the Padres retahated with five
runs in their half of the frame.

Natures Children
Common Club Moss
(LycOpOdium clayatum)

the green Of fern In one part of It's
life story.
What you do find as the depend
able, characteristic part of a real
moss is that which corresponds
to the little green plant that de-
velops from fern spore. So there
is some relation between them, and
after you are well into the secrets
OF the moses you will find the dis
tinction and feel proud of your
scientific knowledge.
The Clubs" bear spores which
you may easily examine when ripe
There are male and female spores
and the two, uniting, produce even
tually club moses. These spores
are very, very small and must be
examined under a strong micro
scope. When the spores are ripe the
cases that have held them tight
until they were mature are opened
and freed to the wind. Thus they are
carried far and wide, and they
finally settle down upon some OBJ
ject and begin to grow. First, long
slender threads develop to anchor
themselves upon the object they
have found, and patiently and slow
ly these tiny spores begin their life
work.
Not needing to hurry, doing their
work exceedingly well, the MOSES
are said to have inherited the earth.
In turn they have reduced to pow
der and retained moisture, and 50
they have served mankind. They
have practically no insect enemies,
they harbor no disease germs to
spread to neighbors, they beautify
the place in which they live, yet
they are extremely modest about 1t,
since they flaunt no brilliant fiow-
ers to attract attention.

Let US not take anything casually
when 1t comes to growing plant.
With the aid of lens wonderful
colors and intricate forms and struc-
lures will be revealed to you. The
detail OF stem, leaf and fruit is
.something you will not forget. Since
moses are SO easily found, removed
and studied here is hobby that will
bring rich rewards.
There are colors too varied to
name correctly, for the leaves show
oil the shades Of green, yellow, red,
brown and even silver. The capsules
OF the various species are so indi-
Ndual that you may soon learn to
identify the moss by its seed con-
tAiner. 1t may be pear shaped, oval,
round, In the shape of a spinning
top, quadrangular. or it may even
= swing on threadlike stems. And the
stems may be lovely orange, GRIM
son. glossy brown or purplish hue.
In making your collection it is
best to 60 very early or late, or If
you really want to see them in all
their glory choose a day after a
heavy rain or during a shower!
Sometimes you may find as many as
five different moses on one boulder,
tree or log. Usually they keep
company with the lovely lichens.
The club moses have been so
called because they bear clubs.
Perhaps they are the most inter-
esttng for beginner. In the club

Disclosure Of Liquor

Sheppard Coils on Civic
Bodies to Consider
D. c. Dispensory Plan

An unbiased investigation Of the
retail package liquor business In
Washington probably will reveal
extremely lax methods" which per-
NIT tremendous volume of sales
to minors, particularly through tel
ephone orders and deliveries" 1t
was predicted today by Representa-
tive Sheppard, Democrat, Of Cali
fornia.
Mr.. Sheppard is author of a reso-
luton now pending before the House
Rules Committee calling on the
District Committee to make thor
ough inquiry to determine the ad-
visibility Of having the District
government go into the retail liquor
business through establishment of
a dispensary system.
Asks Study by Civic Groups.
His prediction is contained in let
ters he sent to the heads of all
civic organizations in Washington.
urging study of his resolution.
MY introduction OF this resolu-
tion." he said, was predicat3d upon
several factors which I am con-
vinced warrant a study of the retail
liquor business in the District of
Columbia.
First. it is my opinion that an
unbiased study Of the retail package
liquor business will perhaps reveal
extremely lax methods of business
operations which permit a tremen-
dous volume of sale to minors, par
ticularly through telephone orders
and deliveries. This type OF busi-
ness ethics will, in my opinion,
eventually lead to public resentment
of such proportion that will demand
extreme legislation.
Sees Revenue for District.
Second. 1t is my belief that a
study of the business conducted by
the 400 class A retail package liquor
stores will reveal a volume of reve-
nue. which. If controlled through a
District dispensary system, would
produce revenue Of sufficient pro-
portions as to make unnecessary
certain proposed new tax legislation
on the people of the District of
Columbia.
"Since the sale of liquor is con-
sidered rather a privilege than a
right granted by society, it is my
hope that your organization will
give some study to my proposal.
"You will kindly note that nv
proposal does not affect the on-sale
liquor business as it. in my opinion,
Is subject to much closer scrutiny as
to legal regulations than the or
sale liquor business"
Adoption Of dispensary plan for
retailing liquor would force Wash
ington's 400 class A dealers out of
business.
