GUS farm. No doubt, a pioneer planted
the tree beside his new home. because
the tree reminded him Of his birth
place across the water.
There Is little difiiculty in identify
ing your poplar Summer or Winter.
In the Winter there is dense, cot
tony coverlet on the lower branches,
twigs and large buds. The bark on
the young trees is q smooth greenish-
gray, dotted with dark spots. while
the older trees are marked with deeply
furrowed black ridges.
The flowers are typical poplar
blossoms. developing into cottony
tassels, from the buds seen earlier in
the year. The producing
flowers are the male or staminate
ones, and are found on separate trees
from the pistillate or seed-producing
ones. Wind and insects carry the
pollen from flower to flower.
Though the tree is among the first
to bloom, few have taken the time
to study the flowers, and before they
know it, the seed-pods are developed
They are two to four, Waived and
packed brimming full of tiny seeds.
They are well provided with a silken
fringe, that acts as q kite for them,
when travelling to far places on q
Spring breeze. These tiny seeds may
be planted along the borders of
streams and in a very short time will
be nourishing into trees. In fact,
20-year-old tree will reach at least
65 feet In height, and have q trunk
diameter Of two feet.
As rule, white poplars are planted
as ornamental trees, windbreaks, or
to keep waters within their banks.
They have two very bad habits that
have got them into bad repute. One
Is their determination to send up
suckers from their roots, which, of
course, push sidewalks up or ruin the
looks OF lawn. The other one is
that the silyery leaves are famous
dust and SCOT collectors.
The wood Is made into many small
wares, as 1t Is easy to work. The
leaves are lovely in the Spring, as
they futter and dance on flexible
stems, making the tree tops appear
to be ripping water.
See how many poplars you can
identify this Spring, as you 20 about
on your nature hikes. You will be
surprised to learn how many there
are in your locality. or possibly how
few.

Today S Science
BY DAVID DIETZ-

A METHOD of insuring international peace
y through the control of the rare minerals with
out which modern war can not be Waged is sug-
gested by Prof. Ward " Evans of Northwestern
University in a report to the American Chemical
Society.
Prof Evans points out that the boundaries of
nations originally established from an agri-
cultural point of view with reference to mineral
wealth. Consequently. many nations which are
rich in fertile fields and even we'll supplied with
such mineral substances as coal and iron. short
on materials which are required for the complex
industrial life of today and the equally complex
business of prosecuting a twentieth century war.
The United States is probably the outstanding
example because it is the most favored nation with
respect to mineral wealth. The United States has
within its borders coal. petroleum, iron ore.
copper. lead zinc. sulphur. arsenic borax, cadmium
molybdenum and tale than any other nation.
But despite American leadership in the four
great fields of coal petroleum, iron and copper, the
United States has its mineral shortages. Among
those which the nation must import antimony
ohromite manganese. nickel. tin, asbestos, bauXite
nitrateS. platinum, potash and vanadium.
Four of these what known as key min
erals in wartime namely, chromite. manganese,
nickel and vanadum.
4 MOTHER mineral regarded as highly important
n in wartime today is molybdenum. 1t produces
an alloy steel of unusual toughness and is extremely
desirable for both weapons and projectleS. 1t was
in great demand during the World War.
The United States is exceptionally we'll of with
regard to moybdenum. AS matter of fact, about
"a per cent of the worlds supply comes from one
district, the Climax mine in Colorado. But Ameri-
supremacy in this field means shortage for
every other nation and a dependency upon the
United States. The balance Of the worlds molyb-
denum supply comes from just two places. SIS per
cent from Norway and the remaining 05 per cent
from Canada.
A s matter Of fact the United States does pro-
N duce some vanadum and also some manga
nese. but not enough to meet its needs.
1t is interesting to note that while the United
States has no nickel. Canada has plenty of it.
Canada supplies about 90 per cent of the worlds
stock Of nickel. New Caledonia supplies another
rs per cent The remainder comes mainly from
Australia Greece and Norway.
Russia. India. the Gold Coast of Africa. and
Brazil are the great producers of manganese Africa
Is the center of chromit5 production Peru produces
90 per cent of the worlds supply of vanadium.

there was something genuinely
wrong with them. and never,
never all cried at once. The best
way to explain this statement, L
think, is to say that we believed
i'll prevention.
Our whole aim was to look
ahead and see that everything
was done before they could cry for
it to be done. They did not cry,
because they had nothing to cry
for. At night, for instance, they
were carefully arranged for COM
plete comfort.
They had drinks of water all
round. We saw to it that they had
plenty of fresh air. that they we're
dry, and that they were neither
too hot nor too cold. that their
covering did not weigh them
down.
They we're made to know that
when 1t was time for sleep, they
we're to sleep. The blinds we're
pulled down and they were left
alone. They were never given
toys when it was the period
either for rest or sleep.
IF a baby did cry in the night
L or was fretful in the day, we
took it as q warning and investi-
gated carefully to find out what
was wrong. Then we treated it
preventatively and usually sue
ceeded i'll forestalling any threat
ening ailments.
| have heard women say that
they can not keep their babies in
bed when they are i'll. That is
nonsense. The place for a sick
baby is bed and it will stay there
we'll enough if it has been accus-
toned to the right kind of treat
ment.
OF course, if 1t is used to being
held constantly in an adults arms,
that is something else. Our ba-
bies were picked up only when
there was reason for it. They
were handled as little as possible.
And they we're never played
with when it was time for them
to be doing something else-to be
eating, for instance. That is very
important.
l can not repeat too often that
each person in charge of baby
must use her intelligence and
common sense. l do not think. for
example, that you can set down a
rule for feeding all babies. Dr.
Dafoe worked out the diet that
best suited our babies.
They like some of their foods
perhaps better than others, but
there are none they don't eat. If
they refuse anything, it is casually
taken away but given another
time.
Every baby should have these
things-a balanced diet, fresh air,
