Marion Davies is using the same boat in her next picture which was built for Mary Pickford during the filming of The Pride of the Clan" For two years the hulk has lain idle in the property room of the Paragon studios, and now it has been resur- rected and a modern vessel built over the old discarded frame. One of the features of ''The Pride of the Clan" it will be remembered, was the way in which Miss Pickford worked until the water appeared to submerge her. The ship of state will be turned back to it's former state when Miss Davies and her company get through with it.

Magnolia crandIfIora.

Our common magnolia was well
named, for it has the grandest flower
of 35 species found in various parts
Of the world. One other large ever
green species, also native to this couh,
try, is NJ. glanca. About two or three
dwarf evergreen species are known,
the other 80 are decduous and gen
orally flower before the leaves appear.
Magnolia macrophylla, as implied by
its specific name. has the largest
leaves of the group. These sometimes
grow a foot wide and two feet long.
It grows wild from Kentucky to Flor
ida and west to Arkansas and Loulsi-
ana. The flowers are not snowy or
Of nice color. The more common spe-
cies grow best where water is found a
few feet below the surface.-Los An

prince Murat Of Naples" 1t stands

Napoleon appointed ruler Of Naples in

a beautiful southern girl, and built a
modest house, which still stands and Is
known as the Murat homestead. In
addition to being a great traveller, Mu-
rat was a writer of talent, one of his
books about America running through
80 editions in France. But he was
also peculiar to the verge of lunacy,

Lesson of skxscraper.

There is no more vivid record of the
life of the middle ages than the tall
spired Gothic cathedral, reaction
from the licentiousness of imperial
Rome. Today the skyscraper, "the
cathedral Of commerce." decked in its
meaningless borrowed finery or naked
in its utilitarianism, expresses the ma
terialstic and practical tendencies of
modern civilization. The cathedral,
however, is a perfected embodiment
Of an ideal; the skyscraper is only a
makeshft. Those who built 1t thought
of providing place where many peo-
pie may work, and beauty is given
little or no thought. Beauty is con-
sdered an accessory, not a necessity.
AS each sleyscraper has lowered high
and shut out air and light from 9th
ers, it has been not only a symbol Of
greed and the power of wealth, but
also Of the power of the individual

Sources Of Rubber

Most of the rubber produced comes
from the valley of the Amazon, the
central part of Africa and the East
Indies, and a small portion from Mex
leo and the southwest part of the
United States. Rubber from tie
United States is obtained from num-
ber of plants in paying quantities.
The rubber obtained from the hevea
tree is the highest quality known. 1t
Is known as para rubber" because it
is shipped from Para, in Brazil. The
Congo region in Africa abounds in
rubber producing plants. Guayule, a
shrub growing three to five feet in
height, is becoming an important
source of rubber. This plant is also
found in Mexico and In southwestern
Texas.

Lone-Llved Creatures.

Crocodiles which were in the
swamps of the West Indies when the
first explorer set foot on the islands,
are basking there yet, and in the ocean
still are whales that frequented the
coast of France when Joan of Arc was
a child and when, in 1415. Henry V
of England landed in Normandy with
a great army and seized Honfleur.
These whales, if they could talk and
cared to, could tell us that in those
days there were large whale fisheries
along the Basque coast; in fact, pretty
generally in the Gulf of Gascony. For
whales live several centuries, while
elephants rarely pass one hundred
years but carp and crows sometimes
live two centuries.
