have often wondered why the for
est leaves are more brilliant in some
years. Particularly I wondered this
wear because there seemed to be no
beauty whatever in the leaves. The u.
S. Forestry Service explains it this
way:
otis not an early frost as commonly
supposed that produces the most col
orful autumn leaves. It's late frost
and the sugar in the leaf-that
gives us the brilliant colors.
Gust the right combination of tenn
perature and moisture is needed. The
best colors come when the thermom-
eter doesn't quite reach the freezing
point for several weeks during the
latter part of September and through
October.
"Silviculturalists explain that be-
fore leaves fall layer of cells form
at the base of the leaf which ulti-
mately loosens the leaf, and when it
drops off, forms scar. If frost doesn't
arrive too soon, this layer forms early
and quickly. 1t holds more sugar in
the leaf and sweet sap causes the
brilliant reds and oranges and vel
lows that deligh the eye.
"This is not only true of the gor-
geous sugar NAPLES but of most of the
colorful hardwood trees-the oaks,
elms, birches, other naples, sweet
gum, black gum, hickory, dogwood
and many others. When frost comes
too early the leaves dry and lose
their sugar before they have time to
take on high color"

ficials announce that those who strike
will remain on direct relief until such
questions are settled. That is happen

the characters of the nations people.
The next thing we know the New
Deal will have everyone on relief vote
on the question of whether or not they
would like to stay on relief. And then
they will show the results as proof
that people demand it.
What about the ones not on relief,
and still believers in work?
All the ones not on relief want is a
chance to vote at the next general
election.

This is the way they thought Of Hal
lowe'en forty years ago, as reflected
in The Republican of October 81, 1895:
"This Thursday evening is All
Halloween, on which night, so the
Scotch superstition says, imps and
fairies, witches, sprites and even Bel
zebub himself, hold sway over the mat
tiers of earth. who is to marry whom 2
is the great question to be settled on
Halloween and it probably originated
in the good natured sallies Of the
Scotch Jeans and 'Sandies' who gath
cred on this night of the harvest fes-
tival to bob for apples or crack the
newly gathered nuts.
"The means used in different coun-
tries in olden times to answer this
great question are quaint and curl
Gus. 1t is also kept as a night of good
fellowship and peace, though the small
boys capers belle this statement, and
acquaintance begun or renewed that
night ought to ripen into life friend
ship.
In this present age if the acquain-
lance of a person is made on Hal
lowe'en night, it might readily turn
into a life enmity, especially if one
or the other is caught removing a
piece of machinery from the barn, a
gate from another's premises, knick-
knacking on his windows, or gener-
ously soaping the windows of his car.
How times change!

It is a Christian principle to honor those who have passed into eternity. It is also a duty. In the course of the average life these remembrances are neces- sariIy confined to families and relatives. But in the larger sense we are all one family. Those who have gone ahead are en- titled by mundane associations to our sympathy and prayerful recollection. But the young lives snuffed out in their prime, a sacrifice to the ideal that their country might remain free and untramulled deserve of us as 8 nation 8 distinct and cOnvinc- ing testimonial.

 Alcorn Acts Hastily
 United States Commissioner Rob- ert H.
