D ACK in the "Gay Nineties," when ID bicycling reached it's greatest
 height as the most popular sport of the period, comic artists of those days often pictured reckless drivers and their two-wheeled mounts up a tree" No one at that time, of course, ever even dreamed that such thing as a tree-cimbing bicycle would be a reality, yet here it is, as you can see by the accompanying illustration.
 This amazing vehicle is the invention of a mechanical genius by the name of Kutt, who lives in Frankfort, Germany. His device is operated by the aid of a caterpillar mechanism which the rider propels by means of two hand levers. According to the inventor, the use of this climbing device will not iniure the bark of tree.

 Medical science, alert to the possi- bilities which may turk in the most commonplace phases of plant and animal life, is hot on the trail of an amazing discovery in the beehive.
 The task that confronts the scientists is to discover the elemental content of royal jelly, that predigested semi-liquid upon which queen bees are nurtured to maturity, and which, apparently, pro- duces life span six to eight times greater than that of the ordinary honey-maker.
 Another step will be to discover if royal jelly, so potent as bee food, is capable of similar chemical reaction upon the human body. If so, a third task will be to discover a means of manufacturing synthetic royal jelly in volume sufficient to meet the vast de-

forthwith sent his paper a story.
The following day some 30 per-
sons, more than had visited the
grave in the preceding year, ap-
peared at the cemetery to pray.

BY MAX SALZMAN.

The enlightenment campaign has
very effectively helped to win the
support of the membership for the
line of the Communist International.
Most of the material however has
dealt with the pointing out by COM
rades of the mistakes which their
/ former groups have made, and in ex-
posing the opposition to the latest
letter to our Party. Not enough at
tention has been given to the ex-
PLANTATION of the Party tasks, with an
explanation of the letter particularly
in regard to the theory of excep-
tionalism, in relation to the role and
position of American Imperialism,
the question of rehabilitation, etc.
! The shortcomings in our Party
must be dealt with in the light of
the Open Letter. want to deal
with few of them here.
Firstly, there is still a weakness in
our participation in mass struggles.
Take Elizabethton for example. Here
comrades actively participated in
the struggle only after the betrayal
had been put over by the United
Textile Workers. When it became
necessary for comrades in Elizabeth
ton to go to Gastonia in view of the
developments there, this was not fol-
lowed up with the sending of Other
comrades to carry on the work.
Secondly, among a number of rank
and file comrades still exists under
estimation in regard to the new
reriod we are in in the U. S.
They do not recognize that the strug-
gle in Gastonia is very significant
point in American labor history.
They fail to see that the struggle
in Gastonia represents new period
when every force in capitalist So
ciety from the socialist party, thru
the Nation, the Civil Liberties
Union, to the textile barons and the
whole capitalist class is lined up
against the struggle we are making.
This underestimation finds its ex-
preston in the question put by many
comrades, "Are the comrades in
Gastonia really in danger of getting
the electric chair?" This attitude
leads to weakening of our defense
campaign and is mainly responsible
for the fact that the movement for
the defense of the arrested Gastonia
