TODAY and
TOMORROW
(By Frank Parker Stockbriidge)
MUSIC .. .. ? dwa the ftmrow
One of the early American philoso
phers?I think it w a* Thoreau?wrote
'' Give me the man who sings at hi3
work
A modern version might be '4 give
me 'the mm who liatena *to the radio
ait lus w?rk". Not rU of us can sing,
and ?oiii? of us work .at trades in
which music would be an annoyance,
but the general idea that music is
helpful in getting through the drudg
ery of I be day'a work is sound.
I don It know how many cars havo
radio.1*, but "there's music in the air'
along -ainioit every oountry ioad and
oity street. The latest application, of i
tliis idea is the radio-equipped farm
tractor. Doubtless the furrows seem
-horter when they are ploughed to
tbe accompaniment of '.'If Tbis Isal
LoV?>."
OOBKSOORKS - J shortage
One result of the civil war in Spnin
has been to threaten a world shortage
of oorks. Cork u the bark of a par
ticular kiud of oak tree which is cul
tivated principally in Spain. After
the tree is a few year.? old iti thick
Uiik can be stripped off ev.uy year
without hurting the tree. S>me Span
ish cork groves have been s0 harvest
ed for hundreds of years.
Years *go LeLaiid Stanford tried t<
introduce the cork oak in California.
Sonic of the tree* he planted are pr o

i
Isavc the patience to \s nix for results
'ftorLug the several ymr? it t. ko. n
11r^f^ to begin to >v*ld eork 'ti coiu
lnerictll quantities.
Germany Ins just enacted a decree
forbfWiftg tbe:?M ?f c?rka in bottle*.
Only honaegrown wvo<l topper w maj
be used. That has nothing tto do with
the cork sh'i^ag^, howover; it's just,
one of Hitler's schema 'to keep Oct
man mowy [u Oeri aoriy.
