Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.

Everyone who has travelled in the
tropics knows by experience that white
duck and white linen are the coolest Of
garments 10 wear under the blazing heat
cf the direct sun-a fact which accounts
for the growing preference for light
colored clothing for both men and
women during the summer months, even
IN the temperate zones. The reason,
strange as II may seem, is precisely the
same as that which leads contractors to
paint radiators with a gold or light tan

BLACK WALNUT TREE BEST
Department Of Agriculture Points Out
lts Excellent Qualities as a
Roadside Ornament.

In line with movements launched
by automobile clubs and associations.
state highway departments, the Ameri-
can Legion, the American Forestry
association, and various good roads
organizations, the Department of Agrl-
culture is urging the planting of black
walnut trees along the highways. The
late war drew heavily upon the black
walnut timber supply for airplane con-
struction but it ended before the
larger trees entirely disappeared. The
supply has been greatly reduced, how
ever, and the department urges that IL
be Increased without delay. 1t is be-
lieved that by planting walnuts In the
soil and rearing trees along the roads
ample seed can be secured from these
trees to re-establish the walnut forests
whenever they again become depleted.
Few species OF trees have a wider geo.
grahic range. few are more rapid
growers when given a favorable en-
vironment and few are more effective
as to shade and landscape. In addi-
ton, the black walnut produces a nu-
tritious food.
