Instinct In Plants.

Climbing plants have two opposing methods of describing spiral growth The plants that turn to the right in the northern hemisphere reverse this trend in the southern hemisphere, and therefore, for the sake of consistency 1t may be preferable to describe the two kinds of spiral tendency as re. spectiVely "clockwise' and "counte: clockwsse.' which latter can be short. ened to "counterwise." The honey suckle and the hop turn "clockwise.. while the conyolyuius and the scarle; runner bean twine "counterwise." Ex. periments made by growing scarlet ru,.. ner beans in opaque cylinders, to dis. cover whether the deviation of the twist was innate or merely from the direction of tue light, disclosed the Tact that the plant possesses an inclna don resembling the instinct of animals Of proceeding in a given direction, and resents any attempt to force 1t other wise

GLORIOUS BETSY"
 SUES FOR DIVORCE
Dainty Mary NIannering Asks For Dissolution of Bonds of MatrimOny With James K. Hackctt-BOth Known Here.

Pine Bluff theatergoers. who had the pleasure of seeing Miss Mary Mannering at the Elks theater in this city last winter in that captivating play, Glorious Betsy will be inter- ested to read of the recent divorce proceedings, which she instituted against her husband, James K. Hack cit, who has visited this city
 A special from New York says:
 Mary Mannering. the noted actress, has filed suit for divorce against her equally noted actor husband, James K. Hackett This interesting morsel of news was disclosed today by a statement from Miss Manering's $ counsel.
 Thus ends a bit of romance of which theatrical people have been particularly proud. When Mr. Hack ett and Miss Mannering were mar ried several years ago they were pointed out as a living denial of the oft-repeated charge that stagefolk do not have domestic peace in their pri- vate lives. Recently, however. there have been rumors of an impending divorce. Mr. and Mrs. Hackett have not lived together for a year.
 The summons in the suit was served on MT. Hackett early in June, several days before he sailed for Europe

THE RIGHT MAN
At the Helm When Needed, Says Ex
Sec, Shaw of the President.

Haverhill, Mass, Jan. 20.-Leslie NJ.
Shaw, formerly secretary of the treas
ury, was the principal speaker tonight
at tie annual banquet of the Board OF
Trade held in City hall. Four hundred
business men of the city attended the
banquet. Mr. Shaw devoted much OF
his talk to the causes of the recent n
nancial depression, enumerating among
other things general extravaganza IN
living, questionable methods of doing
business and action in regard to cor
porations by state Legislatures and by
Congress.
81 am not putting the blame at any
body's door particularly" said Mr..
Shaw, but it shows the nation was
particularly fortunate in having the
right nan at the head during the right
period during the time. I believe that
no man was ever President who has
filled the bill more fully and more
creditable than Theodore Roosevelt.
am proud TO have been in the cabinet
with him for five years. Mr.. Roosevelt
has been fearless in regard to attack
ing big combinations. Loss of conf1-
dence has been responsible more than
anything else for the present condl-
tons"
Mr. Shaw closed his speech by an ar
gument in favor of q more elastic cur
rency system. He did not advocate the
establishment of a large central bank
as had been suggested. but thought
that he might favor something ike the
present Canadian system. where state
banks are allowed to issue currency
under certain restrictions. He believed
that the depression was only tenn
porary one and that the time was about
due when all factories would reopen
and business would be resumed under
normal conditions.
