Ihere is thus continuity of food sup

Tor great populations"
Thus far one group of these soil
bacteria, he says, has been harnessed
to the service of man. This is the group
which occur in nodules on the roots
OF leguminous plants and which, in
association with the plant. draw and fix
nitrogen from the air. These can be
gotten out of the root nodules, propa-
gated in the laboratory in immense
numbers, and placed in the soil or on
other plants of the same kind. Thus
profitable crops can be made to grow
in poor soils.
There have been repeated efforts to
do something of the same sort with
other bacteria, thus far futile. Actually,
DR.. Thorn said. Department of Agri-
culture workers in Texas have succeeded
in inocculating plants with particular soil
organisms and then recovering these
organisms at will. They have not yet
been able to find any practical appli-
cation.
The possibilities along this line, DR.,
Thorn stressed. constitute one of the
great unexplored fields of science. The
farmers control over his crops now stops
essentially at the surface of the soil.
He can keep down the weeds. He can
apply proper fertilizers He can fight
insect pests and fungous diseases. Just
as important factors in the life of the
plant may lie hidden around the roots
and at present very little can be done
about them.

Calls for the Evidence
OF a Life After Death
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the Editor OF Inc Star:
note that in The Star of April Is
two of your readers took issue with me
on the question of life after death"
Unfortunately, neither one of them pro-
duces the evidence. nor even indicates
where it may be found One OF them
frankly admits that he does mot feel
qualified for the task and thus elini-
mates himself. The other insists that
the evidence does exist, but he does not
tell us what it is, or even that he him.
self knows what it is. He, too, there
fore, fails to prove his point.
May I point out, again, that the only
way to settle this or any other question
is to produce the evidence. Mere as
sertions will not do it. 1t may also be
said that the question of life after
death" is of such great interest to most
people, and any positive, affirmative evi-
dence on it would have such tremendous
significance that, If any such evidence
existed, it would be proclaimed from
the house tops again and again, echoed
and re-echoed amid ringing of bells and
singing of hellelujahs, until every one
would be apprised of it and there would
be no doubt about it. The fact that
the question exists at all is in itself
significant. EDW. WOLESENSKY.

An Easy and Simple Way of
Digging Out of Depression

To the Editor Of The Star:
Mr. Roosevelt has cheerful way Of
putting things.
In his last fireside chat he told the
people they need not worry over the
way he is piling up the national debt
by the billion.
If you people will only rustic about
a little more" he practically said, land
work hard enough to make our national
yearly income eighty billion, we can
easily take enough from you in taxes
to pay all the bills may run up"
How reassuring!
Now that Mr.. Roosevelt has pointed
out the way, how easy and simple it
will be to dig our way out from the Roose-
welt depression and get rid of thirty
seven and half billion of national debt.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES f. TRACEWELL.

Yellow butterflies at the lilac blos-
soms-surest signs of spring we know.
Rather early for butterflies. 1t seemed,
but there they were, hovering with their
famous erratic movements over the
sweetest flowers Of all.
Surely their motions are not peculiar,
in the least, and their tastes strictly
of the best.
It was noticed that the big yellow
fellows, trimmed in black, never got very
far away from the bushes.
Not so erratic, after all, not bit OF
it, but sure good insect sense, which
took them and kept them close to the
food Of the moment.
X
The day was cool, but the f1uttering
insects evidently did not mind.
They are really tough, for all their
fragility.
Where do they come from? Hatched
out, after being in the cold all winter,
no wonder they are able to stand cool

For all their gossamer appearance,
these butterflies know thing or two
They have been in the world for CEN
turies, probably as long as the birds.
which science tells us have been here
for perhaps as much as 100000 years
or thereabOutS.
Every year they come to our gardens,
and If We are as smart as We think we
are, We will pay some attention to
them, especially along the lines of
wonder.
Wonder is still worth while.
When people get so used to scientific
discoveries that they tend to lose some
thing, even little. of their power of
amazement, otherwise called wonder,
they are in real danger, we don't know
exactly what
A butterfly will serve as well as any,
thing.
1t is not something to be disregarded,
in lofty way, or paid no attention
to at all, as if it did not exist, or to be
regarded with amusement when some
one else calls your attention to 1t.
No, fine big butterfly is something
in itself, as worth while as big New
foundland dog, in a sense.
Butterfly and dog each has its place
in nature.
They prove natures diversity, her
largeness, her scope, her inf1nity.
X
We may stand in amazement over
them both, if we will.
The dog is more familiar, in a Wav.
but soon the butterflies will be every
where.
Yet they will go through all the
trials and tribulations of this life. in
their curious way. and come to an un-
regarded end pretty soon.
Butterflies are called "diurnal" which
means one day, but one may feel pretty
sure that the pretty winged creature
he sees on the lilacs lasts longer than
that
If not. there must be great number
OF them, just as there are many species.
Scientists have named about 80 900
species, of which more than 5000 are

small. One Of them is the sort that

A Fateful Conference.

Nothing less than the existence of
Czechoslovakia. and with It the question
Of peace or war in Europe, is wrapped
up with conferences to begin at London
today between Prime Minister Chamber
lain and Premier Daladier, and their
respective foreign ministers. When first
projected, the meetings primary pur-
pose was to lay the foundations of a
Franco-Italian agreement along the gen.
eral lines of the London-R Rome pact, and
possibly to pave the way to new
Locarno-like treaty which would again

age person has neither time nor incli-
nation to know much about butterflies
and moths. This attitude, however,
need not deprive him Of normal interest
when he happens to see one Of the big
black and yellow ones on flower.
The very name, butterfly" is
pretty one, no doubt having its origin
from one of the yellow species.
The graceful way these insects hold
their wings folded aloft has been utilized
in paintings of angels, one may feel
sure.
The patterns and colors of these wings
have been used in many ways by man.
Flower pollinization depends partly
upon these insects.
1t is a happy thing that so many
forms come to an average small garden.
Let us make plea to every one to
let the butterflies alone.
They do no harm, but good, and
are of no particular appeal when caught
and killed and pinned down to card.
Happily, such pursuits have gone out,
except for those who have peculiar
interest in insect study. One no longer
hears of young ladies chasing butter
flies with nets through the dew, and it
is a good thing, for they did nothing
with them after they got them. Science
is one thing, but indiscriminate slaughter
OF any form of life is something else.
A butterfly collection-What better COL
lection does any one want than the
creatures at large in the yard?
Butterflies like sunshine The old
adage of the moth and the flame ap-
plies here, except that these in the
garden are in no danger of getting
their wings singed.
Their wavering flight is not mere
foolish insect habit at all.
Watched carefully, 1t is seen to be
quite direct, with some blossom as its
target in practically every case.
The butterflies keep close to flowers,
especially in the sun, and go directly
from one to another, making such stops
as their life demands.
Just what the demand is, of course,
no watcher can know, any more than
he can be sure he knows the reasons
dogs follow morning parade route care
fully every day, without deviation.
r
There will be ample opportunity for
every home gardener to study the butter
flies frcm now on.
This is bit early for them but they
are here, and will be with us in ever
increasing numbers.
Let us take time to watch them care
fully, and protect them as best We may,
without at the same time becoming
sentimental over them. After all, they
are curious things, bits of animation
which somehow do not seem to do much
thinking and probably little feeling.
But no one can be sure of that The
sensitivity Of the fish when it is caught
Who can doubt it? But how much it
feels. and in what way-who can say?
That fish feels as a human feels is
extremely doubtful. But that it eniovs

believe, is foolish
Butterflies in the garden from now on
are part of the picture. Let us keep
this in mind, and not miss this part
because OF indifference or casual belief
that they are of no Importance, either
to themselves or to other living things.

Owen, Not Glass, Was
Author of Reserve Act

To the Editor Of The Star:
The column-length article in The Star
OF April Is regarding the death of
Charles j. Hamlin was a worthwhile
informative record Of the public career
and services of Mr.. Hamlin at home and
in many foreign countries in varied
assignments, services which were sue
cessful and acceptable to the United
States and were often officially acknowl-
edged by those countries 1 note, how
ever, as the only fly in the oinment of
this splendid tribute that it is stated
that Senator Glass of Virginia is referred
to as the father of the Federal Reserve
System Senator Glass was not the
father of the Federal Reserve System or
OF the Federal Reserve Bank Act of Con-
gress. although this statement is now
and then found in Washington news
papers. Senator Owen of Oklahoma,
assisted by Representative Vreeland of
New York, was the author of the Federal
Reserve Act, and not the then Represen-
tative Carter Glass of Virginia. Is there
not Senator or Representative of
Oklahoma in these days who will pay
to his State the honor that is due re-
specting the authorship of this act of
Congress? w. E. RYAN.

The public is advised that although
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
is more than 6,700 cases in arrears,
drastic curtailments in personnel have
been ordered; that although overworked
employees have piled up more than 700,-
600 ..ours of overtime this fiscal year,
many employees in Washington are being
dismissed. five field offices are being
closed and the whole field force is to
be reduced to half strength by fur
loughs; and that although the work is
steadily increasing, funds available for
the next fiscal year are less than this
years total, which proved to be far
short of requirements.
What makes the matter even more
puzzling is the fact that records show
that the F. B. I. is one of Uncle Sans
few profitable investments in the field
Of executive establishments. Figures
given to Congress by j. Edgar Hoover
director of the bureau, revealed that
the F. B. I. returned to the taxpayers
in fines, recoveries and other savings
approximately seven dollars for every
dollar expended.
The financial plight of the F. B. I.
must be as bewildering to the criminals
as to the G-men. The underworld,
while failing to comprehend the situ-
alton, should derive much satisfaction
from it.
This is one problem that will require
more than the ingenuity of the G-men
to unravel. The answer can be sup
piled only by those who control the
bureaus purse-strings, the Budget Bu-
reau and Congress.
