(From The Charlotte News)
By IDA BRIGGS HENDERSON


Recently l asked visitor fror
New England, touring the mour
tains of Western North Carolina
if the autumn was as lovely /
these mountains as in the hills o
his own country. He anSwere
that the Carolina autumn was in
comparably more beautiful, be
cause of the greater variety o
flora, there being in that respec
no comparison between the TIVE
sections. For instance: the Appa
lachian forests, especially thos'
of the Great Smoky Mountain:
National park, have approximate
ly 120 species of trees and la"gt
shrubs, while the forests in the
Rocky mountain parks, for exam
pie, rarely have more than 20 va
rieties. This is true of other sec
tions, and gives to North Carolina
a marvellous diversity OF colorS
when autumn comes.
However, New England is love-
ly in the autumn: my memory
creates an unforgetable October
day among the hills OF Vernon
as from the observation platform
of the swiftly moving train there
unrolled a panorama of almost
unearthly beauty. 1t was all gor-
geous and impressive; but those
rounded hills lacked the variety
of flora which causes our North
Carolina mountains and forests
to blaze in a glory of autumn
tints that are unequalled in other
parts of the United States
Indian Summer: There is mag
ie in that phrase, denoting the
period of the year when the full
Harvest moon moves poets to de-
scribe the beauty of nature, and
gives man one last taste of mild
weather before bleak winter
comes. This season, which comes
to North Carolina in early Octo-
Der, is usually ushered in with
rain and a cold spell, following
which comes frost which trans
forms the world into a thing of
glory. Warmth characterizes In
dian Summer when the leaves
gather their fall collars and a gen.
eral smokiness hovers over the
earth.
AS one views the glory of au-
tumn foliage it is rather difficult
to turn the mind to the prosaic
reason of this transformation
from green to the most exquisite
tints of the rainbow, and reduce
to cold scientific terms the why
of this marvellous change. A COM
prehensive study of forest data
:. why the leaves turn; why
some hang on longer than others
:. forms an interesting part of
the work of the Appalachian For
est Experiment station located at
Asheville. From this source can
be cleaned many informative facts
concerning the national parks and
forests of our state.
Trees are really living organ
isms and like animate creatures
they, through the porous quality
of bark and leaves, breathe, eat,
drink and assimilate the proper
ties of water and air. Also, the
blood stream of human beings is
comparable to the circulatory sys-
tenn found in trees.
The matter of coloring of leaves
is explained by the composition of
the pigments that give the color
of deciduous trees in spring and
summer. Deciduous trees lose
their leaves in the fall, while the
evergreen trees retain their foil
age throughout the year; natural
ly there is a difference in the
quantity and quality of this pig
ment that causes the green tints.

STREET REPAV|NG
CONTRACT |SLET
Work Is First Step in Re.
movaI Of Connecticut
Avenue Car Tracks.

The first major step for removal
Of the abandoned Connecticut ave-
nue. street car tracks was ordered
yesterday by the Commissioners in
awarding a contract for repaving
Of Connecticut avenue from Calvert
street to the south end Of the Klingle
Bridge.
The contract went to Mcguire
& Rolfe, Inc, the low bidder which
offered to do the work for $42, 600.
The project will be financed out Of
Federal grants to the District for
road Improvements, under the Bu-
reau of Roads program.
District officials as yet have not
determined finally how the cost of
such street improvements will be
shared between the District and the
Capital Transit Co. under terms of
the street railway merger act.
In cases of this kind, the District is
billing the company for paving of the
track area and the bills are being re-
turned. They are then sent to Cor
poration Counsel E. Barrett Pretty
man for later use when the meaning
of the law will be tested.
Previously, the Commissioners or
dered street improvements on Calvert
street between the new Calvert Street
Bridge and Connecticut avenue. An
other section in the near future viii
be freed of tracks and repaved. Chevy
Chase civic leaders have asked that the
tracks remain in place until the bu:
service substituted for street cars ha:
proved satisfactory. District officials
explained that the tracks so far or
dered removed are so worn they woulc
have to be rebuilt anyway.

here in the District. Unquestionably,
publicity is what is needed in educa-

there are over 1000, which is about
one taxicab for every 125 people. New

is not too many? A. Why, we can
handle more vehicles if they will drive
carefully.

DRIVE TO CONTINUE
More Evidence Gathered
for Court Test-One
Trial Scheduled.

With one case taken to court for
trial. the drive against alleged
violators Of the 1913 loan shark"
law will be continued this week.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Edward
M. Curran declared last night.
Charges of making loans at more
than 6 per cent interest per year were
placed yesterday against Jacob Rubin,
trading as the United Finance Co.
at 943 New York avenue. After in
formations were filed by Curran,
Rubin voluntarily went to police
headquarters and posted 5000 bond
for appearance at hearing at Police
Court tomorrow. Jury trial will be
demanded, officials were informed.
More Evidence.
Curran said last night he had
gathered evidence in "a half dozen"
other cases, and would issue informa-
lions this week charging small loan
operators with violation of the 1913
law.
The campaign is being conducted
under orders from Corporation
Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman against
all lenders who operate without a.
license and charge more than 6 per
cent interest. Licensed firms may
charge no more than IL per cent per
year. The drive was planned after
Congress failed to enact a new small
loans law fostered by Prettyman.
