without some kind of evergreen
decoration at Christmas.
Foresters agree that cutting Of
Christmas trees is not inconsistent
with conservation of forests for
economic use, provided the cutting
Is scientifically done. Where trees
are cut from dense young forests
the practice is beneficial, because
thinning overcrowded stands will
leave better forest.
There is much land in the for
ested area that perhaps never will
grow anything but Christmas
trees" Mr.. Comet said, because it
is so low and cold that it would
require many generations to ma
ture a timber crop. If such lands
are properly operated and rotated,
they will produce good revenue"
Mr.. Comet explained that in the

In event any candidate lacks
majority when the electoral votes
are formally counted in the senate,
the president would be elected by
the house of representatives, and
the vice president by the senate.
Only twice has this happened.
In those instances, in 1900, the
house elected Thomas Jefferson
and in 1924, John Quincy Adams.
While an elector is not legally
required to support his partys
candidates when he formally gets
his ballot, not once in the history
Of parties as now known has any
elector pailed to do so.
Whereas, originally electors of
each state sent one set Of certified
ballots to the president of the SEN
ate by special messenger, and an
other by mail, a third to the secre-
tary of state and a fourth to the
federal judge in the district in
which the ballots were cast, under
a change in the law in 1928, all are
now transmitted by registered
mail.

EVEN TENDLER TRIES

Jimmy Slattery, still young, but robbed of all his old time skill as a light heavyweight. by injudicious living, clim b 2 through the ropes once more il Buffalo and was knocked out. But two of the warriors of thc era when Leonard, Dundee, Tend Ter, Wills, Slattery and Dempsey knew their greatest fame still car ry on in triumph.
 Old Dave Shade, the bounding one, took over an ambitious young man up in New England a few days ago. Mickey Walker is the second of the ancients to carry on in grand fashion. Mickey bat ties Max Schmel.ng the middle of this month. They can't seem to keep him down.
 In back of at least two come backs, those of Leonard and Dun dee, a contributor to Dempsey's enforced return, and for time a possible reason for Gene Tun- ney staging another offensive, stands the spectre of Wall Stree..
 All lost heavily in the crash of the markets and prosperity. Leon ards fortune, eStimatted at $500,- 900, was wiped out. So there are no illusions in Bcnny's mind. He's fighting now to eat. So far as he has accumulated another $65.000, reward of a tortlrous training cam paign, and 21 fights with young stTs who ten years ago couldn't hzte carried his water bucket.

SPORT SLAVES
(A Alll eolL1]

The craze for staging comeback campaigns, started by Jack Demp- sey and invigorated by Benny Leonard, has overwhelmed a sur prisingly large number of veter- ans in other divisions with the usual results.
 Dempsey. still comparatively young when he came out of re- tirement to beat Jack Sharkey a few years ago and stage the Hong count" demonstration with Gene Tunney in Chicago was net so young when be started his four round exhibitions last Spring. Still, in comparison with the ancient greats such as Jim Corbets and Bob Fitzsimmons, who shaded 40 and still could fight champions, Dempsey was callcw youth at 35.
 Leonard at 36, is staging the most surprising Of all comeback campaigns. The old master of the lightweights, linked with Joe Cans among the 135 pound inn mortals, really seems to have cap- tured the youth that once lost, usually is lost forever in the ring.
