Almlnq at a Star.

There are tricks to all trades, as has
been observed so often, and no one
realizes it any better than the parents
of adolescent children. One afternoon
after school Gladys came rushing into
the house calling: Mamma Nam

fHere l am, upstairs in the sewing
room," mamma answered.
Gladys stormed up the stairs and
into the sewing room.
"oh, mamma" she began breathless-
ly. Mamma, can / get married and
have a husband and lot OF children
and everythingF"
"why, my child" gasped her mother.
"What can you be thinking Of to ask
such a question:"
Gladys stood a moment In downcast
silence Then:

Second Sight.


This cOmedy-or tragedy, what you
will-has just occurred In a London
club. An old and highly popular mem
ber had for the past twenty years
been almost totally blind. Although
he had laughed and drank with his
fellow members, all that time he had
never really seen them. A little time
ago a wonderful eye doctor took him
in hand and decided to operate. The
operation was amazingly successful.
The sight completely returned, and
the whole club decided to give the old
gentleman a dinner to celebrate the
event. The great day arrived and the
"boys" we're assembled "at 7:15 for
Z :30' In the smoking room en- masse.
The guest Of honor entered, saw his
boon companions for the first time,
murmured "Good Cd" and stag
gered out OF the door and Into a taxi.
He hasn't been seen In the club since.

HOPE TO FIND WAR CHARIOT
Excavators Look for Interesting Dis
covery in the Ruins Of Ancient
Palestine City.

II was at Bethshan, In central Pales-
tine, that Joshua was checked while
leading the Chosen People into the
Promised Land, because the warllke
inhabitants possessed many iron char
iots--the tanks of those days-while
the Israelltes had none. Excavators
hope to find one of these chariots
among the ruins Of Bethshan.
1t was to the wicked temple Of Ash
taroth, In Bethshan, that the Philis-
tines brought the headless body OF
Saul, the first king Of Israel, who took
his own life on Gilboa close by. They
further outraged the feelings Of Is
raels people by placing Saul's body
on the city walls. The body, however,
was rescued by the valiant, men of
Jabesh- -Gllead, and buried under tree
at Jabesh, on the other side of the
Jordan.
Bethshan was finally conquered by
King Solomon, and in the place of the
pagan temples of Baal and Ashtarotl
Jewish synagogues were erected. Be
fore this date Bethshnn was held by
the Egyptians, who adorned II witt
painted temples and palaces In Egyp

Extensive Root System.
The root system OF the common bar
berry is extensive. The roots Of bush
four or Ave feet tall may penetrate
the soil to depth of three to five
feet and spread laterally an equal

spread is considerably greater. The
root system of the plant varies some

chiefly confined to the humus layer,
but extend laterally considerable dis

Of soil which is fairly uniform at its
various levels the root system Is
more deep-rooted, and frequently less
extensive In It's lateral spread. A
rather constant character of the bar
berry root system, however, is the
occurrence of at least few relative
ly superficial lateral roots running q
few inches beneath the soil surface
This holds true even in those bushes
which have deeply penetrating roots
II is chiefly from such laterals that
sprouts originate following digging

side considerably after drainage and
tend to disturb the grade or slope Of

been drained for a year or so they be-
come compact enough to permit the
