"SUB ROSA" IMPLIES SECRECY
Term Had Its Origin Long Ago In q
Plot Which involved Existence
Of Sparta.

The origin of the phrase sub rosa,
under the rose" implies secrecy, and
had Its origin in the year AT b. c., at
which time Pausanias, the commander
of the confederate fleet of the Spar
tans and Athenians, was engaged In
intrigues with Xerxes for the subju.
CATION of Greece to the Persian rule,
and for the hand of the monarch's
daughter in marriage. The negotia-
lions were carried on In building
attached TO the temple of Minerva,
called the Brazen house, the roof of
which was garden forming bower
of roses; so that the plot, which was
conducted with the utmost secrecy,
was literally matured under the roses.
Pausanias, however, was betrayed by
one OF his emlssaries, who, by pre-
concerted plan with the overseers and
counselorS OF state, five in number
gave them secret opportunity to
hear from the lips of Pausanlas the
acknowledgment of his treason, To
escape arrest, he fled to the temple
or Minerva, and as the sanCtity of the
place forbade Intrusion, the people
walled up the editice so that he might
die of starvation.

the power of transmitting the base into

DAHilA is MAKING FRIENDS
Once Humble Flower Rapidly Being
Brought to High Position by the
Master Florists

The chrysanthemum is not to have
everything its own way in the world OF
flowers. No doubt the chrysanthemum
show gets more of the limelight Of
publicity than dahlia show, but the
gorgeous blossom that was once called
''the prim old maid of the flower world"
is having Its shows" or exhibitions
just the same. and the reports have 1t
that they are attended by large crowds.
The dahlia show has become regular
thing in many cities and 1t is said that
there are persons who can work up
quite rs much enthusiasm for the dab
Lin as for the mum" The dahlla,
from very simple and home-loving
flower, has become somewhat of So
cial pet.
1t was not many years ago that the
dahlia hloomed in the yards of small
homes. Sometimes II grew In the front
yard and sometimes In the back yard.
II might be remarked here that the
yard" especially the front yard"
has disappeared. Nobody now has
front yard. Nobody who is anywhere
near up to date would have such
thing about the house. The piece of
real estate which we used to call the
front yard has become the "tawn."
Wei, formerly the dahlia grew only
in the yards of humble homes. 1t had
.,Ct broken into what is called $50
ciety." fashionable grounds" could
not think of admitting such plain,
hardy and highly colored citizen of the
flower world as mere dahlia. 1t did
not belong TO their set. But the merit
of this flower and the high state Of cul-
ture which II has attained under the
guidance and tuition OF master florists
has forced the proudest gardens TO
open their gates or let down their
fences. The dahlla now holds up Its
stately head among the exclusive set
of tuheroses, gladi0las, carnations and
the like.

The Welcome Guest,

There is scarcely anyone who does
not wish TO be welcome guest, yet

thought about it all, but, guided sim
ply by her sincere desire to express
real fellowship, has instinctivefy full
filled her obligations. Yet when con-
sidered, perhaps the one thing more
than another which insures ones re-
newed welcome may be summed up In
the single word, adaptability.

HOT LUNCH TO Be
SERVED PUPILS
IN RURAL SCHOOLS
LA SALE COUNTY TAKES LEAD
IN IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL
FEATURE. WITH HOME ADVIS,
OR SHOWING TIE WAY.

The movement started in La Sale
county in November by the La Sale
county Home Improvement association
for the serving Of hot MONDAY lunches
in the schools has met with general
favor, and an effort is to be made in
the near future to have every school
adopt the hot lunch plan, Up to the
established in nine OF the rural
schools
The following article on the bene-
fits of the hot lunch centers, and the
establishment of these centers has
been prepared by Miss Helen Glot-
felter, county home advisor.
The proposal for establishing hot
lunches in rural schools in La Sale
county is not new. 1t has been tried
out elsewhere, and with such salts
factory results that schools in all
OF the northern states are taking up
the hot lunch plan.
The results OF the work have been
manifold. There has not been simply
the increase in comfort to the pupil,
but the problem of discipline in the
afternoon has been partially solved,
and attendance and health have been
bettered.
A child of the age attending rural
schools is at that period of develop
ment when food is one of the most
important factors, and many times
troubles blamed to the teacher or
child himself can be attributed to the
wrong or poorl yprepared food. When
a child has a hot meal in the morn
ing, walks or rides a mile or so to
school, studies and recites all morning
at noon he is hungry. The lunch
pals, often containing food which
is not very tempting, are left in cold
halls In cold weather the food is
often absolutely frozen. When this
food is eaten and washed down with
few gulps Of cod water it has to be
warmed before it can be digested
Consequently it lies in a cold lump
in the stomach till enough heat has
been drawn from the body Cheat that
should be used for other purposes),
to warm the food sufficiently TO be di-
gested.
AS a result, vitality is lowered, and
the body is less resistent to disease,
the child is restless, not attentive and
often remains at home if he can find
an excuse.

Measuring the Height Of Clouds.

A scientist attacked to one of the
bureaus at Washington has been en-
gagged In measuring the height of
clouds by photography. SimuItane-
Gus pictures of cloud were made by
two cameras placed GOO feet apart and
connected by telegraph wires. From
the amount of displacement of the
cloud caused by viewing it alternately
from each end of the 60O-foot base line
its height could be calculated. Some
of the "mackerel sky" clouds photo
graphed were seven and quarter
miles high. The loftiest clouds whose
elevation was thus measured belonged
to the type known as cirrus, or "cnrl
cloud" the height Of which was lit
lie more than seventeen miles.
