FIRE WHISTLE GETS STUCK AND PHOENIX
 WANTS ID KNOW WHI

That the great American people, as personified in the population of Phoe- nix, is nervously on the qui vive for an unexpected turn in the course of national and international affairs was made distinctly evident about 10 o'clock last night when the big whistle at the fire station began to blow and kept on blowing longer than usual. It hap pened to be an ordinary fire alarm, but of course everybody could not know that.
 About three seconds after the whistle had stopped, telephones in The Repub- lican office began to sing. They rang practically increasingly for ten min- utes, and after that calls kept coming in at frequent intervals. It seemed everybody remembered the night the armistice was signed, when the whistle announced to the city the coming of peace, and immediately thought there might be another armistice or some thing. In~every case the question was 1 the same-"What was the whistle blowing for?"
 1 The first person to call was a man, and he thought perhaps the treaty of 1 peace had been signed. The second i 1 had had a hunch when he heard the whistle that the Germans had broken ] the armistice. The third caller was a woman, and she was afraid the Italians had started war in the United States or something. So it went, and as soon as one caller was assured of the safety of the nation someone else would cal to be assured that everything was all right. It kept The Republicans staff busy answering the phones and ex- l blaming why the fire whistle blew g little longer than usual. During the first 15 minutes probably 40 calls were received.
 The police department also came 1T for it's share of the telephone calls, anC the night desk man had nothing elst
 to do for some time but answer tn, telephone. After the calls had subsid. ed enough to permit of thinking, tht
 department officially requested tha

. Greater New York, in spite Of its
for the State this summer in chill
dren's gardens, II the plans Of the
Bureau of Education in Washington,
working in cooperation with local
school authorities, are carried out.
The bureau has asked for $4,000 city
enlistments in its United States
School Garden Army, which was Or
ganized year ago. and it seems likely
to obtain them. v. E Fitzpatrick, gar
cen director for the public schools, is
calling for $4,000 of the number, who
will work in either home or school
gardens. The Department Of Parks is
enlisting $500 garden soldiers in its
children's gardens, and the Betsy Head
gardens in Brooklyn reported last
week the organization Of a battalion
OF $50. Several thousand recruits are
also expected from the parochial
schools, Rev. Joseph V. S. McClancey,
superintendent Of the schools IN the
Brooklyn diocese, having taken a spe-
cial interest in the work. The Gov
eminent is sending to each child who
enlists service flag and an emblem
pin. Because Of the social and eco
nomic problems of the year the Bureau
of Education, through its state direc-
tor. Is urging that the children be
given this healthful opportunity to
make their contribution to the family
food supply. Practical aid is being
furnished to teachers in the form of
new garden manuals.

WHAT ARE DAFFODILS7
BY GEORGE HENRY FOX. NJ. ID.

Now that the daffodil season Is over
the question that arises annually
What are daffodils?" may be dis
cussed and possibly settled. Among
those who take pride in their flower
gardens and others who, without gar
dens, take pleasure in spring flowers
not to speak of commercial florists
there exists a remarkable confusion OF
ideas as to what is meant by the terms
"narcissus" and "daffodil." Ask any
of your flower loving friends as to the
meaning of these words and you will
be surprised to find how few will agree
as to the correct answer.
Narcissus. a genus of Dubious plants
of the family amaryllidacee, Is the bo-
tanicai term applied to certain spring
Towering bulbs which furnish the yell
low or white and yellow flowers on
long leafiess stalks with which all are
more or less familiar. Daffodil is the
common name which may be applied
TO all narcissi. although many limit Its
use 10 some certain species or variety
The name is derived from another
plant whose pale blossoms. according
to Grecian mythology. covered the
meadows Of Hades afodel-
daffodil).
Originally the term daffodil or daffy
! down-dilly may have been applied II
England to some particular species
| but now the name is generally useC
as a synonym for narcissus and in
cludes all species. In like manner tn
name butterfly was originally applied
to the bright yellow winged insect
/ which we often see lowering over
pool of water on a country road. Man.
people regarded this insect as kin,
of fly and from its yellow color 1t wa
called the butterfly. Later the nam
was applied to all the scale winged in
sccts Except moths), although thei
