I. Does our evening primrose
bloom by day or night?
The primrose is so abundant In
England as to be almost n weed. 1t
comes early and is very pretty.
Our familiar primrose is the eve-
hing primrose rank, tall weed
that blooms with the mullen In late
summer. Its small. yellow, slightly
fragrant blossoms open only at
night, but remain open during the
next day.
III. To what myth does the little
peeping frog. Hylas. owe its nameY
There Is the story Of Hylas whs
went to the spring to fetch water for
supper for Hercules and staunch
lebanon, and was seized by the
enamoured nymphs and drawn in.
As Hercules was tramping thru the
bog, club in hand. and shouting
"Hylasl" to the full depth Of his
throat. he heard thin voice come
from the water. it was Hylas re-
spending, and Hylas, in the shape OF
the little frog, has been calling from
our marsh springs ever since.

deliberately wheels about in that

unworthy opponent. rising to heights
where the braggart IL dazed and be-

peter Rabbit, what are the chief
differences between Striped Chipmunk
and his cousins, the Tree Squirrels?"
asked Old Mother Nature.
Peter looked very hard at Striped
Chipmunk, quite as if he had never
really seen him before He is smaller
than the Others" began Peter. In
fact, he is the smallest Squirrel
know" Peter paused.
Old Mother Nature nodded encour-
agingly. "Go on said she.
"He wears a striped coat, while the
others wear plain coats continued
Peter The stripes are black and yell
lowish white and run along his sides
and back, black stripe running right
down the middle of his back. The rest
of his coat is reddish brown above
and light underneath. His tail is rath-
er thin and fiat. l never see him in
the trees, so l guess he can't climb" >"
81 can too" declared Striped Chip
munk. Il can climb if l want to, and
l do sometimes. But I like the ground
best"
Go on, Peter" said Old Mother
Nature.
He seems to be very fond of old
stone walls and rock piles, more so
than his COUSINS continued Peter,
land he is the liveliest, merriest and
most lovable of all my friends.
Thank you, Peter" said Striped
Chipmunk softly.

( | should say the chief difference be-
tween him and his cousins. the Tree
Squirrels. is that he spends all his
time on the ground or close to il while
they spend great deal of time in the
trees"
Very good, Peter" said Old Mother
Nature. But there are two very inn
portant differences you have not men
toned. One of these is the big pocket
on the inside Of each cheek, which is
one of Striped Chipmunk's secrets

rels have no pockets al all"
"Of course," cried Peter. 81 dont

nuts or seeds until his head looked
three times as big as it does now
Those pockets must be very handy

Green Estate
Must Pay n. Y.
Million Tax
Appellate Division, Revers-
ing Former Surrogate,
Holds "a Millions In
vested Here Is Taxable
Appeal Was Third Made
Decision to- Affect Other
Cases Pending, Including
That of Baron Astor

Reversing decision by Robert Lud-
low Fowler, former surrogate, the APP
pellate Division handed down an opin-
ion yesterday that Mrs. Hetty Green
had at least S38,00O,00O of her $780,
100000 estate invested in New York,
Of which S24 ,o06,951 is subject 70 q
transfer tax in this state, besides an
securities.
Former Surrogate Fowler held that
Mrs. Green was not personally engaged
in business in New York State, despite
her large holdings Of securities and
cash in bank. Her legal residence was
declared to be Vermont, where there is
no inheritance tax.
Justice Merrell, writing the unani-
nous opinion of the Appellate Divi-
sion. said Mrs. Green operated here
through two corporations, the Westmin-
ster company and the Windham com
pany. She made a speciality of lending
money. It is believed the estate will
have to pay to the state more thar
81 900 600.
Justice Merrell said the appeal just
determined was the third made to the
Appellate Division from orders made
by former Surrogate Fowler IN the mat
ter of transfer taxes upon the estate
of Mrs. Green. The justice also re
viewed the business of the woman
financier in the last two years O
her life, and quoted Colonel Edward
II. Green, her son, as saying: "Mothe'
was nothing but business, business
business"
If the estate decides to petition th'
Court of Appeals, it will be necessar,
to obtain permission, as the decision
of the Appellate Division was unani
nous.
Eugene NJ Travis, State Comptroller
said the Appellate decision Will hav
a widespread effect on other estate
awaiting decision including that o
Baron Astor, whose residence was il
England. Comptroller Travis said sine
the first decision on the Green estate
four years ago, the State of New Yor
had lost approximately S4o,000,000 i.
taxes, from the estates of James !
Hill, Henry c. Frick, William Hark
ness and others.

After many months of discussion the
city accepted yesterday the gift of a
million dollar stadium, playground and
athletic field from Mrs. Isaac L. Rice

der consideration by the Board of Es-
innate since early last winter.
General George W Wngate, repre-
senting the Public Schools Athletic
League, who appeared at the meeting

proposition, said that it had been
harder to present a million dollars to
the city than he ever supposed it
would be to get million out of it.

the Board Of Estimate rendered vote
of thanks to her and her family, and
Mayor Hylan appointed Comptroller
