Why th? Leaves Turn Red. g An examination of the wither* f leaves of the autumn foliage at tl time of their turning red shows th they contain more sugar and le d starch than in midsummer. Leaves < s evergreens, however, lose their r< n tints with the return of the warm se r son, and reassume their green colc '? In these plants?i. e., the holly ai ivy?the sugar of the leaf is traa formed into starch in springtim From these observations two infe - ences can he drawn?first, that the r< s coloring substances are probably < e the nature of the glucoses, being ? most cases compounds of tannic su .. stances with sugar; second, the chi physical conditions for the formatk 1 of the red color are sunshine, whic on the one hand, enhances the assiir lation and production of sugar, and, c ;i the other hand, quickens the clieraic fhnt lends to the formation < A V fhe coloring mattrr. an. ], furtherraor n a low temperature, which prevents t! ~ transformation of the sugar in y starch.

This writer takes very little :'nerest in the political situation more , than to vote, 'but he has observed lately how some of the office seekers j | seem to judge human nature.

Here . is a uood illustration, taken from the Columbia Record: ''The editor cf The Xewberry Herald and News resents tin campaign which Senator Bene!: mid Mr. ' ollock are conducting. So <'.oes Mr. Blease. But my! How the . voters do like it-'' The enemies of the man who is ridiruled like it. yes. and some goovi en. nmon? them are disgusted.

Here is another illustration: This writer voted for Cooper for governor and still thinks he will make a splendid executive. Now here comes in my bit of human nature. Mr. (Bethea gets up on the rostrom and wants to know . how Major Richards intends to vote for senator. Right away my fair play side comes up and says I to mvse'f, ''Tha* is none of Mr. "Bethea's business.' He goes further and says: "No man who has ever opposed the war, before we were in it or since, or any man who supports any man ! who opposes it now, or ever has opposed it, should be elected to office." j Then my mind goes back to Mr. | 'Bethea when ne was a ^facJnsr* sau ing in a "peace ship,'' the guest of a ; pacifist and I wonder how he squares i ' his opposition to war then with his speech today. Then Mr. Richards j tells him, "I am a man and will vote according to the dictates of my own conscience, the people you call traitF ors are as good citizens as you," then my fair play side says Richards talks 33 like a man, vote for him. And I hear men whj were undecided before say, "They are trying to jg take an under hand method against Richards. I believe I will vote for er him." Not one of Richards' friends e, have they won away from him. not if he has any good judgment and "a fair play" side to him, and nearly every man who is worth while has. ?s There are hundreds of people who Pe have never voted for Mr. Blease, but le who are saying now: "You are not b- giving him a square deal." Then re their "fair play" side comes up and ^ says, "I am going- to give him my vote as my part towards helping him *n have a "square deal.'' 2y If I were a politician I would try r- to bring my mind around to the re place where I could thank such critin ics as these for the support they were winning to me.
