sible to imagine what exquisite COL
ors, strange forms and wonderful
adaptability they possess.
The scientific name Of the cactus
pictured here means star plant" and
the second part of it "myriads OF
stigmas" The comman name you
can easily see the reason for.
Time really means nothing to these
plants They have so many adverse
conditions to hurdle that they take
years to overcome the obstacles, one
by one. That is why they live to be
so old. They perfect everything that
will enable them to endure. This
cactus has tiny compact tufts Of hair
which cover the whole surface ot the

plant. From a distance, this plant
looks like beautifully carved white
stone. The hairs are to prevent the
too-rapid evaporation of moisture, for
the temperature in homelands of this
one may reach 100 degrees. If any
thing should wound it, glutinous
sap would pour out over it, SO that
quick healing would take place and
all moisture be prevented from
escaping.
AS you know, cactuses grow in ex-
tremely dry climates. They have. be-
come especially expert in storing water.
That is why they do not have leaves.
When there Is . drought. the excess
water must b used from the tissueS.

Twizzler Answer.

If the rabbit could have run
straight away from the dog, it would
have been 10 seconds or 200 feet
gaining 10 feet per second) before
he was caught. If he had run toward
the dog, they would approach at so
feet per second, meeting in two
seconds, the rabbit travelling 40 feet.
Since the rabbit took exactly a half
way course between these extremes,
the answer is the average of 200 and
40 or 100 feet.

between these will grow the strange
but handsome cactus. The old plants
finally lose their hair tufts, and this
is one way you can figure the age,
for these plants live to be very old.
The young plants bloom at a very
early age.

successful, must fall in step with the
general trend of the State government
and function with the full cooperation
of all the existing State agencies, D
Commissioner Gill said. "This was the
general plan followed in North Caro-
lima, where we set up a parole sys-
tenn which has increased the impor-
lance of the penal and welfare sys-
tenn rather than lessened their impor-
lance. At the same time we have built
up a strong, highly centralized parole
agency which has final authority in
the granting and revoking of paroles.
Some of this system is written into
the statutes, but most of it is simply
a matter of voluntary cooperation
between independent State agencies
already in existence, such as the wei
fare and prison division.
Some argue that it is better to
enact a parole code and thus make
every step mandatory. My experience
has heen, however, that bettre results
can be obtained through the greater
elasticity of system such as ours
where the law laid down only broad
principles and left us to work out the
sort of plan best suited to prevailing
psychology and conditions.
$50 I would again advise you to
study your own state government and
the conditions within your state and
then try to evolve the type of parole
system which will best meet cOndi-
tons and needs, rather than try to
enact a parole code all at once. Take
