During recent years sat differen.
soirit has been abroad in the land.
The present-day philosophy is that
people have a right to material COM
fort: that they are entitled to more
abundant life, whether or no they
labor diligently to earn IT.
To this end the New Deal has
greatly extended the interference Of
the Government in economic mat
tiers. 1t has carried on numerous and
ill-conceived experiments: 1t has i'm
posed many burdens on private in
dustry: 1t ha even entered into COM
petition with certain types Of private
enterprise: II has discouraged initia-
tive. self-reliance. and thrift. qualities
that have helped to make this nation
what il is: and. worst Of all, II has
weakened the moral fibre of the peo-
pie by encouraging them to become
dependent unon the Government
The opponents of the New Deal ask
US to consider whether individually
we are not better off from material
standpoint than we were before the

The American Federation of Labor

The American Federation of Labor
which has just closed its convention in
Tampa, characterized its host city as "a
city where civil liberties have been most
seriously and persistently violated" Tampa
had such criticism coming to her, and the
Tribune says that it is unfortunately true
that Tampa must plead guilty to the
charge. 1t is now up to the west coast city
not to remain passive under the circum-
stances but to see that these violations do
not occur again and if any should occur,
the good citizenship of the community
must not allow the preparations to go un-
punished.

Practical DandeIiOn
Has What 1t Takes
To Attain Success

DANDELIONs are probably among
~ the hardest and most practical
plants living.
They have mastered all the ordi-
nary tricks of the flower trade-they
are efficient, beautiful, economical and
sturdy. What's more. they are self
sufflcient. receiving much help from
the insects, but needing none.
Hard, dry ground, burning sun or
dark shade, the munching Of cattle,
the gardeners knife-all Of these
scarcely disturb the merry little dan
delion, which grows gaily on from a
bit Of its tough root. or from any OF
million seeds.
But in spite of all Of these stout
abilities, the dandelion practices all
the prudent habits of the most eau
tious flowers.
The juices Of its stem are bitter
tasting against appetites Of many
creatures who might otherwise do it
much harm.
It flashes its golden flower head SO
early in the Spring that it wins an
advantage. like the early bird, over
later comers. for it attracts all the
freshly -wakened, hungry insects. 1t
generously offers a feast of nectar
even to those insects that are ham,
pered by short tongues and could not
drink from deep-throated flowers.
And it has a splendid program for
receiving insect visitors. Those visit
ing the flower early in the day brush
the pollen from it and carry it of, but
the flowers are so closed that no pollen

SUGAR Trick VIII
Entertain Friends
At Dinner Table
By Thomas the Maeician.

Dy HOmUS VIC A0SttbUbs
TMPROPMTU magic is one Of the
most interesting divisions Of the
study Of magic and its kindred arts.
It Is magic which can be performed
on the spur Of the moment without
the least bit Of preparation. Magic
done at the dinner table is such q
form Of impromptu entertainment.
For example, today will introduce
you to magnetic sugar"
Effect: The performer. while at the
dinner table, nonchalantly shows two
Jumps of sugar. He very carefully
places one lump on top Of the other
and snaps his fingers above them.
Next he picks up the top lump. and
to the astonishment of all, the lower
lump adheres to the one on top!
Explanation: To perform this trick,
put a little dab Of butter on the lump
of sugar which you intend to use for
the one on top. COT course this is
done while the spectators attention
is centered elsewhere) After you
have done this, call attention to the
two Jumps; no one will see the but
ter, and when the upper lump Is set
on the lower, they will stick together.
An added touch is to drop the two
humps into q cup Of coffee If one Is
handy. BY doing this the magician
destroys all evidence which might give
him away. And anyway, q little but
ter will not affect the flavor Of the
coffee!

Tuna Fish Leaps at Barbless Hook
When SardineS Are Used for Bait
Hard. Fast Work Re.
Qmired to Bring Catch
Back to Canneries.
By C.. F. Greeves.Carbenfer.

By C.. F. Greeves.Carbenfer.
LOWLY, silently, a small boat
crept down near the shore of
Magdalena Bay In Lower Cali
- fornia. All lights were out
and 1t behaved very much like a YES
sci in wartime about to land a spy on
the eneny's shore. That, however, was
not its purpose.
1t was one Of the tuna fishing feet
out hunting for bait. Sardines are
used for that purpose and the tuna
boat silently cruises until its lookout
sights large area Of phosphorescence
in the water. Then an 1,800-foot net
is paid out slowly from the aft end of
the vessel as she is slowly maneuvered
around the place where the sardines,
by their darting about. make the waves
seem aight with phosphorescence.
Then the net Is drawn in and the bait
deposited in live-flsh tanks on the
vessel. Here they are kept, with fresh
sea water continually pumped through
the tanks.
With its two bait tanks full, the tuna
boat will head southwark in search of
school of tuna. 1t may be days be-
fore such a school is sighted. Some
times these boats get away down be-
low Panama before, one day, the look
out cries from his perch in the crows
nest, "Tun! Tuna!"
WORK is Immediately stopped and
w all hands rush for the heavy,
short poles with which the tuna are
caught. The live sardines are re-
leased from their tanks into the sea,
where the hungry tuna pounce on
them. Unfortunately for them, how
ever. they are so eager that they also
pounce on the barbless hooks of the
fishermen, who haul them aboard with
great skill. This is heavy work and
fast work The school does not seem
to notice the loss of its missing men,
bers, but continues to try to eat the
hooks. the sardines or anything else
that flashes through the water. Sud-
denly, though. there is lull. The fish
scurry away and the ocean continues
its peaceful, lazy roll.
After the hard job Of landing the
fish the fishermen have to store their
catch in the hold Of the vessel. First
comes a layer Of ice. then a layer Of
fish. another layer of ice and another
layer of fish, and so on until the en-
tire catch has been iced down in safe
keeping for the journey back to the
home port. The decks are cleaned and
the boat made shipshape again. Then
the cruise continues, for the school
did not stay long enough to give the
fishermen a full load, and the boat
seldom puts back without full cargo
| Of tuna.
DAYS may 90 by before another
school is sighted. Then, perhaps
in the middle Of lunch below, the look
outs cry may be heard. and all hands
are up on deck in the flash Of an eye.
For this Is business and eating can
wait. Captain, engineer, everybody
joins in the work, for full hold means
q quick return home.
1t is not all plain sailing, however.

ing, It Is again cleaned and all the
dark meat removed. leaving only the
white fish. Thus only about third
Of the tuna is actually put up in cans.
But before it gets to the cans 1t Is
placed on wooden trays and inspected,
and the trays then pass under an auto
matte cutting machine which slices
the fish to the required thickness for
the cans. 1t is then carefully packed
by hand and weighed so that each
can has exactly the some weight Of
fish.
The cooking makes the tuna rather
dry, so oil and salt are next added
before the cans are passed to the cap
ping machine. This machine stamps
each can with a special code number
which, If necessary. will disclose the
locality in which the fish was caught.
the name of the boat, the date, and
all other important details.
The sealed cans are next washed.
rinsed, and loaded in cars for o ANAL
sterilization cooking in large steam
cookers. When this operation Is COM
pleted they are ready for shipment
all over the country.
Think Of the adventure and ro-
nance packed into can of tuna the
next time you have tune salad.
Think of all the sciences which are
involved in its production. Not 50
many years ago it would have been
impossible for some Of the cities in
the interior of our country to have
tuna caught in the South Seas. There
were very limited refrigeration facili-
ties for shipping and the canning OF
fish was not on such q sound basis
as at present. Nowadays, every can
merry has to pass State inspection
to make sure that we all may eat
canned food that is in perfect condi-
ton.

Those visiting the flower later in the
day are welcomed more warmly, and
the pollen they bring on their legs
and wings is admitted by the flower.
In this way the dandelion's day Is ef-
ficiently divided into hours for send

Yet for all these precautions, ex-
