Some people wonder how a cactus thrives on a barren, dry
dessert-It thrives because it saves-Year after year cactus
survives the long, hot dry spells that kill many other kinds
of vegetation because it ABSORBS and STORES every pos
sible particle of moisture it can draw from the air or soil. Every
bit of rain after a shower, every drop of dew, is saved against
a time of drought.
Like cactus. folks who absorb and store" a part of what they
earn during their most productive years, build a reservoir OF
savings against financial "droughts"- These people know the
satisfaction of being able to meet a money emergency, and
many of these people have a savings account with us.

it on the table as arguments went

After a two-hour session, Senator
Cain could find no trace of either
the money or the envelope.

the Senator commented, that any
one has paid $50 for the privilege OF
conducting a hearing. on District
affairs. At the rate of $25 an hour
the price is little high"
He said he would assume, that
some one taking his papers from the
table by mistake also had scooped
up the $50 envelope. He was hop
Ing for its discovery and return.

a double fracture of the lower left

Backs Principle Of
UNIT After Hot Debate

After a lengthy debate in which
tempers f1ared, the Federation Of
Citizens Associations last night ap-
proved the principle of universal
military training.
The stormy debate arose when one

trict for one year. and asked that
the law be left essentially in its
present FORM -

of the tax on the sale of colored
margarine, providing consumers are
given full benefit of the tax reduc-
ton.

by the discussion of universal mill
tary training. Several delegates al
ready had spoken against UNIT or
against considering it at the session.
| When David Babp of the Connecti-
cut avenue association, secretary of
the Federation, drew the storm of
protest by declaring:
People who want to delay any
thing of military nature at this
time are not good citizens of the
United States"
He went on to say that 1t was
undemocratic to preach delay in
the name of democracy and re-
ferred to such talk as a 'lot of
hokum." The delegates began shout
ing to be heard and through the
uproar drifted the words "cowardly
attack"
After the situation was brought
under control by John H. Con-
naughton, federation president del
egates began to speak in protest.

differ on a matter of such i'm
portance."
Earl Otto said he would like ito
see Mr.. Babp retract."
Mr.. Babp rose to his feet and said :
The secretary does not retract any,
thing he said"
AS the debate continued. applause
followed most expressions in favor
Of the training program. A roll
call vote then showed that II dele
gates were for UNIT. FIVE were
against it and four did not vote.

and later action was resolution
