PLANT OR ANIMAL?

The distinctions between plant and
animal organisms are supposed to be
clearly defined and easily recogntza-
bic. Yet tiny creature is now 2uz-
cling scientists. which possesses the
leading characteristics of both. 1t is
known az Volox globatqr. Some
claim it is neither plant or an ami
mai Others claim it is botha con-
dition which sounds truly Impossible.
The strange little being lives in
fresh water, assembled in globe-like
clusters OF colonies. Each individu-
al organism has vibratory ella or
fiagella which enable the colony
composed of several thousand to
move as one body.
i Reproduction is both sexual, as IN
anifals, and sexual as in cryptoga-
nous plants. so volox globator is
claimed by both the botanist and the
zoologist tbs a microscopic organ
ism of no known value or use. but
these facts do not detract from its
interest to the scientist.

Timber SAFETY Jeopardized.

The safety of millions of dollars
worth of the nations timber supply
has been jeopaEdized by Democratic
neglect.
An authorized appropriation OF
three million dollars for preventing
forest fires and kindred purposes,
provided for In WHAT is known as the
Weeks law" was allowed to lapse
because of the careless failure of the
last Democratic Congress to carry
out the mandate of former law.
The Weeks law was enacted to en-
able the federal government to CO.
operate with the states to secure pro-
lection from forest fires. 1t author
lied appropriations up to eleven nil
lions to carry its purpose. Into enecs-
Based upon carefully drawn plans. It

the head waters of navigable streams
to aid navigation and the regulation
of stream flow. and thereby promote
forest protection.

"a forest says the forestry report
on the plan of the Weeks law. his
causes rapid run-off on steep slopes
end erosion results. The soil thus
washed out Is the chief source Of
sediment in the channels Of navtg-
able streams. Forest fires, therefore,
cause irregularity of stream flow and
loss of nayigability. This calls for
active assistance from the federal
government, and section two of the
Weeks law is designed to authorize
this assistance"
The necessity for forest fire pro
lection is shown by the official re-
ports of the vast destruction such
fires cause.
AN average of 100000 acres
is burned over annually in the United
States, with money loss of about
$780, says the Forestry Bu-
reau report The danger threatens

wood forests of the South, the CHIEF
damage is the repeated killing OF
young growth. This is severe, be-
cause the young growth has very
great future value. and upon it de-
ponds the permanency of the lumber
industry In the region"
The attention of Democratic mem
Bers of Congress was repeatedly
called to the necessity Of giving for
NAL approval to the law formerly en-
acted and that without that approval
the appropriation would lapse and be
no longer available for forest fire
protection. In spite of this warning.
however, the Democrats neglected to
include the necessary provision in
the law this year.
The result is that during the next
fall and winter, when the danger
from forest fires is at the maximum.
the protection that would have been
afforded under the Weeks law will
either be lost or must be provided for
in some other way.
