Senator Lodges Statement

Senator Lodges statement follows:
80 far as | can judge-and | have
had conversations with many senator's,
including members of both parties
am satisfied that a majority of the
senate feel very strongly that the
league as now presented must receive
amendment, that in its present form,
without any change. it would not be
accepted.
"To say that the amendments put
forward in the senate and formulated
by Mr.. Root on the suggestion of the
state Department, have been met, is
without foundation. Not one of the
suggestions of the senate. not one Of
the amendments proposed by Mr.. Root.
has been carried out. Some have been
entirely rejected. and where there is
an appearance of their having been
adopted, examination shows that the
new form is distinctly worse than the
old and more dangerous to the peace
of the world and to American rights
and interests.
1t is impossible now to enter upon
a detailed analysis because, although
we may suppose that the draft of the
league sent over in the press dispatches
is fairly accurate. we have no bnowl-
edge of the treaty with Germany or of
its relations to the league. The sum-
mary which was sent out was not
only incomplete, but vague and mac
curate, and it is impossible to gather
from it what the terms imposed upon
Germany in many respects really are.
There is no desire anywhere to de-
lay the treaty of peace with Germany
one moment beyond the time necessary
to understand it. but we must have it
before us i'm the official form As to
the League of Nations, the American
people must know just what they are
to be asked to agree to. By that league
they are invited to take the gravest
step ever taken By the United States
and no organization clamor, no manu-
factureG pressure OF any kind. will
swerve the senate from its high duty
OF laying before the American people
exactly what the league involves and
what it means to the United States
and to the future peace Of the world"

King Albert's Tree
in the Capitol Park a
Wonderful Specimen

The one lasting memorial of the
notable visit of the Belgium royal party
to Harrisburg is the memorial tree
planted by the King in Capitol Park to
the east of the main entrance.
The tree is known botanicaIy as
lark europoea or European larch or
tamarack. AS its name implies it is
a native of Europe, but thrives fully
as we'll in it's adopted country. 1t
lives to very old age and under con-
genial surroundings grows to a height
of 100 feet Its pyramidal habit of
growth causes it to be a stately impos-
ing tree, standing out distinctly among
the more common forms of trees.
The larch is known as a deciduous
evergreen; It has many of the charac-
teristics of the conifero or cone bear
ing trees, yet it drops its leaves in the
fall like the oaks, naples, etc. The
cypress and the gingko with the larch
are the three trees hereabouts in this
unusual class of deciduous evergreens
These form the interesting link between
the real evergreens and the deciduous
trees.
The tree planted by the King is about
fifteen years old. 1t was grown from
seed at The Berryhill Nursery just four
miles from where it now stands, hon
ored by Royalty. 1t was moved to it's
present location with a large ball of
earth and every precaution was used
to insure its growth. Ordinarily the
European larch retains its leaves until
late fall or early winter. Because of
the shock of transplanting, the tree this
year will doubtless drop it's leaves much
earlier than usual. 1t is no sign of
alarm, therefore, but the very natural
method for the tree is to adjust itself
to its new surroundings and prepare for
many years of life and growth.
1t was a notable event for Harris
burg to have the Kirg of Belgium plant
its Arbor Day tree, and no more appro-
pirate or beautiful tree could have been
selected.

coming, in for BRIDGE"
Did Lane promise YOU that to
lure you here" asked Val, smiling
indolently at Jim in the provocative
way I'd forgotten. NO; l didn't ask
them. Anne and Aunt Mollie might
have a rubber or two with Uncle
Ned and my big brown bear while
you and l discuss-things."
There was hardly perceptible
pause before the last word. 1t made
me uneasy-stirred emotions l had
barely gotten under. control and
didn't want to risk rousing again.
I'm camel" said Lane, getting
out the bridge table promptly and
without consulting his guests about
those championship players known
as Pettingill to a match with the
fair Princess Anne and me. Are
you on, folks?"
IF my bride is in form l hate to
think what she'll do to you," said
Uncle Ned. Il need her to inspire
the old man-he's kind of taken up
with other ideas tonight. Excuse
me a minute before we start, chill
dren"
Saying this, he went over and
whispered something in Jims ear
which caused my boy to laugh and
pat Uncle Ned reassuringly on the
back, with a murmured confidence
to Val.
My first uncomfortable sensations
returned twofold. I felt completely
out of things. Evidently Jim and
Uncle Ned-having been off on a
trip together-had things in COM
mon which Val and Lane and Aunt
Mollie, who had also been a-hoIi-
daying in company might share.
But / was an alien to their secrets,
and no one was kind enough or
courteous enough to think of trying
to make me feel in things and so
more at ease.
Bridge isn't my camel" 1 gasped
in chagrin a while later.
Lane, my partner, had doubled
Aunt Mollie's no-trumper; and after
1 failed to take him out in my long
est suit, he declared two diamonds,
which /, with good spades in my
hand, let go by. Then Uncle Ned
jumped the bid to three hearts: and
1 was too frightened-or too intent
on the earnest conversation between
Jim and Nal-to gamble on my
spades or Lanes diamonds, of which
l held three. OF course it turned out
that Aunt Mollie held no spades, and
Uncle Ned had no diamonds. So
they established a cross-ruff and,
trumping our best cards, made four
tricks and the game.

hated to spoil Lanes game; and

worse than ever. Then I had what

Mollie unsuspiciously.

Then why couldn't Val have tele-

fore l could stop and consider the
unwiSdom of so revealing my feel
ings.
Come, come, my dear, don't get
mad because Lane and make up
a little party and take our girls for
granted" replied Jim easily; and at
once l relented, ashamed of my
burst of temper and the quick flare
of jealousy all about nothing.
'I'll be ready in a jiffy," 1 said.
Just let me give my nails polish,
so they'll shine at bridge even if

"Vanity-Vanity thy mama is

to my dressing table, however, and
holding out his hands for a little
buffing.
In a minute our preparations
were made; and, in the laughing
mood our stunt induced. we raced
up to the elevator and up to VaIs.
Lane answered our ring; and, in
the very breath with which he
greeted us, the big brown bear
turned and flung out a seemingly
admonitory:
It's Anne and Jim, folks"
There was a scuffling and moving
about of things, almost as if this
were a warning. And it seemed to
my alert nerves that Lane held us in
the hall moment or two. Then
Val swept out and welcomed us roy
ally When we got into the living
room there were Uncle Ned and
Aunt Mollie, and Val followed their
hearty greeting with little
apology:

'Bellefonte, Pa, Oct. 27.-For the
first time since electrocution was
made the death penalty in Pennsyl-

GATHERING DF
MUSHROOMS IS
PARTICULAR JOB
STATE BOTANICAL EXPERT is
WILLING TO GIVE POINTERS
ON EDIBLE VARITIES

Recent rains and rather warm
weather are causing mushrooms to
appear in Michigan by the thousands
and a warning has been sent out by
DR.. f. A. Bessey, Professor Of botany
at the Agricultural college at Lansing
that indiscriminate picking Of mush-
roous by people who do not know
the individual varities is very dan
gerous proceeding.
"Whfle only 20 or 80 of the six or
seven thousand kinds of mushrooms
ere really very dangerous, the chan
ces are too great to warrant the use
of any mushroom which is not abso-
lutely known to the collector" says
DR.. Bessy. "The danger is all the
greater in that in some cases the
symptoms of poisoning do not show
up until some hours after the mush-
room is eaten. 1t is then too late to
get rid of the poison by emetics.
There is no one rule by which one
can safely distinguish the edible from
poisonous mushrooms. The silver
spoon test relied upon by some with
the idea that poisonous mushroom
will turn the spoon black when cooked
with them, while wholesome mush-
rooms will net tarnish it, is only good
to this degree-that the blackening
merely indicates that the mushroom

CHILD WELFARE
WORK IN NEED
OF ASSISTANCE
WORTHLY BUT WELL-NIGH UN-
NOTICED CAUSE SHOULD BE
BOOSTED BY EVERYONE

Mr.. f. E. Cook has become very
much interested in child welfare work
and is carrying it on to the best of
his ability. on small but commend
able scale.
A room in the basement of the city
hall has been selected as a place to
which people of this community can
bring all clothing and shoes that have
been outgrown but are still wearable.
These things will be given to needy
and deserving families.
Mr.. Cook is trying to get this ex-
cellent work started and is doing so
entirely without remuneration. He
certainly should be commended for
his kindly spirit and aided in evefy
way. Let us all do what we can to
help the families in our community
who are less fortunate than ourselves.
There are many more such families
than we can imagine and the help we
can so easily give them will be Of un-
told benefit.
Let everyone Of us ransack our at
tics and clothes presses and unearth
everything in the line Of childrens'
clothing that has been laid aside and
is not in use. Mothers, get the chill
dren interested. inject a spirit of help
fulness and community welfare in
them, and then see what they will be
anxious to do along this line.
Anyone knowing of worthy fami-
lies who need assistance will be help
ing the family and showing their own
kindly spirit by notifying Mr.. Cook.
A live and growing organization
like this will make Belding better,
which is still more important than
making It bigger.
