y X X !;
The miStletoe, so mysterious in west
ern Europe, has many relatives in the
tropics and two cousins in south France.
The dwarf juniper mistletoe, which lives
on the redberried juniper Of the Medl-
terranean area. is leatless and bears
blue berries. Its full height does not
exceed two inches. The Leranthrus

chestnuts in the same limited region,

and causes extraordinary deforning

Some Of the tropical I1oranthus species

And superstition clings, like IL para =

mlstletoe was supposed to have fur
nlshed the wood for the cross. Up to
the cruclfixion 1t had been a regular
tree, thenceforth it was condemned to
exist only as a parasite--a weak and
.puny bush. growing only by the sap Of
other trees. Hence the refusal to admit
the mistletoe into churches, which con-
tinues today. by ancient habit, at least
In England and France. But the churchs
dread of pagan superstitions, still today
perslsting. gives "a corollary explanation,
as will be seen.
The plain facts of the mistletoe are as
queer as any old belief.
How 1t acquired its parasitic habit no
man can say. but we know that it owes
it's continued existence to the seed
being carried, along with dose Of
sticky liquid. to the tender branches Of
some new tree, where 1t sticks and flows
until it lodges in some crevice of the
young bark.
This seed. on termination. sends root
let's, not into the ground. but into tho
heart Of the silly tree which holds 1t.
traversing the tender bark and sending
numerous suckers into the wood which
suck the sap by which it grows while
robbing the tree and corroding the
limb locally. And. worse, new buds send
creepers which break through by other
rootlets. Where apple trees are badly
infested their owners often seek to clear
them by pulling off the mistletoe. But
the rootlets being left under the bark.
a dozen plants soon appear to take the
place Of the dispossessed.
How do the seeds get from tree to
tree with that thick dose of sticky
liquid? Queer, queer! There is an old
Latin proverb about "the bird which
carrier its own enemy" 1t Is the mistle-
thrush, which is especially fond OF the
luscious white berries. Inclosed in sticky
pulp. some Of the tiny seeds cling to the
birds beak. and as the mistle-thrush is

which they cut all the week, commer-

ing. The boy who first perceives a
tuft OF real oak -mistletoe has the
right to climb and cut it; but. right
here, a "heathen practice" creeps in
periodically--a girl, for real fun,
ought to climb up with him "and
catch the falling mistletoe in a white
towel when he cuts it, The church IS

against it as n fact, and nice girls

The mistletoe is hung above the en-
trance door. AS the girls pass, one by
one, beneath it, as it were running u
gantlet, they are kissed without cer-
cmony, in Il scramble full of dodGlnG
by the first young man who can catch
them.
Now creeps in more pagan recol-
lection. How can these kids remem-
ber 5000 years: Their parents swear
that they have never told word
about burning the mistletoe. The early
fathers hoped to have switched it off
to a feast Of hot chestnuts-chestnuts
rriddle. Then cold cider and more
kissing. Yet, down through the CEN
turtles, the old remembrance pops up
to fetch the hot tile or the hre pan
and make mistletoe ashes for the luck
bag. .,.,, ,.,r,,
ing brayado, the ashes are distributed
TO be preserved in the little bags
hung round the neck. The lncanta-
tions" are forgotten. Also. 1t is COM
mon in~France and, they say, equally
in country regions of England and
Ireland, for such little bags to be
buried in fields to bring good crops.
Devoted wives keep special bags
against their husbands jags. A small
quantity OF ash mixed with his drink
will keep him sober, make him drink
less. or if not less. slower and, in
any case. be quieter in his drinking
and~(they hope) cause him to see blue
spiders earlier In the game while
there is yet time.
Uncounted generations passed the
word along. It's something about
ghosts. This is why mistletoe
bough hangs outside most Breton tav-
erns, to guarantee drinkers against
seeing things" on their way home at
night. or, if they see them. to pass
unharmed by all sorcerers, witches,
devils, ghosts, pink rats, and. yea,
weeping babes that whizz through
the air and clutch YOU by the back or
the neck.
This is why Shakespeare wrote:
"A good wine needs no bush!'
Neither does sarsaparilla.

WILLARD IN CIRCUS STUNTS PERFORMS ID
 BIG GATE RECEIPTS

TOLEDO, June 4.-Jess Willard in-- creased his boxing to four rounds to- day, knocked out a sparring partner, and after the incident, attempted to explain to newspaper experts that the victim slipped. striking his head on the floor of the ring.
 Walter Monahan, who is in Willard's camp on a furlough from the army, boxed with the champion for the first time in several months, and hit the canvas in a dizzy condition after box ing two minutes. Monahan, although out of condition, set furious pace for Willard and Jess shot out left jab and missed. He followed it with a short. straight right punch to the peak of the chin and Monahan tumbled into a heap.
 Jack Hempel, who boxed the first twpsTehnds with Willard; Ray o. Arch CT, business manager of the champion, and others scrambled into the ring, picked Monahan up, bathed his head in water and allowed him to take a long restsbefofe another easy round with the title holder It was a clean knockout 5 despite Willard's oexplana- tions. e0
 Willard opened his workout by pull ing his weights loose. with some pow erful tugs and then boxed four rounds and finished with some shadow boxing and wrestling. He left the canvas en- closed arena with his skin aglow with precipitation.
 Admission was charged to watch the champion go through his paces today. and capacity crowd was in attend ance.
 Jack Dempsey, the challenger, spent another idle day. He came into the city this morning for a rub down at the hands of an expert and in the aft ernoon swan and romped around his camp.
 Willard went out for his first run on the roads this morning, covering about three miles. He plans to in crease his distance tomorrow.

 been revealed by department officials. They have consistently declined to make any comment on developments in the senate. It was assumed, how ever, that the time Of presentation of the treaty either would be or had been referred to in communicating with President Wilson or Secretary Lansing at Paris. Senator Hitchcock had not decided tonight whether he would call up his resolution tomorrow. He may do so during the first two hours of the session, but at the end of that time 1t automatically would be replaced by the Johnson resolution.
 Borah Center of Interest
 Senator Borah's announcement of his intention to put the treaty text into the senate record caused much discussion about the capitol. MT. Borah would not divulge the New York source from which he hopes to get copy and made it plain that he was not certain it would be forthcom. ingS If his request that the copy be sent him is granted, he saidS he may have it ready to offer as soon as the senate meets tomorrow.
 The Idaho senator's project, aside from any diplomatic aspect, may pre- sent novel developments. It was point ed out tonight that unanimous consent is required under the senate rules to insert such documents in the record without reading them on the senate floor, and predictions were general that unanimous consent would not be given. A reading of the treaty which is said to contain about 90,O00 words, would be task of many hours.

 sponsible newspapers of Vienna to be unacceptable.
 Unlike the German populace at large, however, the Austrian people apparently are apathetioe having ex- pected no easy terms and are willing, over anxious, to accept the conditions as laid down and thus bring peace to the sOrely stricken former empire, which is rendered by the treaty vir- tually an inland state of small terri torial proportions. Nevertheless, the general opinion among the Austrians seems to be that the terms are based on might and not on President Will sons 14 points.
 In Paris the council of four con tinues to discuss points brought out by the German counter proposals, es- pecially as concerns territorial ques. tions and feparations. Experts on both these questions have been called before the council for conferences, and the belief apparently prevails in unofficial quarters in Paris that some qualifications may be expected in the original terms of the treaty particu- larly as regards the Sarre basin and Silesia. 1
 Ship Protest Considered
 Discussion of the protest of Ger many that, being left without mer- chant ships, she is rendered impo- tent to resume her trade and thereby unable to aid in paying the indemni- ties asked also has been taken up by the council.
 The expectation is that the council will heed reports of the urgent neces- sity to render a quick decision on the matters in controversy owing to the situation in Germany. One report has it that Herr Noske, the German min. ister of defense, has inspected the
