WASHINGTON. 1t looks as
w though some rather horrible
things may be written about this
Congress after it adjourns, but
this correspondent begs to report
on one act of CongreSS-generally
overlooked - which was rather
nice.
Perhaps it was one of those
things the boys sometimes do in a
moment of observation-disclosures.
Anyway, they voted to save the
last great grove of sugar pines left
standing in the world. John Muir,
the naturalist, once called it the
worlds most beautiful grove Of
trees. Irving Brant says "it is ma
jestic beyond all human concepts
of majesty"
CONGRESS authorized Secretary
~ Ickes to buy 1000 acres of
sugar pine land adjacent to
Yosemite Park in California at a
cost Of from Sl,500,000 to S2,000,-
600. This tract contains what's
left of the Gary Inn grove"
There are trees which took 500
years to grow and lumber men
were cutting them down as fast
as they knew how when the bulk
of them were saved. Growing 5000
feet above sea level, some of these
trees reach 240 feet in height.
The movement to save the trees
began 20 years ago. Only the de-
preston saved them in 1890.
Within the last year the owners
ran a logging railroad right into
the heart Of the groves finest Sec
ton and began creating a stumpy
waste.
SOMETHING else rather decent
also happened. The tax loop
hole committee looked over q re-
port on President Roosevelt's in
come tax return after Republicans
had suggested that F. d. r. might

FLOWING ONE UNDER TO CHECK
POPULATION
INV BRUCE GATT0N)

For a dime or quarter, any fortune
teller will look into the future and unraVel
any question about life or death, time or
tide, or whether you'll ever meet the at
tractive person who sat at the next table
in the restaurant.
But if you're wise, you'll classify the
results more as amusement than anything
else. Legitimate science and the products
of long research by learned men provide
much more reliable methods of predicting
where the human race will be and how 1t
will be living one or 1000 years from now
Because most people have made this
distinction and have come to rely on the
judgment of our intellectual leaders, it is
unfortunate to see any of them go on rec
ord with such grim philosophy as that
expressed at the international Congress OF
Population in Paris. '-' .
In one of the reports before the Con-
gress, DIR. Frank w. Notestein of Prince
ton University declared that a war in
China might be that nations salvation
from ruin by overpopulation.
If China's population is not stopped by
war and other violence, it probably will
double within 60 years, DR.. Notestein be-
lieves.
At the same Congress, Prof Pascal
Whelpton of Miami University indicated
agreement of American authorities that
the United States will reach its population
peak in the next generation, after which
there will be decrease.
Between the statements of these men,
there seems to arise conflict. The United
States, without appreciable benefit of fam
inc, pestilence and war, is riding high,
without a population problem in sight.
Yet for China, war is regarded as the only
salyation-unless the population is check
ed first by some other scourge.
This solution is an application of the
theory of Thomas Nautilus, an English
economist, long dead, who saw world pop
ulation running wild unless certain natural
or msn-made checks restrained it. War
and pestilence are among the checks Wis
ualized by this theory. -
Long taught in economics and sociology
classes, the Malthusian theory is still be-
heved by many. But, like many another
economic doctrine disproved by events of
the last few years, it may be definitely on
the skids.
If Americans could believe in such a
theory, China's present trouble with Japan
would be welcomed here as great event
in the march toward better world and
we could feel happy every time a report
came through telling how many more hun
dreds had been slain. n'" ...
This is the kind of fortune telling that
leaves bad taste. .

A Modern American
Salad

They say it is not what you eat
but what you digest that counts.
This is one of the many reasons
for salads. Another reason is the
fine salads that are made available
today. Made available by the low
cred price and also fine recipes. A
salad started out originally to be
herbs and greens, arranged on
plate and garnished with a dress
ing. Today, however, the meaning
of a salad has stretched to include
fruits and vegetables as well, and
has become regular member of
the dinner courses, being some
thing plain and simple, or some
thing elaborate and lovely to look
at. Here is a typical American
salad with those certain touches
that make a salad a joy to see as
well as eat.
To make this American salad
place a thick slice of peeled ripe
tomato with the core removed on
q bed of lettuce. Push the stem of
. rosette of cauliflower into the
hole Of the tomato and around this
place green string beans that have
been marinated in French dressing.
Pipe little cream cheese around
the edge of the tomato to hold the
beans in place.
This salad is very quickly pre-
pared and has an attractive array
OF colors, besides being highly
nutritious, and quickly digested.

Steamed Puddings Good
Part OF Bad Weather

Though cold weather may have
it's bad points, there is still a
great deal to be said in it's favor.
One would hardly eat a steamed
pudding in hot weather, but now
what can so hit that certain spot?
STEAMED CARAMEL PUDDING
6 tablespoons sugar
! tablespoon flour
3 ounces ground almonds
l cup hot milk
Il cup butter
8 eggs
Melt the sugar in a irving nan
until light brown. Add milk very
gradually, stirring all the time.
Cool, then add butter, flour, al
monds the yolks of eggs, well beat
en-, and lastly the whites that have
been beaten stiff. Butter the form
mold, cover butter with a little
more sugar pour in pudding, steam
for hour and serve with whipped
cream.
Another good way 70 make this
pudding is to melt / cup of brown
sugar, add ! pint Of cream, then
one dozen grated lady fingers. Beat
the yolxs of s eggs, add to the
above mixture, and then add the
stiffly beaten whites Of five eggs.
Put IN tightly covered mold,
place in kettle of water and
steam two hours. Serve hot with
whipped cream or caramel sauce.

mount has given a three-year
contract to John Barrymore
and his wife, Elaine Barrie, and
will feature them together in a
picture as soon as a suitable
story can be located. Making
pictures with Mr.. Barrymore
used to be a nightmare to direc-
tors.
Some days he was three hours
late showing up for work, and some
times he disappeared for days.
When he did arrive on time, likely
as not he would make such caustic
remarks to his fellow players that
their nerves were practically shat

ambitious Miss Barrie has changed
all that. She has made him settle
down to work in earnest.

(78) Question: Do / have to hire
any one to file claim for me for a
lump-sum payment under the old-age
insurance provision of the Social
Security law?
Answer: No. Simple forms have
been prepared so that eligible persons
who wish to file claims may do so.
Full information and every assistance
will be give you by your nearest
Social Security Board Field Office.
No fee is charged by the Board.
(79) @. I employ several men who
earn over $4,000 per year. When
have deducted $50 as Social Security
taxes from the income of each, should
I stop reporting their wages to the
Collector of Internal Revenue for the
year? If not, what should I do?
A. An income tax is levied under
Title VII of the Social SecurityAct
on the wages of an employee up to a
maximum of $1,000 paid in one calen-
dar year by any one employer. Taxes
are deductible and payable as the
wages are paid, that is, on whatever
wages are paid until the first $4,000
is paid. The employer must make to
the Collector of Internal Revenue a
monthly tax return on Form ssh;
and, a summary return on Form SS-2
covering the six months ending next
December 81. The $50 return must
be accompanied by an individual
return, on Form SS-2a, for each en-
ployee to whom taxable wages were
paid during the period. You will note
each Of these return forms call for
reporting only taxable wages"
Wages above $1,000 are not taxable.
You should not, therefore, con-
tinue to report the excess wages of
the employee after the maximum has
been reached and the required taxes
have been paid. You could note the
fact on your books, and you also
could note the fact in a supplemental
statement accompanying the return
covering the payment of the last tax
able wages. Bear in mind the fact
that the foregoing applies only to
taxes under Title VIII Of the Act and

to the boiling water. Let boil 20
minutes, stirring to avoid sticking
at the bottom of the kettle. Drain
in colander; pour cup Of cold
water through it; then return to

are used, soak in warm water
or 2 hours, changing the water
several times. Heat the butter, add
the onion, when slightly Drowned,

toes, strained, and let simmer 20
