appear upon tree this not in the
same places that the leaves appeared last season.
The leaves appear upon new branches and twigs
which have developed from the buds
Every bud contains within 1t the growing point OF
a STEM
Buds which occur at the ends of stems are called
terminal buds. Those which occur at the nodes are
known as lateral buds.
The terminal bud usually only extends the length
of stem branch The lateral buds however, result
in the development of new branches
The growth of plant depends upon which buds
develop with most rapdity and strength tall plant
results if the terminal bud is strongest Plants with
strong lateral buds tend to q hushy form.
Certain trees with strong terminal buds develop
a trunk which extends to the very top of the tree.
This Is true for example of the spruce.
The spruce has strong terminal bud and just be-
meath it several lateral buds The lateral buds grow
into whorl of branches while the terminal bud
tends the main stem. This occurs every year.
The age of the spruce tree can be obtained by
counting the number Of whorls OF branches.
In the \ tree, however, the terminal bud is
weak and does not survive the winter Consequently
the tree branches and more at higher levels the
top Of the tree resembling feather -dusteF.

Hoover Looks South

When four southern states shattered Democratic
tradition by voting the Republican ticket last fall
many attributed it solely to religious and prohibition
prejudice President Hoover. however, seems to think
otherwise, as do many observers
They believe that the development OF industry and
commerce inevitably will tend to link the souths po-
tical fortunes with the party noted for its benevo-
lent attitude toward business The result OF this
frame of mind is the reported selection OF Claudius
H Huston Tennessee industrialist and hnancier, to
become chairman Of the Republican national COM
mittee.

CIeveIand'S Victory

THE citizens of Cleveland are to
Il be congratulated, even if only
one-third of them did go to the
polls on Tuesday.
The political drive against the city
manager plan was of more than
local significance.
II it had succeeded not only
Cleveland but scores of other COM
nlUnities would have lost.
Though sustained by compare
lively small margin, it still was sus-
tanned
After five and half years, Cleve-
land still is satisfied with it, salts
fed that it represents an improve
ment over the old order, satisfied
that the people did wise thing in
substituting municipal government
based on business principles for the
pie counter crowd.

BATTLE OF BosWoRTH


Aug. ~
ON Aug. %, 1885, the famous bat
" tie Of Bosworth field was
fought in England, terminating the
Wars of the Roses.
In this battle, Richard III was
slain and, on a near elevation called
Crowhill Lord Stanley placed the
crown on the head of the Earl Of
Richmond as Henry VII.
At the outset of the fighting,
Richard was deserted by a large
division of his army and saw that
his fate was sealed. Having no lack
of courage, he plunged, with de-
spairing rage, into the thickest Of
the struggle and was slain.
His crowned helmet, which he had
worn, was found by Sir Reginald
Bray, battered and broken, under a
hawthorne bush, and placed it on
the head of his rival, who soon at
tanned a more solemn coronation.
Bosworth is a small market town
in Leicestershire, England, and has
become famous for the moor, two
miles to the south, where the battle
Of BoSworth field was fought.

Serious Charges

TN this connection, some very seri-
l. GUS charges have been made not
only with respect to ether, but quite
a few other drugs. More attention
might have been paid to them but
for public Indifference.
The public is not particularly in
interested in drugs of doctors, unless
it is sick.
When it is, however, it expects
nothing but the best.
For this reason laws have been
passed not only to protect it against
quacks, but against impure medi-
cine, and an elaborate system of
boards and bureaus has been Gre
ated for their enforcement.
With a trustfulness that was too
naive, perhaps, the public has as
sumed that the laws and the system
were working efficiently, and has
listened to the doctor, gone to the
hospital and taken its dose, with the
idea that everything was all right.

protesting against what seemed upon
the surface a discrimination.
In the present case three parties
we're commemorative writer, the
President and the public. There is
no reason why there should be
secrecy about such an appeal.
President Hoover appeared to be
unwilling to consider the arguments
of the anti-blue law group, although
he had been hospitality itself in
allowing Bishop Cannon to come to
his office all hot and bothered from
the bucket shop. Naturally Pro-
fessor FURY and his associate wished
to force President Hoover's hand.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Inhaling Pure Nitrogen Causes Death

If a person breathes a small
amount of carbon monoxide gas over
long period of time he passes
through long series of symptoms
resulting finally in death.
First, his volume of breathing is
increased and his pulse accelerated
and the coordination of his actions
is interfered with. Then his judg-
ment becomes faulty, his sense of
feeling disappears.
He may become angry and mean
and alternate this emotion with hi
lariousness. Muscle efforts lead to
fatigue and may permanently injure
the heart, then fainting spells come
on
At this time also occur nausea and
vomiting. The person finds himself

TALK of the amenities W

TALK of the amenities which
Il prevail in communications be-
tween ladies and gentlemen is quite
beside the point. Mr.. Hoover would
be wise to leave the nice questions
of etiquet to Emily Post and Vice
President Curtis.
1t is not the function of the Amer
lean chief magistrate to act as, the
first gentleman of the land. He has
the more important job of being
President.
If Professor FURY had been send
ing Mr.. Hoover an invitation to drop
in after dinner for pinocle game,
it would nave been discourteous to
send the communication to the pa
pers in advance.
The office of President of the
United States is a symbol. Before
Herbert Hoover, it was, and after
him it will be. The office has neither
flngernails nor toes upon which the
unwary may tread, thereby giving
offenSe.

unable to move along, and lags and
gradually becomes unconscious.
1t is significant that after being
revived, the person is unaware of
the later stages of the situation and
has forgotten entirely what hap
pened.
Indeed, in the later stage, ne may
be wholly unaware that anything
is wrong. He may realize that he
is dying, but does not greatly care.
When death ensues from various
diseases in which the respiration be-
comes exceedingly rapid and the
taking up Of oxygen is interfered
with, such as occurs in the late
stages of pneumonia and heart dis
ease, this is the situation. 1t is per-
hapS one of the kind activities Of a
cruel nature.

Purity of DRUGS

IF anything, the purity of drugs
Il is more important than the ex-
pertness Of doctors, because it is
through drugs that the doctors get
results.
The average doctor, however, is
in no position to know whether the
drugs he uses are genuine. He de-
ponds on the pharmacist, just as
the patient depends on him. The
pharmacist depends on the manu-
facturer and the manufacturer de-
ponds on the chemist.
Because of this complicated situa-
ton, it has been necessary to create
a federal food and drug department,
with power to fix and enforce
standards of purity.

SAYS

II ARGE quantities of ether have
IL been seized by federal authori-
ties in New England and other sec
tons of the country.
The seizures were made as the re-
suit of an investigation originally
started by DR.. Allen w. Rowe of
the Massachusetts, Homeopathic
hospital.
1t is said that he became inter
ested in the situation because an
unusual number of patients had died
while under the influence of ether.
With a perfectly good food and
drug act in operation, and with an
adequate corps of experts to en-
force it, one can not help wonder
ing how this ether found it's way
into the drug market.

This is quite magnificent upon the
part of the Presidents secretary, but
l have a mild curiosity to know just
when the giving or withholding Of
the privilege came within the scope
of the presidential power.
The plain truth of the matter is
that Mr.. Hoover finds himself in a
hole. In the last election the Re-
publican party went to unheard-of
lengths in bidding for the support
of the Evangelical Protestant
churches.

The pastors broke the solid south
for Mr.. Hoover, and now they want
to be repaid in legislation accept
able to their denominations. Sooner
or later Mr.. Hoover must decide
just how far he intends to play
along with the gentlemen who wish
to establish a state religion.
The question is important. 1t is
much too important to be side
tracked by any irrelevant discussion
as to which fork goes with the salad.

statement on the interesting sub
ject of gambling while I still was

particularly severe about dice, and
stated that there could be no de-

around them, since no element of
skill entered the equation.
If the bishop actually believes
this, would like to match him
against any one of a dozen crap
shooters and lay odds that he will
lose.

The Panama Canal

VX7HEN the Panama Canal was
w opened fifteen years ago,
though proud of it,. most people
doubted that it would pay.
The canal had cost 1888, 000, 900,
which was an enormous sum for
those days.
The government assumed $113,-
100000 of this because of what the
canal promised by way of national
defense, and the remaining $275,-
100000 was taken to represent its
cost as a business enterprise.
Fifty-four thousand ships have
passed through the canal since it
was opened, carrying 249, 000, 900 tons
of freight and paying tolls to the
amount of 1928 100000.
If traffic continues to increase
during the next two years as it has
during the last six or eight, the
canal will have paid for itself.
