STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April 21. On April 28' some 25,000 people or mi ore g-ather in the Stanford sladlum to see Stanford ano Cali fornia battle for track supremacy. It will be a gala event for Stan ford alumni who will be there from the four corners of the earth to celebrate tid annual alumni day; and Interest In the meet will be at a high pitch among students and nportlngr public. Incidentally, and rerhaps chiefly, the occasion will be interesting because It will wit ness thte dedication of the new Stanford track, the finest in the United States. Surrounding tho bright green of the studiuin field, under the sheltering mass of the stadlutn walls, the new oval is s great creation upon which much n.oney, thought and time haa been open-Jed. California, while perhaps weaker on the track than in other years, is a formidable contender, and the students at Berkeley are calling upon the men that Christie has in charge to d "nford's new track, even as the Bear football team dedicated the Stanford foot ball field with a win three years ago. In this hope they have all prece dent against them and the dope as well. If the dim shades of the distant past could talk they would tell of the Stanford-California meet In 1915. California in that year completed ,b- $86,000 track. and Stanford dedicated it by a vi tory in one of the closest and most thrilling contests ever held between the two universities. Stanford won by a score of 60 to 60, upsettting all the dope. Att several times during the mee: one side or the other was sure of winning, only to hav. victory wrested away by the unexpected efforts of their rival competitor. The relay was sup posed to decide the meet. Cali fornia prepared to serpentine when their runners won it by a few scant inches. However, Stanford gloom was turned to exultant Joy a few Beconds later when Rlc Tompleton, coach, leaped elx inches beyond his best previous mark and took third place In the broad jump. Siason of Stanford took first place In that event, and Stanford had another yoar of track supremacy. The 1924 meet may be as close as the 1916 contest. For the sake of competition and the pc lc in terest, every one hopes that it will be, but Stanford Is Just as confi dent that her men will come through 'In a pinch now as then. California men have also displayed an ability to do the unexpected, and that is why 25,000 people are going te be at hand at Stanford on the afternoon of April 26.

CHIPLBY, It was after a long, hot. dry Bummor and Just before all the treos In ttie forest were going to sleep for the winter when Old Fa thor Tree said to the Little Trees, Wo will have our bedtime story now ; and the Little Trees stopped their whispering to listen; for, just like little boys and girls, they loved story. "It was a long time ago," a aid the old tree, "long before you Little Trees had even begun to grow, that this mountain side was covered with big trees of spruce and pine and fir, which made a beautiful forest, homo for the birds and wild ani mals. They were happy trees and cften talked to each other of what they wore going to be when their llfo In the forest was over. Some of the Little Trees just wished they were grown up, so they could leave the forest and go out Into the world. "One day, as I listened, one Littlo Tree said, 'When I'm grown up, I'm going to be sawed Into logn and planks that will help to build houses for people to live In.' "Another one said, 'I shall be paxt of the church where people go to worship God.' "Another said, 'I'd rather be made Into desks and chairs for the Utile children In the big schoolrooms.' " 'Oht' said a Little Tree, who stood oft by himself, 'I think It would just be fine to be part of a ship and go sailing across the waters to strange lands.' "'Believe I'd rather be the rail road ties and have big trains run over me safely from one part of the country to another,' said one. "And one tiny Little Troe piped up and said, 'I'd just love to bs irade Into a littlo cradle and hold some tiny babe while he slept.' "And so the trees of the forest talked on of the things they would be when they were grown; and while they were waiting and grow ing tall and Btraight and strong, they made a, home for the animals and birds of the forest and a place where little children could uome, with their parents and teachers, for camping and picnics in the warm summer days. In tha win ter their branches caught the snow and held It, that the moisture might slowly sink Into the ground and run oflf Into little streams that, helped to water the valley below and make the soil rloh for the farmers' crops. "And the long years went by; but to the Little Trees they did not seem long, for were they not happy and were ihey no. growing strong, like little children, to take their places in tne wonaT Ana they thought and dreamed and talked of the time when they would be used In the n-aklng of louses and ships, and dtskn ,nd chairs, and many other things teat X can't tell you about now. Just then 'Old Fa 'er Tree stopped In his story, and the wind whistled through his branches ati'i sounded just like a long sigh, and the J. .'tie Trees said, "Oo on wlih the rest of the Btory, Father Tr.f And Father Troo wsnt on with the story, but the Little Trees could see that It made him ad. "One day, he said, "thero was a plcnlo in the woods laugnlng, shouting and playing and the trees of the forest laughed and shouted with the children though tha children did not hear them, and when evening came th,y all went away and the forest was dark and etlll; but In the night from somewhere there came a red flame of fire, a wind sprang up, blew the flames Into the branches of the trees, end the poor Little Trees were helpless. "All night and all day ths fires raged through the forest, and then the wind stopped blowing and the rain fell on a mountain black and ugly and bare, where only yoster day there had been a beautiful for est. Only a rew treos were left to tell you the story -of the Little Trees who wanted to live, who wanted te be built Into houses and hips and churches, and even Into toys for children and little cradles for the babies. 'We never know what started that fire. It may have been a cigar thrown Into the brush before it was put out, or a lighted matoh. perhaps tho camp fire was LADIES!

Old Father Tree stopped talking and seemed to be thinking of that time so long ago. "Oh," said the Little Troes, "We hope no big fire will evor burn us up." And the old tree answered, "The forest, are better cared for now. This Is a forest that belongs to the government, and Uncle 8am does everything he can to protect us. On high mountain peaks, in the summer time, when the danger of flro Is great, there Is always somo one watching over us, and little children all over the United Elates are taught what the forests mean to the world, and how careful they should always be with their fires. They are taught how tobulid a fire and how to put it out; so you need not be afraid.. Little Treos of the Forest, but go to sloep and grow up healthy, strong trees, for the children love you and need you." Then the soft winds touched the topmost branohes of the old tree and he nodded In the breezes. The Little Trees knew now why Old Father Tree was often Bad and why he had never grown tall and straight and strong. Then one by one they, too, fell asleep holding out their branches to catch the rain drops and the snow, and to dream of those other little trees who lived so lonff ago.
