West Virginia Must
Pay I2,3O3,929of
Old Virginia Debt
Controversy Of Long Standing Finally
Dec ded by U. S. Supreme
Court

Washington, June ia The SUI.
preme court today decided the long
standing Virginia West Virginia debt
Ease holding West Virginia should
pay sl2,S93,929 as its net share of the
V rginia debt at the tine of the par.
tition Of the states.
The report of the late Charles T..
Littlefield as special master, was up
held in all particulars. except one
minor finding. The court held that
West Virginia was entitled to its
share of the assets arts from the
original principal debt and fixed that
amount at S2,9GG,O0O. West Virginia
is required by the court to pay sS..
17S,000 in interest computed at per
cent from 1891 to date and per cent
from 1861 to 1891.
The controversy has been one of
the most prolonged ever before the
supreme court. The court for years
delayed entering a final Judgment In
hopes Of an am,cable adjustment Of
the dispute.
Before the separation OF West Vir.
ginia from Virginia, Virginia had
state debt of s33,OOO,OOo incurred
ma My as the result Of an ambitious
scheme to provide canal and slack
water navigation along the courses
Of the St James and Kanawha riv.
ers with the hope of making q navi.
gable waterway from Richmond to
the Ohio and Mississippi; an elabor-
ate project of macadam zed roads;
then Of railroading.
In 1906, the commonwealth of Vir.
ginia asked and gained the permits.
sion Of the supreme court to bring
suit before that tribunal to compel
West Virginia to pay an ecu table
share Of the debt, acting partly It has
been said, at the instance of holders
Of bonds Virginia had issued to COW
er the Indebtedness.
In 1911 the supreme court announc.
ed that West Virgin'as share of the
principal debt should be determined
by the ration of the wealth of the two
states. 1t was fixed a s7,1S2, 5O7 40 In
1913, Virginia asked for final judy
ment, which would include interest
on the principal debt. West Virginia
then raised claim to share of the
assets growing out of the investments
of the s33,000,O0O which Is allowed.

Ba|ytes Industry
On The Boom
Increased Production Of Crude Ore
and Refined 6arytes
In 1914

During 1914 the people of the Uni.
ted States used 34,315 short tons of
refined Barytes and paid $447,35S for
1t, according to statistics compiled
by James NJ. Hill of the United
States Geological Survey. Most Of
this product was used in the large
quantity of white paint required by
the general response to the slogan,

The barytes mines of Missouri, Ala.
bama, California, Georgia, Kentucky,
North Carolina, South Carolina, and
Virginia dug, 51,547 tons during 1914,
for which they received $l53,715, or
50 SO a ton.
An item of particular interest dur.
ing 1914 was the d scovery that the
barytes veins near FL Portal, Mari
posa County Cal, turn into witherite

low depths. Heretofore deposits of
witherite Of commercial size were un.
known in the United States, and all
the barlum carbonate we used was
either imported from Germany or
made from barytes at considerable ex-
pense.

the French term "chic?" This very

of the season where all shades of

At Long Beach this week there
were any number of smart pongee,

particular, showed a distinctly new
treatment of the waistline; two pleats
in the front Of the bodice formed a

OF the material fastened. The skirt
was laid inverted box pleats: the
sleeves were finished with circular
cuffs and the neck with long shawl

girl wore a Quaker collar of sheer
organdy, fastened in the front with
black velvet.
There were other white dresses
too, with always the touch of back
to give them the proper smartness

sidered nut bearing tree; for it,
acorns are not generally used for food
lalthough, of course, they are edible. For
esters say that the chestnut and the
black walnut are the largest nut bear
ing trees in this country, and the con
test did, in fact, unearth chestnut
near Crestmont, North Carolina, which is
SO feet inches in circumference and
about rs feet tall.
! The contest brought forth photographs
and authentic description of 1877 trees in
all parts of the United States, making
distinctly valuable contribution to ex-
listing knowledge of native trees. 1t was
found that, in all probability, there is
no living elm larger than "The Great
Elm" at Weathersfeld, Conn, which is
2S feet in circumference and about 100
feet tall, and is estimated to be $50
years old. Many remarkable specimens
of species which ordinarily attain only
small sizes were unearthed by the con-
test, furnishing new records of maxi
mum growth. A sassafras was brought
to light at Horsham, Penn, which is
Is feet 10 inches in circumference at
four feet from the ground, whereas, for
example, not long before this a Georgia
town claimed that it had the largest
sassafras tree in the world, though this
tree was only something over seven feet
in circumference. A white birch was
found in Massachusetts, with girth
of II feet 2 inches; pecan was found
in Louisiana with circumference of 10
feet inches, and catalpa in Arkan-
sas with a girth of 10 feet. The tallest
tree found is yellow poplar in North
Carolina, which is 1913 feet high and
has circumference of "a feet 6 inches.
The value of the contest lies in its
contribution of new information as to
the maximum growth attained by de-
ciduous species and the localities in
which the different species seem to grow
best. The relative sizes Of the confer
Gus species are fairly well established,
the big tree of California, for example,
being the largest in the world; but in
on the size attained by de-
,iduous trees in this country has been !
very incomplete.

BIGGEST SHADE TREE.
Foresters Declare Sycamore, Prize-Win-
ming Species.

That the largest shade tree in thu
United States, as brought to light by
the prize contest held by the American
Genetic association should turn out tc
be the eastern sycamore is not surprls'
ing, say government foresters. The syc.
amore has long been regarded as the
largest deciduous tree in North America
and its range of growth is hardly Sec
cond to that of any other broad-leaf
tree; for it can be found from Maine
to Florida, and as far west as Kansas.
The bestowal of the prize on syca-
more at Worthington, Ind, which Is AZ
feet, three inches in circumference and
$50 feet tall, draws attention to the
fact that foresters are nowadays rec
ommending the species especially for
city planting. They say that long ex-
perience with sycamore planted in city
streets has shown that the species is
peculiarly able to Withstand the smoke,
dust, and gases which are usually an UNI
avoidable complement of urban life. In
addition, the sycamore is as resistant
to attacks of insects and fungi as al
most any species, and is quick grow
er at ten years of age, healthy syea-
more usually is already large enough for
shade as well as for decorative purposes.
As for the latter, there is hardly any
eastern species which is generally held
SO picturesque as the sycamore. With
its strikingly notified bark and magni-
ficent stature and conformation, the syc-
amore has marked individuality and
can not be mistaken for any other spe-
cies, either in the summer when the fol-
iage conceals its structural form, or in
the winter when the leaves are absent.
A common objection to the sycamore
as a lawn tree is its habit OF dropping
its leaves before autumn. From this
characteristic it is sometimes called a
"dirty tree" Recently the forest com
mission received letter from subur-
ban resident who has sycamore on
his lawn. my sycamore tree is very
beautiful" said the writer, until about |
the first of August, when its leaves be- I
gin to fall. Il there any remedy that |
] can apply to the tree to keep it from |
dropping its leaves so soon?" 1t was
necessary to tell the correspondent that |
this was a characteristic habit of the |
tree. This drawback, however, is prac-
tieally the only failing that the syca-
more has, and it is offset by many de-
sirable qualities.
On the other hand, there is little
prospect of popularity, foresters say, for
the valley oak of California, which was
decided to be the largest nut-bearing
tree in the United States, the contest
unearthing a specimen in San Benito
county, which is 81 feet 9 inches in cir
conference and 1875 feet high. The val
ley oak is very beautiful tree, but it
attains maturity only after three or four
hundred years; its wood is too tough,
knotty, and otherwise imperfect TO be
good for lumber; the tree grows too
slowly 10 be planted for shade or deco
rative purposes, and, being found only
in California, IL would have a small
field of usefulness. Horticulturists say
that the valley oak is not popularity con-

Air in Bedrooms.

1t has been proved by experiment
that layer of air lies against the walls
which is subject to very little movement
even when there is circulation in the
middle of the room. 1t is, therefore, i'm
portant that bed should not be placed
close to the wall If kept there during
the day time, it should be moved at
least several inches out into the room at
night. Alcoyes and curtains should be
avoided. In an aleove enclosed on three
sides pool of air forms which may
be compared to the stagnant pools often

The lack of appetite for breakfast, as
well as many cases of anaemia or worse
