There'i Life in a Broken Tree But It Fades Fast . Several months ago the tree had been cut down leaving a stub about six feet high that acted as an anchor post for a line fence- The gaunt stub was firmly anchored in the moist soil by a complicated system qf roots. It was solid and firm, and bark covered. For some time the stub went unnoticed it was just a post to those who passed that way. Spring came and the passer by noticed a strange thing. The stub was sprouting leaves and small twigs. From numer ous crevices in the bark tiny green shoots appeared at the end of a few weeks the stub ' was almost completely leafed out. All who passed that way marveled at the mystery of growth. All be lieved the tree had revived it self; that once again it would send out new limbs and even tually would again become a tree. However, such hopes are futile. The tree or what is left of the tree is dead, very dead but as yet the plant refuses to admit it. A Short Time Hence ' But in another few weeks or months, the young tender leaves and the delicate twigs will wither away and die- There is a scientific reason, of course, why apparently dead trees often stay alive and send out green leaves for a short time, even after the body of the tree has been com pletely destroyed; in many instances even when the roots have been cut away. A normal, healthy tree growing in its selected or im posed environment, i s con stantly manufacturing p la n t food, distributing nutrients to its tissues, bringing food ele ments to its leaves and bran ches. Many of these food ele ments are not used immediat ely, but are stored in the tis sues for future use. In every section of the tree in the limbs, roots and trunk, many of these elements lie impris oned. Food Remains When an accident occurs, such as happened to the tree that was severed from its body, to be retained as fence post, the contained food in the amputated stub has ac tivated the growth of new twigs and new .leaves, and what remains of the tree ap parently comes alive. The situation is like that of an amputated limb from an animal's body. The body that grew and nourished it does- n t know of its absence; It re fuses to recognize the fact the limb is no longer there. The nerve ends still register, and the message 'goes back to the brain.

' K i' Give Carling Black Label Beer your own personal taste test... it's the beer for people who like a fine brew. Light! Lively! Thirst-satisfying and good. That's why more and more people here are calling for America's fastest growing beer with' this cheerful call, "Mabel, Black Label." the foot Is still present, even though in actuality it has been severed from the parent body for a long time. In the case of the tree, what would be nerves, blood ves sels and tissues in a living animal, are tubes and chan nels through which the sap, the life blood of the tree, us ually flows. These little tubes are closed. Gone, too, is the main sec tion of the trunk, the limbs and the leaves, but contained in the tissues of the stub is enough nourishment to send forth a few new leaves. The bitter and desperate strug gle to live is there, too, but actually the tree is dead. Dead except for a spasmodic and momentary gesture which at best will last but a little while. Very soon the ampu tated body will sturve to death. Many Americans Stranded in Cuba Miami - IUPD - An American woman fleeing Fidel Castro's Cuba said here that "hun dreds" of Americans are stranded in Havana, unable to get clearance to leave or space on outgoing planes. "Nobody helps us," the refu gee said. "I don't know why the State Department doesn't do anything. I was two weeks trying to get out of there." The Castro newspaper Corn- bate reported in Havana Mon day that about 2,000 Roman Catholic churchmen-most of them. Spaniards-had applied for exit permits since Castro declared that foreign priests who don't like his revolution ary government would have i to get out of the country.
