Strange Trees
Act Like Fire
Hose Is Claim

Philadelphia, April 30.--Speak'
ing on the growth of trees before
the American Philosophical socie-
ty here today, D. T. MacDougal OF
the Carnegie Institute of Washing
ton desert laboratory, Tuscon,
Ariz., said that some species be-
have like heavy hose feeding
from a pressure system to a fire
engine. Crudely expressed, he
said, when the engine tends TO
take water faster than suppliea
the hose tends to collapse; when
the engine Stacks it's action, the
hose swells.
Daily edualizing variations hy
which tree may be actually
smaller in mid-afternoon than at
sunrise are greatest in ash, pine,
spruce, fir, walnut, and least an
poplars, sycamore, beech and oak
trees" DR.. MacDougal said.o FAC
curate measurement of ! the
changes in trunks internal to, the
growing layer show that these
variations are directly connected
with the mechanism Of the ascent
of sap and are explainable upon
the assumption of a rigid water
column in a trunk composed Of
wood-eells and vessels capable Of
some shrinkage and expansion.
Extended measurements of the
growth of many trees of a nnmber
OF species have been made by the
use OF the newly designed dendror
graph. which makes continuous
record of changes of diameter and
the recently perfected dendrcmeter
which registers total change in
circumference DIR. MacDougal
explained.
1T is found that the period dur
ing which growth takes place
even in equable climates with in
determinate seasons does not ex-
tend over more than two or three
months, and that growth is not
rhythmical in any sense, but de-
pends upon food-supply, tempera-
ture, moisture and other environ
mental conditions"

Belfast Boycott
Is Enforced By
Sim Feiill Army

Dublin, April 30.-The boycoti
against Belfast by the rest of Ire
land, officially ordered by ths
heads of Sim Fein, is being en-
forced with all the power of the
Irish republican army, and daily
reports are received Of attacks on
traders who continue to do bust
ness with Belfast.
The fact that all this pressure
is necessary shows unWillingness
on the part of traders to severe
their relations with Belfast, which
does an extensive and varied busi-
ness with the most distant nation
alist districts. The bread supply
of many of the towns in Con-
naught is baked in Belfast and de-
livered daily by train. Several
consignments have been followed
up and destroyed.
In some Of the towns as far
away as the County of Clare the
local traders are served from Bel
fast, and many of them have been
warned against disobeying the
Sim Fein order. At railway sta
tions in that county Belfast goods
have been destroyed in the stores.
1t is impossible to obtain ac-
curate information as to how far
the boycott has proved effectual.
Belfast citizens admit it is an en-
barrassment but not very serious
attack on their trade. Sim Fem
ers insist that it will cripple Bel
fast.
There are many kinds of trade
which Dublin could do as conven-
iently for the rest of the country
as Belfast. The boycott affords
Dublin business men chance to
capture some of this extensive
trade, but so far apparently it has
not appealed to them as a business
proposition, and there is no ap-
parent sign that capital is being
invested on the prospect.

brief visit. On their return they
found a quantity of sugar and

an investigation and consulted

and Mrs. Walters demanded that
Mrs. Yost make a retraction in the

do and the $4,000 slander suit
Is the result.

Western Oregon
Offers Big Range
For AUTO Tourists

Where shall we go this sum-
mer?" This Is the universal
question In motordom these bright
spring days. Circumstances have
conspired to answer it in part
1--WE shall stay in Oregon and en-
tertain the thousands from
road"-but beyond that restric-
tion there is a width OF choice
bounded only by the great acean
on the west, the big hills al the
east. and a beautiful drive north
and south to Canada and to
Mexico. Within this boundry are
pleasant resorts and beautiful
scenery which beckon the aspiring
motorist with their infinite
variety of charms.
In the Willamette Valley, the
magnificent granary OF half the
west, the gem-like beauty Of the
mountain districts and the joyous
and health-giving sea breeze, cap
ture the immigration of every real
American. Further south Is the
glorious scenery of the Rogue
river valley and the Cascade aud
coast ranges OF mountains; and
the beguiling smoothness OF a
splendid road system up the
Columbia highway to Eastern
Oregon. All OF these are con-
stantly inviting tourists from all
directions.
Last summer witnessed a tre-
mendous increase in traps-conti-
mental touring, and the coming
season, according TO present in
dicatlons, will show another gain
In this red-blood sport. The
Shriner's convention in Portland
last summer stimulated much
travel by motor car
and since that event all motor
dom has heard the call of Oregon
and is responding. That the
motor touring season Of 1921 Is
going to break all existing re-
cords is agreed by all those In |
a position to know.
From local organizations that
handle touring information come |
reports OF preparations for meet
ing heavily increased demands.
This 10 not merely a biased |
thought fathered by those deeply |
iptereated In having IL como true.
There are solid grounds OF reason
for asserting that motor touring
this year will reach heights OF
on tho part Of Ameri-
can people never before attained
by any sport. Garage men, hotel
men and all manner OF CONNER
cial industries anticipate 1t and
are preparing to meet the demand.

Buick Made
Good Show
During w ar
Japanese Pay Tribute
To Service Rendered
BY Cars In Man
churia Campaign

During the world war, while
attention was focused on the
great struggle what was going on
In western Europe, a part Of tht
campaign was being carried on
by the japanese army in north
srn Manchuria and Siberia. Much
OF the territory in which fight.
ing was going on was far from
the nearest railroad, and che
transportation problem was one
Of the greatest Importance. Sup
plies Of all descriptions must pc
delivered to the fighting forces
without delay or serious Interrupt
tion. Officials must be Gu. cied
to and fro. Wounded must be
taken to the rear.
The Japanese authorities solved
the problem In this case by or
ganizing motor transport ser
vice. M
The car selected for service OF
pr ch character must OF hcres-
sfty be capable OF withstanding
the greatest amount OF abuse and
neglect without ceasing to func-
ton. 1t must be easily handled
and be free from all complication
II must also be capable Of being
easily repaired In case Of mishap.
To fulfill these exacting condi-
tions the Japanese authorities
chose the Buick--encouraged, per
haps, by the performances OF a
fleet OF these cars In the Gobi
desert, In Mongolia. a conquest
OF impossible conditions that has
become world famous. That their
confidence was not misplaced is
shown by the fact that the
Japanese distributor has received
from two different branches OF
the service citations Of the cars
used.
The first citation translated
reads:
I'VE hereby certify that the
Buick cars were In service OF the
First Automobile Corps during
the campaign in northern Man
churi aand Siberia, and which
started for the front In September
1913. The Buick cars proved
their superiority, their depend
able efficiency and the facility
Of their control and driving, de-
spite the hilly and shaggy roads
In the territories where they
were driven, withstanding hard
usage even in the depth OF winter
with the temperature so degrees

encountered with any defects In
their mechanism, and the fuel
consumption was far smaller than
the others. THE First Auto
mobile Corps.
The second citation Is as fol-
lows:

Buick motor cars, handled by the
Yanase & company. were in SER
vice Of the Second Bxpeditionary
Aeronartical corps. despatched In
Siberia, and proved the stability
OF the mechanical functions,

ing. Even In the season OF severe

mentioned, there was no defect
found In the mechanism; In short
the superiority Of the car proved
to be unusually uoteworthy."----
The Second ESpeditionary aero
nautical Force,
Not only have Bucks perform
ed services In the past that have
merited these testimonials, but
Il Is interesting to note that they
are still in service. The same
fleet of cars is being used in the
present operations OF the Japan
ese army against the Bolshsviki
IN Siberia. Neither cold nor
heavy going. nor lack OF attention
have daunted them and they bid
fair to qualify for further cita-
tions in the future.
