Investment in Pearls
Brought Rich Returns

Some years ago woman received
as one of her Christmas presents q
nearl necklace from her husband.
Not being in opulent circumstances,
he was unable to spend more than
sos for them, but their ulster
pleased his wife, however, and Tor
some years she wore them many,
many times until recently the
string broke and she carried them
to the same jeweler to be restrung.
She had hardly reached her home
when she received a telephone call
from the senior partner OF the nrm,
who asked her to call the next
morning. To her amazement, sne
found that what she thought were
excellent limitations were the real
thing and valued at about $b,OOO.
They had been sold by an inexpe-
rienced salesman, It appeared.
Leaving the jewels she returned
home and several days later was
the recipient of a letter from the
jeweler containing a check Tor

string Of pearls worth three or four
times as much as the original price
paid for her first Notwithstanding

Tell Age by Scars

IN tbe Botanic gardens, Regents
,orL London, is a remarkable tree
,!nnwn as the "Kafir Bread" plant.
A1nro than 1000 years old, it is not,
hnwever. native of Great Britain,
heving been imported from South
a frica q few years ago. Nor Is It
very big. At its widest point the
trnIk is only 10 inches in girth, and
fine tree is barely ten feet high, yet
IL Is known by the formidable name
of Encephalartos Altensteinii.
How can its age be told? This
Is done by comparing the number
of leaf scars which cover the trunk
with the number of fronds produced
each year.

Eskimo Children Have
TOYS of Rare Beauty

Eskimo youngsters possess tiny
spears and fish hooks cut from walrus
bones, small crossbows with ivory
tipped arrows, beautiful little ka.
yaks about foot long, cleverly
fashioned from skins and manned
with carved ivory hunters. Each
one holds paddle of bone, bone
harpoon, a wee float of sealskin
and delicate hide lariats.
Little sleds of ivory, only few
inches long, yet perfectly formed.
with several ivory dogs hitched
with reindeer harness, are treas
ured possessions of Eskimo boys
Deer, whales, bears, seals-all sorts
of queer fish and birds-are carved
from pure ivory and given TO the
children at Yuletide. Beautiful
little worry birds of the Far North,
penguin and murre, are cut so dell
cately from ivory as to astOnish the
examiner.
There are ivory thimbles for the
girls, tiny ivory pins for their
coarse, black hair, toggles or clasps
for fur belts, shopping bags OF wnite
fur from the Arctic hare.
Some boys have marvellous drum
made of a thin strip of whaleb0ne
bent to form circle. Both SIDES
are covered with tightly stretched
shark skin. Two little walruS bones
are drum sticks and no snow igioo
can contain the noise that radiates
from the instrument.
Many of these toys reach Amer.
ican cities but are sold In curio
shops and are far too expensive fol

First English Bible

John WycIiffe, first man to trans
late the Bible into English. was
sixty years old when he finished
his task. The work belongs to the
final period of his life, that time
during which he was greatly perse-
cuted by both the church and state.
The Wycliffe version was addressed
to the entire English people, high
and low, rich and poor. This Is
proved by the character of the
copies that have survived About
thirty of these remain and some are
large folio volumes, handsomely
written and illuminated In the best
style of the period. Others are
plain copies of ordinary size for
private persons or monastic libra
ries.-Detr0it News.

Making 'RedS''

Charlotte Anita Whitney, once sentenced to prison
for violation of CALIFORNIA; criminal syndicasm laws
and then pardoned by the Governor, has been
rested again and is facing charges of a similar
nature.
When We first read of it. We were annoyed at Miss
Whitney.
She is a midde-aged, wel-to-do woman of excel
lent family, excellent education and upbrnging. We
thought her first arrest as red" foolish and out
rageous. and believed her conviction and sentence
to fourteen years Imprisonment unfair. We admired
the courage with which she fought her case and ap-
proved of the pardon eventually granted her.
Somehow it hadn't occurred to us that Miss Whit
ney free the first time in eight years of the threat
that had hung over her. WOULD at once begin advo-
eating communism more aggressively than before.
And yet perhaps that was the logical thing to
expect
When you come to think of it, it is not reasonable to
expect that person whose government branded her
criminal for holding advanced views, imposed severe
punishment upon her, and freed her only as an act
of mercy. would emerge from the ordeal with exalted
opinion of the government.
Miss Whitney doubtless walked from the shadow of
the penitentiary with conviction that government is
bitterly unjust. Her friends probably felt the same
way.
The net result of that attempt &c stamp OFT radical
ism was perhaps creation several hundred ardent
radicals.
We never seem able to learn. Somehow we don't
srasp the essential fact that to create respect AMI
loyalty for government we must make government
worthy OF respect and loyalty
syndicalsm laws restrictions of free speech perse
cUon of red" defeat their purpose and accomplish
infinite harm. Anita Whitney today is what We have
made her.
Blindly, needessly, We are creating enemies OF
social order. Our fear and fooshness alone harm

Z 1NCLE HAYWOOD will be back

TTNCLE HAYWOOD will be back
~ in this space Wednesday. A
great number of discriminating peo-
pie will like that. And so will /.
Still it has been fun sitting over
on this page doing the yaWning for
Uncle Haywood.
Nothing more to do than answer
the phones and open the mail. And
at the end of the day write a few
lines of fluff and froth.
It is not hard to understand how
Uncle Haywood grew to be such a
great big billowy man. Rocking to
and fro in an easy chair is pleasant,
but not particularly strenuous. Yet
in way it is fine sport. I counted
up to 1923 yesterday before I fell
asleep.
I don't know what is par for the
course, but my previous total was
293 and was in the bunker twice.
I feel with another two weeks I
could reach 500 and then I would
be in a position to challenge a con-
gresham.
1t is not going to be simple mat
matter to go back to the sports page
and 60 to work again. For this and
other reasons, wish Uncle Haywood
had taken whole month instead Of
half a month. For once he might
have been less conservative. Half a
loaf is not always better than none.
Modest as I am, I think I have

those of the Lords Day Alliance. The protest letter
had been given to the press by the association.
If the White House confined its ruling to a
refusal receive letters made public before receipt
by the President it would be sound ground. Such
a ruling would be nothing more than statement Of
the customs of courtesy generally observed in public
intercourse.
But to refuse to receive" letters made public be-
fore the White House has got around to "acknowl-
edgment" goes far beyond the dictates either of
courtesy or reason 1t comes pretty close to denying
the right of petition which one of the most treas
ured rights Of this or any other democracy.
Doubtless the White House has no intention OF
going so far in fact but that is added reason for
framing from any such sweeping ruling that writ
apparently in moment of pique to the blue law
opponents
This ruling could be used by the White House
to suppress far the government was concerned,
any petition by the simple expedient acknowl-
edging it. Having failed to acknowledge or the
petition, the White House then could deny having
received it at all.
This latest White House ban is especially unfortu-
nate because the President quite properly is
ceing personally fewer propaganda delegations Such
delegations often have wasted the time of the busiest
in the world and some have msused their inter-
views to advertise the President as committed to
views on which he has not expressed himself.
Since it is not practicable in all cases to extend
the privilege of personal audience with the President
it is all the important that there be bureau
cratic interference with the channels of written
petitions.
It is the Presidents own business what disposition
he will make of any petition But if the White House
refuses even to receive written petitions it abuses
its powers.

CENTURY
PLANT

ground stems only This class includes the cat-tais
peonies and swamp mallowS among others
Certain plants have perennial underground stems
known popularity bulbs. Tulips are a good example.
Other pants like ferns, have underground stems
to which portions added at end each
year. while the other end dies away each year No
part of such plant lives very long, but the plant
whole may persist for hundreds of years.
Plants, 1t will be recalled, are classified ANNALS
biennals and perennials.
An annual is plant which lives only during one
growing season. A biennial is plant which lives
through parts of two growing seasons, for example
wheat planted late season. which weathers the
winter and fourshes the next spring and early
mer.
Perennials, already explained. live through
number of years.
1t is interesting to note that ANIMALS and biennals
Gle almost Immediately after producing seeds. They
have period of old age and senility.
This is true also of some perennias. The century
plant. found the deserts of the American south
vest take from twenty-five to thirty years to develop
Towering stem and seeds. But as soon as the seeds
have been produced the plant dies.
Trees and shrubs. however, finally reach stage
where their life processes gradually slow up and de-
cline In other words they pass through period of
old age and senilty before they die
It will be recalled that plants also classified
as herbs shrubs and trees. Herbs have stems which
lack woody tissues.
Shrubs and trees have woody stems. Shrubs de-
veloU numerous stems from a single base.
Trees have only single stem, known of course
as TIA trunk.
Most shrubs are less than ten feet In height, but
few reach height Of twenty feet.

duce death by asphyxiating the hu-
man being.
Some gases prevent oxygen from
getting into the lungs. Other as
phyxiating gases act on the blood
to keep it from carrying oxygen, or
on the tissues of the body to keep
it from using oxygen.
A second group of gases called
irritating gases. They burn or
otherwise injure the surface tissues
of the lungs, causing Inflammation
and in that way preventing absorp-
ton Of oxygen and producing death.
A third group of gases exert a
drug-like action after they get into
the blood by way of the lungs.
They include the nitro compounds
which alter and destroy the red COL
oring of the blood and in that way
interfere with the carrying Of oxy-
gen, and they include also the anes-
theticS.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-08-20

affected by gases than are others.
1t has been estimated that during
rest 80 per cent of the blood passes
through 20 per cent of the tissues
in each round of the circulation and
that the remaining 80 per cent of
the tissues receive only 20 per cent
of the blood.
The amount of blood that goes
to the brain, the organs of the body
and the glands is large; the amount
that goes to the muscles, the bones
and the feet is small.
There is no doubt that for this
reason the brain more seriously is
affected early by small doses of
poisonous gas than are other tissues
Of the body.
With these points in mind, the
gases that affect the human being
may be divided into various types.
First, are those that cause lack of
oxygen in the body and which pro-

Matter of Control

A MOTHER time the phone rang
IN and it was a lady wanting to
know if would address meeting
on birth control.
I tried to explain that it would be
difficult to get away due to the fact
that DR.. John Roach Stratton and
Bishop Cannon we're calling to take
me over to Kelly's for little sclree.
But this would not suffice and I'LL
timately I let the Broun cat out OF
the bag by admitting that all 1
knew about any sort of control was
the kind Herb Pennock had on a
curve ball with the count three and
two.
There we're other situations from
which I was able to extricate myself
only by the employment Of extreme
f1nesse and diplomacy.
There was the day, for instance,
when Mr.. Simonson presented
himself and wished to talk about the
possibility of my joining a new
comedy he was on the verge of COM
hitting in the name of the higher
arts.
It developed he wanted strong

The Fetish of Force

KXTHAT makes the situation more
w grinly analogous, we are mo-
bilizing troops, without calling it
war.
Down in North Carolina companies
of militia are being called out to
prevent further riots at Marion,
where strikers and strike breakers
have already engaged in several
meleeS.
The problem of eliminating or
ganized war between governments
appears rather less difficult than the
problem of eliminating strife of a
factional character.
The idea of force still ranges so
close to the surface that it is hard to
keep down in case of strain or ex-
element.
Indeed, force is the first thing
most people think of when they get
mad.
That, more than anything else,
has enabled leaders to promote war.
