PLANT TREES ALONG ROADS
Entire Stretch Of Sixty Miles Of Paved
Highway in New Jersey to Be
4 ~ Beautified.

Beahrifying New Jersey highways by
planting shade trees. started years ago
In scattered districts by Individual e.
forts, has been given considerable slim
illus by the Endorsement of the new
state highway commission and wom-
ems organizations In different counties.
The movement. an outgrowth of the
World war memorial idea, is for utility
as well as beauty The trees will
serve as guard rails along highways
leading to the sea.
Camden county is given credit fos
the most ambitious scheme OF tree
planting. Through the movement, orig
mated by women's clubs, the entire
stretch of 60 miles of paved highway
from the Delaware river to the Attain
tic on the White Horse pike route
is to be- beautified.
At the present time beautiful shaded
highways are to be found in sections
Of Salem and Gloucester counties.
where most of the trees were planted
more than fifty years ago. The plan.
as favored by the state department OF
forestry. entails cooperation on the
part of communities and counties In
the systematic planting of trees.
1t has been suggested thar different
kinds of trees he. planted on different
highways. Instead of being Identified
by numbers the state routes eventual
ly might be known as Maple, Elm or
Spruce routes.
Cherry. apple and other fruit trees
have been planted in double rows for
short distances on some of the roads.
This idea has met with approval by-fn-
dividuals. who say 1t carries out In
fashion the italian idea of having
grapes growing along the public ways
Dogwood has added variety in some
rural sections; and big land owner
has planted chestnut trees along. one
of the roads. sT
Road experts say shaded highways
last longer. as the trees protect the
pavement from the deterioration of in-
tense. heat in summer and serve as
windbreaks to keep the roads clear of
snow in winter Drainage also is i'm
proved. these men say. and the tree
roots prevent water undermining the

People throughout this country are

hut no one doubts the purity of Doctor
Pierce's vegetable medicines, for they
have been so favorably known for over
fifty years that everyone knows they ara
just what they are claimed to be. Thsse
medicines are the result of long research
by we'll known physician, R. V. Pierce,
NJ. D., who compounded them from
health-giving herbs and roots long used
in sickness by the Indians. DR.. Pierce's
reputation as leading and honored
citizen of Buffalo, is sufficient gnaran-

Assistant Attorney General Would Tighten Govern

 Although the law punishes any one who assaults a federal officer while serving process, Mir. Grim pointed out that the federal statutes provide no punishment if the officer Is mur- dered under such circumstances. This situation, he said, should be cor rected by Congress.
 Sending of threatening letters through the mail unless 1t is in a fraud scheme or for extortion, is an other act. Mir. Grim said, for which there is no penalty

Two investigations On Today

WASHINGTON. Oct 21.-Inquiries by the two Senate committees are set down for tomorrow in advance of the assembling of the new Congress. Others will get under way soon, and as a number of the leaders and many of the rank and file of the member ship are gathering in Washington the capital again will be the scene of the comparative activity of eight months of congressional vacation"
 One of the investigations started will be that into the veterans bu- reau by a select committee composed Cf Senator Reed, republican, Penn sylvania, chairman; Oddie, repub- 1ican, Nevada, and Walsh, democrat. Massachusetts. The other will be conducted by the Senate public lands committee. Senator Shoot, repub- hcan, Utah, chairman of the leasing of the naval oil reserve In Wyoming, known as "tea pot dome"
 Maj. Gen. John F. O'Ryan of New York, will conduct the inquiry into the veterans bureau and will call as the first witness Brig. Gen Frank Hines, retired, director of the bu- reau.
 Much Of the interest in the "tea pot dome" inquiry centers on the re- ports of the geologists who surveyed ehe oil reserve to determine whether there had been drainage of the fields by wells sunk in nearby terri tory.

] OC K M [ N WILL BE ON JOB TODAY
Unions Head Holds Out For Contract From Ship
 ing Board

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 21.-Union longshoremen and cotton screwmen will be at work on the river front to- morrow for the first time since Sep tember 13, when the eAtire member ship of the locals here went on strike, demanding an increase from 65 to so cents an hour and certain changes in working rules.
 This announcement was made to- night by c. J. Santa Cruz, representa- tive of the United States shipping board, who, acting for the board, demands for the increased wage scale.
 Several ships of one of the four companies which operate shipping board vessels will employ union men in loading freight at the public cot ton warehouse tomorrow morning, Mir. Cruz said.
 A statement was expected tomor- row from Harry Keegan, head of the river workers, regarding his demand for working contract with the ship ping board. if this is possible.
 It was understood today that no ar- rar Sements had been made for con- centrating shipping board vessels at one wharf as was decided at Fridays conference. and that it will be the middle of the week or later before plans are completed for resumption of work by union labGrers.
 It was believed the decision to handle all shipping board vessels from one wharf would avoid friction between union and non-union work CTS in the transfer of work from the latter to the former.
 It was also reported that Harry Keegan, president of the longshore- men'sa union, desired further time to determine whether the shipping board might sign a contract with union men.
 Mir. Keegan is said to have decided that his men would hesitate about returning to work despite the in- crease from 65 to so cents an hour by the shipping board unless a con- tract was entered into. providing his attorneys held that the board might enter such an agreement.
 Independent shippers, who were not affected by the shipping board S action, will continue to operate with non union labor.

Creek shopkeeper Declines To Accept
 German Money For Matches
 MOBILE, Ala, Oct. 21.-(Special Leased Wire.) German marks, mean nothing, at least not very much, in the life of Greek shop keeper Tn Mobile. Especially since the tremendous decline in their monetary value. He prefers to steer clear of them and so expressed him. self to a prospective customer. The would-be purchaser called for 8 one cent box of matches. The Greek hauled out a tiny pasteboard pack age. The man on the opposite side of the counter extended a hand to receive it and simultaneously dis played 20,00o marks as payment.
 But the transaction was never completed and never will be. The Greek shook his head and pulled back the matches; no German marks for him; not at that rate. He feared that they might become more use- less. He did not want to run the risk. The prospective purchaser, still in possession of the 10000 marks, walked out of the door. That was several days ago, but the Greek storek keeper continues to emphasize "Yes, we have no matches today none to trade for German marks"
