BY Lillian Cor Afhev

Venus has a varied and wonderful
equipment If we are to judge by the
number of strange things named
for her special use. To observe the
performance of her fly-trap is to
marvel at almost human action in
coordination.
This trap or flower is meat
eater. 1t is a member of the Sundew
family ard is found in the bogs
near Wilmington, N. c., and such
localities nearby. The flowers are
white and without fragrance. To
have any would be useless since the
leaves become the death house of
insects and the odor is anything
but sweet.
The blossoming time Of the Venus
f1y-trap is during the early spring
months. The flowers, growing from
a scape in a flat-topped umbel, are
attractive. The leaves, the most
fascinating part of the plant, are
long and narrow, terminated by a
bristly or toothed bordered trap.
They are either green or scarlet in
side. This is canny trick to entice
the insects by color and even per-
haps by scent.
The cunning scheme of the Venus
fy-trap is to open wide the scarlet
or green portals. The sun, shining
on the brilliant interior, attracts
the attention of the wayfaring
insect in search of pollen or nectar
This color display gets the flier's
favorable interest. A landing is
made at once. There seems to be
a shining, open portal, with nothing
in the way to hinder hungry in
sect from making tour of investi-
cation. Those teeth-lined edges
have escaped the notice of the
guest completely. Indeed, what
would these bristles mean to such
guest-nothing at all.
So the f1ier sort of drops in. In
doing SO, the edges of the trap are
touched and the doors begin to
close slowly. Before the caller is
aware of the true situation, the
trap doors begin to crush the little
victim, and in a short time, the trap
is digesting its dinner. There are
minute glands which pour out a
secretion upon the hapless prisoner.

are being manufactured by Donald
Roebling at Clearwater, Fla.
With defense spending scheduled
to keep rising through the spring
as war industry gets into production
on a large scale. trade forecasts
were based on expectation of an in
creasing consumer demand for
goods.
These trends, it was contended,
may be expected to focus congress
sional attention on the question of
taking a large portion of defense
costs out of lower income levels to
check competition of growing civilian
demand for goods as industry be-
comes more heavily engaged in de-
fense production.

GOOD NEIoHsoR POLICY

Gisele Shaw, a young woman
from Buenos Aires, Argentina,
furnishes some information con-
corning ourselves which we can
we'll add TO the list OF important
Items.
As an Official representative Of
her government, sent here TO inves-
tigate our prisons, she has dis
covered 10 her surprise that while
our institutions are considered SUI
perior to those OF the southern
countries, there are obvious lapses
in the zeal or judgment OF depart
ment planners.
But OF more wide spread import
ance than weaknesses in our pri-
sons Is our weakness in courtesy.
An experience of our visitor fur
nishes evidence OF this point, which
We have frequently mentioned in
this column. We lack understand
ing and courtesy in dealing with
our. Latin-American neighbors.
The, experience story runs SONS
thing like this: John Gunther.
whose Inside South America" is
Just coming onto the market, ac-
cepted lavish hospitality from
Gisele Shaw and her friends dur
ing his stay in Argentina. Their
generosity should have been doub-
ly appreciated since it was offered
at the suggestion OF friend OF
Gunther's in New York.
When planning to come TO New
York the Argentinian wired the
author expecting. naturally enough,
that he might offer a stranger some
friendly recognition. None came
upon her arrival, and after a three
months soujourn in the metropo-
lis, there was still no greeting from
Mr.. Gunther.
OF course Mr.. Gunther Is a busy
man, he may have had plenty OF
excuses, but to accept hospitality
and fail to acknowledge it when
opportunity was presented is not
n keeping with the South Ameri-
can idea OF being a good neighbor
Another story OF similar signifi-
canoe has 10 do with the son OF a
prominent government official who
accepted special courtesies and
then sent out highly uncompliment-
airy stories.
Another story Is Of young man
who has been writing stories for
newspapers about his experiences
in South America. He started writ.
ing about the great difficulties OF
travel, but when he was reminded
that buses are running regularly
along the routes he has taken, he
decided to write about how easy II
is to travel in South America. His
stories about .hardships made no
friends for him or for the United
States. Later he was arrested and
held in Jail for what officers con-
sidered suspicious conduct.
These are relatively inconsequen-
tial recordings OF few OF the many
unfavorsble impressions being
made by American tourists. We
are looked coon as ignorant, rich
and arrogant. The best move that
President Roosevelt could make
10 further his Good Neighbor policy
would be 10 require knowledge o.
the language OF the country to
which any American d,A.res to trav-
Ell before a passport is issced. And
make sure that that rule applies
10 his government officials. Such
a rule would cut the foreign tourist
business down to those who he We
some understanding OF the couc-
tries they visit and would help to
correct the unfavorable impress
sions our tourists have spread to
practically all parts OF the world
