By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

I'm early Colonial times black wal
nut timber was used in making
fence rails. The wood split easily
and resisted decay. And many
many fine walnut trees were cut
down for fuel. We had some very
fine black walnuts although many
of them we're felled to make room
Tor homes or gardens.
Then some one discovered that
this wood made excellent cabinet
work material 1t also made fine
gunstocks. This was in the begin
ming of the 18th century. Later,
during the Civil War, a great many
gunstocks made of this durable wood
were needed Still there was no re-
placement of this valuable tree ex-
cept from the nuts buried by squir-
rels or those covered by debris.
Again the World War caused
heavy demands to be made on black
walnut for gunstocks and also for
airplane propellers. These are made
mostly of metal today, which re-
leases the wood for other needs,
such as furniture, radio cabinets,
musical instruments, casketS, sew
ing machines and interior finish. 1t
is also used, either in solid wood cut
from lumber or in the form of ply
wood, for figured or plain veneer.
A common thickness for black wal
nut face as a veneer is one-twenty-
eighth of an inch.
Black walnut furniture is seen
principally as dining room and bed
room pieces. Dining tables, usually
subjected to hard wear, made Of this
wood stand the highest tests. Book
cases, desks and living room tables

ssfs Dsfs"'s Quiz

@. II the many Americans who
are sharing in the present greater
national income spend all their in
creased earnings, how do they lose?
A. Such spending tends to push
up the prices of products available
in limited quantity. Thus, all, or
almost all, of the expanded income
would be absorbed by higher prices,
leaving little or nothing to show for
greater earnings. BY restricting our
spending, and investing in Defense
savings bonds and stamps, increase
in total spending will be prevented
and we can buy the goods which
are scarce without a rise in prices.
@. Can the Treasury call Defense
savings bonds for redemption prior
to maturity?
A. No. But a Defense savings
bond may be redeemed by the owner
at his option in accordance with
Treasury regulations.
Note-To buy Defense bonds and
stamps, go to the nearest post Office,
bank, or savings and loan associa-
ton: or write to the Treasurer Of
the United States here Also stamps
are on sale at retail stores.

Natures Children
Black Walnut
(Juglans nigra)

are often made of black walnut.
Lately there has been a demand for
this wood for Office furniture. Musi-
cal instruments made of this wood
are in demand. Then we have in
teriors finished with black Walnut
and today the smartest cafes are
using it The less valuable pieces
of this wood are used for railway
ties.
There is a decided movement on
foot to plant black walnuts as orna-
mental trees. They are being plant
ed to wood lots and for commercial
purposes. There will, of course, be
an interval of waiting for this in
vestment to pay dividends.
Black walnut trees grow naturally
over a large area which extends from
Vermont westward into Nebraska
and southwark to Southern Georgia
and Southern Texas. The range of
their greatest commercial production
Evening star., 1941-10-13

is limited to the central part of its
natural range.
Soil that is rich, moist, deep and
we'll drained suits the black walnut
Usually it prefers lower elevations,
and there are three places it seems
to choose particularly. Grouped in
fields, in fence corners and in scat
tered hardwood stands and in pure
stands of limited extent.
Black walnut is by nature a large
tree. Logs have been cut from
some Of them as large as n inches
in diameter at the small end. There
are on record trees $50 feet high. To
the squirrels we owe our planting
of forest-grown black walnut. These
trees are the fastest growing hard
woods. At the age of IL years a
tree will reach an average height of
n inches with a diameter of 3.8
inches breast high.
Tree diseases and injury to the
tree from insects are infrequent. In
recent years Boy Scouts have been
adding black walnut trees to our
rapidly diminishing stands. The
nuts have a commercial value that
should not be overlooked.

ALDERMAN FOR 8 YEARS

He was an alderman from 1890
to 1888 and city treasurer from
1898 to 1906. He retired from ac-
tive politics in 1912 but always
stood ready to perform any civic
duty when called on. Several times
he served as foreman OF federal
grand juries here
In 1888 he re-entered the politi-
cal lists temporarily. to oppose
the plan to scrap Detroit's present
nIne-man Common Council. elected
at large. The plan was TO elect
councilmen from y districts. This.
he warned, meant a return of
graft and scandal. and he pointed
to the wholesale arrests of alder
men in the Wabash Railroad
scandal.
Mr.. Thompson was the son of
Thomas and Brigid Barlum Thomp-
son. He attended the public
