SAYSFRAz|ER MAY
RETURN TO c. O.P.
No Reason for Denying His
Request Is Pennsylvania
Senator's View.

All doubt about the willingness Of
the Republicans to receive Senator
Frazier of North Dakota back into the
party fold disappeared today. Senator
David Reed of Pennsylvania an.
nounced that If Senator Frazier tasks
to be classed hereafter as a Repub-
lican, I see no reason why his request
should not be granted"
Senator Reed said in amplif1cation Of
this statement that no formal request
Of the Republican caucus by Senator
Frazier was to be expected, but that
a mere indication that he wished to
be classed as a Republican would be
sufficient.
. 1t has already been developed, It
was learned today, that Senator
Frazier would be glad to affiliate with
the Republican orga niZation If he Is
to be given the craftsmanship Of the
Indian affairs committee in the
Seventieth Congress, to which he
been read out Of the party organiza-
ton two years ago, along with the
late Senators La Toilette and Ladd
and Senator-elect Brookhart.
Senator Reed Of Pennsylvania was
the author of the resolution which
was adopted two years ago by the Re-
publican caucus Of the Senate ousting
Senator Frazier from the party coun.
ellis. Senator Frazier has always in
sisted that he was a Republican and q
better Republican than many Of those
who voted to oust him.

The manufacture and use Of medi-

indigo and cochineal. in which Mexico
was long supreme, are described in de-
tail. The export from Mexico Of hard
wood and of gums, such as copal. FOR
varnish and incense. is a thriving in

In the preparation Of this exhaus-
tive work, Mr.. Stanley spent several
years assembling data published IN
innumerable scattered and rare papers
concerning Mexican plants, or taken
from notes made by Mr.. Standley and
other botanists who have worked In
Mexico. There has not existed hereto
fore any modern account or compend-
ium of the Mexican plants and their
uses. in spite of constant demand for
dependable information.
Mr.. Standley's descriptions are
based upon the extensive series of
Mexican plants in the National Her
barium. the most comprehensive COL
lection from that country, and largely
obtained during the past 80 years by
special investigators sent out by the
Smithsonian Institution and the De.
partment Of Agriculture. In the prep
aration of the work the author had
the cooperation Of officials of the
Mexican government and Of numer-
Gus residents in that country, and
many requests have been received
from Mexico for copies Of the volume
Mr.. Standley is now working on a
similar monograph covering all the
Towering plants Of Central America.

of the Sequoia National Park to send
about five specimens Of the trees here
for planting in the local parks.
It has not been decided just where

probably thrive. He pointed out that
in nature they are not usually found

ALL WOODY PLANTS
IN MEXICO LISTED
Smithsonian Publishes Their
Local Names and De.
ScribeS Their Uses.

A description Of all the known
woody plants of Mexico, some $500 in
ell, with their local names and con-
else accounts Of their economic uses,
Is the monumental work just COM
pleted by the Smithsonian Institution
with the publication Of Part V of
Trees and Shrubs of Mexico" con-
st1tuting Volume 23 Of the contribu-
tions from the National Herbarium.
The author of the volume, which
contains more than 100 pages, Is
Paul G. Standley, associate curator Of
plants In the National Museum, under
the Smithsonian. He began the task
In 1918, the first part was published
In 1920, and the succeeding parts have
appeared at intervals. The publication
has already proved so valuable in in
dustrial work, as well as to botanists,
that the first two parts are out of
print and unobtainable.
The immediate economic Importance
or this Smithsonian publication results
from the great number Of products
OF commercial value furnished by
Mexican plants. They include hene-
quen fiber, essential for the harvest
ing Of our wheat crop; palm oil. fine
cabinet woods. cacao. from which
cocoa and chocolate are prepared: rub.
Der, drugs. alcohol and many fruits.
Mr.. Standley's book indicates the
regions of Mexico in which these
plants grow, and the uses made of
their products.
Gives Names I'm Vernacular.
Furthermore, it performs the unique
service Of giving for these plants the
vernacular names, by which they are
known locally and in commerce. Ger
