TEACHING THE CHILDREN
ABOUT FLOWERS
RvL. M. Termination.

One of the things that wise old folk
of many generations have repeated is
that If child be taught until it is
twelve years of age 1t doesn't make
much difference who has the subse-
quent handling, the direction of the
mind will be fixed and the career
pointed. This truth is shown in no
way better than in the development of
q love for flowers and for the garden.
Country folk imagine that children
in the big cities have no trees, no
grass and no flowers. Quite the re-
verse; They have the benefit of see
ing the best development that is made
by the leading culturists of the world.
They are now being taught the value
of flowers. The\ time was when a
child could not be trusted alone in
city park where flowers were exhib-
tied. They pulled the plants and they
despoiled the gardens. No 'vandal
ever hit a place with heavier hand
than the average city child struck a
park flower bed. The fear of the po-
lice did not deter them, They had no
particular thought for the reproOf of
their parents.
Now the people who study parks and
flowers have gone to studying children,
and strangely enough, they have dis
covered that children are rational hu-
man beings, thoroughly susceptible of
being taught the value of flowers and
the care that is required to produce
and keep them. In many of the big
flower plots the little fellows are be-
ing regularly taken and told all about
the way that flowers thrive. They are
being taught botany as a kindergarten
study--not in the dry terms of the ex-
pert, but in the plain. interesting way
Of the amateur. They are learning
how seeds are planted, how bulbs
come from the queer land of the dykes
and all of the other secrets.
The truism that the greatest and
the crop of children is impressing it.
self in the pursuit of this hitherto neg
lected branch Of garden work. When
a child begins to get interested in the
study of flowers, made pleasing by
the avoidance of dry detail, there is
no end to the possibility of pleasure
that can be derived from 1t. The in
struction affords the grown-ups sim
pie way to enjoy the society of the
young, which is the best tonic that
age ever had. More gray hairs can be
lodged and more wrinkles ironed out

the application of any known cure.
Once this is fully realized, the value
Of taking up the flower study with
children will make am appeal to many
many older persons who now seek 9
book and corner when they might
be finding renewed youth with the
tots.
Tell the children things that win in

them how these little bees, without
knowing 1t, are carrying from one fra
grant blossom to another the germ
of life that makes possible the repro
duction OF the flower and keeps alive
the beauty and the joy of having the
plant.
That study ought to appeal to a ma
ture mind; it certainly does to the
mind of child. The truth has bu

pots are to be kept in cool cellar I'M

They may be planted in the open

"a IN bulletin OF the National
Geographic society, compiled
from a communication to the society
from H. G. Dwight.
Somebody had told me that Saloniki
was rather like Genoa, writes Mr..
Dwight. My first impression, therefore,
was of disappointing f1atness, not in
the least comparable to the lofty air.,
the piled, Fashioned, heaven-scaling air.
of the italian city. Yet Saloniki
scales heaven, too, in her more
discreet manner. And there is even
something family Italian about her.
This is most palpable on the
broad quay of the water front, espe-
cially when a veritable row of fisher
men from the Adriatic are drying nets
or sails under the sea wall, just as they
do in Venice The crescent of white
buildings facing the blue bay would
not look foreign in any Rimini cr Spez-
zia. The White tower. which is the
most conspicuous of them, might per-
fectly have been the work of an Ital-
ian prince. Indeed, doge of Venice
is said to have built the first edition of
it. and Suleiman the Magnificent en-
ployed Venetians for his own.

gates of hospitality there. A skating

passer-by. Cafes abound, overfiowing
onto the awninged sidewalk. Electric

consciousness of the fact that they ex-
listed when imperial Constantinople
was yet innocent of such modernities.
These cars take you around the east
suburb of Kalamaria, where consuls
and other notables of Saloniki live, and
where Sultan Abdul Hamid II spent
nearly four bitter years in the italian
villa Allattini, looking out at the pro-
vincial capital which he and Nero en-
bellished in their day. On the opposite
horn of the crescent is the latin-enough
park of Besh Chinar Give Plane
Trees), where it is good to sip coffee
and listen to music in the cool of the
day. And if you did not know that
greater prize and ornament of Saloniki
for Olympus, the true Thessalian Olym
pus of Greek legend, you might easily
imagine it to be some white Alp OF
Apennlne looming magnificently across
the bay.
Not Wholly italian in Looks.
Look a little closer, however, and
this italian appearing town has IN
familiar details. The white campanil
that everywhere prick up above the
roofs of weathered red are too slender
and too pointed for true bell towers
Then, as you land at the quay you per
ceive that the electric cars are labeled
in strange alphabets. The cafes do no

Money Dictator
. For London to Curb
Yankee Bankers
Correspondence of The Associated Press.)

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
/ London, Jan. 2l.-A demand for a
money dictator" whose duty would
be to SHOW the Yankee bankers that
they cannot rush up interest rates as
they did some two months ago. is
made by the Pail Mall Gazette.
IF the war lasts another year,"
says the article, "a money dictator
will be the only way out of our tUou-
Bile.
THE new British loan is a delibcr-
ate attempt on the part of the chan
cellor of the exchequer to cut down
the rate OF interest that the naion has
to pay on its borrowings. The issue
of per cent exchequer bonds was a
fatal mistake and Mr.. Bonar Law is
not likely to repeat the blunder of his
predecessor. He is man of BUSH
ness and he told the bankers last
week that he meant to- get all the
money needed for the war, and that
he meant to get it as cheaply as he
could. He did rot talk compulsion,
but he gave a pretty strong hint that
if necessary he could be very firm
indeed
There is not the smallest reason
why we should not have money die
tator as well as a food dictator.
The investing public might be ed
ucated to look upon a per cent free
of tax as an ample interest to receive
on a sound stock. The Germans
have made all their loans at 5 per
cent. They have financed on sound
lines and have realized that war
loans lare only a species of paper
credits and that it is just as easy to
issue at as at 6, as long as you hold
control of the money market.
1T is more difficult for us to con-
troll our market, as we are buying
abroad and exporting large amounts,
but the task is by no means insuper-
able. A clever man would soon show
the Yankee bankers that they cannot
rush up rates as they did some two
months ago. | don't suppose that
American bankers in London have
more than G20,000000 on deposit
and this amount is too small to con-
troll the price of money"

Two Brave Little Girls.

By Alice l.. Erion, Bellevue, Neb.
Red Side
The cabin was set right in-the edge.
of a grove of saplings. Back of the
cabin was a dense forest and in front
was another Two girls were COM
ing out OF the cabin. One of them,
named Ellen, said: Let us ask mother
where she is going this afternoon. -
Her sister, May, consented and when
they asked their mother she said she
was going to the neighboring village
to get provisions and the girls would
have to watch the house.
The mother had gone and it was
the middle Of the afternoon. Ellen
saw something moving on the edge
of the forest, which was across the
plains. The girls gathered the most
precious belongings and hurried into
the forest. They were hidden Just in
time, because only five minutes passed
when three Indians rode up to the
house and raided it. The Indians took
all they could carry and then they
rode away. The girls stayed in the
forest until they could not hear the
beating of the horses hoofs.-
The girls mother had heard that
Indians were roaming over that part
of the country, so she hurried home.
When she reached the home she ex-
pected to see the girls dead, but
OF course they were not. She said
the girls were brave and womanly to
do Just what was right.
