NEW YORK. March. Thoughts
while strolling around New York:
Evening church bells. The hour for
self committeeman a city rushes
madly to its pleasures. A tattoo
parlor with an electric sign. Maidens
symbolic of Arcadian innocence.
Sleek. outre cosmopolites. Stragglers
with the furtiveness that comes at
night.
Dead white sheets in a Thousand
cinema palaces begin to mirror the
gamut of thrills. And out in Holly
wood the heroes and heroines are
riding hard in the hills. With the
sheriff in close pursuit. Hope they
don't find Jackie Coogan has a past.
Italian bake shops. Cakes with
fondant frostinG. carved and colored
like polychrome plaster ornaments.
Caruso used to make a meal of them.
Cleaning white skyscrapers etched
against the opalescent sky. And the
windows popping with light like a
huge set piece of fireworks.
Evelyn -Nesbit's tearoom deserted.
A Persian cat sleeps In the window.
Z horse-drawn prairie schooner-ad-
yertising something or other. Eddie
Rickenbacker. the speed demon But
he can't cross a New York street in
hurry. Recruiting station in front
of a. dance hall. Jobless reclining on
subway stairs to keep warm.
Ben Ali Haggin. A dilettante in
with care-lined faces. Not a sign
of rain and yet that fellow carries
raincoat and umbrella. Bet he
makes his own salad dressing. Or
maybe he's the weather torecaster
who has just predicted fair weather.
Gaunt Old men mounting the
library steps. Suburbanites hurrying
to the $40. I'd like to be spinning
yarns by the swinging cabin light
say in the Mediterranean. Instead
I'll mount a high stool in this quick
lunch and have a cut OF cherry pie.

Cotton Tail Rabbits Wanted.

Mr.. Editor Reports from numerous coun.
ties of the State are to the effect that
rabbits have been very scarce in the covers
during the hunting season of 1922. To
relieve this condition this Department will
pay 81 for each live cotton tail rabbit
trapped prior to January LIST. 1928, and
delivered to the District Deputy Game War
den of the county in which they are caught.
To secure ST for each cotton tail rabbit.
the person trapping same must either de-
liver to the District Deputy Game Warden
of the county or notify him that he has
cotton tail rabbits in his possession and
the warden will call there. release same in
sections where they are scarce. and notify
this Department how many rabbits said
person delivered to him. at which time we
will forward a check to cover.
We believe the scarcity of rabbits is due
which occurs in all the States of the Union
at intervals of from 6 to years. The
Department has contract placed for 5000
cotton tail rabbits TO be delivered in the
spring of 1928, which will be liberated
in the covers of the counties Of this State
and with the infusion Of new blood our
stock of rabbits should increase and afford
the sportsmen excellent hunting during the
hunting season of 1928.

cation of this article, we are,
Yours very truly,

TOBACCO UNDER ODD NAMES
When Herb Was New II Had Various
Applications, as Also Did the
Potato.

Among its thousands of Illustrations
on wood In work on the General
History Of Plants, Gathered by John
Gerarde, Master in Chlrurgerie," and
first printed in London toward the end
of the Sixteenth century, was one of
the then still new herbs, "tabaco, or
henbane of Peru" according to the
text. THE people of America call 1t
Petun; some. as Loebel and Pena, have
given 1t these Latin names. Sacra
Herba, Sancta Herba, Soma Sancta In
forum; and others, us Dododaeus, call
1t Hyoscyamus Peruvianus, or Henbane
of Peru; Nicolaus Monardus names II
Tabacum. OF some it is called Nico-
tlana,"
There was an illustration of another
plant, also then still new-the potato,
"by some called Skyrrets OF Peru, gen.
orally by us called Potatus. Clusius
called 1t Battata, Camotes, Amotes
and Ignames; in English, potatoes, po-
tatus and potades. The Indians DO
call this plant pappus." The potatus,
the book Informed the reader, was to
be eaten toasted in the embers and
sopped in wine" 1t was also made
into conserves mo Jesse toQthsome,
wholesome and daintie than the flesh
of ounces" Its use, however, In Bur
gundy-"where they call them indian
artichokes"-was forbidden, according
to Bauhine, because 1t induced lep-
rosy. The sweet potato and the COM
mon potato were pictured as belonging
to the same family.
