In the current issue of Rhodora, a

covery Of new plant specimens is
given high tribute.
The article, written by Paul C..

This variety was called to my at

me large series Of specimens COL
lected at numerous localities in In
diana and suggested that the form
should receive a name. The variety
consequently is named Deamii, n
his honor. since he is too modest to
describe it himself.
"Modesty is not one of the be-
setting sins of botanists, and in
this case, it is all the more to be
regretted upon the part Of one who
possesses a knowledge Of the flora
of the upper Mississippi valley, such
as probably will not be attained by
any other botanist in the very near
future"
There is a footnote stating: 1.-THE
editors of Rhodora fully concur"

been a student of botany and for

Denunciation at Suit

BIZ DUtted Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 21-Mrs.
Frances Marion Brandon ran
through little light verbal exercise
on the witness stand in supreme
court today, got thoroughly warmed
up to her subject and then rose to
new heights in her denunciation Of
George J. Gillespie, whom she is
suing for S574,l85.
She charges him with breach of
promise and fraud. Impartial OBJ
servers in the crowded courtroom
were inclined to believe that Mrs.
Brandons performance today eX-
celled those of the two previous days
on which she has testified. While
she could think of only one more
name to call Gillespie, her gestures
showed a greater command OF the
situation.
Under cross examination by Theo-
dore Kiendl, counsel for Gillespie,
Mrs. Brandon was led up to her big
moment. She was being asked
about the red triangles in her
ary--combinations, she said, of the
scarlet letter and tue eternal tri-
angle, which were used to mark her
love trysts with Gillespie-when
Kiendl asked:
"On the anniversary of the first
scarlet triangle, that is, on the night
of Jan. 80, 1923, did you show Mr.
Gillespie all those marks you had
made?"
"I am not sure" she said.
"Gillespie," said Kiendl, that is
Mr.. Gillespie"
"At that time, he was neither Gill
lespie nor Mr.. Gillespie to me-" in
terrupted Mrs. Brandon.
"Oh, you called him Robin?"

Advance Made in Studying Heart Ills

{ of every one of the procedures for
examination.
Of special interest to the patient,
as well as to the doctor, is the
question of how capable the heart
may be of carrying on its work. To
the specialist in heart disease a
dozen or more functional tests are
known whereby he can measure the
capacity of the organ to Withstand
unusual effort.
Fortunately it has become a rec
ognized procedure in scientific medi-
cine for the general practitioner who
discovers the presence Of heart dis
ease to suggest to the patient that
he consult some one who has given
more extensive study to the subject,
in case the condition demands ex-
tended investigation. Indeed this
procedure obtains throughout the
field of medicine generally.
Heart disease is today the most
frequent cause of death, its rate be-
ing at least twice that Of the next
nearest cause. Hence the number
of men giving special attention to
diseases of the heart is increasing
by the old law of supply and de-
mand.
There are as yet few,if any, ply
sicians who devote themselves ex-
clusively to the herat. Diseases OF
the heart is a special branch Of in
ternal medicine.
