 Where Arbor Day Originated
 Arbor Day started in Nebraska when the State Board of Agriculture, on January 4, 1872, heard the resolution of J. Sterling Morton that April 10, 1872, be consecrated to tree-planting This was adopted but later, in honor of the father of Arbor Day, the date in ~ SOi sHoF>e" was SidhSSu iO April ~ III honor of MT. Morton's birthday. Since then the custom has spread to every state in the Union.
 An Example To Be Followed
 A fine example to other towns is the memorial tree setting at Vineland, New Jersey. The memorial spot is the center of forty acre tract. There is a circle of forty old tulip trees seventy feet high. This circle as coped outside the tulip trees is nearly a thousand feet in circumference. Four streets ex- tending from different sections of the

In coats of approved materials made up
on approved lines. But the coat at the
left reveals yoke and sleeves cut in
one piece and a muffier collar that is
shaped differently from the original
and much-copied model. 1t is made Of
silvertone, with big patch pockets and
depends upon narrow braid and but
tons for a striking establishment. Il
seems like painting the lily to add any
adorment to cloth so rich-but 1t is
done, by way of variety.
In the handsome coat at the right
the outlines are much the same as
those In the coat of silvertone, but
the designer pursued different path
to arrive at the same goal. Uncut b.
livia Is the cloth used and the sleeves
are covered by braided pattern that
enriches even this luxurious material.
The most voluminous of all muffler
collars snuggles up about the throat
and a narrow belt of the fabric draws
attention to the fact that there is
such thing as waistllne, without
getting very near to 1t.

Mystical Forty"

The Children of Israel were in the
wilderness forty years. and they sent
spies into the Promised Land for forty
days in advance of their own going
Moses was in the Mount of the Law
forty days. Isaac was forty years old
when he was married. and so was
Esau. Eli was Judge of Israel for
forty years. Goliath defied the army
of Israel forty days before David
killed him. solomon reigned forty
years. Elijah fed forty days, from
Mount Carmel to Mount Horeb. Jonah
gave the city of Nineveh forty days
warning of its impending destruction.
Jesus tasted forty days, and appeared
to his disciples at intervals for forty
days after his resurrection. St. Paul
five times received forty strokes with
the scourges.

Diary of the valley, and together the
two set out in the direction of the
Greystoke bungalow.
What purpose prompted the Belgian
in leading the victim of his treachery
and greed back toward his former
home it is difficult to guess. unless it
was that without Tarzan there could
be no ransom for Tarzan's wife.
That night they camped in the VAL
ley beyond the hills, and as they sat
before a little fire where cooked a
wild pig that had fallen to one of Tar
zan's arrows, the latter sat lost in
speculation. He seemed continually
TO be trying to grasp some mental
image which as constantly eluded him.
At last he opened the leather pouch
which hung at his side. From it he
poured into the palm of his hand
quantity of glittering gems. The fire
light playing upon them conjured a
multitude of scintillating rays, and as
the wide eyes of the Belgian looked on
in rapt fascination, the mans express
sion at last acknowledged tangible
purpose in counting the society of the
ape-man.

Styles in winter coats, launched at
the beginning of the winter season,
proved so altogether satisfactory that
there has been no need for the intro
duction of new departures in them.
Manufacturers had only to feature
and emphasize the points that appeal
ed with such success to the buying
public, as they turned out new exam
pies of established modes. Using the
softest of thick and pliable materials
they have exaggerated the big muf
fer collars, the roomy sleeves and the
general ample appearance of the top
coat of the early season. In everything
(but price) the coats of today suit the
smartly dressed woman down to the
last detail. She grumbles at the IN
heard of prices-but she pays them.
The story of winter coats draws to
close with the introduction of inter
esting new ways Of putting them to-
gether; tricks of cutting and shaping
the sleeves or of adding decorations
that are unusual, or varying the shape
of the huge collars. The two handsome
models pictured bring out these points

lay between the stately piles of the
half-ruined edifices and the inner wall
of the city. Great apes jabbered at them
and menaced them, but Tarzan an
swered them after their own kind, CIV
ing back taunt for taunt, insult for in
suit, challenge for challenge.
Werper saw a hairy bull swing
down from a broken column and ad-
vance. stiff-legged and bristling, to-
ward the naked giant. The yellow
fangs were barred. angry snarls and
barkings rumbled threateningly
through the thick and hanging lips.
The Belgian watched his compan-
ion. To his horror, he saw the man
stoop until his closed knuckles rested
upon the ground as did those of the
anthropoid. He saw him circle, stiff
legged. about the circling ape. He
heard the same bestial barkings and
growlings issue from the human throat
that were coming from the mouth of
the brute. Had his eyes been closed
he could not have known but that two
giant apes were bridling for combat.
But there was no battle. 1t ended
as the majority of such jungle en-
counters end-One of the boosters
loses his nerve and becomes suddenly
interested in blowing leaf, beetle,
or the lice upon his hairy stomach.
In this instance it was the anthro-
poid that retired in stiff dignity to in
spect an unhappy caterpillar, which he
presently devoured. For moment
Tarzan seemed inclined to pursue the
argument. He staggered truculently,
stuck out his chest, roared and adj
vanced closer to the bull. 1t was with
difficulty that Werper finally persuad-
ed him to leave well enough alone and
continue his way from the ancient
city of the Sun Worshipers.
The two searched for nearly an hour
before they found the narrow exit
through the inner wall. From there
the well-worn trail led them beyond
valley of Opar.
TarZan had no idea, in so far as
Werper could discover, as to where he
was or whence he came. He wandered
aimlessly about, searching for food,
which he discovered beneath small
rocks, or hiding in the shade of the
scant brush which dotted the ground.
The Belgian was Mortified by the
hideous menu of his companion. Bee
ties, rodents and caterpillars were de-
voured with seeming relish. Tarzan
was indeed an ape again.
At last Werper succeeded in leading
his companion toward the distant hills
which mark the northwestern boun-

in the plain of Mamre, which is in
Hebron, and built there an altar to
the Lord" This spot is still marked

is to this protection that one must
attribute its preservation in region

provident Turk. The species is not
uncommon in Palestine and Major
Portal while stationed at general head
quarters of the British army there,
sent TO Kew gardens small box of
acorns which were recognized as the
fruit of Abraham's tree. Sir Joseph
Hooker visited the spot in 1860 and
wanted to secure specimen of the
wood for Kew, but no one would cut
off a bough. 1t was only when the
snow, which visited Jerusalem in 1886
and which did not spare Hebron, had
broken down one of the oaks branches
he was able to secure a portion of 1t
which is to be seen to this day In one
of the Kew museums. But more
practical fame awaits the tree, for 1t
is with it that the Syrian forests will
probably be rehabilitdted in the bright
era which is dawning now that the
Turk no longer rules the land.

headliner is due to appear. Resort
hats are about TO enter and TO take the
