This skin be stripped off very easily. exposing
the interior of the leaf green granular with
veins running through it in all directions.
The skin is known technically the epdernis.
The green part in the interior of the leaf is known
the mesophyN. 'Meso" middle while
'phyll" means leaf
The veins consist of three types. They are known
the water-conducng tissues, the food-conducting
tissues and the mechanical tissues
Any mass of cells is known a tissue The leaf,
therefore may be said to consist of five kinds Of
tissues the epidern1is the mesophyll and the three
kinds of veins.
Cells already have been discussed to some extent in
this series The cells which can be seen under a
powrful microscope. are composed of protopasm.
1t will be remembered that the interior Of cell
was known the cytosome or cytoplasn, the darker
or denser spot being the nucleus.
Plant cells are characterized by the fact that they
have heavy and rigid walls around them. This wall
in plants is composed Of transparent cellulose.
Another characteristic OF mature plant cells that
the little bubbles vaculoes in them become large
that they take up of the interior of the cells
These vacuoles contain fluid known a the cell
sap. This is chiefly water, but with mineral
salts and other substances dissolved in it.
The study of the cells comprising plants is highly
important and many research workers today are de-
voting all their time to the subject.

"TN Akron, where I was brought
Il up" writes G. l.. T., my mother
taught me to believe that when a
decent girl washed her face she left
it shiny to show the world that she
was a good woman.
Now I am in New York, and my
Aunt Sally, who is really only five or
six years younger than mother, goes
about with both her lips a bright
red. She has lived in New York
ten years. Naturally I know it
wouldn't be polite for me to men
ton the matter to her, and I am
embarrassed to ask her any queS-
tons. Can you explain and justify
Aunt Sally?"
Sight unseen, I'm for Sally. In
the first place, Miss T., you must
abandon the notion that rouge has
anything to do with evil. In the
same way, I think it is fair to say
that there is no necessary alliance
between goodness and a shiny nose.
You do not make out very good
case for the well-washed face with
nothing on it. In your letter you
assert that it is worn this way so
that all the whole world may know
that its possessor is a good woman.

One Good Result

One very good result Of the drive to enforce
the drivers license law will be to call attention
to the fragrant defiance of good taste, if not of
the Constitution itself, in the naming Of Judges
to enforce this act.
Secretary of State Fifeld has this under his
control The law turns over the license fees to
him He spends the money to enforce the law,
subject Of course, to tho supervision Of the bud
get committee which ixes salaries.
He has selected three judges to try those
charges with violating the provisions of the act.
These judges viii revoke or suspend licenses,
after the police have made charges.
Two Of the three judges were members of
the legislature which enacted the law which
took half million dollars from the people and
tried to give a similar sum to favored politi-
clans acting in the capacity Of notares public.
The Constitution Of the state says that no
member of the legislature may. directly or in
directly, take any Office created by that body or
in which the salaries were increased, during his
term Of office.
By some queer slant Of legal reasoning, At
torney-General Ogden constructs this to mean
that member of the legislature can take the
lob by merely ceasing to be a member of the
legislature. He does not even have to resign.
Of course, the men who wrote that provision
never intended any such outcome. They wanted
TO prevent the very thing that has happened.
They wanted to stop legislators from creating
Jobs for themselves.
There is nothing now to prevent the next
legislature from creating a $4,000 year job
for every member of that body and then taking
it as soon as the session ends.
The two members who were named as
license Judges were Roscoe Martin, state SEN
ator from Logansport, and William Bosom Jr,
member of the house, from this city
It is hardly within the bounds of reason to
believe that these two legislators are the only
two LAWYERS in the state who are qualified to ill
these Jobs There could be no other excuse for
Fifeld TO make the appointments unless he is
having for their enthusiasm in behalf OF the
law when they were members, or perhaps hopes
for future political favors.
The incident is so monstrous that attorneys
are Directing One very prominent attorney
having some regard for the Constitution and
decent politics. desires to offer his services to
the first driver who is tried before either OF
these legislators. He will charge nothing for
his services.
He saws that he wants to definitely find out
whether legislators can create jobs for them
selves. and believes that neither of these law
makers is Judge at all, but merely on the pay
roll
Perhaps the people can take care later of
officials who juggle with language and violate
the spirit of the Constitution.

Matchmaking the Farms

The way in which the engine is replacing the horse
American farms is illustrated strkingly by figures
recently issued by the department Of commerce.
In 1918 American farmers owned more horses than
ever before-nlore than 81 100000 BY 1928, however
this total had shrunk to 145410O0 decline far too
great to be explained simply the basis of agricul
tural depression.
In the same time the use of tractors increased
amazingly In 1920 there we're only 229332 tractors
in use in the American farm belt. Last year this
figure had risen to 781 745-and it's still going up.
This is a significant trend. Increasing mechanical
ton may yet do much to lift the farmer back to his
old position of economic independence.

Recently I noticed the nice condi-
ton OF Prospect street east, just
outside the corporate limits. Road
in good shape, weeds cut. good, clean

Here, just inside the limits, comes
poor old much-talked-of English

Of weeds on both sides and in the

Eyestrain is usually strain of the

ject, DR.. Edward jackson points out
that eyestrain usually is associated
with some defect of the eyes that
has not been properly corrected by
suitable eyeglasses.
In some cases children have
nausea and vomiting from eye
strain when riding on electric or

dismissed with the simple state

War Renowned

THE Kellogg pact does not mean
l. the end of war, but it does
mean that we have begun to think
about the end of war as possible.
A minority can be depended on
to break this agreement, just as a
minority has broken every kind of
agreement since the dawn of his
tory
The majority, however, can be
depended on to keep it.
War, you understand, has not
been abolished. 1t merely has been
renounced, classified as a discredit-
able business, removed from its
pedestal of glory and declared a
misdemeanor.

Consistency and Economy

CONSISTENCY, as we'll as econ
~ on1y, calls for such move. &
AS a nation processing to love
peace, we can not go on leading the
world in military expenses.
Last year our military budget
amounted to S624,o00,000; this year
it will amount to $684,0o0,O00, and
next year it will amount to $741,-
100000.
That is nearly $400,0OO,o00 more
than either France or England will
spend during the same time. and
twice as much as Japan will spend.
Whether they and other people
need the example of cut, Ameri-
can taxpayers would certainly ap-
preciate it.
