Tree-Planting Reported
On Increase in u. S.

WASHINGTON. - The United
States department of agriculture re-
ported that farmers have more than
doubled their tree-planting activities
since 1885, following receipt of a
report from the United States forest
service showing the distribution of
forest trees to farmers in Al states
and territories under the co-opera-
tive distribution program authorized
by the Clarke McNary law.
During 1888, a total of $3.50, 1928
trees were distributed, according to
the forest service, more than double
the 26,150,19 trees distributed in
1885.
The Clarke McNary law, passed in
1924, authorizes the federal govern
ment to match funds with states to
carry on fire protection work in for
ests and for furnishing forest tree
seedlings for paintings on farms.
State forestry agencies handle the
distribution of trees. During 1888
the federal government spent $751;
1868, while the states spent $685.
9rO.33 on the project.

Glass Reduces Spoilage

Discomfort of humans and spoil
age of show-window goods, caused
by the hot rays of the sun, are be-
ing reduced by a new type of glass
scientists call aklo, which absorbs
the infra-red rays that carry APP
proximately one-half of the suns
heat. The glass is being used by
merchants to lengthen the lives Of
their show-window displays by keep
ing flowers from whiting, bakery
goods from spelling and fabrics
from fading, for example. Outer
panes of notwithstanding on sides Of
q house or Office most exposed to
the sun have been found to assist
greatly in controlling temperatures
and reducing the load on air-condi-
tioning equipment. Railroad COM
panies are using the new glass on
coaches to eliminate passenger dis
comfort caused by the hot sun pour
ing through car windows.

City Shares in viii

Benjamin Franklin, by his will
dated June %, 1889, bequeathed to
the cities of Boston and Philadel-
phia alike the sum of 1000 pounds
sterling, to be let out upon interest
at 8 per cent per annum to such
young married artificers, under the
age Of rs years (later extended by
the court to IS years) as have
served an apprenticeship in the said
town, and faithfully fulfilled the du-
ties required in their indentures.
The fund was to run for 100 years,
at which time Mr.. Franklin believed
it would amount to 131 900 pounds.
He directed that $1,000 pounds
should be continued to be let out at
interest for another 100 years, and
that 100000 pounds should be ''laid
out in public works, Notifications
bridges, aqueducts, public build
ings, baths, etc., or whatever may
make living in the town more con-
venient to its people and render it
more agreeable to strangers resort
ing thither for health or tempo

Last of Micmac Indian
Medicine Mem Is Dead

HAvELOCK, N. B.-New Bruins
wick lost one of its most picturesque
characters in the death of Noel Linn
quin, last of the Micmac Indian
medicine men,"
Limquin spent his last years in
his woodland shack brewing pungent
potions from woodland herbs. At
one time he travelled the continent
with a medicine show and he was
the star performer. He would 60
on the stage and show how genuine
Indian remedies were made.
He achieved fame one time when
after the show he was interviewed
and asked where he had learned to
make them. His reply was:
'In a big factory at New Haven,
U. S. A., where a lot of girls work.
They have big machines there and
make all kinds of medicine good for
man and beast"

Moon Cycle Regular

The moon is a dark body, and
we see it only because of the sun
light falling upon it. As the moon
revolves around the earth once each
month different portions Of its il
Illuminated surface are turned
toward us. When the moon is be-
tween the earth and sun, it is new,
and when it is on the opposite side
of the earth from the sun, it is full.
Two or three days after new moon,
q thin crescent Is seen in the west
after sunset. The crescent increases
in size until the line dividing the
light and dark portions runs straight
across. This is first quarter. The
lighted portion increases until full
moon occurs. The phases are then
repeated in reverse order as third
quarter and new moon succeed. The
phases cover a period of a little
more than 29h days on the average,
from new moon to new moon.

Priests Letters Disclose
Early Indian Sacrifices

North American soil has been
soaked numberless times with the
blood of human sacrifices, old let
tiers of Father Charlevoix, a Jesuit
priest, to his superiors would indi-
cate.
The priest reported the sacrifices
were common on the huge chunk of
copper weighing two tons or more
(now in the Smithsonian institute at
Washington, which was a religious
shrine of the Indians before its re-
moval in 1843 The Indians believed
the rock had been sent to their an
cestors by the Morning Star and
that in times of stress it spoke in
the voice of thunder demanding a
human sacrifice. The sacrifice Of
fered was usually a prisoner taken
in war.
Father Charlevoix related one in
stance which came under his obser-
walton. Before setting out on haz-
ardous expedition, the Indians were
told by their medicine men the rock
demanded sacrifice. They ac-
COIuulSiy SclSCtSu q 4C-yCdA-oiu gill
prisoner, told her she was to be
married to the son of a chief, and
prepared her in the tribes richest
garments. The child was shown
unusual Difference and, happy in
the belief her Imprisonment was to
end, she was led away by an escort
of warriors. Not until she came to
the rock and saw the fire blazing
at its base did she realize the actual
fate in store for her.
Despite her entreaties, she was
tied to the rock and a warrior sent
an arrow into her heart as the fire
burned about her. The braves then
sprinkled themselves with her blood
in the belief it would make them
more valorous.

France Reoccupies Vast
Central African Region

Another headache for the map
maker is the shifting boundary be-
tween italian and French territory
in north-central Africa. Tibesti, a
$4,000 square mile area between
French Equatorial Africa and the
, Italian dependency of Libya is being
reoccupied by France, according to
reports from Europe. This action
follows the reputation by Italy last
December of the Rome pact of 1885.
"Under the agreement at Rome"
points out the National Geographic
society, "Tibesti, along with other
territory, was coded to Italy by
France IN what was then called the
final settlement of their long-stand-
ing colonial account.
''This region, wild and mountain
Gus, holds the highest peak of the
entire Sahara area-the volcano of
Emf Koussi, with an altitude of
some II 900 feet. Mountain and des-
ert at the same time, Tibesti has
conditioned it's inhabitants to q
marked degree. These natives, the
Tibbus, have tremendous qualities
of endurance, coupled with monkey
like agility. An independent AZ
rican race, black without the typ
ical physical characteristics of the
Negro, they number no more than
10000, figure which represents a
sparse population of only one per-
son to every five square miles. As
fighters, the Tibbus use, among 9TH
err weapons, the knife, which they
throw with great skill"

Feminine Beauty Aids Used
In Automobile furnishings

Use of rouge is not confined to
feminine faces. Enough rouge to
paint town red is consumed by
the automobile industry for fine pol
ishing operations. One company
alone purchases IL barrels annually.
Nor are diamonds alone used to
enhance milady's beauty. The au-
tomobile industry values diamonds
for another reason-they are used
to drill and grind tough metal. Pur-
chases for motor making may
mount as high as 81 900, 900 year.
About 21s bars of soap and a gal
lon of liquid soap for every 10
cars are consumed by one plant. 1t
takes five Angora goats to provide
enough mohair for the average Sc
dan, so the raising of Angora goats
has become major industry. Tex
as produces about $4,000, 900 pounds
of mohair annually.
Supplying brushes for motor
plants is big business. Annual
consumption in motor manufacture
totals $4,000 camel and badger
hair brushes, and $4,000 with sitter
bristles.
About 500 pounds of sand is used
in the molds made for casting each
automobile engine block.
The rag man is big man in the
motor factory. For washing and
polishing cars, one plant buys 12O, 900
yards of gauze and 1900 pounds of
ticking each year.
Among other unusual materials
used in the motor industry are
agate, arsenic, borax, garnet, gold,
jute, mercury, mica, onyx, plati-
mum, radium and silver.

Right Hand to Left Ear
Official School-Age Test

MANILA.-n a child can reach
his left ear with his right hand by
passing it directly over the middle
of his head he is at least seven
years old, and should be admitted
to the first grade.
The method was prescribed by
the principal of the government ele-
inentary school in Gas, Albay, to do
away with the trouble of getting
birth certificates to determine the
age of children entering school for
the first time.
In the case of children who have
unusually short or long hands or
unusually small or fiat heads, an Of
fetal birth certificate must be pre-
scented by the parents, the principal
ruled.
It was said in Gas that almost all
the ages determined by the ear
reaching system tailed with the fig
ures recorded in the Office of the
local civil registrar.

KEEP YOUR HEAD

Rarely in our history has it been
so necessary for Americans to keep
their heads as it is today.
The most CHASTITY of all tragedies
has engulfed Europe. 1t is the burn
ing hope of the vast majority of our
people that we may escape the holo-
caust of destruction. We have not
forgotten the World War. 1t sowed
the seeds for the years of social dis
content and depression that follow
ed. We have not forgotten that
thousands of American lives and
untold billions in American wealth
and resources were sacrificed. Only
history will eventually reveal what
good, if any, came from that war.
The President has said that as
long as it remains within his power,
there shall be no "blackout of
peace" in this nation. In that he
echoes the minds and hearts of all
of us. But the mere wish is not
enough. Hysteria, passion, fanatic
ism, and mistaken idealism-these
things can be the producers of ruin
and horror. American neutrality is
dependent upon America keeping its
head.
No one knows when the war will
end, or who will be the 'victor'. But
certainly there is justified fear that
all that is best in Europe may be
lost to that continent for many
years after hostilities have stopped.
War means that the arts of peace
must be ruthlessly dropped in order
that the arts of death and destruc-
ton may be advanced. The preser-
walton of liberties which have been
won through centuries, are threaten
ed in a warning world.

u. S. Gums a Fifth
Of National Area
Government Worlds Larg-
est Landed Proprietor.

WASHINGTON Uncle Sam is the
worlds largest landed proprietor,
a survey of federal properties in
dictates.
Federal land holdings comprise
more than $1,000, 900 acres-about
one-fifth of the total area of the con-
tinental United States. The total
value-not including buildings-is
about $4,000, 100000.
The extent of federal properties
was disclosed in an inventory made
at the direction Of President Roose-
welt. It did not include property
temporarily owned by emergency
credit agencies through mortgage
foreclosures.
Government figures show that the
estimated value of all real estate in
the United States is more than $l13,-
000, 100000. A similar valuation
showed that tax-exempt federal
holdings comprise slightly more
than 4 per cent of the national total.
The vast majority of federal land
holdings comprises rural areas, such
as national parks, grazing lands and
national forests. Only Al, 444 acres

The interior and agricultural de-
partments control the great bulk of
federal land holdings-the former

fractions of per cent among the
war department, the navy depart
ment and the post Office department.

partment has only u acres.
