cacti, Native TO Western
World, Abound in Species

Cacti are native to the Western
hemisphere, with the possible excep-
ton of Rhipsales, and there are 1900
recognized specimens and subdivi-
sions. They are dicotyledonous, Pc
rennial and succulent in all cases,
succulent making them capable Of
storing within themselves sufficient
moisture to enable them to with
stand arid conditions.
In most cases leaves are absent
but when they are present, they are
small and soon fall. Roots vary
greatly, being fibrous in most in
stances, although they may be tu-
berous, aerial or taprooted. Bios
SONS are usually large and snowy
and the fruits are berries that in
many cases are edible.
The distinguishing mark of the
cactus is in the areoles, specialized
organs from which spring branches,
flowers, spines, glochids (barbed
hairs) and, when present, leaves.
The position and number of these
areoles are determining factors in
differentiating species, as are also
the number, form and position of
the spines.

Charley Horse Not Cramp

A Charley horse, the bane Of
baseball players and other athletes,
is not muscle cramp, but an in
jury to muscle, according to the
Journal of the American Medical
Association. A Charley horse or
muscle injury and cramp are of
entirely different pathologic origins,
the article says, adding that massag-
ing is not advisable for a Charley
horse, but is advisable for a cramp.
In discussing treatment, the article
gives this advice: '4n the acute
stage at the onset of Charley horse
the leg should be packed in ice about
the injured area and held quiet for
half an hour to an hour. In the
acute stage subsequently for about
six weeks the leg should be placed
at rest in cast or splint and kept
quiet for 10 days, the patient con-
tinuing to wear the cast for six
weeks; diathermy, long wave treat
ments, should be given daily; heat
or contrast baths should be given;
gentle motion should be given every
few days to prevent stiffness.

Rat Control

Removal of waste foods, covering
of garbage, rat-proofng buildings,
and getting rid of possible breeding
and hiding places are steps to take
in preventing rat infestations. Two
rat poisons, Red Squill, a plant ex-
tract, and ANTU (Alpha-naphthyl-
thio-urea), a comparatively new
compound, are recommended for
control of rats. However, enough
bait must be set out to assure a 100
per cent kill or the poisoning pro-
gram will be ineffective. ANTU has
little effect against house mice and
if rats do not consume enough of
the poison to be killed, they will
avoid it for 80 days or more. II
necessary to rebait an area, use un-
poisoned food to lure the rats and
then apply poison. If after 30 days
control is ineffective, a change of
bait and poison is recommended.
Poisons must be kept away from
children and livestock.

l.Aln America lnterlaeed
With Extensive Air Routes

Latin America is today laced with
interior networks of airline routes
rivaling anything the worlds ma
jor air powers have produced, max
ing remote hamlets and isolated ma
tural wonders as accessible as the
metropolitan charms of Lima, Car
acas and Mexico City.
Brazil alone boasts more than &c.
600 miles OF unduplicated airline
routes, without even counting flights
across Brazilian territory by Pan
American Airways. Mexico's total
airline mileage, again excluding
Pan American as well as compet-
ing American Airlines routes, totals
1858 miles by latest Civil Aero
nautics board figures
The overall total for all Central
and South American countries ex-
ceeds 100000 miles of unduplicated
airline routes, representing almost
a 200 per cent increase over the
1914 figure. Many of the national
airlines now operating in Latin
America were developed by Ger
man and Italian combines before
the war, and seized by Latin
American governments soon after
Pearl Harbor. A majority, how
ever, represent new development
and enterprise, often in the face of
acute materials and personnel short
ages and almost unbelievable ma
tural obstacles.

Egg Buying

A dozen large eggs weigh at least
"a ounces; a dozen medium size eggs
weigh 81 ounces, and small pullet
eggs IS ounces. So a dozen pullet
eggs is equal in food quantity to
three-fourths of a dozen of large
eggs. If the price of small eggs
is less than three-fourths that of
large eggs-then they're a better
buy. With medium size eggs, if the
price is more than one-eighth lower
than large eggs-then they're a bet
ter buy. Brown eggs are a bargain
at any season if the price is lower
than white ones of the same size
since the food value of eggs is the
same whether the shell is brown or
white. Watch for the prices of diff
ferent grades of eggs, too. Remem-
Der lower grade eggs have just as
much food value as better grades.
Grade AA and A eggs are most
satisfactory for boiling, poaching or
frying. Grade B and c eggs, which
are usually cheaper, are entirely sat-
isfactory for many cooking and bak-
ing purposes.

Airline in Argentina
Reported Sabotaging
Agreement With u. ).
BY Ernie Hill
Fsrsisn Correspondent Of The Star and
the Chieooo Dolly News

BUENOS AIRES, July 12.-The
air agreement between the United
States and Argentina is being sabo-
tagged by Argentina's government
operated airline, aviation author
tiles here charged today.
A couple of feuds behind the
scenes. one of them involving the
United States, are threatening to
nullify the much negotiated and
loudly heralded air pact.
Suffering at this time is Braniff
Airways, which is unable to start
flying new route with It's southern
terminus at Buenos Aires. Braniff
already hys from Chicago to the
Gulf Of Mexico and has Civil Aero
nautics Board approval for the
Latin American run.
Negotiated and signed here more
than two months ago by James M.
Lands, CAB chairman, the agree
ment left one important matter un-
settled.
Details Still Unsettled.
Argentina's airline was supposed
to decide what ports of entry its
airline proposed to touch on the
east and west coasts Of the United
States. This was to be the basis
for readjustment OF routes for all
airlines Of both countries.
At that time Mr.. Lands said these
last details would be settled in two
or three weeks" however, officials
of F. "A. M. A., Argentina's chosen
instrument airline, refuse to say
what routes they want.
Requests from the American en-
Evening star., 1947-07-13

bassy for q decision have brought
the nat response that 1t may take
some months for r. A. M. A. to make
up its mind.
r. A. M. A. is without adequate
equipment or crews to start flights
to the United States. It is just get
ting its European flights on once
a-week schedule, 50 F. A. M. A. Is
in no hurry.
Braniff wants to start operations
at once. Pan American Airways and
Panagra are anxious for the agree
ment to become effective so they
can increase frequency OF flights.
Action May Be Delayed.
Now, action may be delayed many
months. or even a year. Argentina
can break the agreement and ask
for new negotiations if it wishes.
One of the feuds holding things
up is between Argentine aviation Of
|fcials and United States negotiators.
Almost year ago, Argentines de-
manded that the airlines OF the two
countries split all trafhc on $3.50
basis. The United States baked.
New negotiations here were about
to break down. George S. Messer-
smith, United States ambassador at
the time, went to President Juan
Domingo Peron for an aviation talk.
Mr.. Messersmith convinced Pres
ident Peron that his air people were
wrong. President Peron thereupon
told them to sign on United States
terms.
That irked the Argentines. Mr..
Lands made 1t worse on his return
to Washington with the ill-advised
statement indicating his belief that
he had pinned back Argentine ears.
The statement got big newspaper
play here.
The aviation squabble Is con-
sidered another indication of the
hard bargain being driven interna. .
tionally by Argentina at this time.

WHEN PICKETS FAIL
TO SHOW, BARKEEP
CALLS UNION DOWN

DUBLIN, May u. -W.H-A man
has been picketing Jim Dovney's
saloon in Dun Laoghaire for the
past eight years.
Jim fired a bartender in 1889
and the union didn't like it. Next
day this picket showed up. Ever
since then a union sandwich man
has been %patroling the entrance.
It's probably the longest strike on
record, even if it isn't the most
successful.
Jim has taken a philosophical
view of the situation. Sometimes
when the picket doesn't appear at
opening time - 1920 A. M. Jim
calls union headquarters and pro-
tests.
Whats the matter with you
guys" he'll say. I'm open for 10
minutes and there's NO picket.
Don't you know there's a strike on
here?" Then he'll smile and wait
for the answer.
The union knows about the
strike all right. but eight years is
a long time. They'd probably like
to forget the whole thing.
When the union called out Jim's
other employees in 1899, he had to
close down for a couple Of weeks.
Then he ran an add in the news
paper Offering higher wages for
bartenders than those set by the
union. Four hundred people ap-
Piled for the jobs.
Like other pub owners. Jim
sometimes has to close down for
a day or two because of the liquor
shortage. When he reopens,
though, he always drops the union
a little note.
