Cedars of Lebanon
Are Becoming Extinct

LONDON, Oct. 16-Accordine to Prof.
A Day. Of Syria. the cedars Of Lebanon
viii In all probability become extinct
within q very short time.
There is. he says, IN a communication
made recently to a scientific society, one
grove that is apparently very old.
Whether il existed in Bible times is
somewhat difficult to determine. but the
natives are very Jealous Of It and en-
ploy watchmen to guard it day and
lated strictly.
Beyond this particular grove there are
30 be found in Syria only two or three
Lesser groves OF younger trees. but the
far famed cedars OF Lebanon from
which Solomon procured the tinbers for
his temple at Jerusalem have long since
ceased to exist.
One reason for the gradual extinction
of the Syrian cedar tree Is. in Prof.
Days opinion, TO be accounted sor by
the fact that the climate Of Syria and
the Holy Land is undergoing a change.
The temperature has become much
moro humid and In summer time sell
dom exceeds s. degrees.
Very little timber is used for flooring.
As marble Is much cheaper than import
IS imported from Asia Minor. II is very
seldom. even in winter. that artificial
heat Is employed at any rate beyond a
charcoal braizer and the temperature
seldom falls below 40 degrees. At one
time the country was heavily timbered
but decorestaton has decreased the
rainfall and such rain that falls runs
of quickly and thus the hills have be.
come denuded of Soil.

Montgomery County
May Get Longer Terms

That the schools Of Montgomery
county may be kept opon for the fun
term Of nine months. instead OF seven.
as new provided for. the Bethesda
District Civic Federation has passed
a resolution calling upon the county
commissioners to furnish the sum Of
$4,000 to the county school commits
sic ners.
The original amount furnished by
the county commissioners was insuf.
ncfent by $4,000, and inasmuch as
the State law provides for An addl-
tional $4,000 to counties having nine
month terms. the Bethesda federation
is particularly anxious to have the
deficit made up.
1t is pointed out that the commits
stoners of Montgomery county can
borrow the additional $20eo0. wh1lO
the federation cannot, and a public
hearing on the question probably will
be held soon.

ANN TORMENTS
. HOUSE MEMBERS
Continues to Poster Democrats
Because of the Lack OF a
Quorum.

Pursuing the gleeful occupation OF
Fostering the Democrats, Minority Lead
er Mann again forced a roll call in the
House today, and succeeding in inscrib-
ing upon the pages of the Congressional
Record a formidable list OF absentees.
The House had practically no business
before ii. except to adjourn. but the per-
sistent Mr.. Mann obtained a roll call
even on the routine motion TO bring
about that end.
MIR. Mannasserts he is going to have
a roll call every day to show the country
how many Democrats are away from
their posts. Of course, a few Repubh-
cans are absent also. but they have
weathered political storms before, ind

plaiIing back home that is required OF

Congressman Logue. a Pennsylrania
Democrat, and Congressman Ware, a
Pennsylvania Republican. Joined forces
today in an effort to get through the
House a resolution authorizing the ap-
pointment of joint Congressional COM
ulittee to attend the celebration in Phil
adelphia next week which commemor-
Underwood For 1t.
Mr.. Underwood said he had no objec-
ton to extending unanimous consent
provided Mr.. Mann wouldn't make a
point Of no quorum or demand a roll
call on the resolution.
'1 have told absent members no i'm
portant business would be transacted
and I dent want a roll call on the reso-
luton" said Mr.. Underwood. If II
cen be considered by unanimous consept,
all right Is the gentleman going to
demand a roll CALI"
IT am making no promises, said Mr..
How many members do you want
on this joint committee" asked Mr..
Mann, encouraging Messrs Logue and
Ware.
"we want the House TO SEND fifty
six without expense to the Govern
ment. We want the same number
there at the celebration as was in
Congress when it sat in Philadel-
pnia," explained Mr.. Logue.
That might break up a quorum in
Washington. II is important to have
q quorum here" solemnly commented
Mr.. Mann.
Mr. Logue said the Philadelphia
celebration was patriotic affair. y
Begin To Give Up Hope.
TT is also patriotic for members to
stay here as long as Congress is in
session said the obdurate minority
leader. and the Pennsylvanians began
to abandon hope.
Mr.. Mann allowed the question on
the resolution to be put, but he made
the point Of no quorum before the
vote was announced. To stave off a
roll call, Mr Underwood uqickly
moved an adjournment of the House.
sOn that l demand the ayes and
nays" said Mr.. Mann. accomplishing 6
his purpose, nevertheless.
The roll call, showing a quorum
less House, was had. and adjourn
ment was taken. but not until Mr.
Mann had caused the listing of all
absent members, who will he called
20 account IN the campaigns next
year.
