WHERE OUR IMPORTS
COME FROM: CAMPHOR

Washington D. c, April First OF
Ia series of bulletins issued by the Ma
tional Geographic Society on Where
Our Imports Come From" is that deal
ing with the camphor industry in For
mosa, now owned by Japan.
"Formosa holds a practical monop-
oily in the worlds market of this
valuable drug" SAYS Alice Ballantina
kirJasson, writer of communication
to the society on this subject.
The life of a camphor worker is
indeed an adventurous one: he is never
safe from the Formosa head hunters
Although a woodsnan- with axe
never moves except in the company of
an armed guard. there is always dan
ger Of an ambush.
Tales of the camphor workers re-
call the days of our pioneer fathers
in the times of the tomahawk. the
poisoned arrow and the scasptng
knife And yet if this menace had not
existed. the camphor forests would
have disappeared long ago. Thanks to
the head hunters, there are still large
tracts OF virgin Camphor forests IN
Forrnosa.
'Camphor trees grow hest on mod
crate. we'll drained slopes, not over
4 COO feet in elevation. where the sun $
RAYS can rach them
Nowhere else in the world have
these trees attained such height and
girth as in Formosa. In the past.
trees with basal circumference Of
from thirty-fve to forty feet have
been noted. but these have inevitably
fallen victims TO the woodsmans axe.
Perhaps in the uncharted forests.
where the savage still holds sway
more Ct these noble specimens still
grow unscathed. At present a cam
irhor tree with a basal circumference
of twenty feet is considered a very
ample peeimen.
in point of view Of value, few
trees tar rival the camphor- An 4v-
erage tree. say with a basal eircum-
ference Of twelve feet. Will yield
about fifty picuIs of camphor tapproSi-
nlately $3.50 pounds. which. at the
present market price, is worth about
IS. zoe.
strictly speaking, there are AZ
camphor forests. as tAe camphor laurel
is only one Of II numocr OF trees
growing together, The camphor trees
are unusually beautiful. with shapeiN
trunks and wide spreading branches
i,rofusety covered with graceful leaves
of a soti green.
Native stills are scattered here and
there throughout the districts where
crude camphor is collected, packed in
tins and carried down precipitous
mountain paths on coolies backs to
the nearest railway line. whence IL
Gnes TO the refinery at Taihoku,
The stills are operated in a simple
manner Camphor chips are placed In
4 emp retort over boiling water and
as the camphor vaporizes IL passes
through pipes into submerged Vats
which are so arranged that cool water
from a mouptain stream can run over
them to accelerate REHABILITATION
After the camphor has crystaiiizcd the
watts are opened, aud the product Is
placed on wooden troughs to allow
whatever free oil there may be to
drain off This oil will yield 30 per
cent of crude camphor in the process
of refining"

BODY or JEAKnE De KAY
FOUND IN GREAT LAKE

Chicago, April 5--The body OF
Jeanne Anne DeKay, the twenty-year-
old daughter of John DeKay, million
aire globe -trotter, now living in Swift
erland. was found floating in Lake
Michigan today. The positive identi-
fication Of the body as that OF the
young heiress by Mrs. Gertrude Howe
Britton, of Hull House, where the girl
stayed as the protege Of Miss Jane
Adams dispelled the mystery OF her
disappearance on December 80 and
brought to an end world wide
search.
Coroner's Physician Burmeister,
after post norton examination of
the body said the girl met death by
drowning and not by violence. BY
curious incident the body was discov-
cred off the municipal pier. where
Jeanne was fond of going alone to
commune with herself.
The theory that the girl had COM
mitted suicide was entertained by the
police and her relatives when she van
ished last December. Her life was
melancholy because her face had been
disfigured by peck marks. She had
once tried to end her life by swallow
ing a potion recommended by one o.
her girl friends as cure for her facial
blemishes after the application had
failed
But this theory was soon over
Swallowed by others evolved which
held that the girl was the victim OF
her fathers enemies
John Dekay, Sr. had antagonized
certain elements in Mexico, where he
made his fortune in the packing bust
ness under a concession granted by
President Diaz. He was also said to
have figured in international in
trigues
And then one wintry night she van
ished com pietely from the face of the
earth.
The strange case slowly took on an
international aspect and enlisted the
attention of every police chief in
>America. One of the theories aa-
vanced at that time, and which. next
to the suicide theory, gained promi-
hence. was that Jeanne had been kid
mapped as a result of her fathers par
tlcipation in Mexican politics
