Names of Flowers.

1t is interesting to know how Ger
tain flowers got their names. Many
were named after individuals For
instance: Fuchsias were so-caIled be-
cause they were discovered by Leon
ard Fuchs Dahlias We're named for
Andre Dahl, who brought them from
Peru. The camelia was so called for
missionary named Kamel. who
brought some magnificent specimens
Of the flower to France from Japan.
He called it the rose of Japan, but his
friends changed it TO Camelia Mag
nolias were named in honor of Prof
Magnol de Montpelier, who first
brought the beautiful tree to France
from America and Asia. Because they
trembled with the wind is the meaning
of Anemones. The Latin word to
wash is lavare and lavender received
it, name because the Roman put the
flowers into the water, when they
wasks.d, 10 perfume their hands.

"Cand Corn's real name was The

The problem of getting bet dowr
at the race track under the present

a rather ingenious way, says the New

A man who was anxious to wager

lay against Rye in the fourth race
"Oh, four to one, was the response
but | don't know you. and don't care
to be arrested for accepting the cash. .
That's all right replied the anx-
ious better; come and have a beer.
I'll pay with a ten-dollar bill, and you
can pick up the change OF course
I'm getting a shade the best of it, but
you won't mind that"
They had the drink, and five min
utes later certain man rooted long
and hard and shouted jubilantly when
Rye galloped home in front He then
rushed off to find the memory

same old problem confronted him
again.

one-time layer, come and Rave a bot
tie of wine; I'll pay for it with $50
bill, and you can pick up the change.
OF course, I'm getting a shade the

Plans for Relieving City Congestion.
In seeking to attract new enter.
prises to this city the officials of the
Chicago Association or Commerce
find that the sites on the main lines
|of railroads and within the factory
section are practically all occupied.
The business OF single small,
though desirable concern, is not suf-
ficient to support switch track ex-
tending to site somewhat removed
from the main line. The associa-
|tion has taken up with one railroad
company plan for widening the
area OF the manufacturing section
by considerable extension OF spurs
and terminals.
There is human side to the
problem. The congestion of factory
bmildings In one district produces
overcrowding In the surrounding
|neighbOrhoods of wage. workers
dwellings. improvements in street
car transportation, II Is true, in
crease the opportunities for factory
workers to live In desirable districts
remote from the plants In which
they are employed. StIll, the tend
ency Is for the workers, especially
those earning the lowest wages, TO
make their homes so near the fac
tories that they can walk to and
from their work.
Thus comes overcrowdlng In their
homes, which robs adults OF energy
and health and stunts the growing
children. II was shown by investi-
cations recently In New York city
that the average height of n boy
|of 10 brought up in a family living
In one room was 53.4 inches, while
the average height of boy OF the
same age reared In four-room
dwelling was 55.S inches. II Is not
humane and Il is poor business for
any community TO foster or permit
housing conditions that cause the
members OF the next generation OF
It's citizens to grow mp stunted and
lacking In vitality.
The most effective cure for con-
gestIon OF the population suggested
at a recent exhibit in New York
dealing with this evil was the NOV
ing OF factories from the thickly
settled portion OF the city Into Its
outlying districts. A law limiting
factory construction to the latter
districts was urged by some. Gov
ernor Hughes. In an address dealing
with congestion OF city population.
said that the public had hardly be-
gun TO realize what a proper ex-
excise OF the police powers OF the
state under n true theory OF govern
ment can do with regard TO these
conditions"
An organization. like the Chicago
Association OF Commerce, also can
do much to improve them. IL is TO
be hoped. therefore. that In It's
plans for relieving congestion In the
factory district Il will take into ac-
count the problem 'of congestion OF
