Veterans Association
Seeks 0verhau|inq Of Laws

The American Veterans Associa-
ton will ask for a thorough inves-
tigation and overhauling of veterans
legislation at the next session of
Congress, Robert B. Luchars, ma
tional commander, announced to-
day.
He said his organization will
fight the proposal for a general
widows and dependents pension
plan proposed by other veterans
organizations. Each group of re-
turning warriors has assailed the
Congress. This has resulted in many
gross inequalities. The whole struc-
ture is a mass of conflicting and
chaotic laws" he said in asking
some sane and rational legislation
enacted which will prevent special
groups of veterans demanding and
receiving special benefits for them
selves"
Mr.. Luchars charged that if a
general widows pension is passed
the next step will be a drive for
pensions for all veterans based on
age alone.
1T is a national disgrace" he
said, that this Government pays a
pittance of $3.50 to the widow OF
man killed in battle while some
training camp hero who devel-
oped a disability 10 or Is years
after the armistice may receive as
much as $125 month"

BY actual count, the balsam fir is
the favorite of all for Christmas
trees In America And no wonder,
1t is one of our most beautiful ever
greens.
Those of us who have spent days
and nights in the northwoods among
these lovely trees never forget their
spicy fragrance. Balsam frs do best
in their native haunts-from Labra-
dor to Manitoba and Minnesota
south to Pennsylva MIA and along the
mountains to Virginia.
In the northeastern part of Penn
sylvania they rarely grow higher
than IS feet, nor attain a diameter
Of more than 10 inches. They love
the swamps of Pike, Monroe and
neighboring counties in this. State,
but while they prefer the wet low
lands they do,very nicely also on the
highland. The balsam fir is grow
ing more and more popular in Penn
sylvania and is being planted ex-
tensively as an ornamental tree.
The bark is thin and broken into
scaly plates with dried balsam in
white blisters. This is the reason it
has been given the name of blister
pine. The wood is soft and weak,
rather coarse and brown, with
streaks of yellow in it. 1t is not a
durable wood. The leaves are blunt
and dark green. glossy above with
pale Innings. They are from one
half to IL inches long, spreading
and tWo-rank.
The flowers are axillary. The male
ones are yellow, shading to rich pur-
pie; the pistillate ones, purple.
Where you find these flowers you
will later see the fruit. The cones
are erect, a rich, deep purple; rather
oblong cylindrical in outline and
blunt at both ends. Some develop
as long as 4 inches, although slightly
over 21a inches is the usual length.
The scales are broad, whole and

AUSTIN, Tex, June SACK
Langdon, who once starred at foot
ball for Texas Christian University,
let his tongue to some fancy broken
field running yesterday as a member
of the Texas Legislature.
Gov. w. Lee ODaniel, the flour
salesman who waged his successful
campaign with hill billy band, has
said some caustic things recently
about the Legislatures handling of
his program.
So yesterday the towering Lang
don labeled the Governor:
Ether egotist, political charlat tan,
radio raiah, grooming corporal, Sab
bath Caesar, ruthless demagogue
and arrogant opportunist."
To mention just few.
