TOO MUCH PESSIMISM Pessimistic views of Wall street on business have been met by reports of industrial activity throughout the nation. Gloomy reports of Europe are met by Secretary Mellon’s blunt statement that there is too much apprehension over Alarming reports of governmental waste and extra- vagance are followed by a plain showing of reduced expendi- tures and the possibility of Congress lopping $323,000,000 off the tax bill of the nation. has been succeeded by optimism over the huge corn crop of Now, the eyes of those who see dangerous corners just ahead are turned toward the forthcoming ses- sion of Congress. There are those who see dire results emanating from the halls of Congress where it is feared by them that the radicals will take control of the government and force the country into many disastrous experiments. But it is rather difficult to believe that those Senators who returned from Europe or are getting first-hand repor the conditions over there are going to embroil the United States in disastrous quarrels. It is hardly likely that any of them who bumped along on government-controlled railways across the Atlantic are going to try and wreck the rapid progress being made by railroads in the United States. It is rather stretching a point to predict that legislatiov will be enacted to disrupt the sound currency system of the nation when rubles have scarcely any value and German milk bills are paid in bales of paper marks. Nor is it likely that “radicals” will disorganize industry when the farmers and their representatives in the North- west are demanding increased protective tariff and adher- “ence to this traditional policy of the nation to aid the farm- ing industry.

Trees could easily grow a protective covering or overcoat for their But water freezes in cold weather and, not enough being available for leaves, the trees shed the leaves. A similar shedding takes place in tropical regions having alternate wet and dry seasons. Also, the scarcity and small size of trees in the Far North are due to moisture shortage rather than low temperature. These facts are from a lecture by Prof. George E. Nichols, botanist at Yale.
