Says:

Congress Has Gone From One
Crazy Extreme to Another,
While the Hoover Admin
istratiOn Has T1UiddLed It's
Thumbs.
NEW YORK, March 28.-This
IN tax rumpus started with the
assertion that an annual increase
of $1,1O0 100000 in federal revenue
was needed to balance the budget.
The sales tax was expected to
produce about one half that
amount.
Since the sales tax has been de-
feated, congress faces the task of
raising something like $500,OO0,000.
That is the problem in a nutshell.

1t is pronounced mar SHAH and

origin.
Can a beam of light start a ma
chine and fire cannon?
Metallic selenium is a noncon-
ductor of electricity when in the
dark, but on exposure to light it
becomes a conductor. This re-
markable property has led to the
selenium cell, the basic principle of
which depends upon coating with a
thin film of Selenium, a conducting
metal, such as copper. When a
Selenium cell is connected in the
circuit of motor, or in the firing
circuit of cannon, it acts as an
open switch as long as it remains in
the dark. When light falls upon it,
it becomes a conductor and permits
current to flow to the motor and to
the cannon.

SCIENCE
Natures Protective Devices
Fail to SdUe Insects From
Their Bird Enemies.
by DAVID DIETZ-

DROBABLY no living creature is
Il immune from the melancholy
fate Of serving as the dinner of
some other creature. This Is the
conclusion reached by DR.. W. L.
McAtee Of the United States biolog-
ical survey.
DR.. McAtee made an investigation
for the Smithsonian institution.
paying particular attention to the
insects eaten by birds.
His conclusion is that so-called
protective mechanisms fail to pro-
tect insects, and that all get eaten
in proportion to their numbers.
DR.. McAtee not only examined
the stomachs of birds, but of fish,
reptiles and mammals as well.
His studies strike a blow at the
old Darwinian theory of evolution,
which commended that protective
mechanism aided certain species to
survive in the struggle for existence
and hence accounted for the prog
ress of evolution.
Saturday I commented on the
relations of DR.. McAtee's work to
the older theories of evolution. To-
day want to give in detail a few
examples of his findings.
A striking example Of the failure
of protective devices is afforded by
the termites, DR.. McAtee says.

Wages Down; Taxes Up!

Resentment Mounts

1T requires no sage to realize that
Il a great wave of resentment and
discomfort is forming throughout
the United States, not because of
the depression, not because of low
prices and wage cuts, but because
the federal government has failed
to meet the people half way.
All the people expect is that the
federal government will do what
they have had to do, will adopt
economies such as they have had
to make and meet this emergency
with such methods and measures
as they have had to adopt.
They ask no originality. All they
ask is plain common sense.

was no material selling pressure on
the market at this stage and prices
soon advanced about a cent from the

moderate export business in North
American wheat overnight.
European continental port stocks
of wheat were asserted to be smaller

vices that various transatlantic coun-

borrowed firmness from wheat and
were influenced also by adverse
weather.
Provisions were steadied by grains,
despite lower hog values.
