should care how far Kelley goes in
printing the truth, for he doesn't own
a department store and his big inter
ests are outside the loop. That may
account for the comparative freedom
with which the loop newspapers
printed the news during the O'Hara
investigation, when julius Rosen-
wald, as head of Sears-ROebuck, was
advertised as an employe who paid
starvation wages.
Rosenwald is a very rich man. He
makes more money than he knows
what to do with; and like many other
rich men contributes literally to the
United Charities and other alleged
philanthrophies, as an agreeable
manner of getting rid of his money
with doing much real philanthropic
work himself.
If Rosenwald alone were backing
Kelley, can see where he might tell
Kelley to go as far as he likes.
Billings, however, has made his
millions out Of public utilities. I
don't know what stock and bonds he

may be interested in exploiting the
people. But even if he has made his

for advertising patronage that

for business, and only incidentally for

UNCLE SAM STUDYING
PLANT LIFE OF Desert
Smithsonian Institution Has Collection
of Cactuses Most Valuable
in World.
WATCHED THROUGH PHOTOS

The Smithsonian Institution some year.
ago undertook the collection of cactuses
The problem of caring for the living
specimens while under observation wa.
solved through the cooperation of the
Department of Agriculture, which as.
signed special greenhouse No. Z. at Four
teenth and streets northwest, for
housing them. Today a veritable desert
fiourishes in 1t. filed with all kinds OF
strange desert plants, espe sally cactuses
from North and South America, of which
there are perhaps in the neighborhood OF
5000 specimens.
While the collection is brought to-
gether mainly for study purposes, it has
much to attract the ordinary visitor who
desires to see the strange and grotesque
In plant life. No such collection in Eu-
rope has so many unique and rare species.
In order to show how rich the collection
Is. II may be said that 1t contains about
twenty-five species of the night-bloom-
ing Cereus, several plants of the So
called bishops cap. some striking speci-
mems OF Turks head cactus. and all kinds
OF prtckly pears, and a large plant OF
Burbank's famous so-called spineless
cactus.
Some Of these cactuses are kinds hav-
ing great economic Importance Much has
oeen written In recent years regarding
the forage possibilities of the prickly
pear. but their greatest value lies in the
delicious and abundant fruit produced BY
many varieties.
The National Museum secured cactus
specimens from this collection for its
herbarium. and the plants which die are
also labeled and preserved Mr.. Smillie,
Photographer of the museum, makes
photographs of the Towering plants when
any special features are to be noted, and
In this connection, has secured many
