APPLE IS CARVED
 FROM WOOD OF TREE

VANCOUVER, Wash, Feb 5. - A duplicate of an apple from one of the oldest trees, it is said, has been carved from the wood of the tree itself, and is now owned by A. A. Quarnberg of this city. The tree was planted in 1926 and is located on the Vancouver barracks, where it continues to thrive.
 The seeds, it is claimed, were placed in the ground 96 years ago by an Eng fish officer, stationed at the barracks when Vancouver was in possession of the Hudson Bay Company and under the British flag. His sweetheart in England sent him the seeds, and the tree is often called the "lovers' apple tree"

SIX UNNAMED PINNICLES
 LASSEN NATIONAL PARK

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5.-There are today six unnamed pinnacles with an average elevation of 5000 feet between Broke-off Mountain and Las sen Peak, according to the Mt. Las sen Geographical Research Society, which has formed an advisory com the six names. Permission has been received from the National Park Service, Washington, D. C., to select names for the peaks in the Lassen Volcanic National Park.
 Lassen Peak, located in Shasta County, is the only active volcanic mountain in the continental United States. The first eruption of Lassen Peak, of which there is any record in modern times, occurred on May 30, 1914. The last big volcanic out break was on May 22, 1915.
 Mrs. Frederick H. Colburn, of San Francisco, president of the society, said the advisory committee com prising Dr. David Starr Jordan, Prof. Ruliff S. Holway, James D. Phelan, former United States Senator, Rep resentative John E. Raker and Lewis F. Byington, will select names of pioneer men and women, Indian names and deScriDtiVe titles
 This, Mrs. Colburn says, will give an opportunity to bring out the his tory, legend and story of each local ity Four counties, Lassen, Shastt P1umas and Tehama touch the noun tain and are partially included in the national park reserve. After the six names are selected, the committee will then devote it's efforts to the selection of names for other peaks. There are, Mrs. Col burn says, hundreds of peaks to be named, as there are said to be 365 craters visible from the top of Las sen Peak, of which only fifty have been named.
 The Mount Lassen Geographical Society, headquarters in San Fran cisco, has asked for suggestions for names from club women, civic organ izations, teachers and others inter- ested.

FEAR SPREAD RABIES
 AMONG THE WOLVES

ALTURAS, Cal, Feb. 5.-Another scourage of rabid wolves is feared for Modoc County and adjacent re- gions. Several coyotes, made des- perate and fearless by the malady, have been sighted at widely separ- ated points, which prompts the be- lief that a general spread of rabies will ensue.
 About three years ago, rabid wolves and coyotes became so numerous in this county that people in the fields and on the roads were in constant danger, and several persons were attacked with fatal results. coyote in that condition does not hesitate to enter a farm yard or even a house, and is regarded as particularly dan- gerOus beast.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The ten acity with which golf has gripped Washington sport lovers is attested in an announcement by Lieutenant Colonel Clarence o. Sherrill, super intendent of buildings and grounds, that next spring the Government will open up two new public nine-hole courses here. At present the Gov ernment maintains two nine-hole and a four-hole practice coruse.
 One of the new courses will be an addition to the present nine-hole course in beautiful East Potomac Park. in the shadow of the Washing ton Monument and the Lincoln Mem orial, where next season will be staged the national public links championship tourney. The other is in Rock Creek Park, which leading golfers have declared to be one of the "sporties" public links in the United States Divided by a creek, it is built over series of rolling hills, which afford natural hazards and handicaps.
 Because of the congestion of the present public links, caused by the rapidly growing golf army, Colonel Sherrill has announced an unusual system of qualifications for contest ants. Only the "elite" will be per mitted in Rock Creek; "dubs" are to be barred there. Before playing in Rock Creek golfers must first be able to shoot 62 or better on the nine-hole course in East Potomac. And in turn, before playing in East Potomac, all contestants must turn in at least a card of 25 on the four-hole prac

 Dr. Charles Lane, who attended Mrs. Kirby's daughter, testified at the trial that Mrs. Kirby had placed the baby face down in the pillows of the crib immediately after it was born.
 Returning next day he found the baby had disappeared.
 Mrs. Kirby's alleged statement, be- fore the child's birth, that it must be gotten away with if born alive" was also part of the testimony held i'm proper by attorneys for the temper ance worker.

is to be traced TO too much govern
ment in business" Government regu-
lates everything from post holes to
department OF reindeer in Alaska. The
annual reports made by the Governor
of the Territory to the interior de-
partment read like the complaint made

"Elegy." Perhaps if private initiative

have been altogether different.

Things start usually in whisper in
the national capital. and after awhile
rumors take definite shape and form.
The whisper in Washington is persist
ent. and the whisperers say that there
will be a special session OF congress
in the fall Plenty of reason are given
as to why such a session should be
called But. really. all the o.d-timers
have been expecting as much. and this
correspondence carried the prediction
weeks ago that the lawmakers would
be called together when vacation time
and hot weather are over.
How's Business?
The federal government has devel-
oped the greatest machinery known in
history for determining the pulse. tenn
perature and heart action of the ma
ton. Statistical organizations have
been built up in Washington within
the past ten years that will beat out
adding machines when il comes TO
footing up sales and records. II is at
least comforting to know that this
public machinery produces very few
figures to indicate that there is any
thing particularly wrong with business
conditions throughout the country.
Stacking up OF production in some in
dustries has been noted. but there is
no explanation to harmonic with the
jiggsaw movements in the stock mar
ket which tend to show that business
is on the blink. The public balance

enjoying its normally" and that there
