OBTAINING sWEET-BIRCH OH
industry Has Become Quite a Matter
Of Importance in Some Sections
of the South.

Sweet-birch Oil has been made in
his country for many years and is
obtained from the wood and bark of
the black birch. The oil is a product
of steam distillation plants, where, in
addition to the twigs, bark and young
sprouts of the birch, the entire tree
is sometimes used. More picturesque
are the methods employed by the
southern mOuntaineer. a rough. camp
and crude distillery are erected near
a supply of birch. According to per-
sons who have seen both kinds, the
still is not unlike the type some
times employed in the same locality
for making BLOCKADE" whisky. The
camp is anything which will protect
the workmen from the weather. The
bark is peeled from the tree and the
rough outer portion is scraped off. It
is then broken to cook it. A fire is
started and the resulting steam is led
through a pipe and finally condensed.
The heavy oil gathers in u receptacle,
While the water runs off. Three or
four men compose the usual crew.
One of these spends all of his time at
the Still, while the others gather and
prepare the bark. About twenty-five
bushels Of bark are used for every run
and it is said hat this amount yields
approximately four pounds of oil.
Three or four runs a week can be
made. The method has been in use
for many years, and most Of the ac-
cessible birch in the valleys has been
cut. Each year the oil makers have to
go farther back in the mountains.
Very often the stills are located in
isolated places which can be reached
only on foot, and all of the material
for the plants and camp are carried
in on the backs of the m~ountaineers.

Great ThrOngs Receive Him in
Chicago Today.
BUSY PROGRAM ARRANGED
Growing Event to Be Speech
at Coliseum Tonight.
Some fractional Strife to Iron
Out in Chicago.
BY PERRY ARNOLD.

Chicago. Aug. s-Charles Evans
Hughes is out-Roosevelting Roosevelt
in strenuosity of campaigning. Arriv-
ing here today, the Republican nomi-
nee was fresh as a daisy after day
in Detroit that kept him on the jump
in fiercely hot weather, from carly
morning to late at night. Moreover,
Hughes seemed likely today to achieve
a new record in Chicago for stumpers.
Only one speech was scheduled-at
the Coliseum, where back in June the
G. o. p selected him as it's candidate
but the nominee has to straighten
out a slightly tangled factional muss
between Republicans in Illinois. 1t
seemed likely he would have a great
deal of handshaking to do.
He was slated for a conference with
Chairman Wilcox, Alvin T. Hert, of
Kentucky, western campaign manager
and national committeeman.
At noon he was to hold an open
handshaking reception in the rotunda
of a loop skyscraper.
This afternoon he will be taken for
IN auto tour of Chicago's boulevard
system. Tonight he will address a
mass meeting at the Coliseum.
Women Represented.

Iois national committeeman, formed

greeted Mrs. Hughes. The candidates
