Coral Makers

Coral is not rock. 1t Is made of
skeletons. 1t is really an animal
something like a sea -anemone Jelly
like and soft and Of olive brown color.
1t has many tentacles round Its mouth,
and when It has caught Its food 1t
floats it through its body on stream
Of water, which 1t Is continually suck
ing in. This sea water contains lime
and somehow the coral animal draws
the lime from the water and uses 1t
to build tiny platform for 1t to rest
on. Gradually it makes a home for
itself out of lime, and in that it lives
till it dies. Then the next coral ami
NAL comes along and builds It's lime
shell on top of the old one, and SO on.
After thousands of years billions of
these creatures will have made a huge
mass of lime, which may come above
the surface of the sea and make a
coral island. The Great Barrier Reef.
off Australia, is hundreds of miles
long, yet every inch Of 1t was made
by these tiny creatures.

Golden Plover Fastest
FLYER in Crossing Sea

The routes of the different migra-
tory birds are as varied as the birds
themselves Some fly down the Allan
tic coast to Florida where they stop
awhile in the tropics before continu-
ing their over-water hops to South
America. Others fly down the Missis-
sippi valley and continue southwark
across the Gulf of Mexico This route
is, in fact, one of the most important,
1t being reported to the biological sur
vey that during nearly eight months
of the year, literally night after night,
the air is filed with countless thou
sands of the migrating hordes, bound
for their unseen destinations.
The speed of migrating birds varies
greatly. Some never stop, either by
day or by night, until their destina-
ton is reached. Others loiter lazily
along, feeding as they go. The fastest
time made by any bird on its mlgra-
tory flight is that of the golden plover,
a sea bird. This intrepid traveller
leaves its summer home in Nova Sco-
tia and without stop, flying almost
entirely over water, comes to rest In
South America in a little over three
days and three nights.
Strangely enough, this same golden
plover in returning to Nova Scotia in
the spring follows an entirely differ
ent route from the one used In the
fall. Instead of flying northward across
the Atlantic, it starts westward across
the Andes mountains, then up the
coast until it passes over Central
America. Continuing northward, the
plover spans part Of the Gulf of Mex
leo and flies back to its nesting
grounds by way Of the Mississippi
river valley.

American Was Inventor
of Engraving Process

The steel engraving industry owes
Its success in producing postage
stamps and banknotes to the ingenuity
of Jacob Perkins Of Massachusetts,,
who invented process for transferr-
Ing designs from the original die to
a steel plate, says writer in the
Chicago Tribune. In this process all
of the characteristics which make line
engraving the pre-eminent method Of
reproducing designs are retained and
the resulting prints are as much gen.
uine engravings as though the entire
plate of several hundred subjects had
been entirely engraved by hand. To
engrave the individual stamp subjects
on plate would be sprohibitive from
a standpoint of cost and time.
Perkins saw his method made OBJ
lgatory in banknote printing and In
1919 on the advice of the British min
lister went to England to explain the
process to the officials of the Bank of
England. Here he had less success, but
knowing the merits of his invention
he organized company to exploit the
idea in London. Upon the advent Of
the postage labels invented by a Lon
don concern, the firm became contrac-
tors for their manufacture. Thus the
first postage stamps, although an Eng
hsh invention, were produced by an
American process which is still used
for all of the securities. paper money,
and stamps of the United States.

he declines to reveal it, and the table
of percentages for the States indicates
it must be a most flexible and erratic
one. 1t is said that the FERA has had
survey made Of the resources of the
several States, though that, too, has
not been made public.
Actually, the feeling of the State
officials is that this business of get
ting money from Mr.. Hopkins is es-
sentially horse-trading proposition
with Mr.. Hopkins having the last
word in the trade and all the advan-
tages. From his decision there is no
appeal. If he tells the State, after as
saying its total relief needs, that the
Government will provide sixty-fve
per cent, that means that if the State
does not provide it's thirty-five per
cent, Mr.. Hopkins can withhold all
Federal funds, thus putting the State
in an impossible position.
k&k
| The result is that while they may
and do resent Mr.. Hopkins not CIV
ing more, its representative have to
go back home and find new ways of
taxing it's citizens to raise its share.
Some of the states and cities have
been forced to go to extremes in the
matter of taxation to meet the Hop
kins requirements. They have been
driven into q sales tax, State income
taxes, higher taxes in every direction.
Because of relief burdens the Cover
nors and Legislatures of most of the
States in the Union today are strain
ing their ingenuity to discover new
forms of taxation for the citizens.
They must meet the Hopkins condi-
tions.
This is not written in criticism of
Mr.. Hopkins, who has a tremendous
job and probably does the best he can.
The point is that the power he has
over the States is an unprecedented
one, and it should at least be under
stood. 1t is a power which enables him
to take care, at will, of ninety-nine
per cent of the relief burdens of some
States and thirty three per cent in
some others. 1t is a power upon which
there are apparently no restrictions
or limitations. 1t is greater power
than any other head of Government
agency has ever had. 1t is more power
than any man ought to have in free
country without recognized formula
that everybody can understand.

The old ideas still exist that a big
head indicates great intellect and
receding chin a weak character. Both
of these distinctive features have to
do with the bony framework of the
body and bear no innate relation what.
ever to mentality or disposition, says
a writer in How to Live. It Is posi-
BILE, however that these notions affect
the attitude of parents, friends and
associates and react upon child, caus-
ing him sooner or later to adopt the
same point of view. The psychology In
volved tends to operate to the adj
vantage of the bg-heads and to build
up an inferiority complex in those
with the retiring chins. Early mental
influences play a great part In the
future of every individual.

cred desirable are as follows:
Bed Width Length

Know Facts About Quality
Price is not a reliable guide to quail
ity. Neither are the adjectives of adj
vertisements. Although there is much
to be feared about the best ways to
construct sheeting, it is recognized
that thread count, tensile strength, fill
ing or sizing, and weights are factors
in determining their durability.
Thread Count-The number of
yarns to the inch will indicate the
fineness and closeness of the weave.
The average number of warp or of
lengthwise yarns in sheet is 75,
while the average number of filling or
crosswise yarns is 81.
Sizing or Filling sizing
can be recognized by holding the
cloth over dark surface and rubbing
it vigorously between the two hands.
The filling will fall out as a fine pow
der on the dark surface. Since the
filling serves only to deceive the Gus
toner and adds nothing to the value
of the sheeting, ask the percentage
of filling present and choose sheeting
with little or no filling.
Weight-The weight of sheet is
important. 1t varies from about 81
to 5A ounces per square yard of
sheeting. In a heavily sized sheet the
weight may be misleading, as it will
include sizing as we'll as cotton.
Sheeting should be torn and not
cut into sheet lengths. If cut, the
sheets are often crooked after laun-
dering and the hens uneven and are
drawn. Make sure you get torn sheets.

THE GREAT
GAME OF

Power Over The States

rover over Inc States
There are a great many things
about the New Deal which have never
been fully grasped by the people.
Perhaps this is the chief reason so
many have been for it. One of these
things is the extraordinary extent to
which Federal domination of the So
called Sovereign States has been i'm
posed To call them that these days
is almost ridiculous.
#**
The best illustrations of this new
control is given in the person of Mr.
Harry L. Hopkins, director of the
FERA, through whom the Federal bill
lions for relief are distributed. 1t is
no exaggeration to say that in the
unrestricted ALLEGATION of the vast
sums in his hands, Mr.. Hopkins exer-
cises the power of taxation over the
States, than which there is no greater
power. That is the practical effect Of
his authority. And, in this direction,
it will be somewhat increased by the
Administrations old-age pension plan,
of which he is made director, with
fund of $125,OO0,OOO to distribute.
%S#
However, it is the far greater dis
tribution of relief funds which has put
Mr.. Hopkins in the position where he
can dictate to every Governor in every
State. The situation is simply and
easily stated. In every State the re-
lief problem is the overwhelmingly
important one. Since August, 1888,
when the Federal Government took
the burden over from the States, COM
PEELED the latter to accept Federal re-
lief standards and operate through
Federal personnel, the size and the
cost has greatly increased. Many
States verge on bankruptcy as a re-
suit. All are under great financial
strain. Mr.. Hopkins has been given
the money and the authority to help
each according to his judgment of
it's needs.
Under the restrictions laid down, no
State could possibly swing more than
a small part of the burden itself.
Federal help on big scale is essen
tial. Hence, every State has to go to
Washington, hat in hand, to Mr.. Hop
kins. Its Governor, Mayors, Senators
and public men hurry to his head
quarters, using every effort to cajole
and persuade him to treat their par
ticular State as generously as pos
sible.
No longer do Governors proudly
boast of the wealth and strength of
their States; of the high standing of
its bonds and the richness of its re-
sources. On the contrary, the game
with Mr.. Hopkins is to tell him how
poor, feeble and resourceless is the
particular Commonwealth they rep
resent, how completely sunk it will
be unless he saves it. As for Mr.. Hop
kins, he allocates the funds according
to formula of his own. At least, he
processes to have a formula, though
