Expert Will Endeavor
To Save Tree Planted
By George Washington
FREDERICKSBURG, Va., Oct. 2.
(/p)—'Martin Davey, famous tree sur
geon and congressman from Ohio, has
volunteered his personal services to
help save for posterity the last of
the 13 horse chestnut trees which
George Washington planted here to
represent the 13 original colonies.
The tree, slowly dying because of
its great age, and the inroads of
the chestnut blight, is located on
the property of John F. Scott, which
was formerly a portion of the Ken
more estate, the home of Betty Wash
ington Lewis, sister of George Wash
ington. It has been view by thous
ands of visitors during the course
of more than ^ century.
Congressman Davey has made a
preliminary examination of the tree
and stated that he would gladly un
dertake the work of ministering to
its ills at his own expense. The cost
of restoring the tree is estimated at
about $400.
The chief difference between the
middle class and the upper class is
that fewer things bore the middle
class.
Our hearts go out to the Philip
pines, and we Americans would be
glad to share our freedom with them
if w'e had any.

Learns Why Insects
Sleep Thru Winter
MOSCOW, Oct. 2. (/P)—The Rus
sian scientist M. Bachmetjew has de
termined that 'the temperature of in
sects increases in direct proportion
to their activity.
Butterflies, hec laims, furnishes
much valuable enlightenment on the
problem of the winter’s sleep of the
insect species. He found that when
butterflies were placed in a colder
atmospheric medium, their tempera
ture immediately began to drop and
continued on the downward scale
until a certain point was reached,
whereupon the temperature would
suddenly shoot up again nearly to
normal and then register slighter
drops. But this experiment was
only possible once. When tried a
second time, the butterfly invariably
died.
Bachmetjew caime to the conclu
sion that the secretions of butter
flies are cooled by a lower atmos
pheric temperature and even frozen
when the lowest point is reached.
The rise of temperature after this
freezing point he attributes to the
liberation of the ^animal heat during
the freezing process.
This ability of insects to support
a cooling down of their secretions,
without actually freezing, the scien
tist thinks is the secret of their be
ing able to sleep thru the winter.

Health Secondary to
Fashion In Shoes, Says
German Professor
BERLIN, Oct. 2. (£>)—'The pointed
toe and high heel have come to stay,
thinks Professor Gocht of the Or
thopaedic Institute of the Berlin Uni
versity. Asked for his opinion on
the influence of footwear on ques
tions of hygiene, Professor Gocht
said that just as most people will
continue to dririk, eat and smoke, in
fact do everything they know to be
injurious, so they will persist in fol
lowing the precepts of fashion in
the matter of shoes, contrary to all
sense of reasoning.
Not until health and feet have been
seriously damaged, he said, will hu
man nature finally resort to a more
sensible kind of footwear.
