TREE PLANTING,

There are occasional bits of evidence
that the value of trees and more trees
is appreciated. both for the manner
in which they enhance the value OF
property and improve the appear
ance of communities. 1t is interesting
to note in this connection that in the
town of Avon "a miniature forest has
been set in the space back of the
town hall. containing dozens of spruce
trees, including some beautiful spe-
cimens of the blue variety, stone pine
arbor vitae, yellow pine and hem
locks and that THE new road which
leads from the stone gates to Noun
tain View avenue has been bordered
with trees. and trees have been set
along Mountain View avenue. Lawns
have also been planted along this ave-
nue. =. an example other factory
towns might well follow Among sthe
trees which are being set out are 5000
red pine which are to be used for for
estry work next year"
Not a few cities make practice OF
setting out certain number of trees
each year and just now increased in
terest is being taken in this work as
one kind of a memorial to the boys
who gave their lives in the service oil
their country There are memorial
trees. memorial highways bordered
with such trees and memorial groves
but without any special occasion fol
the planting: of trees there is always
an opportunity TO do much valuable
work in this direction whether I'M
dertaken as a community affair or in
dividually.
Trees. are a benefit in many ways
and, though Norwich is not lacking foj
stately and attractive trees that add
beauty to streets and property i
would be a grand good idea if some
organized effort could be made to sec
that the proper attention was giveT
each year to setting out certain
number in new localities or replacing
those that have to be removed

Of memorial trees. There have been
number Of theories, but the real
reason is simple.
The favorite theory has been that
sapsuckers~ by pecking holes through
the bark of young naples. make scars
which produce the birds eye figure in
the wood during succeeding years.
Bird-pecked hickory is often cited
as an ambiguous case. yet who ever
saw birds-eye figures in hickory,
though the bark may have been per
forated like a collander by the bills
of energetic sapsuckers? The effect in
the lease of hickory is the opposite Of
birds-eye in maple the wood is dis
colored and unsightly. Some attribute
it to the action of frost. but no such
connection between cause and effect
has been shown to exist.
The explanation of the phenomenon
is simple and a person with good
magnifying glass can work it out for
himself. The bird's-eye figure is pro-
duced By casual or abnormal buds
which have their origin under the
bark of the trunk The first buds of
that kind may develop when the tree
is quite small They are rarely able
to force their way through the bark
and become branches, but they. may
live many years just under the bark.
growing in length as the trunk in
creases in size but seldom appearing
on the outside OF the bark. II one
such bud dies another will likely rise
near it and continue the irritation
which produces the fantastic growth
known as bird's-eye.
It is said the japanese produce arti-
fetal bird's-eye growth in certain
trees by inserting buds beneath The
bark The Field museum, Chicago.
has a sample of what is claimed to be
artffcially produced bird's-eye wood
from Japan.

STORIES OF TIE WAR
Erontier Closed Because of Disease


Correspondence of The Associated
ss.)-Diseases imported from Rus
STA by the way of Kiev and Odessa
are spreading to such an alarming
extent that the Ukraine government
has closed the frontiers and closely
examined civil refugees and other
former prisoners of war returning to
their homes. An investigation by the
International Red Cross Mission
shows that possibly twenty five per
cent. of the population of Lemberg
and other centers of Old GaIicia are
infected by the various forms of
typhus, dysentary. tuberculosis or
other infectious or mental and ner-
vous diseases.
The conditions are considered worse
owing to closer contact with Russia
In one hospital there are 500 cases
Of typhus and 900 cases Of social dis
seases. For a population of 5000, 600
there are but sixty physicians. Thus
far six doctors have died of typhus
and three others are ILL., The con
ditions are made worse by lack of
soaps, disfnfectants. change Of cloth
ing and shets. Virtually all the
window curtains have been requisi-
toned for use as bed clothing or for
making women's underclothes.
OF total of ESQ drugstores, 200
are without drugs. In the hospitals
all kinds of cases are treated in the
same wards
These diseases are spreading part
ly from Russia where it is affirmed
that the Red Army is contaminated
with social disease to the extent OF
seventy per cent. Many diseases al
so We're spread by Russia since the
armistice was signed Many of these
were in a horrible condition. When
set free by the authorities and told
to go home. they crowded the trains
in such numbers and under such
conditions that thousands died OF

trainlcad stopped here and discharged
500 dead. More than 5000 such I'M
fortunates now have been buried

Lack of food is making conditions

THE CHILD LABOR TAX.

Most Of the matters which are car
ried to the United States supreme
court are of more than ordinary i'm
portance, but this is particularly true
Of the federal law that places tax of
ten per cent. on the profits of estab-
hshments employing children. This
concerns the child labor problem and
there is no section of the country that
ought not to be vitality interested in
this matter.
II is true that this law has not been
enacted primarily for the purpose Of
railing revenue. In fact it is hoped
that improved conditions regarding
the. employment of children will re-
suit rather than that a dollar shall be
collected under its provision. The law
was made necessary in order 70 get at
conditions which ought not to be toll
Grated but have been tolerated in GER
tain parts Of the country because of
The refusal of states to deal with the
problems. 1t had been hoped to deal
With the matter through a federal
mid labor Law. but following the
