SPEED AID TO DAILY WORKER AT ONCE DANGER IS EXTREME

The alarmingly small receipts Thursday
In response to the appeal for financial help
to save the Daily Worker, have made the
situation today graver than heretofore. We
are confident that the workers who depend
upon the Daily Worker would not willingly
allow it to die. But the slowness with which
contributions are being received makes the
danger most extreme.
Contributions received Thurs

Halt Million

None for Creu,

"You don't think that we would
spend half million dollars for re-
modelling the passengers quarters
if the ship was no good?" asked
an official Of the Dollar Steamship
Line at 25 Broadway, when a Daily
Worker reporter interviewed him
in connection with the fire aboard
the S. S. johnson in which two sea-
men lost their lives, others are still
missing and still others are in a
serious condition.
The slick official, in an assured
tone, tried to impress the reporter
with this sum when he wanted to
know if the ship was in good con-
dition and whether the report was
true that the ship was old and un-
worthy.

"Well don't know any thing

from other papers were down there

who this queer fellow was, or what
family he belonged to. Actually, he was
Centipede, one known as the House
Centipede, because he is often found
in houses. But JennyS only interest in
him was as supply of food for hungry
babies. So she darted at him just as
he was disappearing in crack.
Much to Jenny's disgust, she was just
q trifle too late. All she got was one
OF the Centipede'S legS-one of those
long legs. OF course, leg was OF no
use to her, so she dropped it. She
peered into the crack where the Cent?
pede had disappeared She hoped she
might be able to get her bill in there
and pull him out But the Centipede
had disappeared and Jenny knew that
it was waste of time for her to wait
around for him to come out again.
IN probably have a chance to catch
him some other day" she said. I'll
just keep an eye on this crack over
here. I'll get more than leg next
time or my name isn't Jenny Wreni
Hello, what's that? 1t sounds to me as
if there is an insect of some sort chirp-
ing around here"
She cooked her head on one side to
listen. She could hear faint squeak,
Ike the sound of some small insect.
There was no question about 1t. Her
bright eyes ran over everything about
her They studied the place where the
squeak seemed to come from. Not
living thing was to be seen anywhere,
not even little red ant. Nothing
moved excepting that leg from the
Centipede. That lay just where she had
thrown it. and it kept twitching. Jenny
had seen too many legs witch to be in
tereSted by that All she was interested
in was getting something quickly to
feed those hungry babies over in the
nest But though she quickly hunted
all around, she couldn't find that chirp-
ing insect.

Jenny Finds a Queer Insect.
Every day brings something new;
If not to me, perhaps to you.
Wrenn.

Hungry babies require great deal of
food and this is especially true OF
hungry bird babies. You see, bird
babies have to grow very fast They
sometimes eat more than their own
weights in food in day. So that
means that while they are tiny and
helpless, mother and father must work
very hard to get food enough for them.
Did you ever stop to think how simple
the matter of getting food is for us
humans? We just go out and buy It,.
We know just where to go for it. But
1t is very different with the bird people
and the animal people. They not only
have got to go get it and bring 1t home
to their babies, but they have got to
hunt for it before they can get it. Now,
in Jenny WrenS nest in the clothes

Farmer Browns house where six hungry
mouths. So there were three apiece for
Jenny and Mr.. Wren.
It is well that the Wrens have sharp
eyes. If they didn't have, / am afraid
1t would be impossible for them to find
food enough to feed the big families
they raise every year. Jenny Wren long
ago learned that bugs and worms and
insects are found in all sorts of places,
so she looks in all sorts OF places. This
is how it happened that she was search
ing inside the shed where her nest was.
She had discovered that there were
spiders in there, and spiders are very
good eating for those who like them.
So every day she made a thorough
search of the woodShed, hopping about
over the neatly piled stovewood. peer
ing and poking into every corner and
crevice.
So it was that one morning she hap
pened to discover a queer insect. AL
least, he was queer to Jenny. His body

Vegetables Offered to
Gods of Ancient Times

Turnips, beets and radishes were
respected trio of ancient Greece, all
three having been acceptable offerings
at the temple of Apollo in Delphi.
Their respective rank may be judged
from the custom of dedicating turnips
in dishes of lead, beets in silver and
radishes in beaten gold.
Though radishes are thought to have
come originally from China, their cul-
tivation is of great antiquity in Eu-
rope. In earliest times they were gen.
orally boiled, but later Roman physi-
clans recommended that they be eaten
raw, with salt, before breakfast. A
strip made from them was used to
cure whooping cough and maladies Of
the chest.
Turnips, too, were thought good for
hoarseness and coughs, and also eff
fective as O poultice for the feet. So
important were turnips to the poor
in the Middle ages that they appeared
on armorial bearings to denote a per-
son of good disposition who relieved
the destitute.

the canine idioms, he points out, come

ince of Bahia, where he visited GER

Whole streets, he said, are paved
with the waste material, that gives
them lovely violet sheen. Doctor
Quelle said he knows of place in
Siberia where opals are so plentiful
that the coarse grades are used as
road building material.

SAFETY FIRST IN AUTOMOBILES

Safety is major factor stressed
IN the modern motor car. 1t is in
this phase of construction that the
greatest automotive progress of re
cent years has been made.
Four-wheel brakes, non-shatter-
able glass, ball-bearing spring
shackles and similar improvements
have all helped. Behind these i'm
provements stands the greatest fac
tor of automotive safety-the all
steel body.
AS the traffic on our highways
grows more congested and the ac.
cident toll mounts, stronger car con.
struction is essential and it is only
logical for automobile construction
to follow the lead of all-steel con-
struction of railroad cars.
PROFESSIONALLY, thousands of
lives have been saved by this trend
in motor car design. Power, appear.
ance and speed are essential bnt
safety must come first.

EXTENSION FORESTER TELLS
HOW TO IMPROVE
WOODLANDS

Notwithstanding the fact that ex-
tensive forested areas in Maryland
have been denuded as the result OF
greedy logging, selective cutting is,
with the exception of fire prevention
the greatest need of Maryland's
forests today, asserts F. B. Trenk,
Extension Forester, of the Univer-
sity of Maryland in an Extension
Service bulletin which has just been
issued under the title, Profitable
Management of the Young Forest. :"
In this bulletin, Mr.. Tre1lk de-
scribes the types of woodland that
can profitably be improved and gives
definite instructions for handling
each class of forest. Particular at
tention is given to the neglected
cut-over woodland, which consti-
tutes such large percentage OF the
forest area of the State.
The removal of "wolf" trees
which were left after logging, and
thinning of young, over-crowdeo
thickets, so that the trees can have
an opportunity to grow into profit
able timber, are emphasized and
methods for carrying out the work
are described.
The objective of thinning, says
Mr.. Trenk, is to leave free growing
room for the tops of the tallest trees,
yet the crowns of these trees must
he sufficiently close to each other
not to permit big gaps, through
which sunshine may reach the
ground and stimulate the growth OF
shrubs and weed trees. 1t is ad-
vised that thinning be done after
the material to be removed is suffici-
emily large to have some value for
at least fuel wood.

Governor Obeyed Orders

A governor, the talking motion pic
lures reveal, was giving a memorial
address in the South, before a large
crowd which applauded his utterances,
but those who saw the pictures found
humor in the scene which his gather
ing probably missed.
The microphone, being on the stage,
gives the theatergoer some of the con-
versation which is missed by the most
earnest listener in the crowd which
stood in front of the platform.
The governor was closing his ad-
dress and as he sat down he put his
hat on, but, as the applause began, a
woman standing beside him, probably
his wife, spoke up quickly, "Take your
hat off,"
And the governor did.-Springfieid

Johnny was complaining of badly
bruised knee. 1t had always paid him
well when he took his hurts to moth

On this occasion Johnny needed

he had small bruise on his knee and
if he could only make mother believe
that it panied him, all would be well.
Mother listened to Johnny's tale of
