This of confirms the impression the majority of the
American people have had about the administration.
Ever since Pearl Harbor and long before the people have

Georgetown University's baseball

double header on Saturday against
Norfolk's Naval Training Station at

Fishing is tied up irrevocably with
boating. Many fishermen have their
own cruisers, and because most of
them are laid up for the duration
we are noting the urgent need for
radio equipment in the hope unused
sets might be released for active
service
Transmitters and receivers operat-

band and of so watts or less. COM
plete with equipment to operate on
IL, 80 or ITO volts are desired.
We will be glad to help In picking
up these sets, but 1t is best TO write
to Capt. Lucier j. Ker, United States
Coast Guard, Post Once Box $40,
Norfolk, Va, giving full information
make, model, serial number, volt
age and general condition.
In turning in these sets the Coast
! Guard desires to buy them outright,
and because there is no personal use
possible now it is not only patriotic
but wise idea to turn in now and
get an up-to-date set when 1t IL
possible to use them once more.

on the wet ground will strike root
at every joint. AS the wind plays
the important role of pruner to the
trees, the willows have been trans
ported by water to many distant
places. As soon as q twig becomes
lodged on banks or sandbars, its
first urge is to send out tiny roots.
Soon, these places are covered with
dainty green leaves, and later
sturdy shrubs will be conserving the
soil.
All willows begin to grow with
the first warm days of spring. The
weeping willows remain green
throughout the year in some cli-
mates. The male and female cat
kins are found on different trees
before the leaves arrive. BY the
time the foliage is fully grown, the
tiny seeds, each equipped with q
hfebelt about its middle and silky
down to act as a parachute, are
riding the airways. These seed
children are low in vitality, and
before the day is done they must
fall on moist soil or perish. But, as
we have said. the willow twig will
take root wherever moisture is
present-so the seed children are not
so vital to the prosperity of the
willows.
If you will cut young willow sticks
OF the same length and stick them
in an orderly row in wet soil. you
will have. in very short time, a
growing willow fence or hedge-and
what could be more attractive?

BY RAMON COFFMAN.

Trevithick built steam motor
ears which would carry loads over
public roads Then came others
who built large machines to carry
passengers.
Sir Goldsworthy Gurney was one
Of the leaders in starting steam
transport on the roads Of England.
He was q rich man, and was willing
to spend money for large machines
to run over the rough highways of
that time
In 1929 Gurney boarded q steam
coach and travelled from London to
Bath, then back again. During
much of the journey, the speed was
Is miles per hour. One of the men
who went with him reported:
The success Of the trial much
exceeds what could have been ex-
pected. Hills were assembled with
the greatest ease and safety. The
machine far surpassed horse-drawn
coaches"
Gurney's "horseless carriages"
were very much like stage coaches.
except that they were fitted with
steam engines. One of them had
room for 18 passengers. 1t had

addition to four large wheels. It
carried load of coke and 60 gallons
Of water.

spring-the delicate green bark can
be so readily seen from distance.
Among the watercourses, most of
the members of the willow family
find a congenial habitat. However,
in a very large family. which num-
bers more than ITO species, some Of
them are going to adapt themselves
to the environment In which they
have cast their lot. Therefore, you
will find that willows vary from
great trees to small shrubs. Tiny
trees no more than 6 inches high
producing the characteristic catkins
and narrow leaves of the willow are
found on the arctic tundras
When the hosts of Caesar in
vaded England in the first century,
they found the Britons defending
themselves quite effectively behind
shields woven of willow wood and
protected from the sight OF their
foes by small huts made Of wattled
willows plastered with mud.
The rots of willows are fibrous
and tough. They spread rapidly
and are very useful in binding the
banks OF streams where the valuable
topsoil would wash down to sea
without something to anchor it. II

Farmer Browns boy had set up in
the middle of the cornfield to scare
away Blacky the Crow and his rela-
tives. 1t looked very much like a
man, very much indeed. 1t was
this that frightened away Redtail
and saved Little Mite. You see,
while Redtail wasn't sure that it
was a man he wasn't sure that it
wasn't a man, and having learned
long ago that the most foolish thing
any one can do Is to run a needless
risk, he decided not to go too near.
And 50 1t was that Little Mite was
saved by the scarecrow.
But he didn't know this. He
didn't know anything about the
scarecrow. All he knew was that
Redtail had stopped chasing him,
for which he was very thankful.
But he kept on running just the

see he knew all about hay and
straw and as he burrowed his way
in he felt quite at home and for
the first time since he had run away
from home he felt quite safe. He
was very tired after his long run
from Redtail the Hawk and so the
first thing he did was to make a
place big enough to curl up in COM
fort. Then he went to sleep and
for once he had no bad dreams.
When he awoke he couldn't think
where he was at first. Then he
remembered. It was dalk and coy
and comfortable in there and he
decided that it was a very good place
to stay If he could find enough to
eat without going too far away. He
felt quite sure that he would be
safe there and perhaps if he stayed
there his father and mother might,

Though with a load it may explode,

That was what the jingle said,
but Qurneys coaches really ran
fairly well. They took many per-
sons safely from place to place.
Another Englishman, Walter Han

about the same time. He made trips
With passengers who paid for the
adventure.
Automobiles might have come into

just might, happen along that way
some day. First he would find out
all about his new hiding place. So
he burrowed his way up through the
hay and straw until he came to a
queer substance such as he had
never seen before. It was made of
threads very close together. He
tried gnawing this queer substance,
but the threads caught in his teeth
and he gave that up. OF course
you know what it was. 1t was the
coat which Farmer Browns boy
had fastened around the bundle of
hay and straw to make it look like
q man.
Little Mite had perfectly glorious
time exploring. He climbed all over
and through that scarecrow. He
even climbed up to the battered old
hat that was on the very top. And

same, hoping that he would come
to safe hiding place. And so at
last he came to the scarecrow. Now
Little Mite saw nothing in that to
be afraid Of. You see, he had been
out in the Great World so short q
time that he had never seen a man
and so he wasn't at all afraid of
the scarecrow because it looked like
a man. 1t didn't move, so right
away he made up his mind that it
was nothing to fear. He was very,
very anxious to get somewhere out
of sight and the opening to one of
the pants legs looked like a good
place. He hesitated just a moment
and then up he scrambled.
Presently he came to a mass of
hay and straw. It was the body of
the scarecrow. Then Little Mite
was sure this was a safe place. You
