WILL INTRODUCE
 CHAUlM0OGRk TREE TO U. 5.

Washington, July 2o-Introduction in the United States of the chau1moo- gra tree to assure 8 permanent sup ply of the oil for the treatment of leprosy is planned as a result or trip through Siam, Burma and AS. sam by Prof. J. F. Rock, formerly or the University of Hawaii.
 Prof Rock has just returned to Washington after an extensive ex- ploration into the jungles for the De. partment of. Agriculture's branch of foreign seed and plant introduction He brought back with him several specimens of the '@taraktogenos' tree, the seeds of which have been sent to various experiment stations o1 the department in Florida, Maryland and California for germtnatioH.
 Within eight years, it is believed enough fruit will be borne from these plants to initiate a domestic source of supply of chau1moogra oil.
 With the possible exception or man named Kerr, an amateur botan- ist, Prof Rock is said to be the first white man to invade the region O. Siam where he obtained his spect mems. Natives of that country fol many years had visited the tarakto- oil to meet their domestic needs, but they made these trips only every three years for fear of the beasts tha inhabit the wild country.
 w nll6 Oll IldS poSI used scientifically for only few years, Prof. Rock says the natives o1 that part of Asia which he visited have been using the curative proper ties of the taraktogenos tree for hun dreds of years, but in such a crude way as to be unable to derive its com plete benefits.
 'rIn the Buddhist histories that date back 1000 years there are men, tions of this tree" Prof. Rock point ed out. adding that 'tthe crude oil ot the tree was taken internally by the natives and the legends say it was effective"
 It was not until 1899 that the ae- tive principles of the oil from the seeds of the taraktogenes tree were isolated with success. This was done by pr, Frederick B, Powers. now con- nected with tha Department of Agri- culture here, after extensive scientific experiments made in England in 1856 had resulted in the discovery that the wrong tree was being used for ex- tracting eha1meogTa oil,
 Application of results obtained in Dr. Powers researches by DF. A. l.. Dean. president of the University of and others has led to a wide spread use of the oil in 1epresy eases.

much perp1exed for a time over the difficulty of req ching her place of en- ployment on time. Being an enthu- siastic devotee of roller skating, how ever, she conceived the idea of ac- complaining her daily travelling via the ro1ler-skate route. She brought out her skates, strapped them to her dainty extremities, and, pronto, the problem was solved.
 She rolled merri1y along to and from her work, dodging, with a. smile, in and out among the hurrying crowds, changing the tine-honored phrase, Business before pleasure to +Business with pieasure&'
 While it is not anticipated that the sidewalk roller skating fad will reach such proportions in Pueblo as to se- rious1y curtai1 the business of the street car company, it is believed that many who have been visiting amuse- ment parks and paying for the privi- 1ege of skating will emulate this kha- ki-clad miss and secure a little health full recreation in going to and coming ing from their daily tasks.
