THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E, TRACEWELL.

There Is always something worth see.
ing In every garden, II it Is nothing
more than q praying mantiS.
One may be quite old and still never
have seen one Of these insects until ht
comes across 1t In his own yard.
Just how 1t has been missed, all these
years, one cannot say, but surely these
eyes never saw its like before.
No grasshopper, this, although 9
cousin, as even the least critical person
could see.
surely, II one had laid eyes on II
before, there could be no such surprise
over this particular specimen.
Il 4
The praying mantis Of local garden,
belongs to the order of insects callec
Orthoptera, which includes such differ.
ent creatures as grasshoppers, locusts
crickets and cockroaches.
The so-called praying mantis (Man-
It's religiosa) will knock the observer
cold II he has never seen it before, and
1t Is curious how one may go through
life without ever having laid eyes on 1t.
The older person. interested in the
things Of nature will know, positively,
that he has never consciously seen 1t
before in all his days.
Even If he had noticed one, as q
child, he would have thought it a rather
large grasshopper; still, he believes
positively that he would have noticed
the difference, If he had seen 1t at all
He has had no personal acquaintance
with this prophet" as the Greek word
for it is.
Now that he sees it, with his own
eyes, he wonders where he could have
been all those years.
Surely it was as important to know
about the praying mantis as about the
mantissa.
Have you forgotten about the man
ussa?
1t is the decimal part of logarithm,
OF course, which one strove so hopefully
to conquer so many years ago.
Most OF us never conquered loga-
rithIns. Yet We recognized, at the time
their possible usefulness In an In
creasingly complex world.
Since those days, we have had no use
at all for q mantissa. nor for a praying
mantis, for that matter; but our point
Is that we have had Just as much use
for the latter as for the former.
This insect, with its queer forelegs
held In the position Of hands folded In
prayer, is every whit as worth knowing
as a decimal part Of logarithm.
More so, 1t would seem. to one In
terested in home gardens. to one who
believes that there Is no garden, how
ever humble, without something excep-
tional In it.
Surely it Is not always q flower, the
prize Of these small gardens, scattered
through the great cities Of the land and
their wide flung suburbs.
Here is a tiny city back yard. scarcely
20 feet square. yet the loving care put
upon it Is well worthy Of any visitors
attention.
There are good flowers here, but
something more than that.
Here is plan, mental effort, patience
foresight, attention.
And these are always worth while
wherever one finds them, or however
displayed.
The best part Of a garden may be
some dificulty overcome, some advan-
tage taken Of a natural situation which,
left to itself, would have constituted an
ugly spot to be hidden. Or perhaps 1t
may be some different combination OF

When so many patriotic citizens ad-
nit they have been wrong for so many
years about prohibition, it Is perhaps
not to be wondered at that there are SO
many economic matters that call for
adjustment as thoroughly and rapidly
as possible.

Persistent coughs and cold lead

Of all known drugs, creoSote is
recognized by high medical author

agencies for persistent coughs and
colds and other forms of throat
troubles. CreomulSion contains, in
addition to creoSote, other healing
elements which soothe and heal the
infected membranes and stop the

the crosote goes on to the stomach,
is absorbed into the blood, and at

resentative Of the department OF

that President Roosevelt take i'm
mediate action to stop "chiseling"
in the industry.
Mr.. Wells revealed that South
Bend restaurant owners had talked
abandonment of the NRA and had
communicated with him concerning
such a step. Richmond BARRIERS,
South Bend coal dealers and 220
shoe repair firms in Indianapolis
have sent similar requests, accord
ing to Wells.
In an open letter to President

the state, asked that code Of fair
competition Immediately be adopted
to stop "chiseling."
Operating at Loss
I'VE have made repeated appeals

have received any satisfaction. The
'chiselers are so numerous that
those who attempt to meet their
prices must operate at loss to do
So"
The associations open letter to
the President states that in the
orders to operate under temporary
code, no provision was made for
paying the higher rates of wages
or those of added help under NRA.
Faced on one hand by rising
commodity prices" the letter con-
tinues, higher pay rolls have added
longer personal hours of work. We
find our profits ground down to
nothing between the ever-expand-
ing competition of unrestrained
chains on one side and the limited
buying power of the public on the
other.
Ask Fair Competition
we ask for codes of fair compe-
tition that would fix minimum prices
which would prevent cut-throat
practices now in use and to provide
fair profit to ourselves"
Mr.. Akin revealed that Represen-
tative Louis Ludlow of Indianapolis
had made repeated efforts to get
government action on the adoption
of permanent code. The Indiana
group, according to Mr.. Akin, has
asked permission to operate under
the provisions of the permanent
code of fair competition pending its
adoption at Washington.
