 TOSAVE WII.DFLOWERS

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22.-Ad- ditional steps in campaign to save the wildflowers will be discussed at conference to be held here April 26 in connection with the eighth an nual California Wild Flower show mich is to be held under the aus pices of the Wild Flower Conserva- tion League. Nature lovers, scien- lists and members of out-of door or ganizations are expected to attend
 Within recent years the league has had passd bill forbidding mutila- ton of the town, the Christmas berry of California and now it is planning to preserve more wildflowers from destruction.
 Among the beautiful wild plants that are diminishing in many local ities," said Mrs. Bertha M. Rice, San Francisco, director of the state ex- hibit and head of the league, "are the Towering currant, mission bell, mariposa lilies, leopard and Washing ton lilies and rhododendron. Even the golden poppy of California has suffered much from ruthless hands.
 "An effort will be made to pre- vent the commercialization of these plants and their uprooting ~along the highways as we'll as on private pro- perty. An educational campaign is now being conducted through schools clubs and other organizations"

TALL ACTRESS HAS BUSHEL
 OF WOES

LONDON, Feb. 22.-"In any other
 profession than mine to be tall is an
 asset" declares Viola Tree, famous comedy actress and seventy four-i inch
 daughter of Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree
 "But to be a tall actress!" says Miss Tree That is quite another
 matter. The tall actress has to con- slider So many things when she is rehearsing. She must not walk with long strides, but she must hit the happy mean or she will mince along absurdly. She must kneel on a chair lounge or sit when talking to a shorter member of the cast, or her height will be too obvious and make the scene ridiculous.
 When it comes to matters of dress the difficulty is very real. I have to think out my stage frocks very care fully indeed, although, being stock size in everything but height, I have little trouble i'll private life. You see, anything that adds to
 the height is dangerous. Your hats must, where possible, be broad -brim-
 med and droop, or be of the flat Tam O Shanter description. And shoes! I have long, narrow feet and high
 insteps, but shoe to show off these
 good points must have high heels.
 "Of course, if you happen to be of
 tragedienne height is not such a drawbacks; but prefer comedy part . But I yearn in vain. No one expects tall woman to frivol on the stage, although they are not always serious in real life"
