When You Buy Skis Remember

/. To secure the best results,
select skis that are made right. y
! poor ski is sometimes worse than no
ski at all.
2. Use substantial bindings. Strap
the ski tight on your foot, so that
you may master the ski and the ski
not master you. 1t will save much
annoyance and lessen the chances of
getting tined.
YOU can touch the tip with your
fingers it is the right length, and will
serve YOU better than skis either too
lCng or too short.
4. IMPORTANT-alwa examine
your bindings before going on a
tramp. to satisfy yourself they will
hold out. Il may save you mucn
trouble. Always carry an emergency
strap in Your pocket.
5. DO not think. be sure, that
Your feet are dressed warm enough.
Cold feet on skis are decidedly
chilly affair and one is better off not
to practise it.

Sea Anemones Can Sting When
Attacked

At the first glance the sea anem-
; ones are more fiOwer-like than ami
mallike. These delicate, richly col
ored organisms with their numerous
tentacles have received names derived
from flowers; sea anemOnes,, passion
flower anemones, crimson anemones,
etc, are names which characterize
their outer appearance correctly for
they change the naked rocks of the
shore to floral beds. But the life of
/ these animals is in no way flower
j like. They are very voracious, catch
young fish. worms, craylish, snails.
tc.,which are often much larger than
themselves. They have peculiar pro-
+ tective ability in their tentacles which
also able to daze their prey.
These are singing organs. tiny.
miscroscopical, bottle shaped glands
filled with burning alkaline fluid.
When touched, hollow coled threads
suddenly project dart toward the
touching object with their tiny hooks,
and press out the fluid of the capsule,
which thea enters the wound. Such
singing glands are very numerous
on each tentacle; in fact thousands
being located in one.
Sea anemones which have congre-
gated in groups and live in colonies
: ana nave eXCreteQ a. InOTe OF less
hard skeleton, whose branches have
become calcareous, are corals. Every
coral branch or colony had its begin
ring in one individual which hap
pened to attach itself to that partic-
ular place and grew up in the shape
of a tiny sea anemonc.
Upon the under surface of the
cylindrical body the animal secretes
: calcareouS plates which Join it init
mately to it's support. Then the cal
careous plates grow upward radially
and the outer side of the animal is
bounded by skeleton of lime which
grows higher and higher, drawing
the polyp before it.
Thus it happens that at . the
branches of coral colony often
thousands of animals continue to
build upward. while the lower animals
have long since died. In this way
these delicate little animals build
mighty reefs and many tropical
islands are built by unceasing and
untiring work.-Nature's Magazine.

years. a policeman and two news
papermen, were in the house. with
the doors locked. Outside a half

After occasional brief silences the

her children within sight of her

She sat and waited.
Tonight's predicted millennium was

discussed at the meeting.
Gen. DeHardt later orderer Geralds
to keep entirely away from the cave.
He did this. it was understood, be-
cause Geralds was criticizing the re-

reenter the main passage Of the cave.
No action was taken in the case of
Homer Collins, who was said to be in

SAVING the Roadside Flowers

The depredations CT autoists who
deSpoil the roadSideS of wild flowers
has in many places reached the
stage where many of our native
American species are threatened
with extinction. The bittersweet is
a case i'll point. What florists
stores are leaving untouched auto
lists are gathering in, until it is only
a matter of time until it must diSap-
pear entirely unless our people be-
Gene educated to the point where a
flower on the bush is worth two in
q vase. The butterfly weed, one of
the most gorgeous of our plants,
what with the great blaze of orange
which it flaunts to the early autumn
landscape, j. another example of a
native flower being sacrificed, not
only to commerce and the selfish
ness of tourists who, discovering the
countryside by medium of the auto
mobile. are not Vet in tune with the
spirit of the outdoors. The dog
wood is another. Dozens of other
plants, more rare and even more
beautiful, are saved only by their
inaccessibility in swamps and the
jealous guardianship of flower lovers
who refuse to divulge their where
abouts.
1t is no mawkish sentimentality
that moves flower lovers who pro-
test against this ruthless destruction
OF our native plant life. They object
to the picking of flowers, just as
they object to filling fence corners
and tanglewood growths with paper
napkins. plates and other refuse
from the roadside lunch, that liter
ally strangle small plant nle-put,
their objection is based on the same
patriotic motives that moves the
sportsm2n who wants to see our
wild animals and birds preserved.
They are true outdoormen, who con-
ceive of our American heritage as
embracing something more than
mere acres. as also including birds
and animals and flowers and skies.
