naturalist and the woodsman bask in
her smiles with their eyes open. Real
ly, in some ways Nature is as "cruel
MS the grave" as the saying goes. She
has no patience with ignorance and
Inefticiency. She works along the line
of the survival of the fittest." Let
competent woodsman go into the
wilderness and she will give him
bountifully of her plenty. Let ten
derfoot in the wilderness throw him
self on her mercy and he will perish
misarably.
Mother Nature also evidently has a
sense of humor, which is not always
good-natured, by a jugful. Now,
here's this poison ivy; it's good ex-
ample of her practical-joke methods.
Nature has created the sumac
(Rhus), a genus of small trees and
shrubs of the natural order of Anacar-
diaceae. The species are numerous
and are found all over the world ex-
cepa in the coldest regions and Austria
liza. The sumac is useful sort Of
thing. Various species furnish dyes,
tanning material, edible seeds, varnish,
oil .or candles, medicines and condi-
mems.
Az a matter of fact all the species
of eamac the world over are useful,
EXCEPT three. And these three make
a lot of trouble. The three are the
poiupn Ivy (Rhus radicans) and poi
son sumac (Rhus vernix) of NORTH
America and Japanese sumac (Rhus
putiila).
and how is anyone to know that this
pan ticular kind of ivy and this partic-
ulsr kind Of sumac are poisonous?
That's where Mother Natures practi-
cas-joke humOr comes in. Also it is
good object lesson of the fact that she
has no patience with ignorance and
inefficiency. For most certainly it is
ignorance not to know poison ivy and
most certainly 1t is inefficiency to be-
come poisoned by it.
Incidentally, big dose of poison
Ivy poisoning is no joke. OF course,
Il frequently happens that the poison

laughs at the itching one and says,
"Well, you'll know better next time."
But good many cases are serious
enough to demand doctor. And there
have been cases that ended with the
death of the poisoned.
Many interesting facts concerning
poison ivy and poison sumac, how to
recognize the plants, and how to treat
the poisoning, are contained in Farm
ers' Bulletin 1166, now published by
the Department of Agriculture. The
bulletin is illustrated with pictures OF
the two plants, which are often con-
fused. Copies of the bulletin may be
had upon request of the department
at Washington, d. c. This bulletin
brings out the following facts, among
others:

Of some innocent and harmless plants,

Facilitated Melting Of Snow.

Automobile highways which cross
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Cali
fornia are usually closed to traffic
as late as June on account of the slow
melting Of the deep snow which covers
the higher levels. In order to ac-
celerate the melting of the snow and
thus to expedite the opening of the
highways, the experiment was made
this spring Of scattering black soil
and ashes on snow which covered the
highways. AS result of the increased
absorption of solar heat the snow
melted rapidly, and the roads were
opened several weeks earlier imam
would otherwise have obtained.

Whites outnumnered.

Taking the broadcast possible view
of the racial maps of the globe as it
existed before the war, it will be
found that out Of total number Of
human beings amounting TO 100000
600, 550,000,000 were white, 1,150,0O0,-
900 were colored. Thus the colored
races outnumbered the whites more
than two to one.

POISON IVY AND SUMAC,

Poison ivy may appear in
various forms, but the three
telltale leaves identify it.
Not all varieties of poison ivy
bear fruit. Those that do have
whitish or cream-colored berries
resembling mistletoe.
Poison cumac, under various
aliases, grows only in swamPs
or in wet ground.
Poison sumac has 2 to 13
Leaflets arranged in pairs along
each stalk, with single leaflet
at the tip.
Poison sumac is often con-
fused with elder, certain kinds
of ash, and various other shrubs
and trees bearing somewhat
similar foliage.
Its loose, dropping clusters of
flowers, followed by smooth
ivory-white fruits, are readily
distinguished from the densely
covered upright terminal spikes
of the harmless sumac.
First aid to poisoned: Wash
skin clean with soap and hot
water, being careful not to
spread the poison. Application
of cooking soda, two teaspoons
full to cup of water.

The shorter life Of man is probably
accounted for by his energetic life.
Women probably marry earlier than
men because their best chance for
marrying is between the ages of twenty
and twenty-five when they are most at
tractive. 1t is found that about 81
per cent of the women marry between
those ages. Men generally marry
when older. The difference In age
averages about three years That is
why the laws are SO arranged that man
becomes of age at twenty-one and
women at eighteen.

GERMAN NAVAL EXPERT
GIVES AIRCRAFT DATA

SAINT BLAISEN, Baden, March
IA. P.)--Admiral Alfred Won Tir-
pitz. German naval authority, is an i'm
terview today, gave his views on the
influence Of aircraft upon future wars.
He discounted the Zeppelin airship as
too much subject to wind and too vul-
nerable for ordinary reconnoitering
The airplane, in his opinion. has a
much greater future as it has an eco
nomic importance for traffic which
will tend to perfect it for war purpos-
es.
While the airplane has taken a
high place in land fighting as a substi-
tute for cavalry Admiral Won Tirpitz
said it had not developed its useful
ness to the same degree in sea recon
noitering, but that was probably due
to the ne1ness of the airplane. which
waterplans of the future might con-
ceivably overcome.
The Admiral reserved his opinion
on the possibility of effective attacks
by airplanes upon battleships but
clearly showed that he doubts that
airplanes viii become a great menace
to the warships. as, he pointed out.
the latter will develop devices for de-
fence while heavily loaded airplanes
Will always be in danger of counter
attacks from lighter machines.
'In comparison with ships" he
said, "airplanes will always have a
Fundamental disadvantage in their
small loading capacity especially when
they are to be used on wide expanse
Of ocean. From a study of the history
of naval warfare, the greatest expo
nent of which was an American. am
persuaded that the nature of naval
forces will not change with jerk but
will develop organically, for develop
ment takes some time which only in
and fancies can be skip
ped. In this respect, the late war has
not effected any fundamental altera-
ton. although, of course. the rate of
technical development is much faster
than formerly"
