PROCESS PROLONGS YULE TREES' LIFE Treatment Also Serves as Safety Measure, Says Forestry Bulletin. ing effect of their multitudinous lights, the original greenness of the 15,000,000 Christmas trees to adorn American homes this year can be greatly pro- longed by artificial means, much as cut flowers are prevented from wilting too soon, says a bulletin released today by the American Forestry Association. The base of the tree should be im« mersed in water, the bulletin says, either by use of a pan of’ bucket, or by purchasing one of the many new de- vices now on the market. Serves Safety Need. This treatment, aside from thé deco- rative advantage of preserving the greenness of the trees, will also serve a safety need in maintaining a high moisture content against possible com- bustion from the lights and wiring. It was pointed out that many of the trees will reach the home after having been cut at least two weeks. Much of the original freshness can be restored | by this care, the bulletin says. The fact that most of the trees will be set up in rooms heated by steam to a temperature of from 65 to 80 degrees is additional reason for treating them with water. Process Outlined. The trees should first be sawed off several inches from the base, then | scraped across the cut to remove bits of compressed wood which might stop i the capillary action of the cells.' The tree treated so will absorb water in surprising amounts. As an extra pre- caution, the American Forestry Asso- ciation suggests that about one-quarter of a pound of sugar be dissolved in the water, adding to the solution from time to time to further nourish the ‘The water about the base should be kept at a depth of from 3 to 6 inches. VARIETY IS SOUGHT BY HOLIDAY THIEVES Loot Reported Taken Includes Gems, Musical Instruments, Chickens and Money. ‘Wearing apparel, jewelry, money, chickens and musical instruments were listed in reports of thefts made to the police yesterday. Clothing thefts were reported by J. R. Pieri, 215 K street northeast; Henry Griffin, 1827 Ninth street, and Raymona H. Murray, 925 Rhode Island avenue. Overcoats belong- ing to Murray and Pieri were stolen from theaters, while Griffin reported the theft of a suit of clothes from his room. James H. Harris, 2100 N street, lost a banjo. He told police the instrument, which he valued at $100, was taken from the Mayflower Hotel. Jumes Marsh, 1818 Seventh street, reporte the loss of jewelry valued at $25 snd a silver musical instrument worth $40 from his home. i A shabbily dressed colored boy about 14 years old snatched a pocketbook containing $20 from Ada Johnson, 2244 S street, about 10:15 o'clock last night. The theft took place near Eighteenth and S streets. Annie Gold- berg, 2032 Tweith street, told -of the taking of chickens from the rear yard at_her home last night.
