A press statement handed out at
the doors consisted of suggestions by
Miss Hermine Schwed Of the National
Association for Constitutional Gov
eminent, on chow to detect socialist
propaganda, and those engaged in it,
who in order to make progress must
resort to deception"
These disguised socialists, it APP
peared, included advocates of indus
trial democracy, democratic control,
prouction for service, public owner
ship, freedom Of speech, peace by way
of disarmament, and prison reform
tending to undermine discipline, au-
thority and punishment for crime.
Also certain occult spiritist and fad
movements. on the order of psychic
analysis, many of which are influ-
enced by the radiacls."
Don't Dare Laugh.
Detectors are assured by this docu-
ment that red socialism is all the core
of all who criticize the supreme court
and the electoral college, or who "try
to ridicule those who believe in the
old standards, by pasting on them
labels like 'reactionary,' 'imperialistie,
'Chauvinistic, 'eapitalistic' and the
like, because the New Republic and
the Nation set the fashion"

the blooming of the yucca the
Pronuba moth breaks out of her
cocoon.

OF the yucca. The pollen Is too
thick to be carried by the wind,
but this does not matter, says
Nature Magazine. The Pronuba
moth gathers it from the tiny an.

and flies with it to the pistil of

Then she climbs to the stigma
and places the ball of pollen in

tween its lobes. This process is
repeated number of times, u.s.
