who pursuies an evil course after his conscience bids him heed the red light signal and turn back, Is counting disaster. The man who knows every day that all Is not well with his soul and yet does nothing to heal the open sore, is getting himself ready for outer darkness.
 The time to quit anything evil is now. The person to consult in such matters is yourself. It depends on who calls you 6 quitter as to whether it's to be chased an tn- suit or q compliment. Just as there are times when flight Is noble. so there are times when quitting is . virtue.

 When he was defeated the Sem ate mourned, felt he never could be replaced.
 The man who defeated ninl has sat in the Senate for eight long months completely mute. Ash- urst, always c gentleman, called him 0 fine Senator and fair opponent; but other Senators said nothing. Even in the press gallery few knew who he was. No one could say definitely where he stood. He had voted for de- fense measures, but lined up With the iSolatloniSts against the draft extension bill.
 Undoubtedly this was why sen- ator Wheeler made Ernest w. McFarland the fifth member of the isolationist packed coHnmlt- tee to investigate Hollywood. He was counted on to be Q mere fig- urehead, non troublesome win. dow-dresslng.
 Little did Wheeler realize he was to become Q Fifth C0lum- mist.
 Secret strategy of the Isolation istS was to launch Q barrage of scorching attacks on the movies by Senators Nye and Bennett Clark, co-authors of the investi- gation, and other hand-picked sharp shooters. And with no critical questioning anticipated from the hand-picked cominit- tee, the isolationists were ceunt- ing on big publicity jamboree all their own way.
 But the man who took Ash- ursts place In the Senate com. pletely fooled them.
 Out of Q clear sky and to the goggle-eyed aStonishment of the four isolationist probers, rookie Senator Mcfarland subjected Nye and Clark to & grnling that had them squirming in pained dis tress. When they had finished running the gauntlet of his slow spoken questions he had drawn from them these embarrassing admissions:

 That they had based their at-

ONE REAL FLY

There are two flies in the oint- ment of American production of Japanese lilies. One is just exactly that-an aphid-a member of that vast family of tiny winged bugs that prey on many fruits and plants and clutter up the street lights and even swarm into the houses on summer nights. It is this aphid that carries the virus which de- stroys the bulbs. The hordes of ar- hids being what they are, the only thing that can be done is to de- velop disease resistant plant.
 The other difficulty is to pro- duce plants that can stand fore ing" (artificial heat treatment to bring them to bloom at the de- sired time) without blasting destruction and even tearing of the petals as the buds bursD.
 In any event, you can bet that the Department of Agriculture for the next year is going to have a sharp eye on Terrebonne an Scuppernong.

Student of Eagle Dies
 In Juneau

A man who has spent the sum- mer studying the diet of bad eagles is in Juneau today.
 He is Ralph H. Imler, of the Fish and Wildlife Service. who arrived here on the Black Bear, patIol boat of the Alaska Game Commission along with H. R. Sarber, Fish and Wildlife Service Agent.
 When the territorial legislature failed to appropriate funds to pay eagle bounties. Imler came to AL aska, in early spring, to study the food habits of the big birds and de- termine whether an thilg the eagles are eating is valuable en- ough to justify offering a bounty to persons who shoot the birds.
 He will continue his study through Southeast Alaska for another month and when his report on the eagles oiatary habits is completes it will immediately be made available to territorial officials.
 Already, Imler has analysed the stomach contents of hundreds of bald eagles and has spent smany hours observing the daily life of the birds.
 Another Fish and Wildlife Service boat expected to arrive here today is the Grizaley Bear, which has been on patrol duty in Icy Straits and the Sitka district the past few days. a.

(Continued from Page One) from these that the lily plant comes. So far, in this country, the bulbs have been subject to mali cious disease which either destroys the bulb altogether or prevents its division into scales. Whether the bureau has got a disease resistant bulb that can be grown in great quantities is not positive, but with our whole supply shut off they are going to darn well find out. Here's how:
 From the old Farm Resettlement Administration, the Farm Secur- ity Administration inherited sev- eral big farms. One was Soup pernong Farms, in North Caro- lima, near Cape Hatteras and not far from Dismal Swamp. The other was Terrebonne Farms in the Cain country of the Mississippi Delta.
 On these two farms, the FSA intends this summer to put out 10000 hand-picked bulbs. It is a purely experimental effort, but if it is successful, it will result in a half million scales and next spring, 50O,O0O more lilies-more than half the total of the United States present crop. It would also give the country big jump on a new plant industry-one that could be developed in the South where the farmers have suffered most and where farm relief has been the greatest burden.
