"Delay in adopting a realistic Sc

danger of war;" Mrs Royalty said.
with the peace of the world de-
pending upon the strength of the
United States, our country cannot
remain the only important nation
which does not provide military
training for all of it's young men.
In the chaotic world today we cam
not buy peace with our dollars.
We must be prepared to protect
it with adequate military forces.
"Those who are opposed to uni
versal military training are making
their voices heard. Public opinion
polls have shown them to number
less than 25 per cent of the Amer
lean people, yet their letters to
congress in the past have outnum-
bered those from persons favoring

must be protected from var dur

Universal military training is the
foundation for security system ad-
vanced by the American Legion and

It would provide millions of trained
reserves for the army, navy and
air corps, and would give the Unit

SANDTREES,
By LiIIion Cox Athey

During the last war q radio sta
ton was established on San Nicolos.
Operator soldiers were intrigued by
the fantastic naked tree trunks,
ghosts of trees that had survived
centuries Of searching winds and
drought. Urged by
curiosity the radio operators spent
their spare time reconstructing the
story of how a once great, abundant
forest had been reduced to q tree
graveyard where grotesque naked
tubes of weird shapes now stand
guard.
Before the time Of Columbus these
islands were occupied by Indians.
1t was once an island lush with
low bushes, great shade trees and
shellflsh whose sand-scrubbed, wind
bleached shells are ample evidence
of their abundance at one time.
Here land snails thrived with gen.
erous supply of plant life. Their
lifeless, weather beaten shells form
a thick layer over the ground. This
weird situation cannot be found
on any other neighboring island.
However, where no sandtrees
exist you cannot find the empty
homes of the tiny mollusks.
they came to a sudden end
or died out over long period from
starvation and thirst Is undeter-
mined.
Apparently the great forest trees
growing on the island died and
were covered by wind-blasted sand.
After this interment the rotting
trunks became soft and absorbed
water filled with an abundance of
lime and other chemicals-which
hardened into hollow castings.
Today, hundreds Of years later,
the restless winds are uncovering
the fantastic hollow tubes that have
such weird outlines. to remind one
OF a herd OF horses hob -goblins and
watchdogs. Here is q place where
one may dig up a lot of historical
facts. Here at onetime millions of
land snails thrived on the abundant
vegetable life. Then life came to
an end over long. tortuous starva-
ton period, or swiftly-now is as yet
undetermined. But vast numbers of
these tiny mollusks died and winds
and rains reduced their shells TO O
thick layer Of crushed lime-filled
particles which you tramp over as
you try to figure out the marvellous
story Of the sandstone trees. It Is
thought that the disintegrated shells
carrying lime in solution accounts
FOR the countless particles Of sand
together to form the tree
,asts. which are now being exposed
md destroyed.

By-Fronk Colby
An Open Letter To The Air Forces.
Officers and Men
Of the U. s. Air Forces:


of the U. s. Air Forces:
This open letter is about the
word helicopter and the correct
way OF pronouneing it. Helicopter
has become So important a word
in American aviation that we
should make q serious effort to
stamp out the erroneous pronuncia-
tion "HEEL-i-COP-ter" while there
Is yet time to save the word from
complete corruption. We should
pronounce 1t HELL-i-COP-ter.
Helicopter is from the French
helicoptere, from the Greek helicos,
Spiral plus pteron, wing" If you
will refer to your dictionary you
will find that helicopter is syllabi-
fed thus: @
hel-i-cop-ter
and the first syllable rhymes with
bell, tell" Also note that there
are many other words which come
from the Greek helicos, such as !:
helical, helicograph. helicoid, etc.
Now, there is another Greek pre-
fix which begins many familiar
words-the suff1x hello, from helios,
"the SUM-" We find hello as the
first element of words like hello
graph, heliometer, helioscope, hello
trope. But heliograph is syllabi-
fled thus:
he-li-o-graph
and the first syllable of such, words
is ''hee," thus: HEE-h-o-graf.
If we say "HEEL-i-COP-ter !"
we make the word sound as if
it were derived from the prefix
hello HEE-lee-oh, "the SUM-"
which, of course, it isn't. But if
we pronounce it correctly, saying
"HELL-i-COP-ter," then it is plain,
at least to language students, that
the word derives from the prefix
helico- (HELL-i-koe). spiral"
Also. it's wrong to say "avvy-
alton and "avvyator." Correct:
AY-vee-AY-shun; AY-vee-AY-ter.
Do the pronouns that. which. and who
confuse you? Mr.. Colbys leaflet, C-s,
will help you. To obtain a copy, send 5
cents in coin and a stamped. self-ad-
dressed envelope to him, in care Of The
