ture and every physical characteristic
known in the world. which means that
the flora of the country includes the
most diversified types and that the Be-
tanic Garden must propa gate them all
in order to cater to the different eli
mates of the widely separated states.
This is necessary if the congressman
are to be truly benefited by plant dis
tribution. The work is. therefore. not
small undertaking. and one needs lit
tie comprehension in matters botanical
to realize its extent

The ba lmy breeZes which sweep Cali

differing greatly from that of rock
bound Maine. Obviously. it would be
a ridiculous and impractical procedure
If plants were sent out promiscuously;
Montana or Wisconsin might receive
consignment of citrus trees, and some
of the southern states might become
the unwilling recipients of evergreens
that thrive only in the snowy belts.
In avoiding such mistakes .he super
1ntendent of the Botanic Garden. Mr..
George W. Hess, is confronted with
responsibility that implies special I'M
Outstanding of gardening and ma
tional viewpoint on the situation.
In some cases. of course, the congress-
men make known to Mr.. Hess their in
dividual desires and specify exactly
what plants they desire to have
shipped to them. In many cases. how
ever. they pay little attention to their
allotment. knowing that they will uIti-
mately distribute ii among their con-

prepared for distribution contains nine
teen kinds of trees, including number
of varieties with industrial value;
sixteen varieties of climbing vines and
creepers. SIX varieties OF bedding

roses in variety, SiNty-fOur varieties OF
shrubs. the class of plants in greatest
demand and therefore demanding the
widest range of variety, and nine her
baceous plants.
Each member of Congress has a
wooden shipment box with his name
and post office printed on the outside.
In the packing rooms at the garden.
these boxes are now being hauled out
of their winter hiding places. for the
distribution to southern points is about
to begin. Slowly through the late
winter and early spring months. as the
thaw spreads northward. the distribu
ton progresses until by May 10 the
greenhouses are empty, everything is
either sent off or bedded in the gar
den. and the boxes for the northern
most states are at their destination.
The growing of all of these plants
is the chief activity of the Botanic
Garden. While the garden exists pri-
marily for the benefit of plant loving
community and the display, gathered
in many instances from the uttermost
parts of the world, is not only calcu-
lated to awaken botanical but his
torical interest, it interweaves with
these immediate aims another influence
that is possibly more far-reaching in
educating the public to realization of
the beauty ami value in the existence
of the plant world.
This influence arrives at the post

First Lecture on
Theosophical Theme
Set for Tonight

Have We lived on earth before"
The foregoing is one OF the questions
that will be discussed by /. w. Rogers,
author and lecturer ON thcosophlcal
subjects during his series OF free lee
tures, which will be given in the Lee
iluckins, the first OF which is sched
uled for tonight
Here are some OF the questions the
lecturer will speak upon.
"Will We live on earth again Who
chose for Us our station in HE, and de
cided for us that we should be born IN
a hoyel or in palace Why are some
men born with criminal nature others
with a disposition to be good2 Why
are some men born with the faculty of
genius and others are born dullards
Why is it that often the bad prosper
and the good suffer- Why IS it that
thing is wrong TO one man and right
to another, What is conscience, and
why is not the conscience OF all men
the same Why are some children
born IDIOTS, weaklings, deiormed and
crippled aud others strong, bright and
good Is It jtst that man should
suffer for sins he has not committed,
as the sins OF his father? What be
comes OF the ignorant man who lives
and dies without a knowledge of God"

l'was triile the elder OF the two. a
very attractive. hooking woman, taste.
fully gowned and carefully groomed.
The younger, who had been the first
speaker, was perhaps, the more dash
ing. Certainly she appeared to be the
more sophisticated And as Constance
caught her eye she Involuntary
thought of the old proverb, Never
trust man who doesn't look you in
the eye or woman who does"
Two men sauntered down the long
corridor, on the way from visit TO
the bar. AS they caught sight of the
two ladies there was smile of
recognition, an exchange of remarks
between each pair and the men hur-
ried in the direction Of the >cornet.
They greeted the two ladic, in low,
ban,ering, familiar terms-"Mr Smith"
Mrs Jones' "Mr. White" and Mrs.
Brown"
"You got my Card1" asked one oe
the men OF the woman nearest Com
stance. "Sorry we're late, but a busi-
ness friend ran into us as we were
coming In and | had to shunt him off
in the other direction"
lie nodded toward the opposite end
OF the corridor with a laugh,
You've been bad boys" pouted tho
other woman but we forgive you--
this time"
"Perhap, we may hope to be rein-
stated after a ittle-er-,ea-and A
dancer" suggested the other man.
The four were all moving in the d.
reetion of the dining room and the gay
music.
They had disappeared In the crush
about the door before Constance no
,iced that the woman who had been
