THE HOOKER OAK
BY T. r. MAXEY

TN BEAUTIFUL 2300-acre Btdwell
L park which, by the way, is one Of the
largest natural-wooded parks in the
country, in the little city of Chico,
California-some $50 miles northeast
of San Francisco, there is giant
white-oak tree which is believed to
be the largest Of it's kind in the world.
This ponderous monarch of the for
est was named after Sir Joseph
Hooker, the noted English naturalist,
who, in 1877, after a. close examination
and considerable study, pronounced it
to be larger than any of the wondrOus
oaks for which England was famed.
This great tree is more than 100
feet high and its circumference eigk.
feet above the ground is % 4-1Oth
feet. Its longest branch extends away
from the trunk for 105 feet. From
North to south its branches spread
an even 200 feet The greatest cir
conference of its outside branches
reaches the astonishing figure of al
most 400 feet.
Students of freedom from near and
far have come and tried every means
known to science to coax this mas
sive oak to whisper the secret of its
tremendous size and unusual age, but
it merely waves its branches in the
gentle breeze and seems to laugh at
them SO, the best they can do is to
estimate its age. The consensus of
opinion is that 1t has been on earth
we'll nigh 1000 years.
General WilliaM TecumSeh iSher
man, of Civil war came. gave 1t as
his opinion that an army Of 1000
men could stand within It's shade at
.gh noon.

IA STATES PAYING
VETERANS BONUSES
Over S375,OOO,OOO Authorized
For Soldier Relief.

New York, Aug S.-State Legislation
converting more than 1910. 100000 To
| the aid of the world war veterans has
| been passed or is waiting popular refer
| endum. the Bank of America announc-
ed at the conclusion of Il nationwide
| survey Of the bonus situation.
| Veterans of fourteen states already
are receiving cash bonuses totaling
$1S4, 100000, and in eight more states,
| Legislation providing for cash bonuses
| of $191 100000 now is pending.
Only Alabama, Georgia and AliSsiS-
sippi have failed to pass legislation au-
thorizing aid 10 veterans in exemptions
or benefits of some kind, the report
declared.
The bonuses range from SO ii month
| for service in a number of states, to
$50 a month in North Dakota Sew
| eral states set maximum rates, ranging
from 500 in New Jersey to $500 in
Oregon. Maine, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, and Rhode Island gave
500 cash bonuses outright for service
prior to January 1, 1918.
North Dakota claims the honor Of
having been the first state to pay the
bonus, and Illinois heads the list for
amount with $55,0OOO00, provided the
bonus law passes popular referen-
dunn.
Statistics compiled by the Bank of
America show that bond issues provide
the most popular way for raising the
necessary bonus funds IN twenty
states bonds, notes or certificates have
been authorized and sold or are await
ing popular approval.
Many states which have given cash
bonuses also are providing aid of a
practical nature. In fifteen states aid
is offered for vocational education, and
in California bill has been adopted
providing for vocational education of
veterans dependents.
In nearly all the states the term
veteran" includes nurses who were III
regular army service. In many cases
the cash bonus is extended to widows
and dependents of those veterans who
have died.

DOES JAZZ PUT The
Sin IN SYNCOPATION?
A Problem For American Parents.

Dancing TO Mozart minutes,
Strauss waltzes and Sousa two-steps
would never lead to the cOrset-check
room which now holds sway in hotels
clubs ana dance halls. Nor would a
girl who wore corSets in those days
have been dubbed Old Ironsides'
and left a disconsolate wall-tlOWer in
a corner of the ballroom" says Mrs.
Marx E Oberndorfer, National Music
Chairman of the General Federation
of Music Clubs.
The quotation above appears III
an article entitled Does Jazz Put
the Sin i'll Syncopation?" written by
Mrs. Oberndofer in the interest OF
better music. This article which APP
pears in the August number OF a
leading Journel, points out how
music may become an influence for
evil. 1t directs particular criticism
10 jazz.
Offering proof that Jazz produces
a definite demoraizing effect on the
human brain, Mrs. OberndoGer con-
tinues: "Jazz originally was the &C
compartment of the Voodoo dancer,
stimulating the half-crazed barba-
rain to the vilest deeds"
After pointing out the evils created
by Jazz, Mrs. Oberndorfer concludes
with a plea for good music because
of the help and inspiration it can and
will give. She says: The Music
Department of the General Fedora
ton of Music Clubs has taken for its
motto: "To Make Good Music Popu-
lar and Popular Music Good y
The article shows how the women OF
America can help the club women
carry out this motto in every home
firmly, steadfastly, determinedly, I'M
til all the music in our land becomes
and influence for good.
