will dazzle every eye and conjure
thoughts of a garden that grandma
tended when a girl.
In the matter of these pansieS there
is something to think about, and a
good many men and their wives, and
those who may become their wives,
give thanks to the department garden
ers. There is something about the lit
tie pansy that takes hold, and keeps
it, on man. 1t has been cultivated
in Europe for about 500 years, and
perhaps longer ago it was grown in
gardens in the east. SO many flowers
trace their ancestry to the orient.
We have had the pansy in the Poto-
mac region ever since settlers began
to plant box bushes, altheas and honey
locusts about their homes or grow
sweet williams and hollyhocks in the
garden. In some way the pansy sug
gests thought, or thoughts. The name
we call it is corrupted from the
French for Thought" Its association
with thoughts was spoken of by
opHelltt, the uHioI tuHdte uiuSHteT VI
PoloniuS, on whom Hamlet harDed
more than 800 years ago. She said:
There's rosemary, that's for remem-
brance: pray you, love, remember, and
there is pansies, that's for thoughts.
That's fennel for you, and columbines;
there's rue for you. and here's some
for me-we call it herb of grace o.
Sundays. You may wear your rue
with difference. There's a daisy. 1
would give you some violets, but they
withered all, when my father died.
Well. good many persons will go
down to the grounds of the Depart
ment of Agriculture to call upon the
pansies.

Pansies.

The Department Of Agriculture con-
tributes a pansy show to the charms
Of spring in Washington. A news
story says that Just few steps
from the thick Of Washington traffic
is bower of restful beauty that is at
tracing thousands of persons daily"
and that close to the department
buildings there bursts upon the
vision more than an acre of pansies."
The national agriculturists do not
limit their powers to growing corn
and cotton. Neither do they conf1ne
their faculties to potato bugs, plant
lice, moth and weevil. They also go in
for flowers. In the fall they set up a
chrysanthemum show that is peerless.
and when spring peeps above the
south horizon they set forth an
amaryllis exhibition beyond compari-

THE LOST TREE OF AMERICA
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

therefore, is very strong that the
F'ranklinia has been exterminated in
it's native environment
However. as there is dense brush
and timber in that section of Geor-
gia, and much swamp land that is
exceedingly difficult to explore close
ly, it is admittedly possible that a
few rare specimens of the lost tree
may have escaped the eyes of the
searchers On the theory that such
may prove to be the case, the Ma
tional Lumber Manufacturers AsSo-
citation has announced its intention
to finance an exhaustive search of the
Altamaha valley. When the report
of this expedition is received the final
word as to the lost F'ranklinia doubt
less will have been written. If any
of the trees were overlooked in pre-
vious explorations they will be locat-
ed. or the fact will be definitely es-
tabliShed that the FTanklinia will be
known and perpet1ated only through
specimens that have been grown in
parks or gardens.
The tree is not very large, and it
might pass unobserved except in the
bIossoming season, when its beautiful
flowers, which have made it in such
demand by nurserymen. would De
very noticeable. Bartram, in his
writings, gives it a maximum helght
of only twenty-five feet. The larger
of the two Franklinia at Chevy Chase
Circle is now about that high and
about five inches in diameter.
Origin Of the Name.
Why Bartram gave Frank1in's name
to the tree is not known. unless 1T
was because of his great friendship
for the famous Quaker. Most men
who make discoveries analogous to
that of a hitherto unknown tree or
flower, or a specimen of fauna usu-
ally link their own names with the
discoveries. Bartram apparently was
not only a great botanist. but an ex-
ceedingly modest one.
The Franklinia is not the only
American tree or plant that is extinct
or virtually so. The settlement or
the continent has naturally tended to
the determination of plants of certain
habits and limited ranges. and, Jusf
as man and his domestic animals have
waged war on the wild animals OF
America, so some 800 European plants
have followed the white man in his
invas sion of America, and in many IN
stances have done their best to drive
out and eradicate native plants

Mr.. Davis knows full well that the

In this column last week appeared an
ebullition on the great victory that the

Some Democratic friends have written

More Than a College Degree

SAINT We held that they were differ
ent from the rest of humanity be-
cause one of them could write M. d.
after his name, the second LII d. and

regated them from the common mass.

However, as the years went by we
realized that there was no holy oil in
education which could be poured on
the head of a student and make OF
him a high priest. Learning and
knowledge may come from study and
education, but character does not al
ways accompany them. No differ
ence how much a man may know, IL
he has not a character to back it up
not all the degrees in all the uni
versities of the world can raise him
to the dignity of a profession. He
He will be lower than the lowest con-
ception of a mere tradesman. We
found LII. DIS compromising crime,
d. DIS arrogating to themselves the
right of damnation, and M. DIS hold
ing babies in escrow until their bills
were paid, so we put these profess
sional gentlemen aside so far as their
titles were concerned. We no longer
mark them as differing from the rest
of mankind. save as they differ in
character and service.
A new effort to make certain per-
sons differ from others is now being
attempted through legislation. In
one of the states where the initiative
prevails there is pending a proposal
dealing with persons who write for
publication. Any one connected with
newspaper or magazine, who as
sists in the preparation of news or
editorial matter would be affected.
He would have to obtain a license
should publish anything which proved
TO be libelous he would be disbarred
from 'practicing'' journalism for
three years. This measure is being
touted as means of lifting journal
ism to the dignity of a profession. /
newspaper writer's and editors are
scoundrelly free lances.
X y F
If this proposal should become a
law it will be found to be as impo-
tent for the making of a profession
as the various degrees which the in
stitutions of learning confer upon
their students. You cannot make a
profession either by education or by
law. In a democracy there will be.
of course, ambition to succeed beyond
the common mass, and there will be
a grade Of men who are really pur-
suing professions, but education and
the pains and penalties of the law
are not responsible for them. They
are the products of character build
ing.
Slowly. yet inevitably, the knowl
,ct N yKyh tn
follow a profession and to those who
pretend to judge what is a profes-
sion, that neither education nor legis-
lation can separate classes or grades

come through service, through an
honest endeavor to do ones lifework
in the spirit OF personal success for
public welfare.

Hair and Crime.

Hair and Crime.
A lady brought a special thrill
Into this world of care,
Because before she tapped a till
She went and bobbed her hair.
And yet we wonder as they tell
Her story to the throng,
If she could not have robbed as well
II she had worn it long.
But her adventures soothe the mind
In minutes Of distress.
What seemed crime wave we may
find
A hair wave more or less.

The discussion of the bobbed hair
bandit has become so diffuse as t.
leave it in doubt whether the moral to
be drawn from her sad story is Il
warning against banditry or hair
bobbing.
