B BOOKS

RED TERROR AND GREEN By Rich
ard Dawson. New York: e. p. Dut-
ton d Co.
A study Of Sim Fein with a view
to proving an alliance between it
and the Bolshevik movement. The
author says that the two move
ments are closely bound together
and are working in harmony for a
common end. He studies this Irish
movement from beginnings which,
he says, were vastly different from
those it is serving now, stating that
feeble body without financial
backing became in a few years a
powerful international organization
with plenty of money, and says that
the prosperity of Sim Fein came
from plotting Germany and later
from Bolshevist leaders who hoped
to promote unrest and economic and
political trouble in any country in
which they could get foothold.

FOREST LONG UNDER WATER
Submerged Petrified Trees That Must
Be Centuries Old Removed as
Menace to Navigation.

When the government ship canal
that connects Puget sound with Lake
Washington was opened, the waters OF
the lake were lowered II feet. While
wire-dragging the lake, says q con-
tributor, the United States coast and
geodetic survey discovered a subma'
ripe forest. The tops of the sub
merged trees were so close to the sur
face that they were menace to nav
igation. Underwater logging opera.
tions to clear the lake were there
fore started.
1t is thought that the forest Is pre-
historic, a remnant Of one that grew
in the Lake Washington area in the
days when 1t was dry land; or that
great landslides in remote ages car
ried the trees into the lake.
The trees were without branches
and stood vertical, or nearly so; they
were semipetrified. The longest trunk
removed was 121 feet 6 inches. The
top, 10 inches thick, rose to within a
feet of the surface Of the lake. the
butt was 5 feet 6 inches in diameter.
and the roots, firmly embedded In the
bottom of the lake, had a 2O-foot
spread. 1t was found 1,50O feet from
the shore.
Off the south end Of Mercer island
in Lake Washington, nearly hundred
trees were destroyed. The cleanup
gave a count of mere than a hundred
trunks during the first three months
of 1920, off Manitou point. The larg-
est trunk in that area stood in 121 feet
of water, LOO feet from shore. The
tree was Ill feet long, with 5-inch
top and 3-foot butt.
Wherever possible, the trees were
pulled out by the roots. Fastenings
were made to the trunks by dragging
the blight of cable through the water
at The required depth. When the
blight touched the trunk. one end OF
the cable was passed through an eye
at the other end, and the loop formed
was run down to the trees. When the
trees were hauled up, they were cnt
into 4-foot sections and thrown back
into the lake. Since they were water
logged, they Immediately sank.
Sometimes a trunk was caught thar
could not be uprooted. Such trees
were blasted off at the top until YES
sells could pass safely above them
An idea Of the extent Of the submerged
forest and the difficulty Of removing
the towering ancient trees may be de-
termined by the time-three years and
six months-that 1t has taken the en-
gineering corps, working steadily, tc
make the lake safe for navlgatlon.-

Infection Of the Gums Which Ere
quently Is Not Suspected untl'
Much Harm Has Been Done
How to Recognize II.

(Supplied by the United States PUBIC
Health Service, Washington. D. CO
Pyorrhea Is an Infection Of the gums
or tooth-sockets. It begins beneath
the edges of the gums that have been
injured and especially where there has
been an accumulation Of tartar or
lime-deposit. AS the infection pro-
crosses and destroys the membranes
that attach the root Of the tooth to
the socket, pocket is formed around
the root and the tooth becomes loos-
ened. 1t Is said that this disease Is
responsible for far more loss Of teeth
than is decay.
But this Is not the only evil. In
5 the pocket pus is continually being
formed and discharged into the mouth
and swallowed. Also, as the teeth
rise and fall in their diseased sockets
in ordinary chewing, bacteria are
forced into the circulation and may
be carried to distant parts. where they
work harm according to their nature,
selecting tissues for their operation
In which they can best thrive.
It was formerly supposed that the
III effects from such conditions as
dental abscess and other pus foci were
wholly due to the toxins or poisonous
products thrown into the blood-stream
by the bacteria at the focus. 1t is now
known, however, that the bacteria
migrate into outside tissues through
the blood and lymph-streams. In joint
affections they clog and obstruct the
small blood-vessels, interfering with
the nutrition Of the joint-tissues, caus-
ing deformity and enlargement, as in
arthritis deformans, as well as in
acute Inflammation, such as rheumatic
fever. g Indeed, this condition Of SUBJ
Infection, or focal Infection" Is com
ing to be recognized as far more
