is not apt
to go beyond that point, first because
he does not want to and second be-
cause Secretary Wilson wouldn't lei
him If he did.
Graves studied forestry first in the
University at Munich. Germany. He
came away from there chuck full OF
tree lore and then wandered around
Switzerland, Germany and Austria
When he came back to the United
States he found Clifford Pinchot here

Washington.-The millennium for

the solemn performance of its duty
under the constitution.
The honor fell to little Henrietta

Justice Brewer. When she and her
mother came to the court yesterday
afternoon the grandfather left his
place on the bench to join them in
the seats reserved for the families Of
members.
The year-old lassie is very
fond Of her grandfather and followed
him as ne started to return to the
bench Finding the child beside him
as ne resumed his seat, the associate
justice took her on his knee.
Probably such spectacle had new
er been seen before in the 120 years
history Of the court.
The other justices were interested.

SCIENTISTS EAT MEAT THAT
is 250,0O0 YEARS OLD

New York; record feat in cold
storage is recounted by DR.. Bayard
G. Fuller, chief inspector Of foods for
New York city.
According to his story, there was
discovered in Russia some time ago
the carcass Of a mammoth which sci
entists said had been alive before the
glacial period. That meant that the
body, still in perfect condition, was
more than 10000 years old. Tests
showed that the meat was well pre-
served and q huge steak from it was
served at a dinner given by prominent
scientists. The guests pronounced the
meat excellent.
"Once meat or poultry has been
frozen" says DR.. Fuller, "the passage
Of time has no effect on It and fer
mentation is completely arrested so
long as It is kept in a frozen condi-
ton. When thawing sets in, how
ever. disintegration is rapid"
