HOW LEAF FALLS
TOLD BY EXPERT
Tree Specialist Says Break
With Bark Is Clean, Func-
ton Finished.

The phenomenon Of the falling leaf
Is explained today by Paul Davey,
tree expert, in his weekly letter of
advice and information to home own
ers. Davey states:
when a leaf releases its hold on
the branch from which it has hung
since it burst from its bud last Spring
and floats gently to the ground the
natural assumption is that it has
dried up and broken off. If you will
pick 1t up, however, you will find
that the end of its stem shows no
break. 1t is a smooth surface and
shows no sign Of ever having been
attached to anything. Had you pulled
that same leaf from its branch during
the growing season it would have been
so tightly attached that a shred of
bark would have pulled off with it. and
the end Of the leaf stem would have
been moist, like an open wound in a
branch.
The phenomenon of falling leaf
Is one of the most interesting of all
natures wonderful planning. The leaf
falls because its cycle has been COM
pleted. Its task is done, and the
means for it to sever itself from the
rest of the tree have been carefully
provided.
StomachS for Trees.
During the growing season the
leaf is the food factory. To it are
carried the soluble foods drawn up
from the earth. and from it are dis
tributed those foods after sunlight has
worked the chemical changes which
make it dieestible to the tree. Tiny
passages lead from the leaf stem to
the twig or branch to which it hangs,
and through these passages the raw
food passes to the leaf and the pre-
pared food passed out of the leaf on its
way to feed the tree.
If you could examine the grow
Ing leaf under a strong microscope
during the growing season you would
see that at the point where the leaf
stem Is attached to the tree there are
thin plates of a different material
than the rest of the STEM As the
season advances these plates change
their character. becoming corky, al
though still adhering closely.
Plates Become Harder.
But when the season comes when
the food manufacturing function of
the leaf no longer works these plates
become harder, the openings through
which the food supply and sap have
passed close, and finally the plates. one
attached to the leaf stem and one TO
the twig or branch to which it has
hung, dry out SO much that they nc
longer hold. When that time comes
they separate. the leaf floats to the
ground with the end of its stem as
clean and dry as though it had
never been attached to anything, and
the tWig or branch shows a tiny,
smooth scar which will not permit
any loss of sap because of the plate
grown for that purpose.
There is the same definite plan
for the dropping of fruit or nuts. The
ripened apple which falls leaves no
wound on the branch to which its
stem was attached because stem and
branch had their separating plates.
The ripened nut is prepared for sew
erance from the tree in the same
manner.
"Of course high wind or other
force may separate many leaves from
branches before their time is fully
come. but if deciduous tree could
b. protected entirely from wind its
leaves would all fall just the same
because it is natures plan for them
to do So"

Consult Expert Painter.

When tackling = painting or var
nishing job, 1t is advisable to consult
a master painter, who is qualified to
know the exact type of application
for a specific job. For example, an
interior varnish should not be used
in places where direct sun. rain and
excessive moisture or extremes Of
heat and cold reach it. Paint manu-
facturers turn out the right kind of
material for this type of work.

BOARD NAMED

SUCCESSOR

A further step in the organiza-

and Loan Association of Washing
ton, successor to the defunct Fl
deity Building and Loan Associa-
ton, which closed last August, fol-
lowing charges of forgery against
President Fred B. Rhodes, was
made today when it was announced
that seven shareholders were
elected to constitute the board of
directors.
The new directorate, originally

stituted the executed committee of
the closed organization.
Members elected are Major
George L. Berry, Thomas Somer-
vile, jr., Harry P. Somerville, Will
liam B. Jameson, Edwin Jacob
son, DR.. Carl Henning and P. j.
Schardt.
The four men who resigned fol-
lowing heated objections to their
inclusion as members, at the pub
lie hearing held on May 26 by
the Federal Home Loan Bank
board, are R. w. Bennett, Marcus
Borchardt, John L. Fletcher and
Harry j. Miller.
The new board Immediately be-
gan preparation of an application
to purchase assets of the Fidelity
at IS per cent of their original
value. This application will be
submitted to the Comptroller Of
the Currency, j. F. T. O'Connor,
who has signified his willingness
to grant the request.
In the meantime the examining
division of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board is cooperating with
James H. Nolan, receiver for the
Fidelity, in compiling a detailed
report to be presented to the
