transferred from the relief rolls to the

In a word, it is said that President
Roosevelt wants to get the country
away from the idea that the govern-
ment is encouraging the dole or in-
tends to adopt the dole as a fixed
policy. England and Germany have
been unable to abandon their policies
of paying doles.
The administration leaders realize
at it would not require much time
-or recipients of relief to get into the
mental attitude that the government
owes them something of that nature
The new approach proposes to give a
large proportion of those on relief
' rolls an opportunity to earn instead of
accepting charity. It will not only take
from the relief rolls the working in-
dividual, but members of his family.
For instance, in a state where 800,-
000 men, women and children are on
relief rolls, probably a half a million
will step out of their charity status.
When President Roosevelt estab-
lished the civilian conservation corps
it was regarded with skepticism in
many quarters. But in that he is said
to have had the idea of drafting the
unemployed from the large centers,
taking them off relief rolls, paying
them for work and requiring allot-
ment of a portion of their earnings to
their families. Furthermore, it took
men away from congested centers
and put them in the open air for
health and a better mental attitude.
Likewise, the 300.000 odd in these
camps are earning money instead of
receiving gifts. Their work has been
highly beneficial to states and com-
munities and in many respects the
movement one viewed with criticism
is now held by many to be one of the
most constructive steps the adminis-
tration has taken.

A Tribute To Trees
By CLARENCE OUSLEY.
Trees are the arms of Mother Earth
lifted up in worship of her Maker.
Where they are, beauty dwells; where !
they me not, the land is ugly though
it be rich, for its richness is but
greasy fatness and its gaudy raiment
is but cheap imitation of forest finery.
Trees are the shelter of man, beast, |
and bird; they furnish the roof above
us, and the nesting places of love
and song. They call children out to
play; they entice sweethearts into
leafy coverts to seal their vows with
fond caresses: they console and grate-|
fully reward old age. They are the
| fittest ornaments of wealth and the
inalienable possessions of the poor
| who can enjoy without having
.i title to them. They are the masts
that fly the flags of all nations and
the sails of all seas; they are the
i timbers that bridge forbidding
streams; they bear the wires of the
world's intelligence; they hold the
| rails that carry the traffic of the con-
i tinent; they are the carved and pol-
ished furnishings of the home they
cradle the young and coffin the dead
Before the earth was peopled it
Iwas set thick with trees; and when ‘

forests to shelter and sustain a new
race of men and beasts and birds to
