RED OAK,
Quercus Rubra.

TINE oak is the symbol of sturdi-
ness and strength and has
played a great part in this
country. The early settlers
found the wood to be most
satisfactory for many purposes and.
feeling that the supply would never be
exhausted, gave no thought to planting
this tree.
The red oak is our largest oak tree
and where it has plenty of room
and sunshine it often reaches the
height of $50 feet, with diameter of
from 4 to 6 feet. Its range is from
Nova Scotia to Virginia.
In Europe this tree is highly priced
and has been under cultivation for over
two centuries. In England, Germany
and France they are pointed to with
pride, as the lovely tree turns beau
tiful deep red in the Autumn and the
native oaks in Europe do not. The
red oak has so much in its favor, one
wonders why it is not used more for
parks and street planting. 1t is un-
usually handsome, grows quickly and
is not bothered with insect pests.
The tree reaches its perfection
when planted on well drained ground
near streams and swamps. but will do
well in a variety Of soils. While 1t

The bark is rich in tannic acid, which
Is used for tanning leather.
The flowers appear when the leaves
are. half grown which is about the
first of June. The stam1nate catkins
are yellow and hairy, 10 inches
long and the pistillate flowers are on
short stems. The bloom is very abun-
dant and the pollen drifts to the
ground in clouds with the strong
Spring winds.
The leaves are alternate tn 8

lobed and from to 9 inches long.
Through the Summer they are
glossy green; in the Autumn and until
almost Christmas they are deep red.
The acorns are not ripe until the sec
ond Autumn. They are large, about 4
inches long and seated in scaly saucers.
The kernel is white and bitter. Squir-
rels seem to prize them. Most animals
leave the acorns alone The nuts are
one Of the ways to identify the tree.
The tree can be transplanted even
when it is Is fest high. Though
taken from the deep forest and planted
in the lawn, if care be taken, the tree
will not show any sign of the change.
After 1t is well established it will in
crease a foot or more in height each
year and an increase in diameter Of
about an inch of wood every five years.
Red oak is found chiefly from Maine
to the mountains of Georgia and Ala
bama and from Minnesota to Arkansas.
The greatest number to be found today
Is in West Virginia. A mature tree is
about 80 feet high and 2 to 8 feet
in diameter.
Plant the acorns in open places If
you cannot find a small red oak and
watch it grow and add beauty to the
landscape year after year.

man who was supposed to pay the SOL
diers, decided to issue money OF his
own. Since he did not have a printing
press, he collected all the packs OF cards
he could and cut them into pieces. Each
card was cut into four pieces and each
pieces-when duly signed became a
promise to pay as soon as money ar
rived from France.
The pieces Of card were accepted by
traders as payment for supplies. In
other words, they took the place OF
real money"
This plan worked SO well that it was
tried again and again in later years.
Many persons in Canada besides the
soldiers and traders made use OF the
playing card money.
The first paper money" was issued
in China almost 2.100 years ago. 1t
was made of parchment rather than
paper, the skin of white deer being
cut into squares for the purpose.
In Mongolia and Tibet. there are
sections where tea money is en-
ployed This is formed of tea pressed
into small bricks. Each brick carries
an imprint which stands for promise
to pay a certain amount We cannot
call this paper money, but it is close
to it.
When plague or famine comes to
China, some of the Chinese try to pro-
tect themselves by burning paper which
has been called spirit money" Pieces
of this paper are also cast into rivers.
1t is believed by some that such action
will ward of the attacks Of demons who
are causing the trouble. We must not
suppose, however. that such belief Is
held by the more intelligent Chinese.

Experience as Teacher.

several years since ffrst began Won
dering about this old adage. I have

some one, somewhere, some time,

OF course. If you hold that experience
and learning are equivalents. one and
the same thing, then the old adage is
true. I deny that experience Is the
same thing as learning. 1t seems to
me that experience Is the foundation OF
learning, but sometimes we don't use
enough of that foundation.

Leopold and Loeb, sons of wealthy
Chicagoans, we're arrested a little
later, were saved from capital pun
ishment by the eloquence of their
lawyer, Clarence Darrow, and now
are serving life sentences in the
state prison at Joliet, Ill.
Almost equally notorious was the
tragedy of 12-year-old Marian Par
ker, kidnapped in Los Angeles in
December, 1927, by William Edward
Hickman.
The girls father, high official in
bank, received a note a few days
later demanding $500 for return

and was given the dead body of his
daughter, horribly INITIATED.
Hickman was caught later and

States-until his body was found
in a swamp near the town where
he lived.
He had been murdered and
shortly after the discovery of the
body the father of one of his play

the crime.

A few days later she. was found

her own.
Baby Corine was none the worse

In 1923 Albany, N. Y, was stirred
by the kidnapping of Leopold Mink

He had been kidnapped by a
nursemaid, who longed to have a

In 1910 little Billy Whitla was
