former editor of the Louisville Cour-
Ter Journal, an honorary member of
the James Gordon Bennett Associa-
ton. Inc. at the first meeting Of the

person OF its venerable journalist.
This organization has been recently
organized to bring into being the
James Gordon Bennett memorial
home for Journalists.
For over a generation "Marse Hen
ry" has fought for all that was worth
while in the South. In season and
out Of season his voice and pen have
been raised. waging war on detrac-
tors; fighting for our section In
way men love. Always open and
aboveboard, with all the courtesy
and suavity typical Of the South but
giving no quarter and never think
ing of asking for it.
He is the last of the old line who
have made journalism what it is,
Horace Greeley. the elder Bennett,
Dana and Pulitzer--all have gone.
Like modern Nestor. he sadly sur
veys the field where now he reigns
alone. Like Nestor. too he has
steadfastly fought for what he con-
sidered right--and always with clean
weapons.
The entire South will rejoice at
this signal mark Of esteem for their
favorite. 1t is a field where he Will
find ample scope for his talent. No
place more congenial could be found
than this in caring for veterans in
the army of journalism. What though
it is nominally honorary? A man Of

100000 a day for the time it was en-
gagged in the world war.
Q.-Why do some leaves turn yellow
and some red in the fall?--J. D. S.
A.-The colors of the leaves in the
fall depend upon the chemical contents
Of the tree. When the leaves begin to
turn this is a sign that they are re-
matter contained in them. An that
remains in the cell cavities OF the leaf
is a watery substance in which a few
oil globules and crystals and small
number of yellow strongly retroactive
bodies can be seen. This gives the
more sugar in the leaf than readily goes
back into the trunk OF the tree. This
gives the redecplor.
Q.-Is sack merely another name for
bag, or is it a measure Of capacity?
A.--"Sack" has both meanings. It
is often used to indicate a bag, but

as meaure has suffered. .,
