WORK MADE AUTHOR FAMOUS
Humphrey Marshall Will Long Be
Remembered as Writer of the
First American Botany.

Humphrey Nj shall, author of the
first American Botany, was a distin-
guished pioneer horticulturist. He
was cousin of John Bartram, and
his own garden at Marshalltown, Pa,
was almost as famous as the we'll
known Bartram's garden at Kingses-
sing.
In 1870 Humphrey Marshall began
to prepare an account of the forest
trees and shrubs of this country.
which was completed and printed at
the end of 1856. It's full title was
'Arbustum Americanum the Ameri-
can Grove, or an Alphabetical Cata-
logue of the Trees and Shrubs, Ma
tives of the American United States"
1t was considered a useful and highly
creditable work for the times. Mar
shall was the author also of the I'm
PRODUCTION to the knowledge and
Practice of Gardening" which was the
second horticultural work printed in
America. 1t appeared in 1899.
The old stone house wherein Mar
shall lived and wrote his famous books
still stands in the midst of the trees
and shrubs that he planted 1t is in
an excellent state of preservation, and
is most interesting with its quaint
cupbOards, closets. and hooks. A
microscope of antique form presented
to the botanist by DR.. John Fothergili
is now in the possession of some Of
his descendants.

GEMS MADE IN LABORATORIES

Whlie only an expert can determine
whether some gems are genuine. there
are certain simple methods by which
in most cases ''the genuine article"
may be detected at home.
Color is usually considered the first
great criterion of ali precious stones.
1t is now generally conceded, however,
that color alone is not criterion by
which stones may be judged; other
physical properties must be taken into
consideration by the jewel expert.
The structure of the stone is a
more certain test. The optical prop

most certain test-What are known as

Carl Van Vechten in '"The Tiger in

associated the cat with music, util-
fzing the graceful head and figure of
the beloved animal in the decoration
of the sistra. The sistrum consisted
of frame of bronze or brass, into
which three or four metal bars were
loosely inserted, so as TO produce a
jingling noise when the instrument
was shaken. Occasionally few metal
rings were strung on the bars to in
crease the sound and very often the
top of the frame was ornamented with

FRENCH MAKE GREAT MOTORS
Four-Passenger Cars Run 35 to 20
Miles to Gallon of Gasoline
Average Ten Horsepower.

Paris.-"Gas gObblers" are what
American automobiles are called in
France. With gasoline at 70 cents q
gallon, no machine running less than
30 miles on a gallon has much chance
Of selling in this country nowadays.
This, of course, excerpts the rolling
boudoirs of the newly rich, lbut even
the makers of these super cars are
trying to break into the ten-horsepow-
er market.
The public will not look at anything
over ten horsepower, but as there is
no settled form Of measurement here,
everything from seven to twelve horse
power is called ten by the makers.
The competition for economy of OPP
GRAFTON has resulted in the evolution
Of some maryelously efficient engines,

These cars have a speed up to 40
miles an hour, which is as fast as the
present state of the French roads per-

can machine running from 20 to %
miles per gallon, despite Its low price,
Is finding it difficult to compete with

DEATH or LITTLE
SARA LOU DELASHMIDT

On December Is, 1920, as the shades
Of evening were softening into the
golden rays of sunlight God sent a
BIT Of humanity into the home Of Mr.
and Mrs. Russell DeLashmidt, and
5his wee messenger of love, happiness
and purity was named Sara Lou De-
Lashmidt, But God only sent her to
stay for short while. She came into
their lives for visit of Is months,
and oh such Joy as she brought!
In the beginning she drew us to her
each day with her babyish cooling
and faint smiles. Then, as she grew
older she learned to toddle around and
sing to her doll. Then, as she grew
still older she learned to talk about
things which were dearest to her, and
constantly her merry prattle of
laughter and song filled the home
with sweet music. Little did we think
that so soon we were to be deprived
Of all this happiness. But God in His
wisdom had need Of another angel in
His band and He chose our darling
Sara Lou So on June IA, 1922, again
as the shades OF night were softening
into the golden rays of sunlight her
angel soul quietly took it's leave from
he sick and suffering body and re-
turned unto Him who sent her.
Everything was done to keep her
that mortal hands could do and many
prayers we're prayed but our Father
made US understand that this treasure
could not remain.
How empty is the home! How
vacant and melancholy! But as our
minds drift heavenward we can see
her in the arms of the Savior smil-
ingly calling and reckoning us to
come, and so often did she say, in
speaking Of things at distance,
SWAY down FOUNDER and now me-
thinks she looks from the heavenly
throne and says, "Way down yonder
are mother and daddy" How glorious
is the hope that some day we shall be
reunited.
She came to teach us a divine les
son of Goodness and love and when
it was well taught her work was COM
plete. Now she goes before us to
lead us. If we would stray from the
paths Of righteousness, memory re-
minds US of the dear one who awaits
our coming.
Little Sara has gone to rest.
To reign with God, forever blest.
Her little tongue will always praise
The Savior's love and redeeming
grace.
Far from this world of sin and strife,
She now enjoys a heavenly life.
She joins to praise and shout and
sing,
And makes the heavenly arches ring.
Oh. could | see her smiling face;
Delighted with the happy PLACED
Oh, would l wish her back again,
But say. Dear babe, with God re-
main"
Now let us come to Christ, with Him
remain,
And meet our darling child again.
HER AUNTIE.

GUNMEN FLOCK TO GERMANY
Advent of New York Crooks Forces
, Bremerhaven to Add rs Police
men to Protect City.

Berlin.-New York gunner migrat-
I ing from the East side are believed by
the Bremerhaven police to be using
that place as a port of entry into Ger
many and to be largely responsible
for the recent orgy Of lawlessness that
has been graphing some German sea
ports. The situation has become so
serious that the Bremerhayen authori.
ties have added twenty-five policemen
to the force. However, the still in
adequate street lighting in the harbOr
district affords many opportunities Of
attacking unsuspecting seamen who
come ashore at night.
Each week, when some of the larger
ships sailing for New York are churn-
ing the waters of the canal, the pro-
pellers seldom fail to bring one or
more bodies of seamen to the surface.
In many cases it is believed the men
have fallen into the canal while in
toxicated. as there were no signs Of
violence.
The American seamen themselves
are considerably involved in lawbreak-
ing. An outstanding instance recently
was that in early May when Hugh
Reilly Of Chicago, from the steamship
America, committed suicide after
shooting and killing barmaid. A
fortnight later a Scandinavian, Eric
Carlson, from the George Washington,
killed Greek by the name of f;

Of the steamship West Hembrlc.
