as it is often called, ranges from
Massachusetts and South Ontario west
through the southern half of the Lake
States to Middle Nebraska, to Central
Texas and Northern Florida, American
walnut was called "Dent-soo-kwa-
none" by the Indians of New York.
Walnut Is Dying Out
The American walnut is being fast
depleted, the Forestry Association
points out, and in Pennsylvania the
State Forestry Department has under
taken extensive seed-planting in an
effort to restore it. One hundred and
fifty bushels of seed have been planted
in especially prepared ground in
Mount Alto, and 100000 seedlings
should be produced from them next
spring.
The hickory is an American tree
of the walnut family, six or seven
species of which grow in the eastern
section of the United States. The
white, shagbark, or shell bark, hick-
DRY, distinguishable from the other
species by it's bark, which peels off,
grows in the Northeastern States, and
furnishes the best hickory nut.
There are many points in favor of
the maple, botanists and foresters be-
lieve. Although nine or ten varieties
of the tree were originally found in
! this country, others have been intro
duced from the "old world" for orna-
ment and shade. The hard or sugar
maple is the principal source of maple
sugar, while the round-leaved maple
tree, which grows to a height of forty
feet, yields a heavy wood that is in
valuable for ornamental work.

Albanians Want
America Olives

Tirana, Observation-Disclosures, where
every hillside is thick with olives,
wants to import it's olives from Amer
lea. The demand for the American
product has grown up since the Amer
leans reached the country and intro
duced, for the first time, the bottled
green olive as table delicacy.
The Albanian never dreamed of pre-
serving and eating green olives until
the Red Cross workers imported few
cases of the fruit, as prepared in
America, for their personal consump
ton and invited their native friends
to taste the unfamiliar dainties. UI
to that time the people of the country
picked their olives only when they
were ripe and black and preserved
them in strong brine, which robbed
them of all their piquant flavor. The
fruit was sold by weight from oper
watts, which stand beside the doorways
of the small shopkeepers collecting
all the dust raised by the passing traf
fic in the grimy streets.
Those Albanians who have been
favored with a taste Of the plump
green olives imported from the United
States have unanimously declared that

Should the United States have a
rational tree? ..... @.
The American Forestry Association
is about to launch drive for votes
from citizens in every State on the
subject.
Simultaneous with the awarding of
class programmes, when the schools
open within fortnight, will come the
announcement that children the coun-
try over are called upon to join in
this expression of national opinion.
The votes of the juniors will be
given as much consideration by the
association as will the opinions Of
their parents. The children will be
urged, moreover, to vote as individ-
uals and not to first confer on the
subject with their elders.
The subject already has stimulated
much interest among foresters, botan.
lists and agriculturists. Will it be the
walnut, the elm, the maple, the hick-
DRY, the oak; or will the youth of the
country want their favorite fruit tree
to be honored?
Oak Stands for Endurance
There is the oak long famed as the
emblem of strength, constancy and
long life, which may appeal to many
thousands, although it is an Austral-
ian, not an American, product. The
oak is of value in ship building, in
cabinet work, furniture making and in
the construction of vehicles, while its
bark is used in the dyeing and tanning
industries and in the medical profess
sion. It's acorns are sometimes sweet
and edible, being used, in many coun-
tries, as food for domestic animals.
Then, too, fable has it that crown Of
oak leaves was the reward among the
Romans of a hero who saved the Ifs
of fellow man.
One of the most valuable trees is
the walnut, the family name for which
is derived from "Jovis CLANS" or nut
of Juuiter. In ancient times, walnut
was called "Regia," or royal, and "Ju
CLANS Regia, is the name of the Euro
mean walnut. This species is spread

UTILIZE THE RIBBONS
Ribbons are omnipresent.

Ribbons are omnipresent.
From the narrowest of "bebeo
widths to the great broad sashes that
measure twelve inches and more are
ribbons Of every kind and color la
mode. You simply cannot make i
mistake by employing ribbons where
in doubt as to training.
And let me advise women who are
fortunate in the possession of a box
of ribbonn, remnants, odd pieces or
made-up designs to mack haste to en-
ploy them while fashion smiles Sc.
renely on them as her favorite trim
ming.
Paris has introduced narrow rib
bons, especially those with the pico.
edge as trimming in place of braids.
On a gown of blue tricotine large
coils were fashioned of half-inch wide
ribbon having wee satin edge thar
was picoted. These served as
rather informal binder for the skirt.
Smaller ones appeared on the sleeves
and still smaller ones careened around
the circular neckline. The color of the
ribbon was jade green and in the
centre of each coil reposed an EN-
broidered motif in heavy black silk.
Sashes in brilliant-colored ribbons
in various colors, tied in an enormous
bow at the side of the front, with long
ends forming trains, are freely en-
ployed. Bows in Japanese style, tied
directly at the center of the back, are
also seen.
Gowns in black or in navy blue are
shown with sashes or wide draped
girdles in emerald green, in scarlet or
in turquoise blue, made of plain col
ored faille or crepe, or of rich metal
brocaded silk. Speaking generally.
there is marked tendency to in
crease the apparent siez of the waist
by the use of heavy draped or padded
cords.
Belts contrasting in color with the
gown are strongly featured on tailored
styles as we'll as on the more dressy
types. Wide sashes, cords and carved
metal or composition belts are all IA
vored.
Many of the smartest models in
autumn millinery are made entirely Of
color, material and width.

be the most important use of asbestos
ever since the days of the Greeks and
the Romans Only the best grades
can be used for this purpose, accord

The Bottom OF the Sea

The depth of the sea presents an in
teresting problem. If the surface of
the sea were lowered 5000 feet $1,000
fathoms), the width of the Atlantic and
Pacific opposite the United States and
South America would not be material
ly lessened, but continent larger
than Africa would appear about the
South Pole, while North America
would be connected with the British
Isles and Europe through Greenland
and Iceland, and with Asia in the re-
gion of Boring Strait by broad plains
inclosing a land-locked Arctic Ocean
about as large as the Mediterranean
Sea.
If the sea were lowered two and
half miles 13,2OO feet), Asia, Aus
|tralia, South America and Africa would
be connected with a greatly enlarged
Antarctic continent, thus separating
the basins of the Atlantic, Pacific and
Indian Oceans.
The Atlantic would be divided into
an eastern and western basin by a
narrow strip of land extending souh-
ward from Iceland to the latitude of
Cape of Good Hope, while the Pacific
would be separated into large north
ern basin by narrow land connection
between northern Chile and the East
Indies. Even thus reduced, the sea
would still cover more than half the
earth's surface. If the sea were low
cred another mile, however Cor 18,480
|feet), the oceans as such would disap-
pera, and be represented by great
sea in the Northern Pacific, a smaller
one in the southern Atlantic, and seve-
raj small pools between the Americas
and Africas.
The sea is comparatively shallow
between Newfoundland and Ireland,
and the bottom is called "the tele-
graphic plateau" because several tele-
graphic cables are laid upon it.
Most of the mediterranean is over
mile deep, but if it's surface were
lowered only eight hundred feet it
would be separated from the Atlantic
at the Straight of Gibraltar, and divi-
ded into two seas by a land connec-
ton between Sicily and the African
coast of Tunis.
The Atlantic, we are told, if drained,
would be a vast, gently undulating
plain, with a swell or plateau in the
middle, running parallel with our
coast. Another plateau connects this
central one with the northeast coast
of South America.
The Atlantic is thus divided into
three great basins no longer ''unfath-
omed depths" The tops of these sea
plateaus are two miles below a sailing
ship, and the deepest places of the
basin almost five miles.
| These plateaus are whitened for
thousands of miles by tiny, creamy
species of shell lying as thickly on
their sides as frost crystals on snow
bank. The deepest parts are red in
color, strewn with VOLCANOES and mete-
ORIG particles and the deeply encrust-
ed bones of whales, sharks and other
sea monsters.
Through the black and silent water
of those abysses, in which the only
light is afforded by phosphorescent
animals, vegetable life is nearly alb
sent, while animal life is scanty and
is confined to a comparatively few
strange species which may have been
common near the surface in former
geological ages, but are now seldom
if ever, seen in the upper currents.
