T ERE Is the foe to the apple
- orchard! Do your good turn
and remove this pest from its
foster mother, the cedar tree.
This is the time Of the year when the
cedar apple is the most dangerous.
See those long bugles? When they
are ripe they are filled with millions
Of tiny spores. Their coat splits open
and good husky wind will carry the
spores miles and miles.
These curious brownish gals, al
ways called cedar apples" prefer the
red cedar (more correctly juniper) on
which to get their start In life. In
fact they cannot do so on any other
tree. Besides. they must spend their
youth on the apple tree!
During the Spring days, when warm
rains are frequent, the long, queer,
soft, tonguelike projections begin to
swell and break. They soon become
very conspicuous, jellylike masses Of
bright yellow spores.
They are now ready to be carried to
the apple tree or the hawthorn leaves
Here, once they settle. they show forth
as bright yellow spots, known to the
orchardist as orchard rust. Until late
years. the origin OF the spots was not
known. To connect them with the
cedar trees would not have been ac-
cepted too fishy," would have
been the remark.
If you are not troubled by this
fungus, the story may seem romantic
Like many other rusts, this fungus
has two distinct host plants on which
1t preys. So you who are strolling
along the roadways and near an
orchard, do some original research
work and see how many cedar apples"
you can find on the cedar trees bound
to be close by. Snip of the small
branch on which they are anchored.
Bury 1t deep. II your own trees are
affected by these spore bearers, re-
move them and set them on fire or see
to it their spores cannot be waited on
the breeze.
Look for fine. spongy one Open

the job steady"
Instead of waiting for Alan she
went home in taxi She wanted to
be alone for while before he came
in, to think things out before she told
him.
She opened the door of the apart
ment. The cosy little room was
lighted only by the blaze from log
fire. In its Pickering light was card
table covered with white tablecloth
and set with shining glasses and
plates. She smiled wistfully. This
meant Alan had sold another car.
He always celebrated sale with what
he called a victory supper, enjoyed
with Ruth beside the fireplace, and
consisting mainly of baked ham sand
Wiches and ginger ale. Probably he
had gone to bring her home in tri-
umph.
CHE slowly took off her raincoat and
- hat, her throat aching with the
news that she realized would ruin the
victory supper. But she knew no
other way to touch Alan's pride in It's
vital spot, to force him to leave his
depression job and go back to his
serious life's work than to tell him
about her new job.
AS she hung up her raincoat she
heard him coming up the stairs, whis-
ting and walking with light steps that
told her his happiness was complete.
He burst in the door smiling broadly.
Ruth! Why didn't you wait for me?
I can't keep the good news in much
longer!"
She looked down at the victory
table. This told me everything" she
said softly. And I have something
to tell you"
She forced him into the big chair
beside the card table and stopped his
eager mouth with her hand
Alan, I've taken the steady job. :"
He drew her hand from his mouth
and said quickly, "Oh, no, you
haven't"
She nodded. Yes, Alan. 1t will be
best for both of us -
Don't be foolish" he said impa-
tiently. Ruth, will you please let
me tell you the good news :"
About selling another car?"
mo, no. About Wilson. See, I sold
him a car last Fall and he told me
he was organizing construction COM
pany. When I heard he was trying
for the airport contract, and you were
talking about working steady, I asked
him for crack at drafting plans for
him. I worked here in the evenings
while you were at the station. Wilson
sent my plans to the Council. He
promised me a job at $3.50 a month II
they went over"

Brain Twizz1ers

THE president of an investment
company was forced to intrust
some very valuable papers to his Office
safe one day. AS he left his Office to
60 home he saw the watchman and
janitor hurriedly separate and walk
away. This made him feel uneasy
and he, of course, recalled the incident
when the watchman telephoned that
night and said, excitedly, that the
safe had been robbed.
When the police questioned the
janitor, he said: Il was making the
rounds for the watchman while he
went next door for some coffee about
l0:45 when 1 heard the outside door
click. I switched off the lights to
await developments and soon I heard
some one walking farther down the
corridor so I grabbed the telephone
and dialed the police station and told
them to send help. Pretty soon I
heard this person coming again, so I
hid behind the filing cabinet and a
man came in the room, opened the
safe in a short time, took something
out and left"
What time is it now?" asked
detective. Il haven't a watch" an
swered the janitor. Then how did
you know it was l0:45?" questioned
another officer. Because I could see
the big clock on that building across
the street; it has light on it," re-
turned the janitor.

sternly, You will go back to Barnett
next week, won't you, Alan?"
He frowned. No, Ruth
Then I'm going to take a steady
Job at the radio station"
He studied her plump, determined
face and brushed raindrops from a
fluffy curl over her left eye. Il don't
mind if you work as substitute, like
you are now, but I'll never let you
work steady. It'd make me lock like a
failure"
In sense you are, Alan. There's
no excuse for an architect of your
ability selling cars"
That's not what you said in 80,
My commission checks looked mighty
good then"
Those were depression days, Alan
You were lucky to get another job
when Barnett hit the rocks. But the
depression is over now. It's time to go
forward again"
I'll watch out for that" he said
you go on up to the station in the
car. Remember the night on our
honeymoon when you played The
Serenade" on the little organ at the
farm house,"
CHE did remember that happy night
and all the bright days when Alan
was Barnett's most promising young
architect and business was booming.
In those days the ambition which had
10 y, ,y,, III
lege and marry her on commence
ment day still dominated his life To
the Alan of those days she dedicated
Schubert's "Serenade" a few minutes
later, as she played at the studio
grand in station KWES. And she
hoped that somewhere out on the
highway, as he demonstrated a sedan
to his customers, the music would re-
mind him of his old plans, too,
But insight inspired by love for him
had revealed about a month before
that she might have to sacrifice her
own happiness with Alan to arouse
him from the lethargy bred by the
depression. One evening she had read
that Barnett was recognizing. Over
1oyed, she had met Alan that night
with a warm hug and the evening
paper.
Now you'll get your old job back,
Alan. And we'll get on our feet
again.
He hadn't even looked at the paper.
Barnett came to me today" he
said. But I told him I was satisfied
selling cars. ;"
IVES, Alan had paid a high price in
the depression that had wrecked
60 many other bright careers. But
Ruth was determined that his should
not end there.

should behave. They have been
raised on "dcn'ts." AS far as initiative
and ideas are concerned, they might
we'll be stuffed dolls with father push
ing spring by which they can say
mama" papa" yes sir" and mo,
thank you"
One child is 7, the other is 9.
Offer them candy and both look at
father. If he shakes his head their
answer is mo, thank you" II he
holds up a finger it means one piece.
They exist under the motto, Children
are to be seen and not heard" There
fore they never talk. Introduce nv
dog to them and both say, Papa, may
pet him?" Ask them II they would
like to see my garden or shop or ex-
perimental toys, and the reply is,
May we, papa?"
The case have mentioned is ex-
treme. I use 1t to illustrate the diff
ference between goodness" and Char
acter," between static virtue and ac-
ton, between doing only what YOU
are told and acting on your own initi-
ative for ends which are right.
A good" child Is no bother to his
parents, and unfortunately some
parents train child in obedience that
he may not be any trouble to them.
Never mind II later in life this static
virtue does nothing toward bringing
virtue into relationship with the prob
lens Of living.
The personality Of these children is
nil
Some day these children are going
to meet the expressions of life-disap-
pointments, love, failure, temptation
illness, grief, work Their problems
will be greater than whether or not
to take a stick of candy or pet a
friendly dog.
When these times come, papa will
not be on the job because he may be
dead or because he cannot be around
every minute lifting his finger, telling
the girl that she may kiss her sweet
heart once and that the boy must
accept certain job.
Start with training in goodness and
add to it training in the habit of de-
cision, and the child will grow up re-
sponsible to himself and society.

Move Higher Again in

-
NEW YORK, August 6-A new adj
vance in the price of steel scrap in
Pittsburgh today directed attention to
strength in metal prices in domestic
and foreign spot and futures markets.
No. l heavy melting scrap was ad-
vanced so cents a ton TO s22. a new
high since early Spring. No. rail-
road scrap was boosted rs cents
ton to S22.75-s2325. Scrap prices
are regarded in business circles gen.
orally as an accurate barometer of the
health of the steel business and in
dustry in general.
with trade sources reporting little
metal available for immediate dellv-
cry, the domestic price of zinc was
marked up ono-quarter of a cent g
pound to 7.25 cents, East st. Louis.
Lead, copper and zinc were all higher
in the London metal market in contin-
uation of a move that commenced Ia st
week. Heavy demand, both domestic
and foreign, was reported Visible
stocks Of both lead and zinc were
said to be at low levels.
July zinc production, the American
Zinc Institute reported, totaled 49,l8l
short tons, compared with 50,526 in
June and 45,48l year ago. Ship
ments amounted to 49,70l tons,
against 50,2l9 in June and 41,s19 in
July, 1886, and stocks on hand were
1861 tons, compared with l4,osl at
the end of June and 88,5l7 last year.
Early sales of copper for export were
reported today at l4.675 cents pound,
slightly higher than yesterdays fig
ure. Demand was heavy in the Lon

Hot Weather Brings New
Gains in Many Areas
During Week.
BY the Associated Press.

oS LLlc hoeotidlCu Eltoo
NEW YORK. August 6.--With hot
weather spurring demand for Summer
goods retail trade volume established
further gains in many areas during
the past week, Dun & Bradstreet
said today in their weekly review.
All leading centers of distribution
reported larger sales than for the
week preceding, the gains ranging
from 3 to 8 per cent The review
noted, however, that, except in those
districts where buying was brought
to a standstill by last Summer S
drought, there was little improvement
over the previous years total.
The estimated volume Of retail dis
tribution for the country as a whole
was estimated at from to 20 per
cent larger than for the correspond
ing week last year.
Summer clearance sales and August
promotlonal events joined TO ncite
consumer interest in a wider range
Of merchandise" said the summary.
Fall market week assemblies brought
more activity to wholesale CenterS,
with commitments outstandingly gen.
erous in districts adjoining the agri-
cultural areas.
Emerging from the shortest period
OF Summer recession in years, addi-
tlonal industries advanced operating
rates, while others maintained previous
nigh schedules to build up stocks"
Retail sales in the Middle West ex-
ceeded last years by II to IS per
cent, the review stated, supported
mainly by the increase in agricul-
tural areas Demand continued to
lag at some industrial centers.
Output Of factory supplies was seen
maintained at about 80 per cent
above the 1886 level, although the
flow of orders has subsidized somewhat
from the machine tool, paper and
