SAYS
FEW READERS
GRASP MEANING
Chesterton, in Discussing Fan
tastic' in Literature, Warns
of Absurd Conclusions.

LONDON, Jan. 7-Gilbert K. Ches-
terton took busy mans holiday when
he lectured to the Authors Club-pre-
sided over by Anthony Hope Hawkins
on the subject of THE Fantastic in Lit
erature."
Mr.. Chesterton said that there was a
very common suggestion that laughter
had its origin in some form of cruelty
or hostility to others, or pleasure at
their distress or pain. This was gener-
ally repeated throughout the modern
world and was very popular because it
was depressing.
AN old friend of mine" he continued,
Mrs. Samuel Barnett had recently ex
pressed herself with some disapproval
about the rhyme of the COW jumping
over the moon; and it was very touch
ing to see the way In which literary
critics with one accord rallied to the
defense of Hey, diddle, diddle, feeling
sort of common enthusiasm that here
at last was q really great masterpiece
of English poetry which they had not
only always praised and admired and
raised for the emulation and admiration
of the world, but which they had actual
ly even read.
CHILDREN ALWAYS
LAUGHED AT 'EM.
1T would require q good deal of psy
chology to contradict two facts Of which
that rhyme was a simple illustration.
1t was certainly q fact that children
laughed al that nursery rhyme at a
very early age and that the image of
the cow jumping over the moon was O.
very simple incongruity that amused.
Another was that 1t would be very diff
ficult, even for a modern psychologist,
to maintain that the pleasure a child
took in that rhyme was entirely based
on the cruel delight which a child would
take In the COW coming with a great
thump to the ground.
Few people seem to understand the
fantastic when it is used logically upon
the principle of the reduction ad absur-
dam For instance, man says there
ought to be no private property Of any
kind that there are none Of the things
men have that they should not share
You then say to him, Your proposal
about a common toothbrush or q com
munal pair Of trousersT and he replies
that you are making a jest OF the dis
cussion. The point 10 insist on Is that
he is the man who made the absurd
remark. He is the man who made the
joke, but the difference is that can
see the Joke and he can't.
FIGHT ENEMY
IN OWN MANNER.
"Just Ike when the ordinary jolly
old major, or man in the club tells you.
I always like to fight the enemy with
their own weapons I say to hira How
long does 1t take you 10 sting a wasp!
or How do cannibals faster or some
thing OF that sort
In these circumstances the man IN
the club is liable to accuse you Of fan
tasy; but. as matter Of fact. IL Is he
who IS fantastic. The main thing which
mlsleads the Communist or tn mar IN
the club on these occasions ard leads
him to think that the common ard
frigid logiciau on the other side was
fanciful or tlippaut is the fnct that the
logician Is roaring with laughter or
otherwise obviously enjoying the situ>

Washington Briefs

WASHINGTON, Jan. Tive foreign
journalists recently in WashingtOn-a
Frenchman and German-are under fire
in official quarters for violating the I'M
written law that the President of the
United States must never be quoted ex-
cept by express permission. In LIE Mattn
Of Nov 20, its editor, NJ. Stephane
Lausanne, published quoted remarks of
Mr.. Harding at a newspaper audience at
the White House. They referred to the
Presidents views on the possible pres
ence of Germany at future International
meetings growing out of the Washing
ton conference. A little earlier than that
episode, q German correspondent named
Fritz Jaennicke, representing the DanZig
Neueste Nachrichten, was introduced to
the President by an American colleague.
That night he flashed by wireless to his
paper the utterly groundess statement,
attributed to Mr.. Harding, that the
President "favors the independence of
Danzig" He embellished his grim fairy
tale with the announcement he had also
taken lunch with Secretary Hughes
General Pershing and Under-Secretary
Fletcher. That fable was based on the
accident that his American confrere in
vited him to luncheon at a club where
those officials happened to be eating in
the same room.

ence and the American delegation into

More Soft Fruits Advised

That orchard owners of the Pacific
Northwest should give serious thought
to the planting of other crops than
apples is the advice of a Pullman,
Wash, expert who has been checking
the national situation.
There is no question about the
quality and package of northwestern
apples assuring a market for these
apples for some years to come, but
every season will have to face in
creased competition. he says.
california, especially the southern
part Of that state. is planting more
and more land to apples, which means
stock grown in that state will to a
great degree supplant northwestern
varieties in the San Francisco and Los
Angeles markets, and the eastern COM
petition is also going to increase ma
terially. Many Of the eastern growers
are turning 10 boxes or barrelettes,
and the number Of western trained
men who are going into commercial
work in the middle west means that
any advantage we, may have had
through growing methods is going to
be lost there at least. II we set more
of our orchard land out to cherries,
apricots and winter pears, we shall
have a field in which the east offers
less competition.

NORTH BANK ROAD
TO BE OPEN In 1928

There is every prospect that the
North Bank Highway, on the Washing
ton side of the Columbia river, will be
open to travel over the improved road
way from Vancouver to Lyle, by the
summer of 1928, according to a recent
summary of road conditions published
in the Tacoma Ledger.
Contracts for over $50. 600 have been
let this spring, and work is now being
done on the extremely heavy construc-
ton work between Cooks and Under
wood, a distance Of four miles, while
the new bridge is ready at Stevenson
and mile of gravel surfacing is being
applied at that point.
The most difficult bit of work along
this road, however, the Ledger de-
clares. is the l2-mile stretch between
Underwood and Major Creek, which is
complicated because the road must run
in and out of the right-of-way of the
S. z. & S. railway. The company has
given up a portion of its right-of-way
for distance of eight miles in order
to make this construction possible.
Approval of the states federal aid
road system" said the Ledger, ''af-
fects travel on both sides of the Co
lumbia river and makes important
changes in eastern Klickitat county.
Washington proposed the Wallula cut
off, a new project, to the bureau of
roads. which approved it officially and
suggested it to Oregon.

PARCH BLIGHT TURNS
FIR TREES BROWN

Parch blight and not the ice storm
of the winter is responsible for the dy-
| ing appearance of many of the Douglas
fir trees along the Columbia River
Highway, AYERS Forest Ranger Albert
Wiesendanger.
A similar blight occurred about
Wiesendaner, but it is not so alarming
residents along the highway are even
considering cutting down their trees,
thinking they have died.
The malady is described in an article
on "Parch Blight on Douglas Fir in
the Pacific Northwest" written by
Thornton 7. Munger, forest examiner,
for the Plant World, few years ago.
"Quite frequently in the spring the
foliage of the Douglas fir trees in the
vicinity of Portland turns brown"
says Munger. ''In March and April
entire trees are sometimes as sere as
though they had died recently, and
groves look from a distance as though
hot fire had scorched them. The
injury is sometimes so striking as to
give rise to the impression that all the
timber is dying. But with the begin
ming OF the growing season most of
the buds open normally and by mid
summer the trees have regained their
usual green appearance. Close exam
ination in midsummer indicates that
many of the old needles are brown and
are dropping off and that in places the
one-year-old twigs have been killed.
The cause of the blight, according to
Munger, is the drying east winds that
sweep across the Cascade mountains
from the interior plateau country and
parch the Douglas frs, which are used
to the humid insuIar climate of the
region west of the Cascades. at a time
of year when their physiological func-
tions are least active and they are
least able to withstand this parching.
''The injury is most severe in the
vicinity of Portland because this re-
gion is particularly exposed to the
direct sweep of the east winds down
the canyon of the Columbia river"
says Munger.
Usually the affected trees show no
permanent i'll effects from this paTch-
ing, though undoubtedly the loss of
part of their foliage inhibits their
growth -

second marriage to the same wife may
