as gall! The many nut hunters Of the
open spaces learn their lessons very
quickly. The quinine taste is just as
Objectionable to their appetites as it
is to us. With such canny protec-
ton, the bitternuts' children lie un-
molested on the ground or unharvested
on the tree. So when the nuts are
ripe, the thin husk with the easily
seen winged seams, opens to release
the inch-long fruit. 1t may rest on
the ground near its mother. where
leaves and soil will blanket it. And
pretty soon a fine group Of sturdy
little bitternuts will be growing in the
swamp.
The choice spots, according to Bit
ternut tradition, are in woods or
swamps where there is plenty of
moisture for the roots. In these loca-
tions many a handsome specimen. so
or even 100 feet high, may be found.
With its straight trunk, sturdy
branches and dainty twigs, you may
travel long way to find more strik-

PARLEY TO STUDY
HOUSING CHANGES.
Building Experts to Confer
March 81 on Present
Tendencies.

Just how styles in houses are chang-
ing and what the indications are as to
the future will be revealed by build
ing experts at a conference to study
present trends in home building the
evening of March 81 in the Willard
Hotel.
The Washington meeting, sponsored
by the Portland Cement Association,
Is arranged especially for architects,
contractors, building and loan officials,
real estate developers and others pro-
fessionally interested in housing.
Scores of pictures of fireSafe, ter
mite proof concrete houses built in re-
cent months will be exhibited. Many
of these are in the low and medium
price class. Some have the traditional
pitched roof and others are of the
modern flat-roof type. All embody the
newest technique in construction, in
cluding concrete walls and floors.
Much of the discussion at the meet
ing will center around the question OF
how builders are going to satisfy the
popular demand for flresafe, termite-
proof houses at a price within the
reach of the family in moderate cir
cumstances.
I Details of the most recent technical
developments in housing, some OF
which show economy over old methods
will be put at the disposal of Washing
ton builders.

present time. At least 90 per cent OF
the associations making insured mort
gage loans are members Of the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank system, many
of which are important Federal saw
ings and loan associations.
Building and loan associations did
not leap into this insured mortgage
field without looking" Mr.. Mcdonald
said. "They studied the entire prop
osition most thoroughly before asking
for approval as mortgages under the
national housing act. Very few asso-
Citations asked for approval within
the first few months after the mutual
mortgage insurance plan was estab-
lished. The number began increas-
ing last Summer and continued to
increase rapidly until, now in some
States, they are taking the lead which
had been held by commercial banks.
This active participation in the
long-range mutual mortgage insurance
program by the building and loan
associations is most gratifying. 1t Is
proof that these associations con-
slider the single mortgage program
sound and workable, and building
and loan men are specialists in this
type of investment"

smooth, grayish-brown bark fits
closely, and the pale yellowish brown
color of the twigs is a pleasing con-
trast.
In late April, see how the eager
pointed buds, dressed in yellow, are
all ready to burst their bounds.
The compound leaves, 6 to 10 inches
long, composed Of 7 to II leaves, re-
mind you very much of their willow
neighbors. Their bright green hue,
with a paler shade for lining, mingle
beautifully with the green flowers that
arrive at the same time.
We have so many other lovely orna-
mental trees that we have sometimes
overlooked the possibilities of the bit
ternut. 1t has just as commendable
virtues-it grows quickly, has few
enemies, is attractive the year round
and lives to a ripe old age. So do
your good turn for conservation and
plant a bitternut youngster or two in
a spOt you wish to improve. Or gather
a handful of the round nuts and help
them get a start in life.

Troy Libby Debate.

Last Saturday night the Libby debate
team met the Troy team in a practice
debate. The discussion was quite
spirited throughout and members OF
both teams did good work, which
showed both study and preparation.
The affirmative was upheld sshy Mary
Virginia Mount and Olive Stevens for
Libby, while Margaret Drew and Rutl,
johnson defended the negative for
Troy
The question debated was Resolved
that the several states should enact
legislation providing for complete
system of medical care available to
all citizens at public expense The
subject is one that is being discussed
very much at present by both the gov
eminent and the medical profession.
Also, it is one Of the most dehatable
that we have had for number Of
years.
No definite arrangements have been
made, but it is probable that Libby will
uphold the negative at Troy some time
this week or the early part of next
week.

Public Speaking Class.

& z b..
Although the public speaking class is
the smallest class in the school, it is
really one of the most valuable courses
offered.
1t is under the direction of Miss
Thompson, who is also the debate
coach. In this class the students gain
practical experience in the art Of ad-
dressing the public. Carelessness in The
use Of spoken English and improper
enunciation are probably two of the
most common faults characteristic of
the American people In this course,
emphasis is placed on correct gram
NAUTICAL usage and proper enunciation.
A certain great man once said that it
lis wonderful and rare experience to
hear the English language spoken as
it should be.
Any course which results in the stu
dents mastery Of correct English and
sef-expression is undoubtedly worthy
Of pursuit.
