The slender. often twisted but withal
graceful. limbs and the lower droop-
ing ones with their highly polished,
dainty twigs make it easy for you to
Identify this tree when bare.
The bark Is dark brown, slightly
broken into burrows. which divide into
thick, irregular plates. Sometimes you
can see the smooth, satiny bark that
covers the younger limbs.
Early in April the slender, brown
buds. some one-fourth inch in length,
show evidence of having awakened
from the long winters sleep. BY the
latter part of April the flowers, both
staminate and pistillate, arrive be-
fore the procession of the leaves. The
male leaves are in catkins 3 to 4
inches long, Of a purplish yellow. The
female blossoms are erect, one-half
10 l inch long; the bracts are hairy
and ovate.
Hordes Of insects may b. h.srd
humming over the cherry birch es you
stand beneath the tree. The winds
have sifted pounds Of golden pollen
from the male flowers to the waiting
female flowers nearby. Thus IS as
sured the June crop of fruit which
you will later see, the erect little cones
with broad scales and three distinct,
rounded lobes. The nut children un-
der these scales have narrow wings
which taper at the base. When they
are ready to 60 with the wind, the
cone scales release them and away
they ride.
The cherry birch is a shiny, glow
ing tree. Even in winter when you
60 through the woods, tramping
through deep snow, you see the tree
from 4 distance as if 1t had light

sunshine it needs. and in return the
fine root system finds and converts to
its use the moisture and food about it.
During the summer. no matter where
the tree Is, it attracts attention BY
its shining leaves, and in autumn
they turn to gold.
Woodsmen love this birch, because
its tender twigs flow with . satisfy
ing sap of q wintergreen flavor, which
is in the bark the whole year round
The bark is used for the making of
wintergreen oil, in such demand
for objectionably favored medicines.
There is also salicylic acid extracted
from the bark and used in cases of
rheumatism. From the sweet sap
birch beer is made, and the spicy
leaves are very fragrant and have
been boiled to clear a room of offen-
sive odors.
In Kamchatka the inner bark of
this tree is stripped into thin, thread
like ribbons and used as we would
vermicelli These strips are often
dried and kept for several months.
The natives usually do this in
the spring, when the inner bark
is especially rich in sugar and starch.
Boiled with caviar or served with fish,
these strips are said to be delicious.
The wood of this tree takes stain
beautifully, and after it Is treated and
highly polished only experts can tell
it from fine mahogany. Why do we
not recognize the black birch on its
own merits? 1t is one OF our most
dependable woods. yields Z lustrous

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-The oflicial go"
signal was flashed today for contest
ants in Illinois April II primary elec-
ton races. but it went almost unno-
ticed by Democratic chieftains, busy
burying the political hatchet in each

As the secretary of state threw open
his office for the filing of nominations,
Illinois Democracy was in the midst of
an intra party battle which promises
to equal. If not surpass, that of 1896.
The senatorial nomination was the
big issue. but the split between CONTEND

constituted "a brazen attempt to grab

Thunderbird MdY Block
Detton's Path to Title
Tops
Arena Mat
Program
BY BOB ADDE

Those vaudeville people who
have been decrying the decline of
the two-a-day circuit should file
charges of unfair competition
against the wrestling industry.
The one-night stands so common
to actors have now been taken
over by the matmen and the
variety folks would have a legiti-
mate holler because the muscle
men also infringe on their terri
tory by including hiStrionics in
their repertoire.
For instance, Dean Detton, who
grapples Chief Thunderbird at
Turner's Arena tonight. wrestled
Jim Londos in Philadelphia last
night. Both Ram Singh and Dick
DaviScourt, who are opponents
here tonight, also appeared in the
City of Brotherly Shove last night.
So did Bronko Valdez and Thun-
derbird. Thus it would appear the
boys change their partners, but
never their act.
Detton, we are told, is eager to
get another crack at Bronko Ma
gurski, recognized as the cham
pion east of the Mississippi. The
Bronx threw Dean for loss after
the latter had held the crown for
two months-a new endurance
record for the mat industry, which
changes its kings faster than a
quick-change artist gets into his
costume. Now Detton wants
another crack at Bronko and will
use the Chief as a stepping stone
to the throne.
Thunderbird is the colorful gent
who went into his war dance every
few minutes last week when his
opponent, Boris Demitroff, got too
personal with some Of the Chiefs
pet corns. The Indian whooped
and hollered until Boris almost
climbed out of the ring. At the
finish, just to make it official,
Thunderbird snatched a tuft of
Demitroff's hair and did a sort of
amateur scalping job. The i'm
promptu haircut did Boris no good
but the fans seemed to think it
was great stuff.
Ram Singh, the ancient Hindu,
will tug it out with Dick Davis
court whose last appearance here
was against the dwarfish Ali Baba.
Hans Steinke, the German Oak"
opposes Orville Brown, who has
adopted the charming alias of
'"The Pile-Driver." It will take
quite a bit of driving to chop
down Mr.. Steinke, who has been
in this racket since California
Redwoods were hothouse plants.
The balance of the card pits
Bronko Valdez against Tony Mi
lano and Jose Rodriguez against
Al Marcus,
