SUCCULENT CABBAGE
HAS LONG HISTORY
Its Origin Lost in the Mists
of Antiquity.

Should the history of the cabbage
ever be written, it may prove to be
Unexpectedly thrilling. Remarkable
facts concerning that humble vegetable
have been discovered by Prof. Rug
giles Gates, the botanist:
"CabDages kales, caulflowers and
brussels sprouts" says the professor,
"all originated in the wild cabbage, a
! native of the coast and the south of
England. The cabbage as we know it
| was the first development Of the wild
! plant, and fl om it appeared the cauli
flower and the sprout
The origin of the species is lost in
antiquity, but the Romans appear to
have cultivated it. The remarkable
thing is that each type entered moro
or less suddenly into the vegetable
garden.
"a gardener in these ancient days
may have planted a cabbage on GER
tain spot and have Weakened up some
morning to find a caulifloWer or a
stalk of sprouts in its place.
"There was no gradual development.
1t happened spontaneously. In the
case of the cauliflower, there was an
infiOrescence, and the green flower be-
came white, succulent and neshy,
though not to the degree that we
know it today.
THE Sprout was the result of the
cabbage, instead of combining its eff
forts to the attainment of one large
bloom, determining to multiply itself
into a numerous clump of tender
heads.
at is in this way that we now think
evolution has taken place-the pro
duction of new and marked varieties
with fully developed characters.
what causes the transformation?
Interesting developments may result
from the experiments. Why not, for
example, 'caulisprout' from the par
ent cabbage, or perhaps 'carnip'
from the carrot or the turnip?"
"As food the cabbage has a long
and honorable career" says the com

favorite dish of Emperor Pompey was
cabbage. l have no doubt that many
another ruler if he admitted the truth,
would confess a yearning for corned
beef and cabbage. 1t must be terrible
to live on ambrosia and nectar!
"The cabbage is valuable food be
cause it is rich in lime and potash.
Humans require roughage, coarse
indigestible material, just as animals
do. Every farmer can testify to the
necessity of such foods for his stock
Every dietary expert agrees that
roughage must be supplied If we are
to be healthy
Cabbage is important, then, be-
cause it supplies lime and because it
furnishes roughage When it is served
with delicious dressing it makes a fit
dish for any table.
"In Scotland the oatmeal is cooked
in the cabbage water, making dish
called "kale broge" In this way the
mineral elements are saved.
Almost everybody can eat raw

ing slow car indefinitely, he said,
and, sooner or later, an attempt will
be made to pass. The more con-
gested the traffic is, the greater Is
the hazard.
On highways where traffic is
heavy and congested the speed rule
ought to be that the average speed
Of the. line is the reasonable speed
for that highway. The slowest We.
hicle sets the pace and no passing
from behind should be, allowed.
Therefore, 1t will soon be necessary
to route slow-moving vehicles over
less congested highways and to pro-
hibit the registration OF vehicles
that are not fast enough to keep
up to q. reasonable rate of speed.
The unwieldy, heavy, slow.m0vtng
commercial and other vehicles that
are not able to keep up must be
by routing by distribution.
or by assignment OF a time when
they may travel on certain high.
WAYS when traffic ID lightest. The
manufactures will find It necessary
to place larger and larger CONNER
cial vehicles on pneumatic tires,
and then, by an adjustment or the
engines and construction OF the
whole car, make q speedier Vehlcle.

of Mr.. Stoeckel, on account OF llS
size and speed, and It wiz become
necessary to route the bus over
highways that are not congesteo'
even IL the distance between ter
minals is longer. While state
may not determine what vehicles
may or may not come into the
state, it is within the police power
OF the State to make reasonable
regulations as to. where such

Regarding the licensing of motor

seriously considered that the

ones, are inequitable, the rates in
some cases being SO great as to
seem a penalty. A plan for a new
system based on gross weight,
which shall include a complete

only in fatally injuring the ped
estrain.
Here was an instance in which
one driver contributed to the care
Ieseness OF another. If the first
driver had been sensible enough to
have stopped the accident could
not have occurred.
An analysis of a large number
of recent accidents reveals the fact
that many of them could have
been prevented by other drivers
who were not technically involved.
In many cases the law would not
have aided In forcing these other
drivers to cooperate, and the
police were powerless to curb such
contrib6tory negligence. 1t seems,
therefore, to be matter Of good
will on the part lof the motoring
public IL anything Ii to be ac-
complished in the teamwork. line
and, OF course, . matter Of whole

Motorists who are constantly

Of group consciousness and effort.
It ia pointed out that when a
motofist was alone on the high
ways of twenty-five years ago he
could well afford to consider him
self alone. but that nowadays he
has to consider the fact that IN
looking out for himself hs may be
putting some other driver at great
disadvantage.
One OF the recent accidents ana
Iyzed by the writer showed that
when a. driver turned out to avoid
hitting road obstruction which he
had not noticed until the last mo-
ment he placed his car right in the
path of q machine that was trying
TO pass him. The other driver in
trying to pass had not only failed
to sound his horn but had over.
