to another of these with startling ra-

Though the disease was discovered
five years ago, the progress it has

THE DOOM OF THE
CHESTNUT TREE

The chusnut tree will soon be
but tradition in America. 1t is be-
ing destroyed by mysterious disease
which, scientists concede, cannot be
cured. In New York City practically
every chestnut tree is already dead.
Over on Long Island this tree malady
is travelling fast. 1t is present in Con
necticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, and, to some extent, at
least, in Maryland and Massachusetts,.
The whole chestnut-tree area in
America, which reaches as far south
as northern Virginia and as far south
as Buffalo, is infected. Only a few
scattered trees can possible escape.
This blight was first discovered in
the New York Botanical Gardens five
years ago, and ever since scientists
have been working to find a remedy
for it. In this they have been I'M
successful. The chestnut blight is a
disease that can best be compared to
cancer in the human body. In some
way that not even the most expert OF
foresters can determine, it eats into

the contagion for miles. They are al
so carried in the fur of squirrels and
in the plumage Of birds, and in the

GOOD BYE
BY Edmond Jaloux

"HE chambermaid closed the door.
Cosno NettlesAip found himself
- alone in the little parlor In
which he had chatted so often with
Daisy Fairless. How well he knew II,
this little parlor, and still Cosmo look
ed at it as If he were seeing 1t Tor the
first time-or the last. Through the
bay window he saw a glimpse OF Hamp-
sted Heath and the smoke Of London.
Then he caught sight of the por-
trait He went up close to 1t and raised
his eyes His complexion was wax
en- there were red spots on his cheeks
and his eyes had the brilliancy OF
fever. It is hard to have to say good
bye to a happy friend when you have
consumption and realize that the end
is drawing near.
Suddenly tall young girl entered.
She was graceful, slender and willowy,
with a dazzling complexion, auburn
hair and gray eyes. She was dressed
in white flannel with rather
short skirt and in one hand she held
racquet.

know you were playing tennis Per-
haps I am disturbing you"

Daisy. adding after a short pause,

course I wanted TO see you, now mat
you are going away"

". Are you going to stay there
very long?"
Cosmo looked at the girl. Her eyes
were gazing at the green lawn outside
and the long shadows of the expresses
and Nettleship knew that the girl
whom he loved and who knew he did
was thinking Of her game OF tennis.
Not very long" he said. shaking
his head Listen. Daisy. I do not
know when I am to see you again ana
I want to take a promise away with
me. 1 have told you that l love you
and you have neither encouraged nor
refused me. Now I want to ask a ia

wards the lawn and said: "Cosmo. you
are the incest fellow know, and I am
so glad you love me. 1t is so nice Of
you and / do love to be loved. / am
sorry you are going away, because you
always do anything I ask you to do

A WOMAN writes asking for a
~ reliable recipe for managing
= a man with a contrary dispo-
sition. She says her husband says he
knows he is of a peculiar temperament.
but she would have no trouble in get
ting along with him if she only knew
the right way to treat him.
SO far the woman has not been able
to find the key that unlecks the good
nature and generosity of her husband.
and so she seeks advice from other
women who have been up against the
same sort of proposition
OF course, one would like to say
that the best way to treat contrary
man IS to bat him over the head with
q coffee pot, but, unfortunately, wo-
men lack the physical strength to en-
trariness Besides which our effete
Utilization discourages such wholesome
means of family discipline.
All that is left then for the woman
who is married to a man with a mulish
disposition is to treat him as she WOULD
any other donkey who hasn't sense
enough to do what is right and proper,
because it is right and proper, but
who has to be tolled and cajoled along
the way he should go.
Contrariness Indicates Lack Of Brains
IN the Man.
The dfscouraging thing about cor.
trariness is that 1t is the visible and
outward sign of LACK of brains. and
that is an incurable malady. A man
or woman of intelligence can always
be cured of a fault He Or che may
be enlightened, broadened, raised up
to higher levels, but a fool is hopeless.
You can never lido anything With
him or her, and 1t is Useless to Try.
You only bruise yourself by beating
up against a. stone wall of narrow
ness and prejudice that. never gives
an inch.
Therefore. if you find out man or
woman is contrary by nature, turn
and flee from them If you would save
your happiness, though you be at the
very steps of the altar, bur If You
make your discovery that you, have
taken donkey for better Or worse,
make the best of it by learning how
to sidestep his or her popularity.
In doing this the first thing to re-
member is always to let the silly fool
think that he has suggested everything
that you want to do. II you wan. to
have the parlor papered in green in
stead Of purple. don't rashly say that
donkey will put his foot down and de-
clare for purple.
On the contrary, gently and insid-
iously suggest the idea Of green paper,
and when you perceive the time Is ripe
ask him what color HE world prefer
to have the parlor paper, and be will
say green and berate you for not hav-
ing thought of it yourself before
In the next place, remember that
the law of contraries always works.

The chamberlain of the predecessor
of the present pope has written her

marks of the torture that destroyed
her beauty disappeared over night and
that on the morning after she left the
torture chamber, she was as beautiful
as ever. In the annals of the church
she lives as "Juliana of Nicomedia,
more than Conqueror."

formed part, claim her as patron.

and noticed that the sun was about to

"Au revoir, Cosmo,'' she said.
He looked once more at the parlor,
his eyes fingered on the fuschias and

him to the gate, shook hands with a
smile, and when he turned and looked
up the stairs.
Then he felt a great emptiness in
