UNCLE SAM WILL ENDEAV0R
TO AMERICANIZE IMMIGRANTS
Launches Campaign to Induce 100000
Non-EngIish Speaking Residents
to Attend Night School.

Uncle Sam has inaugurated a great
america First" campaign. The object
of this movement is to induce 100000
non-English speaking immigrants in
the United States to attend night
school and learn the language of
America. The campaign is directed
by the United States bureau of edu-
cation, which is a part of the depart
ment of the interior.
The commissioner of education has
designated men dealing with the immi-
grants problems from every angle to
serve on n national committee of 100
to further the purposes of the cam
paign. This action is the result of
resolutions adopted by two Americana
zation conferences held during the re-
cent meetings of the National Educa-
tlonal association in Detroit and in
New York, at which times it was de-
cided that the removal of the inability
of the foreign-born residents to speak
English could be fastened by concert
ed effort end cooperation of all inter
ested agencies and individuals work
Ing intensively on a nationwide basis
prior to or Immediately subsequent to
the opening of evening schools in Oc-
tober.
Letters of appointment were sent to
representative industrial leaders, edu-
Gators, labor and immigration officials,
state officials, editors, officers of pa
triotic, civic and racial organizations
and public spirited citizens in every
section of the United States. The
function of the committee will be to
cooperate with the bureau in enlist
ing the active interest of school super
intendents, chambers of commerce,
commercial organizations, Industrial
establishments, labor unions and pri-
vate organizations.
For the purpose of enlisting native
and foreign-born American citizens in
the America First" campaign an en-
rollment blank headed "Sign this card
and join the Americanization move
ment" will be used. Thousands of
these cards, asking each signer for his
personal help, will be disseminated in
states and cities where immigrants re-
side. Through the active assistance
secured in this manner the bureau ex-
poets to be able to reach thousands of
immigrants which it would reach in no
other way. Cooperating subcommit-
tees will be appointed in the principal
immigrant communities.

FALL WORK INTERESTING
BY ELIZABETH VAN eENTHUYsEN

In the cheery October days-the
days of brown ale and invigorating at
mosphere-the garden comes fully
into its own. There is not only the
fascination of working among the
plants and flowers, but there is pre-
paratiOn for the spring. If the au-
tumn is neglected there will be no re-
alization of any spring hopes.
Planning and foresight are essential to
garden success, and the man who had
the most pleasure in his October work
will reap the greatest reward when
the springtime comes. Perennials
must be transplanted. Good, safe
places are to be found for them, with
good covering of leaves to keep away
the chill of cold days.
Transplanting is real work. A rainy
day helps tighten the task because
there is no need for watering or shad-
Ing the plants. A trowelful of manure
under each plant will lead the3neigh-
bors next spring to wonder why your
foXgloves send up spires five feet high
instead of mere three feet that less
carefully handled plants attain.
Don't let the perennials crowd each
other. Where the clumps have grown
so closely as to crowd, cut them in di-
visions with a sharp spade and reset
them in good, rich soil.
In October the perennials will be
ripening their seed, which process they
begin in September. The seed can be
saved in separate colorS If the flower
stalks were marked while they were
in bloom. 1t is worth the while to
save the seed, even though it has to
be mixed. The mixed seed can be
sown in out-of-the-way places. Holly
hooks. foxgloves, poppies, Canterbury
Bells, Sweet William and Coreopsis
will produce large envelopes of seed.
1t must not be forgotten that sup
ply of dead leaves has to be laid in
when leaves begin to fall. They are
the natural blankets that are provid-
ed for the tuclSing away of the chill
dren of the garden in the winter beds.
A little addition to the leaf supply,
carefully packed away each day in
sacks OF barrels instead of wastefully
burning them will save many flow
ers and pay dividend in pleasure and
profit.
Among the wealthy folk of the East
the fall is being used for general gar
den work. Vincent Astor is having
remarkable lot of work done at his
country place, Rhinecliffe, on the Hud-
son river. He found that the roads
and walks were in many cases badly
laid out. They were crooked and
lacked symmetry in keeping with the
estate. So he has had his roads

TREES TURN TO STONE
Petrified Forest of Arizona
Owned by Uncle Sam.
Study of These Relics of the Age of
Reptiles Is Full of Interest to
the Geologist.

The "petrified forest" of Arizona is
one of the most interesting possess
sions of Uncle Sam. There are really
a series of petrified forests which lie
q short distance south of Adamana, on
the line of the Santa Fe railroad.
There are four forests" included
in a government reservation called
"Petrified Forest National Monument"
created by presidential proclamation
in 1906. The name forest" is not
strictly appropriate, for the petrified
tree trunks are all PROSTATE and are
broken into sections. The logs are
the remains of giant trees that grew
in Triassic time, the age of reptiles.
The trees were related to the Norfolk
Island pine, now used for indoor dec
Grafton. Doubtless they grew in a
nearby region and, after falling, drift
ed down a water-course and lodged
in some eddy or sand bank. Later
they were buried by sand and clay,
finally to depth of several thousand
feet. The conversion to stone was eff
fected by gradually replacement of
the woody material by silica in the
form called chalcedony, deposited by
underground water. A small amount
Of iron oxides deposited at the same
time has given the brilliant and beau
tiful brown, yellow, and red tints which
appear in much of the material.
Some of the tree trunks are six feet
in diameter and more than 100 feet
in length. In the first forest there
is fine trunk that forms a natural
bridge over a small ravine, the water
having first washed away the overly
ing clay and sand and then, following
crevice, worked out the channel I'M
derneath. The length of this log is
110 feet, and the diameter four feet at
the butt and 11A at the top.
The petrified woods are beautiful
objects for study. When thin slices
are carefully ground down to thick
ness of 0.003 inch or less and placed
under the microscope they show per-
fectly the original wood structure, all
the cells being distinct, though now
they are replaced by chalcedony. By
studying the sections f. II. Knowlton
of the United States geological sur
vey, department of the interior, has
found that most of these araucarian
trees were of the species Araucarioxyl-
on ariZonicum, tree now extinct. 1t
is known to have lived at the same
geologic time also in the east-central
part of the United States, where the
remains of some of it's associates have
also been found.

SOMETHING ABOUT DAHLIAS
BY G. 7. GEOFFRY.

If you want dahlia roots for next
year, plant them in small pots and let
them remain all summer. Keep them
over winter like old roots; and start
them again in the spring. do not say
this is absolute, but 1t is one of the
best ways 1 know to raise dahlias sue
cessfully.
1t is the claim of dahlia growers
that in dividing the roots almost all
the varieties will degenerate. This is
the reason we have so few good flow
ers.
A good dahlia should bloom from
July until frost; and if it does not it
is not worth keeping. There are
dahlias that will.
I Dahlias can be grown from seeds.
They grow stronger than from cut
tings and roots, but it is difficult to
find good seeds.
Many believe that cutting will not
flower and make roots and keep over
winter, but that is not true. That is
the way they are raised all over the
continent.
The mode of planting has much to
do with the final results of the beauty
of dahlias.

Lack of Fingers Didn't
Bother This MarkSman

Rejected for enlistment in the
United States marine corps be-
cause the trigger" and middle
fingers were missing from his
right hand, a raw-boned ap-
plicant from Oklahoma, went
from the recruiting station in st.
Louis to a shooting gallery near
by, and made 25 straight hits on
a moving target with n small
caliber rifle, while the sergeant
who had rejected him looked on.
Il can shoot better with my
little finger than some men can
with their trigger fingers" the
Oklahoman said after his per-
formance at the gallery, land l
cannot understand why you
won't take me-"
The marine sergeant explained
that hand minus several fin
gers would look bad when en-
cased in white gloves and that
the loss of the fingers would seri-
ously interfere with the proper
handling of the rifle at drills.
But the Oklahoma recruit was
unconvinced and went back home
in the belief that the government
doesn't know good man when
1t sees one.

JAPANESE. TABLE TREE

There are some curious old trees in
Japan that have just the opposite
qualities to those which are found in
the United States. Out in our great
forest country, when tree has
reached the dignity of 100 years of un-
disputed residence in any one COM
munity, it rears its proud old head
and stands as landmark and lead
ing citizen of the forest.
Japan supplies some very strange
specimens that live to be 100 years of
age without ever getting off an ordi-
nary table. They are stunted, gnarled
little gnomes of trees, made to dwell
all their lives in the prison of a bowl,
where water Is placed to give tiny
landscape effect and miniature houses
are built under the shade of the
stunted, miserable little semblance of
forest giant.
In the picture one sees how the JAP
anese use the dwarfed trees for home
decorative effect. AS all things are
really relative, the tree preserves its
dignity by being as much larger than
the miniature house than a real tree
would loom above sure-enough dwell
ing.
But it is dwarf, nevertheless, and
den decoration when one finds a
stunted tree that, like Peter Pan,
never will grow up.
