Microscope reveals Many
Vegetable Forms Can Move
As Easily as Can Animals

One of the chief distinctions be
tween vegetable and animal life is that
animals have power of choice and OF
voluntary motion. while vegetables and
plants grow only mechanically by
natural law. But the microscope seems
to show that many vegetable forms
can move as easily as can animals
There is a plant called vovox s,oba-
tor. so minute that millions of it could
be put in wine glass, which is seen
to whirl like a top across the field OF
the microscope. Some plants found In
our ponds. which are still more minute
move habitually, as with an apparent
purpose.
Scientists who have given closer
study than others to climbing plants
state that these seem to exercise the
liberty of choice. Their tendrils, In
climbing over pieces Of wood with
holes, will try one hole after another
until they find one that pleases them.
One Investigator saw tendril with
draw itself after having located itself
in hole for SO hours.

The mind. that ocean where each kind

To a green thought in green shaoe.

There, like a bird. 1t sits and sings.
Then whets and ciaps its silver wings.
And. till prepared for longer flight.
Waves in its plumes the various light.
Such was the happy garden state.
While man there walked without a mate.
After a place so pure and sweet.
What other help could yet be meet?
But twas beyond mortals share
To wander solitary there;
Two paradises are in one,
To live in Paradise alone.

Vaughn's cose. The left-hander now
best pitchers in the country and con-
tends that his services are worth
more to the club than the amount
proffered him by President Mitchell.
Vaughn honestly believes he will
have another successful year and is
confident he will win as many games
as Alexander. therefore, is of the
opinion that his contract should come
close to equaling Alexander's.
President Mitchell is not of the
same opinion, naturally. He is will
ing to acknowledge that Vaughn is
an effective pitcher, but adds that
Vaughn does not want to forget that
first class support of his teammates
made it possible for him to win as
many games as he did. This, the
president argues. made Vaughn a
great pitcher, although he really did
not pitch any better ball than he has
furnished the team in the last few
years. Mitchell believes that Alex
ander, with the 1918 Cub team play-
ing behind him, would have won more
than thirty games. which would have
shown him to be more valuable to
the club than Vaugn and the south
paw would not now have the privi-
lege of demanding better terms.
Starred All Season
Vaughn cannot be blamed for at
tempting to get a substantial in
crease in salary. He was the best
pitcher in the National League last
summer, as the official records show.
Besides. he starred in the worlds
series against the Boston Redsox,
and has developed into quite an at
traction. He commanded more at
tention in 1918 than ever before. Yet
the question arises: "Is he worth as
much as Alexander" That really is
difficult to answer, as Alexander did
not pitch last year and it was i'm
possible to make a reasonable COM
parison. On past records Vaughn
cannot be credited with having the
drawing powers or skill that Alex
ander has.
The records of the two pitchers
since 1914 are:

These records prove that Alexander
has twirled a better brand than the
left handler in recent years. The
formers feat of winning thirty or
more games three years in a row is
regarded as phenomenal. and there
are only two other twirlers who have
ever achieved that distinction. They
are Walter Johnson. and Christy
Mathewson. And it is the belief of
President Mitchell that Alexander
would have surpassed the other two
stars had he remained with the club.
Alexander was in tip top condition
when he was drafted and would un-
doubtedly have made the winning CT
the pennant much easier for the Cubs
had he remained. He lost the cpen-
