HOW THE SLOGAN OF
FLOWERS WAS BORN

Boston, Mass. Dec. 15.-The story
of the slogan "Say it With olFwers," +"
the circumstances which prompted its
coinage, how it came into existence,
and its subsequent spread throughout
the county, is told by P. F. O'Keefe,
its originator, head of local adver-
tising agency. Mr.. O'Keefe suggest
ed the slogan to the publicity commit
tee of the Society of American Flor
lists in Cleveland, December, 1917.
at was evident that slogan so
worded as to induce people to usG
flowers more generally-to buy more
fcwers-was needed" says Mr..
O'Keefe, describing the birth of the
slogan, which recently was claimed
by another. "In great mass of quo
tations which I gathered from the
rhapsodic utterances of poets, work
ing under the impetus of spring fever,
I came across this:
"'Flowers are words
Which even a babe may understand" 4"
From Bishop Coxe's "The Singing of
Birds"
There" I said, ais the germ of
slogan. There is language of
flowers. They do speak. Even babe
can understand. Now to work that
into a twentieth century phrase that
conveys the meaning that flowers do
have language
And then and there the slogan "Say
1t With Flowers" was created.

PLANET VENUS
MAY BE PEOPLED

Boston, Dec 15.-The existence of
life on the planet Venus may be con-
sidered highly probable, DR.. Harlow
Shapley, director of the Harvard OBJ
servatory, said in a recent lecture
here. He added that the question of
life on Mars was controversial, but
that its small mass and it's great dis
tance from the sun counted heavily
against the probability of life there.
"Venus," he said, "is comparable to
the earth in many ways and if, as is
likely, living organisms develop
wherever conditions are suitable over
sufficient interval of time, then it
may be considered that life on Venus
is highly probable. On no other
bodies in the solar system, however,
are conditions at all favorable for the
existence of ptotoplasm."
DR.. Shapley said that accepting the
tidal evolution theory of planetary
system, even for stars otherwise fav-
orably located, an encounter of just
the right sort with another star was
necessary for the birth of a planetary
system.
"And once such a family is born"
he continued, "other stars must not
disturb the family, and the stars
light intensity must remain essential
ly uniform for the enormous interval
OF time required for the crustal evo-
luton which must precede animate
origins.
Nevertheless, it appears probable
that among the thousands of millions
of stars there are here and there
planets that conform to the require
ments. Although the animal man is
probably not duplicated in the uni
verse, there are doubtless numerous
other living earths, and the chance
that their life phenomena surpass in
intricacy and 'highness' those on the
earth is as good as the chance that
they fall below our level"
The search for habitable worlds, he
said, was largely a search for condi-
tions suitable for the existence of
water in a liquid form. This, he add
ed, was an absolute necessity for the
development of life such as that on
the earth, and definite chemical con-
stitution for air, land and water also
was necessary. A planets days and
nights, therefore, must not be so long
as to prevent the existence of water
in liquid form.
'FIt seems certain" he said, "that
some water exists on Mars at times
iE a liquid form. The average aston
omical opinion is that low forms of
organisms may exist on Mars, that
high forms are very improbable and
that beings physically comparable
with man are absolutely impossible"
