EDWARDS SOUNDS
PLEAFOR lockwood
Tree Association Director
Asks That U. S. Put Forests
on Idle Land.

A plea to preserve the towering dog
wood was delivered by Russell r. Ed
wards, director of the educational work
Of the American Tree Association of
Washington, In an address yesterday at
the Arbor day celebration at the high
school at Gaithersburg, Md.
Mr.. Edwards urged the high school
pupils and members of the Women S
Club and Garden Club who were pres
emit. to join in the vigorous campaign
being waged in washington to protect
the tree.
The support from the American Tree
Association threw added weight into the
night to prevent vandals from stripping
of Towering branches In this vicinity.
This practice in the past has killed of
many trees, and the anti-vandalism
campaign Is being pursued with In
creased persistence this year.
Help Of Public Asked.
"Arbor day and approach Of Amer
lean Forest week." Mr.. Edwards said.
turns the thought Of the American
people to trees. The thought Of trees
should 60 a step further and then you
arrive at the thought there are millions
OF acres Of idle land ut for nothing
but growing trees.
4
viii put trees on those Idle acres. The
value OF public opinion is shown in the
good wrok Of The washington Star on
behalf Of the dogwood. We now see
fewer and fewer evidences of the raid
ers with autos filled with these beauti-
full blooms. This gift of Nature should
be left for all to see."
Then in behalf of general reforesta-
ton, he added:
Now why not apply the force Of
public opinion to idle acres and see
what will happen? That is exactly
what the American Tree Association,
under the direction Of Charles Lathrop
Pack. Is doing. He has given 100000
forestry primers to the schools of the
country so that the public opinion of
tomorrow will realize the economic
situation facing the Nation.
Says Maryland Could Save.
1.-THE State of Maryland imports about
900, 600 900 board feet of lumber to
keep her home building and industrial
going. Why not produce some
of that lumber on the idle land in the
State and eliminate the freight bill the
consumer has to pay? There is no
article Of commerce into which the cost
of lumber does not enter, and when
you say lumber you mean trees.
"Arbor days are great things. They
help to turn the thought Of the people
to trees. The American people must
become forestry minded. They must
look ahead 100 years. With our popu-
iation increasing at the rate Of 1,000.-
900 a year, the American people must
enter into a wholesale forest planting,
not tree planting, state of mind. The
future economic supremacy Of the Ma
ton depends upon trees"

to whom the views of the exchange
were outlined, as saying he would con-

conference that Senator Smoot told
them that 1t was not feasible to demol-

The suggestion had been made that
the surplus of labor be dissipated by
concentrating on that work. Smoot was
quoted as saying that contracts for
Government buildings had been let up
to all money available.
The contractors and subcontractors
will meet at 2525 PENNSYLVANIA avenue
tonight, under auspices Of the exchange,
to discuss plans for meeting the request

that local contractors were not working

BEAU GESTE" AT
 COLISEUM, SUNDAY

The screen version Of one of the most popular romantic action nov- els in recent years, Beau Geste,' , will make it's first appearance in Juneau on Sunday at the Coliseum.
 This thrilling story of romance, mystery and adventure in the French Foreign Legion with the theme of the devotion of three brothers powerfully depicted, has been transferred to the screen by Paramount on a scale never sur- passed by any previous production.
 For the filming of this novel, Di- rector Herbert Brenon led an army of 2,000 men into the Great Ameri- can Desert for three months during which the exterior scenes were made.
 Ronald Colman plays the title part, that of the eldest of three brothers who each leave home with out telling the others, to enlist in the French Foreign Legion under assumed names in order to shield each other from the blame for the theft of famous sapphire. Neil Hamilton and Ralph Forbes enact the other brothers.
 It also causes Noah Beery, as the brutal adjutant, the cruelest beast and bravest soldier" in the Legion, to reach the pinnacle of his notable screen career.
 Other prominent players in Beau Geste" include Alice Joyce, Mary Brian, Willia m Powell, Norman Trevor and Victor McLaglan.
