Australia has three klnds OF sung
ing trees. The leaves wear hypo-
dermic needles filled with poison.
Most Of us are aware of trees that
sing, sigh or whistle, but tree or
trees with such vicious habits Is q
little hard to take. We are of course
acquainted with poison ivy. whose
poison begins to act hours after
being contacted, but the great
heart-shaped leaves Of the stinger
Is covered with hairs as sharp as
needles and filled with instant-act-
ing poison. The pain is intense
soon spreading over wide area OF
the body. Animals, thinking TO
sample the large Juicy looking
leaves, are driven almost insane
with pain.
No matter how gently you brush
against the leaves. there Is almost
instant pain. Each Is composed OF
a rather soft basal bulb filled with
irritating poison and a tapered.
hollow, needle-sharp point. The
hair works exactly along the lines
of q hypodermic needle. provided
with q poison filled bulb at its base.
The pain producing substance Is
said TO be formic acid and the tree
contains In addition l79 per cent
OF free acetic acid. Plant toxins"
are said by q chemist TO be present.
Fresh wet mud applied to the spot
3 said to alleviate the pain, 50 VIII
the inner bark Of the same tree.
The largest Of the stinging trees
grows to q height Of 100 feet with
a trunk several feet in diameter.
Buttresses are placed at equal dis
tances around the base OF the trunk.
Pale. gray. smooth bark covers the
trunk. The wood is soft. fibrous
and juicy. After one of the trees
is cut down, countless suckers
spring up around the stump. and
the suckers produce giant heart
shaped leaves.
Many have seen these trees in the
rain-forests Of northern New

Park, west Of Brisbane. Blazing a
trail where these enemies are found
is a most painful undertaking
Hands touching the leaves become
too swollen and numb TO hold even
a pencil and since the pain lasts
for hours, it Is thought by many
that trees with such q disposition
should be completely destroyed.
Nothing has been mentioned
about the fruit swinging from long
stems under a cluster Of leaves.
They resemble small blackberries
In a remarkable degree. Many be-
lieve birds are responsible for the
distribution of the stinging trees
and since birds transport poison
ivy seeds without any discomfort
to themselves. the idea appears to
be plausible.

Goren on Bridqe

Many safety plays are designed to
prevent the lose of too many tricks
IN q certain suit. There are other
types Of safety plays In which tricks
are deliberately lost to one adver-
sary rather than the other because
the lead from q particular hand Is
feared. Today we have q rather
different type. The safety play here
involved Is calculated to lose tricks
not necessarily to the right person,
but at the right time. This SOUNDS
q little involved, so let us proceed
with the operation.
The bidding Is strictly Of the text
book variety. North has enough IN
high cards to justify two-no-
trump response, but the lack OF
heart stopper makes such a call
undesirable, not only because the
suit is feared, but because 1t might
be more advantageous for partner
to play the hand should he hold
n tenace in hearts that he would
like to have the lead come up to.
Souths rebid was naturally one no
trump and North, having the eqw-
valent of an opening bid, went
straight to game himself.
The five Of hearts was opened
and the king went to Souths ace.
Obviously the diamond suit must
be developed, since the other Will
Yield only six tricks. If declarer
had taken the diamond finesse In
routine manner he would have lost
the hand, since the hearts would
have been cleared while West stiu
held a stopper in declarer's long
suit. But declarer stopped to visual
ize the possible pitfalls. If dia-
monds were 80 there was no pos
sible way to lose the hand. He
need therefore concern himself only
with the AL split in that suit. II
East has four diamonds, 1t Is i'm
material how declarer plays the
suit, since East must win two tricks
In the suit. However, the contract
will be safe, since declarer win hold
up one round of hearts and when
East wins his second diamond trick
he win have no more hearts to
return.
Now, II West has four diamonds,
including the king, he must win
two tricks even II the flnesse Is
taken, but again the contract Is
safe, since when he wins his dia-
mond trick he viii not be in a posi-
ton to continue hearts without
giving declarer an additional trick.
The only holding, therefore. that
will defeat the contract Is single
ton king In Eastis hand assuming
declarer takes the finesse). because
In that case declarer would lose his
FIRST diamond trick at the wrong
time-that is, when his heart suit
was subject to attack.
On this line of reasoning it was
simple for declarer to play the ace
of diamonds first. The fall of the
king was q fort,iitous event that
was no part Of the plan. It was
not necessary TO declarer's success,
but it did result In his making an
overtrick.

$500 In State Work
In Government Jobs


Nearly 5000 persons in Delaware
are employed by either the state,
county or local units of govern
nRent, according to a report released
by the United States Census Bu-
reau yesterday.
Although the state has fewer
government employees per thou
sand population than almost any
other in the Union, the payroll that
taxpayers are asked to meet in
creased to approximately $1,55S,OOO
a month in 1948, the bureau re-
ports. This compares with $1,41S,-
900 month in 1947. Pay increases
granted to federal employees and
school teachers account for most
of this gain since the number OF
state and local workers has not
shown an appreciable change in
Delaware.
If the total number of federal
government employees in Della
ware. estimated at 1,75O, is added
to the total, the state has approx.
imately $500 civilian government
employees as of the end of 194S
according to the census estimate.
Delaware thus had 31.9 govern
ment employees per 1000 persons.

The Air Force chief of staff re-

fiscal year, under which the Air
Force must cut it's strength from
SO groups to 4S by July I.
"The cheapest defense force is
the one than can achieve the cheap
est victory" General Vandenberg
said. mo victory today could be
really cheap, either in lives OF
treasure"
Deterrent Is Hope
He added 1--WE hope and trust the
4S-group Air Force will be a. suf-
ficient deterrent to prevent con.
flict which most certainly would
prove costly to us all"
Before the President made hi!
budget recommendations Air Force
leaders said they considered a 20
group air force an absolute mini
mum for safety and strength.

The retired lawyer recalls the
days when there were four passen-
ger trains daily to Wilmington on
the Landenberg Branch of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad. There is
now only one freight train day as
far as Hockessin. The tracks were
taken up beyond Southwood station
several years ago.
Mr.. Walker remembers when
|plans for the railroad were made
lin 1868, and he rode on the first
|train in 1872. After committing
ldaily for So years, he rode the last
regular passenger train when ser
vice on the branch was stopped in
1881. On Sunday he rode the train
back to Yorklyn.
1t was day of nostalgia for T
&c. Marshall of Yorklyn, who was
one Of those who used to commute
to Wilmington Friends School. He
and his son, T. G. Marshall, Jr.
were among the 400 sightseers who
were on the train when it left Phil
