According to he story, a certain Woksis, a mighty hunter, was out one day in search of game and his diligent squaw, whose name was Moqua, was busy embroidering a pair of moccasins to surprise him when he came back home. But she knew, as all wives know, that in addition to a surprise she had to have an evening meal awaiting her lord. So she hastily cut off a piece of moose meat and set it to boil In the water which ran from the maple tree at the door of her tepee since the tree was nearer than the spring. Then she bent so Interestedly over her embroidery that she forgot all about the moose meat and tne sweet water boiled away Into a thick, brown sirup and formed a crusted sweetness around the meat When Woksis returned, he graciously accepted the moccasins with their bead-embroidered bears but he exclaimed with delight when his teetn sank into the daintiest morsel that he had ever tasted. Eagerly he devoured the meat and called for the kettle so that he could lick It clean. Then he went out In his new moccasins saying never a word about them and told all his tribe how Kosekusheth. the heaven-sent Instructor, had taught his Moqua how to make a delicious food hv boilins; the lulce of maple. Soon this knowledge spread to all the tribes and every spring saw them gashing the sugar maples wfth their hatchets and gathering the sap In containers made from birchbark. It was then boiled In earthen pots (and later, after the coming of the white man). In Iron kettles which they obtained from traders, Into which heated stones were dropped to facilitate the boiling. The early settlers were quick to appreciate appre-ciate this toothsome native delicacy and In many a pioneer home maple sugar was the only sweetening sweet-ening ever used.

After telling how the boy comes running run-ning to the house with his excited announce ment of "Sap's runnin' I" he continues: "And then, indeed, the stir and excitement be gin. The sap-buckets, which have been stored in the garret over the wood bouse, and which the boy has occasionally climbed up to look at with another boy, for they are full of sweet suggestions sug-gestions of the annual spring frolic, are brought down find set out on the south side of the house and scalded. The snow Is still a foot or two deep In the woods, and the ox sled Is got out to make a road to the sugar camp, and the campaign be gins. The boy Is everywhere present, superintending superintend-ing everything, asking questions, and filled wit!: a desire to help the excitement "In the first place the men go about and tap the trees, drive In the spouts, and bang the buckets under. The boy watches all these op erations with the greatest Interest He wishes that sometime when a hole is bored in a tree that the sap would spout out in a stream as it does when a cider barrel is tapped ; but it never does, It only drops, sometimes almost in a stream, but on the whole slowly, and the boy learns that the sweet things of life have to be patiently waited for, and do not usually come otherwise than drop by drop. v "Then the camp Is to be cleared or snow. The shanty Is re-covered with boughs. In front of it two enormous logs are rolled nearly together, to-gether, and a fire Is bnllt between them. Forked sticks are set at each end, and a long pole is laid on them, and on this are hung the great caldron kettles. The huge hogsheads are turned right, side up, and cleaned out to receive the sap that Is gathered. And now, if there Is a good 'sap run,' the establishment Is under full "The great fire that Is kindled up Is never let out night or day, as long as the season lasts. Somebody is always cutting wood to feed it; somebody is busy most of the time gathering in the sap; somebody is required to watch the kettles ket-tles that they do not boll over, and to fill them. It Is not the boy, however; he is too buy with things in general to be of any use In details. "He likes to boil eggs with the hired man in the hot sap; he likes to roast potatoes in the ashes, and he would live In the camp day and night' if he were permitted. . . . The great occasions oc-casions for the boy, though, are the time of 'sugaring off.' Sometimes this used to be done In the evening, and It was made the excuse for a frolic in the camp.

Interpreted by William Bruckart Washlngton.--The department of Agriculture has laid down another , barrage of accuse- Picking on tions against a th Packers ""P of ,arKe meat nacklne con cerns, but the flcht thus started promises to transcend the charge of crookedness on the part of ten corporations cor-porations cited. From the under current of Information around Wash-inton, Wash-inton, one can readily believe that question, of policy may become the focal point of the curreiit controversy. contro-versy. While the packers may fold up their tents, admit some of the charges and not fight back any fur-ther, fur-ther, the situation Is fraught with possibilities of politics that lead di rectly to an attack on Roosevelt ad ministration New Deal policies. Fundamentally, these questions Involve In-volve determination of how far the people want their national government govern-ment to manage business affairs. It is unfair, of course, to hold that the ten big packers are guilty of combined effort at manipulation of prices or machinations to drive out competition In certain sections of the country, . solely because some ofllclals of the Department of Agriculture Agri-culture made the charges. It is like wise unfair to hold the packers have clean records because the charges were made by some of the officials of the department that was described by members of congress as being "full of Communists." It Is a fact that the packers have been dragged into court before on similar charges, and it is also admitted that there are some olllciuls in the De partment of Agriculture who are so radical as to be desirous of seeing private business destroyed. With these fact. In mind, It Is well to recall also that in the last several months there has been smoldering smol-dering sentiment that the federal government Is going too far In directing di-recting the affairs of private Individuals. Indi-viduals. A good many observers here believe that the charges now renewed against the meat packers, after fifteen years of comparative quietude In this direction, will precipitate pre-cipitate a political fight over the main question of how far the government gov-ernment ought to go. That Is to say, some think the packer controversy contro-versy will bring the larger question to a head. There was a plain disposition on the part of most persons to withhold with-hold criticism of the Department of Agriculture all through the early months of President Roosevelt's administration. ad-ministration. Whether one agreed with the New Deal program or was . WWWi'l' opposed to It the disposition dispo-sition was to avoid attacks on the Department of Agriculture because of the sad plight of the industry it was supposed to help. But differences differ-ences have arisen among the farm leaders and among the members of congress from agricultural districts as to the way things have been run at the Department of Agriculture, and these differences are not concealed con-cealed any longer. Consequently, It appears just possible that Secretary Wallace and the professors on whom he has leaned so heavily may soon find a swirling storm around their heads, which, once started, surely will go beyond just that phase of the Tresldent's New Deal program. For Instance, there is a bill pending pend-ing that proposes to make the federal fed-eral government Far-Reaching supervisor of the Proposal ecur!ty ex-changes, ex-changes, the stock markets. It Is far reaching; of that there can be no doubt But differences of opinion are sharp, and, generally speaking, they may be traced back to one's basic belief as to the extent the federal government gov-ernment should go in managing your business and mine. It Is held by all observers to be a perfectly normal and natural line of cleavage. This legislation would attempt to control the sales of all shares of stocks and bonds whether on the floors of the trading exchanges or across the counters of brokers. The operations would be directed from Washington through the Federal Trade commission. Its scope and the fact that administration of this phase of business, like so many others, would be centered In Washington, Wash-ington, causes concern among that .chool of thought which clings to the Idea of a policy permitting Individuals In-dividuals to conduct their own business busi-ness without having to bow and crape before a bureaucrat in Washington. Wash-ington. The activities of some of the NKA leaders In dictating business policies poli-cies and practices is well known, but those opposed to them are none the less opposed because they made less noise in the last few months. They will Join in any movement that promif to overturn the program of business dictatorship that ha. been ect up. The same U true re-.pectlng re-.pectlng the attitude of business men and women on numerous other phases of the New Deal. It Is an opposition that thus far has not bepn allowed to blow off steam.

I hear the expression that the battle with the meat packers may result In an alignment of those force, who find the New Deal to have dealt thera a band with a ten-spot as the high card. In reporting that circumstance, circum-stance, however, It seems to me one should call attention to the possibility possi-bility that the Department of Agriculture Agri-culture may have "the goods" on the meat packers. If that be the case, it is obvious that opponents of the New Deal will have to look elsewhere else-where for a peg on which to hang their hats. Further, It appears here that If the President succeeds in his plan to get congress out of town before It reaches the stage wbere It has Idle hands, the chances of a frontal attack on his progrMV Beem materially mate-rially less, When the legislation Tor control of the security exchanges pusses, as, of course, it will Supervise pass, since it Is Security Sales aQ administration proposal, the Federal Fed-eral Trade commission will be placed in the position of virtual supervisor su-pervisor of all transaction.

The circumstance has directed direct-ed considerable attention lately to the relationship between that federal fed-eral agency and business Interests, as well as the treatment business may expect from the commission as now made up. Through the period in which I have watched Washington, the coin-mission coin-mission distinctly has hud its ups and downs. I believe that, in most Instances, business has looked upon the commission with more or less favor respectively as It ha. pursued pur-sued an economic policy of reasonableness reason-ableness or radicalism. Passage of the law that required registration of all security Issues with the commission before they were offered for sal! the so-called truth In securities act was expected by many to place In the commission's hands a weapon which it would use In carrying out many radical Ideas. There was doubt and still Is doubt as to the efficiency of such legislation. There were claims, and still are claims, that passage of the law cuts down the availability of funds for corporate financing and, consequently, restrict, business development de-velopment The Information available to me seems to Indicate there Is some truth in these claims, but there Is also some truth In the assertion that restrictions were necessary In order or-der to protect Investors from unscrupulous un-scrupulous Individuals who issue and sell fake stocks and bonds. Each gronp probably will be found to be partially wrong after the commission com-mission starts on No Job for its new job. I Theorists heap comment however, to the effect that the commission must watch Its step In selection of personnel per-sonnel In connection wtlh stock exchange ex-change supervision. That Job will be highly technical, and the danger that has been pointed out Is that untrained theorists may be appointed appoint-ed to do much of the work. It Is hardly necessary to say that most theorist, enjoy trying out their Ideas at other people'a expense, and surely sure-ly administration of the country's trading marts Is no place to "try It on the dog." The stake is too high. Through some eight or ten years past the commission ha. followed a course of citing a business for alleged al-leged violation of fair practice rules and offering no. statement except the charges. The result was a stigma stig-ma oo the particular business. Oftentimes, Oft-entimes, complaint, were made by competitors Just to gain the advantage advan-tage of that stigma. Last month, however, that policy was changed and hereafter, the commission will Issue their citation, and will tell why the action was taken, thus affording af-fording full publicity for anyone to examine the case. It is an action that probably will reduce the number num-ber of mischievous complaints, because be-cause competitors won't attempt so freely to gain an advantage by smearing the reputation of another business when their own part In It Is disclosed. My conviction l tuav adoption of a rule of that kind may have the effect of fending off some of the fire that the commission naturally must expect from the school of thought opposed to the principles upon which the agency was founded. found-ed. And. It Is well from the commission com-mission standpoint for It to watch outi IU present state of recrn-desccuce, recrn-desccuce, after a period when it. ap proprlations were cut to the bone and Its life threatened, may not go on as now.

It was a Basque herder seated on a rim, watching his flocks below. Theso are mystery men of the range, courteous, agreeable but reticent, reti-cent, fitting in perfectly with their unattended solitude. When we drove Into the Basque town of Jordan Valley, another aspect as-pect of these people was presented. It was late Sunday. Dashing mounted mount-ed vaqueroa, with fringed chaps and tilting sombreros, caracoling up the street on spirited ponies, and strolling stroll-ing young ladies with a vivacity of natural charm and dress gave to this frontier Oregon community a touch of the Spanish Pyrenees. When the first Basque settler wandered wan-dered Into Jordan Valley more than forty years ago and saw the endless sheep range he urged his brother In far-away Spain to come. That was the beginning of the correspondence Hint spotted the shelterless sage plains of southeastern Oregon with Basque herders and their nomadic flocks. . These cleanly, Industrious and hospitable hos-pitable people are gradually having their language and customs modified by the young people attending school. There are still many of the children, however, who have never seen a train. They refer to a trip to Ontario On-tario as "going out to the railroad." After a Basque dinner the entire population assembled In the community commu-nity hall and gave a Basque dance In our honor. The snapping fingers, gayety, merrymaking and frequent bursts of song that accompanied the dances flowed from the deep roots of their ancient heritageNational Geographic Geo-graphic Magazine.
