William A. Frederick. landscape

the Bahama Islands recently in an
effort to save the life Of the world 5
largest kapok. or "sillk-cotton" tree,
has returned to Washington with the
news that ne found the tree literally
starving to death"
The British colonial authorities at
whose urgent request Mr.. Frederick
made the journey, are in possession
of a special menu recommended by
Uncle Sans tree wizard and they
feel confident, as does Mr.. Frederick,
that the famous tree, a landmark OF
Nassau the Bahamas capital. will
revive and live to a ripper old age.
1t will cost the island officials thou

for the new feeding system prescribed
by the Capi:ol's landscape expert, but
they are more than willing to do this
in order to save the giant tree, Mr..

Concrete Had Encroached.
The big tree. adjacent to the gov,
eminent building and post office. was
suffering from lack of food" Mr..
Frederick said yesterday. Trees need
nourishment as well as humans, and
il was not getting ii, because of the
encrOachmcnt of concrete rOadWaNS
and other construction projects over
the root area, especially on one side.
THE side of the tree nearest these
cement roadWays showed noticeably
the effects of this mistrea tment. most
of the large limbs being missing.
The tree before the loss of these
great branches had a spread OF $50
feet whereas now 1t has a spread OF
only los feet The diameter of the
peculiar root formation is ~ feet
and the circumference is 1851 feet.
The topmost foliage is 60 feet from
the base"
Mr. Frederick found island officials
have virtually no equipment for car
rying out his recommendations. Not
a saw was to had in Nassau, he de-
clared, and competent help is not
available. For that reason F. c. Van
Zeylen, government engineer for the
bahamas, is expected TO send to the
United States and engage profess
sional tree experts to do the job.
ODeTdtlOHS .AISO EcFIOEfntu.
Nassau officials were told to re
move large sections of concrete
roadway bordering the tree and
cover the ground with mulch. Ger
tain Surgical operations to the
tree itself were suggested, also.
Officials indicated their Willingness to
do anything necessary
The Nassau tree IS believed TO have
been transplanted from Central or
South America more than 200 years
ago. It has survived the variable
tropical weather all those years,
and passed unscathed through the
recent West Indian hurricane which
devastated much of Nassau.
The tree is called silk cotton
from the fiber obtain ed from it's
fruit 1t is of the deciduous family
and is known technically as "Ceiba
pentrandra" or "Eriodendron."

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE

When airplanes shower Gown a sprsy
OF arsenate of lead,
And by the tens of thousands slay
The pro9eny you bred.
With hatred kindling in my eye,
To view the scene I'll go,
And as 1 watch the dastards die
Ill hiss: II told you sou
Fer you, upon a summer night,
Came sailing through the gloom,
And winged your shri11y, whining
flight
About my sleeping room;
And while I sought to locate you
By your deceptive song,
Around my helpless form you flew
And bit me all night long.
Alas, you safely scared away
Upon the zephyr's breath
To die, upon the following day
A peaceful, natural leath.
And though your children now are
slain,
It gives me scant relief
For you, a senseless clod remain,
Oblivious to grief.
I'll joy to hear the dying gasps
Of all the evil lot
Of these envenomed winged asps
Which you last year begot.
But every ointment has it's fly,
I'm cheated of my due,
And though your race all perish,
Still wish I'd sWatted you!

the American Research corporation
for having done more than any other
scientist to promote human happiness
through his ductless gland discover

health.
At luncheon in Baltimore he told
story.
"The hardest people to make happy
are the neurasthenic,'' he said. They
imagine they are wretched, and any
thing you do for them only makes
them wretcheder.
"A man was talking to a doctor
about his neurasthenic wife.
"'My wife imagines,' he said, that
every noise means burglar. She
keeps awake half the night.

burglars work in silence
