A TREE THAT WOULD BUILD
A GOOD SIZED HOUSE

A tree six feet through at the
stump and containing nine huge saw
logs was recently cut on the Coconino
National Forest of Arizona, according
to a report received from the Forest
Supervisor at Flagstaff. Five of the
logs were decayed, but nevertheless
the tree contained over 1900 board
feet of sound lumber,--enough to
build good sized house. The age of
the giant was 400 years.
paul Bunyan must have overlook
ed this tree" was the comment of Sup
ervisor Guthrie in reporting its de-
mise. Paul Bunyan, as all lumbermen
know, was the mythical giant lumber
jack who cut the highest trees, ate the
biggest pancakes, and drove the larg-
est oxen known to history.

PHYSICALLY UNFIT
SOLDIERS TO PASS

Captain Oscar F. Temple, acting
adjutant general, received an order
from Brigadier A. s. Mills of the
general staff of the army, containing
an order stating that all militiamen,
who have been turned back by the
federal mastering officers on account
of physical disabilities, shall be mus.
tered in, all defects to be waived, un-
less SO bad, as to positively prohibit
the service of the applicant in the
field.
The order containing copy of a
telegram sent to all examining Off
GERS, which is as follows:
".You are authorized to waive de-
fects in cases pertaining to officers
and enlisted men of the national
guard in accordance with your judg-
ment, defects to be noted in each case.
Please notify commanders Of any pro-
tested cases will be referred direct
to the war department"
The lifting of the ban, will serve to
let in thousands of guardsmen who
have been turned back by the medical
officers. Arizona had about four per
cent Of the men sent with the first
regiment refused admittance. In the
Eastern states, where not as much
attention was paid to physical exam
irations, in some cases as many as
forty per cent of the men were turned
back.
1t will also probably mean, accord
iIg to Capt. Temple, that the men
who have been turned back will be re-
called to the colors, to serve at the
discretion of the examining officers.

DRIFTED ACROSS THE PACIFIC

bia After Twenty-fou Days.


A story of eight japanese fishermen
who drifted all the way across the Pa
cific ocean in small fishing boat, land
ing after twenty-four days of hard
ships on the British Columbian shore
reached the bureau of navigation iI
consular dispatches.
The narrative tells how the fisher
men, caught off the harbor of Shimoda
Japan, in a storm that carried away
their vessels mainmast and rudder
were driven eastward by ocean cur
rents, helpless, and how toward the
end Of their trip they were half starved
The boat grounded on one Of the small
uninhabited Islands that dot the Brit
lsh Columbian shore, where the mer
remained until picked up by a passing
steamer.
Only one Of the party, the owner OF
the boat, suffered any serious Ill eff
fects from the trip. He is now in {
Prince Rupert hospital.
The boat was of the type common
along the japanese coast, fitted with
cooking utensils. 1t became water
logged in the storm that stripped it o.
sails. and after first attempts the Jap
anese made no further effort to direc
its course.

He suggests minimum expenditure

This should range from 81 cents 10 81

are content with 4 cents.
One-fifth az the 219 cities make n

Efficiency Was Not considsred.
Mr.. Schneider lays emphasis on tn
fact that his survey made no attemp
to consider the efficiency of the work
attempted. but only whether or not II
was attempted.
When We reflect on the partial thor
oughness with which their slender
staffs compel them to perform their
work" the report says, the conclusion
becomes inevitable that public healtl

Another striking result of the inves
