Fifty Years Work of the Late
Deborah GrisGom PasSmore
Gift to Uncle Sam.
BY EDITH LOBERT.

A VALUABLE collection of water
II color flower paintings by the
late Deborah Griscom Passmore
has Just been presented to the library
of the Department of Agriculture by
Mrs. Mary Sumner, Moorestown, " j.,
favorite niece of the artist. and Miss
Carrie Harrison, assistant in the Bu-
reau of Plant Industry.
The collection consists of 100 EXQUISITE
ly painted plates of flowers. and is a
fragment of a work begun by this bo-
tanical artist more than fifty years ago.
1t embraces all the rare and common
specimens of the wild flowers of Amer
lea.
Mrs. Sumner, who. with Miss Har-
riSOn. is joint donor of this priceless
collection. was appointed executrix OF
Miss PASSWORDS estate shortly after the
artists death. in February, 1911.
Miss Passmore and Miss Harrison
were devoted friends, and the gift to the
Government is made, not only to pre-
serve the plates to the scientific world
but as a memorial from the two women
with whom Miss Passmore was closely
associated.
Miss Harrison is the author of the pre-
face to the plates which are bound into
one large volume. She was the Organ-
iZer of the National Herbarium, and Sc
cured the only large collection of Porto
Rican plants in the country at the time
the islands came into the possession uf
the United States.
Remarkable Accuracy.
Miss Passmore's paintings are so
delicately and so accurately executed
that DR.. Edward Lee Greene. botanist
of the Smithsonian Institution, was
enabled TO identify each specimen botan-
ically, in an instant's glance.
In his own handwriting he affixed

down fighting. and in defeat you will
win more than you could gain by the
greatest victory.
Many a lesson could be drawn from
the career of big Jim Jeffries. The
Prophet Isaiah said: He that believeth
shall not make haste Isaiah must
have had somebody like JEFF in mind.
Nobody ever accused Jim of having
many things in his head. but what lie
knew he was dead sure Of WAY back
in the days when he was acting as
sparring partner of Jim Corbctt he
got the idea firmly wedged in the con-
crete OF his dome that no mau in the
world could hurt him with punch.
Numerous gentlemen, famed for the
blasting and destructive effect of the
wallops they carried, tried to convince
him that he had made a mistake, but
they never got very far.
Jeff's plan of battle in those days
was charming in its ingenious SIM
Plicity, worthy of the Neolithic giant
who conceived it. He would walk de-
hberately after his foe with his left
fist poised for crushing blow. There
was no excitement, nor was there any
attempt at deception. He believed
he did not make haste.

ADJOURNMENT DATE
SLIPS FURTHER OFF

Progress on the trust bills in the Sen
ate is so slow that many members Of
Congress begin to see signs that 1t will
be the middle of September or the first
OF October before the session closes.
Owing to the fact that this Is cam
paign year and many members are eager
TO get home to commune with the vot-
ers, the situation becomes more and
more worrisome for a large majority of
OF Senators who have contests on in
their districts or States.
A week and half more Of work will
see the end of July and the beginning
of August at hand. II is not expected
the trust program will then be much
advanced. Neither the Senate judiciary
Committee nor the Interstate Commerce
Committee has completed consideration
of the trust measures. Each committee
may report this week, but this is not
certainty. 49,.
II the Senate could get down to busi-
ures before it by the beginning Of Au-
gust. it might be able to vote on them
and get ready for adjournment by Sep
tember l. But a month is not a long
time for debate in the Senate on three
trust measures involving questions vital
to the business of the country. More
time might easily be required.
Moreover the Senate still has other
serious problems on its hands. 1t is
getting well along with the appropri-
ations. but 1t has not passed the river
and harbor bill and 1t is still beset
with the Jones and Warburg nomina-
tons.
Senate and House leaders are utter
Iy unable to make anything like a
positive prediction as to adjournment.
Some Of the more pessimistic say the
session will run up to election time,
and perhaps this session will merge
with the next one.
