PUBLIC RESPONDING
TODOCWOODP PLEA
Fewer Persons Damaging
Trees. But Need of ConSer-
vation Still Stressed.

Another week or two and the dog
wood blossoms that have filled Wash
ington's forests with bowers Of white
and pink will be gone for another
year Mother Nature, in her scheme
of life, will have turned them into
seeds. assuring to future generations
the contribution these blooms nave
given to the woodlands every Spring
In the meantime. every force avail
able will be used to protect the re-
naming dogwood blossoms from the
vandalism of misguided motorists
and mixers. whose thoughtless as
ssaults would exterminate this specie
of tree within two years If 1t con
tinued at the rate of the past rev
years Every person who goes into
the woods this Sunday and strips a
dogwood tree of its blooms not only
ruins that tree. but deprives the
forest Of the power to restock itself.
Speaking of the campaign to save
the doGwood." Arthur Newton Pack,
president of the American Nature AS
sociation. made the following state
ment and appeal today:
The campaign of The Star is hav-
ing a wonderful effect. We see less

there is no more pitiful sight than

teri seems to go wild when he gets
out into bit Of the woods.
This plea for the dogWood hooks
up with the American Nature Asso-
ciation'S drive throughout the coun-
try for outdoor good manners. People
who act most properly in their homes
and give their children the most care
full rearing allow them to run wild
when they get in the country. Dog
wood is not the only sufferer. Wild
flowers are stripped up by the roots,
picnic places are left In disgraceful
condition. condition that none OF
the parents would tolerate In or about
their own homes.
The odd thing about this freak of
the human mind is that all the dam
ago is done on other peoples prop
erty. Few seem to realize this fact.
There are laws about taking things
that belong to other people, but many
have forgotten they ever existed"
