 This is undoubtedly not the last time the French academy will be called upon to give an official welcome to an English word which has become current in the French language; for example, the word "home" is becoming a great favorite, and the misuse of the words smoking" and dancing" for smoking jacket" and "dance hall" has become so usual that the English origin of the words is quite forgotten.

NATIONAL FLOWER OF FRANCE
Iris, or Fleur-de-Lis Was Originally Called the Fieur-de- de-Louis-VaIued
 for It's Medicinal Purposes.

The iris, or the fieur-de-lis, is the national flower of France. It was originally called the fieur-deLouis. The ancients valued 1t highly for me dicinal purposes. A powder made from the root, mixed with honey, was used for broken bones, and 1t was also con- sidered beneficial for snake and SCOT pion bites. A valuable perfume and oil was also obtained from the iris.
 The legend as to how the flower re- ceived its name goes back to the Greeks. Iris was the messenger of the gods, and the rainbow was dedi- cated to her. On her birthday, Juno invited all the flowers to celebrate the occasion. They all came in their prettiest frocks. Among them were three sisters, gorgeously dressed in gowns of purple, yellow and red, and who were unknown. Since they had no name, they were called Iris, because their gowns were the color of the rainbow.
 Since Iris was the messenger of the gods, and conducted the souls of dead women to their final resting place, the Greeks decorated the graves of their women with purple iris.
 This flower was widely used in old Egyptian architecture. It signified power and eloquence to the Egyptians, and was, therefore, carved on the brow of the Sphinx. and upon the Scepters of their kings.

Controlling Pecan Caterpillars.

Pecan caterpillars are more
abundant than usual in many

foliated many trees. Although
defoliation at this season is not
as serious as if it had occurred
earlier, it is still serious check

may considerably decrease next

can tree makes little or no growth
from now on, it is active in man.
ufacturing food and forming the
winter buds for next years
growth, says J. R. Watson. ento-
mologist at the Florida Expert
ment Station.
There are two species of cater
pillars now abundant on pecan
trees. The fall webworms are
reddish brown, hairy fellows
which live in a tent of. silk they
spin over the leaves and twigs.
They are often destroyed by
burning. A more convenient
and safer method is to pull the
tents out of the trees by means
OF a hook on long pole. Prac-
tically all the caterpillars will
come with the web and can be
destroyed by trampling under
foot or dipping in a bucket Of
water with a thin layer of kero-
sene on top.
The pecan or walnut defoliator
spins no web. but feeds in colo
MES on the foliage. Advantage
may be taken Of this caterpillar |
peculiar habit of coming down
to the trunk of the tree often
quite near the ground, to mott.
At these times they collect in
large masses or colonies on the
trunk and remain in this position
almost motionless for many
hours. When these groups are
observed the caterpillars are cas-
lily brushed into a pan with a lit
tie kerosene in it.
Both caterpillars enter the
ground when full grown and
in the spring as moths
which lay the eggs from which /
the caterpillars hatch.

Desertion Law is Held Unfair Due {,
Suffrage.

Dallas, Oct. II. Test of the
Texas law against wife desertion
on the grounds that the federal
suffrage amendment makes the
statute discriminatory was
sought here by Oscar Calvert, a
local attorney.
A petition was filed by Mr..
Calvert in a Dallas county court
asking that charges of wife de-
sertion against H. w. Durham
be quashed. He contends that
with woman enjoying equal suf-
frage privilege they should be
no more entitled to protection
against desertion of cruel treat
ment than men. For the same
reason he would abolish alimony
