So for seven months Mr.. Tellegcn has

says, has been so kind to him."

Rock Greek Park Arboretum. Will
Have Little Forests. -
SCENES IN LONDON-No. 8.
By GEORGE P. CONN.

Rock Creek Park is IN. process of
conversion into q great national ar
horetum, where miniature forests
representative Of every variety Of
tree that grows within the United
States will be found. There are $50
varieties, according to the records of
the Forest Service, and as there will
be an average Of ten trees Of each
variety, It will require the setting
out of. $500 trees to complete the
project.
It is further proposed, after the
American trees have been planted,
to extend the scheme, and by care
full experimentation to acclimate such
foreign varieties as can be made to
grow in this latitude.
The plan Is a new one, in that 1t
undertakes to reproduce forest con-
ditions, and. instead Of planting sin
gle specimens of each variety, a suf-
zc!ent number of each, win be grown
% reproduce the conditions under
whIch-t the trees thrive in their ma
tive forests. The Golden Gate Park,
at San Francisco, the Bronx Park,
In New York, and similar places
throughout the country have under
taken to provide forest museums,
but the Washington plan Is the first
to provide groups OF the various va
Tieties.
EXPERTS TO EXPERIMENT
WITH GROWING TRES.
Not only will the scheme convert
the less attractive portions Of the
park into sylvan Fairgrounds of
beauty, but the scientific branches of
the Government will ind opportuni-
ties for pursuing nature studies Of
me stimable value.
Foresters point out that trees
which grow in the forests or In
groups have tall. straight stems,
with a comparatively small tuft Of
grown tree has a short. thick trunk
and a wide spread of branches. It Is
thought that this plan will help the
trees to grow more thriftily because
they will. in time, reproduce the con-
dItions under which they grow nat
urally.
Seventy species were planted last
year and of this number, twelve are
nardwoods. Nine hundred and sixty
trees were set out in 1918. These trees
represent nearly every section of the
country. There is the white cedar
from New Hampshire; long1eaf, from
Cuba: sand pines, from Florida;
balsam frs, from Wisconsin: weep
ing spruce. from Oregon: and noble
FIR, from California. There also are
examples of Canadian hemlock and

PROJECT WAS STARTED
BY WILLOW EXPERIMENTS.

The authorities Of the Ruck Creek
Park offered the use of certain
lands for planting willows, which
were set out in the spring of1s12. This
was followed by another experimental
planting of specimen trees sent, in
from the Forest Service nurseries.
Soon the park authorities were en-
thusiastic over the idea of having
the open places planted up and
placed thirty-five acres at the dis
posal Of the service. They desired
to have the open fields put in trees,
and the arrangement was mutually
advantageous. The Forest Service
has furnished the stock ar d the labor
of planting, and the park authorities
have protected and cultivated the
young trees.
AS yet, the little trees do not make
much Of a showing. and scarcely in

The Punch That Tells
By TONY BIDDLE.
Millionaire Athlete and Society Man.

Sins are your opponents in
the ring Of life. Once you get
them down, finish them. Don't
turn your back and allow them to
recuperate; put an end to them
while the chance is yours.
Any of the great boxers VINO
met Bob Fitzsimmons will tell
you that the Cornishman was most
dangerous when he seemed most
helpless. Sins have the same de-
ceptive traits.
In boxing some men are known
as "finishers." Once they secure
a definite advantage over an op-
ponent, they win, quickly and sure
ly. Others lack utterly the ability
to win decisively. Many skillful
boxers and a few notable hard
hatters have seemed absolutely un-
able to finish" their men, no mat
ter how many openings offered:
Many. aIboxer has lost champion
ship honors because he was unable
to finish an adversary who later re-
cuperated and beat him..

Paintings are being made in those
sections of the park which were cuI-

forested, except for such open
glades and meadows as viii be kept
for scenic beauty. A great deal Of
the planting Is in the neighborhood
Of Camp Good VIII.
1t has been the aim. of q. n.
Lamb, OF the Forest Service, who
has made the paintings. to put the
trees where their native conditions
would be reproduced as nearly as
possible. The Southern pines have
been planted on warm sandy slopes
while alpine mrs and high mountain
balsam have been put on cool north
ern slopes. The arbor vitaes, larches.
and lowland FIR and other moisture
loving trees have been put In the
low creek bottoms.

plan Of an arboretum had not been
definitely formulated. The Forest
Service had been looking. for a place

altogether their descent from the
heights of religion and learning into

between their temperate language
