THE MONEY TREE
lila -
BY ETHEL M. TROY

Human nature beng as it is,
suppose it should not be surpris-
ing to find how lacking we are in
logical, reasonable efficiency in
living.
We know there will be only "a
hours allotted to us each day and
the hours that pass can never be
recalled, yet we indulge our lazi-
ness and allow countless precious
minutes to slip by with no thought
of turning them to good account
by a little closer application to our
jobs, to give little extra polish,
a little brighter glow to our part
of the worlds work.
The same prodigality is evidenc-
ed in our treatment of the money
that passes through our hands.
No matter how meagre ones in
come, in the course of a normal
lifetime vast sums have been
earned and spent. Are you 25
years old? Then, according to sta
tistics, you may expect to live 46
years more. If your income is
only $50 monthly, you will have
earned $4,000 before you die. At
go, how much of that hard-earned
$4,000 will still be in your pocket?
Precious little, I'll wager.
If your income is $500 monthly,
you will have earned $186,4OO in
the course of your expected life
time and that's small fortune in
anyone's bank account.
If your time and ability are
worth SO much to your employer,
surely it should be worth enough
to you for you to routinely save
a definite portion of your income
in order that you and those de-
pendent upon you may enjoy finan-
cial independence to the end of the
road.
Maybe you can earn money
easily, but can you save it? That's
the test for Independent living.

The Way Of the Pressure Boys

Just before Senator Charles L. McNary, Republican
candidate for the Vice Presidency began his formal
CARRIED women attempted to march into the stadium.
Each of them bore large pacards denouncing the
scrption bill Their clothing and the signs gave evil
dence that they were widows mothers of Americans
killed in the last World War. Yet after police had
hustled them away it discovered that of the
widows was young man!
Similar groups of widows" and Gold Star
mothers" have been pcketing Congress- sending let
ters and kilograms to legislators and the newspapers
ever since debate began the Burke Wadsworth
draft BILL Undoubtedly some of those protesting the
measure, perhaps majority of them, were bona-fde
mothers or widows OF veterans. But the revealing of
the Salem fake confirms suspicion that has been
growing strongly in Washington. 1t seemed incredible
that with all the many polls showing that the majority
of Americans favored general military training many
groups could be gathered to demonstrate against the
measure. Now it is pretty well proved that the minority
opposed to CONSUMPTION ready and willing to stoop
to any means to intimidate Congress-
The use of kilograms in great numbers to sway the
Judgment OF Congressman is nothing new This method
of lobbying revealed mere trick and something
less than scrupuous more than year ago when it
discovered that many of the messages were IDENTICAL

even forgeries, We're among some Of the SIGNATURES
Some Of the legitimate signatures those of persons
who knew nothing of the bill they approving or
protesting and had permitted the of their
only as favor to friend or acquaintance.
Still Congressman have been, and continue to
be influenced by such methods. And they cannot be
particularly blamed After all, the kilograms signed
by hundreds of the very people they represent could
the interests of his constituents.
The real blame in this and other cases of pressure
efforts lies with the people themselves They should
not allow any individual group to dupe them into
promoting phoney cause or talk them into demon
stratng against any which they do not fully
understand: If, in spite of such precautions, well
organized lobby gets under way against the public
will the people should take the trouble to inform their
representatives in Congress of their true will Only in
this way maintain precious democracy for
eternal vigilance is indeed the price of liberty.

Constitutions Anniversary

Philadelphia had gone through mighty hot sum-
back in 1887. When September came around
many residents felt sincerely sorry for the delegates
who had been called to meet there The issues to
be decided were important but it seemed too bad they
couldn't wait until the weather cooled off bit!
Philadelphia was the seat of the government and
the Continental Congress met there September IL,
1887 The important measure be considered was the
Constitution. Undoubtedly few if any members of the
assembly realized that by their act the cornerstone for
the worlds greatest democracy was to be laid.
George Washington called the bill shat Constitu-
ton which has appeared to us the most advisable"
1t had been easy matter to draw up this document.
Various states had disagreed with many of it's clauses
due to differences in location, habits and individual
interests. But agreement finally reached and
obtained the charter which provides every citizen
with inalienable rights and privileges

The Dying Balkans

Last week Rumania, of the last more or less
Independent Balkan nations lost its last sembance of
liberty 1t not much the forced ceding of large
territories to Hungary and Bulgaria that demonstrated
this loss. Not until Germany threatened invasion
unless anti-German and ant-Italian demonstrations
in the country stopped apparent how little
freedom the Rumanians would have. From now on
they must have opinions open discussions, per-
haps not government of their They must
merely produce wheat and oil for the German war
machine and behave thoroughly cowed slaves.
One cannot blame the former monarch too much.
Carol whose personal life certainly not admirable,
preserved his counrys freedom much longer than most
neutral observers believed possible. Threatened by
Russia, Germany and Italy, well by the less i'm
portant Bulgaria and Hungary and caoled by Britain
and France Carol for the last five years has
played both ends against the middle an old and dam
gerous game, but to the advantage of his country
At worst his mistake only human, for he picked
the wrong side when he favored the Allies. That was
before the fall of France when the guarantees given
his country by the Allies still looked good And in the
end if Britain finally wins, his country may again win
freedom.
Now there is but one really free Balkan country,
Yugoslavia and her government treads wariy in fear
of the Rome-Berln axis. How long she may be per-
mitted 10 maintain her independence probably depends
on the unpredctable will of Adolf Hitler Mussolini
would have carved up Yugoslavia long ago if he had
dared. But Hitler also desires outlet for Germany
on the Adratc and has discouraged Italian passes at
the hardy Savs and >Croatans. At best the outlook
for the Yugoslavs appears 30 be eventual servtude
under one or the other of the dctators.

Insect gals are the most con-
spicuous of objects, and yet we may
have been obliviouS to them for
years, unless we became more ma
re-conscious. Then we realized
there were strange looking bumps,
humps and Jumps on the stems and
leaves OF plants and trees.
Taken as a group, there is wide
field for research among these
strange forms with their wonderful
coloring, as we'll as the marvellous
structure that is the work of the
minute creature working in the dark.
For the gall is really the home of the
insect. There is such a variety of
gals to be found, it is not a difficult
task to find one, or even a dozen.
established upon oak trees. The
strange life cycle, the apparent
struggle between the host and the
wee animal each is a challenging
puzzle, still to be solved, as scientists
are not sure today what is actually
the truth concerning the strange
combination of animal and plant.
Though the gall is actually a de-
formity on the plant, it is the cozy
home of its maker, or to be exact,
it is caused by the activities of the
resident within. and of the plant to
protect itself. 1t is also the result
OF the householder eating the inside
walls of the home to provide more
room for the increased girth he has
acquired.
In some instances the gall insect
begins its life in the bud of flower
or tree, which naturally causes a loss
to the host. Arrested development
OF buds, ruined fruit or leaves, as the
case may be, the tell-tale swelling or
gall, reveal the work accomplished
by the intruder.
The hickory peach gall is rather
irregular growth and is found
clustered along the midrib of the
leaf. The first time this gall at
tracted the attention of a scientist
in the work was in 1862. It appears
to be rather widely distributed, and
its name comes from the fact that
the gall has the delicate, downlike
fuzz of the peach and resembles the
fruit itself in diminutive fashion.
The mother of this gall builder is
colorful creature. She is scantily
clad in reddish hairs, her abdomen
is a deep red, the last terminal
segment is a rich yellow. Her short
egg-placer (she does not have to
bore deeply into the thin leaf tis-
sue) is also yellow. Her costal red
wings are rather long, contrasting
