Riddle Still UnsoIved

Australians are still trying to
solve the g-standing riddle OF
the Torres Strait stone fish traps
off Darnley Island, it is reported
at Sydney. These are a maize OF
concentric whorls in stone brick
works. The fish enter at flood tide
and cruise along the tortuous chan
nels until too far from the sea to
return before the ebb. Left found
ering in the sand. the fish are gath
cred in by the Binghi inhabitants.
Construction of these rampartS is an
engineering feat beyond the skill OF
the latter-day islanders. Popular
conjecture ascribes them to Torres
or later Spaniards, but the theory
is impaired by the existance OF
similar works at Laverton.

been wrongly called yellow poplar.
The two scientific names describe
the lilylike flowers or tuliplike
blossoms.
This lovely tree belongs to an
ancient and beloved family. 1t is
geologically recorded in Europe and
Asia, also in North America, where
it had a wide and important range.
At all seasons this tree is beautiful.
In winter you may study its hand
some, upright trunk, the deep, fur
rowed bark, which on old trees may
be 2 inches thick. The inner bark
of the trunk and root is very bitter
and acrid. At one time this property
was thought to be valuable for
medicinal purposes as tonic and
stimulant. 1t is a source of hydro
chlorate of tulipiferine. This is an
alkaloid which has the power Of
stimulating the heart.
The wood is a beautiful pale
yellow to brown with an ivory white
margin of sapWood. Because 1t is
soft, it is easily worked and takes
paint well. For this reason it is

By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.


In the tulip tree, or yellow poplar
as it is known in some States, we
have one of the largest and most
valuable trees of our Eastern States.
It is a favorite tree in the region
bounded by Southern New England
through New York to Southern Wis
consin and South to Northeastern
Alabama and Northern Florida. In
the Ohio Valley it reaches its
greatest size. Here the soil is deep
and rich and the sheltered valleys
and coveS of the Southern Appa-
lachian Mountains also offer all the
tulip demands. For this reason it
is not unusual to find trees reaching
over $50 feet in height and dia-
meter of to 10 feet. 1t is tree
that loves neighbors and is rarely
found in pure stands.
OF course, you know by its name
this tree is member of the mag
nolia family and is far removed
from the poplars and cottonwoods.
Because of its soft wood it has

The summer foliage is lovely
The glossy, fiddle-shaped leaves OF
deep green do not fall until late
autumn. The flowers are very large
and later their place is marked
by the dry, conelike fruits, which
remain on the tree sometimes after
it is bare. Then the winged seeds

Stock Averages
60 Stock Range Since 1927:
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, March 5.-Buyers
put their shoulders to the stock
market today and gave selected
steels, aircraft and specialties the
strongest rallying push of the past
three weeks or SO.
A better tone was in evidence
throughout the session, but a late
run-up in wheat futures apparently
buoyed sentiment for stocks and put
prices generally at best levels of the
day at the start of the final hour.
Volume broadened a trife on the
upward reversal with transfers ap-
proximating $4,000 shares.
Gains of fractions to a point were
we'll distributed at the close, with
a few wider advances turned in on
meager turnovers. Scattered issues
managed to edge into new high
ground for the year. Among these
were Canadian Pacific. Brooklyn
Manhattan Transit, Dow Chemical
and Glenn Martin.
Helping shift the trend, brokers
said, was the fact offerings lately
nave dried up to virtually nothing.
AT Yesterdays close the Associated
Press average of 60 stocks was about
where 1t was month ago. A stale
mate OF this length, some analysts
thought, called for a break-out one
way or the other. This, it was sug-
gested, inspired some speculative
nlbollng for an upturn in addition
TO- smatterlng of short covering.
The news, generally, was without
particularly stimulating qualities
either from the European wars or
the domestic economic front.
Among shares Haunting plus signs
at one time or another were United
States Steel, Bethlehem, Youngs-
town, Douglas Aircraft. Bendix,
Chrysler, General Motors, Great
Northern, Anaconda. United States
Rubber, Allied Chemical, Eastman
Kodak, Western Union and Ameri-
can Telephone.
One block of $500 shares Of
B-M-T preferred came out in the
final lap at an advance of nearly 7
points.

NEW YORK, March 5.-The
price of the British pound sterling
fell to $3.50 in New York banks to-
day, reaching its lowest point of
the year for decline of more than
3 cents in two days.
Wall Street authorities cited four
causes: Cd the announcement of q
new British war loan of E300, ,000, 900
(about 81 ,20O, 900, ,O00); ca the pres
ent huge British budget figures; (3
the present British-Italian contro-
versy over coal shipments; "a re-
ports of probable new British ex-
change control regulations.
The first two causes were re-
garded by bankers as indicating
financial problems tending to de-
value the pound. The third, obvi-
ously, was seen as a possible cause
Of spreading hostilities.
The fourth held the promise of
an increased supply of foreign
money and other exchange entering
the British treasury. That is, for
eign buyers of British goods will be
forced to clear all transactions
through official channels, where the
dollar is cheaper than in the free
market.
