NATURE BEST
REMEDY FOR
FROZEN TREES

Frosted trees should be given an
opportunity to regain their normal
leaf surface by letting natures
healing process proceed without in
reference, specialists in the agri-
cultural extension service Of the
University of California said today
Although it is only natural To
want TO do something for trees in
jured by cold, they said, the best
practice is to let nature take its
course. This advice applies equal
ly well to ornamental trees, shrubs,
and vines. it was pointed out.
-Four recommendations for treat
ing frosted trees are made. No
pruning of any sort should be
done before midsummer, is the ad-
vice. not even removing dead wood
Green shoots should not be re-
moved before April, as every green
leaf developing during the coming
season will aid in recovery of trees.
Based on extensive experiments
in past freezes, it is recommended
that no disinfectantS be applied OF
surgical treatments be given to
frost wounds. 1t is pointed out
that wound treatments may actual
ly retard healing in some cases
while in others such treatments arc
waste of time and money.
Heavy fertilization of frosted
trees should be avoided, specialists
say. as such trees are not in a con-
dition TO assimilate normal amount
OF plant food. In orchards ade-
quately fertilized in the past, hall
OF the normal application of avail
able nitrogen is sufficient.
Care should be taken not TO over
irrigate following freeze, as frost
ed trees require less water thar
normal trees. II the soil is KEEP
too wet. it is explained, feedel
roots will rot, and frosted tree
viii receive further setback.

Although whatever amendment

Confidence Emphasized
Confidence in the banking struc-

emphasized.
State Treasurer Charles @. john
son, speaking as representative OF
the largest depositor in California,
said There is no occasion and no
justification for any hysteria at
tending the three day business hol-
iday." He declared the state has
withdrawn no funds except those

pointed out that the state has lost
no money through bank failure in

Governor Rolph's proclamation
of the banking holiday did not
escape criticism. The Lions club OF
Chico adopted a resolution con-
demning the governor for his ac-
ton which the resolution charged
"savors of a political move for sell
fish purposes" The resolution cited
that California as whole has been
generally free from bank failures.

IN GUY CASE

GNSD The secret passageway
on the mystery yacht Carma was
to play an important role today
in the trial of William j. C"Cur-

Capt. Walter Wanderwell, globe
trotter and noted adventurer.
Edmund Zeranski, a Hollywood
camera man, one of the seven men
signed as a member of the crew
that included eight beautiful
women, who hoped for thrills on
a "riches and adventure" cruise
to the South Seas, identified Guy
as the man whose face appeared
at a portfolio on the Carma the
night of December 5 and inquired
for WanderWell.
Cuthbert Wills, the Carma's
engineer, was scheduled to take
the stand today. He also had
identified Guy as the mysterious
stranger on the yacht the night
of the killing in Wanderwell's
darkened cabin near the secret
paSSageWay.
Defense Attorney Eugene Nc
Cam intimated today he had
learned that two men, as yet un-
identified, were in the forecastle

killed. Joe Hohenshell, fisher
man, was to be called to testify
that he had knowledge the
strangers were on board the YES

EYE Of CAMERA
MAY Be USED
To SOLVE It
Original Notes of Acceptance
Speech at Chicago Handed
to Someone, But Whom?

Modern science-in the form Of
the cameras eye-may be in
voked to solve the mystery Of
the missing papers" for Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt.
The papers represented the
President-elect's original copy of
his speech accepting the Demo
cratic nomination for the Presi-
dency at the Chicago convention.
The President-elect lost the
papers in the confusion attend
ing his appearance before the con-
vention, following an airplane trip
from Albany.
Amateur Detectives Fail
All the amateur detectives in
the Democratic party have been
unable to find the original copy.
Somebody reported Mr.. Roosevelt
had handed the speech to Col.
Edwin Halsey, sergeant-at-arms
of the convention, who stood be-
side the nominee on the plat
form. Halsey denied it.
Somebody else said it was
handed to a stenographer. The
Stenographer denied it.
Mr.. Roosevelt was reported as
very desirous of getting the orig
inal since he wrote the notes in
longhand on his airplane trip. He
regards it as a historical docu-
ment.
1t was historical, too, because it
was the first speech ever written
in an airplane to be delivered be-
fore national political conven-
ton.
Movies May Bare Mystery
Consequently, Democratic lead
ers have done everything to find
the missing papers, but without
success.
The Democrats feel that the
camera cannot lie, so they plan
to rerun the motion picture reels
taken of Mr.. Rosevelt's appear
ance before the convention.
They hope the movies will re-
veal what became of the missing
papers. At least, they may show
whether he handed them to
Colonel Halsey, to the stem
ographer, or stuck them in a
pocket.
