The American chestnut,
supposedly totally destroyed
by the chestnut blight which
spread over the country like
wildflre about 20 years ago,
has risen from extinction.
A stand Of mature trees
unaffected by the blight now
is fiourishing in Missouri, 1t
is learned from a bulletin of
the Baumlanda Horticultural
Laboratory Of Croton Falls,
N. Y. The stand, planted in
1920, is two-and-a-hal acres
in extent and the trees now
are Is to 20 inches in diam
eter.
Since the blight virtually
exterminated the chestnut in
its natural range, efforts
have been made to develop
some resistant species, but
with poor results. Now, by
using rays from radioactive
cobalt, there is much better
hope of building up resist
ance. Five hundred pounds Of
nuts have been gathered
from the Missouri grove, To-
Gated in the Ozarks, and sent
to the Universities of Vir-
ginia and Tennessee for ex-
perimental work to improve
the quality by irradiation.
Blight Spread Fast
The blight struck first
and hardest through the APP
palachianS and spread quick
~ from Maine to Georgia.
Mountainsides were left
covered with dead white
trunks. Primitive communi-
ties which had depended
largely on the annual chest
nut crop were ruined.
There was some compen-
sation for loss of the Ameri-
can chestnut by introduction
Of the Chinese chestnut, re-
sistant to blight but, in the
opinion of many, quite in.
ferior in quality.
Occasional single trees have
been found throughout the
Appalachians which at first
appeared to be blight resist
ant, but each time, with the
appearance of the second
generation, the hope has
proved futile.

There were cat-dogs so
million years ago.
Two excellent fossil skulls
of an animal that apparently
was a close relative to the
common ancestor of all the
dogs of today now are being
studied by Smithsonian In
stitution Psychologists.
The creature was Daphoe-
nus. about the size of a COL
lie, which lived in the Oligo-
Gene geological period, when

@. Why does the expression
ito shed crocodile tears"
mean to show false or hypo-
critical sympathy-T. Old.
A. A crocodile a actually
sheds tears when 1t opens It's
mouth to engulf a large VIC
tim-hence it was at one time
thought to be hypocriticaIly
sympathizing with its own
victim. It Is now known that
a crocodile's eyes water and
shed tears whenever its laws
are forced far apart.

A. Claiborne Leigh states

The article quotes "a state

Law and Order

Regarding K a hryn H.
Stones letter August 20 on
the subject of law and order,
I agree with her statement
that all citizens contribute
positively to law and order"
Such a rule has always been
accepted by citizens of good
will and honor. Society in
Virginia, unlike many States,
has been built on a firm
foundation so that our citi-
zens have been free from vio-
lence and fear-just as they
have been free from disorder
in the many things that did
not comply with our State
laws and customs. Mrs.
Stones treatise on law and
order is a little late and Short
sighted, just as is her esti-
mate of Mr.. Jefferson.
Citizens of Northern Vir-
ginia became troubled as
early as 1916 when Mrs. Stone
and others proceeded with the
establishment of an inte-
grated school in Fairfax
County. While this act was
carefully worked out to be
within the law" it was at
the same time out of order,
because schools of all kinds
in Virginia were maintained
for white and Negro sepa-
rately. This type Of agitation
and defiance of the order"
did not cause trouble, but
only because Of the restraint
of citizens of Northern Vir-
ginia, although all eyes were
focused on Burgundy Farms
School.
Mrs. Stone and her COL
leagues did not pause to think
about the full meaning of law
and order, rather it was the
kind of indulgence of the
citizens of Northern Virginia
that halted the danger signal,
although public opinion was
SO per cent against the ire
sponsible group who insulted
and harassed the community
through establishment and
maintenance of this school
which Negro and white chill
dren attended. 1t is unfortu-
nate that Mrs. Stone has
seen fit to lecture and criti-
CHE State officials, when she
has f1outed the order and
the customs" for the past IL
years.
I say again that Mrs.
Stones letter is a little late
for she should have pondered
well the meaning of 'law and
order" at least IL years ago.
She should also reread Mr..
JefferSon's letters and she will
discover that he was a States
RICHTER" and he said "the
support of the State govern
ments in all their rights is the
most competent administra-
ton for our domestic con-
Germs"
