Natures Children
By LILLIAN COX ATHEY.
SCREW BEAN
(PrOsoDfs odOrdfn)

For centuries the screw bean tree
has supplied man and beast with
nourishing food. It Is known to the
Mexicans as the tornillo tree. The
unique fruits have been called rat
tlesnake's rattles." They resemble
to a remarkable degree headless
scrws Of generous size.
The tornillo has q range over our
southwest deserts, down In Old Mex
leo and westward toward California.
Where the soil Is almost sterile,
the shrub size is the best they can
accomplish. But the ones found in
richer soil and not far from water
reach a size where they may be used
for posts and fencing. They are slow
growers. But they remain in perfect
health for century or two.
Like their close cousin, the mes
quite, the tornillo anchors itself to
the earth by giant root that Is
larger than the tree trunk. When
wood Of the root is properly sawed
and divided, the grain Is very beau
tiful. This wood is made into hand
oOlAlC UutVOklo WIlCI hIC HOll0AACNl
with fine sandpaper and waxed with
floor wax until they glow like metal
The wood of the trunk is also
highly polished and made into but
tons, figures Of small animals, paper
knives, spoons and various curios. A
ready market is present always. The
Mexicans use the thorny branches
for thatching their homes. A layer
OF earth is spread over them. The
sun bakes 1t until it has an almost
tile consistency. The adobe becomes
waterproof dwelling.
Goat herders know where the fine
groves of tornillo trees may be
found. Their animals are fond OF
the tender, sweet pods as well as the
mature ones. In short time, all the
pods strewn on the ground disap-
pear. A vigorous shake Of the tree
brings down fresh shower.
These trees produce scanty
feathery foliage and catkin flowers
The fruit is the most interesting
feature. Along the stems will be

only a few thousand Italian resi-
dents, but great numbers of foreign
tourists have visited it. They have
cons. chiefly to see the Blue Grotto.
In a peacetime year, it was common
for from $4,000 to 10000 persons to
see this sight.
A Roman Emperor, Tberius, took
a great fancy to Capri. He went
there to live 10 years before his
death, and ordered the building OF
IL grand villas" or palaces"
Tiberius said that the IL palaces
were put up in honor of Roman
gods and goddesses, but they were
meant more for his own glory and
comfort, and for the use of his
favorites. The remains OF the pal
aces are to be seen today, and no
doubt have been visited by some Of
the Allied soldiers now on the island.
The Blue Grotto was known In
Roman times, but after the fall OF
the empire people lost sight of it
for centuries. 1t was "reopened" in
1926, and from that year to the pres
ent has been known to the modern
world.
People get into small boats to
enter the Blue Grotto OF Capri.
There is only a very low opening
for boat to pass through, and
visitors must be careful to bend over
so they will not bump their heads
at the entrance.
Inside the cave, it Is another
story. The ceiling rises to q height
Of 80 feet above the water. Under
the boat one sees deep water Of .
beautiful blush color. In some parts
Of the cave the water has q depth
of 40 feet.
The widest part of the Blue Grotto
measures close to 100 feet, and the
length is ITS feet.

have from ten to twenty complete

in each one
Since nature has Rot equipped
these seeds children with any
means Of transportation, they grow
up under their mother and form
large groves. True, Godfather Wind
sometimes rolls them over the desert
for short distance, thus giving the

pioneer in a new place
Mexicans for hundreds of years
have had great reverence for these
trees, and they also depnd on the

AT the same time. am told space
for the mail for our soldiers Is not
available and our men serving at
distant points all over the world
often go months without hearing
from home.

Of agony, not knowing the fate OF

tions which Controller General
Warren reported were operating
"outside the control of Congress
and without auditing checks by the
General Accounting Office.
The group includes IS subsidi-
aries Of the Reconstruction Finance
Corp, which advances the funds
to finance their operations, elm
mating the necessity for their execu-
tives to appear before congressional
appropriations committees to ex-
plain their need for money" Sen

ceeding virtually free of congress
sional check and GAO audit, while
the rest, including the RFC-f financed
Board OF Economic Warfare, were
subject to various types of audit and
control.
Subsidy Issue Raised.
1--WE were told that the RFC has
nearly exhausted the SIS 100000 900
of lending authority granted it by
Congress-" Senator Byrd said.
1--WE were told that the RFC was
paying subsidies for the transporta-
tion of oil and sugar and the storage
Of wool under the lease-lend agree
ment. I understand these subsidies
have reached about 100000 900.
The RFC is a lending agency. The
committee would like to know why
1t is paying out subsidies"

zens have taken their troubles to the
G. A. B.
OVER 1000 BUREAUS
The first bureaus opened their
doors barely one week after Eng
land declared war on Germany.
There were less than a dozen of
them scattered through the British
Isles. Today 1000 bureaus are OPP
Grating. The firt year the c. A. B.
handled 100000 worries, in the
second year the figure jumped to
1,750,0O0 then to 2,225,O00 for the
third year, reaching an imposing to-
tai of 100000 in the fourth.
Since 1899, millions of workers
concern has switched from the
DOGGY of unemployment to excess
sive demands for their labor.
Again, we'll into 1910, landlords
had vacant houses, sometimes even
entire blocks of apartments on
their hand. Today, unfinished
: houses and apartments are practi-
cally unobtainable. Rents Of fur
niShed places are from 100 to $50
per cent higher, and there is
wholesale profiteering all along the
line.
Concern about missing relatives
started with Dunkirk and now the
bureaus are beset by anxious fam
lilies to get new of next-of-kin in
the Near and Far East, and right
now, of men who have been made
prisoners in Italy.
MOST ARE VOLUNTEERS
There now are more than 5000
workers in the Citizens Advi"e
Bureaus; all but 5 per cent of
whom give their service -
tarily. They include housewives
with some knowledge and expert
ence of social service, schoolmas-
tiers, lawyers, clergymen and local
government official who can be
consulted on the many complica-
lions Of legislation which arise
from the war. They are there to
ease tax worries, to help assess
bomb damage or other losses
through enemy action, to unravel
the tangle of pensions of every
sort, principally old-age and war.
Within the last few months the
Citizens Advice Bureaus have
been training people for postwar
welfare work, which includes the
tracing Of relatives as well as solv-
ing the new kinds of problems
which will come with the return of
men and women in the services to
civilian life.
