There are tracks to be studied dur

Look for the house of the white-foot
mouse. It is cozy apartment, per-

Under the low boughs of the ever

There are many strange houses to
be found on bark, bough and stems.

There are the winter berries to look
for, tree barks to identify, hidden ferns

Birds have been close neighbors to

SEEK WISDOM,
LABOR TOLD

Calling the Wagner Act "the
greatest single step forward ever
taken by labor" DR.. Frank Bonn,
international relations authority,
closed the National Temple Forum
conducted by the Washington
Hebrew Congregation last night
by admonishing labor leaders to
cease making too much noise
and thereby losing sight Of edu-
cation" He said:
"The labor fight has just be-
gun. The battle for economic
organization is going to con-
tinue for many years. The
trouble with the labor move
ment is that it has made too
much noise and had too little
education. 1t demands power,
but lacks the knowledge to uti-
lie the power once it gains it."
Discussing international prob
lens, DR.. Bohn said the rise of
Hitler could be traced directly to
the hatreds which inspired the
Versailles Treaty. The Hitler rule
in Germany is the result of fear,
and most Germans opposed his
philosophy of government, DR..
Bohn added, but they had become
so poverty-stricken after the war
that even madness" was accept
able.

followed by Jacksonville. Fla, and Men,
phis, Tenn. OF 80 cities for which stats

during the half year covered by the sur
vey.
1t was observed that January and
February were the months of fewer ar
rests for murder and aggravated assault,
while during these months robbery and
burglary were unusually prevalent. Pre-
vious reports showed that for some reason
this variation was usual during the winter

BORN IN FEBRUARY AND MARcHa

Those of our readers who were born
in February and March will probably con-
clude that there is something to scientific
study after ALL They will agree with Pro
lessor Ellsworth Huntington who says that
most of the famous people are born in
these two months.
The doctor is described as a prom
inent geographer, explorer and educator.
He goes back long time in the develop
ment of his theory. pointing out that chill
dren born in the months named get over
the critical stage of infancy before the ar
rival of hot weather Moreover. because
the earth produces its food in abundance
from March onward, the child probably
will receive a more adequate food supply.
Other interesting conclusions of the
professor are that persons born in July are
shortest lived and that those born in Feb
ruary and March are not only the most IA
nous but are also the longest lived.
