Muii aud munitions tan he brought into hallo action very rapidly with motor ears If networks of good roads are available Hut off tin; paved highways, there are woods, hills, streams, ravines and swamps to oppose the progress of motor vehicles. And then the hoist! comes In mighty handy! The airplane, of course, has greatly expanded the range and Increased the speed of scouting troop movements. Yet when visibility is had the cavalry cotnes to the rescue. Said General von Seeckt, late commander-in-chief of the German army: "The avaltor has come to aid?not to replace?the cavalryman, ("lose reconnaissance Is left to the cavalryman whoso vision la not dimmed by clouded skies " The Spanish General Oonuterio's cavalry has been highly efficient not only as a scouting force hut also In attacking It has often broken through tlie La?> alist flanks and has prevented retreating units from reforming their 1 ines Japanese officers now arc lamenting the hi<k of adequate cavalry for effective flanking movements and quick fellow tips of drives against the C.hl,t. s.

Hov1'iiiI thousand pounds of plow seed will ho needed for this purpose during the routing v ear, for the production of nursery seedlings or for direct sow log In the Hold Because local seed is preferable for I r?u est planting. Mr Brewster points out that farmers In different parts of the state have an opportunity to sell pine cones and pine seed as a cash crop to public and private nurseries ami to landowners who are interested in reforestation | The main problem In pine seed collection. says Mr Brrwster, Is to make sure the seeds art) ripe before the cones ar?- picked. The cones or burrs I should not be collected until their 'green color Is mottled with brown and until the cones will float In water, j I'ine cones require two years on the tree for development and do not mature until the fall of the second season, according to Mr Brewster Cones of the slash or cuban pine, native In the southeastern part of the state, are usually ready to pick early In September Isiblolly pine cones mature In the last half of September and first week In October. Ixmgleaf and shortleaf pine cones are ordinarily muturo and can be picked during the first three weeks In October. Kxtension Forester Brewster states that full Information on the collection and extraction of pine seed Is contained In Leaflet No. 156, "Harvesting and Selling Seed of Souther!)

TO MAKE SHRINE OF BATTLESHIP OREGON < Ranks With Old Ironsides in Naval History. Portland, Ore.?The battleship Oregon commission is launching u campaign to finally provide a fitting resting place for the famous old battie wagon that figured so prominently in the Spanish American war. The fate of the decommissioned battleship, which was given by the federal government to. the state of (>regon in 1923 and saved from the scrapping provisions of the limitations of arms conference, has been referred to the children of Oregon. The pennies of school children will be used to move the vessel from present temporary quarters to Portland city property bordering the Willamette river, and the site will he converted into a marine park. A fund of approximately $50,000 will be needed, the commission estimated. To lie Penny Fund. The Oregon ranks with Old Ironsides iq United Stales naval history and the same method of penny contributions will be used to perpetuate it as a patriotic shrine. An act of congress passed June 30, 1890, gave authority to build the battleship, and the Union Iron Works at San Francisco built the vessel at a cost of $0,280,000. Henry L. Howison was the first commander. The Oregon's fame came when it sailed under secret orders in 1898. Around the Horn the battleship sailed, and 14,000 miles out of San Francisco it nosed into Havana harbor, cheered by men aboard other vessels in the warn-torn port. The battle was fought July 4, when the Maria Theresa, Oquendo, Viscaya and the Colon of the Spanish fleet were engaged and beaten. Legislature Votes Praise. The measure adopted by the Oregon legislature in accepting the ship said: "The gallant performance of the whole ship and the valiant deeds of the heroic crew that have manned her are forever enshrined in the hearts of the people." Moving the Oregon will be no less job than moving a 14-story office building with a 40-foot frontage. It weighs more than 20,00,0,000 pounds, is nearly as long as one and onehalf Portland city blocks (351 feet 2 inches), is 09 feet, 3 inches wide, carries four 13-inch guns, eight 8inch guns, twelve 3-inch guns and four 6-pounders. Co-operation of Spanish-American war veterans and other patriotic and civic organizations will be sought, and medallions struck from brass and copper of the Oregon may be distributed. Night Habits of Snakes Now Interests Science Berkeley, Calif.?Whether snakes have insomnia or just what they do at night is one of the tasks which the zoological department of the University of California has set itself to solve next summer. A party of university scientists, headed by Dr. Walter Mosauer, inteuiationally-known herpetologist, ; will spend the next three months in tropical Guerrero, near Acapulco, investigating all reptilian and amphibian creatures they may happen to meet. Their work will be done largely at nigh'., and for this purpose they will wear powerful lights carried on the forehead after the fashion of min- | ers' lamps. The reflection of these in the eyes of the animals and rep, tiles is expected to betray their hiding places to the scientists and demonstrate whether they are laying , awake nights or sleeping. The party of scientists will explore mangrove swamps, lagoons and mountain jungles of the region they are to visit. Photographs and colored motion pictures will be made of the reptiles. The party also expects to bring back aliv^as many of the snakes, crocodiles and other reptiles as they can capture for further observation under laboratory conditions. i Cities Lead in Larceny, Crime Survey Indicates Washington.?Major crimes, such as homicide and aggravated assault, Show a considerably higher percentage in rural communities than in urban centers, the federal bureau of investigation quarterly crime reports point out.
