LONGEVITY KEY
TO GIANT TREE
'Post Mortem' Called Over
. Storm-Felled Sequoia in
'California National Park
' Br Robert Fahs
- UP Staff Correspondent
' Sequoia National Park, Cal.
U.K When the mow hai melt
ed early this lummer from the
7.000-foot level of Sequoia na
tional park, botanists and natur
alists will try to determine what
caused the death of one of the
oldest living things.
' The experts will come here
to Inspect a fallen giant Sequoia
tree which crashed during a
storm in February.
, An effort will be made to de
termine the age of the tree.
The tree, a majestic Sequoia
Glgantea, was 275 feet high and
27 feet In diameter at the base.
The tree stood in the Giant For
est near winter headquarters of
Sequoia park, but it was not
pamed.
Growing Area Confined
- Botanists, naturalists and tree
experts generally are anxious to
learn more about the Sequoia
Gigantea, which la found only
In a limited area of the Sierra
Nevada mountains.
- The falling of one of the ma
jestic trees, which a U. S. fores
try department survey showed
was the most popular tree In
America and therefore made the
Sequoia the official tree of the
United States, Is considered
highly unusual and much Inter
est is attached to the "post mor
tems". . In the past several years, a
few Sequoias have fallen not
mora than a dozen and none as
large as the one that crashed
last winter but until a few
years ago none of the trees had
been known to fall over a long
period of time.
Oldest Living Things
Sequoias are the oldest living
things on earth and are estimat
ed to be 5,000 years old, having
started to grow hundreds 'of
years before Christ was born.
' Sequoias are extremely dif
ficult to kill since they resist
fire and are not known to be
affected by Insect pests. The
Wood, consequently, lasts almost
indefinitely, even after a tree
has fallen, and the trunks of
giants that fell centuries ago
till may be seen.
The tree that fell this winter
smashed the summer cabin of
E. T. Scoycn, superintendent of
Sequoia park.
After the snow has melted
and the debris has been cleaned
up, the tree experts will Inspect
the fallen giant in an effort to
add new facts to the lore of the
world's oldest living things.

OXYGEN STUDY
TO AID PILOTS
Belleville, Til. (U.B The ef
fects of anoxia, or shortage of
oxygen, on aviators who con
sistently fly at high altitudes
may be cumulative, according to
Lleut.-Col. Eugene G. Reinartz,
air corps surgeon of Scott field
Col. Reinartz said here that
recent experiments with an!
mals have shown that "repeated
periods of anoxia may produce
a picture of considerable dam
age to the brain."
Ha said that pilots have ob
served that sustained flight at
high altitudes appears to short
en the periods during which
they are able to preserve their
faculties without a full supply
of oxygen.
Steadily Increasing speeds of
war planes and the heights at
which modern high-speed man
euvering Is carried, said Col.
Reinartz, place an even greater
strain on pilots.
New methods of administer
ing oxygen at great altitudes,
plus specialized physical exam
inations are doing much to elim
inate permanent danger to mili
tary pilots, he said.
Madison, Wis. flJ.PJ Amer
icas defense program must In
clude a nationally recognized
apprenticeship system similar to
the one established In Germany
after the World war, George P.
Hambrecht, director of voca
tional and adult education in
Wisconsin, believes.
To Insure future skilled
craftsmen for defense, we must
give our youth opportunity to
become skilled craftsmen with
in defense industries," he said.
"This may be accomplished by
requiring all defense industries
to maintain an apprenticeship
system as a condition of pro
duction." Three years after the World
war, Hambrecht traveled in
Europe, Inspecting Germany's
system of training skilled work
men mechanics, technicians,
watchmakers, lensmakers and
machinists. He was convinced
that America, too, could train
its own men and upon his re
turn started Wisconsin on the
way to national leadership In
vocational training.
Germany's training system In
cluded not only schooling, but
actual apprenticeship experi
ence. "Experience has shown," Ham
brecht said, "that the only real
way of guaranteeing our youth
that they may become expert
ana skilled In the trade of their
choice is through a well-organ
lzed apprenticeship system."

DuPont Prepared Paint forms a

all paints, it collects dirt on exposure
