THE SHERMAN TREE

The largest living thing on earth and
probably the oldest, is the General Sher-
man tree in Sequoia National Park, Cali
fornia. BY precise observations and cal
culations a committee of engineers deter
mined that this tree was the biggest of the
giant redwoods. while the General Grant
tree is second in size.
The General Sherman tree has a vol
ume of slightly more than 10000 board
feet of lumber; its height is 272 feet and
its circumference at the ground is SO feet.
It is estimated that these largest trees
are 5000 or more years old.

NOSE RING WEDDINGS

1t may be surprising to many to know
that even today among the Kamia Indians
of California the wedding ceremony re-
quires the placing of ring in the bride
groom s nose, instead of on the brides fin
ger.
The nose piercing is itself a ceremon-
ial event, and takes place some time before
the wedding the operation being performs
ed with wooden needle. Four candi-
dates for matrimony must submit to this or
deal at the same time, after which they
must run Is miles, then remain four days
on a restricted diet, while women nearby
sing continuously. Following this the
youths must go naked for month, not be-
ing allowed to eat deer, jack-rabbit or fish.
Then they are all set for the wedding.
Perhaps the KAMA bride employs the
ring as an aid in holding the spouse's nose
to the grindstone, as many of her sisters do
without any such device.

REASONS FOR NAVY YARD


Editor, The Citizen:
! Since first visiting Key West
last August as a member of the
Governors party; during the en-
campment of the 265th Coast Ar
tillery, and my subsequent stay of
little better than two weeks, |
have been giving considerable
thought to the governments al
most total abandonment of this
place as a military or naval base.
From the first it has seemed to
one intensely interested in those
things. and disregarding entirely
the political side, which unfortun-
ately, too often enters into the re-
tention or abandonment of many
absolutely useless posts scattered
throughout the nation, that Key
West from many angles is a most
important point of communica-
ton and that the navy depart
ment should give immediate and
careful consideration to at least
partial restoration of this place
as a base.
The first thing that would pres
ent itself is the extremely advan-
tageous location of Key West as
the logical station for an advance
force of marines; probably a bat
talon of two or three companies.
This is some 500 miles south of
Paris Island, the recruit depot,
and most inaccessible place. Key
West is about 400 miles south of
QuanticO where the main eoneen-
tration is now.
Not trying to write exhaustively
on "a subject for which others are
far better fitted, / just want to
enumerate a few of the obvious
advantages that this place has for
the establishment of the small
force mentioned above.
FIRST-Nearness to scene of
possible trouble which the last
twenty years have seen.
I. SECOND-The climate being al
most tropical but not as enervat-
ing, the men would be acclimated
for tropical duty. The first week
| or so on duty in hot countries is
extremely trying on men and of
| ficers.
THIRD-The superior climatic.
al conditions for drill, etc, as
against considerable number OF
days lost in the open in the more
/ northerly localities.
/ FOURTH-The advantage OF
having the landing force embark
in the same uniform and with same
equipment that would be used al
all times. on expeditionary duty
to the south of us. On this ] speal

One Of the successful information,

One of the successful international
free lances is Basil Woon, who has served
as correspondent in many European CAPT
tails for American newspapers and press
associations. London born, he has turn
ed out books about Hollywood, Paris, the
Riviera and Atlantic travels. There are few
sections of the civilized world he has not
invaded and always he finds the unusual
twists of life which he manages to sell.

Il probably would interest the senate

It probably would interest the senate
committee that is inquiring into airmail
contracts to know Of the additional amount
the post office department is paying in
having the airmail carried to Havana from
Miami as compared with what it cost to
carry it to the same point from Key West
The Pan-American Always, when it
operated from its base in Key West, car
ried the mail to Havana at 40 cents a
pound. When the company discontinued
its operations from its Key West base,
though retaining lease on it at $4,000 a
year, and established base i'm Miami. the
airmail contract was changed from
poundage to a mileage basis, as a result of
which it cost the post office department
approximately $125, 900 more year in
handling the airmail between this country
and Havana.
Anybody familiar with the distances
between Havana and Key West and
Havana and Miami understands readily the
reason for the additional cost: Key West
is only so miles from Havana while Miami
is 246 miles away, or 156 miles farther
than this city.
The question that naturally arises here
is, Why was the mail carried on pound
age basis from Key West and a mileage
basis from Miami?
That question can be answered in two
ways. If we are to consider the interests
of the Pan-American Always only
and disregard the interests of the govern
ment entirely, it was to the financial adj
vantage of the company, with Key West so
close to Havana, to be paid on poundage
basis, and, conversely, it was to it's ad-
vantage to be paid on a mileage basis, with
Miami 156 miles farther away.
But if the interests of the government
was to be conserved, as it should have
been, then the base should have been kept
at Key West, and the post office depart
ment would have been saved $125,000
year, if the poundage basis had been con-
tinued, and far more than that if the COM
pany had been paid on mileage basis, be-

haulage.
The Citizen thinks it would be well
for the Key West Chamber of Commerce
to present the facts regarding the discon-
tinuance of the airmail service from this
port to the senate committee that is now
investigating airmail contracts. Were that
done, it may lead to the re-establishment
of the base here for Havana and other mail
to the south of us.
In any event, it would be well for the
committee to be given the information,
stressing the fact that the Pan-American
Always is still-paying $4,000 year for
lease on an airport here that is not being
used.
