THINGS U SU By T. T. MAXEY
THE STONE FOREST

The wonders of the earth on which we live, and particularly that portion which we call America, are intensely interesting The forest turned to stone" In Apache county, Arizona, is one of the natural wonders of Amer lea. Congress so concluded, at the same time putting to end the ma licious acts of those who were hostile to the preservation of its treasures. when In lo06 1t passed An act for the preservation of American anuqui- ties" President Roosevelt placed the forest under the protection of the gov ernment, designating 1t ''The Terrified Forest National monument"-for the perpetual enjoyment of the people.
 Here. at an elevation of about one mile above Sea level, lying in the open and scattered over thousands of acres and in all conceivable positions, is profusion of millions of tons of fallen trees turned to stone-agate. jasper. opal-"the most brilliant aggregation of jewels on the globe" The dominat- Ing feature is a natural bridge formed by petrifed trunk of agate and jas per which spans 60-foot-wide canyon.
 How come? The solution of that question has puzzled the greatest stu dents of the structure of our earth, the physical changes which 1t has un- dergone. and the causes which have operated to produce these changes.
 The general supposition seems to be that in time far beyond the reach of record-a million or more years ago. a giant woodland fourished here Some great catastrophe. most likely an earthquake moved 1t down and, in the reshaping of the earth's crust, an inland lake or sea was formed above this sunken forest Seepage from springs of salt. sulphur and other min eral content penetrated every fiber of this wood-the prolonged period of saturation gradually pickling the wood to stone.
 At length. another age was ushered in. An upheayal as tremendous as 1t was mysterious awakened this sleep ing, thls forgotten forest and 1t was belched up to the top of the earth again. to a place in the Arizona sun.
 There are three divisions of this forest. The first, famous for Its bright cOlors. is six miles from Adamana; the second Is two and one-half miles farther on. Here the trees are large ly intact. many of them highly col Ored: the third is ten and one-half miles farther southwest and by reason of the striking colors has earned To cally the name of Rainbow forest.

FURS SEIZED

Is the country along the Stikine north of the international boundary a bona fide game preserve?
 That is question that will nov be threshed out.
 l In order 10 stop illegal trapping the British Columbia police and game wardens of the L. s. Biologi- cal Survey have been conducting 8 joint patrol along the border. Sev- eral arrests were made on the Unuk | river.
 Last week E. NJ. Goddard and Od- die Hallson, American game war dens. and Corporal Van Dyke of the B. C. police made trip up the Stik- inc
 At the government cabin a short poral Van Dyke found a number Of pelts out in plain view. He took down the skins and counted them and waited for the trappers to re- turn. Finally. Walter Julian and Charles Olson, both Canadian citi- zens. showed up. Van Dyke is re- ported to have asked them their names and after writing them down to have asked them if they did not know that they were trapping on a reserve. The men replied that they had never seen any notices pos. ed to the effect that it was a game reserve The policeman asked the trappers if they had licenses, whereupon they both produced li- censes. Corporal Van Dyke told the men that their furs. valued at about s600.00, would be confscated and he gave the men receipts for their pelts.
 In commenting on the occurrence Walter Julian says that he and Ol- son were living right on the banks of the Stikine and were open and above board in their trapping ac- tivities with no thought of keeping out of sight of game wardens or anyone else He says he still does not believe that the ground or which he and Olson were trapping is bona fide reserve. However, he adds that this incident will un- doubtedly result in some definite in formation on the subject He states that he has placed his case in the hands of a lawyer and that he is not only asking that the confiscated furs be returned to him, but that he be awarded s100O.00 damages for being taken of the grounds on which he had arranged to do his seasons trapping.

Several weeks ago complaint was made to the Town Council that the big pole which once supported the antenna for a radio station was de- caying and that life and property were endangered by its unsafe con- dition. A committee from the coun- cil investigated and were of the opinion that there was ground for complaint. as there were indications of decay. In the immediate vicin- ity of this pole are several resi- dences while the school house and the adjoining playground are just across the street from where the pole is standing.
 The council directed it's clerk to report the matter to Col. J. D. T. Hartman of the War Department. who is in charge of the Washington Alaska Military Cable and Tele- graph system.
 Colonel Hartman was away when the communication was received at his office. but upon his return he is- sued an order to C. E. Smith. officer in charge of the local cable office. to have the pole taken down.

ALL OUT OF SORTS?
So Was This Good Woman Who Tells
Her Experience

All too often women accept cher
pains and aches as natural to their
sex. They fail to realize that weak
kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy spells
and that tired, depressed feeling
Thousands have found new health and
strength by helping che weakened
kidneys with Doan's Pills-a stimulant
diuretic. This case is one of many in
this locality.
Mrs. E. O'Ouinn, 1902 S. Park Ave
Triton, Ga, says: 81 had sharp shoot
ing pains in my back and then again a
continuous dull ache. Mornings my
back was stiff and I had trouble gett-
ing on my shoes. had headaches and
dizzy spells. I was weak and it was
with difficulty 1 managed to do my
homework. I used Doan's Pills and
soon all symptoms left. I have had
no return of the trouble"

VALUABLE ASSISTANCE FOR
JUVENILE DELINQUENTS

ATLANTA, Feb. 10-Valuable as.
sistance in the care and handling OF
Juvenile delinquents and dependents
throughout the South has been given
by the Juvenile Protective Assocla-
ton with southern headquarters IN
Atlanta. according to reports received
here from court officials and civic or
CARNATIONS.
Officials OF the association, discuss
ing the reports, state that the agenc es
which it helped to set afoot have been
instrumental in retaining more than
10000 children during the past year.
Efforts of the association, it was sta
ted. have been directed toward the es--
tablishment of Juvenile Courts and
probation systems, many of VII Oh are
now in operation over the south. Kew
Crawford Jackson, through whose
work the juvenile association was es-
tablshed many years ago, spends ms
time largely in travelling over the
South in the interest of the association.
The work of the association, which
! is intended to reform and rightly dl-
rect hayward youths who have beer
deprived of the proper parental pro-
lection, is being extended to practical
" every part of the south" said Mr..
Jackson today on his return from an
extended trip. More and more are
leading men and women taking an
interest in this great child welfare
work, they realizing an interest in one
of the greatest human endeavors, and
one which most largely contributes to
clean government. 1t is generally con
coded, that any effort to help boys and
girls. to discipline them, to train them
in obedience to authority and to de-
develop them along the lines that our
organization is seeking to do, is wor-
thy of the most serious consideration. .
The organization of branches of the
association in various cities lot the
south has resulted in securing legisla-
tive acts creating juvenile courts and
probation systems. it was stated b.
Mr.. Jackson. These courts and pro-
baton systems, he stated, have done
much toward reducing juvenile .delin-
qucncy, though such delinquency IS
still to be found in many sections. Ad-
ditional juvenile courts are being ere
ated and will soon be i'll operation IN
several cities, it was announced here
today by officials OF the assoc alton.
