Yucca.

All yuccaS are a hardy lot. They
are to be found in the arid wastes Of
the Mohave Desert, as well as in
Northwestern Arizona, Nevada and
Southern Utah. These have been
called Joshua" trees and were said
to be pointing the way from the bar
ren sands to places where food and
shelter could be obtained. It is said
the Mormons gave to them this name.
You never confuse this tree or the
plant size with any other species. There
were st one time forests Of them cover
ing the deserts, and 1t was thought
some use could be made Of them. But
the nature of the yucca forbade any
thing commercial. Its lumber was
worthless for real construction, and
only its leaves were fit for fuel. Some
one did conceive the idea of making
paper from it, but the cost was pro-
hibitive, and the paper not high-class
at that. 1t is now said that the yucca
plays a most humanitarian part in

seemed that way to the young Fox.
Who are you?" he replied.
This time the young Skunk paused.
He appeared to see the Bold One for
the first time. Have you seen any
fat Beetles?" he asked.
No" replied the young Fox. "If I
had 1 would have eaten them"
The young Skunk sighed. That's
too bad" said he. Il hoped you would
be able to tell me where I could find
Beetles tonight and SO far haven't
found one. If you'll just step aside,
think Ill keep on my way"
why should 1 step aSide?" inquired
the young Fox a little bit angri!y.
Because you are right in my way
and I want to keep on" replied the
young Skunk, and he spoke without
anger. He spoke in a most matter-of-
fact tone.
That is no reason why I should
step aside for you" retorted the young
Fox. Il am bigger than you are and
you should step aside for me-"
The fact that you are bigger than
I is no reason why should step aside
for you," replied the young Skunk.
"Oh, yes. it is" replied the young
Fox. Being bigger and stronger than
you can make you step aside"
Il wouldn't try it. if 1 were you"
replied the young Skunk mildly. NO,

What can you do about it if I do
try? Why shouldn't I, if want to?"
demanded the young Fox

wouldn't advise it, that's all. You
would be sorry for a long time after

1t was then that the young Fox
remembered. He remembered his
meeting with the seemingly harmless
young Porcupine. This fellow looked
harmless, but was he?

shall act ut all-may well depend,

ture OF the confidential information
which he has or may thereafter re-
ceive, or upon the effect which his
action may have upon our foreign
relations.
This consideration, in connection
with what we have already said on
the subject, discloses the unwisdom
OF requiring Congress in this field Of
Governmental power to lay down
narrowly definite standards by which
the President Is to be governed"
The court concluded its discvoion
on the question of the validity of the
grant Of legislative authority with the
assertion:
I'VE conclude there Is sufficient
warrant for the broad discretion vested
in the President to determine whether
the enforcement of the statute will
have a beneficial effect upon the re-
establishment of peace in the affected
countries; whether he shall make pro-
clamation to bring the resolution into
operation; whether and when the
resolution shall cease to operate and
to make proclamation accordingly,
and to prescribe limitations and ex-
ceptions to which the enforcement of
the resolution shall be subject"

to pass on an appeal by Robert Page

a decision by the Fourth Circuit

A similar five-year moratorium

ground it deprived creditors Of prop

knows. He greeted her and then per-
suaded her to pose with him In the

Secretary Mcintyre then introduced
the Governor to Frank Murphy. for

Seeks to Dispose of Actions
Blocking Federal Loans
:, for Power.

A move was made by Administrator
ickes today to bring to trial as quickly
as possible 50 law suits instigated by
private utility interests for 1.-The pur-
pose of blocking P. w. A. allotments
to communities desiring publicly owned
power plants or distribution systems"
His instructions to P. w: A. attor-
neys resulted from the Supreme
Courts recent technical decision re-
ferring the case Of the Duke Power Co.
versus Greenwood County, S. c., back
to District Court for retrial without
ruling on the merits of the case.
P. w. A. attorneys are comforting
with Justice Department representa-
tives on the So similar cases so that
pending litigation may be pushed to
. rapid conclusion, Ickes said. The
direct purpose of the P. w. A. move
is to bring one of the cases to trial
Immediately.
Allotments totaling $52,270, 800 were
made to communities for projects
now held up by litigation. All these
allotments were made pursuant to the
nv VI SoAASAcoc PloNAAAiS Iva SAiCA
gency construction in order to reduce
unemployment. Impending litigation
and injunctions so far have prevented
these allotments from fulfilling that
purpose.
The first of these cases, set for trial
March 1 in District Court, involves
the Dallas Power g. Light Co., Gulf
States Utilities Co., Houston Lighting
& Power Co.. Texas Electric Service
Co.. Texas Power & Light Co. and
Texas Utilities Co., which are attempt
Ing to restrain P. w. A. officials from
lending money to the Lower Colorado
River Authority.
Notice also was given to utility liti-
giants in South Carolina that the Gov
eminent expects, on February !, to
try the case in that State restraining
Federal aid to the South Carolina pub
lie service authorities. The Govern
nent likewise is asking trial of Ne
braska cases on February % in the
local district court.
A mandate on the Duke case has not
yet been handed down by the Supreme
Court, but the Government hopes soon
to retry the case in District Court, so
It may be returned to the high tribunal
In an acceptable form.
