EucaIyptus Valuable Tree.

Eucalyptus will grow under many
adverse conditions, so long as they are
protected from frost. The young trees
cannot stand frost, and this fact has
restricted the growth Of the species
to certain favorable sections of CALI
fornia and the Southwest. On the
other hand, the trees will thrive on
very poor soil and they do not require
very much attention. Some of the
largest commercial plantations, MAIN
tanned by railroad companies for tie
making purposes, are located along the
shores of the Pacific ocean near San
Diego. where their principal moisture
comes from the heavy fogs that roll in
from the sea, and Which are absorbed
by the leaves.

REGISTER WOMEN ALIENS.
President Takes Steps to NuIIify Work
OF Women Spies.

OF women spies.
WashingtOn.-Presi Wilson on
April 20 issued a proclamation calling
for the registration of all female enemy
aliens of Austro- Hungarian or German
birth.
All women of these nationalities in
the District of Columbia who have
been residents in the district will be
given until May to leave. Female
transients here will be given until April
%.
Details as to when and where female
enemy aliens may register will be made
public in the course of few days by
Attorney General Gregory.
The administrative machinery to be
used by the government in this work
will be the same as now employed for
the registering of male enemy aliens
police departments of cities and post
masters in smaller communities.
The operation of the regulations pro-
hibiting enemy aliens from entering
prohibited areas without permit will
not apply to German women until a
date to be fixed by the attorney gen.
eral. The object of this, says state
ment made by the attorney. generals
office, is so that arrangements may be
made by women to apply for permits
and careful investigation may be
made before the issuance of permits.
Any German women in any prohibit
ed area after the time set for their
departure will be subject to arrest and
internment. ~

Director McAdoo Tells Men Good Word
Will Be Sent Out About May 5,
The Wage Increase to Date
From January I.

Observation-Disclosures General Nc
Adoo on Monday sent message to all
of the employees of the railroad admin
istration giving them practical assur-
ance that they would receive a sub
stantial increase in wages. He tells
them the good word will be sent about
May 5, Immediately after his return on
the completion of the Liberty loan
drive.
The director general asks the men
to show their patriotism and proper
spirit by lending all the money they
can" in buying Liberty loan bonds.
The wage increase will date from
January 1, and the director general
passes along the broad hint that the
increase will be four months velvet,
and no better use could be made of it
than in turning this to the support OF
the war, while they will receive Ia
per cent year interest. No indication
of the increase is given.
Reaches Decision.
The wage adjustment borad has fin
ishad it's decision and is ready to sub
NIT the findings to the director gen.
eral on May 4. 1t is generally believed
that the advance will average about
20 per cent. This will mean the cut
ting of melon worth something like
$250,OOO,OOO for the employees. 1t will
be divided, in view of the high cost of
living, so the more poorly paid men
will receive the greater proportionate
increase.

 England is going through her trash heaps and gathering material for thousands of pounds of ammunition. She is raking in all her old tin cans to help make up for the shortage in tin metal.
 During the last fiscal year we ship ped to our allies s44,O00,000 more pounds of meats, fats, dairy products and vegetable oils than during the year preceding.

EMPLOYERS PLAN ID USE CRIPPLED
 MEN AFTER WAR

New York, August 17.-Thousands of factories, shops and offices in the United States are planning to open their doors to soldiers and sailors who may return home handicapped by wounds so serious as to force these men to enter new trades and industries.
 Already field agents employed by the Red Cross Institute for Crippled and Disabled Men in this city are at work demonstrating to employers of labor that a man who has lost an arm or leg may prove to be valu- able worker capable of maintaining himself in comfort if not in affluence; for, with the allowance made by the government to the returned fighter wages earned ty labor would place him on a better footing financially than he was before the war.
 Douglas c. McMurtrie, director of the Red Cross institute, has knowl- edge of hundreds of typical cases of men who have teen crippled in indus try and in battle. Such men, accord ing to MT. McMurtrie, instead of be- coming Respondent derelicts or mere pensioners, have learned trades and professions which have made them happy and successful.
 A mechanic who enlisted in the Princess Patritia's regiment and who was wounded and returned to Canada spent three months in convalescent hospital and now earns, it is said, double his former pay, having taken advantage of mechanical drawing and arithmetic classes carried on at the institution. Writing to the hospital instructor, he said: "At present. since my discharge from military service, am, technically, "a. better man all around: l am able now to hold a job as foreman in a machine shop, with more than twice the salary I was get ting before.'
 A former private in the Thirteenth battalion, before enlisting was getting
