BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

Sea oranges and sea cucun1bers
are Holothurians and are distributed
through all seas, although the great
est number are to be found in East
ern seas. The sea orange is OF the
north, and is a deep gold or orange
in color, hence its name; otherwise
its habits and life history are practi-
cally identical with the sea crcum-
bers.
No matter where we find these sea
rovers, they never fail to interest us.
In form they are cylindrical. When
they are in repose, tube-feet and
tentacles retracted. they look for all
the world like great fat worms. But
when they are hungry and alert, they
resemble the sea anemoneS. The sea
orange illustrated is not in bloom,
but is ready for it's dinner, the
tentacles forming the rosette like
top. Around the mouth are the many
branched tentacles which are used
as organs of smell and touch. Some
times there is an ear-sac at their
base. From the mouth the food
canal, consisting of one long coil, ex-
tends to a chamber known as the
cloaca. This cloaca divides into a
many branched respiratory system
and this respiratory tree is steadily
supplied with water by the contrac-
tions of the cloaca. The menu Of
these creatures usually consists of
organic particles found in the sand
and mud of the places where the
Holothurians, or sea cucumbers, have
taken up residence.
These strange water creatures
have most unusual power of eject
ing their internal organs and grow
ing a complete set fol future needs.
In this way they fend of foe.
The egg sacs are branched tubes
which are often highly colored. They
open to the outside near the wreath
of tentacles which surround the
mouth.
The sea orange is a deep-water
species. The eggs when discharged

skin. Along Che body are double rows
Of tube feet. Sometimes q sea cucum-
Der or orange may also have conical
processes without suckers in addi-
ton to the tube feet or In place Of
them. And If the sea orange wishes
to use another mode of progression,
it may use the worm style, that Of
extension and contraction OF the
body. This motive power is possible
because the inner surface of the
tough membrane which encloses the
body is lined with powerful trans
verse. and longitudinal muscles. As
Holothurians are 50 generally dis
tributed through all seas and may
be found In deep and shallow water,
in tide pools in sand rock or mud,

GEESE AND DUCKS PROVIDE AP
PETIzING HOLIDAY DISHES

, Christmas Is as Interchangeable as
the spruce tree and theholly, and
as gay as the colored paper and rib
bons on packaged gifts.
"And holiday bird, roasted to
golden brown, is also traditional
part of the festivities in many
homes, says Miss Margaret Nc
Pheeters, specialist in nutrition for
the Extension Service. For the fam
lily that chooses goose or duck, she
has some helpful suggestins for stuff
ing and roasting the bird.
Both the duck and goose are fat
birds, SO be cautious in adding fat
to the stufflng. Celery, parsley, and
onion are used as seasoning vege-
tables. Among the herbs, savory,
thyme, sweet marjoram, and sage
are favorites. Other good additions
to the duck or goose stufing are
dried apricots, prunes, raisins, and
tart apple cubes candied with sugar.
Put stuffing in bottle the neck and
tail cavities, but do not pack it.
Then, draw the skin of the neck to
the back, and fasten it neatly with
string or skewers, and sew up the
opening under the tail. Tie the legs
and wings close to the body with a
string that crosses at the back where
the marks will not show.
Start roasting the duck or goose
with the breast down on the rack of
a shallow pan, without water and
without cover. Roast 5 to pound
young duck at moderate temperature
$3.50 degrees F. for to IN hours,
or until the breast and thigh are
tender when pierced with skewer;
roast 10 to IL pound goose at 325
degrees F. for 8 to hours, or until
tender.
Ducks and geese are fat enough
to be self basting, but they must be
turned about every half hour to get
all parts cooked evenly. If the bird
is very fat, prick the skin during the
roasting to allow the fat to drain
out.
Slicing the breast correctly Is q
simple trick that makes for success
full carving of the duck or goose.
First remove the leg and wing on the
side nearest you just as for any
other bird. Then make deep cuts in
the breast (about inches apart)
through the skin and flesh and down
to the bone. Start these cuts at the
ridge in the middle of thebreast and
have them go down the side at right
angles to the ridge. The nknife out
the sections of the breast meat and
you will have layer of Drowned
skin and rich fat on top of each. Re-
peat the carving process on the 9TH
er side of the bird.

FIFTH COLUMN THREAT

Most of the controversies between
the Dies Committee and Hoorver's
FBI are due to the fact that these
two Government groups are pursu-
ing the Fifth Columnists from op-
posite directions. Hoover has an al
most perfect organization that is a
nationwide police system. His men
are trained in school that he orr
ginated, and there are no tough guys
among them. As matter of fact
most of the G-Men are lawyers, pub
aic accountants and graduates from
institutions of learning. They work
in pairs and tackle every form OF
disloyalty to our Government; they
work quietly, and get their man!
Congressman Dies has exposed
many dangerous groups and organi-
sations, including agencies and off,
Gals of Germany, Italy, Japan and
other countries.
The Dies and Hoover groups don't
seem to like each other very well.
Nevertheless, both are to be praised
and commended for the records they
have made in running down sabo-
tours. spies and enemies of Demo-
cratic Government. The German
Bund, Russian Communists and
Italian Facists have been made to
railze that it isn't safe for them to
attempt to monkey with the buzz
saw against Uncle Sam.

CONSERVATION GROUP WORK
ING ON UNIFIED PLAN

Governor Herbert r. O'Conor held
a first meeting with the members
of his recently appointed Statewide
Conservation Committee, which will
recommend a unified Conservation
Program to the approaching General
Assembly.
With representation on the Com
mittee accorded to all the various
dissenting groups who were active
in pushing the Referendum on the
Conservation Law passed at the
1889 session, it is the Governors
hope that plan acceptable to all
parties in the State interested in
Conservation will come as a result of
the Committees deliberations.
In announcing the Committee,
Governor O'Conor declared "abso-
lutely no conditions are imposed
upon the Committee now being ap-
pointed, adding that while mem
bers of the State Commissions which
are directly involved were omitted
for membership on the Committee,
''it is to be expected that these State
officials would be invited to appear
before the Committee and the full
est cooperation is assured to the
group studying the question.
1T certainly is timely to strive
for lasting solution of this problem,
so vital to our State. If the right an
swer can be agreed upon now, there
is no use waiting until future time
to afford the benefits to our people.
If improvement in the existing set
up can be effected, that improvement
should be made without undue de-
lay. Whatever is right to do years
hence seems to me right to do now.
For that reason 1 am requesting the
Committee to address itself promptly
to the consideration of the problem
and to make it's recommendations at
the earliest possible date"

What fun it would be to join in the

This she had not done for some

Now when he kissed her good-by

how felt a sitting vacancy in her
heart, and longed to 60 with him.
The stag party, ablaze with
lights, was in full swing, the very
air permeated with the rip-roaring,
