Blacky the Crow is full of mischief.
1t is his delight to tease others and
to make trouble for them. On the
other hand, il Blacky discovers a
common danger he will at once warn
the very ones he has tormented. He
has long memory, has Blacky. When
he discovered the young Fox lying
on the doorstep of his home in the
Old Pasture his sharp eyes took note
of everything and he shrewdly
guessed that the young Fox was liv-
ing there alone.
So the next day Blacky found time
to fly over to the Old Pasture. AS
before. he discovered the young Fox

Fox was glad to go into his house and
get out of sight. Even then Blacky
continued to scream until the young

to himself. Sooner or later some
one will come to see what that black

Then the secret of my home will be

his home. A home that isn't secret

started out house hunting. "Of

for myself, but I don't believe in

sary. II can find an old house that
isn't occupied it will suit me quite
as well as a new house."
So the young Fte. ..vtted this way
and that way along tie COW paths all
through the Old Pasture. He found
the home where his father and
mother were living and where his
brother and sisters had lived until
they started out in the Great Forest
He merely shifted at the entrance and
then trotted on. In far corner of

Garden Notes
The Planting Of Crocus.
BY MARGARET b. DOWNING.

Those who can recall the lively ap-
pearance of a. front lawn on Con-
necticut avenue now occupied by a
banking establishment, when, in the
earliest days of spring, the ground
was carpeted with circles of orange,
white and purple crocuses and some
of those lovely striped blossoms OF
blue and cream, will have good
incentive to plant crocuses, now that
the time has arrived for such activity.
No planting offers such excellent
opportunity for neighborhood CO.
operation as the buying of these
sprightly little bulbs. Any good
scotsman, here or in any other city,
will sell a very fine variety Of GRO
cuses in mixed colors for $l5 tnou.
good number for the novice to begin
with in this sort of garden venture,
and this will make delightful show
ing long before the other blossoms
are ready to appear. The cost Will
be trifiing IL thus distributed. A hun
dred bulbs Of named varieties usually
cost about 81, the unnamed mixed
sorts about $1.50 a hundred.
Crocuses look we'll in a border, and
they may be planted In the grass
since they die down before 1t is time
for the lawn mower. The best way
to plant them is to take a stake
which is sharpened, like a portion OF
a broom handle, and drive down
about six inches. Then fill this hole
with we'll broken and fertilized soil
to about one and one-half inches from
the top. Place the bulb in, round
side downward, and pack the dirt
well over it.
If the crocus is too near the sur
face and loosely planted it will come
up in the winter sunshine and never
reach perfection in the spring. If 1t
is too deeply planted 1t will have a
hard struggle to get above ground
with it's flower. Planted as directed.
nothing more need be done, except
that the gardener may be. diligent
to water a little If the autumn is
warm and dry.
The bulbs may be planted three or
four inches apart or nearer II space
is limited and vivid effects are de-.
sired.
planted in crocuses spring will be
much more joyous affair for the
passers-by next season than 1t has
been of recent years. Even twenty
Ave bulbs will make q considerable
splotch of color, and II the same
number is added year after year the
effect will be enhanced.
For those who delight in the ear
liest bloom there are lovely shades
of lucillae, which may be placed in
clumps near the crocus. There are
snowdrops which come up when the
winter still holds its grip. and both
these varieties are easy of culture
and may be purchased fox trihins

all related. either through develop
ment from the same source or through
interchangeability resulting from
similar spelling.
In the. old Anglo-Saxon tongue OF
England "thorp" was a village.
From the some word root which gave
the Anglo-Saxons "thorp" the Ger
manic races on the continent. in what
is now Germany. developed the word
"dorff," with the same meaning. the
connection between the two Is not
obvious to the casual eye, but when
you compare corresponding words in
English and German you win be sur
prised how often an English "th" Is
the equivalent of German ID ana
an English 'p" merely has to be re-
placed by u ''pf'' or an "f' or ~"
sound to make the words virtually
identical.
In both English and German this
word for village is more often incor-
porated with the names of specific
towns in the formation of family
names. Instances are "Oglethorp"
and "Ludendorff." but the complete
list of variations in these compounds
could not possibly be covered in
single article.
But without considering the numer-
Gus compounds, the English form of
the family name almost Invariably
takes its origin from some such form
as anton de la Thorp," The German
dorf is generally a shortening of Dorf-
mann or Dorfner. meaning '.villager."
The Irish forms of of Thorpe, Thorp,
Torpy and Tarpy are variations from
"OThorpa," which is derived from
the Irish given name of "Thorp,"
which has a meaning of bulk or
great size"

In Vermont and Georgia, according
to statistics compiled by the law
division of the national women's
party. the earnings of married
woman belong to her husband unless
he makes her a gift of them. In
Georgia. the husband even recovers
for wrongful impairment of his wifes
earning capacity.
In some states. for example,
Florida, the husband still controls
all of his wife's property, even that
acquired in the practice of her pro-
fession. unless she takes specific steps
to deprive him of that right. In
Virginia he is presumed by Jaw to
own her property, which may be
taken for his debts, unless she comes
into court and proves that it Is hers.
In states having the community
property system, such as Nevada,
Texas. Washington, California, etc,
the husband has with limited ex-
ceptions the sole management Of the
community. which consists of practi-
cally all property acquired after mar
riage through the efforts of the wife
as well as the husband.

 Berkeley, Cal, February 4.-EArth- quakes can be predicted just as weather conditions are now predict ed. tho University of California here has announced, as a result of a re- cent discovery by Prof. A C. Law son of the geology department that earth movements are antecedent to, as well as consequences of, earth Quakes.
 By making observations of the creep" of the earth. or tho gradual changes in attitudes, 1t can be told when earthquakes are expected, the university hes announced. To study tho earth's movements. photo graphic latitude telescope is to be installed at Lick Observatory, which Is conducted by the university on Mount Hamilton. near San Jose, Cal
 Earth movements on general scale preceded the big earthquakes of 1858 and 1906. it is believed by the university. The authorities also pointed out that on the occasion of the 1908 earthquake, earth fin the Bolinas region of California moved as much as 24 feet. and that the movement was noticeable over a pig area.
 Professor Lawson's tabulations of meridian circle observations made at the Lick Observatory led to a sus- picion, 1t was announced. that a change in the latitude of Mount Hamilton, of small but appreciable amount. had occurred at or about the time of a severe earthquake of Au- gust 8, 1903, which was local to the Mount Hamilton region.
