wisconsin, of permitting individual COM
pany reserves for unemployment insur-
ance, as well as the pooling method by
which all companies pay their pay roll
taxes into q common State fund. from
which benefits are paid. regardless Of
the amounts of the company contribu-
lions or the source of unemployment.
Under the pool system company which
protects its employees, and which has a
low labor turnover, will be assessed at
the same rate as the company which
makes no provision and little effort to
guard against lay-offs of its personnel.
Under the company reserve plan, the
company which stabilizes its employ
ment is rewarded, when its reserves have
reached a fixed amount per employe, by
the benefits of pay roll tax reduction.
But the Senate also went to curious
lengths of liberality by adopting the
Russell amendment. This amendment TO
the section providing for aid to the needy
aged-not to be confused with the old
age pensions-is contradictory in prin-
ciple and certain to be the source OF
later difficulties. The bill originally pro-
vided that the Federal Government
would grant aid-on the $3.50 basis
to those States which provide their own
assistance to the needy aged. The BUS
sell amendment provides that the Fed
eral Government shall, for two years,
grant Federal aid funds to States which
have not yet enacted their own laws.
There are about fifteen such States.
But they will find little inducement to
enact their own fund-matching laws II
the Federal Government is to make
grants to them regardless. And while
the Russell amendment is for two years
only, such liberality by the Federal Gov
eminent has q way of continuing in
definitely, once begun.

Templeton Jones stood In his garden,
looking down at the borage plant.
He thought he knew at last why the
ancients believed that a wreath Of the
leaves would bring courage to the wearer.
The relation between the borage and
courage is almost as old as mankind.
Just why, however, nobody seems to
know.
Many centuries ago the idea of mel
ancholy" was very prevalent; the glad
dening of the heart" was a subject as
much under discussion among the peo-
pies of old as the common cold" is
among us of today.
For some reason or other the bor-
age-a plant somewhat resembling a
fine, vigorous buTdock-was supposed to
have the virtue" of giving courage to
those who wore it or drank an infusion
of its leaves.
AS Templeton Jones felt the great,
crinkly leaves, covered with stiff hairs,
he believed he knew.
1t took courage to wear those things
around the browl
A chaplet Of those prickly leaves would
mean that man had courage to begin
with, just to put it on, so that the attain
ment of the quality would be easy.
Perhaps many Of the myths Of man
kind had no more real reason for being,
Often enough, when one is reading
about ancient superstitions, one wonders
how on earth such ideas ever arose.
Many plants were given the reputa-
ton, in the old days, Of contributing to
the merriment Of the heart, making the
mind glad and In other ways fortifying
the attributes of character.
Perhaps their regulations along these
lines rested on no more than the belief
of some one person who, having so used
them, happened to be helped or, at least,
thought he was SO helped.
Probably he was good advertiser and
spread the fame Of his chosen plant
among others who, trying it out, found
help, too.
Often it is easy to find the good points
of something when one honestly Is look
ing for them.
The ego Of the human spirit is such
that the moment one goes to the trouble
of buying thing, especially when it is
thoroughly expensive, one is very likely
to find the good qualities sought.
Did not one put the preliminary sane
ton on it by acquiring it? Then how
can it be bad?

Templeton Jones was intrigued with
his lordly borage plant.
Some one has described the borage as
"sullen" in appearance, but Jones did
not think the adjective very fitting.
1t is, rather, jolly looking plant, for
all of its large leaves or, perhaps, even
because of them.
Every time Jones looked at his borage
he thought of King Henry VIII, whose
fame suddenly was revived recently by
several popular histories of his activities,
particularly marital.
While there is plant of another fam
lily popularity called "the good King
Henry" surely Henry VIII cannot be
the monarch; probably it is Henry II
who is meant.
Yet there is something jolly about the
borage which reminded our gardener,
as perhaps it has many another, of a
jolly fat man.
Let us say FalStaff.
There is character for you-probably
more honored on paper today than on

ssPerfdiOus AlbiOn?"

If Great Britain imagined that her
naval deal with Germany, perfected IN
cynical disregard of the treaty OF YER
sailles and the susceptibilities OF other
powers, would evoke no remonstrance'
London must be disillusioned by the
emotions its action has aroused in France
and Italy. In both countries resentment
is intense and outspoken. 1t is not con-
fined to mere protest, but finds express
sion in proposed retaliatory action bound
to have profound effects upon the en-
tire European situation, political, military
and naval.
No one, apparently, has yet gone the
length of publicly denouncing Britain as
"perhdious Albion" but between the lines
of French and Italian comment is a dis
tinct undercurrent of suggestion that
the British have betrayed their con-
tinental friends in covenanting with Hit
Ter behind their backs to restore Ger
MANY to the rank of a first-claSS naval
power. French and Italian criticism
pillories Great Britain not only for dis
rupting European solidarity, recently
fashioned at Stresa, but for venturing,
solely of her own bat, to assign the
Nazs a ratio of strength at sea which,
while safeguarding British interests, CAL
louslv leaves out of account the security
of Germany's other neighbors. Nor does
the Baldwin government escape rebuke
for disregarding the League OF Nations
and its supposed prestige as the guardian
of international treaty rights.
In defense of their private understand
ing with the Germans, the British con-
tend they have paved the way to further
international naval limitation. Nothing
coming out of Paris or Rome supports
that rosy alibi. France is already dis
cussing an enlargement Of her fleet,
made necessary by the Anglo-German
agreement, which is held to wreck the
1922 Washington treaty. Italy, too, is
talking expansion. Increases in the
French and Italian fleets would, OF course,
impel Britain to lay down additional
ships, while Germany's quota of IS per
cent of British strength would auto
matically permit her to build more ex-
tensively. In the face of such develop
ments the United States and Japan
would not be idle. Soviet Russia already
feels called upon to meet the German
r,,anace in the Baltic
Politically, the Anglo-German compact
threatens to drive France and Italy into
each others arms. The French press is
discussing the ACCESSIBILITY Of Franco
Italian alliance, "a Latin friendship"
to counteract the new naval entente,
and advocates, specifically and immedi-
ateIy, French support of Italy's plans
in Abyssinia. Similar sentiments find
utterance in Mussolini's press. All in
all, it is painfully apparent that the
British, in their zeal to fortify them
selves against a new German naval peril,
have precipitated a situation that may
lead to grave and unsupported conse-
quences.
Two things are fairly certain-disarm-
ament has received q knockout blow
along with the treaty of Versailles, and
the solid front which Europe only few
weeks ago was presenting against Ger
man pretensions is smashed beyond rec
ignition.

Who might undertake
To be the poSsessor
OF all we can make
BY toll or directing
Some fortunate plan.
We're mostly respecting
That old weather man.
Though some one satanic
May threaten and jeer,
We feel no such panic
As surely draws near
When the Heavens above us
He calls us to scan.
He doesn't seem to love us
That old weather man.
He makes his prediction
And tells us anew
He leaves this conviction
The worst will come true.
The farm or the city
Must fall meath his ban.
He shows us no pity

wing" leadership. The latter body Is not
affiliated with the A. r. Of L. BY virtual
amalgamation Of the membership the
radicals of the trade would become afni-
ates. The test Of the mandate Just
given by Mr.. Green viii be in the deci-
sion Of the status Of the now afiliated
organization, after the inclusion Of the
Communists in its membership.
The words common 'front.'" employed
in the Toronto action, have a sinister
meaning. 1t is used in all radical move
ments which seek to combine the forces
which are working for the overturn OF
the American Government. That such is
their purpose is not to be doubted. 1t
is, indeed, frankly stated by the more
outspoken and determined leaders. There
is no concealment of the design to de-
stroy the present Federal system.
This is not a cry Of wolf, wolff" 1t
is a very definite menace. Organized
labor is only one of the agencies of action
which the radicals seek to employ, but
the most important and potentially Ell
fective. In the recent general strike
in San Francisco the purpose of those
promoting it was to engage all the organ
lied workers into common front" for
the paralysis Of the activities Of business
and industry as means of precipitating
social chaos. It's defeat was victory
for the State as now established.
The newly proclaimed principle OF
anti-communism in the ranks Of the A.
F. of L. will be a means Of defeating
this malevolent design if it is stoutly
and unf1inchingly maintained.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

the stage. Maybe the world has lost its
taste for making sport Of fat men. Even
Shakespeare did not let the quality Of
ridicule run away with him, by any
means, but gave to his fat hero many
good quality.
Maybe he wore a borage wreath, at
least at times.
The blue flowers of the borage are
somewhat star-shaped, not nearly as
large as one might expect, from the size
of the leaves, and have black antherS
which make a beauty spot for the flower.
The arrangement of the pretty flowers
on the flower spike is interesting, the
whole being given spirelike or bell
tower resemblance.
Bees of all kinds love the borage
flowers.
They are said to yield an especially
good honey.
1t was interesting for Jones to watch
one exceptionally yellow bee-probably
wasp Of some type-wing its way from
flower to flower on the spike.
The outline of the entire plant Is
interesting, forming almost a perfect
triangle, with its base on the ground
and the blue flower at the peak.
If any one does not understand how
plant can form a triangle with the
ground, let him grow borage next Spring
and find out.
This plant prefers plenty Of sun, in
common with many of the so-called
herbs.
It is an annual, but so self-seedS itself
IL will come I'D every wear
No doubt it will be found too weed
like for some, but surely those who ap-
preciate the unusual will take it to their
horticultural hearts.
Some plants seem to suffer at times
from a sort of wilt, but since many Of our
common garden ornamentals are in the
same boat, this is nothing much against
the growing Of the borage.
The main thing to keep in mind is to
plant the seed early, or to set out pur-
chased plants as early as possible.
Not later than the last Of April is best
for the latter.
Templeton Jones had two plants, one
the large one instanced here, planted
about May 1, and another planted about
the last of May.
The first one set out grew nobly and

admiration on its scratchy head.
The second, planted too late, has
bloomed, but the height of the plant is
not third of the other, and the leaves,
in particular, are nothing exceptional.
The borage is a plant whose leaves,
properly grown, constitute one of its
real charms. The leaves of the second
plant were not in the same class with
those of the former. The main stalk
was not more than a third of an inch
in diameter, whereas the stalk of the
good plant was an inch and a half
through.
It may be realized that the borage,
well grown, is considerable of plant,
and not lacking in that elusive appeal
of beauty which every garden plant
ought to have. 1t does not possess the
fragile spike of the Veronica, or the
dainty flowers of the feverfew, but its
great leaves and odd blue blossoms give
it a certain charm of its own. When
the history Of the plant is added, to-
gether with the legend that has clustered
around it since antiquity, We have a
plant which richly deserves to be grown
in our gardens today.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Singing in the Dusk

In city park under blowing trees,
When all the town was roaming.
Children at play In q sporttve breeze
Sang In the early cleaning.
The song Of o game used to sing
AS child in twilights shady,
OF a falling bridge, in q dancing ring,
And fare-ye-well, my lady.
I heard the song with q laugh and
froWn,
As warm winds sent me honing;
SO many bridges tumble down
For those who go a-roamingl
The children went dancing on to sup
From parkways green and shady,
Singing, Brick and mortar build them
up.
