OPPORTUNITIES STILL EXIST

Commenting on the opportunities
for youth in the electric utility in
dustry," H. P. Liversidge, Vice-Pres-
ident, Philadelphia Electric Com
pany, said: twenty-five years ago
a young man with an engineering
education accepted as a foregone
conclusion the fact that one of the
was the electric light and power in
dustry."
He then pointed out the remark
able growth of the industry, the con-
slant downward revision of rates,
the fact that no nation in the world
approaches the United States in the
wide availability of electric services,
and said: "This has been accomplish
ed through the traditional American
system of encouraging individual en-
terprise under suitable regulation
and control" Mr.. Liversidge feels
that the political maligning of the
industry is going to run its course
and that the soundness of the Ameri
can system will finally confuse the
most desirable opening for him
socialistic propagandists.

SIT DOWNS

Terming sit-down strikes "un-
American" the new Independent
Labor Federation of America has
made public its policies, declaring it

federation, which was formed in OPP
position to both the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the Committee
for Industrial Organization, announc-
ed this purpose:
ITO preserve the right of the
American working man to work
without paying tribute to a racketeer
cion or intimidation"
The federation was organized at
convention of delegates from sever.
al states, representing unaffiliated
unions, at Hershey, Pa.

EVERY FOURTH WORK DAY

Americans must work nearly one
full year out of every eight-or
about six weeks out of every year
just to pay the cost of the Federal
government" says the United States
News.
when the local and state govern
ment costs are added to the expen-
ditures of the national government
the average American must work
two years out of every eight to pay
the cost of government.
The tax collector gets cut in
every pay check. His unseen hand
reaches in and takes part of all the
money you spend-for food, amuse-
ment, clothing, train fare, power SER
vice. And his percentage is today
greater than it ever was in peace
time in this country.
The Twentieth Century Fund
estimates that total government
costs have swelled to $17,000,OOO,-
900 year. That is approximately rs
per cent of the national income in
good times. When you work four
weeks, the public treasures take
your earnings for one of the weeks.

All MEMBERSHIP GROWS

One of the most hopeful signs
for the future of agriculture, the
Michigan Farmer points out, is that
the enrolment in All clubs passed
the million mark for the first time,
in 1886. Membership continues to
increase.
The young men and women who
Join the All will be the producers of
tomorrow. In their club work, they
are instructed in new methods and
techniques that make it possible for
the farmer to raise larger crops and
earn a greater return. They are given
an opportunity to develop qualities
of leadership that will prove inval-
liable to them in the future-for
example, in the agricultural cooper
atve movement which is constantly
growing in size and economic and
social significance. In brief, they are
wisely making careers Of farming.

Why Birds Build Nests
in Which to Rear Young

When a bird constructs a nest, it
does so not for itself but for eX-
pected young, and when completed
is the effect of a succession of ac-
tons to which the builder is inn
PEELED by an inner sense that they
must be done, now and in certain
way, or no peace of mind is possible.
These impulses we call instincts,
says a writer in the Montreal Her.
aid.
Whether or not a young bird moth
er has any knowledge or expecta-
ton of what will happen to her
eggs is doubtful. Is she amazed
when living chicks break out of
the mysterious egg-shells? Instinct
tells her they must be cared for,
and henceforth she will be helped
in the responsibility thrust on her
by noticing what other birds are
doing. All young animals learn
chiefly by imitation of their elders.
Ostriches drop their eggs on the
open desert and are content, while
the oceanic birds deposit their
treasures on bare lodges of sea-
fronting cliffs, or on beaches or
within holes and crannies. In fact,
a very large proportion of all the
birds in the world do not make
anything that could be called "nest."

WHY
Teeth Decay Is Still Unsolved
Problem to Dentists.

Why teeth decay is still an I'M
solved problem to dentists. The
search is being constantly carried
on to find some factor that may be
held responsible but without any
definite success. A test was recent
ly made at Harvard Dental school
where an instructor in operative
dentistry and an assistant professor
in oral medicine made a detailed
study of ITO cases of children who
came under their observation for
carries or tooth decay. These inves-
tigators found statistical evidence
that boys suffer more than girls
from tooth decay. Examination of
ninety-eight cases showed that fifty
one girls, with an average age of
7.8 years, had an average of 81
cavities an individual, while forty
seven boys, with an average age
of SO years, had an average of 1877
cavities an individual. Twenty cases
including the five best and five worst
among boys and girls showed that
he high carries among boys aver
aged 1922 and among girls 1873, and
in the low carries group the boys
averaged 2.6 while the girls had no
cavities.
Heredity, diet and a large num-
Der of other factors were studied
without finding any positive CORE
lation with tooth decay. The only
items that seemed to have any con-
nection, as causes, were childhood
diseases involving prolonged fever,
the presence of aciduric bacilli in
the mouth, and to slighter extent
ricketts, in early childhood.

THE HUMAN SIDE OF
MERCHANDISING

Much has been written concerning
the benefits that accrue to farmers
from producer-consumer campo :gns
carried on by chain stores to dispose
of surplus agricultural crops.
But there is another side to these
campaigns that cannot be expressed
in figures-the human side. A short
time ago an agricultural field expert
went into a territory raising peaches
pears. Chains had conducted a special
drive to move canned over-supply.
He talked to leading citizens and
found them enthusiastic about the
work done.
An automobile agent in the area
reported farmers had more money
to spend.
Local merchants, independent as
we'll as chain, gave the chains credit
for stimulating local income, which
reflected in better times for all stores.
A fruit grower said the chain
campaign pulled producers "out of a
bad hole"
The county tax collector said tax
delinquencies were second lowest in
history.
A minister said that the increased
farmer income made it easy to fin
ance a church.
So it went in many conversations.
A collapse in the buying power of
local farmers means depression and
hard times for everyone. Campaigns
which move farm produce at proit-
able prices maintain nationwide
prosperity.

Why Wyoming Is Equality STATE

Wyoming is nicknamed the Equal
ity state because it was the first
state in the Union to grant equal
suffrage to women. Wyoming's first
territorial legislature met in Chey-
enne in December, 1869, and grant
ed women the right to vote in all
elections. In 1889 state constitution
was drawn up and submitted to
congress, which was approved July
10, 1890, and this contained an equal
suffrage clause.

Whv We Eat Glue

If anyone asked you to have a
helping of glue you'd be most of
Tended, wouldn't you? All the same,
you eat lots of it every day-in
meat, says a writer in Pearson's
London Weekly. Boiled meat falls
apart into fbres. In raw meat these
fibres are glued together, and very
tightly, too. To get this glue from
the meat you must boil it until it
falls to pieces. The material which
glued the fibres together will then
be dissolved in the water. Let this
solution cool and it will turn to
jelly. If you then dry this jelly,
what do you think you will have?

Why Some Candy Tastes sweeter

Some candies are sweeter than
others because of difference in the
size of the sugar crystals. Such
candies as fondants have very fine
crystals which dissolve as soon as
they are touched by saliva. These
taste much sweeter than the candies
made of large crystals which dis
solve slowly and so reach the taste
buds more gradually.

MON TGOMERY
CHECKS ON
DC. TAGS

SILVER SPRING, Nd, June 81.
A preliminary check is being
made Of all automobiles bearing
District of Columbia license plates
found parked at night in subur-
ban Montgomery county, in prep
aration for a police drive against
county residents operating auto
mobiles on outside tags.
This practice Of purchasing Dis
trict license plates in preference
to Maryland is followed by sew
eral hundred county residents each
year, police estimate, as the price
in the District is several dollars
lower than those in. Maryland on
all types Of passenger vehicles.
Miller Leads Drive
Corporal James E. Miller, who
led q similar drive last year in CO.
operation with several members
Of the county police, have been en-
gagged for the past two weeks
checking all automobiles found
parked on the streets of Bethesda,
Silver Spring and Takoma Park
at night with District tags and
gathering evidence for court &C
ton.
When a check.up discloses that
q county resident is operating an
automobile on other than Mary
land tags a warrant will be issued,
Corporal Miller said, and when
the drive is opened all police sta
toned on highways leading into
the District will be supplied with
q list of all persons for whom
warrants have been issued, and
they will be taken to the nearest
precinct, where they will be re-
quired to post collateral.
Pugh Opinion Asked
The aid Of States Attorney
James H. Pugh has been sought
to determine whether motorists
residing in the county who lack
Maryland tags can be charged
with evading the Maryland prop
erty tax, Miller revealed.
Although the check is nov
nearing completion, it is still
doubtful when the arrest drive
will be opened. But it will start
in the Takoma Park-Silver Spring
area and later be extended to
Bethesda and Conduit Road Sec
tors.
Similar to last year, police will
be stationed at the District line
on all main streets leading from
Maryland into the District, where
they will be able to peg" nearly
all automobiles going from Mary
land into Washington during the
morning hours.
