Plants Discover Minerals

A possibility that certain types Of
plant growth may come to be more
widely used as clues to mineral de-
posits has been suggested by Uni
versity Of Wyoming workers. They
point out that selenium indicator
and accumulator plants are now
commonly relied upon as guides to
rocks and soils which carry that
element. They suggest that vegeta-
ton also may be used as guide to
other minerals. Certain toxic vege-
tation is known to carry relatively
high rare-metal values. molybde-

Hope lutheran School
More to come on 24one half
Christian parents, however
desire more than that. They
have the Lords command tc
bring up their children in the
nurture and admonition Of the
Lord. Unable to carry out this
command by themselves Chris
tian parents call upon the Chu
rch to assist them in bringing
up their children as redeemed
children Of God.
Aims Outlined
We know that the school
plays a tremendously impor-
tant part in the lives of our
children. The school influences
their ntire Development. The
character, their attitudes, and
their philosophy of life are af-
fected by what goes on in the
schoolroom. The success or ia
ilure, the veal or woe of our
children will depend Largely up
on the training they receive in
school.
Realizing this the Church
has established Christian day
schools where not only the sec
ular branches Of study are tau
ght but where also the teach
ings Of Gods word are given
careful study. 1t aims, further
more, to find and develope the
natural gifts and talents of the
child so that he may use them
in the service of God and his
fellow men. The pupils are OBJ
served and directed thoughtful-
ly in the affairs of their daily
lives. They are led so that they
also live that which they have
learned from the word of God.
Directed by Hope Lutheran
Hope Lutheran at 30th and
Corby is such a school. This
school is maintained and dir
ected by the pastor, teacher an
members Of Hope Lutheran Oh
urch. The course Of a study for
the required common school
subjects carefully meets the
standards fixed by the Omaha
Board of Education. Children
of non Lutheran parents are
required to pay small tuition
fee. Miss Ester Podewils, the
teacher of the school since its
very beinning, is a graduate
of Concordia Teachers College
Chicago, Ill. The 81 children
enrolled this year are divided
according to grades in the fol-
lowing manner: kindergarten
4, first grade 9, second grade
5, third grade 2, fourth grade 4,
fifth grade 5, sixth grade 5,
seventh grade /, eighth grade

I axe Ny Word for II
By Fronk Colby
HERE'S HOW THEY TALK.
John w. Snyder.
Secretary of the Treasury,
HORIZONTAL.

Voice: Medium baritone of husky,
unmusical quality. 1t has a little of
the frog voice horseness that marked
the radio speech of the late Wendell
Willkie: hence, 1t is a voice that
lacks expression and animation. Be-
cause of its poor timber, or, perhaps
I should say lack of resonance. the
Secretarys voice Is not well suited
for the radio.
Enumeration: Undistinguished but
clear enough as lay speakers go.
That is to say, Mr.. Snyder's articu-
lation does not have the flnesse OF
the trained public speaker; but one
understands him without difficulty.
Style: Slow and deliberate. too
much so at times, for he has a habit
of pausing between sentences,
phrases, and even single words. This
gives rather jerky rhythm to his
speech, as If he were stopping every
few seconds to shift gears.
Pronunciation Middle Western,
with the typical buried "r" and the
"braown coaw" twang. The dis
tinguished Secretary would give a
far better account of himself on the
radio if he would place himself for
a while in the hands of a capable
speech coach.
During the broadcast checked for
this portrait. the word since was
mispronounced sense" The noun
access was accented enormously on
the second syllable Correct: AK

essential (the first &c" should be
flat as in essence). The word virile

Correct: VEAR-ilD. And equitable

Natures Children
By Lillian Cox Athey

Bowfins are geological hangoyers
Today's generation resembles re.
mote ancestors perfectly. I'm.
changed through the centuries, thew
swim about in muck-bottomed ponds
and lakes of the north-central
United States. They are exceed
ingly prosperous in some locations
and known to anglers as dogfsh,
They must not be confused with the
various small sharks also called
dogfish.
The bowfin Is a thick, heavy,
mud-colored fish with body COW
cred with coarse scales with a
greenish tinge A rounded tail and
long wavv dorsal fin not worn by
any other fish neighbor makes the
bowfin easy of identification. His
sloping forehead and small cruel
ewes tend to give an expression Of
stupidity, which is not true, His
blunt snout and wide mouth add
nothing to his beauty. Only the
males wear green and black eye
spot at the base of their tail
Bowfin fathers have ACQUIRED
fame through their passionate devo-
ton to their countless offspring.
Not even black bass have reached
the high distinction attained by the
bowfins.
Sometime In late April, MAY or
June. according to the temperature
of the water, male bowfins become
extra active hunting for clear
shallow water in which to establish
cradles for their young.
Once a satisfactory area has been
cleared of debris. father bowfish
searches for lady bowf1ns to per-
suade them to leave all their eggs
with him. After many thousands
have been deposited, he takes on a
fierce attitude toward all who ven-
ture near them. His long strong
tail can swish through the water
with telling effect.
Through the clear water the
swarm of Young bowfsh appear like
a dark cloud. In their midst Is
papa bowfish. He leads his swarm
through the water to where food
may be found. Until they are six
inches long, which is not until late
summer, he never leaves them for
one moment.
Then, he seeks his favorite deep
hole in the mucky part OF a, pond or
lake. Anglers entice him with
choice bits of fresh fish. He may
fall for their tactics. But, he is
smart enough to tangle their line
by weaving in and out Of water
plants. He knows how to come to
the surface in defeat. His flesh Is
unfit to eat. Catching him Is great
sport.
Fishermen are divided In their
opinion as to whether the bowfin Is
of value or not. Some claim many
an excellent pike, bass or other fine
fish is turned into bowfin. Others
claim that countless young bowfln
feed the desirable fish In the same
locality. Anyway you take 1t, bow
fins have been smart enough to hold
their own where greater sized neigh
bors have vanished. Fishery ex-
perts favor the bowfins and they
should know.
