A r THIS time of the year, when so
many are camping or are out in
the woods, they see growths that at
tract their attention. Most of the
plants and, indeed, all forms of life,
d. are harmless, but there are few we
should really be sure to let alone. One
OF the most important is the death
cup, the fungus that has caused so
much trouble to man and animals.
The poisonous principle which is
found in the death cup is known as
phallin. one of the tex-albumins. It
is the same poison found in the secre-
tions of venomous animals and rattle
snakes and the poisons which pro-
duce death in dipththeria and cholera.
This phallin acts at once upon the
blood corpuscles. causing them to dis
solve. The serum of the blood escapes
from the blood vessels into the ali
mentary canal, and the whole system
Is rapidly drained of its vitality. Once
this phallin has gotten into the blood
. there is nothing that is known to
counteract it.
If it has been discovered in time
that a person has eaten this poison
Gus fungus. the only way that may
save his life, and. of course, it must be
done promptly after eating the Aman-
ita, is to use the stomach pump and
to give the patient large dose Of
oil The oil carries of the fungus
quickly from the intestines. before it
can get into the blood and the victim

The gills are white and free from the
stem. They are rounded at the stem
end and broad. The spores are white
and globose and the flesh is white.
In the genus Amanita they all have
this in common. They bear their
spores on radiating lamellae or plates.
The family Agaricaceae is the largest
and it has in it some 5000 described
species, which have been placed in
genera or groups.
The color of the spores is the most
important thing to recognize. You
may ascertain the color by placing the
cap with the spore surface down upon
white piece of paper, or it may be
black cloth or paper. Place glass over
it so that no air may reach the fun
gus to blow the spores away. There
will be a print made for you showing
the radiating gills and made in the
color of white, rusty brown, black or
pink. To really identify a genus of
the gill-bearing fungi you must know
the stem. gill and cap and its habit

The cap is white or greenish, some-
times grayish brown. It is smooth
and is from to inches across. The
stem has ring that is very bulbous
at the base and there is a wrapper
where it sprang from the ground and
left its little collar behind. The stem
is pithy when young and hollow in
old age and is from 3 to 6 inches long.
The veil is white in white forms, and
tinged with brown in the brown forms.

The National Educational AS
ISOLATION reports that "of 291
cities in the United States, 76 per
cent refuse to employ married
women as teachers. As per cent
of these cities require teacher to
resign if she should marry"
Our own Florida courts have
ruled against any such dismissals,
and a thousand thanks are due
our far-sighted Judiciary for
recognizing this discriminatory
trend as the FaSciSt-NaZi mani
feStation that it is.
Florida has not proven par
ticularly hospitable to Fascism
or Nazism in any of their phases.
Although our Governor could not
bring himself to legally ban Nazi
camps, Fascist and Nazi agitators
have discovered that Florida is
downright uncomfortable soil on
which to sow seeds of retrogres-
sion.
In states where married women
are forced to choose between a
position (for which they have
prepared themselves by a life
time of study or marriage,
parents can ask themselves:
Are school boards retaining
teachers because of experience
and ability, or are the schools be-
ing made practise places for the
training of new teachers?
Kitchen, church, and chill
dren," is the club with which
foreign dictators have beaten
womanhood back into the Middle
Ages.
Goodness knows, Florida has
enough discriminatory laws with
out adopting any Fascist-Nazi
ideas about banning married wo-
men from the right to make an
honest living.
