Where Pigeons Fail

The use of carrier pigeons has
not been attended with any great
degree of success by the members
of the royal Canadian air force on
forestry patrol. Birds were car
ried on airpIanes with the hope
that they would prove valuable in
case of emergency. Several birds
were released 500 miles from home.
but a small number reached their
objective point They had encoun-
tered an electrical storm and were
lost in the struggle. Those that
did get through were very late. In
another test one bird reached the
home cote, but it had lost its mes
sage. This was genuine call for
help and the unfortunate flyer was
compelled to walk many hundred
miles.

Insecta Aid RipeninR

A curious use is made of the
wild fig, or capri-fig, in some warm
countries. When the fruits of the
common fig are growing, branches
of the capri-fig are cut and placed
over them. These bring Insects
which pierce the immature fruit to
lay their eggs, and by killing it
hasten its ripening. Thus earlier
crops are obtained and the culti-
waited trees are induced to give
further, speedier crops. The pro-
cess is known as caprification and
is commonly employed in the
countries lying along the Medi-
terranean sea.

Gauging Age of Stars

The age of the earth according
to ordinary time standards is enor-
nous, but when compared with the
age of some stars our earth is ex-
traordinarily young.
Three different astronomical
methods can be applied to the cal
culation of the age of the stars,
and all three astronomical clocks
show the same time, 100000 to
100000 years. If the age of
human being is one second, of
the human race six hours, then the
lower limit of the age of the earth
is one year, and the age of the
stars is 5000 years.-George Won
Hevesy in Science.

Fear of Premature Burial

In ancient times the authorities
took even greater precautions
against premature burial than are
taken today. Tobb and Vollum
Hadwan, In their book Premature
Burial" say:
"To prevent such unspeakable
horrors, the Egyptians kept the
bodies of the dead under careful
supervision by the priests until
satisfied that life was extinct pre-
vious to embalming them by means
Of antiseptics. balsams and odorif-
erous gums.
"The Greeks were aware of the
dangers of premature burial and
cut off fingers before cremation to
see whether life was extinct"

Organizing Workers Delegation to Visit

sist Of ten industrial workers, ten
working farmers and agricultural
workers, and ten professionals (tech-

delegates are to be elected by organi
cations, the cost for each delegate be-
ing $3.50. Ten per cent of the money
raised by each organization to buy
equipment for Strana Sovietov will
go toward paying the fare of its dele
gate or of an additional delegate.
The delegates will visit the lumber
camps of Soviet Russia and bring
back an accurate report of conditions
there. They will also be the guests
Of Strana Sovietov and will visit all
the important industrial and agricul-
tural centers of the U.S.SR. All trade
Unions and workers fraternal organ
izations are urged to get on the job
at once in the campaign to equip

ers and shareholders of LaiSye to. the
activities of these agents of American

tee. We call upon them to prepare
to rout these enemies of the working

next Sunday. Their fight bellies their
protestation of loyalty to the working

preparation for the shareholders
meeting, stamps them as enemies to
the interests of the working class.
Laisye has as its only reason for ex-
istence an uncompromising revolu-
tienary struggle for the working class.

The Communist Party of the United

The Communist Party of the United
States, as part of the Communist In

workers for the struggle against i'm

Without the Communist Party as
the leader and organizer of the work
ing class the workers would be I'M
able to resist the attacks of the cap
italists. Not to resist the attacks of
the capitalists would mean for the
workers starvation, unbearable ex-
ploitation, and their slaughter for
profit on the battlefields of an i'm
perialist war.
Relying on the sanction and the
help of the whole capitalist class, its
government machinery and its Fish
Committee, handful of petty bour-
geois. strengthened by few rene
gades, are organizing to defeat Com
munist leadership and Communist
policies in the Laisye Publishing Cor
poration.
We know that the masses OF Lithu-
anian workers who have followed the
leadership Of Laisye in the past will
rally to maintain Laisye as the
spokesman and proponent of repolu-
tionary class struggle policies. We
know that the masses of proletarian
shareholders in the Laisve Publishing
Corporation, who have in the past
fought for and maintained revolu-
tionary class struggle policies in the
Laisve, will rally for the maintenance
Of these policies and for the defeat
OF the enemy that is now trying to
raise its head.
These shopkeepers and renegades
are very careful to cover up their
fight with protestations of loyalty to
Communist principles. They know too
well that the masses of readers and
shareholders of Laisve would never
follow them If they dared to develop
their real program Of struggle against
the Communist Party. But their own
actions belle all their protestations of
loyalty to Communist principles.
First, they have allied themselves
with elements that the working class
had to drive out of its ranks and
that the Communist Party had to
expel. Second, they have organized
and misled even workers in the Laisve
plant to refuse to set up and print
statements issued by the Communist
Party against enemies Of the working

Editors Note.
To the Lithuanian workers, to the
readers OF Laisye, to the share
holders of the Laisve Publishing
Company:
Comrades
A group of enemies of the working
class, and of the Communist Party,
are making frantic efforts to organize
petty-bourgeois and anti Communist
elements in the Laisve Publishing
Corporation for the next sharehold-
ers' meeting. They want to defeat
the influence of the Communist Party
and take Laisye out of the ranks of
the, proletarian papers that defend
the Soviet Union, uphold and follow
the principles of the Communist In
ternational and defend the interests
of the working class.
At this moment, the preparations
for war by American capitalism
against the Soviet Union are being
intensified to the utmost. At the
same time, oppressive measures by
the capitalists against the working
class as a whole and against the
masses of hungry unemployed in par
ticular, are the order Of the day. The
main aim of the bourgeoisie in these
measures is TO silence and suppress
the Communist Party because that
Party is the only spokesman for the
interests and the only organizer and
leader for the struggles of the work
ing class.
The Communist Party CT the United

ternatonal, organizes and leads the

NEW YORK.--While the capitalist
press continues its campaign of lies
.vUu55 convict labor" in the Soviet
Union and fascist Fish renews his

are answering this thinly disguised
war propaganda by starting a cam
paign of their own. This is cam
paign to send $4,000 worth of equip
ment to Strana Soyietov Gand OF
the Soviets), collective farm located
on the lower Volga, near Stalingrad.
Under the direction of the Friends
OF the Soviet Union, this campaign is
being spread into every section of the
country.
The Strana Sovietov needs the fol-
lowing equipment for the mechanical
ton of this vast collective farm: two
trucks; system of 20 telephones
with 80 miles of line; wind pump
motor; set Of furniture for the
children's nursery; a Ford automo-
bile; combine; a 30 hip. caterpillar
tractor and a pillow; stump puller
This will cost approximately $25,0oo

is also organizing May First Dele
