Hurrah! a Yellow Rambler.

Because the Chinese have been farming some
sections OF their country for 1000 years, the
United States department OF agriculture believed
that they must have discovered many things
which would prove OF great value to American
farmers
so plant explorer, Frank N. Meyer, was
se mt to China three years ago. with instructions
10 collect vegetation adapted to swampy, or al
kali lands, OF TO conditions OF drought or exces-
sive heat.
Meyer tramped about 1900 miles In his search
Perhaps his most valuable discoveries are
those which concern the growing OF aquatic
plants and vegetables. which offer promising pos
abilities for the utilization Of swamps.
The find which flower lovers will most appre-
ciate is that OF yellow rambler rose.

He started school for convicts
There were those who did not even

others who were slightly farther ad

some with technical learning. The

A good many people are unneces-
sarily worried by experiencing what
psychologists call Authorizations.
Briefly stated, man has an hallu.
cination whenever ne sees, hears, or
feels an object that exists only in
his imagination. The things seen
by the victim of delirium tremens
are typical Authorizations
So are the imaginary objects that
so frequently torment those afflicted
with insanity. In such cases the
authorizations are caused by. and
are symptomatic of. serious condi-
tons in the brain.
But people whose brain is not at
all diseased may likewise have hal
lucinaiions That is a fact not gen
orally appreciated, with the result
that many people are plunged into
needless anxiety.
Inquiry made among thousands OF
people by learned society. the So
ciety for Psy chlcal Research. has re-
yealed that under special conditions
a person in the best OF mental and
physical health is liable TO expert
ence an hallUcination.
In fact. the statistics gathered by
this society indicate that hailucina-
lions occur at some time or other
20 about one person in every 10.
These Authorizations may be COM
monpIace, terrifying. or strangely
fantastic. Thus. a middie-aged man
relates:
II had been in bed and asleep but
short time, when / was awakened
by a queer tapping sound in the
hall outside my door.

light was burning in the hall As |

the Negroes. 10; congress heed the
appeal OF The national association
for the Advancement OF the colored
people by providing that some of
the new regiments TO be added to

regiments now in the army have

The only sources now available where
instruction can be obtained in love maxi

youth, anxious to improve his talents and
to become an expert, must pick up his
information from mass Of woefully UNI

OF course there are the books on love
and marriage including "How to Win

periodicals, but none of them seems to
