rural poo- population Of our south
ern states, is trachoma. Trachoma
is very exaggerated and chronic
form of pink eye, or conjunctivitis.
But whereas pink eye is a simple
condition that clears up in a few
days, trachoma causes large red
masses in the eyelids and some-
times soaring that results in
practical blindness. It is the same
in Oriental "ophthalmia". While it
has long been known that ira
choma is contagious, the exact
germ which causes it has eluded
the psychologists search.
According to the paper by Drs.
Thrygeson Of New York and Rich
ards of Albuquerque before the Sec
ton on diseases of the eye, asfilter-
able virus is responsible and they
have been able to trace and identi-
fy it to considerable extent. Thus
trachoma belongs with the conf
mon cold. infantile paralysis and
smallpox, so far as the nature Of
the causative agent is concerned.

Salem Oak
(Quercus alba).
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.


TN SALEM, N. j.. you will see a ia
nous white oak tree in Friends
Cemetery. This grand monarch Is
said by authorities to be from 800
to 400 years old. There is q beauti-
full tablet erected in It's honor, and the
following has been inscribed upon IT.:
Friends Burial Ground, AID. 1875.
This oak tree, q survivor of the orig
inal forest, was standing here when
Salem was founded by John Fenwick
in 1875. 1t is eighty-five feet high, and
its foliage covers one-quarter of an
acre" This oak has q circumference
Of 1914 feet and branch spread Of 1T
feet.
Few tree lovers fail to place the
white oak at the top Of the list among
its race. To the white oak they give
the rank of king. because It expresses
courage, independence, strength and
dignity.
The average white oak reaches q
height Of 80 feet Some, of course, are
higher, many have a reach toward the
sky OF $50 feet. while those close to-
gether reach up but so feet. :.
The wood is tough, heavy, strong
and durable. It Is light brown in
color, with prominent medullary rays.
The lumber Is the very best and is
used in naval architecture, in house
building and interior finish, for fur
niture, agricultural implements, COOP
erage, railroad ties and fuel.
The bark Is used in tanning leather.
