May Ne Foaaa In Plant Life.
BIRMINGHAM. England. Sept. 49,
The secret Of the determination Of sex
possibly may be found In plant life, Sir
oliver Joseph Lodge told the British
Association At its meeting this after
noon. Referring to the fact that some
plants produce both male and female
flowers he said this must be the result,
Of some profound change In the sap al
the junction In the stems where differ.
entity sexed flowers branch away from
each other. He continued:

Horse Sense.
From the Boston Globe.

TIUnl tne bOS'On 1lODP
When a man IS endowed with a gener-
Gus amount of ordinary common sense
we say he possesses horse sense" The
phrase, however, is absurd. according to
a correspondent of a New York paper,
who declares that mo animal on earth.
with the opportunities which a horse en-
joys, has so little intelligence"
The instructive, crude, robust sort of
common sense which we call horse sense
and which seems to be independent of in
struction or experience, may not be a
characteristic of the equine species. A
horse may be trained to do many things,
but he lacks initiative.
Possibly the phrase horse sense, which
the dictionaries say is an Americanism,
may owe it's origin to those remarkable
creatures which Mr.. Lemuel CULVER
found on his travels in the land of the
Houyhnhnms pronounced whin-hins). In
that country the dominant race was the
horse, and man was his servant. And.
strange to say. there were none of the i'm
projections of human society in the Hony-
hnhnm civilization. The horses were all
wise. noble, just. generous, high-minded,
while the men werewolf, about as We
know them. Through superior intelli-
gence the equine race had quite subdued
the human race.

j. With nearly four months experience
with the parcel post, it has been demon
strated that the system is of great prac-
teal benefit to the country generally,
and while little of the evil predicted has
materialized, there is reason for salts
faction with the experiment, for expert
ment it was to begin with.
But IL this method of sending mer-
chandise through the mails has been
beneficial under the present limited
scope, it is expected to be greatly in
creased in usefulness by the adoption Of
the G. o. d. feature, which will be in
stalled July /. This is intended to SIM
plify the transactions between buyers
and sellers, saving time and in some in
stances annoyance and trouble. Par
ticulariy will this be true regarding the
shipment of farm produce, a business
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1913-04-27

which, according to government officials.
is growing rapidly under the parcel post
system.
Farmers are arranging with consumers
in cities for the sale of butter, eggs,
poultry, vegetables, fruits, and other
products of the farm without the inter-
vention of middlemen, and while the
producers are receiving better profits
from the industry consumers are getting
supplies at lower prices. But 1t has de-
veloped that the system has been i'm
perfect, particularly I'm that farmers who
have sent their produce to consumers
have been compelled TO wait until remit
tances could be made by mail, thus de-
priving them of the ready money they
have needed; so it has been found that
more simple method is desirable, and
it is to remedy this situation the c. o.
d. method is to be introduced. After
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1913-04-27

July l a farmer can send his hamper OF
vegetables or his package Of eggs or his
basket of fruit to a consumer and the
Postoffice Department delivers the con-
signment. collecting therefor and making
immediate remittance. This will greatly
improve the situation. and will be more
satisfactory to both the producer and
the consumer. eliminating a great deal
of bookkeeping and other red tape which
is now cumbersome and expensive.
Already it is apparent that farmers.
like merchants and others having ar
ticles for sale, can greatly increase their
business by a judicious use of printers
ink, and, with the increased facilities for
using the parcel post, 1t is probable that
the advertisements of persons having
farm products for sale and of those in
need of such products will be as familiar
features of newspaper publicity.

Balkan War Began I'm 1858.

From the Argouaut.
An Italian newspaper reminds us use
fully that the Balkan war began CEN
turtles ago. In the state archives at
Vienna is the declaration of war sent
by Sultan Mehemet " to Emperor Leo
pold in 1852. BE it known to you, the
heir of the Caesars, to the King of Po-
land. and to your allies, that Mehemet
the glorious and omnipotent Emperor of
the East and West, is on the
point of invading your paltry territories.
We shall bring 100000 soldiers, on horse
and foot. to crush you utterly and lay
waste all Your domains. We command
You to await our coming in our resi-
dence in Vienna, where it is our inten-
ton to have you beheaded"'
But the war was even then an old
story. The delightful writer who con-
tributes THE Office Window to the
London Daily Chronicle tells us that
while searching through some of the
earliest newspapers printed his eye was
continually diverted to news letters from
the Continent giving accounts of the I'M
holy war which Turkey was waging on
and Austria. Almost at ram
dom he copies the following from the
Nerves of September II. 1858. a grim re-
minder that the Turk has remained I'M
changed and Interchangeable for these 80
years at least:
vienna, Sept. 6.-In Austria every
Fifth Man is to bear Armes; and they
hope to raise 10000 Men upon that Levy
to secure the Frontiers. At this instant
comes fresh Intelligence of 1000 Turks,
and as many Tartans, passing the
Waegh, and that they carry all before
them with Fire and Sword
And again: 1--WE hear that upon the
third instant the Enemy has beaten our
Foot by the River Waegh, and Possessed

The Corset. of the Ancient Cretan..


From the New York World
Announcement that the excavations
i'm Crete for the University Of Pennsyl-
vania have brought to light fragments
of an ancient civilization which show
that women of that island wore corsets
and hobble-skirts 500 years ago is in
teresting as a matter of archaeology
but it is nothing new. In fact, it has
been developed long since that even
IN the classic times of Greece the
graceful garment shown in statuary
and painting was a conventionality of
art rather than a fashion of the time.
Woman, it seems. has ever delighted in
styles that change with the seasons
and with the years. but return again
in cycles that appear to have had no
beginning and to approach no end. She
and her clothing are the joint symbols
of the truth that nothing is so immu-
table as mutabiity.
1t is questionable, however, whether
the women or the youth of the world
ever subordinated their own tastes to
the whms and absurdties of foreign
fashion makers. Was it ever the vogue
in Crete to wear the styles of Babylon
or of Thebes? As some bold hearts are
striving in this country to develop an
American fashion opposed to that of
Paris, that is the question American
Psychologists should strive to solve.
Conceding that Cretan ruins bear wit
ness to the durability of the corset,
may they not also give encouragement
to the hope that il was not always
worn as a straight front?

PAPA GUNN ORDERS
SECOND KNOT TIED

Youthful romance capped by sober
parental conservatism seems to have
marked the wedding Of Miss Gertrude
Hood and Kenneth Gum last Thurs
day, which was made doubly secure
by two ceremonies.
Just one marriage between the
youthful pair came as a vivid surprise
to their friends. and today it became
known that preceding the nuptials
announced to the public as having
taken place Thursday at the Episco-
pal church of the Advent there was a
quiet little wedding earlier in the day
at which Justice Of the Peace A. r.
Barnett officiated
While an engagement had existed
for some time. there had been family
counsel that the marriage be post
poned until the bridegroom reac..sd
a more secure pinnacle of business
affairs.
True love will not be denied. how
ever, so young Gum and his pretty
fiancee hied themselves to the clerks
office, obtained a marriage license and
then sought the justice.
When p. NJ. Gum. the newly made
father In law. was told the news he
objected to the form. or lack or form.
and ceremony OF the procee eding and
decreed that second marriage.
with benefit of clergy, should FOLLOW
at once.
The bridal pair cheerfully acqui-
esced.
