lures of entertaining, Is assumed by
the San Francisco board as host. 1t
was explained that many other boards

An extensive trip through Alaska

way realtors from entire states will
arrive at the convention in a body on

Perhaps the most unusual innova-
tion ever arranged at any convention

Radiurn and the Sun.

IT is held by some scientists that. by
reason of the facts known about
radioactivity, 1t is l. ,ssible to in
crease the estimated uge of the sun
and the period during which it will
continue to furnish light and heat to
the earth from ten to twenty times.
Thus. instead of being 100000 900
years old. the sun may be 1.000. 100000
or 1000, 100000 years old. and its fu-
ture duration may be 190.o00.000 or
200. .000, 900 years in place Of 10000, 900

of energy in itself. we have no right

remainder they are donating to the

Nevertheless, in 1914 that zone was

an American boy, who wrote the most
beautiful poem ever made to tree.
Many of you, like me, have COM
think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as tree;
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast:
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray:
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest Of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain:
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me.
But only God can make a tree
The cemetery in which kilmer lies
is beautifully kept. and the grass Is
green over his grave, but there is no
tree within quarter of mile and
the sun beats down without restraint
upon the hundreds of little white
crosses standing there. Sergt. Kill
mer's grave is surrounded by the
crosses of little-known soldiers, and
it was only by accident that one of
our party found it and brought US to
the spot. AS l looked at the cross

which he painted the agony Of our
Savior on Calvary and thus made the
less of his own sufferings as soldier:
