It's Valuable Now.


When William Jessup, who formerly
operated a wooden mill in Princeton,
died 20 years ago, he left among his
effects large key Of Russian red dye
stuff Each housekeeping time his son
in-law and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles F. Woods, had to shift 1t
around. Woods had tried to sell 1t
to wholesalers in vain; they didn't
need it.
"Whatll we do with this?" asked
Mr.. Woods when they cleaned house
last summer.
"Pile it on the trash heap and burn
It; I'm tired Of looking at it," said
Mrs Woods.
Being a dutiful husband, Mr.. Woods
obeyed.
Now the Russian dye is said to be
unobtainable at any price, and the
amount that Mr.. Woods burned would
have netted at this time from $500 to
$1,000
The losers philosophically agreed
that it's no use to cry over split
milk" and have dispensed with any
worry over what might have BEEN"

Funny Man of Japan,

The "Tads,' Bud Fishers, and Gold
bergs are not all confined to the realm
of American journalism, for Japan,
too. says a writer in Cartoons Maya
zine, has her comedy sketch artists.
The endeavors of these men, he says,
"show striking similarity to much
of the work done by our popular con-
temporaries. Clean, wholesome fun,
quite of the order that one finds in
such series as the 'Katzenjammer Kids
and The Adventures of Willie West
inghouse Edison Smith, predomi-
mates in the Japanese pictures. There
is only slight evidence of that ele-
ment which to the American mind
makes large proportion Of European
work risque and vulgar. The humor
is childlike, possibly even more so
than our own, but it has the browning
virtue OF having cleanliness without
being sterile or insipid.
'The Japanese have not created a
new style of comic cartoon. On the
contrary, they have remained thor
oughly true to their proclivity for
initiating the ideas Of others. They
have copied the American strip close
ly, and since we are prone to know
them for this trait more than almost
any other, few persons will wonder
at the fact"

Too Crowded to Be Seen.
Here is a garden, an exhibition OF
great scientific, educational and ro-
mantle interest-to say nothing of the
bits of history entwined about many
of its trees and plants-which is so
filed with rare specimens that the
average visitor cannot see them be-
cause of the way one is hidden by the
other. Among the most beautiful Gre
ations of nature, the poor stunted
trees and plants reach out toward the
skies for their place in the sun,
their share of the air, that they may
thrive and silently teach the lesson
of the beautiful.
Here is to be found, really living
and growing, cedar of Lebanon, such
as is spoken OF in the Bible, growing
and thriving only on one side because
it is crowded too much on the other.
Here also is to be found the euphorbia
splendens, the crown Of thornS," also
mentioned in the Bible. From the
"sawdust" of the former is made the
incense used in Greek and Roman
Catholic churches, highly pleasing to

No Full Moon for Columbus.

Anybody who says there was full
moon the night before Columbus dis
covered America isn't automatically or
historically accurate. And anybody
who prints a picture Of the scene with
a full moon in it is open to the criti-
cism of folk who are finicky about
details.
So it is that one OF the pictures in
the Ferris exhibition Of historical
American paintings at Philadelphia
finds itself being talked about. The
painting represents Columbus cara
vel the night before the big find. There
is a full moon just above the horizon,
while the reflection of the setting sun
is seen on the ships sails.
A critic opened a controversy, and
DR.. Eric Doolittle, professor Of astrOn-
omy at the University Of Philadelphia,
settled it. The critic said he didn't
think there was full moon that night.
Doctor Doolittle, consulting his
charts, proved there WASH t.-Philadel

w-OR several years congress has
been urged to give a new lease
of life to one Of the most in
teresting institutions in Wash
ington-the National Botanic Garden
by removing it to a 4OO-acre tract
in Rock Creek park. One need only
walk through the garden to appreci-
ate the need for such change.
The giant palms in the conserva-
tories are crowding the panes of glass
out of the roofs of the buildings in
which they are housed. Rare trees and
plants encroach upon one another,
pushing and struggling in their fights
for life and beauty. Exotics that have
been coaxed to fruit and flower in
their perfection in past years are
being persuaded to do SO now, under
present conditions Of congestion, only
by the hardest kind Of labor on the
part of the gardeners.
In this beautiful garden, started by
George Washington, one meets people
from all over the United States, says
the Washington Star. A mecca for
school children, teachers, bridal cou-
pies and other tourists, as we'll as men
and women of purely scientific turn
of mind, each season that passes gives
1t some new attraction, each year adds
10 it's collections.
Recently the garden has been par
ticularly enriched by the successful
growth and fruiting of the Carica pa
paya, under the loving care of the
superintendent, George w. Hess. This
papaya is something like the papaw
of the middle West, and is also known
as the melon papaw. 1t is, however,
tropical fruit, known in tropical coun-
tries as the melon zapote. 1t comes
from Mexico and Central America,
and the two young trees in the bo-
tanic garden bear witness to the fact
that the present occasion is the first
time the fruit has been produced in
Washington.
Superintendent Hess explained how
he happened to be able to produce the
fruit here.
These zapote trees" he said, were
mated by me. They have been in the
botanic garden, I suppose, about four

Of dough made from these highly

FEAR SHIPPING ACT
 IS SOCIALISM WEDGE

WASHINGTON, June 6. - Win throp L. Mavin and Edward k. Blod gett. representing the Boston Cham Der of Commerce, appeared before 8 senate committee to oppose the gov ernment ownership and operating fea lures of the shipping bill, which has already passed the house. They said they recognized the existence of 8 crisis in the shipping business of the country and approved in the main the provisions for a shipping board, but declared the Boston chamber was op posed to government participation ir the shipping business fundamentally
 We fear" said MT. Mavin, "that government participation in tine snip ping business would be an entering wedge toward Socialism"
 As an alternative for government operation the Boston representatives suggested carefully supervised and guarded subsidies from the govern ment.
