YULETIDE TREE IS GETTING NEW LEASEON LIFE Thinning Out of Forests Is Helping Growth, Experts Aver. By Science Service WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—'The Christmas tree, center of the Yuletide celebration ever since our halfbarbaric forefathers feasted in the forests of Germany, threatened as the result of present-day need for conservation of timber, has received anew lease of life. Within reason, says the United States forest service. Christmas trees may be used without danger to America's chances for recovery of her vanishing forests. Indeed, the use of Christmas trees even may aid in that recovery. For in man-helped forests as in naturally propagated ones, many moro young trees must be started . than ever have a chance to grow to full maturity. A few years after bum or a landslide, the swept area may be thick with saplings "like hair on a dog's back.” And foresters imitate more or less this thick-planting tendency of nature. Sale Helps New Forests But as the little trees grow up they all demand room to spread their branches, and if they are all left standing they will push and elbow each other most unmannerly. A stand of saplings left unthinned will grow up into a weed patch in- _ stead of useful timber, full of slim. spindling trees whose trunks might -be good for fishing poles but not for much else. So the foresters have to go in •nd select the young trees that are to be the timber, and ruthlessly cut out all others. Hundreds of thousands of young evergreens arc thus eliminated every year. They used to be heaped up and , burned to get rid of them, but with the advancing price of Christmas trees it has become better economy to go to the further labor of transporting them to market. Tire sale of the little trees that are doomed anyhow thus helps to finance the new forests. Spruce Is Heavy Favorite There is a distinct heirarchy of preference in the Christmas tree field. By far the heaviest favorite is the spruce. There are several species, but they all look pretty much alike to the layman, and they are alike for Christmas-tree purposes. They have short, stiff, prickly needles, pretty completely covering their twigs. Another kind of tree that is a favorite on the Christmas market when there is a supply is the fir. This looks a good deal like the spruce, but its needles are curved and softer than spruce needles, and arc not prickly to handle. When it has cones, they stand up like thick candles, whereas spruce cones are smaller and hang down. Firs often have drops of sticky resin on them, which gives them the alternate name of "balsam.” Tittle Pines Are Used Where spruces and firs are not abundant, notably in the south, little pines are used a good deal. Several species of pines grow in the poor soils of the barrens and on rock ledges, and especially in the lowlands where spruce and fir do not venture in the south. Even more of a favorite than the pines, in the non-spruce areas, is the red cedar or Virginia juniper. This has the advantage of being more compact and symmetrical than a young pine tree. Its twigs also are better clothed with their short green needles, giving a more uniformly green appearance. Almost all other species of evergreens also have their users, and occasionally in the south or in California one even sees little palm trees drafted. But where people :. can get it. the spruce tree, the original "Tannenbaum” of the old German celebrations, remains the favorite.

SOUTH AMERICA BOWS IN HONOR OF LIBERATOR Republics Hold Ceremony in Memory of Death of Simon Bolivar. By United Press CARACAS, Venezuela, Dec. 17. Venezuela, birthplace of General Simon Bolivar, liberator of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru and Bolivia, today commemorated the one hundredth anniversary of his death by officially dedicating the reconstructed national pantheon where his ashes are buried. President Juan B. Perez, high government officials and members of the diplomatic corps, attended the ceremony. Several statues to General Bolivar in other cities of the republic were unveiled today. General Bolivar was born here July 24, 1783, of a wealthy family. He died at 47 near Santa Marta, Colombia, virtually penniless, having expended his fortune in fighting Spain. He took part in 200 battles, fought over a vast section of South America, ranging from the hot level plains of Venezuela to the frozen peaks of the Andes in Bolivia. Colombia Celebrates By United Press SANTA MARTA, Colombia, Dec. 17. Diplomatic representatives of six South American republics, all of which owe their freedom from Spanish domination to the military genius of General Simon Bolivar, gathered in this Americanized banana town today to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the death of the “Liberator.” The official program was strikingly simple. Two minutes of silence was observed throughout the republic beginning at 1:03 p. m., the hour General Bolivar died. Immediately afterward, President Eraique Olaya Herrera, who, accompanied by his cabinet, had flown to this city by airplane from Bogota, placed a crown of gold on a tablet erected in the room where the “Liberator” passed his last days.

‘BONE DRY’LAW FOES AROUSED BY COPS; TRIAL Entrapment Charge Spurs Movement for Repeal of Wright Act. Entrapment methods used by federal investigators in brining about the conviction of six Indianapolis policemen for conspiracy to violate tlie dry amendment and the threat of a congressional investigation has given impetus toward the movement to obtain amendment and possible repeal of the Wright bone dry law in the coming general assembly. Many state senators and representatives who, although having moist leanings, have voted dry steadily, are protesting at the methods used by the dry agents in setting up a speakeasy, and declared that the prohibition law's are taking away the constitutional guarantees of the people. The Indiana Anti-Saloon League recognizes the danger signs, and at a meeting last week declared war against any attempt to weaken any of the dry measures. Individual senators and representatives openly declare they will seek to amend the Wright dry law-. Among the leaders in the movement are Senator James J. Nejdl of Whiting, a candidate for president pro-tem of the senate, who favors a dry referendum measure, and Chester A. Perkins South Bend, Democrat and avowed w r et, w'ho is said to favor amendment of the Wright law to permit sale of medicinal whisky. Representatives Fred Galloway, Indianapolis: Francis Salata, South Bend, and others are urging repeal of the Wright law. The bone dry act forbids the sale of whisky for medicinal purposes, and it provides for the payment of

Keeps From Spoiling ‘Talkie’’ By Cough—Doctors Advised Method Popular Here Marion Nixon is still another, like scores of Hollywood stars, who have taken the advice of physicians and found how quickly colds disappear after a few pleasant doses of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. For in Hollywood, as in hundreds of Indianapolis homes, this hospital tested remedy has become standard treatment for colds. “My director was frantic,” says Miss Nixon, "when I arrived at the studio with a terrible cold, which had started in my head and spread down into my chest. I was simply too hoarse to work. It was very clear that unless I could end the cold quickly there would either be expensive delay or the risk of coughing or sneezing while the photoplay was being recorded. “Within a few minutes after I was given a pleasant spoonful of Ayer's Pectoral, I was relieved by its comfortable, healing warmth. That night, I was able to enjoy refreshing sleep, which had been impossible the night before. The next morning I felt a great deal better and by afternoon my voice cleared up so that I could continue making the picture. In a day or so, all disagreeable symptoms of my cold had disappeared entirely.”

The $35 bonus was proposed by the Anti-Saloon League as a method to increase the zeal of prosecutors and if it is removed they foresee a weakening of prohibition I** enforcement. Emotions have a direct effect upon our bodies. The brain telegraphs through the nerves that it fears something unusual is taking place, and the heart responds.
