FOREST SERVICE
APPROVES CUSTOM
i'our or Five MILAN Trees Will be
Felled this Year for Santa Claus
to Hang Presnts On
(AasocIated Press)

Washington, Dec. 11--Between four
and five million Christmas trees will
be felled this year to brighten Amer
lean homes, churches and community
ccnters, and delight the hearts of the
children. This is the estimate of the
forest service, which says that the
total of trees used in this country
each yuletide season equals approxi-
mately the combined consumption Of
England, Scotland and Wales and is
about 20 per cent greater than that
Of Germany
Forest service officials are opposed
to any movement to discourage the
use of these trees for Christmas pur-
poses. To the argument that the cut
ting and use of the trees is a great
waste, they say that the custom is so
old, so well grounded and so venerat-
ed. that even il it were economically
somewhat indefensible, these aspects
will and should continue to outweigh
economic considerations.
Placed all together, the four or five
millions of trees used annually would
make mighty forest, but forest SER
vice officers point out that many OF
them come from fields which are be-
ing cleared for farming purposes OF
from forests which need thinning to
protect the more sturdy trees. They
also argue that trees are for use and
that there is no other use to which
they could be put that would contri
butte so much to the joy Of mankind
ms teir use by children on this one
great holiday.
OF the total of Christmas trees con.
sumed in this country, 100000 are
used in New York state and New Eng.
land, the forest service says. Blacl
and red spruce are very commonly
seen in New England for Christmas
celebrations and in New York ant
Philadelphia. In Illinois and Ohio the
local demand is supplied partly with
nursery grown Norway spruce. Pines
are in great demand for Christina.
trees when fir and spruce are no
available. Throughout Maryland
Virginia and in Washington, ID c.. tn,
scrub pine finds a way into man,
homes, while in southern Wyoming
the Lodge pole pine is almost tn,
only species available.
Hemlock is often used, but only il
the absence Of other varieties. Re,
cedar. says the forest service, is no
despised where better trees can no
be had as in the treeless states an,
often in Tennessee and Pennsylvania
In California red cedar and incens
cedar are not uncommon. The swamp
Of Michigan, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa furnish the markets of Chicag,

Of the plains states. while Maine. Ne,
Hampshire, Vermont. the Berkshir

Damages Refused by
Supreme Court for
Fall Due to High Heels

Lincoln, Neb., May 15.-(Special.) J
The Proprietor of a store is not an
insurer against accidents to custom
ers, but is bound to exercise reason
able care and prudence to keep the
stairways therein, which the public
is tacitly invited to use, safe for that
purpose. The fact that customer
falls upon stairway does not raise
any presumption of negligence on
the part of the proprietor of the
store.
So says the supreme court in re-
versing the judgment of the poug las
county district court in suit
brought by Ennid M. Broadston
stcn against the Beddeoa Clothing
company Of Omaha for personal in
juries received in falling down a
stairway in the defendants store.
Miss Broadston alleged that she
caught the heel of one shoe in the
carpet, which she said was loose at
the head of the stairway, and fell.
The defendant claims that the young
woman was wearing shoe with
such high heel that it was unsafe
under ordinary conditions to wear
and it was the heel and not the car
pet, which it denied was loose,
which caused the fall.

Cuban President Says

The present crop, President Men
