LONDON, March 31.-One man stands as the crux of the whole troubled political situation in h. dia--Gandhi.
 With Indian nationalists demands ringing in British cars and 1880 the test year i'll modern India's poli- ties, when the l0-year trial of the dyarchy ends. the character and career of Mohandas Karachand Gandhi stride to greater inpor- tance.
 Picture him saint or impostor, or rebel against western culture, the fact remains that he is the most picturesque personality in India today.
 His followers have clothed him in mystic saintliness, fostered the be- lief that through Gandhi only can India achieve independence.
 Gandhi is 50 now and remains the only person in history who has ever been able partially to rally the various castes, the Hindus and Mohammedans under the single standard of nationahsm.
 He was literally born into the political turmoil which has crowned his life.
 His father, premier of cevsral small states, had rebuked 3 British commissioner in public. Apology was demanded and Gardhi's father was arrested. But the apology never was made
 Both Of his parents were devout members Of the orthodox Hindu cult of vishnu and Gandhi inheri- ted much of their religious enthusi- asra.

 At 13 Gandhi married, after thu Hindu custom. a pretty, stubborn girl of his age with whom he wa destined to quarrel constantly un til the birth of their fourth son Then, at his suggestion, their rela tionship became as brother an' sister.
 At Is. soon after his father death, he came to England to com plete his education at the Univer sity of Lcndon. He was back ward pupil, found Sal.sISrit har' and stumbled with many a western CT over Euclid.

CHINESE TREE OF HEAVEN
 IS AGGRESSIVE IN U.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, March 31-The tree of heaven, an im- portation from China, is possibly the most aggressive of all foreign trees, says a report to the Ameri- can Association for the Advance ment of Science by Prof H. J. Lutz of Pennsylvania State Col lege.
 This tree is competing with na- tive forest vegetation in both Penn sylvania and California and grows well on waste or abandoned lands, along old fences or roadsides.
 It is a lucky tree to survive so well in the United States, Profes- sor Lutz says, because native trees usually are able to choke out for eign visitors.
 There are more than TOO species .of trees a foot or more in diameter on this continent.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Tha farmer emerged victorious in his battle with the washerwoman on capitol hill the other day, but not before the vice president of the United States stepped up and de- livered the knockout punch.
 It was one of the most amusing incidents which has occurred dur ing the whole tariff fight in the Senate-this farmer vs washer woman episode, and indicated just what a fix the worn and weary Senators are in.
 Clothespins was the issue, CT to be more exact spring" clothespins.
 The angular Shoot of Utah started the fracas by proposing g duty on spring" clothespins 10 cents higher than the prevailing one. Dale of Vermont and Hat- field of West Virginia whose states manufacture large quantities of the pins (of the spring variety) rallied to his support.
 Dale was particularly ardent. He made lengthy speech in which he pleaded for a higher rate on the ground that 1t would enable the farmers to dispose of wood which was now used only to build fires.

 But Dale took no part in all this mcrrlment. It was apparent that his interest in clothespins was both genuine and serious. He tried to tell Norris so, but the Nebraskan refused to be convinced.
 Barkley. of Kentucky asked face- tiously why should there be any discrimination as between seasonal clothesplns.
 What about summer and autumn and winter clothespins?" he asked .blfthely.
 He was referred to Shoot, but the chairman of the finance com mittea did not see fit to enlighten him.
