On December 8, 1881, he was on his

Tepeyac mountain sweet music reached
his ear. On looking up he beheld a
beautiful woman CARRIED as an Indian

TREES, SCIENTISTS TOPIC
Climatic Records Of Centuries In
dicated by Rings.

The story of how science is read
ing in the rings of trees a remark
able record of ancient weather con-
ditions. which may be used to ev-
plain the enigma Of modern climatic
variations, will be told by DR.. A. E.
Douglass, director of Steward OBJ
servatory and professor of astronomy
at the University of Arizona, in an
illustrated lecture at $50 o'clock this
evening in the administration build
ing of the Carnegie Institution of
Washington, Sixteenth and P streets
northwest.
A study of tree rings has enabled
science to determine the kind Of
weather that prevailed in various
parts of this continent in the four
teenth century, and data has been
compiled regarding the characteris-
tics of droughts for the past 500
years. DR.. Douglass will explain verb
ally and photographically how the
trees have served as records of
climatic conditions somewhat like the
rocks have served as records of evo-
luton.
The lecture will be open to the
public, a few seats having been re-
served for invited guests. The doors
of the auditorium will be opened at

return either the seals sent them or
remittances will use the stamped in
closed envelope always sent with the

return envelope has on it's reverse
side the name of the sender, SO that
the contribution can be easily identi-
fed and credited to the giver. If
this Is not done, the money has to be

therapy department of the society are
now on exhibition and sale at the
Social Service House, 1922 Eleventh

articles of woodcraft and leather
work, all suitable for Christmas pres
ents. The exhibit has been much COM
mended by those who have seen 1T as
most creditable to the patients who
have made the different articles. Re-
ceipts from their sale after deducting
cost of materials and production go
to the patients themselves. The chief
value of the work has been found not
to be the dollars and cents received
from the sale of these articles, but
the curative value of the work itself
in giving new hope and courage to
the patients.

CHAUTAUQUA LADIES
NOW SELLING TICKETS

Several committees of Chautau-
qua ladies are busy today selling
season tickets to the annual sea-
son of Chautauqua, which begins
here this week. These ladies are
working in the interest of the
Americas and Sumter County Hos
pital association, and it is explain
ed that the association will share
in the proceeds of all tickets dis
posed of by them. After the
Chautauqua begins the association
no longer participates in the sale Of
the tickets, and it can be seen readi-
ly that as many of these season
tickets should be disposed Of as
possible prior to the beginning Of
the Chautauqua.
The Redpath Chautauqua pro-
gram has been secured for Ameri-
Gus this season by a committee Of
Americas men and women, who are
backing the hospital association in
the venture, and the program to be
presented here April 2 to 7 inclus-
i've, is one Of the best yet provided
for this community.
Cooperating with the Chautau-
qua authorities, the pastors Of all
Of the Protestant church in Amer
cisu, except Calvary, have agreed
to eliminate their usual mid-week
prayer services, in order to permit
their members to attend the entire
Chautauqua course without inter-
ruption. This cooperation is great
ly appreciated by those interested
in the success Of the Chautauqua.
if was stated this morning, as it is
expected this movement will learge-
~ increase attendance throughout

CANDIDATES. GROOMING
FOR JAY PEA PLACE

Although the date of the election
has not yet been formally fixed, a
number of names are already be-
ing discussed upon the streets as
possible successors to the late F.
w. Griffin as justice of the peace
in Americas district. This office,
which is classed among the minor
positions at the courthouse, is new
ertheless a most important one, 1t
is declared, and being on a fee
basis is a renunerative post as well.
H. C. Davis, who has been clerk
in JUSTICE Griffin's office during
some time past, is one of those
whose name has been mentioned in
connection with the office, and
that of j. M. Shy is also being talk
ed among his friends as a suitable
man for the place. John Rushin,
who is now engaged in business on
Cotton avenue, is also being dis
eussed as candidate for the place,
he having opposed Justice Griffin
and being defeated by only very
narrow margin.
J. C. Graham, young Americas
lawyer, man exceptionally well
qualified for the position, and w.
A. Harden, who has many friends
here, are also being mentioned in
connection with the vacancy caus-
ed by the death of Justic Griffin,
and it is expected the race for the
place will be one of the most spirit
ed yet staged for q similar position.
An election to fill the vacancy
must be called within the time al
lowed by law by Judge J. N.
Carter in his official capacity.

The flood waters Of Wills creek
and the Potomac river are return
ing to their channels today leaving
scenes of desolation in their wake.
Only one small section was under
water in the city proper Sunday
night and the water was receding
rapidly. Ridgely and Dixie, how
ever, two towns on the West Vr
GINA side of the Potomac, remain
ed inundated, as was a wide area
in the lower Potomac valley.
The greatest damage in Cum
berland was the destruction of -four
miles Of newly paved streets
Foundations of many buildings
were weakened, plate glass win
dows broken and much damage to
merchandise was caused by flood
ed Easements.
The railroads were the heaviest
hit by the flood. The four-span

swept away rs were other struc-
lures at Maple Run and Oakmont.
