SAND KILLS FOREST TREES
Coos Bay Dunes in Oregon Have Made Desert of Once Heavily
 Wooded Land.

In few places is the destruction Cf forests by sand more impressive than among the dunes of Coos hay. in south western OrcgcH. Approachns the en- trance of Coos bay, one sees to the south a succession of bold headlands covered by forest of fir and spruce, and to the north miles of rolling sand dunes stretching inland like a desert, with patches of willow and beech plants here and there, and in the dis tance clumps of trees and even large areas of forests making a last stand against the encroaching dunes.
 The destruction Of the forests there by siftin" E"I,,S seem all the more remarkable when one considers that the region is excessively humid. One observer reports that in August and Septel lber, when he was there. not one GLy in five was it dry enough and the wind right and strong enough to move the sand. When q dry iuY comes. however, and the wind i5 strong from the west, the sand flows at so great a rate that 1t will cover a S1X-inch log Tn the lee or dune ln less than an hour.
 The sand laden wind makes curious etchings on sticks and timber and eventually wears away all the wood ex- Cept the knots. The forests consist mainly of Douglas fir Sitka spruce, Port Oxford cedar and western red cedar within the area of the dunes and exist now only in patches, almost all ways in Impressions, the former level of the ground. As the wind builds up the advancing crests of the dunes, 1t often holIows behind them and exposes the skeletons of a dead forest. When the hollows are large, a green, grassy meadow. the home of numerous moist, sand-lOving plants, spring into being.

are four large bedrooms on the second floor of this house. And most impor- tant is the modern bathroom with con- plete fixtures. Water is supplied from a water supply system. There Is cleo tric light throughout, in this case, per haps, supplied by feed wire running near the house. Light and power can also be obtained by a private electric lighting plant. The bedrooms are es- peciauy light and cheerful, having windows on two sides.
 There is something quaint and ap- pealing about this type of home. It is ideal for the farm because it is roomy, comfortable and not pretentiOus at all. Moreover, it is economical to build. It Is 40 feet wide and 24 feet deep. The side porch is 20 feet wide. The two side bedrooms have doors opening out onto the balcony.

Could Caruso's Life have been Saved

Gould Caruso's Life have been Saved
 Could the life of the great Caruso have been saved?
 Were the distinguished specialists who attended him treating only a symptom and not getting at the real caues of the trouble which finally sent him to the grave?
 Dr. Francesca X. Sauchelli, a we'll known New York chiropractor, be- lieves that the famous singer would be alive and as we'll as ever today if the twisted vertebrae in his spinal column had been put back into place and thus relieved the pressure on the nerves which nourish the pleura and lung tissues.
 In a full page article in next Sundays New York American, Dr.. Sauchelli, reveals the surprising fact that Caruso came to him and had an X-ray photograph made of his back bone which showed, the doctor claims, the real cause of his illness.
 Dr. Sauchelli's. explanation of the cause of all Caruso's trouble and how he believes it could easily have been remedied is most interesting cod inetrvctive, and you will find it cniy in ~oXt Sundays New York American.

June is near!

So are roses. And so are brides
and the f1utter of things they bring
-tulle ribbons, bows, all entranc-,
ingly disturbing and hung on every
side with a million questions on
whether this should be this way or
that should be that way.
For what bride wants to go to the
altar, doubling that she has done
just the correct thing?
So, in the first place, the little
bride, who would be correct, plans
a wedding so simple that it will
nicely come within the limits of
her fathers income. For her father
must bear all of the expense of the
event with the exception of the
hiring of the b~ridegroom's carriage.
And h dispenses just this .once,
with all jewelry, however lovely her
selection Is, with the exception of
perhaps a pearl necklace which is
the gift of her future husband or
~ of her family, a bodice pin with
colorless sets. The engagement ring,
many brides give to the bridegroom
who will slip 1t on her finger after
the wedding ring has been put on.
At all events the wedding ring
for that would necessitate removing
the wedding ring.
The Bouquet
The bridegroom buys the bouquet
which his bride will carry, after
consulting her as to the fashion
which will look best with her gown.
The bride who does not desire a
provincial bridey effect while travel
ing, will not choose a white suit
even in summer. 1t seems to be the
accepted thing that a material of
good tone should be used for that
event.
Her linens and undergarments.
which are purchased and made be-
fore the wedding, will be marked
with her own initials, not those of
her fiance.
The wise girl who is receiving wed
ding gifts and wants her friends to
know the pleasure she feels at the
moment of their reception, will not
linger long with the family and
friends admiring her collection"
but will slip into some quiet corner
and on a bit of note paper say the
few words she desires to the sender
Immediately. When the in-pour Of
gifts becomes too heavy. then she
will jot them down and as soon as
possible write her thank you's."
Decorations.
If the wedding is to be a church
event-she will plan a decoration of
only palms and cathedral candles,
remembering that it is bad taste
to lavishly decorate a sacred edi-
fee.
The maid of honor is the brides
special attendant and on her fall
any duties the bride wishes per-
formed. To her the bride will give
the wedding ring for her BRIDE
groom, to be kept until the right
time, if the double ring ceremony
is used. The maid of honor Will
also hold her flowers during the GER
emory and adjust her train and veil
If it becomes twisted in turning.
