Furnished Free by State For
estry Department.

The State Department Of Forestry
offers to furnish this spring a suffi-
cient number of trees for planting five
miles Of improved, public highway.
Seven species Of trees are available
willow oak, white ash, green ash,
honey locust, tulip poplar, larch and
cypress. This list offers a sufficient
variety to meet a wide range of con-
ditions. The trees will be distributed
to responsible organizations or indi-
viduals, for planting not less than
one-quarter mile nor over one mile,
on both sides of the highway. There
must be sufficient space to plant the
trees within the right-o of the
highway and far enough from the
center of the roadway to meet road
requirements.
Applications will be filled in the or
der received, but preference will be
given to the locations that are best
adapted for tree planting and where
the greatest public benefit will be Sc
cured. The Forestry Department will
examine locations where paintings are
proposed to determine their adapta-
bility. Where planting is practicable
a definite plan will then be prepared
and submitted to the parties inter
ested.
Full particulars and application
forms will be sent upon request to

King Amanullah of Afghanistan,
ousted from his throne and country
with his short-skirted queen by re-
voting tribesmen who didn't like his
new tangled western notions, has the
sympathy of American editors al
though they appreciate, as the King
himself probably does now, that he
attempted too much speed as a re-
former.
Gle was a forceful ruler, in birth
and breeding a fit chieftain Of the
warlike Pathans," attests the Phila-
delphia Record. Had he been con-
tent to exemplify their primitive
ideals, he might have held his throne
indefinitely subject only to the nor
NAL hazards of assassination and
! tribal rebellion. But it was his mis-
fortune to become a crusader for
progress in a most unpromising re-
gion, and to discover the unchanging
truth that the wise man does not

in the end he addicted and removed
himself and his unveiled queen and
her short skirts from the inhospitable
capital. He meant well. But his fate
furnished fresh evidence too far
ahead of public opinion only makes
trouble for himself and Others"
"The King made one vital mis-
take" according to the New York
Evening Post, gin attempting to force
his European reforms down the
threats of his subjects. He forgot
that, unlike him, they had not paid
visits to the Western world. 1t is a
victory not only for tradition but also
for national individuality and for the
picturesque, which the Afghans have
won. The retention of their customs
might prove boon to tourists, eX-
cept for the unfortunate fact that a
tourist trade is one of the Western
innovations which they still refuse to
adopt"

cone spot on the globe" explains
the Indianapolis Star, still provides
fine field for the imagination. While
this fact may seem somewhat insig
nifcant in a materialistic age, it is
matter for some qualification that
stark reality has not taken romance
entirely out of the lives of our con-
sentative brethren in a distant cor
ner of another continent. The AT
ghans have rallied to the cause of
bigger and better imaginations.

customs of centuries are not to yield

sisted that the imagination should
still have some play. Of course, they
may have been moved somewhat by
visions of the mounting bills for silk
stockings, rouge and lipstick. An any
rate, style reform has been indefinite
ly postponed"
"The fundamental error Amanullah
made" advises the Nashville Banner,
was in supposing that his subjects
could be induced to run before they
learned to walk, in the paths of West
ern ideas and ideals. His efforts at
reform had every commendable phase
except for the all-important fact that
they were ill-timed and injudicious.
He has doubtless set back the clock
many years in Afghanistan and GER
tainly offers the world one more
striking commentary on the frequent
futility of good intentions unsupport-
ed by power to put them into definite
effect. In the Shinwaris, too, he was
dealing with a people in whom the
spirit of liberty burns high and
bright, even though it finds ways of
expression that are both queer and
deplorable to our minds"
One explanation, which comes from
the Kalamazoo Gazette is that, he
placed a ridiculously high value on
the Importance of externals-on mat
tiers of dress and tonsorial fashion
and thus aroused the wrath of sub
iects who might otherwise have taken
more kindly to the really worth
while items on his program of re-
form AS it is, Amanullah has played
into the hands of reaction. Although
it was the last thing in the world he
wished to do, he has stimulated all
of the religious and social prejudices
of his country and has given new
strength to the odd guard Of AT
ghanistan. His place in history will
be among the many Jealous reform
ers whose ambition led them to bite
off more than they could chew"
"Now it will be wondered" sug-
gests the Baltimore Sun, whether
or not these internal disturbances will
lead to any changes in the attitude of
Russia and England. Afghanistan
4 has been reorganized as an indepen-
dent kingdom, but in recent years
both of these powers have steadily
competed for her friendship. The
situation is reported to be obscure
and doubtless it is. But it is in OBJ
security that many new developments
are born. All that can be said now
is that an ambitious experiment
seems very definitely to have come
to an end, in revolt and confusion,
and that Amanullah has. probably
shown himself a wise man in deciding
to leave"

STRANGER AT SPORTS

BELMONT, N. C., May 22.-It might pay U. S. Olympic team coaches to keep their eye on Paul (Tessie) Campbell, who is starting out like he means to get somewhere in the sports world.
 Paul, 19-year- student at Belmont Abbey college was a stranger to sports until he enter ed the school last fall. Thus far he has managed to accomplish the following; Playing golf for the first time he was runner-up to the medalist with a card of 42.
 In his first year in football he made regular guard. A newcomer to baseball, he re- gently turned in a no run, two-hit ! pitching performance against Ashe- vile high.
 At tennis the other day he de- feated Frank Hemby of Charlotte, ace of the schools net stars. Folks hereabouts are wondering what "Tessie" will do when he gets started.

FOUR BROTHERS ROW
 ON COLLEGE CREWS

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, -.-.y a. The four MacKusick brothers of Winthrop, Mass, form one of the rowingest families anywhere.
 Meredith H. MacKusick rows on the Harvard 15O pound crew. Will liam P. and Byron MacKusick are stroke and No. respectively on the 150 pound crew of the Massachus- etts Institute of Technology. Young Arthur MacKusick, also of M. I T., also rowed. But he's only a cousin, so his absence from the shells on the Charles river doesn't really detract from the MacKusick brothers rowing average.
 All of the MacKusicks, incidental ly. are going to be engineers. Mere dith, a Harvard junior is special izing in electrical engineering. Bly, ron, Tech junior, is specializing in chemical engineering William, also Tech junior, is specializing in civil engineering. Arthur, the fresh man, will specialize in mechanical engineering. And Cousin Webster, now Tech senior, is to be aschem- ical engineer.
 All of the boys prepared at the same school, Winthrop High. But none participated in athletics those days.

Newton, one of his secretaries, to eS-

interests and members of the House

AS the lobby group turned to the fur

New York attorney employed by the
Cuba company, who has been deScrib-

dicated at the White House that the
Chief Executive proposed to maintain

sugar imports from the Philippines. and
had rrned that the plans of the Cen

any attempt to keep traffic lane open
between the Philippines and the United
States would be promptly abandoned"
Plans Usually Secret.
The letter aroused considerable inter-

The lobby committee recalled Shat
