Growth Of plants.

Among plants, after the period Of
growth in spring and summer there is
q period Of dormancy before the cold
weather sets in, and If plants are
maintained artificially at high tenn
perature this dormant period persists.
Exposure to cold is needed to activate
the plant for another period Of growth.
Perhaps the liberation Of engines acts
on the stored starches, converting
them into sugars, or the phenomenon
may be due. to change in the per-
meability Of the cell-membrane.
Though normally the stimulus required
for renewal Of growth is supplied
by cold. mechanical injury or a period
Of drying may have the same effect.
The process occurs Independently in
any exposed part Of plant, 80 that
II one or two branches of plant be
kept continually warm while the other
Is subjected to the usual winter chill.
ing, the former will not develop on the
return of summer temperature though
the latter develops as usual.

MADE THEIR WAY TO FAVOR
Words Banned Fifty Ysaes Ago Are
Now BY General Consent Rseoe
mixed 40 Proper.

Most newspapers have an index ex-
purgatorious In which are listed all
the tempting words banned at the
time Of its compilation as to bad
usage, remarks a writer in the Home
Sector. It Is amusing to read one OF
those lists, drawn up for New York
newspaper 30 years ago, long dis
carded list, frowning on such words
O. aspirant, bogus, collided, COM
menced (for begun. employe, endorse
(for approval), humbug, ignore, jeop-
ardize, lengthy, loafer, ovation, post
ed (for informed), predicate. progress
ing, reliable (for trustworthy, row.
dies, taboo, talented and vicinity (for
neighborhoOd). Most Of these are now
quite respectable and would have the
freedom even Of those newspapers
which once spurned them. Thus, as
ever, do the heresies Of today become
the gospel Of tomorrow. Thus does
progress march.
1t happens in language, in econo-
mics, in politics. Tomorrow conserva-
tives will be found stOutly defending
the program which Yesterdays radicals
drew up. Perhaps an appreciation Of
this fact ought to produce philO-
sophie calm, but 1t Is quite as likely to
produce temper And yet it Is absurd
to swear at the conservative man as
It is to denounce the dam in the stream
and the brake on the engine.

TOO MANY HUMAN ISLANDS"
Lack Power Of Expression to comrnu.

You are q human island, II you can
not express your thoughts 80 others

JOcelyn Wattles of the Colorado agri-
cultural college If your mood is one
of appreciation Of grandeur and beau
ty, and you say, 'Gee. amt it gOr-
geOus?" If in gazing at the Grand
canon, you say, "Ain't it cute?" you
are not in communication with your
fellows; you are an island, a man
entirely surrounded by men, but not in
connection with them.
If in speaking to group of SOL
tiers you discuss, "that combination
Of proteins, albumens and other food
substances which scientists have de-
termined is the most conducive to
health and vigor," your connection Is

aim is to be understood.
II you have no adjective but saw

q hat, an accident, the new styles, the
European war, your wires are down.
You cannot express thoughts on all
these subjects to your fellow humans
by use of the one word lawful If
1t is your only adjective, keep quiet;
your silence may indicate an appre-
citation which your one adjective fails
t. express.
Are your wires down? Are you an
island?

bis Fourth Of July celebrating, Osip
SalOnski, 80, Of West Denver lost sew

Q sling. \
Osip stood on the corner, smoking .
cigaret and watching with interest the
youngsters shoot of their explosives.
Suddenly desire to be young, real
young, once more assailed him, and.
stalking up to q nearby booth, he PUP
chased whole fstful of firecrackers.
Stepping to the edge Of the curb, he
cautiously applied the end Of his
lighted cigaret to the fuse of one Of the
crackers. A sputter and volley OF
little sparks announced that the noise
was on the way. Then Osip's mentall-
ty failed to function properly. With
quick movement he slammed his Gig
aret into the street and damned the
end Of the firecracker into his mouth.
A terrific crash, which disengaged
three front teeth and bespeckled his
face with powder burns, brought Osip
to the conclusion that all was not just
as 1t should be. He made a run for
the nearest drug store, and he
emerged a few moments later reeking
with the fumes of iodine and his face
and neck swathed in bandages, and
he looked much like an accident that
had gone somewhere to happen and,
apparently, had been success -

Spread Of Species.

One of the problems that confrOnts
the naturalist is that of accounting fol
the distribution Of identical forms OF
life through widely separated local..
ties. Investigation frequently shows
that this has been accomplished In
many ways that appear quite simple
when once discovered, although one
would hardly have thought of them.
Some interesting facts Cleaned con
corning the dispersion Of fresh-watel
nlnllusks account for their appearance
in remote and isolated ponds. Water
fowl play an important part in this
work. Ducks have been known tt
carry mussels attached to their feet
a hundred miles or more. Bivalvt
mollusks not infreQuently cling to the
toes Of wading birds, and are thus
transported for considerable dis
tanceS.

Will Not Let Women Pay.

X. U. men are hopelessly old-fash-
Toned. The $3.50 idea. that is, that a
girl pay for half the treats, which was
started recently in an eastern univer-
sity. did not appeal to them when it
was discussed the other day.
A woman may work and by her eff
cheney earn as much as man, but If
she pay for one-half the treats she
takes away the divine right of man,
opinion had it.
Pride was not the only thing that in
fuenced them. A man must shoulder
responsibility through life so it is well
for him to start early. The idea of
protection of women extends even to
paying for The sundaes she consumes.
1t was the general opinion that if
girls would realize that the resources
of most men are not unlimited, there
would not be any occasion for thinking
about this matter.-Summer Session

Porcelain Money.
A new element may be introduced
into the field of numismatics by the
proposal to issue porcelain money
throughout Germany. With this pur-
pose in view, Nielsen porcelain fac
tory has already manufactured speci-

% mark pieces. How successful the
new proposal will be remains to be
seen. It's adoption would mark an in
teresting breach with the traditional
use of gold, silver, and bronze; and

supplemented. Apart from the occa-
