= ALUTE the moth mullen when
next you meet her, for she has
mastered several important de-
- tails that assure her long life
and q prosperous one. This, of
course, is what any one would con-
cede as progress.
Your first glance at her during the
Summer convinces you that she is
handsome, though somewhat naughty
in her bearing. This is due to her
tall stalk. The lemon-yellow flowers
are along the upper part of the stem
and the very lovely gray-green FROST
like leaves are at the base. Upon ex-
animation you will find the leaves
very thick, and under a glass they
show o fretwork of sharp white
spikes. This at once explains the
reason cattle fight shy of the plant,
and why, no matter how hungry they
are, the mullen is passed by.
In the olden days, when rouge was
very scarce among the country bellies,
they used to gather the leaves and
rub their cheeks with them. They
had rosy cheeks at first. all right, but
the following day they had purple
ones, for the rasplike texture of the
leaves had played havoc with their
skins.
The mullen scores again by devel-
oping perfect root system. Her
leaves. it is true, store and hold mois-
ture during long continued droughts,
but her taproot goes well into the sub
soil, where food and water are easily
obtained.
This is not all the thrifty plant has
perfected in her battle for survival

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
To Die by Inches.

THEY that die by famine" wrote
Mathew Henry 81 the turn of the
eighteenth century, die by inches"
1t is, however, at the door of more
gruesome circumstances that we must
lay the origin of this expression.
To die or kill by inches comes to
us from methods of punishment that
were man-made rather than imposed
from above.
The allusion is to the various in
genious devices of medieval times,
conceived and calculated to prolong
the suffering of victim under tor
ture.
The individual so maltreated was
surely but ever so slowly killed, lit

THIS name was derived from the
Cornish, British and Gaelic words
for crag, rock or stone. 1t has been
a surname we'll known in Scotland
for many centuries. 1t is the name
of a parish in F'orfarshire and the
name of an estate in Perthshire
There is a locality in Ayrshire called
Craighead. and one encounters numer-
Gus parishes throughout Scotland
named Craigie.
The coat of arms here shown is
borne by Craigs in the United States,
a great many of whom are the de-
scendants of James Craig, who was
born in Scotland and came to Amer
lea about lit, settling in Philadel-
phia. He died in 1893 and is buried
in ST. Peters churchyard in Phila-
delphia. 1t is thought that he settled
in Philadelphia before 1850.
Another line of Craigs in America
was early established by Charles Craig,
who also settled in Pennsylvania. He
was born in the city of Dublin, Ire
land. about 1927, and it is recorded
that he owned considerable property
in ireland, principally in Monaghan
County.

and warned against the trend to con-

Speaking at the final session Of the

some II billion dollars annually shall
be taken from many and given to the
few, or whether the course shall be
in the opposition direction, is the
problem.
II not only believe there is an i'm

the trend to concentrate business in

Quoting chain store spokesman as
saying that distributing merchandise
through independent retailers is "as

Congress Member Tells Brooklyn
Veterans Veto Would Be

NEW YORK, May 9.-Representa-
tive Wright Patman of Texas pre-
dicted tonight presidential veto OF
the Patman bill for immediate cash
payment of the bonus would be over
ridden in both houses Of Congress.
The reason for his positive belief,
Patman said, was the fact that the
American Legion had now given the
bill its support
The Texas Representative made his
prediction in an address at the second
annual dinner of Company G, 106th
Infantry, of the World War Veterans
Association in Brooklyn.
"If the President in his wisdom
should decide to veto the Patman
bonus BILL" he said, 1--WE will still have
the necessary two-thirds to over
ride it.
"There is no question but what
there are enough supporters of the
bill in the House of Representatives
to override a veto, and I am con-
WINGED that the Senate will disagree
with the President should he take such
a course"

CAPITAL SELECTED
AS HEADQUARTERS
B'nai Birth Ends Sessions
Here by Re-eIecting A. M.
Cohen President.

Washington was overwhelmingly
selected as the permanent interna-
tlonal headquarters of B'nai Birth at
the closing session yesterday of the
orders fourteenth quinquennial con-
vention at the Willard Hotel. Election
Of officers also was held.
A resolution adopted ordered the
Executive Committee of the order to
establish headquarters here not later
than the time the Constitution Grand
Lodge convenes again. For the past
10 years, the headquarters has been
in Cincinnati, home Of President
Alfred M. Cohen, who was Reelected.
Another constitutional amendment
provided that the grand lodge hold
triennial conventions In the future,
thereby abolishing the f1ve-year con-
vention practice.
Other Officers Elected.
Besides Mr.. Cohen, officers elected
were Judge I. M. Golden of San
Francisco and Archibald A. Marx of
New Orleans, vice presidents; Louis
Fabricant, New York; Sidney G. Kus-
worm, Dayton, Ohio; Henry A. Alex
ander. Atlanta; Henry Monsky
Omaha, Nebr., and Joseph w. SaluS,
Philadelphia, members of the Execu-
tive Committee.
Adopting broader campaign
against racial discrimination, the B'nai
Birth voted that the efforts made by
the order and its Authorization
League in fostering good will between
religious groups be continued; that
committees on unjust discrimination
be set up in every important city to
cope with the problem of anti-Jewish
discrimination in industry and that an
Anti-Defamation League Office be es-
rabliShed in Canada, with paid ex-
ecutive secretary, to handle all anti
Jewish defamation in the Dominion.
1t was likewise voted that the Cana
dian Office be assisted financially by
having transmitted to it an amount
equal to the sum paid by B'nai Birth
members in that country to the emer-
gency relief fund.

semlnate birth-control information
when it is needed.
The decision to move the headquar-
tiers to Washington was made over tine
protest of President Cohen. To date
the headquarters of the fraternal or
der has been where the president re-
sided. B'nai Birth was founded In
New York City 81 years ago and the
headquarters remained there for sc
years. It was moved to Chicago ir
1905 and remained there until election
OF Mr.. Cohen in 1925.
B'nai Birth is the oldest and larg.
est international Jewish order, func'
tioning in 30 countries. There are
nearly 200 Aleph zadik Aleph chap
tiers in the United States. The order
voted in favor of changing the name
of the Constitution Grand Lodge, the
governing body Of B'nai Birth, to SUI

No corporate milkman has at

He knows that he can prosper

He endures and grows by SELL

If he breaks faith, his market
