What Causes the Ridges ON Trees to
Run Up and Down?
The ridges in the bark of a tree
are caused by the diameter growth
of the tree, which takes place in the
layers beneath the bark. This splits
the old bark into vertical lines and
produces the ridges.

ARLINGTON COUNTY
SHOWS TAX GAIN
Commissioner Green Also Re-
ports Increase in Property
Valuations.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
Stan Correspondent Of The Star.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE. Va, September 23.-The an
nual financial report OF Arlington Coun-
ty for 1928, as made public today by
Commissioner of Revenue Harry *.
Green, reveals an increase in valuations
over 1928 of 81 ,002,931 and an increase
in local taxes of $19,929.99.
According to the report the increase
Is due to new improvements, since the
rate of taxation has not been icfeased
and in the case of Washington district
has been lowered 10 cents on the 500
valuation.
Schools lead in the amount of taxes
assessed. The schools will this year
receive a total of 1902, 686.O2 from the
county and approximately $4,000 from
the State, making total Of 1857 ,686.02.
The amount received from county tax
alton is $10,568.03 over that received
for 1928.
Taxes for Roads.
For roads the county taxes will
amount to $17953063. This is an in
crease of but $82099 over 1928, due to
the fact that the. 10-cent reduction in
Washington district was taken from
the road bonds. This amount will be
supplemented by between sos 900 and
$4,000 returned from the State in gas
oline taxes, making a total for county
roads of approximately $245,000. To
this should be added the State alloca-
tions for new roads and maintenance,
which this year amounts to about $780,
900. The total road funds from State
and county will amount to over $500, 900
for this year, according to Green.
There were 16887 capitations taxes
assessed in 1929, showing an increase Of
1910 over 1928. Since the capitation
taxes are assessed only against adults
it Is estimated that the total increase
in population for the year was $500.
The land books show 8,l54 homes and
\ buildings assessed in 1929, which Is an
increase over 1928 of 279 and an in
ca ease of 4.576 over 1920, showing that
inn less than 10 years the improvements
in a he county have more than doubled.
The total valuation for the three
dtstriA'ts for the year is $28,713,119, and
the tol al levies, $725, 498.47, which are
