Scarlet Haw.
Crataegus Coccinea.

Y Y AWTHORNES established their
families in the Eastern part
Of the United States. From
i i Newfoundland to Mexico they
are to be found in great va
riety Of sizes, and the shade Of the
fruit varies. Their Latin name sig
nifles strength and refers to the tough
wood of the tree. A few specimens
have been found on the Pacific Coast
and in the Rocky Mountains. Europe
and Asia have few.
It is strange that these sturdy little
trees are not appreciated more There
are 1913 native to the United States.
They are ornamental Summer and
Winter. They are, it is true, shrub
berry race with zig-zag twigs and
branches that are not inviting to
climb. This is why the tree should
be favored as hedgerow.
In May or June the. scarlet haw
is beautiful with her snowy mantle
of fragrant flowers. The trees are
most interesting to study. There are
usually five stamens set in a circle
alternate with the petals. There may
be as many as five pairs or, in some
rare cases, more, but they are sure to
be arranged thus. Peep into the face
Of the hawthorn blossom and see for
yourself. You will likely look into
the face Of fine, industries bee, too.
The flowers you will find are perfect,

that Is, complete in themselves, hav-
ing pistils and stamens. The flowers
are to be found on the short side of
the branchlets, where you will find
the fruit later in the season.
The leaves are yellow-green, simple,
with saw-toothed edges and some
times lobed. In the Autumn the
leaves are scarlet and very lovely.
As the Autumn draws near the
scarlet haw looks very gay with her
crimson, sometimes orange and
sometimes black and red fruit, dan

Fat Women!

How would you like to lose IS
pounds of fat in a month and at
the same time increase your energy
and improve your health?

How would you like to get your
weight down to normal and at the

r TERE is smart street dress,
designed especially for the
ladies who are much larger
Il L than they want to be. Lines
guaranteed to slenderiZe have
been so scientifically studied that the
dress stands out as an open contra
diction to the pet complaint of these
same women who feel that the dress
designers have forgotten their cause
in their effort to create styles for the
young and slender.
Among the many excellent points
In this dress, the ones that particu-
larly make it appear fashion right as
q many-occasion dress, are the length
of line from shoulder to hem, the
effect of softness without fussiness in
the cascading rever, the flared skirt
that gives ample fullness in walking
and the subdued design of the printed
fabric that has been used.
The light contrast is an entirely
flattering detail that is further en-
phasized by the purely feminine and
artful way in which the conventional
flower is made to appear as vestee.
The fabric of the frock is a silk
printed crepe IN one or the closely
patterned all-over designs that are d
nice change from monotones and
which prove far more slenderizing
than plain colors. Its surface, natu-
rally, is dull and the tone neutral

mean q great deal commercially, as
1t Is only used for tool handles and

like little shrubby tree is that in the
Summer it is glorious sight, a boun-
tiful supply Of food for the bees, and
In the Autumn an ornamental tree
as well as a source of food supply for
the many birds and squirrels. In the
Winter its menacing appearance, with
its spikes all exposed against the
background of Winters sky, is worth
the trees place on your land.
The scarlet haw appreciates the
least little attention paid to it and
will spread itself and improve won-
derfully. These trees are not temper
amental. You can transplant them
easily. That is, you can establish a
tree from place to place, pretty sure
it will take root. You must watch

Best Skylark Singers Drunk.

Many skylarks which have won
prizes in contests were drunk at the
time, according to Eric Parker, an
authority on bird life in England
'"The birds, in covered cages. are fed
on worms soaked in old Scotch
whisky till they begin to sing, and
they do not sing until they are
drunk" he told the Royal Society for
the Protection Of Birds, meeting re-
Gently in London. The organization
is seeking ways to stop the practice.

SEEN
FOR HOLLAND

Doubt that John Holland, who
has served as investigator for
many Senate committees, again
will be employed in that capacity,
is indicated in the "off-the-rec-
ord" remarks of several members
of the Senate.
Pointing out that although
Holland performed meritoriously
in the investigation of Teapot
Dome, these Senators suggest that
Hollands performance during the
recent Louisiana election inquiry
will make it difficult for the in
vestigator to obtain further Sen
ate work.
In that investigation Holland
characterized Senator Tom Con-
nally CD of Texas as yellow"
and made other charges against
the Senate Committee of Inquiry.

Maria Jeritza, temperamental
prima donna soprano, was the
center today of a storm of indig-
nation following her nonappear-
ance for a concert before 500
women, many of whom were lead
ers of Chicago society. But the
prima donna remained calm
through it all and sent word
through her secretaries that she
was still confined to her bed wita
a bad cold. The singer would not
discuss reports she had quarreled
with Miss Rachel Kinsolving,

VETS END ROW
IN MT. RAINIER

Mt. Rainier's politically disturb
ing liquor issue was settled yester-
day by the wet forces, who with
drew their applications for IL
censes in the light of a referen-
dunn held by the town in which
more drys voted than vets.
An independent applicant from
Mt. Rainier, not among those
withdrawing, was refused his H.
cense by the Prince Georges board
of License Commissioners on the
ground that several of the signers
on his petition were not tax
payers.
The vets withdrew despite the
assurance of legal counsel that
the referendum had no binding
effect on the board. Appeals be-
fore the State license board were
also dropped.
