The piney woods were still, listening.

Then he was gone, and father put his arm
around mother and clucked to the horses.
Mary Alice thought at first that mother was
crying, but she was not; she was quite still.
Aren't we going to see Uncle Charley again?"
Mary Alice asked.
Hush, Mary Alice!" said father.
The piney woods were filled with strange
ness; the gray, straight trunks moved stealthily,
and the road was glimmer that went out
in darkness ahead. But Mary Alice slipped
away from all vague wonderings into the coz-
ness of sleep.

A DOZEN tiny trees, all that survived ship
ment from Madagascar to Southern Cali
fornia, may speed greatly the establishment Of
duction of rubber.
These little trees, Euphorbia intiey are sur
vivors of great number of forbears that raised
the rubber production in Madagascar from
10000 Kilograms to 100000 Kilograms in a sim
gle year, before the ruthless raids upon the for
ests almost wiped them out.
Southern Madagascar has climatic conditions
similar to those of Southern California. and it
is hoped that the trees win do as well north of
the Equator as they did south. Cuttings will
be made from the little trees as they become
firmly established, and every effort will be bent
to speed their production.
Euphorba is genus of plants of worldwide
distribution. 1t has 500 varieties, including the
poinsettia and number of milky juiced orna-
mentals familiar in California.
According to French reports, Euphorbia intiey
was discovered in 1891 by Madagascar half
caste, who saw a native boy playing drum
with a rubber head. He asked the boy the
source of the rubber and the child pointed out
the tree.
So rapid was the subsequent production Of
rubber from trees of this type that the supply
was quickly exhausted and the source almost as
quickly forgotten. Little is known of the history
of the tree.
According to the French writer who reported
on the tree, 1t attained diameter of foot
and grew to 20 feet or more in height. The
largest tree found by Dr. Charles F. Swingle

"Oh, Mother" said Mary Alice, aren't you

Mother scrunched her up tight in her warm

300-yard fifth hole at Washington the
