"save The Big Trees" Is Urged

The oldest living entities
on earth are the sequoias, the
giant trees of the California
mountains. Before Rome was
built on its seven hills, when
Athens was in its, glory and
Darius, the Persian, crossed
the Hellespont, the patriarchs
of today were loo-foot strip
lings.
1t required thousands of
years to produce these con-
temporaries of Marc Antony
and Diogenes. They will still
be hale and vigorous, a natur-
al cathedral ofliving columns,
when the Great War is as
remote as the Crusades are
todsy-if we have sense,
vision, love and generosity
enough to save these sole
survivors of the ante
Christian era from being split
into grape stakes and shingles.
To preserve these trees for
posterity the Save the Red
woods League" was organized
with Franklin K. Lane as
president. 1t will mean the
