Worlds Great Debt to
Little Town of Athens

Five hundred years before Christ,
IN 81 little town on the far western
border OF the settled and civilized
world, a strange new power was at
work. Something had awakened In
the minds and spirits of the men there
which was so to influence the world
that the slow passage of long time, of
century upon century and the shatter-
ing changes they brought, would be
powerless to wear away that deep i'm
press. Athens had entered upon her
brief and magnificent Towering of
genius which so nodded the world of
mind and Of spirit that our mind and
spirit today are different. We think
and feel differently because of what a
little Greek town did during q century
or two, 2,400 years ago. What was
then produced of art and of thought
has never been surpassed and very
rarely equaled, and the stamp of 1t is
upon all art and all the thought of
the western world. And yet this full
stature of greatness came to pass at
a time when the mighty civilizations
Of the ancient world had persisted and
the shadow of "effortless barbarism"
was dark upon the EARTH In that black
and fierce world a little center of
white-hot spiritual energy was at
work. A new civilization had risen
In Athens. unlike all that had gone
'before.-From 'The Greek Way" by
Edith Hamilton.

Plant Furnishes Water
in PAYMENT for Food

A plant which saps its food from
another plant grows 20 times as large
as the host plant. yet does not in any
way harm but rather benefits the host,
grows in the desert of southeastern
California.
Adding further to its peculiaritles is
the fact that it makes an excellent
food for man, yet grows in an area
where only 2 to 8 inches of rain fall
annually.
The plant Is the Ammobroma, or
sand root, and was first seen In 1928
by white men, so far as the record
Is concerned. 1t was found, however,
that the Papago Indians were familiar
with the plant, and for generations
had been digging the roots, which ex-
tend 8 to 5 feet into the ground. In
spite Of the depth to which the roots
extend, they are easily drawn up out
of the soil.
1t has little or nothing In the way of
leaves, and the only flower is a sand
colored blossom, which lies close to
the ground. The stalks Of the plant
are much like asparagus, and are both
appetizing and nourishing.
Lacking green coloring matter, the
plants are unable to manufacture their
own food, and obtain it by attaching
themselves to other plants. In return
the root system Of the Ammobroma
supplies the host plant with the vital,
life-giving water.

Roman Historian Wrote
of "Noble" CaIedonians

Picts is the name by which, for five
and a half centuries-296 to S44 A. d.
the people that inhabited eastern
Scotland, from the Forth to the Pent-
land firth, were known. In certain
chronicles they are styled Picti, Pic
tones, Pictores, or Plccardaig-all
forms Of the same root; but some
times the native Gaelic name Of
Cruithnig is applied to them, and
their country called Cruithen-tuath,
the equivalent Of the Latin Pictavia
and Old Morse Pettland, which still
survives in the name Of the Pentland
firth. In their wars in Britain the
Romans came into collision with the
Picts. One Roman or Latin writer Of
that time speaks of "the Caledonians
and other Picts," which implies the in.
clusion of the former In the latter
people. The well-known Roman his
torian, Tacitus, calls Scotland north
Of the Firths Of Forth and Clyde, Cal
edonia, and he describes the Caledoni-
ans as noble race of barbarians, who
fight In chariots as well as on foot,
with long swords and short shields,
and whose fair red hair and large
limbs argued Teutonic origin. The
Highlanders of today are of Celtic
origin. The prefix, mac, meaning son
Of, Is from the Gaelic.

Forest Monarchs Yield
to Relentless Years

Many Of the oak trees In Windsor
park are at least a thousand years
old. Some were quite big when Will
liam the Conqueror came to these
islands, and many date back to the
days of Alfred the Great and Canute.
Recently some of these veterans
have had to be felled, for though they
still bore their array of leaves and
acorns year by year they were becom-
ing dangerous to the public.
The oak Is the sturdiest of our
trees. For centuries 1t continues to
grow, and the wood of its trunk re-
mains hard and healthy. But when
old age sets in the middle Of the wood
begins to decay, and in time little
more is left than the shell of the
trunk supporting the mighty weight
of the great branches. Even so, the
tree may stand for long time after
its trunk has become no more than a
hollow tube. But when great holes
begin to develop near the base of the
oak 1t becomes dangerous.
The king is ranger of Windsor park
and Windsor forest. Recently he had
to give permission for the telling of
eight Of the Oldest giants, which old
age had reduced to mere Skeletons

Silver Fox Fur

The name silver fox, as commonly
used by furriers, includes the dark
phases Of the ordinary red fox, vari-
ously called silver, silver-gray, silver
black or black. The color Of the red
fox Of the northeastern states and of
Its allies Of the colder parts Of North
America varies from red to black, and
these extremes, with the graduation be-
tween them, form four more or less
distinct phases, known, respectively,
as red. cross or patch. silver and
black. The silver fox, therefore, is a
color phase of the red fox. 1t is dark
all over, with silver hairs intermixed,
but not red, and the tip Of the tail Is
generally, but not always, white. The
guard hairs which give the silver ap-
pearance to the pelage are not entire
ly white, but are black with a white
band, and some guard hairs are en-
tirely black.

Backgammon Played in
Practically All Lands

Caesars legions, sweeping Europe,
carried backgammon to every country
they toIched-and left II there, after
the barbarian hordes had swept
Rome's empire into dust.
Down through the centuries It came,
essentially game of the aristocrats
its known that Madame de Main-
tenon, just before the French revolu.
tion, entertained at backgammon, prac-
tically as wealthy DetrOiters. New
Yorkers, Bostonians are entertaining
today.
"Aristos," waiting debonairely for
the honor roll" that carted them to
the guillotine from the prisons of
France, played backgammon.
1t has a different name In nearly
every country. France. for example,
calls 1t Trio Trac.
The origin Of the English name is In
doubt. Some say 1t came from the
Welsh words. "bach" meaning "nttle,"
and "cammum," meaning battle"
Others assert It came from the Saxon,
"baec," meaning back" and ''gamen,"
meaning "game"-Or game in which
the men were set back.-Detr0it News.

Trace Mass Production
to Wiseat of Monarchs

Do you sometimes wonder how it
ever happened that clothes became
standardized? Why is 1t, for in-
stance, that when sou are looking for
your wife or iiancee. or any other GER
tain specified woman, amongst a crowd
In department store, or hotel lobby,
or at the station. and you feel sure
you can recognize her anywhere by a
glimpse of her hat you become hope
lessly confused over the bevy of hats
around you, every one Of which you
would swear was the very identical
hat your fair lady was accustomed
to wear?
Here's how it came about. Solomon,
that intrepid husband of a thousand
women, was out walking one fine
spring day with certain favored wife
Of his, one of the cuddly, teasing, coax
ing variety, with such a vivid person
ality that he could even remember her
name.
When they reached the business Sec
tion, and were strolling past MILL
merry shop, the petite one went into
raptures over little beige felt hat on
display in the window.
"Oh, l must have that darling hat,
Solly dear. Isn't it adorable?" And
she gave his arm an affectionate
squeeze.
you'll buy it for me, won't you,
dearie? All the neighbors will envy
me. Just imagine how stunning it will
looki l wa-a-nt it."
OF course they bought the hat and
the little favored wife wore it home.
The next morning a disheveled,
downcast, pitiable wreck of once
powerful man, who looked as though
he had had a thousand stormy inter-
views, hobbled into the millinery shop,
holding in his trembling hands tiny
beige felt hat, and Numbered, 81 want
to place an order for 900 hats exactly
like this one."
And so it was that mass production

New York's Famous ''Bowerv"

The Bowery used to be a farm or
plantation, and was so called by the
early Dutch settlers In New York. The
street in New York called the Bowery
passed through the farm of Gov.
Peter Stuyvesant in later times it be-
came noted for cheap shops and places
OF amusement, and for the loud and
ilashy character of its frequenters;
hence the various depreciatory terms
used In reference to 1t. The "Bowery
boy" the queerest product OF America
In his day, was "full Of an affectation."
This reference Of Julian Ralph in an
article In the Century Magazine, in
1891. serves to strengthen this idea
Of cheapness.
