Pears grow on trees; that is, real
pears do. Yet something often called
q pear grows on a cactus plant. 1t
Is the fruit Of ''the prickly pear"
Before telling about the fruit,
should like to speak Of the plant
itself. 1t was given the name with
good reason, since it has sptnes and
prickles all over 1t.
There are many kinds Of oak trees,
also many kinds of prickly pear
plants. Indeed. there are far more
kinds OF prickly pears than Of oaks,
the total number counted being
about $50.
The prickly pear is native Of the
New World, but it has travelled
widely since white men first came to
this side Of the Atlantic. Today we
find 1t in Southern Europe, in some
parts of Africa and in Australia.
The sharp spines and prickles
guard the prickly pear from enemies.
Grazing animals do not care to eat
1t, since it would not feel good going
down.
On the islands of the West Indies
some farmers plant prickly pears in
rows. In that way they grow
hedges which serve as a fence to
keep animals from going past.
Such animals as turtles may slip
past prickly pears with no harm. A
turtle must be glad 1t has armor
over its body when 1t goes past the
prickes.
Insects Of a certain kind feed on
prickly pears. They are known as

Then with the arrival of Baltic
Germans and Germans from the

On Sept. u. 1889. Germany
announced confiScation of the en-

for the benefit of the Reich.
The administration of this state
property, the value of which
in German-occupied territory
amounts TO at least Is milliardS

hands of an institution called

This state property consists ri

After the entrance Of the Ger

Cultural, Artistic
Goods Seized

After a few months of German
rule all of the landowners, Of
whom there were many in Poz-
mania and Pomerania, KaliSz,
Woloclawek and Flock, were de-
prived of their right to dispose of
their property.
Then in February. 1910, the
Germans issued an order for the
sequestration of all non-German
agricultural property.
Besides the material losses re-
sulting from the larger landed
estates. the poles also were robbed
of their cultural and artistic pos
sessions. which represented years
of collecting and most difficult to
replace.
Seizure Of property finally be-
came so general that many Poles
set fire to their homes and killed
their horses and cattle so as not
to have them grabbed up by the
Germans.
Wherever the German admins
tration struck roots in the
incorporated" areas, mass ex-
preparations of Poles were started.
In numerous cases they took the
form of plain confiscation.

Arkansas Postor Adopts
Political BoIIyhoo'
Methods for Church

By Wide World.
FORREST CITY. Ark.-Adapting
the methods of the late Senator
Huey Long to the example of John
Wesley, an East Arkansas Methodist
preacher has multiplied his field of
evangelism many times with $3.50
gospel trailer"
In it's first month of operation
alone the tiny trailer attracted 4.450
hearers in the sparsley-settled re-
gion. while its founder and operator
the Rev. Paul Galloway. preached to
only 1,443 persons, within his church
here.
Mr.. Galloway said he built the
trailer because he decided so much
political ballyhoo" was spread by
sound trucks that something good
ought to come from them."e
A novel idea in the Methodist
Church, it has caught on rapidly.
Church officials in other States have
asked for plans and blueprints, Mr.
Galloway says.
A two-wheeled affair with neither
roof nor walls, it is built on simple
lines. On the platform are pulpit
with amplif1er attached, turn
table stand and storage space for
bibles and hymnbooks. From the two
outside corners rise loud-speakers.
Cost OF the trailer itself was $l25;
the public address system took $40
more, and SIS was spent for record
ings of religious music.
More than so per cent of those
who crowd around the loud-speakers
are not regular church attendants,
Mr.. Galloway says, but an "amaz-
ing" number return time after time
to listen, and already many of them
have begun attending church serv-
ices regularly as result.
During its first month the trailer
Travelled approximately 400 miles.
but it's founder plans a wider scope
for its activities in the future. In
two weeks during July 1t is to go to
Al communities within a 500-mile
radius of Forrest City.
Bishop C. c. Selecman of Okla
homa City dedicated the trailer
early in April in a service appro-
priately combining the official dedi-
cation rituals for a new church and
new organ.

doors evangelical activities of John

disclosing military secrets such as
location of synthetic plants.
Before reporters and spectators
were excluded from the committee
room, Charles NJ Weis, a New York
chemical engineer, gave the COM
mittee a report of a recent inspec-
tion of the Publicker alcohol and
rubber plant at Philadelphia.
Mr.. Weis assured the committee
members that the production proc
esses they saw on a recent visit to
the plant were genuine, adding with
grin that this is no gold from

He said no avenue of approach
should be overlooked in attacking
the rubber shortage problem.
Process Called Practicable.
Mr. Weis related that he had been
asked by the Army Navy Munitions
Board to inspect the Polish process
under way at the Publicker plant.
He was requested, he said, to deter
mine two things: The chemistry of
the process and the whether the
process could be carried out on a
large scale,
His investigation showed, he said,
that the process did produce buta-
diene-the base for synthetic rub
ber-from 100 per cent ethyl alcohol
in single step, with a yield of ap-
proximately % pounds of butadiene
per gallon of alcohol and a possibil-
ity of stepping it up to 25 pounds
per gallon.
His inspection convinced him, Mr..
Weis declared, that the process was
capable of expansion to full-scale
operations. He expressed the belief
that large-scale plants could be con-
structed with "a reasonable degree
of success" asserting he saw no un-
usual engineering difficulties in

he viewed at the plant to full scale,
