TREE MADE MARRIAGE ALTAR
Romantic Use to Which Beautiful
Forest Specimen Has Been
Put in Texas Community.

Man has discovered many uses for
ture has provided him with, but the
young and romantic lovers of San
Saba, Tex, come forward with new
use, as they have turned a large,
spreading live oak tree into a mar
rage altar, writes R. E. McNatt In
American Forestry.
This huge oak, which Is commonly
known as the matrimonial altar,
stands like a deserted giant In the
middle Of the public road on the edge
Of San Saba All its companions have
gone down before the onrush Of man,
but In spite of the fact that this one
stands in the road, its huge size and
beauty, and the tradition that goes
with it, have saved it from the heavy
swing of the woodlands AZ.
Tradition in this part Of the coun-
Try has 1t that long before the white
man invaded the valley, brave and
daring Indian warriors and shy In
dian maidens who had been smitten
By the arrows of little Dan Cupid
stole from the wigwams and made
love under the boughs Of this huge
oak, while the moon sent Its mystic
and silvery rays down through the
leaves. e
Whether the Indian used the matri-
monial altar to WOO his future squaw
is not known, but 1t is widely
known fact that some Of the Oldest
and most prominent citizens of this
section of the country were united
for life while under the tree, and to-
day lovers still seek the shady boughs
of the spreading oak. In the spring
in June, as many as three
and four couples are sometimes mar
ried under the tree ON one SUNDAY
afternoon.

Parrots Lose Estate

A trust fund of $500 which was
provided in the will Of the late George
Hart, theatrical Lawyer, Of New YerR,
to maintain his two parrots after his
death was overruled by the Appellate

The court instructed the executors
to turn, the two parrots over to the
American Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty TO Animals, there to be
treated tenderly and in a manner
worthy of the aims and pretensions
of that society"
The rest of the will was upheld,
including a bequest of $4,000 to the

only some women are good lockers,
ii did sound that way, particularly SO
when her own good looks were con-
sidered. The reporter intimated thai
one so fortunate could well afford to
deal charitably with others.
"Oh!" she said, after puzzling the
matter for moment. Il did not mean
it that way. Anyway, beauty looks
out from within and depends very lit
tie upon mere regularity Of features.
| l have seen many women whose
charm of manner and delightful per-
sonality made one forget to study
their features"
But you said," reminded the re-
porter, that only some women were
good lockers"
"Of course did. / mean it, too,
but not the way you took it. And the
one who are not good lockers" she
said, "are good listeners. But let mo
explain.
"In my work of demonstrating the
electric range, l have discovered that
while all women, practically without
exception, are interested in learning
about cooking by wire, as we say, they
express that interest in either one or
the other of two ways. This woman
wants to learn by looking, by noting
carefully, everything that is done and
observing each. little feature of the
range in detail; this other one seems
to learn best by listening. The first
type will remember practically every
thing she saw and can go home and
explain the range and its work so
wildly that her family will almost
imagine they have one in their kit
chen. But when it comes to report
ing what was said she will get things
all jumbled up.
"The other woman, the listener, will,
be able to repeat almost word for
word everything she heard me say.
She will be just as much convinced as
the other woman, too. But If her
husband asks her to describe the
range she can do so only in the most
general terms. She knows it is splen
did and may even have ordered one
installed in her home But her hus-
band must wait until the range is de-
livered in order to know about the |
details. SO that's why I divide all !
women into two classes-lookers and /
listeners. I have some Of each in
every audience and must contrive to |
do and say things that will give each |
type the right understanding Of what |
it will mean to them to be able to
cook electrically.
''Men are to be classified by the
same rules" she said.

cept reporters, for they must both
look and listen"

CROSS ADVANCING
IN HEALTH CAMPAIGN
Extends Service to New Fields
and Brings Healing Hope to
Remote Sections.

1.-THE supreme opportunity for lead
ership" for the American Red Cross Is
its health service. Thus committee
made up of prominent physicians, SAN
itarians and public health experts,
after months of exhaustive study, re-
ported and urged that not only should
the Red Cross continue its present
service, but should undertake a
comprehensive educational campaign
along public health lines. The an
nual report of the American Red
Cross, just issued, discloses that 1t
has grasped this opportunity in the
fields of public health nursing, in
struction in home hygiene and care OF
the sick, nutrition work. first aid to
the injured and in water life-saving.
Health service is fundamentally,
historically and practically an impor-
tant function of the Red Cross, and
each year marks its extension into
new fields and along broader lines. In
the Red Cross Nursing Service there
are enrolled nearly 10000 nurses, TO-
900 of whom served during the World
War The past year Red Cross nurses
were assigned to duty in isolated
sections of Alaska and North Caro-
lima and to work among the fisher
men of Penobscot Bay, Me.
The Public Health Nursing Service,
inaugurated by the American Red
Cross in 1912, which operates chiefly
in rural sections untouched by other
public health agencies, has 1,03S Red
Cross nurses working under the d.
rection Of Chapters. This work has
won so high a regard that many OF
the nurses are taken over by the local
authorities to maintain health services
for their communities. Instruction in
Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick
is noting steady advance. Since
1914 certificates of proficiency have
been given 304,427 women who COM
pleted the Red Cross course. In the
last year 1856 certificates were
awarded and 65,901 students were I'M
der the instruction Of 1854 Red Cross
nurses.
The benefits derived from meals
balanced to meet each PERSONS pecul-
lar needs is winning widespread rec
ognition through the work Of the Red
Cross Nutrition Service, particularly
In the schools. During the school
year 2,6S8 carried on regular instruc-
ton in nutrition, reached more than
10000 children and adults. More
than $3.50 volunteers assisted in this
work. Throughout the country 1928
health meetings were held under Red
Cross auspices, attended by approx
mately 254.500 persons.

Annual Summons to
Red Cross Banner
On Arnistice Day

Americas great humanitarian effort
in behalf Of stricken Japan early in
September gave the answer to the
question, what is there for the Red
Cross to do in time of peace" What
the American Red Cross did at once
when this crushing earthquake disas-
ter came without warning showed
that it was ready on the instant with
countrywide team work to carry out
quickly and effectively the request OF
the President to lead the national eff
fort for the relief of the many thou
sands of sufferers. Preparedness to
take the field when relief is needed is
a charter duty Of the Red Cross.
Without a membership enrolled in ev-
cry community in the land this readi-
ness would be impossible. That is
why your dollar membership is most
important
1t is imperative that the structure
of the American Red Cross be made
up of millions of individual units.
Opening Armistice Day, November IL.
and closing with Thanksgiving Day,
November 30, the Roll Call this year
will penetrate to the ends of the
earth and to the ships sailing the
seven seas. The 5000 Red Cross
Chapters in the United States will
have their busy volunteers enrolling
members during this period imbued
with renewed enthusiasm due to the
recent revival of effort when the call
came from Japan.
