In Arkansas Senator Robinson full
filled the expectation of his friends by
leaving his Townsend opponent far be-
hind. In the race for the seat of the
late Speaker Byrns in the fifth Tennes-
see district, Townsendite, Richard M.
Atkinson, nosed out his opponent by a
margin of thirteen votes. AS Mr.. Atkin-
son has been compared with the late
Huey p. Long, however, it is not certain
whether the Long or the Townsend in
fluence was responsible for the thirteen
winning votes. In Florida Charles o.
Andrews won the nomination to fill the
unexpired term of the late Senator
Park Trammel and he is described as
an advocate of the Townsend plan. His
friends here, however, have known him
best as teacher, State Senator, judge
and a conservative fellow generally and
his advocacy of the Townsend plan has
brought him no particular prominence.
Coming after the Kansas primaries
last week, when every Townsendite
candidate save one was defeated by q
Republican or a Democrat, the Town
send threat does not seem to "loom," as
the headliners have it, quite so large.

the United States were summarized by
Spaniards in the words: Gangsters,
lynchings, graft, drought. jazz bands,
walkathon contests, automobile acci-
dents, the Townsend plan and the num-
bers racket. Would the resultant ver-
dict be accurate? OF course it would
not! And the same observation may be
made with regard to Spain as a land
principally characterized by brigands,
bull fights, guitars, mantillas, bomb
throwers, castanets, incessant revolu-
tions, persistent beggars, universal
thievery, professional Don Juans and
that type of procrastination known by
the name of "manana."
Doubtless every country has its "black
legend" but if so, the fact is deplorable.
A nation, it would seem, should be cele-
brated for its best aspects, not for its
worst. 1t surely serves no useful pur-
pose to consent to the traduction of any

slandered planet.

Penalty of Fame.

If any man ever deserved prize, that
man Is John H. Hunter, who has won
the Washington American Automobile
Associations safe driving contest. In
the thirty-two years he has been driving.
Mr. Hunter is reputed to have covered
100000 miles without any unpleasantness
with the Police Department, without any
blot of any kind on his driving
escutcheon.
That is something for any man to be
proud of, and if there were more John
H. Hunters behind the steering wheels
of our automobiles today this would be
far happier world. But while con-
graduating MIR. Hunter, this is the occa-
sion also for the exercise of pardonable
skepticism regarding his future as a
safe driver. 1t is the time, in other
words, to knock on wood. For by win
ming the safe driving contest, Mr.. Hunter
has increased manifold the hazards
One may envy him as the successful
winner of safety contest, but not his
position now as the man who won a
safety driving contest. From this time
forward danger to that record will lurk
in thousand different forms. An Ill
natured policeman, a fender-scraping
taxi driver, horn-blowing idiot, a
dreamy young man with girl on his
mind-these, one fears, are only few
of the forms that demons will take in
their zest to deprive Mr.. Hunter of his
hard-won trophy.
May he survive another 100000 miles
in health and happiness! But it might
be safer to quit driving.

as soon as the apples start to rot, but
there are traces of it as long as any ripe,
sound substance remains.
Tests showed that the gas-producing
material is in the flesh of the apple.
No such effects can be found when pota-
toes are exposed to skin or seeds alone.
Cider does not give out the paralyzing
gas, but some results can be noted with
ground pulp. Two other fruits. pears
and hawthorne berries, seem to emit the
gas as well as apples. No effect could
be obtained with bananas, onions,
oranges or sweet potatoes. The gas
emission does not seem to be affected
by the variety of apple or pear.
Several gases besides ethylene, DR..
Elmer reports, might act in ways SIM

tests serve to eliminate them. The
mitogenetic ray hypothesis, while it can
not be entirely disproved. appears to be

explain the phenomenon. There is no

exist. The most careful tests have left
experts in doubt. On the other hand, it
is reasonable to expect that gases would

"kick" out of their daily observation.
Often the bird enthusiast will stop to
realize that this occupation, which SO
interests him, Is utterly or practically
unknown to most of his neighbors.
They are satisfied with their automo-
biles, their radios, and SO on.
What are few birds to them?
And they are right-for them-until
something or other turns their minds
birdward, then they, in their turn, will
stop now and then to wonder how it was
that they did not know before how inter-
esting this pursuit could be.
Especially the booklover should turn
to birds, for there are many charming
works about them, all illustrated with
colored paintings of the most delightful
nature.
Even books on flowers and the like
cannot vie, as far as colors go, with
the books on birds.
Then to correlate these pictures with
the real birds in your own garden
isn't that happy occupation for mind
and eye and heart, the great trio?

If you see a little nondescript bird
perched on a dead branch, waiting
eagerly, make up your mind that it may
be the wood pewee.
Then listen for its cry.
If it says "pee-a-wee," as plain as
anything, be sure Of him.
This cry is given with rising infection,
a question as surely as any bird can
utter it.

members, in hearing the cries of other
creatures, will do their utmost to wrest
them to language as the world Of men
knows it.
While this attempt is natural, and
laudable, in q sense. since it is built
solidly on the good rock of interest and
admiration, it is wrong in another, since
it means nothing at all, in so many
cases, to any one else.

But this "pee-a-wee' Interpretation is
good, because it does. in many ways
give any reader good idea of the cry.
The notes are soft, rather shy in ex-
preston, with Wistful quality all their
own.
1t is not repeated often, but only at
rather long intervals, so the ears must
be sharp to catch it.

A wood pewee was sitting on the stub
end of a broken limb, waiting for in
sects to come close.
1t was characteristic pose and place
for this bird, and readily helped identify
him.
Had he been on a full-leafed branch
OF the locust tree, he might have been
mistaken for the phoebe, bird of the
same size and somewhat the same ap-
pearance.
His selection of a perch, however, gave
him away.
Such small points are always valuable
guides in bird Identification. Many birds
come to the suburban garden infrequent-
ly, fly around for time, and then 60
back to the woods.
The wood pewee and the wood thrush
get the first part of their names from
their usual habitat, but the latter is
seen nowadays in suburban gardens
more than in the forests. whereas the
pewee only flies in from time to time.
1t is necessary to keep close look
out for him, if the bird enthusiast is to
see him when he arrives.
\ X
The great trouble in amateur bird
Identification comes in the gap between
the bird on the bough and the colored
illustration in the book.
The enthusiast must realize that there
is a great difference, not only between
two pictures in two books, but also be-
tween the same bird in May and August.
Feathers are constantly being shed
and replaced by new.
There is further complication in the
fact that the juvenile birds are as large
as their parents, and often look nothing
like them, or at least are enough diff
ferent in coloration to fool the beginner.
Hence We find that birds may look
differently at different seasons. and even
month by month; that their babies may
easily be mistaken for other birds, since
they are SO large; that there is per-
picking difference between the colors
of male and female of the same species,
in most cases, and that there may be a
vast difference between two colored illus
trations in two books.
Let us not be harsh on the illustrators
but keep in mind the other three r'ea-
sons for differences, especially the first,
that birds do vary, from time to time,
and as seen by different persons

This is not an impossible task, in most
instances.
What is required, however, is genuine
interest. Without this, no one will be
willing to keep an open eye, and it is
the open eye, the seeing eye, above all,
which is necessary in this work.

''The Black Legend"

Americans who have not travelled in
Spain and who do not enjoy intimate
acquaintance with conditions there
ought not to be uncharitable in their
Judgment of the Spanish people in their
present troubles. Neutrality certainly is
an attitude to be desired on the part of
all foreigners; it is the policy of the
Government and should be that of the
public in the United States.
Particularly, fair-minded Americans
will wish to avoid what Spaniards call
sthe Black Legend"-that curious me-
lange of myths which suggests that a
romantic but fearsome midnight con-
Btantly hangs over the Iberian PENN
sula and that the inhabitants thereof
are similarly wrapped in Stygian igno-
rance, superstition and wickedneSs. 1t
happens that the composite picture
painted by Victor Hugo, Blasco Ibanez
and other fanciful novelist simply is
not true. Civilization in Spain is no
more notably tinctured with barbarism
than civilization elsewhere. Neither the
follies which Cervantes indicted nor the
murderous tendencies which Prosper
Merimee reported in his colorful fables
are peculiar to the southwestern corner
Of Europe. The Spain of Carmen" does
not exist, never has existed except in
the imagination of its author-infiu-

There is a mysterious gas exuded from
ripe apples which checks the growth OF
potatoes, protects stored potatoes from
sprouting and rotting, and increases the
amount of sugar in them fve-fold.
This gas, which cannot be obtained in
amounts sufficient for positive identifi-
cation, acts as If it were ethylene. This
is known to chemists as a colorlesS, in
fiammable gas with a suffocating odor,
ordinarily derived from coal gas, which
is best known from its properties as
surgical anesthetic. The amount exuded
from ripe apples must be very small,
but sufficient in a closed space to pro-
duce extraordinary effects.
The experiments indicating its pres
ence in apples are reported by o. II.
Elmer, Department of Agriculture chem
ist in the Journal of Agricultural Re
search. That this fruit gives off potent
growth -inhibiting factor has been re-
ported before, with the implication that
this was some sort of radiation. The

almost certainly a gas. Duplicate ex-
periments with ethylene gave almost
identical results.

the leaves lose their green color, and
leaves and stems are thrown into a sort

Educating Nature.
Every day that comes along
Brings sorrow or a song
Save when man with superskill
Works with superior will
Telling grasses how to grow
And the rivers where to flow.
Men pretend to knowledge vast
Which proves valueless at last.
Every day that hurries by
Brings us laughter or a sigh.
Nature offers small relief
For the pains of man-made grief,
And the song with truthless tone
Leaves us cropping and alone.
Why insist on such distress?
Nature knows her business!
