HOW TO SAVE TREES, PURPOSE OF BULLETIN r P*trk Service Publication Shows Bad Effects of Improper Pruning. TELLS HOW TO DO WORK Many beautiful trees in Indianapolis are being ruined by improper pruning, according to a bulletin issued today by George H. Morgan In charge of the special service of the city park department. "Proper pruning, especially in the removal of large limbs have a decided baa ring upon the future health and beauty of the specimen pruned,” he said. “Improper pruning is the ultimate cause of decay and permits a convenient medium for the entrance of disease and Insect pests. Much improper pruning is being done in Indianapolis at present because citizens at large do not realize the necessity and benefits derived from good and sound pruning. It is not a question of getting dead, diseased or obnoxious limbs removed in the easiest or quickest way possible, but it is a question of having this work properly done o as to retain the original beauty of specimen in question. CUT LIMBS CLOSE TO TREE. "Ail removals should be made close up to and parallel to the main trunk or limb on which such removal is to be made. A stub two or three inches long will not permit proper healing and as a result this stub decays and n>ts back eventually dropping from the tree leaving a knothole that penetrates to the interior of the trunk and as a result extensive tree surgery to the extent of the cavity will be necessary to restore and keep the specimen in good vigorous condition, whereas, a little time and care would have eliminated all this expense, time and trouble, and the tree left in a better condition generally. “A limb of any appreciable size should never be removed at a 6ingle cut, instead three distinct sawings should be made. THREE STAGES CF WORK. "A preliminary cut should be made on the underside six inches to a foot beyond where the final cut is to be made, this cut should reach one-fourth to onehalf way through the limb. A good time to stop is when the saw becomes pinched in the cut. A second cut should be made on the upper side of the limb an Inch or so beyond the first one, and continued until the limb fails. A third cut should be made as close to the trunk or main limb as possible, removing the stub left, care should be exercised so as to not strip the barbvon the removal proper. "After complete removal is made the wound should be protected by a waterproof covering to prevent the entrance and insect pests and to prewfnt decay. Any good linseed oil paint may be used for this purpose, a very good dressing and one usually recommended being XXX Asphaitnm. “Those desiring advice on this or any other problem are requested to consult the Special Service, Department Public Parks.” Whistler on Program for Elks’ Melodies Harold Stockton, the whistler, will be one of the headliners on the program for the Elks’ old-time melodies next Bunday evening at the Murat.

Girls Enjoy Life While Attending League Sessions Secretaries and Stenographers Find Swiss Capital Is Great Place. GENEVA, Dec. 15. —Feminism has made heavy inroads into the League of Nations despite the fact that many of the nation members have not approved suffrage. In the center of the assembly hall on the bench of the Swedish delegation sits Mrs. Bugge-Wicksell. substitute delegate. She wtars a dark brown robe, with white sleeves and no hat. Although not called upon to address a plenary session of the assembly, she works as hard as any of the male delegates. She was prominent in the debate on white slave traffic yesterday. Besides Mr*. Bugge-Wicksell sits a pretty youug girl, her secretary. The Norwegian delegation has another woman substitute. On the French bench beside M. Ilanotaux sits a youug woman secretary. She i makes copious notes and engagee in 1 long whispered conversations with M, Hanotaux, M. Bourgeois and M. Vivtani. Behind the rostrum occupied by President Paul Hymans are six girls— ste- ■ uograpbers and secretaries. Their dresses lend about the only color to the dally meetings and two of them wear skirts short enough for the Rue De La Palx Along the sides of the hall are perhaps forty more women stenographers. The corridors of the League of Nations headquarters and the Hotel I>e Delegations, where each nation has an office, arc full of women stenographers and clerks. These are mostly French and English, with a few scattered Belgians and Swiss. All of them speak both French and English. At the headquarters of the International Labor Bureau women outnumber men. Most of the girls seem to be having (he time of their lives in Genera. Theli only complaint is that at dances given by the league secretariat there are not nearly enough men to go around.
