It would be “penny wise and pound foolish to the ‘nth
degree,” in the opinionated opinions of United States mayors
to apply the national economy drive in the direction of the
housing bill. The mayors are just like everybody else—they
want their plunder. After that the ““economy’’ may begin
somewhere else.
After years of hiding their heads in the sand, the politica!
managers of America’s democratic form of government are
finding themselves slowly but surely befmg forced into a posi‘tion where they. must scon make plans to “provide the necessary revenues to meet the increasing costs’ of the government which they manage.
Opposed to all measures for economy thee are countless
claimants for special favors who would continue the “emergency” politics declared four years ago by the Federal government. It takes more than business prosperity to pry the parasites and grafters loose from the public plum tree.

system of pensioning, to include everybody who is not selfsustaining beyond the age of sixty-five.

PORTUGUESEDO ©
HONOR TOU.C.
BERKELEY, May 17.—In remembrence of the founding of courses in
the campus, a coniPortuguese on
mittee of prominent Portuguese residents of the San Francis<o Bay. regjon recently presented a bust of Camoens, most famous of ali _Portu-"
guese writers, to the Univerlsity of
California.
Alberto Moura,
committee, made the formal presentation to Dr. Monroe BE. Duetsch, vire
president and provost of the University, at a luncheon held at the Women’s Faculty Club. In making the
presentation, Moura: said, ‘‘The bust
of our immortal poet placed in the
y of this University will be the
chairman of the
librar
symbol of genius of a people who in
modern initiated the geographical
curiosity which impelled them to
conquer a world by land and by sea.
The discovery of America was an
their mariepisode resulting from
time policy.” ;
Seconding Moura, G. Armas do
Amaral, acting Portuguese econsulgeneral in San Francisco, said, ‘‘The
first cultivated language to be heard
in California, used in its first civil
and historical act when Juan Rodrigues Barbillo issued his proclamation
upon his arrival on these shores, was
the Portuguese language. This fact
alone should bring to Californians
the desire to know the treasures of
this tongue, and also, the man who
enriched: it, shaped it, and immortalized it—the epic poet, Luis de Camoens.”
Also present were Dr. Fidelino de
Figueredo visiting lecturer in Portugese, who gave the first Portnueuese course on the University campus in 1931, and other members of the
University faculty and administra-_
tion, :
Camoens is best remembered for
his great epic poems, the Lusiads
-dealing with the exploits of the Portuguese heroes in carving out the
Portuguese empire.
tion, who went to South Africa in
search for a beneficial parasite to
use against the red scale. He found
a parasite that preys upon red scale,
and that is also being experimented
with in the hope that it.may become
an effective control of the _ pest.
Should it become a sufficient control
so that growers of citrus trees, an
estimated saving of nearly three million dollars a year would be effected.

Always remember when buying living room furniture that you want comfort, style, and quality, something that you can show your many friends with pride for years to come; something that your children can
romp around on and not hurt; something that will remain a worthy addition to your living room and enhance its
beauty and yet cost no more than you can afford to pay.
