carriage bodies, and many industries
have been established to use the willow
tWig.
Between the fall of the leaves and
the flow of the sap, the twigs are cut
back. This pruning gives in return
many twigs. In ancient days the will
low was made into shields for the
Britons. who fought the Roman SOL
diers behind shields fashioned from the
willow twig.
The salicylic acid used so much in
medicine is made from the bark Of the
willow. The tannin and dyes are also
made from the bark.
There is q little fly that lays her eggs
In the tip of the twig. The egg matches,
and the little grub begins to grow. The
willow tip is deprived Of its rightful
nourishment and tries to protect itself.
The result is a little conelike effect on
the tip Of the willow. The grub sue
ceeds, but the willow has knob-like
growth on the tip of the twig.

PUSSY WILLOWS.

TINE pussy willow stands in the
bog and blooms joyfully that
all may know that 1t is Spring
Il On Its branches hang the fuzzy
little pussies. The willow pussies
have the polien-bearing flowers. In
Winter they are hidden by q brown,
vanished, thick bract. When the pussy
Is in full bloom you can see the fur
bordered scale and under it the two
stamens with the low filaments ana the
stout anthers. There are no pistils in
this blossom. They are on another
tree and the flowers are the same
greenlsh-gray catkins, but are not so
soft or fuzzy.
Bees act as marriage prieSteSses and
carry pollen from tree to tree. There
is great sense of peace when you
hear the steady hum Of the thousands
OF bees as they dart from tree to tree.
The nectar is kept in little jug-shaped
glands by the pussies for their guests
and on the other tree with the piStil-
late flowers the nectar is in a long
pocket.
In June the willow seed is ripe. The
little catkin is made up Of tiny pods.
Tney open much like the milkweed
pod and are filled with seeds handily
provided with their own balloons. When
these seeds are set free it is said that
the willows are shedding cotton"
The tWigs of pussy willows will grow
in water and can be easily tranSplanted.
In fact, the little twigs Just cannot
help taking root where moisture and a
little soil are provided.
When the twigs are. broken off and
float down stream they often become
lodged with debris on the bank. Here
one takes root and another pussy will

appearances" does not appear on any
budget, but 1t Is q ghost whose shadow
Is always apparent.
For the sake of economy. it is sug-
gested that breakfast be eaten at home,
and the two other meals be eaten out
as economically as possible. No allow
ance is made for meals that will be
gratis, but then extra dinners and holi-
day dinners may cost all that one saves
in the other way.
To make the budget amount for
clothes do, It Is suggested that working
girls make 1t practice TO patronise
sales and to wait. at least, until mid
season before buying clothes.
OF course, there will always be girls
here and there who will find any budget
impossible" but such girls have either
been unwilling to adapt themselves to
their circumstances, or they have failed
to modify the budget according to their
particular needs.
Girls, for example, who work at sea-
sonal occupations must save more than
those with all-year -round jobs Some
girls have larger appetites than others.
while some wear simpler clothes.
Evening star., 1932-03-17

It always seemed to us that married
women have had their budget needs
overattended to, but that working girls
have been rather ignored. One reason
has been that 1t is not easy to budget
a working girls life. She is not likely
TO have much to start with. and she
demands much of what she does have.
One State federation Of womens
clubs made a study of the problem, and
its results are worth noting. The wom-
en- put their heads together and COM
piled the following budgets:
They are for girls earning $40, $25
and $50 a week, respectively. They
allow, respectively, the following for
the various items Of living: Shelter, S.,
So and 81; food, 81. SO and So; cloth
ing 81, So and 81; recreation and
health, 81, 81 and So; advancement,
81; savings, 50 and So, and other ex-
penses, So
In each case the idea is to give the
working girl control of her money,
rather than to direct her how to spend
it. It has been found, for example,
that most young women spend too
much money on rent. Keeping up

to this task is spared interruptions un-
til he has at least completed the major
part of his statement.
Generally speaking, the House wanted
this done for Crisp.
But this particular bill is so re'volu-

that the boys just couldn't keep still.
They began asking questions.
At each interruption, gracefully
granted by the Georgian, there were
cries from the floor directed toward the
ouestioner of sit down." Let him get

Finally Crisp. with the gallantry OF
a Georgia gentleman, said:

In the matter of fixing time for
debate, he was as generous.
"Well discuss it today, we'll discuss

he said. And If we are not through
Saturday, gentlemen-then there's all

Tax Penalty Repeal
Is Killed by
Accident

RICHMOND, Va, March 81.
An error in the enrolling room
of the State senate has mad
vertently killed the bill designed.
to lift the June 5 per cent tax
penalty, and the law must re-
main as it is, Gov. John Gar
land Pollard has discovered.
The title of the bill bears the
repeal clause, but the bill itself
lost its main clause on its way
through the legislative mill in
the final rush, it was found.
The concluding sentence, writ.
ten on the back of the sheet OF
paper, apparently was mis-
placed. At any rate, it was
never transcribed, and the house
passed the bill without its key
provision. :,
The measure was advanced
as a tax relief bill, but was
vigorously opposed in some
quarters on the grounds that
it might increase the delinquen-
cieS.

RUINED FARMERS
APPLAUD FOSTER
En- dorse Demand for
Farm Relief

FREDERICK, S. D., June 10 CBy
MAZDA large crowd of farmers
from around here gathered at Savo
Hall to hear William 2. Foster, Com
munist nominee for president of the
United States. and cheered especially
that plank of the Communist plat
form which demands. Emergency
relief for the poor farmers without
restrictions by the government and
banks; exemption of poor farmers
from taxes, and no forced collection
of rents or debts"
Farmers. also remembering how
many of their ills date from the last
world war, eheered Fosters denuncia-
ton OF the imperialist war plans now
going forward at Washington. Those
who think the farmers are perman
emily tied UP with the capitalist sys-
tenn should have heard the approval
OF these farmers when Foster told
them that the immediate demands
in this election could bring only some
Improvement in their lot, and that to
get rid Of capitalist terror and CAPT.
talist exploitation. capitalism itself
must be overthrow.
Foreclosure on land. evictions of
tenant farmers who cannot pay their
rent, are common in these regions
today.
Foster went from Frederick to big
meetings in Bismark, Minot, Brush
Lake and Great Falls. These meet
ings have been reported in the Daily
Worker. He is speaking in Butte,
Montana, today, and will go on into
