board? It's stunning-and how
much fun for the children!
The blackboard we have in mind
is brand-new product, made of
clear glass with wire embedded in it
to reinforce it and an interlayer of
dead black or green glass: it has a
thin top layer of clear glass ground
and specially treated to make a vel
vety writing finish and soften the
reflected light. The writing surface
is permanent-Will never require re-
flnishing-also, impervious to soap,
naphtha, alcohol, acids and ordinary
cleaning fluids. The color, of course,
is lasting because of that interlayer
of glass fused within the homogene-
Gus sheet.
The glass blackboards are some
thing new for schools, Sunday
schools, colleges - even basement
playrooms. They are easy on the
eyes, easy to write on. easy to clean
and easy and economical to main
tain.
A small section of glass black
board IN the nursery would be a
source of pride and entertainment.
You could get panel feet wide
and feet high for about s12 or SIS.
Instructions for correct installation
come with the blackboard material.

are. The bladders are lying about
where small creatures are being pur-
sued by larger neighbors and in their
despair and haste, the wee animals
enter the bladders by bending in
ward the free edge of the valve.
When the victim is within the valve,
which is strongly elastic, it snaps
tight and then the prisoners hopes
are forever doomed.
You may watch the strange action
of plant catching and imprisoning
a small animal If you wish to do so.
There are so many of these plants
growing in clear water that this is
an easy accomplishment.
While many seeds are developed,
the plant travels far by forming
large buds on the stems. These fall
of and lie in the water on the bot
tom of the pond until the following
spring. Then they root and put
forth the tiny leaves which bear
bladders. These at first fill up with
water to anchor the baby plant.
When the flower season arrives, the
bladders make a rapid and marvel
GUS change. The water is emptied
out and air is taken in. The bladder
or balloon sends to the surface of
the water its own plant that will
grow to have its flowers, and the
bladders now take to fishing. Watch
them work out their wonderful
scheme.

Natures Children
Bladderwort
(Ultricularia vul garis)
By LILLIAN cox ATHEY

Do not fail to become better ac-
quainted with the bladderwort this
summer. Some of its admirers call
1t the pop-weed. 1t is clever little
plant that is known throughout al
most all of North America and is in
Cuba, Mexico, Europe and Asia.
From June until August is the
towering season and the plants float
free upon the surface OF slow
streams or ponds and some become
rooted in muddy spots.
The flowers are golden and about
one-half inch across. There are
3 to 20 on short pedicles in raceme
at the top of strong, naked scape
from 3 to IA inches high. The
calyx is deeply two-lobed and the
corolla is two-lipped, the upper lip
is erect and the larger lower lip is
slightly three -lobed and spurred at
the base. There are two stamens,
one pistil, andthe stigma is two
Tipped.
The leaves are very finely divided
Into threadlike segments, each bear
ing tinyair bladders.
Submerged leaves Of aquatic plants
must of necessity be finely cut. This
we have found to be true of many
water plants. What interested the
botanists was why bladderworts'
bladders were tipped with bristles.
"Floats," said many of the investi-
gators.
Finally, some one. watching the
bladders closely, discovered they
were traps for snaring and catching
Insects. In a short time many of
these bladders were inspected and
they held minute crustaceans, larvae
and other wee animals, too small to
see without the aid Of microscope
So the dainty little golden blad-
derwort was carnivorous. Further,
she had to wait until her meat was
, thigh" and then she could use the
decayinE juices.

WASHINGTON.-After all these
years. a way to pump little life
into the veins of some of those
long dead South American debts
is being worked out here.
Strictly speaking, those debts are
no direct concern of the govern
ment. because they're owed to banks
and individuals and not to the gov
ernment. But they're one of the
KEY pieces in the complicated jig
saw puzzle that has got to be put
together before the United States
can cash in on the new export trade
opportunity opened TO the south BY
the European war.
So the debts. along with many
other things, have been getting SER
ious study from the governments
crack business advisers, notably the
staff that is beginning to make its
presence so evident in the Depart
ment of Commerce.
The debts come into the picture
like this. as these experts see it:
Before South America can really
boost its purchases of United States
goods it has got to sell more things
TO the United States. Right now it
can't Go that to any great extent
as this weeks hearings on the pro-
posed Argentine trade treaty DEM
onstrated. with high-powered SEN
ators dashing in to protest vehe-
mently against letting the tariff
bars down to Argentine goods.
But South America has vast un-
developed resources, and if these
resources were properly developed
there would be lot of things the
United States could and would buy
various mineral products, for in
stance. oil jute and manila fibers
hardwoods, and SO on.
South America can't develop
those resources very fast, because
it hasn't got the money, and it can't
get the money now because those
defunct debts give it a very bad

credit rating.
The scheme now under conSldera-
tiop in regard to the debts, then,
would 90 something like this:
Defaulted debts in Brazil ito take
one country as a Sample) run TO
something like $350.000000. Those
debts are IN dollar bonds and Bra
zil has no dollars to spare. How
ever. she does have plenty OF mil
reis. which aren't worth much out
side of Brazil but which, due TO eX-
port restrictions, are plenty good
inside the country.
Suppose, then Csay the experts. g.
that some arrangement were work
ed out whereby those bonds were
changed from dollar bonds into
milreis bonds. Payments could be
resumed, but they would be made
in milreis-which can't be taken out
of the country and wouldn't do the
bondholders any good if they could
be. Part of the arrangement, there
fore. would be for the bondholderS
to invest their neWly-gotten milrelS
in Brazil-in some of these unde-
loped resources above mentioned.
It wouldn't be quite as simple as
that. of course. It is suggested that
there probably would have to be
some scaling down of the debts,
and that it might also be necessary
to send little fresh money into the
country: one suggestion is that new
investments be matched against the
old. dollar for dollar.
But in any case, the idea is that
in this way the bondholders would
have something to show for their
money. Brazil would begin to de-
velop her resources.
AS a result, she would be able tO
sell more goods to the United States
without stepping on the toes of any
American producers. She would
then be able to buy more goods
from the United States and
in the end, the bondholders would
at least start getting some cash.

TWO READERS.
EDITOR. THE POST-PRESS:

EDITOR, THE POST-PRESS:
Enclosed, you will find my vote on the
HAM AND EGG amendment.
After studying over a copy of the HAM
and-Egg amendment, | felt justified to
vote against it for several reasons, as
follows:
l. Ham-and-Eggs appears to me to be
a disorderly, uncertain, costly-to-admln-
lister type Of taxation in disguise.
2. There are provisions made in the
Ham-and-Egg amendment for the forma-
tion of state banking system that would
have dctatorial power to handle all the
state government funds, "Ihlrty-a-Week
warrants. and lawful money. 1t is ap-
parent that this portion of the amend
ment is the Ham-and-Egg long range jab
at private banking and the so-called evils
of bank credit which have been caused
through remote control by the manipu-
lation of the rediscount rate, call loans,
the shifting of blocks Of gold back and
forth between nations by spectators,
etc
5. The provision for uncontrolled in
flation under section 7. paragraph 4,
which, if Ham-and-Eggs warrants circu-
late freely. would have a tendency TO
bring about an increase in imports into
the state and a decrease in the exports
out of the state of California.
For example, suppose a suit of clothes
costs S35-or one ounce of gold before
the Ham-and-Egg amendment goes into
effect. Then suppose the price for the
suit rises to S7O-or the price for two
ounces of gold after Ham-and-Eggs goes
into effect. Does it seem possible that
an importer from China would buy suits
in California when he could get them
in another state for $35, or one ounce
of gold?
After Ham-and-Eggs goes into effect
one can expect to see more and more
ham, eggs, and butter dumped over the
tariff wall into California due to high
prices caused by uncontrolled initiation.
Yours truly,
(Signed) GRANT J. BLAS'KO
