REFUSED TO BE CONFINED
Honeysuckie Escaped From Formal
Gardens and Parks to BestoW
Its Fraqrance on All.

Years ago Japan sent to this coun-
try a vigorous green vine which won
favor through it's lavish display Of
fragrant white flowers in late spring.
For a time the vine and flowers were
kept within the bounds of gardens,
lawns and parks. Then it ran away.
Today you'll find it roaming along the
roadside, climbing stumps and hedges.
1t needs no gardener, the Philadel-
phia North American says, for it can
take care of itself. 1t is the honey
suckle.
The japanese variety which ran
away Joined some of it's American
cousins, who are just as pretty and as
fragrant. There's the coral honey
suckle, for example-a famous porch
climber in the Southern states, with
trumpet-shaped flowers, red outside
and scarlet within. In England they
have the woodbine-a c~ream-colored
fragrant relative of the honeysuckle.
Recently there came a e variety
from China, where it was found on the
tops OF mountains o,oOO leeL dDoVe
the sea. Its foliage is almost ever
green, and the flowers are a reddish
bronze. Another variety has ret
flowers, with yellow and buff mark
ings.
There's no need to hunt for the
h~oneysuckle. Its fragrance will an
nounce it before you're near enough
to see it.

Cuttinu Bullet Out of the Heart.

DR.. Maurice Beaussenat, who had
already extracted a piece of grenade
from the right ventricle Of q mans
heart, told the French Academic des
Sciences of a second similar operation
performed with success.
4 corporal wounded at Eparges had
been treated for p%eritonitis and then
had been operated on for appendicitis.
He continued to suffer in various
ways for more than Il year, when a
kaleidoscope revealed the pressure of a
%shrapnel ball, moving in time to the
beatings of his heart. Surprising this
to be in the pericardium or a about

in" as the surgeons say, and saw that
the ball was actually in the right ven
tricle, near the lower end.
The heart was drawn out; it's wall
was cut open between two loops of
wire, the ball was removed and the
heart was sewn up again. Six months
later the heart had healed sc perfectly
that there was not a sign of irregu'
iarity about its pulsations.

AerOnant Tom Mays Jr. Killed at kanDapels.

Tom Mays, Jr., of Greensboro,
aged 10, was killed at Kannapolls
Saturday afterr OOH when his par.

The young man was given the
signal by his assistant to cut

some reason his parachute did
not open, and he fell about $50
feet to his death. He was rush

soon after reaching the hospital.
Mr. Mays home was in Greens

tend the big sale of lots.

Just why the parachute did not
open is not known. 1t is thought
however, that a wet balloon is re-
responsible for the accident, Mr.
MAYS was to have made a flight
earlier in the week but rain caus-
ed it to be postponed, Saturday,
it is stated, he was advised not to
make the flight: but he decided
the balloon was all right. After
he had risen to probably 1900
feet his balloon began to fail rap
idly, this being caused by its wet
condition. The signal was then
given for him to cut loose. He
fell several hundred feet with
the useless parachute in his
hands. No one saw him strike
the ground, as he fell behind a
clunlp of trees but the crowd
realized with horror what had
happened before the body was
reached.

The exercises for Childrenss day took the place of the usual preaching service Sunday morning at the First Congregational church. The young CT classes. including the primary, were grouped on the platform, where were daisies, ferns, snowbaIls and clover blossoms. The white suits and white dresses with bright ribbons and the brighter faces made an attractive pie ture in the audience room, where many were gathered Most of the recfta- tions were given in clear voice and distinctly heard. In all the songs by the school the child voices were sweet as the carol of birds in the early morning.
 Among the pleasing recitations was one by six of the primaries, COM LING, outlined in six letters of green. each child's part beginning with the letter worn. Rev. G. H. Ewing in his address drew practical lessons for the young people from the moves in a ball game.
