We are apt TO divide the tree fam

grouped the old familiar trees-ma-
pies. oaks, elms. beeches-treeS that
we plant when we want setting Tor

or shade to rest in. in ire second
class are grouped the familiar. small
Towering trees-dogwoods. hawthorns,
the Towering cherries. the crab alb
pies. trees used for screening the
lawn or in the flower garden.
In our quest for one or the other OF
these groups We sometimes forget
that there are trees which will an
swer both purposes. which are large
enough to cast an apprecfable amount
of shade and which also give the de
light of flowers. On the small place.
where space is limited and every ef-
feet must count. these double pur-
pose" trees are particularly desirable.
Whoever has owned an evergreen mag
nola beautiful always with It's glossy
green leaves, has enjoyed II even more
in the Summer when It's waxE white
blossoms appear.
Among the large Towering trees.
which give boti. shade and flowers

clusters OF long. narrow beans of the
catalpa, TIE Paulownia has round.
hard seed pods in groups. which open

tree long after it's leaves have fallen.
Because the seeds of both trees are SO
conspicuous they can be easily recog

distinguished at glance by the color
Of their flowers. Instead of the speck-
led white of catalpa blossoms, the
Paulownia bears similar clusters of q

post OF the American Legion. number
ing more than a thousand ex service
men living on the continent. takes
issue with Senator Caraways state
ment that the graves of American
soldiers in France have been des-
ecrated. These allegations have been
published in the Paris papers and the
legion post has cablcd the Arkansas
Senator asking for proof.
Senator Caraway's statement is re-
garded here as preposterous. especial
ly since the American dead are buried
In military cemeteries which are
under the care of American super.
visors. One explanation of the Cara
way statement Is that Il is a, re.
Warped version Of the store told BY
George Carter. former Governor Of
Hawaii, several years ago, that Quen-
tin Roosevelts tombstone had been
mutilated. The explanation of that
incident was that Quentin was buried
where he fell on private property and
his grave was unfcnccd. A farm cart
making h short turn accidentally mar
red the headstone
