even better than hoped for. Despite
the fact that the kumquat was q
cwarf species OF citrus, the new tree
grew rapidly and assumed large pro-
portions. The scientists again COM
bined the INT of the parent trees
in christening the new member Of
the citrus family and II was dubbed
the citrangquat. Its family record
shows that il is actually one-quar-
ter trifoliate, one-quarter sweet or
ange. and one-half kumquat.
The fruit OF this new tree Is a
brilliant green in July. and at this
early age may be used to make a re-
freshing drink. II may be used for
that purpose throughout all imma-
ture stages. In the autumn, before
il becomes entirely ripe, IL changes
from green TO light yellow, and fin
ally in November it dons the full
golden color Of its orange parent.
The ripe fruit loses much OF It's acid
ity and may be eaten raw, but il
lacks the flavor Of the grange. AS a
commercial possibility it is not con-
sidcred, but as an ornamental and
as a producer Of fruit that makes "a
very refreshing drink, il Is meeting
much favor in the upper tier Of the
Gulf coast states.
How Experiments are fastened
Ordinarily several years would
eIapse before it would be possible
to definitely ascertain the result Of
such experiments. but the scientists
have evolved a method which elm
mates many Of the long years OF
waiting. Tiny seedlings are taken
up with a ball of dirt about their
roots. They then scrape the bsrk off
enc side Of the Seeding trunk, and
dig into the bark Of some well rooted
kindred tree until the sap streams
are tapped. The Seeding is then
hound into the cut in the larger tree.
and the two grow together. Then
the top is cut from the older tree
and the root from Ihe seeding.
This method in the nursery Is
known as an "inarch." Under this
method the older tree becomes a
sort Of step-parent 70 the little one.
All the vigor in its roots Is sen into
the seeding, and the latter grows
prodigiously. In two years instead
Of three or four ii bears fruit.

HIDE ACE

PARIS. May 7..--Astonishment is
expressed in French circles that
100000 English women registered
their ages as being between 80 and
As years.
The press assures its readers that
i IL such a census were taken in
France not 125' women could be
found.
If the vote is given to French
women will they allow the age
limit to be fixed at 81, or 81?
In England there are S,OO0,O 900
between the ages Of 81 and 81
which is not surprising.
Also in France IL the same regis.
tering was necessary a majority
would be found at this age. Other
ages would be given as over As but
between the two not one soul
would be discovered.
The wonder is how England dis
tinguishes between a miss of 1e
and her grandmother Of so. In
France as the young girls wear the
same pearls and the grandmother the
same short skirts there is no marked
difference,

The man with decided virtues
and glaring faults is always a
more interesting character than
the man with neither.
Simon Peter was q man whose
faults were no less conspicuous
and obvious than his virtues. OF
q rugged honesty, and with un-
doubted love for Christ and the
cause which He represented, he
yet fell far short of perfection.
When Jesus had minated that
His disciples would fail to be
loyal to Him in the hour Of His
adversely Peter had uttered the
unforgettable words, Though
all men should deny Thee, yet
will not / deny Thee" His sub
sequent conduct is a matter Of
record. His good intentions were
one thing, his actions another.
When Jesus was taken for
trial before the High Priest,
Peter followed Him from a safe
distance. He did not see fit to
risk his life in order to stand
by the Master in the hour Of
adversely. Eventually, however,
he came to the scene Of the trial,
where he thrice denied having
any knowledge Of or association
with Jesus Of Nazareth. All Of
this was in accordance with the
prediction of Christ. After the
third denial Jesus looks upon
Peter with silent rebuke. The
erring disciple, conscience
stricken, left the scene of the
trial and wept bitterly.

TOMORROW'S SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
simon Peter and
the Risen Lord
BY Rev. Edward Taber

OF all the attributes oftChrist
none is more typical than His
willingness to forgive. After the
Resurrection, Jesus still treated
Simon Peter as one Of His
disciples.
Peters regret at his cowardly
conduct was genuine and sincere.
When Mary Magdalene, on the
first Easter morning, found that
the tomb was empty, she came
hurrying to tell Peter and John
of the rsws. As yet she was
not convinced that the Lord was
risen, but thought it possible
that the body had been stolen.
When the two disciples heard
the news, they came hurrying
to the sepulchre. The picture
the Scripture gives US is most
realistic. John, a younger man
and hence able to run faster.
arrived at the tomb first. but
would not go in. When the
older disciple reached the tomb,
he impulsively entered, to find
the sepulchre empty.
It is doubtful whether or not
at this time the disciples were
firmly convinced Of the Resur-
rection of Christ. Later, how
ever, after talking with the risen
Lord, their doubts were vanished.
Jesus, realizing the great abil-
ity of Simon Peter, and forgiv-
ing the apostles denial, charged
him with the responsibility of
leadership in the early church.
