Il Murderer of Trees

YOU'VE seen the spongy growths which
sometimes sprout like little shelves pro-
jecting from the sides of trees
These are thready plants which victimize the
tree. shooting yards Of their grasping threads
throughout the wood and often, in the end,
killing the tree
The shelf or bracket-shaped growths are
called bracket-molds, and they are often living
in the tree before there is q sign Of them show
ing on the outside
They only stick out Of the bark before tney
form seeds, or spores. as they are called Then
the gray cream or orange colored shelves
appear making excellent drawing boards-tor
their undersdes are soft, and initials carved
into them when they are fresh, or secret signs
or pictures last almost forever, once the growth
hardens with age. Nearly every Summer cot

WEARS ago I was going through the State
Of Washington 0hen a Territory on my
way to the sea when I CHANGED upon 6iwash
Indian camp in the mountains, where a band
Of Quinault Indians had come to get supply
Of salmon for Winter food
These Indians all talk Chinook, a language
I know also, and because could converse with
them they were friendly toward me. camped
with them that night, and they agreed to take
me down the river to the sea with them next
day, in one of their salmon-loaded dugout ca
noes. They warned me that the trip would be
fast and dangerous, but. knowing that these
Indians were superb boatmen, didn't hesitate
to go with them.
Bright and early we showed of and went
dancing away on the swift current. And II
WAS realIv some current. I have run many
rivers in a canoe alone or with Indians, out
this was the widest water had ever Travelled.
We lodged boulders by inches, and plunged
through rapids with foam roaring around us
so we couldn't see 10 feet ahead, but we man
aged somehow to get along.
Then, at the top Of smooth plunge Of water,
the canoe struck submerged boulder, and the
tearing water lifted it like feather, hurting IL
down the plunge. My Indian companion and
we're thrown back in little eddy where the
current wasn't so swift, and We climbed from
the icy water upon rock The water was
really cold, for it came from the melting snow
banks in the mountains around us.
We talked it over, and decided the only thing
we could do was go on down. swimming as best
we could with the current To stay on the rock
meant only death, for we couldn't get ashore,
and it was hopeless to try to swim against the
current.
So in we dived! For the next few minutes

farther and farther through the tree, until the
whole tree Is killed.
One way of preventing living trees from be-
ing attacked by the hundreds of thousands of
tiny mold spores that are floating invisibly ev-
erywhere in the air is by painting the wound
with some chemical in which the mold cannot
grow.
Certain kinds of trees are more resistant to
the mold than others. Cedars, for instance,
are less easily killed by the an-penetrating
threads than are pines and ashes Consequent
ly, cedar posts are more durable in the moist
places which the mold enjoys than pine or ash.

scissors. The darts are now ready to shoot.
You will be surprised at the distance they
will travel and at the true, straight line they
will follow to the mark aimed at Some Of the
darts will travel SO fast the eye cannot follow
their flight When shooting the darts at a
bull's-eye pin points can be stuck in the heads.
The darts will then stick where they hit.
In making these darts 1t is q good idea TO
make them in lots of a dozen more at one
time. First make the notches in all of the
sticks. Then split the ends for the feathers,
insert the paper and final trim. In this way
you have large supply of the darts and Will
quickly catch on to the knack of notching and
feathering them for quantity production.

What Is 1t?

IT Is the only animal in the world that can
fly, it has only two legs, and it hangs itseR
up to sleep. What is it?
Bats can fly as we'll as BIRDS they hunt for
food twice a day-in the morning just before
daybreak, and at dusk. They get their food
without stopping their flight for they catch
night insects as they swoop through the air.
Have you ever noticed bats swooping and
whirling above a quiet pool? They get their
drinks without stopping in their flight simply
by darting down and getting swallows OF water
as they swoop
The bat unlike most animals has only two
legs The bones of what might have been an
other pair form instead frame for the wings
on which, when spread for flight, the thin,
strong skin is stretched tightly like the cloth
on an open umbrella.
Bats do not have nests. When they get
sleepy, they simply go and hang themselves up
side down by the hooks on their wings from a
nail or peg or branch.
The mother bat has little pocket in which
she carries her babies when she goes hunting.
When they become too large to ride IN her
pocket, she hangs them up in a safe place until
she returns.
Bats are like bears in that they hibernate
during the Winter But they do not 60 into
dens for their long Sleep They like to hang
themselves in old sheds or barns, and you would
think they were frozen stiff, but in the Spring
they will thaw out and again dart and swoop
at night.
Many people are afraid of bats, but they
need not be, for these interesting creatures are
not only harmless, but they do a great deal Of
good. They eat great quantities OF insects, such
as mosquitoes and beetles, which are harmful
to plants. s7"'

Coecl for Your Sled

[ low often, as you have raced downhill on
! your sled or been pulled swiftly along by
your trained dog, have you wished for trans
parent shield to keep the snow out of your
face? A sled cowl will do just that. Two
light strap irons and piece Of celluloid from
an old auto curtain all the materials needed.
II you have drill that will make six holes
through the strap iron easily, then strap iron
three quarters inch wide and one quarter inch
thick should be used. If you have no drill then
use strap iron that is thin enough so that you
can punch the holes with steel punch and
hammer for the rivets and screws.
If your sled has a solid top that Is straight
across at the front, so much the better, for
then you can make a tight fit Of the cowl and
sled Drill or punch two holes through one
end of the strap iron for the screws, then make
four smaller holes for the rivets. Each iron
should be about 20 inches long. Bend each to
its shape and fasten them to the sled with the
screws Cut the celluloid to f1t and get some
soft copper washers long enough for the pur-
pose Put the heads underneath and to better
hold the thin celluloid, use large washers also.
Then rivet the celluloid in position.

you can remove it whenever desired Its addi-

y with little effort and less expense.
And you will have as much fun as
though you had gone to lot OF trouble anu
spent q lot of money.
For example match sculpture Is easy with
sharp thin-bladed knife. The arms OF the
characters are made from thin shvers OF WOOD
cut from the sides of the matchstick and bent
slightly outward. The legs are made by split
ting the bottom end Of the matchstick halfway
up the stick, and bending each leg outward by
creasing the bend with the thumbnail.
Trees and bushes are thin slivers from the
sides of the matchstick. To give tree height,
two matchsticks should be glued together The
legs Of the running man, the man sitting down
and the hind legs of the dog are broken at the
joints, then held together with tiny drops oil
glue. These match characters can be made In
score of positions, simply by bending and
gluing. For first attempts use burned matches
for practice. In q short time two or three cuts
on 0 matchstick will enable you to produce q
man with his arms and legs in almost any po-
sition.
A RROW darts are another thing you can
~ make from matches. They can be shot
from 200 to 300 feet with a common rubber
band over the fingers in the same manner as
when shooting paper wads. The matchsticks
are notched about one inch from the head with
. sharp pocket knife. This notch should be
deep enough so the rubber band will fit into it.
The matchsticks must then be "feathered."

they need cream or a bit Of butter

Sweet potato pudding is a favorite
Southern dish. Sometimes it is called

for dessert or less sweet for service at
the main course. In my many Southern
cook books there are dozens Of recipes
for sweet potato pone, all Of them diff
fering in seasoning and sweetening
Most of these recipes call for grated
raw potato, all of them for a little
sugar, salt, butter and some spices.
The liquid may be water or milk and
orange rind, molasses or cherry the

eggs. The spices used are mace, nut
meg, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, all spice,
and one even calls for black pepper. Ap-
parently there is only one rule for fla
voring sweet potato pone and that is
your own taste.
Both squash and pumpkins furnish
good foundation materials for preserves
and spiced pickles. Pumpkin chips are
perhaps best known among this type
of preserves, and you will find that
either pumpkin or squash can be spiced

Cranberry Pie.-This is a Thanksgiv-
ing dainty which must not be omitted.
Roll some short pastry about third
of an inch thick, line slightly creased
pans with it and fill with cranberry
sauce, then cut strips of the pastry and
place them criss-cross over the pie.
Bake in medium oven for Is minutes.
Cranberry Mold.-Dissolve one pack
age of lemon gelatin in one and one
half cupfuls Of boiling water. Cool.
When slightly thickened add the juice
of half lemon, half cupful OF finely
cut celery. half a cupful of canned
pineapple, crushed, and one cupful Of
thick cranberry sauce slightly sweet
ened. Turn into individual molds.
Place in an automatic refrigerator until
firm and chilled. Serve on a bed of
crisp lettuce. Garnish with light
mayonnaise mixed with a little minced
green pepper.
Spiced Cranberries-Wash and pick
over five cupfuls of cranberries, Cover
with cold water. Place in the sauce
pan with the cranberries a spice bag
containing six cloves, four allspice, two
blades of mace. two sticks of cinna-
mon and small piece Of dried lemon
peel Simmer until the cranberries
burst open. Remove the spice bag and
add three cupfuls of sugar. Simmer
until clear. Chill thoroughly.
Candied Cranberries-This makes a
very good confection. The berries
must. of course, be very perfect for
candying. A sirup of one cupful of
sugar and quarter of cupful of water
boiled until it becomes very brittle in
cold water is prepared: then the ber-
ries, very few at time, are dropped
into it and cooked just two or three sec
onds, when they should be SKINNED out
and drained on a sieve. Sprinkle lightly
with granulated sugar while drying.
Cranberry Sherbet.-Cook quart of
cranberries in water to cover them until
they are soft enough to crush easily;
then rub them through a sieve, add
two cupfuls of sugar and the juice of
lemon, stir over the fire until the
sugar Is well dissolved, then cool and
freeze just to the mushy stage. Serve
in sherbet glasses with roast fowl.

Just seen how the garnish of brazed
onions and chestnuts may make plain
duck most distinctive dish. So, too,
may we use turnips and oranges.
Brazed duck with orange-Braze the
duck, adding to the brazing liquor some
orange and lemon juice with little of
the peels finely shredded Place the
duck on a platter and surround with
quarters of uncooked oranges from
which the outer skins have been re-
moved.
Follow the same procedure for duck
with little turnips. Braze the fowl and
garnish with shaped turnips which have
been tossed in butter and cooked in
braZing stock.
