practical joker is not tolerated but there are scores of traditional Marine pranlls which make the life better than vaudeville.
 If at first a new recruit is not in clined to play or takes life too serious ly, he soon learns the real spirit of play in the games taught with the Swedish exercises.
 Stingeree
 Stingeree is the nafne of sca-going turtle which has a powerful tail, which he uses most effectively as stinger. The Marines have a caveman game of the most primitive sort which they call "stingeree." Whether the turtles play the game or not is unknown, but the game is all that its name implies. The men face the center of a large circle, bend over with eyes closed, placing their hands behind them with the palms upward and open. One man walks on the outside of the circle with a piece of heavy rope which he drops in the outstretched palm of a member of the circle. Instantly the latter turns whipping the unsuspecting puddle to his right about the legs, The man so struck must run once

administration the importance of tree planting, particularly along motor highways. The Lincoln Highway As sociation has big plans under way for tree planting along that route. Here is the way Governor Capper approves of tree planting:
 T am most heartily in accord with the idea Of planting memorial trees for our soldiers. It is most appropri- ate, feel, that we should have living trees as memorials for our soldier dead whose deeds will live for all time.
 Cold marble or granite would not be wholly suitable to commemorate the lives of men who died that democ- racy might live. Undoubtedly fitting 1 tablets and monuments bearing their names will be erected and this is right | and proper. But more than the ordi- nary mortals, these men are still with us and 1t is appropriate to indicate 1 this by dedicatirg trees to their mem | ory, for trees will radiate more fully the spirit of the new life of the world they fought for; they indicate to a greater degree the protection their death has brought us and point to- ward a fuller growth of the ideals for which they made their supreme sacri- fee.
 T shall be glad to cooperate with l you 10 the fullest extent in encourag-

ing Kansas as a state, to take up the idea. We have several great interna- tional highways traversing the State along which these trees could be planted.
 "Theidea fits right in with the work of the Forestry department of the State Agricultural College, which In recent years has been making an eff fort toward the planting of hardy, long-iived trees adapted to the climatic
 conditions of thts State. I shall call upon the institution to assist and will pass to the new administration the
 suggestion that this be the dominating feature of Arbor Day in this State
 next spring.

 Birds And Trees
 Planting of trees means more tc bird life than can be estimated, for it will doubtless surprise Q great many people to know that trees are a life and death matter with the birds. Many of them will work through ev- cry daylight hour 10 save trees. l have known people to hunt woodpeck- ers-the bird that spends most of it's time saving trees from the pests under the bark.
 Some people suppose that ma iority of the birds go South for the winter This is not true for many of them find no snow too deep to keep ~up their battle. The National Asso- citation Of Audubon Societies most heartily indorses the plan of the American Forestry Association to plant memorial trees and in that way direct tho thought of the people to the importance of our forests now so sadly depleted"

Then everyone sits up in his bunk anG advice is plentiful. One advises him that the Major found his bunk too comfortable and took it for himself. Another tells him that someone from another bunk house needed it and took it away because it was not i1 use when it should be. He is lectured on the evils attaching to the movies and told that picture show fans in camp are a nuisance because they come in after taps and awaken every one by stumbling about in the dark.

Marry Plans

Plans for the planting take many phases The Lincoln Highway Asso- citation for instance is planning the planting of trees along that route. In New Orleans inc women's clubs plan the planting of beautiful palms along the roadways leading 10 that city. In Kansas Governor Arthur Capper is urging the biggest tree-planting cam paign Kansas ever saw. Governor Goodrich, of Indiana, turns the matter over to Richard Lieber, Secretary of the State Forestry Board, and cam paign by counties is being mapped out.
 The American Forestry Association has suggested to the Board of Com missioners of the District that an Avenue of the Allies be planted there with trees in honor Of the na- tions allied against autocracy. In Pennsylvania, Robert g. Conklin, the Commissioner of Forestry, heartily in dorses the plan in these words, "The Value of the Memorial Tree over the | inanimated stone or bronze lies in the

around the circle to his original place. In the meantime if his pursuer can keep up with him he beats him with the rope to his hearts content. The rope is dropped into some other bud dies hand and so the game rushes on. It is full of pep. All Marine games are. None of them; in fact, would be appropriate at an afternoon tea.

 At the command Right shoulder arms the boys will pull the rifles up to their shoulders with both hands as though they were climbing ropes, thus bringing down another tirade from the star actor in the travesty Each act so true to raw recruit life, even though grotesquely exaggerated, brings q howl from the audience of Marines who from time to time give the ser geant-pretender advice. Often such scenes become so real to the actors that actual tears course down the cheeks of the anxious recruits and the pseudo-sergeant becomes so officious that he often causes a real scuffle in the ranks of his awkward squad.
 Fun While Snapping In
 Three weeks on the rife range would be monotonous indeed were it not for these same diverting playlets, which help pass the time spent in waiting between shifts on the firing line. Marines pay such particular at tention to form in shooting that proc ess requires much training and is called 'snapping in" Because of con stant firing from the prone position on the hard ground, old padded coats are used. These are distributed among the men, who add such pads as they see fit and rip the sides under the arm pits to give the arms greater freedom while "snapping in" Incidentally they paint their names, nicknames, or various camp slang phrases on the backs and it Is an entertainment in itself to mix with these withholding rangers just to read the inscriptions on their backs. One will read Sherman spake wisely" another Going Over the Top" with the picture of a barber shaving a Marine underneath; one reading Squads East" and still an other ''On to Berlin" Lonesome Luke from Bloody Gu1ch," Saint" Swamp Angel from Florida" and Chicago kid' adorns various husky backs "Where Is My Bunk"

 William Howard Taft a Nice-Presi- dent of the American Forestry Asso- citation, is among those to indorse the planting of such memorial trees. The Association Is urging that the proper setting of Memorial Trees be included in any memorial plan that a munici- Dality may adopt.
 Forests Saved France
 Authorities agree that the forests Of France kept the Hun from keeping the dinner engagement in Paris" says Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Forestry Association "and the United States should feel the deepest sympathy for France over the loss of her magnificent forests. Be hind the lines it was the French forests which were called upon to pro- vide a large part of the timber needed for war purposes.
 About one and a quarter million acres of forest land lay within the ter ritory occupied by the German ad- vance on Paris and it will requif many years to get these forests into anything like pTe-war conditions. This | is one of the great sacrifices France i has been compelled to make as mil lions of her population were depend ent in one way or another on wood working industries"

 Three deep" another circle game which teaches man to become a veritable artful dodger, the tug of war, leap frog, neck wrestling and the field and track events are generally played for an hour or more each day, but it would take too much space to tell about all of the Marine sports in which the element of play enters. Swim
 ming, too, and surf bathing in the Atlantic, add to the zest of devil dog glng.
 Training Marines in the science of fighting on land, sea and air is the sternest of realities. but the boys just will be boys in spite of hard work It is the spirit, so characteristic of
 the Marines, to play with the same ardor with which they train and to work as though it were a jolly game that has made these good-natured Ieathernecks the Devil Dogs" that they are.

 TFiE TREE
 By Joyce kilmer l think that shall never sec A poem lovely as tree A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the ealth's sweet flowing
 breast; A tree that looks to God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may n summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me. But only God can make tree.
