Green,

Owing to its derivation the word
"groen' was originally applied to the
color of vegetation, but not to thc color
of The sea. No application of green
to lhe color of the sea is quoted before
Ch8uccr, but as early as the year 100 it
was used for vegetation. The word is
akin to grass and grow which verb
originally belonged to the vegetable
world alone Vegetables grew but
animals "waxcd." "Grccn" comes from
an Aryan root, "ghahr," meaning to be
green or yellow, and "ycllow,' "gold"
anh "yolk' come from that same root.

JOHNSON OPERA HOUSE TODAY
"The Primrose Rins"-Fascnatins
Story Of Little Nurse, Herself Once
Crippled Child, Against Head Nurse,

Doctors and Directors in Hospital.
A whimsical story dealing with fair
les, knights and elves is The Primrose
Ring" featuring Mae Murray. the
charming Lasky star, in Paramount
Pictures. The screen adaptation was
made by Marian Fairfax from Ruth
Sawyer's clever story.
Since her debut on the screen in ITO
Have and to Hold" the popularity of
the winsome Mae Murray has gone up
in leaps and bounds. In The Prim-
rose Ring" this captivating young
star is seen as nurse in a children s
hospital, and as she herself was once
a crippled child. she takes an unusual
interest in them and in spite of the
disapproval of the head nurse and the
trustees. amuses the children with the
thrilling fairy stories of COLLINS, elves,
plumed knights. and fairy glens.
This little nurse has fallen deeply in
love with the handsome young head
doctor of the hospital. whose father
has befriended her. and when he forces
her to stop amusing the children she
promptly resigns.
How matters are finally Strengthened
out and how the little primrose ring is
woven about the little nurse is all ex-
planned.

PLACES ORDERLY

Everything was quiet and harmonious
at the various registration places
throughout the city on Tuesday A feat
ure of the days work was the unexpect-

the forenoon. OF course it cannot be def
nitely stated just what the registrat ton
will be, but should the totals of the aft
ernoon and evening keep pace with those
of the morning there should be rising $50
names. There appears to be something
of question as to whether or not the
fact that so many have volunteered from
Gardiner will affect the quota required
from this city. In case that it does, his
tory will be repeating itself. as during
the Civil War the city escaped a draft
from this cause.
