you go about on your nature hikes
during the late autumn, and nearly
always be rewarded by a sight of
these beautifully colored mushrooms.
The color of the cap or pileus is
variable. Some of them have
yellowish tint, others pale mauve or
lilac. The younger specimens are
much brighter than the older ones.
In fact age, which in fungi, as you
know, is counted by hours, is easily
told by the color or lack of it.
The flesh is firm and thick, and
in the young, the cap is convex. with
the margin rolled in, and the faint
bloom or a slight mealiness on the

surface may be detected. When
fully mature, the fungus Is. smooth
and the margin wavy, with an up
ward tilt toward the sun.
The gills or lamellae are q pale
lilac in color, with q shade OF violet.
They are narrow and rather un-
equal. Besides, they are close, free,
and rounded at the stem end.
The spores are dirty white and
elliptical, while the stem is a beau
tiful lilac shade, the surface being
slightly fibrous. It is a stout, solid
stem, with a dubious ending. Look
for them in your favorite nature
haunts this fall.

AS summer comes, with its hot
days and moist nights, the fungi
to be seen in so many places again
attract the attention of the nature
lover. There are many false stories
about mushrooms. But it is far
wiser to let all of them alone, I'M
less you are absolutely expert in
distinguishing the edible ones from
those which are poisonous.
Knowing something about them
is a far more profitable thing than
eating them. There are such in
teresting points of variance about
members of the same family and

so much to look for, if you are try
ing to test your own powers of
observation, that it will repay you
in greater degree than to feast
upon even the safe ones.
In the genus Tricholoma, the
members have white spores and no
collar rests upon the stem. The gills
are attached to the stem. They are
notched on the edge either at, or
close to, the stem.
In the lovely thin woods, where

fine groups of the blewets or masked

The finest ones are found in Sep

are highly priced. They are also in

NAzI5 WON'T COLLAPSE EASILY, I5 WARNING OF
 FORMER NAzI OFFICIAL
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Jan. IT, A former counsellor of the German Embassy in Washington, now seem- ingly in poor standing with the Nazi regime, can give you few fresh Slants on the European war. In a three-column letter to the New York Times, the former coun- sellor, Ernest Wilhelm Meyer, cau- tions against thing that Ger many will collapse easily and sug- gests that the Allies may have to revise their propaganda if they ex- pect to undermine Hitler.
 Of the need of raw materials and the effectiveness of the blockade, he saws:
 Only major lana battles result in a very large consumption of copper, cotton, rubber, etc., and if, under the protection of his Vest wall, Hitler refrains from major land battles, his need for raw ma- terials will be greatly limited"
 Of the oft-expressed view that Goering is a conservative with whom the Allies could negotiate a peace if Hitler were removed, Meyer says:
 "To regard Goering as a con- servative is tantamount to calling Gandhi a warmonger or TrotSky a capitalist"
 Of the Russian alliance, he says:
 "The final attitude of Russia is undetermined; the chances of ever closer cooperation with Hitler's bolshevized Germany are many times greater than the opposite chances"

 The President was asked whether Alaska Gov. Ernest Gruening's re- ported statement that 100 per cent Alaskans must be employed meant Aleutian Islanders.
 The President took no sides m the dispute and the reporter who persisted in discussing the koolaK situation, got from the Chief Ex- executive, in conclusion, friendly facetious suggestion to go out and catch a salmon, which made the newsman feel better.

Weather has achieved wha di- plomacy has failed to produce - peace on the European battlefields through a temporary lull of fight ing.
 This lull has extended through out the snow choked Finnish, Rus sian war zone and along the Vest ern Front where extreme cold has paralyzed the little fighting there has been between the Germans and Allies.
 Temperatures as low as 5l degrees below zero are reported in some parts of Finland, making major military operations virtually impos- sible. It is the coldest in 25 years
 The severe weather has increased suffering among the Finnish victims of Soviet air raids but gave respite to Russian land attacks.
 The Finnish forces are reported still holding their lines from five to ten miles inside the Russian from tier near Leiska, on the east cen- tral front where consistent pro- gress has been made during the past three weeks.
 Sweeping air raids of the past five days also tapered off up to noon today.
 There was one air attack yester- day. Russian air raiders dropped 19 bombs on Hanko, the southwestern Finnish naval base.
