Glory Of the Might
by ROBERT SPARKS WALKER

they do not know that if they could
succeed they would thwart Natures
plans and doom these two flowers to
extinction. For their problem is
serious one
When you see night-blooming
cereus getting ready to spread its
large flower. examine it carefully. You
will be amazed to find that its floral
tube is six inches long. and sometimes
a little longer In the bottom of this
tube is the nectar - the salary check
which the insect collects as pay for
Transporting the pollen from one flower
to another. thus making fertilization
possible. The tube is 50 narrow that
an insect cannot crawl into it; the
insect must have a tongue at least as
long as the floral tube to be able to
reach the nectar.
Evening star., 1937-01-03

out of the floral tube a long wire-like
tongue which quickly recoils into
ropelike bundle. Take hold of the end
of the tongue and slowly unwind it
and its length may astonish you. 1t
may be six inches long or a little
longer - the same length as the floral
tube of the ght-blooming cereus.
This strange-looking aviator with
the six-inch tongue is the Pink Spotted
Hawk Moth. Release him and he is
gone in the twinkling of an eye.
There, in a few fieeting seconds,
is revealed the secret of why the
cereus opens its flower only after
dark. The only insect that has a
tongue long enough to collect the
nectar in the base of the flower flies
only after dark. And should the cereus
change its habit of opening from
night to daylight, il would become
an extinct plant.
The night blooming cereus knows
the habits of this insect. 1t spreads
snow-white blossom that shines in
the dark as a silver star in the mid
night sky and catches the eyes of
the Hawk Moth. The cereus knows
the kind of perfume to manufacture
that appeals strongest to the nostrils
rf tho Jawly NHnth av>r - covSJc xI,;c
pleasant odor floating on the breeze.
1t knows, too, just the kind of nectar
that makes the best fuel for this night
aviator's tank. And this fuel enables
the Hawk Moth aviator to travel at
a speed of 100 miles an hour on the
darkest night. Its eyes are so keen
that it does not fly headlong into
objects.
This moth travels from Canada to
South America, and can cross the Gulf
of Mexico in single fight; yet it
lives the first year of its life as a
humble caterpillar. The egg is laid IN
springtime on the foliage of wild sweet
potato, moonflower, or similar vines.
The young caterpillar eats and grows.
BY early autumn it has attained a
length of three inches. Then it buries
itself in the earth below the frost line.
During the long winter rest it changes
into a pupa and the following summer
it comes forth full-f1edged aviator.
1t flies with remarkable skill. al
though it never had a lesson in avia-
ton, and seems to understand the
meteorological problems that confront
the aviator. Whence comes its knowl-
edge of the principles of flying? And
how does it course its way through
the deep blackness of the night? To
me this Hawk Moth is more wonderful
than is the night-blooming cereus.

Tickets That Stick

be money in everybody's pocket. And
you will save money on your auto
mobile insurance - for liability rates
will drop as the accident rate comes
down.
You're asking me. "What can ! do
about it?'
Well, a few months ago in Nash
vile Mayor H. E. Howse announced
drive on ticket fixing and asked the
public to cooperate in a very practical
manner. All he asked was that those
in favor of strict. honest enforcement
would promise not to attempt to evade
the law if they were ticketed tor driv-
ing violations.
The logic of the idea caught on
Immediately. and within week more
than Al 900 citizens had voluntarily
signed pledges to take their medicine
if they got caught.
That, in nutshell, is the answer to
your question. Next time you go to a
meeting of your Kiwanis or Rotary
or Legion or whatnot, get up and
make a motion that your organization
formally petition the mayor to put
an end to traffic ticket fixing. Support
the request. if you like, with copy
of this article for factual ammunition.
But, far more important. support it
also with a signed, personal pledge of
every member of the organization,
promising to refrain from assisting in
or requesting any public official to fix
a traffic ticket for anybody.
With all the pledges in, call the news
papers and tell them about your
Clubs Face the Music Campaign"
and let them ask the other service and
social organizations in town what their
attitude is going to be. In weeks
time the ticket fixing evil will be dead.
That is precisely what you can do
about accident reduction - touch a
match to the fuse that will blow its
worst obstacle right off the map.
Evening star., 1937-01-03

Ticket fixing breeds lax enforcement.
Lax enforcement breeds careless driv-
ing behavior. Careless driving breeds
accidents. And the main reason why
we have ticket fixing is that the people
want it!
The police know it and are aching
to get their hands united.
The politicians know it and are
aching to get out from under.
The only ones who don't seem to
know it are you and I and Charlie,
who are 100 per cent for enforcement
against the other fellow - but who
always crawl when the finger is on us. "
Evening star., 1937-01-03

Enforcement with teeth, on the other
hand. is quick and economical. The
demise of the ticket-fixing evil will
probably pay for everything, because
tickets intelligently issued will bring
revenues from fines hitherto lost, while
the reduction in personal injuries, at
an average Of $1,000 per accident, will

Many times l have sat up all night
simply to study the habits of a wild

reward is always worth more than the

People still wonder why such a
lovely creation as a night blooming

after dark, and why the moon-flower
