Eucalyptus globulus, has been known to reach a height of 25 feet in 18 months after seeding and 65 feet within six years. If the young trunk is cut down, it at once sends up half a dozen new trees from the pollarded stump.

One of the least advertised and yet most dramatic and spectacular of all federal agencies is the bureau of Investigation of the United States Department of Justice; To most casual citizens the bureau is Just a name, If it is known at all. The credit for famous c&ses in which the clinching evidence against an international thief, a defaulting banker, or a confidence man on the high seas was furnished by an agent from the bureau is generally given the police. The bureau agents, credited as being the ace detectives in the United States and American possessions, avoid the limelight. Although every agent is trained in law and accounting their work is highly secretive. Publicity is, avoided, as in contrast" to the courting of publicity by most investigating bodies. Field la Broad. Some of the most dramatic Grimes, made famous in play and story, come under the jurisdiction of this body. (JTheir fleld includes crimes on the high Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Dtsker aw! child-r sfeas,.tr*«son, violation of the national banking and bankruptcy laws, thefts from interstate shipments, bribery. jfen spent their vacation with relatives in Indiana. Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Hopper of Crystal Lake were McHenry callers Sunday evening. " Mr. and Mrs. joe Paul called on Mr. and Mrs. William Remus at Woodstock Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. L. J.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Newman and family of Chicago ate Thanksgiving dinner with relatives here. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Nickels and crimes on Indian reservations, escaped federal prisoners, civil rights, and domestic violence, and all others not assigned to a specific agency. In two fields, especially, the Department of Justice agency is the protector of civil rights and liberties. As a co-ordinating policy agency the bureau aids in the capture and conviction of thousands of state and national laws. At Washington the most complete fingerprint bureau in the world is maintained for the aid of all police agencies. Not pnly are the prints of federal violators maintained but the prints of any fugitive wanted by any police department for any crime from leaving the scene of an accident to robbery with a gun are kept. A free "posting" system, by which any police chief can have the fingerprints of a fugitive placed on file is maintained. The prints of every arrested man is checked each time against the files and co-operation given the corresponding police chief. The arrest and conviction of Gene Elms for murder is a case illustrative of this work. On February 7, 1931, the bureau received from the police department at Tulsa, Okla., the fingerprints of Gene Elms with a notation that he was wanted for the murder of a police officer. Checking the files it was ascertained that two days previously a fingerprint card was received j from St. Paul, Minn., stating that one Raymond Parker had been arrested for investigation. The two prints were identical and Elms was tried on the murder charge in Oklahoma and sen* tenced to life imprisonment. Another murder suspect was arrested through the same system as a result of leaving the scene of an automobile accident. The other field in which the bureau comes most In contact with business and civic leaders is in the investlgachildren spent Thanksgiving day with tion of an bankruptcy frauds.

Peterson and -<&raght£w of Marengo, Arthur Peterson and Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Eddy of Gray slake were Thanksgiving day guests vf &r. and Mrs. Andrew Eddy. tically the only protection legitimate business has against the confidence man and swindler who avails himself of the loopholes in the bankruptcy laws, the bureau investigators are constantly busy checking the schedules of bankrupt petitioners. Thousands of dollars in hidden assets have been returned through this agency. Embezzling Cashier. All violations of the national banking act come under the jurisdiction of the bureau. One of the most noted Chicago cases of recent years was' the arrest and conviction of John E. Malloy, assistant cashier of the Lawrence Avenue National bank. Malloy misappropriated funds and showed op in Milwaukee, clalming^to have been the victim of a holdup in the bank. Through the reconstruction of practically the entire ledger system of the bank his story wag proven false aitd Malloy was sentenced four years in prison and fined $5,000 on a charge of making false entries and embezzling $59,960. * Investigation and search for the fugitive is never given up by the Itepartmentof Justice investigators. One of the longest successful searches ended in the arrest and conviction Of Grover S. Elam, a bank embezzler from the First National bank of Highland, Wis. The bank failed In 1931 and an Id* vestigation by the bureau.showed $50,* 000 unaccounted for. Elam was Indicted, but because he was suffering from a bad gasoline burn a warrant was not served pending his recovery. In the meantime he disappeared. Special agents of the bureau of Investigation Instituted a search for him and a few weeks ago he was located in Chicago under the name of Albert 8. Nagel and Is being returned to Wis-1 consin for trial. The bureau has been In existence for 24 years and <k>mprises 22 filed offices located throughout the United States and its possessions. In each office there Is stationed a staff of trained investigators under the super vision of an Investigator in chief. The national director of the bureau is 3. Edgar Hoover, with the Chicago offkqt being In charge of W. A. McSwain. „ Want Ads FOR SALE FOR SALE--Large pullets, Barred, Buff and White Plymouth Rocks. Also White Wyandottes. Bargain. W.

The creature uses bits of grass and water weeds, and fastens the whole together with mucous threads. When it has finished its architectural labors, the female deposits her eggs, after which the male guards the home.

This is one of the difficulties attending television, he says. Others include the unsuitability of the natural complexion. A London authority on theatrical make-up has found that blue paint is suitable for the best delineation of .the eyelids, lips and other features. L ' :- .;.

Martin Unjustly Blamed Jfhe belief of some persons that tts martin brings bedbugs to its nesting place is disproved by Barrows, weltknown authority on bird life. Apparently the foundation for this traditio® lies In the fact that a bug closely resembling the bedbug, in fact a member of the same family as this dreaded household pest, does frequent the nests of martins. But according t» Barrows, this bug cannot live except on swallows, and there is no da»- ger of Its infesting dwelling houses*.
