National Guard Ayators.

"Mile-a- Minute" Murphy, the dare
devil member OF the Police Depart
ment's motorcycle squad, has applied
to Commissioner Woods for permission
to give instructions in driving aero
planes and also to act as air scout for
the national guard when he is not busy
trapping speeding autoists.
He has invented means to make
aviation safer, he announced yesterday.
Since the time he rode a bicycle sixty
miles an hour, paced by a train, Muir
ply has devoted himself TO aviation,
often driving one Of the aeroplanes. A
few months ago he went 10 the Jamaica

tomobile, and while recovering he de-
vsed his safeguard. which he will not

THERE are three kinds
L of trade marks and
all serve a purpose: trade
marks that apparently
mean nothing at all yet
are useful. trade marks
that are catchy" and so
are more useful, and
trade marks that efec-
lively symbolic the quail
ity of the product and so
are most useful.
The new trade mark
of The Tribune is of this
last type. 1t is adapted
from the statue OF its
founder, Horace Greeley,
and adopted for the sym
bolization that its found
er's high principles are
living forces still.
Whenever and wher-
ever YOU see it. think Of
that.

NOVEL USES OF TREES.
How Some Forest Monarchs Have Been
Converted After a FALL

How Some Forest Monarchs Have Been
Converted After Fall.
During a severe storm in Portland,
Ore, says the American City, one of
the magnificent fir trees which beau
tify Maclay park fell headlong down a
slope and lay, hundred foot giant, ap-
parently quite "done for" 1t proved,
however, that the fine tree was yet to
serve it's greatest usefulness. From top
to bottom of it's immense length a
stairway four feet wide at the broad
est point was cut, and this was edged
on both sides with rustic railing. The
tree is now the delight of visitors to the
park, especially children: It takes the
place Of a steep and slippery path
which had long been considered dan
gerous.
Another example Of converted tree
is the cedar stump used as band
stand in Wright park, at Tacoma.
Wash. This is twenty feet in diameter,
twelve feet high and easily capable Of
holding twenty five musicians. It orig
inally came from western Washington,
where the first proprietor used the In
side as a residence, having followed it
out for that purpose and put in full
size front door, which is visible in the

SOLVING THE HOUSING
PROBLEM IN DIES MONIES.
Attractive Flats at Moderate Rents Be-
ing Constructed by Association.

A practical demonstration to prove
that individual apartments with mod
ern plumbing, sanitary conveniences
and absolute privacy for each family
can be built to- rent for from So to
$3.50 per- month and yet yield rea-
sonable profit to the builder is being
made in Des Moines, la. The Octavia
Hill association, which has already won
renown in solving housing problems,
has worked out the plan to the small
est detail and is building the model
houses. Forty-fve families will be pro-
vided for in the first block now under
construction.
The houses, which are Of red brick,
are simply finished, with sufficient
trimming to keep them from being
severely plain. One important feature
Of the property is the provision for the
children. About 5000 square feet of
ground in the center of the block will
be used for playground. The rent
collectors are trained social workers
and will volunteer to start the play
ground activities.
The Des Moines venture is a test
case to prove that the insanitary and
bad housing conditions which prevail
for the low salaried workingman are
criminally unnecessary. 1t is voicing
an unanswerable protest against the
crowded tenement, the dilapidated and
insanitary house which is virtually the

CEREALS, IN NORTH DAKOTA.

Spring Whsats Give Better Results
Than Winter.
Since 1908 the federal bureau of
plant industry has co-operated with
the North Dakota agricultural expert
ment station in making series Of ex-
periments with cereals. This work has
been conducted at the Williston sub
station. Following are some of the
effort:
First. - Spring wheats have given
better results than winter wheats.
Second.-Except in the dry years,
1910 and 1911, the durum wheats have
produced higher yields than the COM
mon spring wheats.>
Third.-Kubanka durum wheat gave
the highest average yield Of all the
spring wheats tested from 1908 to
1914, inclusive-29.9 bushels to the acre.
Power fife wheat stood second for the
same period, producing 1856 bushels to
the acre.
Fourth.-The best three varieties of
oats for the seven years are: Alum
dance, with an average yield of 66.4
bushels to the acre; Lincoln, $50
bushels, and Siberian, 645 bushels.
These are all midseason varieties. The
late maturing varieties, such as White
Russian and the very early varieties,
Sixty Day and Kherson, have yielded
much, less than the midseason varie-
ties.
Fifth.-Rate of seeding tests with
Swedish Select oats Indicate that the
best yields are obtained by sowing
from four to six peeks to the acre.
Sixth.-The six rowed group of bar
ley has yielded better: than the two
rowed group The highest average
yield for the seven years, 800 bushels,
has been produced by: the Williston
No. 40, strain of Manehuria barley.
Seventh. -- Emmer and spring rye
have not given so high average yields
