makers of the Flag"

On Flag day, 1914, before the en-
plOyees of the Department of the
Interior, Franklin X. Lane, then
secretary of the interior, made an
address which ended: 81 swung be-
fore your eyes as a bright CLEAN of

How Teddy Bears" Got
Their WeIl-Known Name

About 1888 Margarete Steiff, a
crippled dressmaker living in lit
tie village in Germany, used some
leftover material to make toy
bear for child. The bear was
popular and other children in the
community Immediately wanted rag
bears. Margarete's brother, Rich
ard Steiff. later saw the CONNER
cial possibilities of these toys and
put them on the market. George
BOrgfeldt & Co. of New York i'm
ported sOIle in 1902. At that time,
of course, they were not called
teddy bears and nobody thought of
assOciating them with Roosevelt. 1t
so happened, however, that PreSi-
dent Roosevelt went on a hunting
trip to Mississippi that same fall.
The public was amused when
news dispatch stated that freddy"
had refused to shoot a small bear
brought into camp for him to kill.
This inspired Clifford X. Bergman,
the cartOOnist, to draw cartoon
picturing Colonel Roosevelt in his
hunting outfit with his back to
man who is dragging in a small
cub with rope around its neck.
Roosevelt, with his gun in his right
hand. has his left hand raised
after the fashion of a traffic cop to
indicate his objection to the proce-
dure. The cartoon is labeled
Drawing the Line in Mississippi"
1t was a popular hit and Bergman
adopted the bear as his cartoon
mascot-Pathfnder Magazine.

Vegetables Enjoyed by
Epicures of Old Times

The beets of ancient Greece were
black and white and the leaves as
well as the roots were used. The
leaves were generally preferred to
lettuce, though lettuce was highly
thought of for its cooling effect.
There are accounts of lettuce
being served in it's natural state
at the table of Persian kings as
far back as 500 3. C. The Romans
generally cooked it. Roman let
tuce was black and its milky juice
was said to induce sleep. In
Sixteenth century England, where
eight varieties were found, it was
cooked served with oil and vinegar.
Only in recent years have mush-
rooms been anything like abundant
on the market, and outside the
large cities they are considered a
rarity still; yet mushrooms have
been available for thousands of
years. Said Pliny: The last de-
vice of epicures to sharpen their
appetites and tempt them to eat in
ordinately is the cooking of musn-
rooms"
Often they prepared the dish with
their own hands to enjoy the odor.
The mushroom, however, fell into
discredit at the death of Emperor
Tiberius Claudius. on account of
the aid it had rendered Agrippina,
his wife, In poisoning him.

Small Farms in India

''India is essentially a country of
small holdings" says Sir Verney
Lovett, author of "India." SIN many
parts of the country the land is
held mainly by families of peasant
properties. In other parts the bulk
of the land is owned by large prop
critics, but even in such cases the
tenant in chief has generally been
protected by a series of rent acts
which not only insure him fixety of
tenure during his lifetime but often
grant the right of descent of the
tenure TO his heirs on his death.
The disruptive tendencies of the
Hindu and Mohammedan laws have
profoundly affected agricultural
economy through encouraging the
minute subdivision of land" Frag-
mentation is the rule.

Extract Pleasure From

"An ingenious American" says
DR.. Joseph Lobel, in Don't Be

as in various games we expose our
selves to danger, knowing with cer-
tainty that we shall escape, just as
we enjoy the pleasant ticklish feel
ing that enSueS as a result of this
combination of sensations, So
says he, we often create for our
selves, out of pure desire for SEN
satiOn, the pleasantly of dread
1T is not man alone who sets
out to learn how to shudder. The
mother who sits on the couch anx-
iously awaiting her boys return
from school, is doing the same
thing. She surrenders herself to
feelings of anxiety and pictures his
having fallen into the water. In
reality, she feels nothing of the
kind. Otherwise she would have
rushed long ago to the water, in
stead of sitting quietly on the
couch, indulging pleasantly in
feelings of apprehension.
"But picturing to herself all the
dangers into which her son may
have fallen, she is unconsciously
enjoying herself Out of the
everyday, monOtOnous homecoming
of her yOungster, she has created
a dramatic event. She will well
come him with a sigh of relief and
happiness when he crosses the
threshold just as she had really
been expecting him to arrive, safe

Darwin's Evolution Theory

The Darwin theory undertakes to
explain one phase of evolution. 1t
is the theory of the origin and per-
petuation of new species of ami
mails and plants. The theory main
tains that organizations tend to
produce offspring varying slightly
from their parents and that the
process of natural selection tends
to favor the survival of individuals
whose peculiarities render them
best adopted to their environment I;
also that chiefly by the continued
operation of these factors, new
species not only have been and
may still be produced, but organ
isms Of widely differing groups
may have arisen from common an
