 SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 27.-Great Britain downed America at rugby football here today, r to 1G in the annual contest, inaugurated a year ago, between representative teams picked from the collegiate and club fifteens of the state.
 From start to finish the game was of the nip and tuck variety. The teams were evenly matched and the play was so excellent that experts were unable to pick any particular stars.
 Last years contest was won by the Americans.

About the Babies and 'Store Don is. !"
MOLINE IL.

In last Wednesday nights Dispatch
under the heading Must We Jolt Dull
Bumps of Memory" there is a list of
"Dont's for Christmas shoppers, Offered
without charge by the manager of a Moline
department store
The first one OF these "Donts" says: Don't take
your baby into crowded stores
The Fisk 4 Loosely Co. wants every
body TO know that it WASH t the manager
of this store that offered those Don is. "
Our aisles are wide, and we keep them
open and free so that baby carriages can
be run through the aisIes easily. There's
plenty Of room for all the baby buggies,
and We have counted as many as sixty
seven baby carriages here at one time
Our elevator isn't as big as some, but
there S always room in it for a baby buggy
On our second floor we have provided
a comfortable rest room where mothers
can take Their babies-p private enough to
be disable for the little tots care, vet where
the mothers can sit and rock the babies and
watch the store; or they can lay the little
ones down to sleep on the couch
You see, we want the babies to come
here to the Fisk & Loosely store We want
the mothers to feel free and easy here, and
there s nothing in reason that we won't
gladly do to get the baby carriage trade.
Another thing:
Among those Don It's" it says:
.........t the young women who work In de-
partment stores obliged TO stand their feet
from in the morning until 10 at hight during the
holiday season.
If this is the lit means 2-hour
workday for sle girls
No girl in the Fisk Loosely store ever
works over 10 hours in any day There are
seats in every department and every girl
is welcome to use them.
It's all right to urge people to shop
early, and we hope there will be crowds Of
these early shoppers here at the Fisk &
Loosely store every day.
But, also, we know that there's big
lot of people who have had to be mighty
careful about what they spent these last
IS months and who will want to wait until
pretty near Christmas before they can
spare the money for Santa Claus. It's these
good customers that the Fisk & Loosely
store is thinking about most of the time,
and there isn't clerk in our store who is
going to be so over-worked that he or she
will not have a cheerful welcome for every
customer clean up to $50 Christmas eve;
and everybody who comes here, right up
70 that last minute, will find our cleI s as
glad to wait on them as if it was a rainy
morning in mid-August, with only half
dozen customers in the whole store.
Just Won try it, and see.

THE STORY OF
THE CARNATION


From the Washington Star.
At this season of the year the most
conspicuous flowers In the floral shops
are the chrysanthemums and roses.
However, take the rail-, winter and
spring through, the carnation as a
favorite vies with the rose and the
violet. A large number of carnations
are bought every day, and especially
every evening, in Washington, be-
cause it is a beautiful and meritorious
flower, and a man can usually buy a
bigger bunch of beauty, color and
perfume in carnations for a dollar
than of roses or violets.
The carnation is an interesting
fort has been bestowed on its devel.
! flower. A great deal Of brain and ef-
-yOpment, and the list of varieties that
: have been evolved in the United
Estates within the half century would
fill column. It is a very old flower
and a native Of southern Europe.
Theophrastus, who lived about 800
years before the Christian era and
wrote history Of plants, wrote of this
flower as "dianthus," from dos, d.
! vine. and anthus, flower, meaning, of
course, divine flower" or flower of
the GODS" That name was, no doubt,
given it because Of the fragrance,
which was supposed to be especially
pleasing to certain Of the peaceful
gods and goddesses. So in this way
the name dianthus came to be given
- to the genus.
1t was given the specific name ,of
caryophyllus, and there Is something
of interest in that name. Canyon is
the Greek for nut and phyllon for
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1915-04-10

leaf: 1t is believed that the Greeks
called the Glove tree caryophyllus aro-
matlcus, and the carnatiOn was called
caryphyllus because in its odor there
was strong suggestion Of the odor of
cloves. 1t came to be called carna-
ton from the Latin carIia, or flesh,
because the original type of this
foyer, the only type the ancients
knew, was flesh colored. This flower
has been under cultivation for prob
ably much more than 1000 years,
for Theophrastus wrote that 1.-The
Greeks cultivate roses, gillyflowers,
violets, narcissi and iris In the
translation Of Theophrastus' work
this flower was rendered in English
as "gillyf1ower," because that is what
the English used to call it.
Early in the middle ages the gar
deners Of Holland, France and Italy
broke up the original color of the
carnation into it's component parts
which were red and white, and pro-
duced red carnations and white car
nations. They must have produced
a large number of vaoieties, because
Gerard, literary authority on such
matters, wrote, in 1897, that ito de-
scribe each new variety of carnation
Der the sands of the sea- 1t was
Sisyphus who was condemned by
Pluto to roll to the top of hill a
stone, which necessarily fell back
when it had reached the summit.
The carnations which the old writ
ers discussed were summer-blooming
flowers. The perpetual blooming
varieties, which are now the only
ones we know, were not originated
until about 1910, and then by a
French gardener. This variety war
sent on it's course around the world
about 1874, and there are records 81
it being in the United States in 1868.
Among the varieties of forty years
ago, of which there were but a few,
the best known were the President
Degraw and La Purite., It is said that
American. florists have. done more
than all Others in the world in devel.
/ oping new varieties of this wonderful,
flower, and that there are over SOC
distinct varieties of American cDea.
