Helen Twelvetrees says: Il believe in
ten1perance-and don't mean prohi-
bition, either"
On the long-and -short-of-it she adds
"Ndy present definition of anathema is
a woman who wears q long, gracefully
draped frock, obviously designed for
formal afternoon use, when she goes
shopping. If she. adds a bracelet, a
necklace, two or three pins on her dress
or hat, and wears spiked heels, you have
a picture Of my pet aversion.
despite the temptation Of new
styles" she continues, the woman who
really wants to be smart will temper
desire with wisdom in selecting her
street clothes. She will purchase them
longer, of course, but will choose one of
the lovely two or three piece ensembles
which reach 3 or 4 inches below the
knees. She will purchase frocks with
longer hemlines, perhaps uneven ones
for afternoon or formal luncheons, and
will reserve the ankle-length gowns for
the evening"

evening Of March 18 in the east

Formation of a gliding unit of
the Standards Flying club will
be considered at Tuesdays meet

berShip in the unit is open to
all government employees, not only
to those of the Bureau Of STAN
dardS.
Lieut.. Barnaby's talk will be
illustrated with movies showing
glider flights under varying con-
ditions. Glider practice, according
to Victor L. Rowe, secretary
treasurer of the Standard Flying
Club, really constitutes practical
preparation for motor flying.
Rowe pointed out that motor
less gliders can now be bought
for $3.50 to $500 and small
engined gliders can be purchased
for $500. There is little danger
in gliding, he said, as the landing
speed of a glider is about equal to
the effect of Jumping from a
6-foot fence.

REFORESTAT|ON
IN VIRGINIA
INCREASES

CHARLOTTaVILLE, Va, March
14.-Four hundred thousand small
forest tree seedlings are available
for the reforestation Of idle lands
in Virginia this spring, according
to an announcement just neing
issued from the University OF Vir-
ginia by the Virginia Forest Ser
vice.
Chaplin Jones, State forester, in
discussing reforeStation, said that
while the number Of trees being
planted in Virginia is small when
compared with paintings in Penn
Sylvania and New York, where
100000 and 25.000,000 were
planted last year, reforestation in
Virginia has increased remarkably
within the year Just past.
Planting done in 1929 showed
an increase of 800 per cent when
compared with the number of
Seeding trees set out during
1925" said the State forester. IF
there is a similar increase during
1880 it viii become necessary for
the Virginia Forest Service to
greatly increase the capacity Of
its nursery at the university.
"At the present time the mum
ber Of trees applied for is greatly
In excess Of the number requested
at similar times in previous years
Shipping of trees will begin in
about a week. In the average
season the last two weeks in
March is the best time of the
whole year for reforestation work.
Trees are shipped in lots of
not less than 100 Of kind. The
charge for them is very low, in
order to encourage the reforeSta-
ton of lands that would other.
wise be unproductive. Convenient
application forms describing the
trees and stating terms Of dis
tribution can be secured by any.
