dean of the state agricultural col
lege; G. E. Condra, university con
servation and soil survey; John A
Rine, Omaha attorney; Harry G.
Smith, editor Hastings Tribune; Carl
II. Swanson, Culbertson; O. O. Tracy,
Norfolk, and F. E. Ziegenbein, Ne
braska City.
The board' water resources com
mittee has a report In the form of
an elaborate survey of water sheds
and streams in the state. This the
beard will consider and analyze and
give out for publication within a
short time. The report was compiled
mostly through payment of federal
funds for labor. Chairman Tilley
hopes to have it printed in book form
as it is considered of great import
ance. He said he also hopes to have
the. water survey continued and new
data added when necessary.

Poinsettias are as much symbols
of Christmas as Santa Claus and the
Christmas tree. Its blazing scarlet
leaves, backed by brilliant green
leaves, herald the festivities of the
holiday season. We see it reproduced
on gift wrappings, magazine covers,
and paper imitations, but the most
glorious of all is the plant itself.
Although we speak of it as a flower,
it is really a shrub, and a member of
the huge euphorbia family which
numbers almost a thousand varieties.
The bright colored cluster is not a
blossom, but a grouping of leaves
which contrast in size and color, but
not in shape, with those of the rest
of the plant. If you will examine the
two closely you will see how iden
tical they are.
! The poinsettia is native to Mexico
where it grows wild in tropical cli
mates: Although our greenhouse;
flower is only half the the size of the
! original, it lacks nothing in beauty.
It has, in fact, many superior qual
ities, including a more delicate and
shapely leaf.
Because it is a tropical plant you
should avoid drafts or overnight cold
periods to keep it healthj-. Extremes
of temperature will cause the red
leaves to turn yellow, and continued
cold will make them unsightly in a
short time. They also like a humid!
room, which is why the kitchen is
recommended for night time. A tem
perature of 65 degrees at night, and
ten degrees -winner for the daytime
is satisfactory. They .need a con
tinuous supply of moisture.
The poinsettia is one of the
loveliest Christmas gifts when sup
plied in a gayly colored pot, and tied
with a ribbon and a Eprig of holly.
It supplies the n.ed for a gift which
is inexpensive, and at the same time
luxurious. There is no need to worry
whether an additional poinsettia
plant is given, for at Christmas time
several can be used to advantage,
and they will provide a holiday at
mosphere which no amount of colored
crepe paper can give.
The colored cluster leaves from the
poinsettia is sometimes used on an
evening or dinner gown. It is beau
tiful for this purpose, although its
keeping qualities are very limited,
and it is a gamble to depend upon it
lasting a full evening or afternoon.
Red plants for Christmas are the
order of the day. Try red begonias,
red primulas, red cyclamens and by
all means the brilliant red poin
settias. .

SEEK AN OARLY DECISION
Washington, Dec. 22. The govern
ment urged the supreme court to give
a speedy ruling on constitutionality
of that part of the social security
act levying a tax on employers for
the benefit of the jobless. In a peti
tion filed with the high tribunal,
I Solicitor General Reed urged it to
review a case filed by George P. Davis
of Boston, a stockholder in the Bos
ton and Maine railroad, who sought
I to prevent the carrier from paying
the assessment.
This is the first litigation involv-
ing the federal security program to
come before the supreme court. The
Massachusetts federal district court
upheld the legislation and dismissed
Davis complaint.
Both Davis and the government
have asked the supreme court to pass
on the controversy without waiting
for a customary ruling by the cir
cuit court of appeals. Reed asserted

Homes Called a
Menace to Health
Public Health Authority Advocates:
Controlled Temperature as Pre
caution Against Ailments.
If you . wish to avoid eclds and
other winter ailments do not let
your home become overheated.
This is the advice of Dr. Shirley
W. Wynne, former health commis
sioner of New York City, whose bro
chure entitled "Temperature Control
is Health Insurance" was published
recently by the Temperature Re
search Foundation of Kelvinator Corporation.
"The average American home is
badly in need of a controlled atmos
phere, especially during the winter
months," says Dr. Wynne. "The for
eigner visiting this country from
lands where the heating of houses
is less highly developed often com:
plains of the stuffy atmosphere of the
American home. Frequently there is
good cause for his complaint, as the
practice of ventilation does not al
ways keep pace with the art of rais
ing steam.
"Particularly is this true in the
city apartment, where the tenant
naturally desires an unfailing supply
of heat and is likely to accept, all
that the radiators will give off, with
out thought of what is best for his
general state of health. The evil ef
fects of this tendency to keep the tem
perature at too high a level are in
tensified by the dryness of indoor air
induced by usual heating methods
The combination of excessive heat,
and abnormally dry air, jnay work
havoc. It dries the skin and mucous
membranes, often causing throat ir
ritation and so predisposes to colds
and respiratory infections."
Other unhealthy conditions men
tioned by Dr. Wynne as resulting
from the overheating of homes in
clude: ' Increased flow of blood; in
creased 'heartbeat; increased respir
ation; decreased vasomotor tone;
swelling of the bony structures of
the nares; increased pulse beat; in
creased evaporation; increased body
and skin temperatures; increased
metabolism; general lassitude and
dizziness.
"If a healthy person feels chilly in
a room at 68 degrees Fahrenheit, it
may be that the air is too dry," Dr.
Wynne continues. "For our health's
sake, Ave should avoid 'hothouse' tem
peratures in our homes. A temper
ature close to GS degrees Fahrenheit
is best for our well-being, but it
must contain the proper degree of
moisture; that is, between 40 and 50
per cent relative humidity. An in
telligent amateur effort to meet this
need for adding moisture to over
heated houses, is seen in the placing
of uncovered dishes of water on
radiators or in the path of the elec
tric fan; or having watered plants
about the room. But these efforts are
inadequate when compared with the
results of installing modern air con
ditioning equipment.
"During the cold dry weather gen
erally experienced in most sections
of the country in the winter, air con
ditioning is needed to properly
moisten, filter and circulate as well
as warm the air. In those parts of
the country where the winter is char
acterized by dampness at more mod
erate temperatures, there is an equal
ly important job for air condition
ing."
