Mutilate Trees in National Capital Washington citizens are up in arms over the mutilation of many beautiful trees in the national capital in order to make room for the double-decked busses to pass. According to press accounts of the incident, it appears that when these vehicles were adopted and it was found they were too high to pass under some of the older trees, the lower branches were cleared off in such a manner as not only to make the trees unsightly, but to inflict permanent injury as well. Commenting thereon, the New York Times says: "Washington's trees were among its most precious assets. Whoever has walked through the richly shaded avenues has had a new sense of the value of trees in city planning. 'Unfortunately, there is no redress for Washington's injury. Trees once mutilated cannot be restored. If they survive, they are ill-shapen and ugly, having lost their natural form. 'But the experience of Washington should be a warning to the country. In some cases it is impossible to avoid cutting down trees. But there have been instances recently—Senator Bingham took his own state to task last summer—when splendid specimens have been destroyed rather than remove the road a few feet to the right or left. Such shortsightedness cannot be compensated even by extensive new planting of trees, for what is destroyed in an hour or a day has taken a century to produce." What the Times has to say as to the value of trees and the evil results of doing them damage has a local application. Presbyterians to Meet In San Francisco Soon Delegates from all over the United States will gather in San Francisco the week of May 23 for the one hundred and thirty-ninth session of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church. Preceding the sessions, the synod of California will celebrate its seventy-fifth anniversary at the First Presbytery. What Gum Weld Cushion Means to India Tire User Distribution of road shocks over the maximum amount of carcass area with a minimum of destructive effect to the tire itself, is one of the major problems of all tire design and construction. Practically every tire manufacturer is using a square woven breaker of wide mesh as a means of distributing this road shock and binding the tread securely to the carcass of the tire. However, this type of breaker has several drawbacks in that it often has a tendency to crack and loosen the tread after a period of service, due to the carcass plies being of cord construction while the breaker is made of square woven fabric, thereby causing premature tire failures. India engineers worked on the theory that it would be far more practical not only to distribute but also to absorb the road shock by some other means than by a stiff square woven breaker. This led to considerable careful experimenting in compounding and the proper vulcanization of layers of cushion gum imbedded between the top piles and the tread and the last ply—as a substitute for the cotton breaker. After thoroughly testing out tires with the cushion gum construction on passenger cars, commercial trucks and buses, our laboratory placed this new development into factory production approximately three and half years ago. Changing the tire construction throughout the entire line—truck, high pressure, and balloon tires, so as to embrace the gum weld cushion—was far more costly from a labor and material standpoint than the old type of breaker. The gum weld cushion, however, is a positive tire improvement, found only in Indias and gives the India dealer a marked advantage over other dealers who do not have this feature in their tires and who, therefore, have no plus value to offer their customers. West Brothers, local India representative, have handled tires of different makes for several years, but they were never able to satisfy their customers as they wanted to, for if a tire proved defective what could they do? They could not make their own adjustments, so that necessitated sending them in to other mines rest is deserted or been homesteaded domain is used. That the state claim to these of square miles there is no doubt he fact that the ritories of land more for other states. The situation there in the federation where, even though be taxed, like for highway pigs has proven and reclamation but this form is apparently not applicable. Presbyterians to Meet In San Francisco Soon Delegates from all over the United States will gather in San Francisco the week of May 23 for the one hundred and thirty-ninth session of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church. Preceding the sessions, the synod of California will celebrate its seventy-fifth anniversary at the First Presbyterian church of Berkeley. The General Assembly will meet in the San Francisco civic auditorium. The official host to the commissioners of the General Assembly will be the Calvary church, which was founded in 1854. The entertainment program will include visits to the various Presbyterian institutions about the bay, including Trinity Center, the Chinese and Japanese churches, the Ming Quong Home, near Mills college, and the San Francisco Theological Seminary at San Anselmo. Choral singing will be a feature of the daily sessions, and many of the programs will be broadcast over the radio. Coincident with the announcement of plans for the national conference in San Francisco, the California synod reported a membership of 85,297 divided among 379 churches, 108 of which are in the Los Angeles Presbytery. The first public school in San Francisco was established by a Presbyterian minister, as well as the first public library, and the University of California was founded by a member of the California synod. The committee in charge of arrangements is endeavoring to secure the attendance of large delegations from the churches of California for the open meetings of the assembly. Paroled Man Facing Trial for Violation R. E. Dunning, who was recently convicted of floating worthless checks, but was given his liberty on probation, is once more facing trial, and will be given hearing tomorrow to determine whether his parole should be revoked. Dunning was given probation after he admitted floating worthless checks/according to Probation Officer L. A. Warren. Warren claims that three bogus checks, said to be the work of Dunning, have lately come to his attention. One, Warren said, is a case of forgery, while the other two are no-fund checks. If violation of the parole is proved, Dunning faces immediate transfer to San Quentin prison for a term of from one to 14 years. Warren stated.

If violation of the parole is proved, Dunning faces immediate transfer to San Quentin prison for a term of from one to 14 years. Warren stated. Interesting Facts About Our Navy The Scientific American, making a comparative study of naval strength, concludes that it is a good thing for the United States to build three new 10,000-ton cruisers merely as a matter of proportion—to balance a navy deficient in that class. It cannot mean entering a race of "competitive building," says this authority. There has been no competitive building since the war. The other powers, the editor finds, have strictly lived up to the terms of the Washington treaty and given us no cause for offense or alarm. If Great Britain and Japan have more cruisers relatively than we have, it is because they have preserved a proper balance of light and heavy warships, and merely built new cruisers to replace old ones, as they had a right to do. Our disparity began before the war, when our government persistently built battleships to the neglect of cruisers, and has continued since the war. The other powers are not over their cruiser ratio; we are under our radio. This publication also corrects a prevalent error regarding naval gun ranges. There is a general impression that British battleships out-range ours, because of superior gun elevation, and that the United States has been tricked into practical inferiority by British interference with the efforts to give our big guns greater elevation. The fact is, the Scientific American finds, that our five latest battleships greatly out-range the British battleships, and in a battle we would have the British at our mercy for half an hour before it could get into action. Which is reassuring but not important, because it is morally inconceivable that there should be any such battle. ANAHEIM GAZETTE and other mineral reservations. The rest is desert and mountains, for practically all of the agricultural land has been homesteaded. Much of the public domain is used for grazing purposes. That the states have a legitimate claim to these hundreds of thousands of square miles of unoccupied land there is no doubt. Congress, despite he fact that the nation owns vast territories of land in the west, does no more for the west than it does for other states. Even in federal road construction there is no more money spent in the federal-land states than elsewhere, even though this land can not be taxed, like the land in other states, for highway purposes. It is true congress has provided for large irrigation and reclamation projects in the west, but this form of federal development is apparently practically at an end. LEGION NOTES Applications for loans on adjusted compensation certificates held by World war veterans will be taken care of by the United States veterans' bureau, despite the failure of congress to appropriate funds for that purpose. Director Frank T. Hines of the bureau has notified State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the California American Legion. Loans on certificates, according to Fisk, would total about $5,000,000 a month, and the veterans' bureau will make ready that sum by taking $3,000,-000 from premiums of paid-in insurance and $2,000,000 from the sale of invested government securities. The policy of the government will be to discourage loans as much as possible, according to word from General Hines, who declares that the policy probably will be to refuse loans unless the veteran can show an actual need for the loan. More teeth will be placed in the present allen land act, and the one bar to successful prosecutions of Japanese, Hindus and other aliens ineligible to citizenship, according to a fight being waged at Sacramento by the California State Federation of Labor, the American Legion, the California Grange, the Native Sons of the Golden West and others. A bill already passed by the Assembly is now before the Senate, according to Keaton, Long Beach assemblyman and former state adjutant of the American Legion, the soldiers' and sailors' committee in the lower house of the legislature is the first important committee to complete its consideration of bills placed before it. The legislative program of the American Legion has received the approval of the committee and is now before the members of the legislature for ballot. Most of the measures deal with the detailed management of the state veteran's welfare board and with the $20,000,000 farm and home loan funds. For the first time in the history of veterans' organizations, a state has presented to the war heroes of a sister state a building to be used in the future as the home of the World war veterans' groups. California has presented to Darrell Dunkle post of the American Legion at Reno, Nevada, the building to be used as the California state building during the Nevada Transcontinental Highways Exposition to be held in June and July at Reno. As soon as the exposition is over, the building will be taken over by the Reno legionnalres for use as they see it. The structure cost $100,000 and was dedicated by Lieutenant-Governor Buron R. Pitts of California last Saturday. Pitts, a former state commander of the American Legion, dedicated the building in the presence of members both the Nevada and California legislatures.

A bill already passed by the Assembly is now before the Senate, according to Dr. John F. Slavich, state commander of the Legion. This measure will place the burden of proof of American citizenship on the suspected alien charged with violation of the act. Under the present law the burden of proving that the person is an alien of a race barred from purchasing or leasing land in California devolves on the prosecution. Plans are practically perfected by the California department of the American Legion for the three special trains which will carry legionnaires from the Golden State to New York on their way to the national convention in Paris, September next. The three trains, which will be known as the red, white and blue specials, will leave California over the Southern Pacific lines and will be carried over the Union Pacific, Chicago Rock Island, Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and Michigan Central railroads.
