Uncle Sam Plants
Flillions of Trees
That Undo Sain is determined fu
ture generations of young Americans
hall -not s’liYi'i' any decrease in lii
crop of Christmas trees is shown by
the fact that the Government for- '
service is about finishing up its big
planting of 10 million trees. All
over the vast arena of the national
forest reserves in the Western States,
mostly iu mountainous regions this
work has been vigorously prosecuted
for several months. Not only does
the Government wish to preserve the
- took of Christmas trees, but it seeks
In preserve tho fertility of the higher
irea:, and prevent the washing'away
of .the soil into the valleys by the
rainfall. The trees and their roots
form a huge resivoir on each hill and

! COST 0K MAKING MOY*;y
AND STAMPS I Vt iil' ASi.
PRICE OF INKS NEARLY
QUADRUPLED BY WAR
By employing rigid economy the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing at
Washington, has met the scarcity of
dyestuffs nnd now has available
enough pigments to color the govern
ment's mom; and stamps for six
mouths. By the end of that period,
Director Ralph believes, either a sup
ply of colors made in America will be
available, or arrangements will be
made for obtaining ample shipments
i ; oyi Germany. -
When tha war broke out the bureau
succeeded in buying a year’s supply
of the necessary blues and reds for
postage stamps. The amount of color
used in inks was reduced to a min
imum, even at the risk in some eases
of making the prints product a trifle
jailer than ordinary.
In the last year the bureau has ob
tained several small lots of colors
and a good sized shipment from Ger
many was obtained through diplomat
ic negotiations. The process, however,
has been expensive. Director Ralph
said today that., for small lots of red
dyes he had been forced to pay
seventy-five, eighty and ninety cents
a pound, compared with twenty-six
cents before the war began.
The bureau has been able to quit
the foreign market, in producing one
color and turned to American manu
fncti'crs. A vegetable dye used in
coloring black ink, formerly import
id from Germany, now is being pur
chased in large quantities from a Pen
sylvania dvestuffp lant.

I < i the Honor of France
(From Philadelphia Evening Ledger)
Nothing finer has happened in this
war than the action of France in
sending back to Switzerland Eugene
Gilbert, the aviator, who was forced
to land on Swiss soil in July because
of an accident to his motor. He was
interned by the Swiss government and
was allowed to go about on his prom
ise that lio would not atempt to es
cape. He broke his word a few dr.ys
ago, crossed the frontier and report
ed for duty at tbo war office in Paris.
The honor of Franco as well as the
honor of a soldier were involved in
his actions, and Franco, in order that
her honor may be unsullied, has re
pudiated the action of Gilbert. The
word of a French soldier must be as
good as h;.s bund, lest the word of
France, when given on a “scrap of
paper” be regarded as an empty
promise.

WOMEN IN DUEL WITH KNIVES
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 28_In a
duel for tlio love of a man, carried
on in a candle-liglited cellar of an
apartment house, two women were
so badly cut by the ten-inch knives
they used that both may die.
The women, Jennie Wilkarson and
Annie Marluan, were stripped to the
waist. Each was armed with a knife.
They fought fiercely. Neighbors heard
cries and telephoned the police. When
the latter arrived they found the
women in a struggle, each stabbiug
the other frantically.
