said. adding:
"The majority of these re.

against unfair trade practices.
Such industrial giants as Gen.

KEEP NEUTRAL,
ROOSEVELT
PLEADS

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S G.N.S0.
A strong plea for support of Ameri-
cas- policy Of neutrality in threat
ened conflicts abroad had been
left with the American people to-
day by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
In a message read last night by
Mrs. Roosevelt at the closing ses-
sion Of the Fifth Annual Women's
Conference on Current Problems
at the Waldorf Astoria, the PreSi-
dent requested a healthy, sound
and, above all, thoroughly Ameri.
can public opinion" to support
neutrality. He said:
81 have pledged myself to do
my part in keeping America
free from those entanglementS
that move rs along the road to
war.
PUBLIC BACKING ASKED
II want to feel at all times
that I have the sustaining In
fluence Of . healthy. sound and.
above all, thoroughly American
public opinion on the subject"
The Chief Executive had
planned to deliver his address by
radio from the u s. s. Houston
at sea, but facilities for satisfac.
tory reception could not be guar.
anteed by electrical engineers so
Mrs. Roosevelt delivered the mes
sage.
Declaring mans education is q
continuing thing throughout his
life, President Roosevelt con-
tfnued:
There was never q time in
the history Of this country
when an examination of the
fundamental principles on the
basis Of which our public
affairs are conducted was more
important. Great and signifi.
cant questions face us on all
sides. We do well to take cOun-
sci with respect to these by .
fair public presentation Of vary.
ing points Of view.
VITAL FOR WOMEN
"ThiS is particularly true
with respect to the women of
America. Their interest In these
great questions is rooted deep
In the conditions Of their own
lives. When our economic Sys-
tenn fails to sustain an adequate
standard Of life, it is the women
who face the most poignant
privati0n.
"A falling standard In the
incomes Of average Americans,

homes into factories. the de-
gtructiOn Of workers morale by
unemployment, widespread pre-
ventable diseases, unnecessary
industrial warfare and, most Of
AL, that failure of reason which
permits and wages modern war.

in modern society throw upon
women a material and spiritual
burden Of the greatest Signifi-

st. Bartholomew Hospital in London,
reported in this weeks issue of the
British medical journal Lancet, in which
this venom in difutions of one part in
10000 has been used successfully to
coagulate the blood of the "bleederS." :"
Cotton soaked with this solution is
packed into the cavity from which a
tooth has been extracted. with rapid
cessation of the blood flow. For the
first time it is possible for a bleeder to
60 to a dentist with some assurance
that the extraction will not prove fatal.

Devious are the paths of science.
Dr. A. F. Woods, former scientific di-
rector of the Department of Agriculture,
tells of one of the most remarkable pro-
gressions from the apparently trivial to
developments of great medical and COM
mercial Importance, which comes partly
from the files of the department itself.
Familiar to every one is the green
slime, known as frog spittle," which
gathers on ponds and stagnant streams.
1t consists of stringlike colonies of algae,
primitive, one-celled plants. Nearly a
century ago a Swiss biologist, Wilhelm
Won Nageli, attempted to study these as
a matter of interest to pure science. He
found that they would not grow in tap
water, but he could not detect any chem
ical difference between this and the pond
water in which they thrived.
Won Nageli'S curiosity was aroused,
and after numerous experiments he
came to the conclusion that the algae
poison in the tap water must consist OF
minute traces of copper from the faucet.
There was only one part of copper to
100000 parts of water, but this was
enough to kill the primitive plants. He
published his conclusions in an obscure
pamphlet, which nobody read and which
was forgotten for half century. Actu-
ally he had discovered the most sensitive
test of copper known to science.
Fifty years later the Department OF
Agriculture received a letter from
commercial grower of watercresS. The
frog spittle" was choking his crop and
he wanted to know what to do about it.
An American industry whose product
was valued at millions of dollars year
was seriously threatened. One of the
experts, browsing around in the library,
came on this forgotten pamphlet con-
tanning an account of Won Nageli's work.
The problem was solved and the water
creSs industry saved. But this was only
a beginning. The problem was water
borne diseases, barely heard of in the
Swiss biologists day. had come to the
fore. If minute traces of copper killed
the algae might it not also kill other
one-celled organisms, such as the bac-
terra responsible for typhoid or cholera?
They tried it out and it worked. 1t also
killed certain fish.
But the door had been opened. If
minute traces of one chemical substance
had such specific lethal effects, might
not another be found bacteria alone,
leaving the fish and the algae unharmed?
Seach for such substance led to the
discovery OF chlorination of water, which
was one of the major factors in pre-
serving the health of the American Army
in the World War.

An Effort to Aid Youth.

In his statement explaining objectives
of his newly created National Youth
Administration, President Roosevelt
recognizes that the final solution OF
this whole problem Of unemployed youth
will not be attained until there Is re-
sumption of normal business activities
and opportunities for private employ
ment on a wide scale" That Is, OF
course. true. Without the expenditure
of tremendous sums in creating work,
in or out of school, 1t is rather difficult
to understand how much practical head
way can be made in improving the eco
nomic condition and work opportunities
of the half million or so young men and
women between the ages of sixteen and
twenty-five for whom the National
Youth Administration is to function.
Their condition, like that of their elders,
depends upon the condition of the
country.
The greatest step in behalf Of unem-
ployed youth, open, however. only to
young men, was the creation of the
Civilian Conservation Corps, originally
planned to admit those between the ages
of eighteen and twenty-five, now taking
in those up to twenty EIGHT years old
The expansion of the camps after the
first of the next fiscal year is expected
to make possible the eventual enlist
ment of about 100000, as compared with
the $4,000 now enrolled. The c. c. C..
was originally conceived as temporary;
it may still be construed as temporary,
but its success and popularity have given
it aspects Of permanency more solid
than other relief ventures.
The National Youth Administration,
however, is in no way connected with
the c. c. c. 1t is TO start with an
initial grant of $4,000, ,O0O-a sum so
small, viewed relatively, that its expendi-
ture represents a side issue. While there
are four main detectives outlined, sum-
med up as helping young men and
WOluCI W JOOo, WA
honal training and helping them through
high school and college, the broad idea
is evidently to centralize direction Of a
unified plan for the whole country in
aiding youth. State agencies will be
set up, working with advisory commit
tees of citizens, in the attempt to make
H. ,oln,. aA
The President asserts that "satisfac-
tory progress in setting up the work
program for the unemployed is being
made" and that removal Of unemployed
from relief to jobs should be well
under way during July" The youth-aid
movement is to supplement the larger
work-relief program. While there is
some comfort in noting that the Presi-
dent regards progress on this latter
program as satisfactory, it is to be hoped
the plans Of the National Youth Admin
istration will be more generally under
stood, more definite ard more effective
than has been the case so far in work.

Tawny day lilies make VIVID contrast
with green shrubbery at this time.
There is something extremely graceful
about the blooming habits of the entire
tribe of Hemerocallis-very old, but ex-
tremely new, with more than $50 hybrids
developed within recent years.
The man to whom much of this Is
due is Prof. A. B. Stout of the New
York Botanical Gardens, whose book on
the day lilies is the standard.
These were old favorites in grand
mothers garden, being called corn lilies.
A great many very modern persons,
especially those who come to the cities
from small country towns, may profess
to look with some disdain at these plants,
until they discover that they are the
every latest"
Yet there is no need at all for snob-
berry of any sort in connection with
them.
They are among the most beautiful
flowers we have, and the easiest to grow.
When they are discovered by all gar
deners the city will bloom with increased
interest and beauty for all.
Fl
The bright flowers at the end of very
long stalks, swaying in the breeze, yet
tough enough to stand wind and rain,
give real points of interest to any yard
If one has the money to get some of
the newer hybrids, the blooming season
may be extended through many weeks.
The older sorts, which are the cheap
est, are very beautiful, however, and
will satisfy most of us.
All the day lilies are free from IN
sectS-no small consideration in a day
when more and more pests of all kinds
are striking at our garden flowers.
Who would have thought a decade ago
that the gladioluS, king OF the garden,
would have been stricken with the thrip?
Yet during the past four years that
insect has wrought havoc among them,
SO that today many persons have given
up growing this lovely creation.
Much work has been done on the
gladioluS thrip by scientists all over the
country. There are various treatments
of bulbs, before planting, and fewer
treatments for growing plants afterward.
In time this problem will be solved,
but for some Of us the gladiolus will
never be quite the plant it was before
the thrip hit it.
We do not want to fool around treat
ing and spraying.
So we can fall back on the day lily.
Perhaps Nature will leave it alone. No
doubt its comparative freedom from dis
ease and pests is due in part TO the fact
that man has more or less let it alone.
1t will be interesting to see whether
the recent activities with these plants
leads, in few years. to the introduction
of pests.
We may hope not, and in the mean
time go ahead and enjoy them.
The name day lily was given because
the blossoms lasted only day. New
ones open each morning, however, so,
all in all, the plants offer about as much
as flowers which stay in good shape
longer.
And there is something eminently airy
and happy about the blooms, nodding
on tall stalks above the good foliage.
The latter is low-not more than
foot and a half or two feet tall-but
the spikes or stalks stand four to five
feet high.
All the day lilies, and especially Hem
erocallis fulva, or tawny day lily, love
part shade. -.-- ,...
They make excellent flowers for shady
gardenS-in fact, there is none better.

Back to Earth.

1t Is possible that Senator Pat Harri-
son and some of his administration col
leagues in the House and Senate are
wondering today whether there was ever
any special message on taxes from the
White House; whether there was ever
hurried conference of leaders at the
White House last Monday evening, or
whether these and the other frantic
comings and goings of the past week
were merely disturbing dreams.
At any rate, there seems to have been
a general awakening, an end to the tenn
porary confusion Of effort and ideas, re-
turn to the orderly processes traditionally
associated with the serious business Of
raising revenue through imposition of
new and heavy tax burdens.
1t is we'll that 1t is so and 1t is more
important that this is now the case than
it is to conjecture on the reasons for
the spectacle of haphazardness to which
the country has been treated In the past
few days.
The business of framing new revenue
laws is back where it belongs-in the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House. While it still seems to be the
case that the new tax program is desired
for the present session, there has been
an end to the unseemly and unreason-
able haste which, in the beginning,
threatened to mark consideration Of
these new taxes.
And now, as the House Ways and
Means Committee gets down to brass
tacks, there may be logical explanation
of The full intent of the new revenue
measures. Are they planned at this time
to produce a part of the sorely needed
funds to begin paying for vast recovery
expenditures? Are they introducing
new program Of taxation designed even
tually to bring about some balance in
the Nations budgetingP Will they be
accompanied by lessening of expendi-
lures? Or are they. as widely interpreted,
intended as an answer to the Share
the Wealth" shouters and the Soak the
Rich" advocates?
In the process of hearings on the pro-
posed tax measures some answers to
such questions may be developed. At
the same time, there is to be opportunity
for studying, not only rates, but effects
of proposed new levies. And If Congress
chooses to stay here all this Summer in
working out new program of taxation,
the time thus occupied will not be
too much.

tunately, will persist that some nations
may find it legitimate to indulge in that
"frightfulness" at sea to which the
Germans reserted. 1t is altogether un-
likely that the menace Of the submarine
can ever be removed except by its utter
abolition through international agree
