Fortune To Save Trees

The Stanford scientists could not
tell the source of the blight. and then
the surgeons from the east were call
ed in, among them G.. H. Bishop, WHO
was trained at the Yale School Of
Forestry. The only thing that has
served to help the trees has been to
remove the fungus when found, and
plug the holes made by the borers
with cement. In some instances as
high as $500 has been spent to save a
single tree, and the total expense will
run high into the thousands
One theory is that the germ of the
fungus has been brought in from
Asia, from which many trees have
been imported to beautify the grounds
Of wealthy men. 1t is probable that
Investigators will be sent to Japan
and China in an effort to trace the dis
ease.
Pine fore1ts throughout the north
west Pacific coast are also being de-
vastated species Of beetle lays its
eggs in the bark of the tree. From
them come grubs that grow inside the
bark and feed on the tree until they
are developed, when they bore out and
become beetles which fly away to de-
stroy other trees. Hundreds of in.
feeted pines have been cut down and
state and government authorities are
cooperating with lumbermen in an ef
fort to wipe out the pest.

Boys Bat Revenge On Girl Teachers

Ross Crenshaw, pitcher for the

just as hard as ever he could. The

Sorority Girls Read Their Bibles

DETROIT. Mich.-Sorority girls have
~ taken to reading their Bibles. The
sixth verse of Solomon's eighth song is
that part of the Holy Scripture. hold
ing for them the greatest meaning.
"Set me as a seal upon thine heart,
as a seal upon thine arm. for love is
as strong as death; jealousy is cruel
as the grave; the Goals thereof are
Goals of fire, which hath a most vehe-
ment fame"
That's the verse fraught with dou-
BILE meaning for each sorority coed
who would peer into the future, and
fine the name Of her husband to be.
How do they do It?
Listen.
First you get a small Bible. Then
you get a door key and one-half yard
Of red twine. You open the Bible at
the eighth chapter Of Solomon's songs
and lay the key within the Bible SO
that the round part Of the key comes
out over the side Of the Holy book,
and the other end just touches the
word heart" Then you close the book
and wrap it with the red twine Then
two girls support the book suspended
by placing the tip Of the third finger
of the left hand under the round part
Of the key, never touching the book. A
third person repeats the alphabet, A,
3, C. and so on, and the key twists the
Bible around whenever the letter is
reached which spells the name of the
husband who is to be-" The while
one must be repeating the verse quot
ed above.

for the Initiative and Referendum
That is to say the shortcomings Of
American Legislators, their lack Of ca.
pacity and occasional lack of honesty
are responsible for much of the agita.
tion for the Initiative and Referen
DUN.
In rebuttal 1t is said that the rep
resentative form of government is
more desirable than direct legislation
and that the proper remedy is for the
people to take greater care in choos
ing legislators. This is more easily
said than done. Our most representa-
tive men refuse to accept places upon
the ticket or to go to the legislature.
1t is urged against the Initiative and
Referendum that the people are not
competent to vote upon laws. This
however, is really the best argument
for the Initiative and Referendum as
the practice of voting directly upon
laws will be Of great educational
value. Those who are not will become
competent.
We should not be satisfied to have
the people like little children who
need to be taken care Of by the poll
ticians. Our aim should be to de.
velop a sturdy, intelligent and public
spirited citizenship of men and women
amply able to take care of them.
selves. The l. and R. is r powerful
means to this end.
1t is said that the people are nc
more honest than their representa-
tives, and that they should vote, If not
dishonesty, either from whim or pas
sion, and that the only safety is in q
government filtered through the courts
and legislatures. This stock argument
pushed to its logical conclusion is
justification for monarchy and abso
lutism against every type of truly rep
or popular government.
The unmistakeable lesson of history
however, is that kings, princes and
bosses take care of themselves better
than they take care of the people.
Even the violent protests of the mob
are rare in history and come only
when provoked by injustice-injusticG
that is usually borne with amazing pa
tience, for the people have always
been slow to anger. Certainly in this
day it is plain that what threatens
our republic is not the danger of mob
violence or of popular passion. The
great menace Is in the cunning and
scheming of the few who plot and plan
to use the powers of government foi
their own private profit, and who ex
ploit the very people of whom they
speak in contempt as a mob that is
not to be trusted.
