Meeting To Wind Up Business Is
 Called Monday

Chairman Calvin Pool of the 1886 Community Xmas Tree Com mittee announced today that a regular meeting of the Commit tee would take place at his office in the public school building at 7 pm. next Monday evening.
 The purpose of the meeting, he declared, was to wind up all mat ters of business for this year, ap- prove expenditures and order payments of accounts for the 1886 celebration.
 Chairman Pool also mentioned the subject of the selection of a chairman and executive board for the 1887 Xmas Tree, declar- ing that it was his opinion that the policy in vogue during form CT years should be amended to permit the appointment of a new board, following the celebration each year, so that details for the next year could be placed in re- sponsible hands early enough in the fall, so that the bulk of the arrangements would not be de- layed until too near Christmas.
 MT. Pool said that the subject would be discussed openly at the Monday night meeting, and all citizens interested in this affair are invited to attend and take part in the meeting.

Those In Mourning
Q OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

n EAR Mrs. Post: I am n mourn
- ing and many people have
called on me in the past few weeks.
Always they talk about my dear de-
parted husband and | live through
the t0rments of having to face the
hard realities of the future alone.
Today a friend came to see me
and not once during the whole time
did she mention my trouble. She
spoke of the things that had been
happening in the outside world with
which she knew 1 must have grown
out of touch, and when she left l
felt very much cheered. This seems
a good point to make in your col
umn for the benefit of those who
would cooperate in making the
world a more comfortable place for
those in real sorrow. l feel sure
that most people think they should
talk about the departed one when
paying such visit.
Answer: / am very glad indeed
to make the point you suggest, al
though it seems almost unbelievable
that anyone could be so insensitive
as to speak to people. about their
really great sorrow further than to
reply to whatever they themselves
may say. Even they who do talk
about the one they have lost would
be more greatly comforted by a
person who listens with sympathy
and perhaps says something appre-
ciative about the one who has died,
but it almost always causes pain to
be asked questions or to have the
subject pursued by the visitor.

for an estimation of upper air con-
ditions.
How Crews Get Bearings.
For Transatlantic flight commu-
nications, Pan American has two
stations, one at Port Washington
and one at Shediac, from which
long-distance bearings can be made.
The British air ministry has sta
tons at Botwood and Southampton,
and the Irish Free State has one at
Foynes.
On each of the great flying boats
there is a smaller station. These
enable the crews to take bearings
on themselves from shore stations
or from ships they meet en- route.
When a plane calls for bearings
the task requires plenty of dex-
terity and cooperation from the
shore stations and the crew to get
them back in time to do any good.
These systems usually work in the
following manner: The radio on the
flying boat sends out a constant
stream of signals. These are picked
up by the. shore station; the direc-
ton from which they are coming is
determined from the movement of
the receiving stations antenna The
shore station then sends out bear
ing. In the same way, the ship
gets bearings from one or more sta
tons. The spot upon which the
ship is flying is the spot at which
all the bearings cross.
It was indeed a triumph for COM
mercial aviation that, in the first
flight, the weather and comnunica-
tions plans worked out as we'll as or
better than expected.
On July 6, 1887, two flights were
completed. The Caledonia left
Foynes and landed at Botwood Is
hours and minutes later. The Clip
per III made the crossing from west
to east in IL hours and 40 minutes.
An "Uneventful' Journey.
Almost every prediction the mete-
biologists made came true. Where
their maps had said there would
be wind and rain, the pilots found
wind and rain. Patches of fog were
in the sky where they were on the
map. 1t was said by the experts
that this was one of the most sue
cessful weather charts ever pre-
pared for great flying venture.
Radio communications worked out
beautifully, too.
Interesting were the different alti-
tudes at which the two ships flew.
Capt. H. E. Gray, commander of
the Clipper, described his trip as an
uneventful one, and indeed small
one, compared with some of those
to which he was accustomed above
the Pacific. He reported flying al
most the entire distance at 10000
feet, with the clouds below them and
the sun shining brightly nearly all
the way after daybreak. He had
the advantage of a 25-mile tailwind.
The Caledonia fought an 18-mile
headwind the entire distance, max
ing the whole flight through thick
clouds and occasional rain at 1000
feet.
The two ships passed each other
when they were 81 miles apart. All
the way over the ocean they were in
constant communication with each

Orchards Cassed to
Produce Improved
Crops Regularly
Weather Will Not Count,
Say Methods Devisers

Washington.-Fruit trees are
made to produce regular crops,
and on time, too, regardless of
the previous winter weather, it
is claimed in a patent just
granted here to Daniel Glenn
Sorber and Marston H. Kim
ball, California researchers of
the United States Department
of Agriculture, and assigned to
Henry A. Wallace as secretary
of agriculture.
This is accomplished, the in
ventors reveal, by literally gas
attacking the trees with butylene, a
hydrocarbon gas.
There are thousands of acres of
walnuts, peaches and other decidu-
Gus fruits, including apples, pears,
apricots, plums, prunes, cherries
and bush berries now planted in
areas where in certain years win
ter weather conditions are unfavor-
able to the formation of flowers, the
setting of fruit, and the production
of a CROP" state the inventors.
''This condition results in failure of
trees to produce regular crops, &C.
casioning heavy losses and often Sc
riously Gripping the industry"
Will Produce Uniformity in Fruiting.
Such fruit trees as lemon and avo-
cado also exhibit marked alternate
bearing tendencies, say the inven-
tors. 1.-The result is a heavy produc-
ton one year, followed by lighter
producing the next, with attendant
cultural and marketing difficulties
which produce economic losses"
The process used by the inventors
to stimulate growth and produce
uniformity in fruiting is this: About
two weeks before the normal or
desired leafng, start of the growth
cycle, or blooming time for the va
riety of trees being treated, the
trees are enclosed in tents or gas
. tight covers.
Gas Released Under Tents.
Then butylene gas is released in
side the tent until the proportion of
gas to the atmosphere is l part of
butylene to 100000 parts of air. The
temperature during treatment is
kept between go and 100 degrees
Fahrenheit. The length of treat
ment is from one to two hours.
Gas and other chemical treat
ments have been used in the past to
stimulate opening of cut flowers,
production of roots on cuttings, ETC.,
but this is the first time whole trees
= have been gassed to make them
blossom at the desired time.

Longer Life for
Working Glasses
Has Been Gained

New York.-Longer life for
the working classes in this
country has been gained during
the past quarter of century as
result of public health activi-
ties, a report of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance company
shows.
The expectation of life at birth
for the industrial policyholders OF
this company crossed the 60 year
mark for the first time in 1885. In
= 1911 the expectation of life at birth
for this class of the population was
only 46.63 years whereas now it is
60.25 years.
Expectation of life at birth for the
working classes is now almost as
good as for the population as a
whole, it appears from comparison
= on the life insurance figures with
those of the United States registra-
ton area. For the whole population,
in 1884, life expectation at birth was
COPS years.
The gain in life expectation of the
insured wage earners appears even
more striking when compared with
= urban jewellers rather than with
the population as a whole. This is
fairer comparison, the life insurance
statisticianS point out, because the
insured wage earners live chiefly in
cities. White males af age ten in the
urban area of the United States
gained 395 years of life from 1910
: to 1880, while white male industrial
policyholders at the same age gained
GIT years from 1911-12 to 1880. At
the same age white females in the
industrial policyholder group gained
a year more than those in the urban
urea of the United States.
Credit Given Health Authorities.
. The gain in life expectation for
the industrial class is all the more
striking and encouraging because
1t was made during a quarter CEN
fury that included the World war,
the devastating 1919 influenza cpl
demic and the economic depression,
each of which greatly affected the
lives and health of the population.
Commenting on this, the life in
surance officers compliment the
health authorities of the country as
follows:
Throughout this quarter century,
and in the face of the calamities
mentioned, those charged with the
administration of our public health
activities have maintained scienti-
ic attitude toward their duties. Cur
rent discoveries in medicine and
sanitary science have been applied
as soon as they had demonstrated
heir worth. The results are uh-
ioubtedly reflected in the highly
gratifying figures that have been
quoted"
