along its margin, and the upper In
side surface Is covered with glands
secreting q juice. Among these
glands on each lobe are three bris-
ties, set in triangle, each bristle
hinged at the base and very sensi-
tive.
When an insect, attracted by the
brilliant red color inside the leaf,
disturbs the bristles, the leaf lobe
suddenly closes up around it, the
spines along the edges interlocking
to hold the prisoner fast. The
glands then secrete a digestive fluid
and absorb all the heterogeneous mat
ter in the insect. 1t takes q leaf
many days to digest one bit of prey,
and the same leaf is rarely able to
digest more than two or three during
its life.
The mechanism Of the flytrap is
not fully understood, but botanists
lately have said that the springlike
action apparently got its power from
capillary action-the same force
which causes fibrous leaves and arms
OF plants to stand erect. The OPEN
ing and shutting Of the dual Harmed
leaf Is believed to correspond
roughly to the whiting and reviving
of plants through the absorption
and dehydrating capacity of all
plants.
The f1ytrap is snowy little
plant and in May sends up a bril-
liant blossom, which is easily found.

| Mexicons Keen
| Wishing Shrine
| Tradition Alive

TUCSON, AriZ., Dec. 26.-One of
the most popular spots in the Old
Pueblo these days is the historic
Wishing Shrine, located in a sec
ton of the city now chiefly inhab-
tied by Mexicans, about one of
whose heroes the wishing shrine
legend is woven.
The shrine is the burial place of a
Mexican named Ramon; that much
is definitely known. The story has
1t that Ramon was sort of Mex
lean Robin Hood tossing his loot
through the windows of the needy,
1dolized by the poor and hated by
the rich, he was finally killed and
buried at the spot where the shrine
now stands. Believers in Ramon
built the shrine and ever since have
burned candles for his spirit. Many
of them believe that the burning of
sufficient candles causes him to ride
again.
There is little showmanship in the
serious ritual of these descendants
OF poems who nightly bring their
pennies and candles to the shrine.
While few of Tucson's visitors take
seriously the Ramon fantasy, none
can fail to be impressed with the
obvious sincerity of the Mexicans
who have made rite of attending
the simple outdoor shrine.

Rare Venus FIytrop Found
Near Carolina Resort

PINEHURST, N. c.. Dec. 26.-The
rare and fascinating Dionaea
muscipula Venus flytrap) has been
discovered in fairly numerous COL
ony in Moore County, but Richard
Tufts. who knows the location, won't
breathe it to soul. He is fearful,
he said, lest garden enthusiasts dig
them up and carry them away for
transplanting. Experimenting with
the meat-eating fytrap he has kept
them alive in his home for three
years.
The flytrap, which Darwin once
called the most remarkable plant in
the world, grows in New Hanover
and Brunswick Counties of North
Carolina. A few have been found
in Cumberland and adjacent sec
tions, but the colony near Pine
hurst-l40 miles from Wilmington
is believed the most distant from the
natural habitat.
The f1ytrap grows profusely in
savannahS and likes sandy soil and
plenty of sunshine. North Carolina
gardeners have transplanted them
with indifferent success, and at
tempts to make them take to the
soil in other States have not been
successful.
The plants leaves are in rosettes
and have broad stems. Each leaf
ends in two lobes and are hinged at
the midrib. Each lobe has spines

ORLANDO, Fla, Dec. 26.-With
bus lines connecting Orlando and
the famous fishing spots of Central
Florida, Northern anglers this win
ter will find that they can pursue
their favorite sport despite the war

Orlando long has been known to

7-Day-a-Week Army
OF j. :. Draws Praise

Critics of clock watchers and
other leisurely military workers in
Australia are comparing them un-
favorably with the American mill

A demand has arisen for ":seven-

that at army headquarters in Sgd

workers stream away on the tick
Of o'clock" leaving nobody in au-
thority to answer questions.
Said one of the critics: ~. S. A.

If it's a court-martial. Sunday is
as good as any other day to hold

days nor hours make any difference.

Miami Beach Emphasizes
Stacks for Work, PLAY.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Dec. 90
Work, play and relax in slacks" is
the latest fashion bulletin to ema-
nate from Miami Beach. .
Swank salons on famous Lincoln
road are tailoring and featuring
slacks for both active and spectator
sportswear. Members of the Miami
Beach winter colony love them for
long lazy afternoons on the SUM-
drenched beaches or for rolling
bandages in the local Red Cross
room: for sailing on blue Biscayne
Bay or for sessions of gin rummy
in one of the colorful hotel cabanas:
slacks for bicycling along the palm
lined boulevards and ocean front
drives or for slipping long, cool drinks
and dancing at the favorite cocktail
lounge or terrace.
The new slacks this season are
narrow, tailored as smoothly as the
smartest military uniform and made
in lovely materials. You will see
them in rich wool gabardines. ray
ons, flannel and faille. They are
extremely slim and -cuffiess,
of course.

Arabian Food Rivals

Correspondent Finds
North African Sheiks Vie
For Honor Of Serving
Motive 'Delicocies'
BY WILLIAM H. sTONEMAN,

BY WILLIAM H. STONEMAN,
Foreisn Correspondent Of The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
SOUK-EL-KHEMIS, Dec. "a (De-
layeO.-We've been dive bombed,
semi dive bombed, shelled. ma
chine-gunned and sniped at during
this slight campaign in North
Africa, but all of that is nothing
compared with Arab hospitality.
1t is one thing to duck into q
trench while the stun whistles
overhead or Stukas create a local
earthquake. 1t is another thing to
have to. take 1t inside. Having
fallen into the hands Of few
local Arab chieftains and big time
Arab fathers for "a hours, we are
now ready to return to the front
with pleasure.
Food Handled Like Sawdust.
Last night there was what was
described In advance as modest
little dinner for two of us. 1t
consisted of mountain of spaghetti
with garlic sauce and platter of
young lamb which they dumped on
our plates as though it was saw
dust. There followed ounce
dessert-a solid and delightful COM
position which would take the blue
ribbon at any American country
fair. Later, as full as billy goats,
we were forced to go to the neigh
boring domicile of the local sheik,
where we were stuffed with piles
of succulent seedless oranges, ex-
cellent mint tea and much local
gossip.
Today we returned to lunch with
the brother of the gentleman who
had previously entertained us. 1t
was a cooscoos luncheon. Cooscoos
is wheat meal carefully kneaded
and stepped in the fumes of chicken
broth, served doused in the broth
with meat and vegetables. We
had hors d'oeuvres, then cooscoos
then boiled chicken, then a spinach
omelette and oranges.
Asked to Return.
Two local Arab chieftains, whose
names cannot be mentioned, sat at
the end of the room gazing at us
while seven Of us bolted our food,
making light conversation and de-
manding that two of us Americans
should return to eat there every
evening.
You haven't eaten anything"
they kept saying. Don't try to look
down there at your place. Come
here and eat with US We sug-
gested that we had to get out to
the front as soon as possible-an
ut-and-out lie.
Our good friends here apparently
are all engaging in competition as
to who shall have the Americans
in to eat roast lamb first. The
sheik insists he has the first call
and the others are equally demand
ing. AS far as your correspondent
is concerned, he is going back to
bully-beef and biscuits.

SANTA FE, N. Mex, Dec. 26.-
The Santa Fe Trail, running from
Independence, Kans.. to Santa Fe,
was approximately 800 miles long.
In the early days of the trail trav-
elers along this route were subject
to attack by the Arapahoe Indians
who numbered about 275 warriors

400 warriors on the Arkansas River,
and the Comanche Indians. who hao

broke into two churches, with head
quarters at Constantinople and
Rome. That continued until the
last 400 years, when churches broke
off from parent bodies in great
numbers. Today there are 247 de-
nominations in this country alone.
But since 1927 the trend has
about-faced.
| The climax came with the church
men and women who have just met
in Cleveland 1t came so swiftly,
finally, because the challenge OF
Fascism is so utterly basic that now,
they contend, there can be no diff
ference between Protestant, Jew or
Catholic in the stand they take.
Fascist Terrors Pointed Out.
They point out Fascist terrors
that are common knowledge now:
The dictator's attempt to kill the
belief in a universal God, to kill
the idea of the sacred rights Of an
individual and the notion of God
as the last resort in question be-
tween right and wrong.
Those are distractions, but the
churchmen pointed out what man
can do who loses those distractions:
He can, as the Nazi youth has done,
tattle on their gentler parents, al
though it meant death for the par
entS; he can, as the JapS have done,
bayonet nurses, or, like the Nazls,
ignore the sorrows of Polish fam
ily scattered and lost to each other,
perhaps forever.
Henry Smith Leiper, secretary OF
the World Council of Churches,
pointed out how basic Christianity
has become in this country; so basic
we fail to recognize it. He used a
common phrase, mo decent fellow
would do that" He pointed out the
man who uses that phrase often
thinks he does so because he's a
gentleman. But actually his family's
notion of a gentleman's code has
roots in the Christmas religion.
Mr.. Leiper also pointed out that
our courts of justice, our Declara-
ton of Independence, with it's "All
men are created equal" all trace
back to Bethlehem.
Well. who's involved in this mer-
ger? How will it work? They're
long names: The Council of Church
Boards of Education, the Federal
Council of Churches, the Foreign
Missions Conference, the Home Mis-
sions Council. the international
Council Of Religious Education, the
Missionary Education Movement,
the United Councils of Church
Women and the United Stewardship
Council.
They plan an overall body called
THE North American Council of
Churches of Christ"
That body is to have just four
divisions to do all the work of the
many agencies named above: The
divisions of church and community,
Christian education, home missions
and foreign missions. They will
develop the basic philosophy and
programs to be carried out by all
the country's non-Roman churches
no matter what denomination.
They'll be augmented by handful
OF commissions, bureaus and COM
mlttees but the general program will
be correlated by small board.
1t could mean a reduction of
stalls. 1t could also mean larger
staffs, because church work would
grow.

Tibet Misses Comforts
Imported From u. S.

Tibet is feeling the economic
effects of the war, and the Dalai
Lama in Lassa is worried. Because
the United States is unable to i'm
port their wool, the Tibetans must
do without some imports to which
they have been accustomed.
OF their 100000 pounds of wool
year 100000 pounds normally
went to India by pack train through
the high mountain passes, and a
large part of this supply was i'm
ported by the United States. With
the proceeds from the sale of wool
the Tibetans bought piece goods, rice,
copper, brass, silver, cement, tea and
corrugated iron.
At present only food and cloth are
available from India, while Tibet
calls for tea and piece goods.

artizans and craftsmen, now pris-

furniture and toys in Johannesburg.
The proceeds were credited to the

solid walnut. and mechanical toys
were sold. The captives continue
