Here's How the
Coral Islands,
Formed in Sea

At the first glance the sea AMEN
ones are more flowerlike than sanI-
mal-like. These delicate, richlyscol-
ored .organisms with their numerous
temtacles have received names .deriv-
ed from Flowers: sea anemoncs, pas
sion flower anemOnes, crimson anem-
ones, etc, are names which charge
-telizc their outer appearance tcor+
rectly, for they change the naked
rocks of the shore to floral beds.
But, says Nature Magazine of Wash
ington, the life of these animals is
in no way. flower.like. They are
very voracious, catch young fish,
worms, crayfish, snails, etc, which
are often much larger than them
selves. They have peculiar protec-
tive ability in their tentacles, which
also serve to daze their prey.
These are stinging organs, tiny,
microscoPical, bottle-shaped glands
filled with burning alkaline fluid.
When touched, hollow coiled threads
suddenly project, dart towardf the
touching object with their tiny
hooks, and press out the fluid OK the
capsule, which then enters the
wound.
Sea anemones which have cohgre-
gated in groups, and live in col9nies
and have excreted more orslcss
hard skeleton, whose branches baYe
become calcareous, are corals. EN-
cry coral branch or colony had its
beginning in one individual which
happened to attach itself to that
particular place and grew up iI the
shape of tiny sea anemones.

Won1en's Interests
HERE ARE RULES
ABOUT THE CARE
OF BREAD, CAKES

Bread, cake pies, cookies and
other baked goods, after they are
taktm from the oven, should be
cooled rapidly in place free from
dust and insects and then stored in
4 well-scalded tin box J other
suitable receptacle. Wrapping hot
bread in cloth tends to iniurc
the flavor and spoils the crisp
crust. Bread offers ideal conditions
FOR the growth of molds; therefore.
the bread box should be scalaed and
aired at least once week. and
should not be shut up alright, es-
peciallv in hot, humid weather.
when il is filled with fresh bread.
The waxed paper wrappers in
Which many bakers are now mar
keting their bread are intended nc.
10 keep il moist, but to protect ii
against flies, dust and other sources
Of contamination during handling
and delivery, so that it will reach
the consumer as clean as when ii
left the oven. Therefore, as the
United States Department of Agri
culture points out, putting bread
in these soiled paper wrappers into
practice.
Baked goods. and, in fact, all
cereal products, have remarkable
capacity for absorbing and giving
moisture. For instance, if moist
bread or cake and dry crackers or
cookies are stored in the same con
tainer, the moisture win tend to
pass the drier kind. Crackers and
crisp cookies are best kept III sep
arate tight boxes or jars TO prevent
their absorbing moisture from the
air or any damp material near them

BABSON PARK, August 42T
Several times glrn'ipga the. last few
Iweeks Boger WI HaHson has been
questioned regarding ~ possible
effect of the election on general
business conditions. Mr.. Babson
has continually stated that when
all three parties had made up their
tickets be would make la statement.
His analysis of the situation was
made public today.
During the past week 1 have
talked with leading men in each of
the two great parties,' saiy the
statistician. 81 asked the same
question of both the sRepublie i7and
Democratic leaders, namely, What
are your chances sfors aeleefitn29
They both replied, HWesaTe sdfd 5f
victory in Norember, provided In
Toilette does mot 4seenre enough
states to throw the election, into,
congress. Furthermore, la Eollet-
tie s votes are dependent upon the
price of wheat .on election day
This may be an exaggerated state
ment but for the I first 'tiipd in
American History it is to the ad-
vantage of both great parties to
have good business between now
and the election. ,.- ,-........
"In certain states like New York
there must he, a straight andalAls
cut fight between Coolidge" and
Davis. Neither will give any
thought to La Toilette and La Fol
lette viii not bother to spend any
time in New York. In. the great
central western, states, however, in.
stead of directing their fight against
one another Coolidge and Davis
will in a way combine against La
Toilette. Therefore two different
campaign policies will be waged
simultaneously in different sections
of the country. In New England
and the eastern Industrial STATES the
Republicans may not object to hav-
ing business quiet down between
now and election. Moreover, they
must use the argument that a De-
mOcratie election means a .lowering
Iof the tariff and the closing down
Of our. industrial plants in order to
raise funds. In the fcentraB west,
however, neither the Republican or
Democratic parties can talk gloom
because there is enough gloom there
already.
Bad Times BAD for Roth
Heretofore" says Mr.. Babson,
'Fit has been thought advisable by
the Democrats TO have had bust
ness on election day when the Re
pubiicans are in power, and vice
versa. This year bread lines would
hurt the Democrats as much as the
Republicans. When "a bank is clos
ed in the central west votes are
made for La Toilette. Every cent
Eiat the price of wheat drops be.
tween now and election day may
easily give La Toilette 100000
votes, and every cent that the price
of wheat goes up between now and
election may result in giving the
Republicans and Democrats $4,000
more votes each.
"Although the leaders of both
parties tend TO belittle La Fol
lotte and refer to his age and ply
steal infirmities, yet it must be re-
membered that he is Il very astute
politician. This shown by the fact
that his ticket is being made up
equally by Democrats and Repub-
Iicans. Moreover, La Toilette is

 Upper floors of the building, cost ing approximately $50,O00. have been leased for operation as a hotel. accord ing to an announcement by Jack Me David, rental agent. The lower story, besides the hotel lobby, will include six stores. Three of these have already been rented to sea food establishment, a tire accessory shop and drug store.

Birmingham, according to close ob- servers of the situation, is soon to be launched on genuine building boom" The city has suffered from the lack of office and hotel space, a condition which has hampered it no little in it's progress. But from the trend of move ments just below the surface it ap- parently seems that this will not exist much longer.
 Promoters state that details on at least three new buildings of unusual size are now in the process of comple- tion. These projects are placed almost on the ground of certainties and it is expected that before many weeks have elapsed some concrete announcements will be forthcoming.
 This building era is considered an ultimate development by business men because no structure of any magnitude has been erected here within the last ten years while at the same time in-
