ANCESTOR OF GARDEN GREENS
Sea Cabbage a Weed That Grows
Wild Near Dover and Some
times Is Eaten.

If you are walking on the chalk
cliffs near Dover you may notice
tall weed with pale yellow flowers
which begins to bloom in May and con-
tinues to do so right through the sum-
mer. 1t grows about two feet high
and has leaves Of a deep green tinged
with yellow and purple.
This homely looking plant is the
sea cabbage, and Is actually the ances-
tor of all our garden greens, cabbages.
caullfower, broccoli and the various
kales. 1t is, or was, very common on
the Dover cliffs and is sometimes col
lected and the leaves stripped off and
boiled.
Many Of the vegetables we cultivate
In our gardens come from the coast,
where their ancestors still grow wild,
says London Tit-Bits. The sea beet
grows in many places ON the shore,
and has green blossoms and thick,
wavy leaves. But the thick, red,
fleshy root has been obtained only by
centuries Of cultivation.
sea kaIe Is purely q maritime plant,
and this Is proved by the fact that a
little salt-not too much-is an excel
lent fertilizer for the cultivated va
riety.
Celery grows wild on marshy ground
on the shores OF saltwater estuaries
and asparagus is a native Of similar
land. Both these, when grown In gar
dens, can be stimulated with little
salt.
The sea pea Is not common plant.
but may be found In places growing
on sunny banks little above high
tide mark. 1t has butterfly shaped
blooms and It's pods contain peas
which, II small, are quite pleasant to
the taste.

At present In New Zealand less than
one-half of l per cent of the popula-
tlon consists of aliens according to a
recent report to the Department OF
Commerce from Vice Consul John e.
Moran, Wellington. OF the $40
aliens, more than four-nfths remained
in North island, where climatic condl-
lions were more to their liking. The
majority of the Syrians, eentered in
Dunedin, are merchants and manufac-
turers OF clothing, while the Indians
follow no particular occupation. OF
the 3.270 Chinese registered, q per
cent are merchants, 80 per cent market
gardeners and II per cent launderers.
The aim of the New Zealand govern
ment is to enforce the immigration re-
striction act and prevent as far as
possible an undue increase over the
present percentage of any aliens.

WOMEN STILL DoWNTRODDEN
Management Won't Let the Oppressed
Creatures Even Smoke In This
Office Building.

Poor woman! She gained the right
to vote, to smoke, to go to boxing
matches, to participate In athletics, to
enter business-in fact, she's on a par
with man In every field of activity,
says the New York Sun and Globe
And not on an equal footing with
man, but surprising him In many
things, she insists.
But, alasl In one instance at least
she Is doomed to defeat. The scene
is a downtown office, where smoking
Is prohibited. Yes stree, not even
the manager can use his favorite
weed while sitting at his desk, but
must join the office boy and lowly
salesman out In the corridor when he
desires to smoke.
Not so for milady, who has just as
much work and responsibility as at
least half Of the office force. She
likes drag" occasionally, too. but
where can she have It? The rule
denies her the privilege Of deriving
inspiration from the weed while she
types, and only the men occupy the
hallway and In the lOunging room the
matrOn absolutely refuses the girls the
right to smoke. Poor girl, what good
do women'S rights do her?

LETTERS THAT WRECK LIVES
How Pests Of the Pen Are Tracked
by Various Methods and Some
times Caught.

More anonymous letters are being
written today than ever before. This
is the alarming verdict of well-known
handwriting and forgery expert.
Seventy per cent of the writers go
undiscoy cred. the remaining 30 per
cent being traced by various methods,
says London Tit-Bits.
The investigator ascertains, In the
first place, whether the recipient Of
the letter suspects any particular per
son. If he does, the inquiry natural
ly is confined to one direction, steps
being taken to secure an example OF
the suspected persons handwriting.
With this to guide him, the investi-
gator compares the handwriting in the
example with that in the anonymous
letter
He uses the microscope to enable
him to detect minute simllarities and
differences, and the camera to record
and enlarge these details.
Usually the anonymous letter Is
photographed and enlarged bodily,
each individual character in the en-
largement being cut out afterward
and pasted in a reference album.
All the AS are pasted In one row.
all the B's in another and so on. This
makes the work OF comparing the let
tiers considerably easier.
Frequently it happens that the
writer Of the anonymous letter Is
given away by a trifling detail. An
increased ct" repeated three times in
the same letter suffced to convict one
of these criminals, while joins in the
middle of strokes have often led to
their downfall.

On the Great Divide.

The Great Divide is high ridge
of land in the United States where
occurs the parting of the waters which
flow to the Atlantic and the Pacific
oceans. The name. "The Great Dl-
vide" is now commonly applied to a
greater extent Of country than the
continental Divide" or watershed
proper, says the Detroit News.
1t comprises that region in Montana
and Wyoming wherein so many of the
large rivers of the United States have
their source and which possesses with
In itself all the characteristics of a
continent. The arrangement of the
elevated land masses In relation to the
valleys and plateaus Is continental Its
waters flow to the Gulf, the Atlantic
and the Pacific oceans and streams
rise on its eastern borderland whose
waters flow to the Arctic ocean. 1t is

HERE'S USEFUL GAS LIGHTER
Rod Tipped with Iron Alloy That
Emits Sparks When 1t Is
Rubbed. 4

An eminent scientist discovered
some years ago that certain iron
alloy ON being lightly rubbed with a
file, would emit intensive sparks that
instantly ignite gas.
The practical application Of this
discovery consists of metal rod hold
ing on its top a little piece Of this
alloy. On the lower END of the rod
Is button which on being pressed,
rubs the alloy against rough sur
face, and the spark Is emitted. Up
right and inverted lamps may thus be
ignited.
Another very useful application of
this principle is seen in a stove
lighter. The alloy is fastened on the
end of the lower leg which, on being
pressed upward, rubs against YER
teal roughened surface. In releasing
the hand pressure the lower leg jumps
back to Its original position by means
of the Springllke action of the rod,
thus causing the alley to spark vIo-
lently.
1t is even possible to light gas
lamps at the top of masts, merely by
turning the cock, a slight gas pres
sure starting a mechanism to light it.
The alloy itself is practically indie
structible and very cheap.

The People Are To RIan.

Responsibility for high taxes was
placed squarely upon the people by
a writer in a current publication.
This is fact that has long been
recognized by students of taxation.
but one which too many taxpayers
are not willing to admit.
The great trouble with SO many
who pay the taxes is that they re-
gard them as a penalty. They take
the attitude that they are being pen
allied for living
Anyone who has ever made even
the most superficial study Of the
question knows that the TAXPAYER
himself can control the situation if
he will join forces with Others Of
like opinion.
After all, taxes are the cheapest
thing on the market in this day Of
high prices. In most communities
approximately three-fourth If the
money expended from the public
Golfers is for roads and schools.
It's about time that the people who
do most of the complaining should
take stock of what they are receiving
in return for the taxes they pay.
We wonder if the average man
can send his son or daughter to
college for one-tenth Of what be pays
in taxes for the support Of the
schools in the taxing unit where he
lives. How many had ever stopped
to think of this?
We wonder if Mr.. Average Citizen
could go out and build himself a
system of roads such as we have TO-
day for joy-riding and business, with
the money he pays for new roads
and for the maintenance Of the old
ones.
True there may be cases of incom-
potency IN office and unwise eXpen-
diture OF public funds, but in the
long run, taxes are about what the
taxpayers make them.-Ex.

OVERSHADOWING in import
ance the decision of President
Coolidge to sell war munitions to the
Mexican Government and the

the controversy raging in official
circles as to which is the better

THE WOOD FAMILY is very

Congress, as usual, wants to

is ex' cted within the next six weeks,
will be close, although there had
been confident predictions until

large majorities in both houses for
the bill despite the plain threat of
presidential veto. Secretary Mel
Ions plan for tax reduction and the
desire on the part of Republican
leaders not to embarrass the
