Bark of a Lice Oak

THE most astonishing thing about cork s
its cheapness
Considering the difficulty of producing cork,
the wonder is that it is not as expensive as
diamonds. Every bit of cork takes more than
is years to grow
Cork is really the bark of q particular kind
of oak tree that grows in Southern Europe
and Northern Africa. The oak, which is called
live oak because it never loses its leaves,
doesn't produce bark or cork Immediately. The
first cork is stripped from the tree after it is
between is and 20 years old, and this first
cork crop is of the poorest quality. The next
crop cannot be harvested for eight or nine
years more and thereafter eight or nine years
must elapse between each stripping of the tree.
The Oldest trees produce the best cork, and,
strangely enough, the trees do not suffer from
periodic stripping of their bark because the
outside layers of bark contain none of the liv-
ing cells. The cork which is the outside bark,
Is produced within the tree and forced outward,
and its removal does not affect the living tree
within
The cork is stripped from the tree by being
split down from the top of the trunk to the
bottom and sometimes cut around. It is re-

tried not to think about his ap-
preaching battle with Jack Graves.
But when school was dismissed he
- walked grimly out of the building,
determined to give Jack more than
he had bargained for.
But Just as he reached the sidewalk outside
the building, boy whom he knew to be Herb
Mills, foot ball quarterback and brother OF
Emily Mills, fell into step beside him.
"Hello Hickman" said Herb in a friendly
voice "Ronnie Duncan was telling me about
the little scrap you had with Jack Graves
eyes," said George briefly. He was scanning
the crowd of students pouring from the build
ing looking for Jack
"Well, there's not going to be any fight, after
ALL" Herb announced, linking his arm through
Georges. "Jack has decided that he doesn't
want to fight you"
"Oh, he has!" cried George. "Weu, how
about me? haven't decided that I don't want
to fight him. I'm tired of his riding"
"I know, but there mustn't be any fight"
said Herb persuasively. 1t won't do anybody
any good. If you'll call it of, Jack will be
willing to forget it. He'll be out in a minute
and you and he can shake hands. That's all
there will be to it,
lust then Ronne joined them and he added
- his urging to Herbs They assured George
tnaC MS hOnof WOuld not Suuer from giving
up the fight, and pointed out how harmful the
encounter might be.
George wasn't easy to convince but he
realized that these boys were his friends and
that they knew the ropes around Hamilton
High far better than he did. So he finally
consented to do as they wished.

waiting to see the promised battle. A murmur
Of excitement ran through 1t as George and
his two companions took up a post at one
corner of the building. louder murmur fol-
lowed minute later. when Jack Graves ap-
peared-accompanied by Emily Mills!
Jack walked over toward George staggering
q little and smiling at the crowd. Directly in
front of George he paused and thrust out his
hand
"The fights of, Hick,' he said loudly. "A
young lady has asked me to forget about it
and never refuse ladys request"
George was completely taken by surprise by
this statement. But automatically he showed
out his hand and gripped Jacks briefly. Then
the idol of the Junior Glass turned and walked
away, while a little burst of applause came
from the students. They were openly admiring
Jack for his chivalrous gesture!
George turned angrily to Herb and Ronnie
This makes me look like . boob" he cried
hotly. Everybody thinks he Is letting me OH

easy. I've changed my mind. I'm going to
fight him!"
He started after Jack, but Herb and
Ronnie gripped his arms and hustled him
way. They managed to talk him out of his
anger and assured him that things were better
left they were.
Don't be impatient fellal" said Herb
finally, slapping him on the back YOU'RE new
in this school and everything Is on his side
ME tells me you are coming out for foot ball"
George admitted that he was.
Great stuff" said Herb. you look like
you had the stuff and we need men like you.
Well. I'll be seeing you at practice"
Then Herb Mills left with a friendly fare
WELL After he had gone Ronnie admitted that
stopping the fight had been his work.
Il spoke to Herb and he agreed that scrap
ping with Jack was the worst thing you could
do," Ronnie said. $50 he got Emily, his sister,
to call Jack of. Jack will do anything Emily
says. She knows how to work on his vanity"
WELL" said George doubtfully, "T guess
you know what you're doing, but 1t doesn't
make me feel very good"
Listen, Hicky,' said Ronnie earnestly-and
George didn't mind the nickname coming from
him-"I know the ins and outs of this school.
I wouldn't give you q bum steer and you can
take my word for it that avoiding this fight
q wise move. For one thing. you've got
to know Herb Mills and that won't hurt you.
Remember, he's foot ball quarterback and presi-
dent Of Lions Head He's one of the fellows
that really matter around here"
A ND that ended the matter of the fight.
Gradually George came to believe that Rom
ME was right, for in the days that followed
Jack Graves let him strictly alone. And by the
end Of the week thoughts of everything else
were driven out of Georges mind by the start
ing Of foot ball practice.
He was one Of q huge crowd of boys that

mers work on the farm and he didn't have
to worry about getting into condition. As
result he could give his entire attention to
the instructions In the fundamentals of the
game which were given under the direction
Of the assistant coach, and he made rapid
progress.
BY the following week, when the squad was
cut for the first time he found himself among
the backheld candidates retained and singled
out for real training. And when the first short
scrimmage was held he played part Of the
time at the fullback's position on the second
team.
When he came out of the lineup Coach
williams stepped up to him.
Good work. Hickman" he said briefly.
You're coming along fine. Keep it up"
George flushed with pleasure. Then his eyes
leaped out to the field and fastened on the
first string backneld, about to launch q play
at the second teams line.
There was Herb Mills calling signals two
halfbacks who were veterans Of last years

Georges jaw set grimly. Maybe his dream OF
playing fullback wasn't so hopeless, after ALI

Leyvas Winner
In the six round semi-final bout
Bobby LeyvaS, Yuma, again took q
decision from Tony Garcia, Los An.
geles, repeating his performance of
a week ago. In the third round Bob
by was on the canvas for a count of
eight when Tony pasted him one
in the stomach but the Yuma boy
recovered quickly and wiped this
out by taking the fight right to Gar
cia for the rest of the bout.
Murder Wilson of Yuma who had
never lost a decision since he start
ed in the ring game, found his lucky
streak broken last night when Ray
JDhnson, another Negro scrapper
from Los Angeles took his measure
/ in the first round.
Evidently unafraid of the impoS-
ing record piled up by Wilson, john
son jumped out Of his seat and at
ter a little preliminary sparring
flattened his colored brother from
across the Colorado for a nine count
before things had even gotten pro-
perly under way. Wilson, surprised
at such treatment, got back into the
argument again only to be walloped
again and again hit the canvas. An
other count of nine and he stagger-
ed to his feet to be met by a dusky
cyclone which again swept him off
his feet. Bill Tackett, referee, did
not bother with the formality of a
count this time but raised Johnson's
arm and the bout was over.
Pelino Garcia of Calexico won
technical knockout from Obie Mil

preliminary, when the latter'S sec
