Judas Didn't Use Redbud Tree

Mattoon summoned George Phil

Sticking strictly to trees, Phillips

the redbud are not the same.
"They are in the same genus. but
different species" he announced ex-

Oklahoma to decide. But, as for

Two Forest Service experts lined up

a redbud as contended by Mrs. Ro-
berta Lawson of Tulsa, national presi-
dent of the Federation Of Womens s
Clubs, who is leading fight against

W. r. Mattoon, extension forester,
said the redbud is called the Judas
tree in some parts of this country,
but redbud is the standard name for
it-a name unanimously accepted as
correct by all State foresters who have
published guides.

THAT, think, is a myth.

SMALLEST THINGS

An interesting pamphlet issued by a

est things in the world, a few of which are
the following:
st. Anthony chapel, near Festina, Ia,
holds persons.
Monaco, on the Mediterranean, en-
bracing only square miles, is the smallest
country
In a Philippine lake is found fish
whose maximum length is only half an
inch.
An ultramicrometer used by the u. S.
Bureau of Standards measures to one-bil-
lionth of an inch.
In the U. S. National Museum is a
piece of writing consisting of 46 words en-
graved on glass, which must be magnified
nearly 100 times before it can be read.
H. McBroom of Houston, Tex, con-
structed working electric motor less than
an inch high and weighing only quarter
of an ouonce.
Bristol county, Rhode Island, with an
area of % square miles, is the smallest
cunty in the United States
Most interesting of all is the account
of a dwarf named Che Nah, who was
brought to America from the Orient in
1881 by the great Snowman, P. T. Bar

man of full grown human being ever

PUBLISHING RISKS

Starting new periodical of any kind
is always risky business, especially in a
field already amply supplied. The amount
of money that can be sunk in an unsuccess-
full publishing venture is seldom realized
by any except those who hold the bag.
A striking case in point was brought
to light few days ago, when it was an
nounced that the news-magazine News
Week and the weekly Today were to be
merged and the management taken over
by the Mccall Company. :
In the four years of its existence it is
stated that News-Week backed bya NUM-.
Der of wealthy men, has lost $2,250, 900.
In considerably less time Today, backed
by Vincent Astor, has lost about. 81 ,0OO,-
600.
Seeking to salvage something from
their investments, the hackers of the two
periodicals will put up another million or
more, while the Mccall Company will risk
100000 in the combined enterprise.
which will now have a more experienced
publisher than either News-Week or To-
day has had heretofore.
The experience of these periodicals
has been duplicated hundreds of times on
a smaller scale, when men unframed in
the publishing business start superfluous
newspapers or magazines. Even an old
established and profitable publishing en-
terprise is easy to wreck when it falls into
inexperienced hands.

Seattle taxpayers. paying, from their city
general fund, around 100000 for street

municipal uses.
The plant cost $50, 3,000-and, ac-
cording to engineering estimates, couldn't

city issued $42,339, 900 in bonds against
the property-and has been able to re-
deem only $1O,186,000 of them in thirty
years.
There's nothing unusual about this
story, says the Industrial News Review.
Hundreds of such enterprises, some smaller
and some larger, have had a similar expert
ence. And that's the reason why, in the
face of strong political pressure in favor
of municipal ownership, scores of towns
have recently defeated proposals to go in
to the power business.

the last day of Marcho and it is
widely forecast that at that time
the union will make demands the
operators will refuse to meet, and
strike vii, follow. So far as steel
is concerned, it has been the
avowed intention of John L. Lew
lis to force the closed shop on the
industry, and it is said that he has
his plans ready for what may
prove to be the greatest strike in
recent history.
As the U. S. News recently
pointed out, Modern industry is
now so integrated and inter-relat-
ed that the troubles of any one
part soon reflect themselves
throughout the whole. Strike eff
fects take on national import

strike hits a big industry. such as
motors, its dampening effects on
trade are felt Immediately
throughout many other big indus
tries-steel, rubber, oil, textiles,
transport. Car dealers run out
of stock, and must discharge
statesmen. In a thousand COM
munities purchasing power de-
clines, is felt by groceries, drug
stores, movie theaters, every COM

widespread influences of a gem

There is strong implication that the

to their side to force settlement

bile strike settlement gave labor
heads a great deal less than they
asked for, is regarded by A. F. Of
L. Present Green as setback for
the workingman.
The influences of a natural dis
aster, such as the Ohio river
floods, are of course similar. Fac
tories and stores close, people
must leave their homes. Their pur-
chasing power is almost entirely
stopped. First and most drastic
effects, as result. are felt by the
retail trade industries. During and
following the recent floods, the
large mail-order houses reported
serious drops in orders. However,

Judge who retains his position after
the age of seventy years. The total
number of such xtra judges is to be
limited to fifty. with further proviso
that the number of Supreme Court
justices shall at no time exceed fif-
teen.
The suggestion was clothed in plaus-
ible argument. Since the remedy Of
fered falls so far short of dealing with
the problems il is ostensibly intended
to solve. il is impossible to avoid the
conclusion that there IS an Interior
motive. The most obvious purpose.
judging from the record of past
events. is to induce the retirement
of certain Supreme Court justices. or
else to counteract the present view

The strongest argument offered to
