This Tree Did Not

Nearly Perfect
Mahogany Tree
Found In Africa

The king" of Mahogany
trees, the most perfect ever
discovered, was recently felled
in the Gold Coast Colony Of
British West Africa. Because
of it's magnificent 158-foot
height and 18-foot circum-
ference, experts believe it will
yield 10000 feet of superb
figured mahogany.
Growing Since Pilgrim Days!
It's majestic size and rare
wealth of figured mahogany

believe it flourished in the
equatorial Aderi Deni jungles
since before the pilgrim IA
thers landed in America! Yes,
it takes centuries of slow
growth to produce the superb
woods that 60 into fine ma

Mahogany Trees Very Rare
Only one or two mahogany
trees occur in an average acre
of jungle growth. And from
a hundred trees usually only
ONE contains desirable fig

readily see that this record
breaking tree, with it's profu-
sion of rich and beautiful ma
hogany formations, Is truly a
tremendous find"
United States Imports Most.
United States is the larg-
est buyer of Gold Coast ma
hogany. In the last year for
which there are official sta
stistics, 1945, America bought
1,475 900 cubic feet of timber
(mostly mahogany from the
Gold Coast.
No accurate figures are yet
possible, but 1t Is believed
that this tree is worth more
than any other tree shipped

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: You
speak of the folly of grandmothers
trying to look like flappers. So far
SO good. But you know lot Of
women with children never have
the time or money to get a peek
into a beauty parlor until our last
daughter is married of.
And you know how well the
usual American husband keeps
himself. I have heard they even
have their eyebrows plucked. So
is there any harm in our trying to
keep pace with them? Or is 1t
better to send father off to the Elk
banquet alone because mother did
not feel up to wearing tight clothes
that night? 1t is no comfort to
any woman to look in her mirror
and see something short and
squatty, with feet that bulge over
her slippers, stringy hair, gray lips
and shiny skin. Therefore. the
Old Girl who holds herself in hand
at the dinner table, keeps her body
supple and has pride in the state
of her hair, skin and nails deserves
every pretty thing her admlrlng
old husband may buy her. and 1t
helps to keep romance alive.
"A GRANDMOTHER.
Answer: Three cheers for you,
Grandmother, and for all other
women who try to keep themselves
as attractive in body and mind as
they can! This is an ugly old
world in which we are sadly IN
need of more beauty, and I &C
count it unto any woman for
Righteousness who makes herself
a treat for the eyes instead of re-
manning as homely as nature Gre
ated her.
So you get me wrong, Grandma.
If you think for one moment that
I believe in women going around
frowsy and unkempt and looking
as if they had just been f1shed out
of the ragbag because they have
passed their 60th or 10th or even
80th birthday. On the contrary
s believe that the older woman
krows, the more careful she should
be abuot her grooming and the
lovelier clothes she should have
For age is not of itself attractive
and it needs to be wrapped up in
a lot of chiffons to make it deco
rative.
And that was just the point
was trying to make in the article
to which you refer-that age
