"TOTAL" CONSERVATION A winter that hung on longer than usual and a spring that insists on tossing snowflakes instead of April showers make Arbor Days in many places seem premature. You can't do much digging and tree-planting in a flood or a blizzard.

While people are waiting for the weather to improve, however, they can at least think about Arbor Day and make plans. The first Arbor Day was observed in 'Nebraska on April 10, 1872. It set an example worth recalling now. On that date a million young trees were set out in a region where trees As other states took up the idea, it became the thing to have schools set out trees on their own grounds on whatever date their state chose for Arbor Day. Most of the Arbor Days fall in April, but there are some in February and March.

Nowadays, in addition to planting trees, school children study conservation and learn that our need of trees is based on far more than their esthetic value. Trees and soil and food and water supply are all linked. New York State Commissioner of Education Frank P. Graves has designated April 26, May 3 and May 10 for the observance of Arbor Day in -this state. With the local school authorities is placed the responsibility to determine which date will best serve each community and to conduct such programs as are agreeable and fitting.

SCIENTIFIC TENNIS A man in South Carolina, according to a story told by toward Vincent O'Brien in the Chicago News, consulted astronomers at the state university before he laid out his tennis court. Then it was placed at the precise spot i and angle in relation to latitude and longi- tude to give it just the right lighting for the I months in which it was to be used. To make his arrangements perfect he I should also consult astrologers as to the most favorable days for playing successfully and then get the weather bureau to control winds and rains. The weather, producing an April heat wave in California and a cold wave in the rest of the country, seems to be trying to distract our attention from Europe. Hitler has developed a new type of sit- down strike.

When he's ready to strike at his neighbors, he walks in and sits clown on them. SPELLING CONTESTS, ETC. "Spelling bees" seem to be getting popular again. It just seems to be human nature to want to know, every once in a while, how words are spelled--or spelt. Every now and then, just as this good old game seems to be dying down, it is revived by some grange, farm, home bureau or world's or something else offering a prize for best-spellers.

It's all very useful and commendable. But maybe the spelling is being overdone just a little, in comparison-with some other important matters of education. There is pronouncing, for instance. It's incredible, what pronunciations you hear these days over the radio, and from public speakers, and especially from young people are supposed to know about that sort of thing. And grammar, too.

Current speech among high school students and graduates is often surprisingly bad. Grammatical rules are presumably taught in the schools, or at least students are exposed to them. But a good many old-timers complain sadly, even bitterly, about current carelessness or ignorance about putting sentences together so that the words fit. Carpenters and masons don't build houses that way. TWO KINGS, TWO TIDES The other day someone referred to the ancient King Canute as a domineering ruler who even tried to control the sea.

That missed the point of the story. King Canute was a rough fellow in his youth and during the first years of his reign as king of England, Norway and Denmark, back in the eleventh century. Later he developed great wisdom, honesty and justice as a ruler and humility as a man. It was not to show off but to rebuke the flattery of courtiers that Canute took them to the shore, and. in their presence, ordered the tide to turn back.

In that simple but picturesque way he reminded them that the sea had no regard for human kingship and that even a powerful ruler must bow to forces greater than himself. When King Christian of modem Denmark declined to resist the incoming "Germans last week he showed some of Canute's common sense. That gray tide, under the existing A candidate says he just wants to follow I St. Paul's advice and "make his calling and election sure." You can't blame the British for getting a bit fed up on Yankee kibitzers criticizing the way they run their bally war. Americans at last are getting the idea, and all over this broad land you find people grimly determined to relax.

No wonder children are more popular than adults--the new models always look better. Many a propaganda egg hatches out quite a different bird from the one expected. Spring is the time when a fellow finds that the spring has sort o' gone out of him. THAT BODY OF YOURS By James W. Barton, M.

So you apply heat in some form, take aspirin tablets regularly and seem to get along fairly well.

Sciatica and lumbago arc not natural ailments but have some definite cause; if cause is removed you can be free from pain and discomfort, and heat and exercise can help you to become limber and supple again. I have spoken before of my own attacks of sciatica and lumbago. The first attack was due to injury for which I wore a Goldthwait brace'for four years. The second was due to infected tonsils, the removal oC which brought relief of pain in 1S hours, and full use of a partly paralyzed leg within one month. The third and fourth attacks were due to infected teeth, the removal of which promptly brought relief.

I've had no attacks since because I have an X-ray of my teeth regularly. The old injury is there, but as no infection is added, I am free of attacks. In other words, sciatica and lumbago arc due in Hul opemng home foi his the great majority of cases to injury or infection. The injury may not be a fall, a blow, a wrench of the joints "in lower back and hips. In many cases it is due to the faulty posture or carriage: in fact.

Dr. W. M. Steel in American Journal of Surgery says: Poor posture is the usual 'predisposing' cause of lumbo-sciatica. The spinal 'tilt' puts an added pull home Sunday April 7.

A roll call vote on the measure will be a simple thing for the citizens to understand--those who vote against it lining themselves up with the totalitarian concept which has obsessed some of the younger groups which have taken hold of key positions in governmental commissions. There are many instances in which governmental commissions nowadays violate the spirit of a fair trial by insisting on acting as judge, jury and prosecutor.
