Dewooraic; Wada Bellefonte, Pa,, January 10, 1930. HARVEST OF SEED FOR FORRESTS IS A BIG PROBLEM Keeping the State Forest nurser- ies well supplied with seed, so that sufficient trees are always on hand to meet the annual demands of Pennsylvania's army of tree plant- ers, is one of the problems that con- fronts the Department of forests and Waters, State Forester Joseph Illick said today. The State forest tree nurseries always contain at least 30,000,000 trees, all of which have been grown from seed. Some idea of what this number means Illick said may be imagined from the fact that these trees, if planted only five feet apart, would more than encircle the earth at the equator. About one-third of the trees are lifted annually for planting throughout the Common- wealth, 4 Since every tree must come from a seed it is obvious that the produc- tion of 10.000,000 must successfully germinate and the resulting seedlings nursed along without loss until large enough for planting. Many more seed are planted than are actually needed for there are always some that do not germinate, The number certified seed per pound is as variable as the total number of seed produced but not necessarily in the same proportion. White pine, for instance, has about 26,000 seed to a pound and Scofch pine 70,000 seed to a pound, but each of them may produce only 11.000 trees, and less than 10,000 trees may result from the pound of hemlock, which contains upwards of 300,000 seed. About three-fourths of the seed of broadleaf species like locust and oak will produce trees. In the case of tulip trees as little as one- tenth of the seed can be depended upon to germinate, The number of good seed per pound varies greatly even in the case of a single species. The source of tree seed and its freshness account for wide range in the number that sprout. Local seed is preferred, but is rarely available in sufficient quantities. This is es- pecially true of evergreens like pine, Open grown, bushy trees of medium size are the best seed pro- ducers. Our red pine seed comes from the forests of the Lake States. Much of the white pine is collected by our foresters in Pennsylvania, and the balance comes mostly from the lake States and New England. Nor- way spruce and Scotch pine are both European trees and have not been planted in this country long enough to produce all the seed needed. Some of this seed must accordingly be imported. ; Seed years of trees, are another factor to be taken into consideration. Some bear seed at two or three year intervals and others longer. A full seed crop of white pine cannot be axpected oftener than once in five ‘0 seven years. Losses in seed stor- | that age may also occur, although the | WOULD MAKE INTERCEPTED FORWARD PASS DEAD BALL Tinkerers with the rules of foot- ball have lost no time in coming | through with a suggestion which will | merit consideration, whether or not ' it will be adopted by the Rules Com- | mittee when it goes into its usual secret huddle by the sea | The boys—undoubtedly influenced ! by Jack Elder's 98-yard' run on an’ intercepted pass thrown by Chris’ Cagle, which furnished the only score in the Army-Notre Dame | game, want to know why a forward ! pass should not be dead at the spot of interception just the same as a recovered fumble. : There is more logic to this claim than to that of many other rules which have been adopted. Further- more, it would probably open up the game even more if it were adopted because the interception hazard would be minimized, espe- cially in close games, and the same impetus might be given to the for- ward pass as that recently given the lateral fling. It would be a good change in the rules to make the ball dead at the point of recovery on a lateral or fumble. Make every forward pass a free ball just as a lateral pass now is. In other words, if a pass is incom-' pleted let the boys scramble for it just as they now scramble for a lateral or a fumble—and let the ball be dead at the point of recovery. This would not only eliminate a lot of the foolish and indiscriminate passing furries, but would put a stop on too much passng if the ball is to become dead at the point of intercep- tion. This would make the pass much more of a gamble than it now is, Whenever a pass play would be put on it would signalize real action with the passing side gaining ground or the ball going to the opposing team. Every pass would mean something and a lot of t ime now wasted by incompleted passes would be saved. The pass would have a real bite and the rules would be standardized even more than they are now. Every loose ball except a punt, would be- come a free ball with both sides elig- ible to recover but not advance, PAY ATTENTION TO LABOR RULINGS Attention has been called as to the requirements of the Woman's Labor Law which applies to every estab- lishment, hotel, restaurant, mercan- tile or otherwise, where female labor is employed. No female shall be employed more than ten hours in any one day, nor more than fifty-four hours in any one week, nor more than six days consecutively, in any establishment. Exceptions: In any week in which a legal holiday occurs and is observ- ed females may work not more than two hours per day overtime for three days of the same week, but not to exceed fifty-four hours in week. No female between 14 and 16 Department’s improved methods of | years of age shall be employed with- zeeping seed have led to the storage | out an employment »f reserve supplies for carrying over vears of no seed crops or incomplete srops due to poor weather condi- ‘ions. Rand 3 300D FLYING SCHOOLS NEED OF AVIATION | tablishment before six o'clock A, M., The enormous increase in aerial wctivity in the United States has reated a very definite need for fiy- ng schools throughout the country. Manufacturing facilities, engineering ind the use of proper materials have vdvanced with the times but schools | | | | { | | ‘or training pilots efficiently are still acking, . . Frank Coffyn, veteran in the field yf aviation, points out the need in wn article which appears in the Jan- | certificate, and shall work not more than nine hours in any one day, nor more than fifty- one hours in any one week, nor be- fore six o'clock in the morning, or or after eight o’clock in the evening. No female under twenty-one years of age shall be employed in any es- or after nine o'clock P. M, A schedule listing the names and hours of work of all females, togeth- er with a digest of the Woman’s Law or Child Labor Law as the case may be shall be kept posted in each room in which any female works. As these Laws have been in effec ever since 1915, and as the provi- | sions of same have been thoroughly wary issue of Worlds Work, He BYyS: “What we need most of all are sroperly run and intelligently man- | iged flying schools, adequately quipped with good planes that are inspected. | sonstantly © and = rigidly The personnel of these schools must ye well paid, experienced pilots.

For many years people hought that the Medicine Hat in he province of Saskatchewan, Can- .da, was the coldest. This was be- .ause daily reports of the tempera- ure were telegraphed to the United itates Weather Bureau and these eports showed the lowest recorded emperature. But, according to cientists and metreologists it is not he worst spot on earth inhabited by aan, At the town of Verkheyansk n the Yana River in eastern Siber- a, in sixty-seven degrees north lat- tude, the world’s lowest air temper- ture, ninety degrees below zero fahrenheit, was recorded twice—on ‘anuary 15, 1885, and on February ~ and Feb. 7, 1892. In this district he soil is frozen in winter to a epth of several hundred feet. Trees re frozen to their hearts and can e broken like glass and the cold hakes steel axes so brittle they reak when used, The rivers freeze b their very bottoms, Yet there are considerable number of people who ve and thrive there, occupying hemselves with hunting, fishing, nd gold minings, the last two, of ourse only when the weather is jilder, in the summer time.

MUST LICENSE DOGS PROMPTLY FOR 1930 Secretary of Agriculture, C. G. Jordan, and John L. Passmore, in’ charge of dog law enforcement ac- tivities, asserted that the State will not tolerate delay among owners in securing 1930 licenses for dogs. “The law requires that every dog must be licensed not later than Jan- “Dog own- | ers who disregard the law are sub- ject to a fine of $5 to $100 or a jail | “The County Treasurer is the only ! official in a county who can issue dog licenses.

So fast are the old bills being tak- en from circulation that more than 180 tons are now stored in the Treasury Department's strong boxes at Washington and a great macera- tor and an incinerator, working at top speed, have been unable to keep up with their task of destruction. .and other : fashion are taking up sports, study- ‘way possible, i less FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.

In the evening one sees dresses and ensembles of various lovely bur- gundy and claret shades, so much so that the color card of a textile house must read something like a wine list, These dark wine shades are lovely in velvet, and are seen in the form of some very attractive ensembles furred in sable, mink and kolinsky. It is predicted that much red will be seen next season, and this would not be surprising, as many of the leading houses are showing resort clothes in various shades of red. Green in various shades is also destined for much attention next season, and so perhaps it would not be entirely out of place to call both red and green signal colors! Coats are establishing new lows for the season. Every coat shown or seen seems to take a pronounced dip at the back. The majority of the new coats are caped, with the cape treated in many individual and interesting ways. For daytime the black cloth coat, trimmed with black fur, remains popular, and for afternoon wear the velvet coat, with luxurious fur trim- mings, appears to be the ideal gar- ment, if its indorsement by some of the smartest women here is any cri- terion. : —Straws will soon tell which way the winds of fashion are blowing, for already many hats of straw, in most cases combined with felt, are being shown. Although these are destined for resort wear, there is indication that the straw hat, especially such weaves as bakou, blaibunal and others of the linen variety, are assured of con- tinued success next year, And in addition we are promised several new straws both for dress and sports wear. To talk about hats is certainly a pleasing task on a gray day, and to view those shown is in the nature of a tonic. For the present we are wearing felts of a very fine and supple qual- ity, and some velvet, although not as much as earlier in the season. Side drapes, to be adjusted at the will of the wearer, are seen on many of the hats designed for wear with huge fur coat collars, Also some jaunty little turbans and berets, There is, too, a distinct interest in the brimmed hat, some- thine that will be of increased im- portance next season. —The American type of beauty now sets a standard for the world, according to J. J, Quinn, vice-presi- dent of Pinaud, Inc., who has just returned on the Ile de France, from a tour of Paris, Vienna, Budapest and other so-called “beauty capitals” of the world. * Mr. Quinn described the American type of beauty as clear-eyed, tanned, sturdy and shapely. It has com- pletely eclipsed the pale, fragile drawing-room type, and smart Pari- siennes are now modeling themselves after it, : The coutouriers have joined the beauty experts in accepting - the American beauty as the ideal and | are creating clothes to suit the type specifically. The women of other races, Mr, Quinn explained, are ex- pected to adapt themselves—or the clothes—as best they may. : © “In order to successfully imitate the American type of beauty, French Continental ing the American diet and in every adopting American customs and activities,” Mr. Quinn said. “The ambition abroad is to change native characteristics so that only that which is American is ap- parent. ‘ “There is a practical reason for this new desire to look like the fresh American type of beauty. Ameri- cang are expected to start many vogues. The sun-tan and stocking- modes were introduced by American girls at Biarritz. While | the whole world folowed, only the did so. typically American types successfully.” Plain Orange Salad.—Housekeep- ers who are canny in other direc- tions too often forget that a heavy salad is out of place at the dinner served ' table. Plain orange salad with French dressing on lettuce leaves cannot be improved upon for most persons by any admixture. Dic- ed pineapple with orange is always delicious, and for variety peaches or pears may be added, Large ripe alli- gator pears, at their best now in the fancy fruit shops, are one of the possibilities. The Banana in Mexico.—The diet of the common people of Mexico is considerably relieved by sweets, which are plentiful and cheap and which they crave. Bananas are eaten raw or dried classes, It is stated that 250 varie- ties of the banana are grown in Mexico. and when we consider that banana flour contains 90.7 per cent nutriment it is clear that of all nat- ural foods this fruit is ideal as a strength producer—especially in the tropics, where there is little need of meat.

In the Kaibab National | Forest, on the north rim of the can- | yon, there are more deer than the i winter range will support, while on the south rim, where deer | roamed freely, there is now a decid- led scarcity of this interesting ani- ‘mal. So for several years a few | fawns have been transported from ‘the north to the south each fall | Until this year they made the trip , by truck covering a distance of 240 miles of road and taking from 24 to 30 hours to make year’s fawns, making the crossing deluxe, were only three hours on the way, by truck and airplane. Leav- ing Pipe Springs, they traveled 16 miles to Fredonia, and from there were transported 95 miles across the Butte on the south side by airplane, From Red Butte to Grand Canyon village they again traveled by truck, a distance of 17 miles. no ill effects ride. The young deer were trapped ear- ly in the summer in the Kaibab Na- tional Forest. Capture of deer is made by the use of specially trained dogs, which run them down and hold them with their forepaws until the hunters come up. They are then taken to ranches, where they are raised on diluted cow’s milk, hay and browse until they are three months old, when they are ready for ship- ment to fill orders which the Forest Service has received earlier in the year for animals for stocking pur- poses, The deer taken to the south rim of the Grand Canyon will be fed and cared for during the winter. By the time spring comes they will be able to care for themselves, rang- ing the rim and inner canyon coun- try. The air transportation of these animals was made possible through the courtesy of the airplane com- pany operating a sightseeing service over the Grand Canyon. A regular passenger-carrying plane was used, from their with thle seats removed from the cabin. The fawns were in specially made individual crates throughout ‘the journey. ONE BATHTUB FOR EVERY 20 CITIZENS “Although the United States boasts of one automobile to every ‘seven persons, there is only one bathtub to every 20” Stanley A. Smith, head of the Washington State College department of archi- tectural engineering, said in a lec- ture. . “This fact seems surprising to the younger generation,” he declared, “but most of the older people: re- member the days of the ‘old oaken bucket’ and the fact is that our present-day bathtubs, lavatories, shower baths and kitchen sinks were unknown in America until the mid- dle of the last century. “It is true that the ancient people believed in frequent bathing, If that ancient Egyptian Pharoah’s daughter had not been a believer in the bath it is quite possible that Moses would not have been rescued from his wa- ‘tery cradle, great believers in personal cleanli- , ness, but the habit of bathing prac- tically ceased during the dark ages. “As one writer has expressed it, | “A thousand years without a bath’ —surely those were - dark ages— dark with dirt. Not until the begin- ning of the 15th century did the world remember that nature de- mands a clean skin, and then Henry IV of England organized the Knights of the Bath. Candidates were se- | lected by the king and were not ini- tiated until they “had taken a bath” Smith declared. Co-eds, Smith said, did less bath- ing in olden times. A copy of a college catalog pub- lished about 200 years ago at one of the schools for daughters of no- bility at St. Cyr, France, sets forth “Pupils are entitled to have one set of underclothing, one pair of stock- ings and two handkerchiefs a month, Towels: pupils, one every week; nuns, one every two weeks. Foot- baths: pupils, one a month; nuns, on- ly by special authorization of the ' superior. Complete baths: three a year (May, June, July.)

H. Thiemann, assistant trade commissioner at Ottawa, The great herd is now on its long trek across the frozen tundras of Northern Canada, going from Alaska to the northwest territories, It is expected that the transfer of the animals ov- (er 1500 miles will take two years, and it is costing the Canadian gov- ernment approximately $190 000. The nucleus of 3000 animals is ex- pected to increase to about 250,000. Aside from their importance as a foodstuff, and of course, their tra- | ditional use on Christmas eve rein- number of other reasons, As a means of transportation, reindeer compete | with Eskimo dogs, for they can find. | their own food on a journey, which | dogs cannot do, and they can pack merchandise over open land during the summer when dogs are useless. The thick-haired skins are made in- to boots, clothing, sleeping bags, tents and blankets. Sometimes the skins are cut into strips to be used as lashing for sleds, fillings for snowshoes, and as harness for dogs. Tendon are used in sewing boots and clothing, and even horns and bones are utilized.
