HEIGHT OF ENGLiSHMEN
FIGURES IN RECRUITING

LONDON, Oct. IS, Correspond
ence of The Associated Press) =
Why England should restrict recruit
ing to men of the minimum height
of TT. 6 in. in days when battles are
fought with long range weapons in
stead of broad swords and battle axes
is puzzling many young patriots of
under size who are anxious to go tC
the front. The old rule has already
caused medical men to protest both
in print and to the Army Medical Ad-
visory Board.
One of the medical journals points
out that what is needed these days
is not brute power to WELD heavy
weights but a wiry physique able to
stand bad weather, irregular feeding,
broken sleep, long marches and
brains to take cover and shoot with
skill and patience. The short man
weighs less, needs less food, is easier
of transportation, stands hard march
ing with out his feet giving way Of
fers a smaller mark to the enemy,
keeps himself warm in a smaller
space and can shelter in a trench bet
ter than big men. The heavier the
man, the more food needed to keep
up a given account of physical exer-
ton, and a man of 10 pounds re-
quires a fifth more food than one of
14O pounds, it is scientifically esti-
mated Hence IT. 3 in. would open
recruiting to excellent material

in the Mexican stope and work has
been suspended in the crosscut until
all embers have been extinguished
and the mine workings are free of
gas. The Union winse pump is being
regularly operated and holding the

were suspended on October 1Sth,
when fire broke out in the old $500
level stope. The fire now appears
to be extinguished on the 25Oo level
and the mine workings are slowly
clearing of gas and smoke. 1t is
probable that some timbers are
smouldering in the old Slopes above
the $500 level, for which reason
numerous bulkheads have been con-
structed IL confine or direct the air
currents.
The Yellow jacket mill had a very
busy week, and 1G22 tons of Gre

sirface of the Jacket $50 tons oe ore
were sent to the s,,Uryhole fro,n the
shaft, and at the LINE bins, 3S5 tons
OF Belcher or, were received The.
usual repairs were made to the shaft

made io tine north DRIFT.
During the past week, the Gale

PRIZE IS OFFERED FOR
LARGEST TREE IN U. S.
500 WILL BE PAID-EXCEP
TIONS MADE TO GIANTS
OF CALIFORNIA.

The district forester at Portland,
Oregon. has received notification
that the American Genetic Associa-
ton OF Washington, d. c., has offer
cd two prizes OF 500 each for two
photographs-one OF the largest tree
in the United States or a nut-bear-
ing species, and one OF the largest
broadleaf tree which does not bear
edible seeds
Under the head OF nut-bearing spe-
eies are the chestnuts, walnuts, but
ternuts. pecans and oaks, the only
native representatives OF which
group in this region are the oregon
oak and the California black oak. In
the second class, that OF the non-nut-
bearing broadleaf species, We have in
this section such trees as the broad
leaf maple, Oregon ash, red alder
and black cottonwood
Photographs OF cone-bearing trees
are not wanted. as It is definitely
known that the California big trees
have no rivals; but later the associa-
ton may take up the question and
offer prizes for pictures of various
kinds Of conifers, such as pines.
spruces. firs and cedars which grow
so abundantly in Washington and
oregon.
The object OF this competition. as
stated by the association, Is to find
out in what regions the native trees
attain the largest growth. AMI under
what conditions they thrive best.
When these large trees are located
and the measurements authenticated.
the association hopes that II may be
possible to secure seeds, cuttings or
grating wood from thrifty trees In
the region where they grew, to see
whether finer specimens may be
propagated in other parts OF the
country. 1t Is hoped in this manner
to get some particularly choice
strains of native trees established IN
regions where good specimens are
not found. BY finding out where the
large trees are and then plantiRg
seeds from them in other locations,
the association hopes to demonstrate
the practical value to horticulture
and forestry OF the laws OF heredity.
Now that reforestation is becoming a
pressing problem, the question OF
seed trees which will produce partlc-
uarly good offspring is naturally
coming to the front.
The forest service has conducted
some studies along this line. and has
discovered that the Douglas fir OF
the Rocky mountains and the Doug
las fir Of the Pacific coast, while boz
tanically Identical. have different
characteristics which are apparent
wherever they are planted. For ex-
ample, It has been found that in
Germany the Pacific coast form OF
Douglas fir grows much more rapid
ly. but is not as hardy as the Rocky
mountain form. German roresters are
now working to discover a strain OF
Douglas fir which will combine hard
iness OF the Rocky mountain form
and the large size OF the Pacific
coast form.
The association announces that the
contest will close on July l. 1915.
