Washington Correspondent of the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Now
that Christmas is over and there is
no danger of spelling the holiday
spirit, the American people can be
told the sad fact that Christmas
shoppers actually paid nearly one
billion dollars in taxes on the pres
ents they bought, and few realized
that they were doing it.
The same people that would have
raised howl If congress had passed
law putting such an enormous tax
on the holiday shoppers, to be COL
lected during the past three weeks,
seemed to accept the billion dollar
burden saddled upon them very
calmly. On practically everything
shoppers purchased a tariff exac-
ton was included in the price.

Amber in United States.

The worlds greatest source of am
Der is the shores of the Baltic sea.
Amber is the fossilized resin of Several
species Of pine trees. In small guam
titles it has been found in various
parts of the globe, including the United
States, but up to within a compara-
lively recent period no American de-
post of amber extensive enough to be
of commercial value has been discov-
cred Not so long ago, however, am
Der was found at Cape Sable, on the
Magothy river, in Maryland. and this
arouses the hope that it may yet be
discovered in paying quantities in this
country. The deposit at Cope Sable
has been known since 1921, but only
lately has a careful Investigation Of
it been made. The fossil tree trunks
in which bits of amber are embedded
are not, like those of the Baltic region,
pines, but are believed by the discov-
erer to be specimens of the sequoia.-

EnnIishman,a Afternoon Tea.

Writes an Englishwoman: THE
Frenchman dimes with mellowness
and JOY in living The American thrills
by doing something differently. The
German expands under the influence
of opera with ham sandwiches. The
English love of Journalism makes tea
a regular institution, and then pro-
ceeds about it, except its everyday ex-
istence. Nor does this apply to any
particular class. The cottage tea,
with it's big loaf and its thick black
liquor, is just as much of an institu-
ton as is the cathedral tea, with a
delicate blend from China and thin
bread and butter. There is the same
warm and generous feeling about it
as in the crispness Of the falling leaf
and the pungent smell Of its burning
and the glow OF it's flames against the
blue mist of the darkening afternoon"

Meaning of Picnic.

Most people know what it is to en-
joy p-cnic; not all can fell how the
name of this form Of Entertainment
originated. The explanation accord
ing to one derivation, is simple. When
a picnic was being arranged it was
the custom for those who were to be
present to promise to supply food and
drink. A list of the things necessary
was drawn up and passed round each
person picking out tie a,ticles he or
she would supply. The name of the
article was "nicked' on the list-that
is to say, a mark was placed against
it. The open-air entertainment thus
came to be known as pick and nick"
The custom is said to date from 1902.

ATTENTION TO STRAWBERRIES
Where Plants Have Made Vigorous
Growth 1t May Be Necessary
to Straighten Edges.

Strawberries invariably require at
tention during the early winter. If
they have made a vigorous growth
and the rows are a solid mat of
plants, it may be necessary to
straighten the edges of the rows and
thin the plants to some extent A lit
tie later after the ground freezes
slightly mulch of straw, pine
needles, or leaves should be worked
in among the plants and between the
rows. If the strawberry bed is so To-
Gated that it is exposed to winds, 1t
may be necessary to lay bean poles or
brush over the mulch to keep it from
blowing away. Raspberries, black
berries, dewberries and currants
should have any grass or weeds
cleaned away from them, and. a mulch
of coarse manure placed around them
during the autumn or early winter.

Orchards known to be infested with

soon as the trees are defoliated by

better 1t win be for the trees as

Strip of Wire Window Screen Will
Prove Effective in Keeping Away

Protect young apple trees from dam
age by beetles with an 1S-inch strip of
wire window screen tied securely
around the tree and held away from
the trunk a few inches by means of
stakes. Let the screen extend a few
inches below the surface and fill in the
top with old sacking. This repels the
chocolate and cream colored beetles,
which deposit eggs in the bark near
the base of the tree from which are
Matched the round-headed apple borers.
The screen also protects trees from
