the address of War President Woodrow
Wilson, wherein he paid high tribute
to the soldiers and sailors in the hopes
that ''the war to end wars" would be
a reality and not only figure of
speech.
The judge cited the historical facts
of the several wars, for the dead of
which the memorial rites were being
observed and eulogized the spirit in
which the American soldiers entered
the World War to make the world safe
for democracy" He stated that this
spirit was still dominant in this
country although perilous times exist
in several of the foreign lands and it
was the hope of all that America would
not be drawn into the nlazes of another
conflict.
Those who heard Judge Nolan were
very much impressed with his SINGER
ity and the logic of his deductions, also
his delivery of one of the best mem
orial talks heard here. He has a most
pleasing tone and flow of words that
impress his listeners.

Highway Seeks AnslUer
To Code Book Problem

The Minnesota Highway department
is in quandry.
This is the difficulty: Early in 1897,
the Highway department, in the in
terest of safety and at the promptings
of number of members of the legis-
lature, printed 10000 copies of the then
existing traffic code. Requests SWal-
lowed this supply in several days.
Later, with the passage of the present
Uniform Traffic Act, the department
felt it imperative that the new code
reach the hands of the driving public.
OstenSibly, the public could not obey
a law it did not know. So 10000 more
booklets were published in the cheapest
available form and the people of Min
neSota were informed through the press
that these laws could be obtained free
on request.
The demand from individual drivers,
bus and trucking companies, COM
mercial firms with travelling represen-
tatives and particularly from the
schools throughout the state was tire
mendous and the supply was exhausted
almost Immediately. 1t was necessary
to print another $4,000. Today that
supply is gone, $4,000 in all, and the
demand is still great.
Here is the catch! For past print
ings of the code, the Highway depart
ment received criticism from some of
the press. So at this time, with a de-
mand untitled and drivers and schools
still clamoring for the booklet, the de-
partnent is undecided whether to pub
fish another allotment. 1t is con-
vinced that the books are an invaluable
medium of safety and worth the cost,
but it does not care to incur further
criticism unless it is satisfied that the
public deems the investment worth
while one.

DEAD trees
SOUND WOOD
U. S. Forest Laboratory Says
That Dead Trees Furnish
Satisfactory Lumber.

Woodland owners frequently have
had large trees killed by insects, blight,
wind, or fire. In some parts of the
United States it is thought that timber
cut from such trees is unsatisfactory for
construction purposes.
Engineers at the U. S. Forest Pro-
ducts Laboratory Madison, Wis, state
that when sound dead trees are sawed
into lumber and the weathered or
charred outside is cut away, there is
no way by which the lumber from these
trees can be distinguished from that
cut from live trees. Lumber from dead
trees may, however, be partly seasoned
when cut.
If tree stands on the stump too
long after it is killed, the sapWood is
likely to become decayed or badly in
tested by wood-boring insects; and in
time the heartWood will become dam
aged. The same thing is true of logs
cut from live trees and not given proper
care. Until the wood is attacked by
these destructive agents, the wood from
dead trees is just as strong and just as
durable as sound wood from the same
kind of live trees.
1t should be remembered that the
heartWood of living tree is dead, and
only small portion of the cells of the
sapWood is active, therefore, most of the
wood cut from trees is dead, regardless
of whether the tree itself is living or
dead
Because of variations in climate and
local weather conditions and in other
things that affect deterioration, the
length of time during which dead trees
may stand or lie in the woods without
serious injury varies. Tests made at
the Forest Products Laboratory on wood
from trees that had stood as long as
Is years after being killed by fire
showed that this wood was sound and
as strong as wood from live trees. Also
logs from some of the more durable
species have had thoroughly sound
heartwood after lying on the ground in
the woods for several years. The i'm
portant consideration is not whether
the trees from which the lumber is
sawed are live or dead, but whether
the products themselves are free from
decay or other defects that would make
them unsuitable for use.

zaverl, who recently exhibited in the
showing at Rockefeller Center. The
young Ely artist received wide acclaim
for the character of his work and one
of his drawings was selected for the
ehibits made in all parts of the
country. His drawing was one of the
Zenith mine showing the surface struc-
lures.
Pictures in the exhibit also included
two new mediums, finger-paint and
frescol, especially adapted for the use
of art students and beginning artists.
Frescol is a dry compast color applied
with special felt tipped brush without
the use of water, oils or any other
liquids Finger-paint is soft jelly
like substance applied directly with the
open hands without the use of brushes.
The mediums were explained by girls of
the high school at the exhibit.
Another section that attracted a
large amount of attention was the ex-
hibit of the domestic science depart
ment under the direction of Miss Mar
garet Holmberg and Miss Marian
Kraker Here dresses and sewing work
of all kinds were shown and many
were the compliments heard on the
nature of the diversified sewing projects
and the excellence of the work ex-
hibited.
Owing to the fact that the matter
of publicity was somewhat overlooked
and the large number of counter-at-
fractions offered, the attendance was
not as large as the exhibit warranted
In the hustle and excitement of get
ting the exhibit in shape, not enough
time was spent in acquainting the pub
lie of the Importance of the showing
to be made.
The school pupils were shown the ex-
hibit in a body onThursday during the
day. Many of them returned in the
evening to further view the many ar
ticles displayed.
