NEW ORLEANS-Here's good
news for those who incline to the
sentimental. Bleeding heart sham
rocks may soon be available in other
places than st. Roch's cemetery,
where they have attracted hundreds
of thousands of sightseers there,
anxious to view the strange floral
phenomenon.
The bleeding heart shamrock has
a histoy. All New Orleans believes
the legend about how, many uany
years ago. death parted a betrothed
couple and how the grief-stricken
swain killed himself upon the grave
of his sweetheart. His blood stained
the three-leafed clover that grew
there and the next year the clover
came out with a perfectly formed
heart Of a reddish brown color in
the center of each leaf. From year
to year il has continued to spread
and so far as known it grows only
in st. Roch's cemetery at Chalmette.
To date it has been impossible to
grow these shamrocks except by
transplanting. But the seed will
soon be on sale If the experts who
have set about to accomplish the
feat can establish a cross with h
ordinary clover which will retain the
red heart in the center. 1t is hoped
to have the seed on sale by the first
of the year, so that the shamrocks
may be hale and hearty by March II
Trouble is brewing along the
banks of Bayou Katherine, adjacent
to New Orleans. Napoleon Hebert
Is angered at his "Cagan" neighbor,
Pierre Bourbon. because of the lat
ter's pet alligators.
A few days ago they broke under
the fence and strolled over to h
Hebert marsh where Napoleon was
training a couple of spaniels for n
coming duck season. When n
gators tried to return they We're so
full they couldn't get under h
fence. So they curled up and went
to sleep on the Hebert property.
Later 1t was discovered Heberts
dogs and two of his best sows were
missing. While the amphibians
were snoozing, Napoleon threw a
chain about their necks, attached 1t
to the family livver and dragged
them to his born. He demands $40
for his dogs and sows and until
money is forthcoming he will keep
the alligators.

Q. Who was the first President
who was a citizen of the United
States by birth ?-U. o. Y.
A. President Tyler was the first

nically first American President was
a member of the Confederate Con-
gress at the time of his death.
Q. Is it true that more laborers
left the United States last year than
were received here as immigrants?
20. n.

States while 100,0 5S laborers left the
United States.
q. Is Mexico engaged in any re-
clamatioH project Pc. M.
A. According to j. w. Kelly, in
the Great Yaqui Valley there is a
SIS, 900, 900 irrigation project under

rez, the government is constructing
"a million dollar customhouse n

the following sources: stock market
dealing, investments in the Ham
burg-American S. S. Line, and Ger
man Electric Company; personal

II. o. T.
A. Because music of this type was
originally given in the Oratorio (Ora-
tory) of the church, rather than in
the body of it. Filippo Neri (1515-
95) used to conduct religious SER
vices in which were portrayed Scrip
tural subjects in musical plays. These
were services apart from the reg
ular religious meetings and were
held in the oratory.

BLOOD PURIFIERS

Organic diseases charts compiled
in the last five years show deaths
ercm some form of heart disease
increasing very rapidly.
Incorporate habits in our mode of
living and eating. as we'll as our
seeming inability to adapt ourselves
20 our swiftly moving American CIV
ilization are the causes.
Marked inroads are being made
also by the so-called blood diseases,
or those that affect the blood vessels
and the normal blood supply.
Blood disease is a recognized med
ical question of some significance, as
Is the study of it's causes and effects.
Are there medicines which are
blood purifiers?
So much blood purifier" has been
taken during the past so years that
one naturally would expect a great
decrease, instead of an increase, in
blood disease.
Properly speaking. there are no
blood purifiers. The taking of bone
set, wintergreen and pine buds may
be all right for punishment or bitter
taste, but not for publication OF
your blood.
Compounds, tonics, bitters and ex-
tracts, when they contain about so
or 40 per cent of alcohol or some
other alcoholic stimulant. make the
blood trip a little faster all right, but
they do not purify 1t.
Right living. good plain common
food, less tea and coffee, more milk
and pure water will purify your
blood stream. Combine these with
good fresh air in your living rooms
and plenty Of outdoor deep breath
ing. plus the right kind of exercises
and you will not have to worry
about your depleted blood supply OF
how you are going to purify 1t 81

KING SILVER DETHRONED;
GOLD TAKES IT'S PLACE

which this treasury paid the fixed
price ceased to operate and the price
has gone down to the open market
level.
Silver Producers Worried
American silver producers are
much concerned at this and says that
the government should continue
purchasing at 81 per ounce so that
the silver miners can produce at a
profit. Indeed, the American Min
ing Congress is considering enter
ing a suit at law to compel tho
treasury to continue purchases. Also,
the silver producers are planning to
form a silver export association in
the hope that they can get better
prices by shipping silver abroad.
thereby creating a shortage in the
United States which will have the
result of running up the domestic
price. A conference to consider
these measures met at Reno, Nevada,
on September A.
There is comfort for the silver pro-
ducers, however, in the act that V
eral countries important in none
tary demand have considerably in
creased the active circulation of sill
yer. In China, particularly, the
coinage of silver has increased. III
dia, a country where silver has al
ways been used in preference even
to gold has completely restored sill
yer coinage to circulation and the
demand there is nearly a never end
ing me-. Egypt is increasing its use
and demand or silver and Canada
has been piling up silver as a cur
rency reserve. Even in such Euro
pean countries as Sweden, Switzer-
land and Holland which are tradi-
tional gold standard nations, the use
of silver for coinage is on the in
crease. Also Great Britain's use OF
silver coinage shows an increase, so
it is not to be expected that silver
Is to be discarded as a monetary
factor.
One big development which would
do more for the silver producers than
probably any other single thing
would be for Germany to adopt the
expedient which has been repeatedly
suggested of establishing a silver re-
serve for her currency. The trou-
BILE with the German mark is that 1t
has little if any metal back of 1t.
Before the war it was secured by
gold, but the German gold is prac-
tically all gone. The reserve back
of the mark is of microscopic pro-
portions. 1t would be possible, in the
opinion of students, for Germany to
/ get together enough silver to start
a new currency with a silver re-
! serve, which would come much
nearer maintaining it's par value than
the present worthless mark.

THE REFEREE
Talk
tBy Albert Apple,

Talk
An English girl, daughter OF the
Earl of Birkenhead, visited America.
She says she was most impressed
by our love of talk" She got the
impression from the many speech
makers she heard and the patience
with which audiences listened to
them.
Rodger Dolan, who is having liver
trouble lately, says this patience is
because so few speeches contain
ideas, being mostly talk, talk, talk
Irepetitions of old stuff. Thought
seems painful, both for broadcasters
and receivers.
This struck us as funny. Cardinal
Faulhaber of Germany visited
America. He writes of his impress
| sions in a Vienna newspaper:
Among German immigrants, the
lBavarians have suffered most from
prohibition, but up to date not one
of them has died from it."
That is too good to spoil by edi-
torial comment.
Creative )
America is developing a new type
of architecture that will win world
wide popularity. 1t will be a mod
ernization of the Gothic, Its chief
characteristic being slenderness of
form and adequate lightness of
structure. So comments Alexander
Finta, the noted Hungarian sculptor
and painter.
The skyscraper is Americas
greatest contribution to architec-
ture. 1t is the product of the archi-
tectural theory that form should
follow function, a theory originated
by Louis II. Sullivan. We are a
practical people, and the practical
creation is artistic because it is
natural.
Offspring
John Brubacher came to America
from Switzerland in the year 1710.
The other day 1900 of his descend
ants held a reunion to honor his
memory. If all the people of 1910
had that many descendants the
earth's population would be 1900
times as many as it was 213 years
lago.
Old-time economists had a theory
that if nature didn't kill so many
of us by wars, famine, pestilence
and the like population would mul.
tiply beyond the earth's ability tc
support it. The World War and
such catastrophes as the recent
earthquake in Japan seem to be par

Up in the Hudson Bay country, the wild geese are flying

Artist Satterfeld, in the accompanying pen-picture, shows
Won how the wild geese travel-in a Y formation with one
side of the V shorter than the other, like a broken wishbone.
Observe that the geese follow a leader. Shoot that leader
