WILD GINGER.

cold Spring breeze that is about in
late March Within the coy ginger
blossom the early Spring fly, most
likely her first trip out, is glad enough
| to accept the proffered cup.
The stigmas of the blossom are
sticky and hold the grains of pollen
brought from other wild ginger flowers.
After the stigmas wither there will
arise the IL stamens beside them and
| this pollen is busted over the body
| of the insect that she may carry the
precious gold to waiting ginger bios
som nearby.
To the lover Of flowers this little
scheme of the wild ginger plant ap-
pears to be striving to perfect a plan
much like that of her cousin, the
| Dutchman's pipe. After fertilization
| the ginger cup mods its inverted head
and inside the leathery capsule the
many seeds are developed. When the
seeds are matured the capsule bursts
and sends the seed children in every
direction.
From March until May the rich
| hillsides, moist woods and damp, rich
swamps are sure to have many pairs
Of dark green, broad leaves on fuzzy
stems. They creep along the ground,
supported by thick aromatic root
stock. The solitary flower, which is
dull purplish brown on the outside,
has creamy white interior It is only
found by those who are aware of the
ginger's little secret. Many are aware
Of the lovely leaves that often form
! carpet in open places.
The wild ginger is known from North
Carolina to Missouri. Kansas north
ward to New Brunswick and Manitoba.
You cannot get cattle to touch the
leaves, because they are so bitter. A
grub will not even rest on one and a
mouse passes it by. Long ago man
thought 1t must have medical value,
because 1t bit so.

Il n many WOMEN WHO ulSlSL UPON
wearing the latest and most
freakish millinery, without considering
whether or not it is really flattering to
their respective types
am not suggesting that we shouldn't
try to be in style, but every beauty
seeker ought to realize that when a
given fashion in hats or clothes doesn't
suit her type, she should not hesitate
to discard it or adapt it to herself. This
caution is particularly timely when
small, oddly-shaped hats are in vogue,
as at present.
In choosing hat, full-length mir
ror is as important as a hand glass.
The lines of the hat should be studied
in connection with the lines Of the
figure. The tall, slender woman may
choose q wide hat to make her look
shorter, but If her face is slender the
wide brim will make it appear small
and thin. A large brim makes a
large, full face seem smaller but it also
makes sturdy figure look shorter and
broader. Ideally, therefore, the wide
hat is most becoming to the woman
But this combination is not often found
except among girls in their late teens
or twenties. For the average woman a
medium sized brim is most becoming.
because it does not flatter her face at
the expense of her figure.
The skullcap and beret type Of hat
makes ones features look larger and
coarser Inperfections of complexion
and facial contour are emphasized by
it. Small. close-fitting, brimless hats
are really becoming only to women and
girls with small. regular features, fine
skins and slim figures.
Another drawback of the tiny hat is
that it fails to protect the face from sun
wrinkles. These lines form about the
eyes when one is facing the sun. II

Green Forest and almost wished he
hadn't been in such a hurry. But
jolly, round, bright Mr.. Sun shone the
next day, and Winsome found enough
cedar berries and sumac seeds for food
ALI day he bravely whistled, partly,
suspect, to keep up his own spirits.
! And If that whistle was a little more
pla1nt1ve than usual, it was not to be
wondered at. Whether or not he sue
ceeded in raising his own spirits, he
wonderfully raised those of others who
heard him, for everywhere he is re-
garded as the herald Of Mistress Spring.
Peter Rabbit did funny little dance
when he heard that soft whistle, and
Happy Jack Squirrel whisked up a tree
and barked greeting. Farmer Browns
Boy went out and whiStled a reply that
for moment almost fooled Winsome
Bluebird into thinking that there was
another of his own kind as early as he.
Bully the English Sparrow heard that
soft whistle, but it brought no Joy to
Bully.

Who is back?" she asked, for she
was fussing about among the hens try
ing to steal some grain from them.
"WinSome Bluebird," replied Bully.

Bully.
you ought to know" retorted Bully.
"n Mrs. Winsome isn't with him she
soon will be, and that means that If
we want that house we have been look
ing at over in the Old Orchard we will
have to fight for it."
What of it?" demanded Mrs. Bully.
Since when have you been unwilling
to fight? You must have changed. II
ever I have seen any one who loves
to quarrel and fight. you are that one.
Are you afraid of Winsome Bluebird?"
i should say not!" retorted Bully
boastfully. But you know what a
fight over that house will mean. All
the rest Of the birds will join to help
drive us out, and in the end 1t will
bring Farmer Browns Boy, and he will
put us out. There Is Winsome Blue
bird over in the top Of that apple tree
this very minutes showing of his fine
feathers. I don't like that fellow, and
1 don't care who knows It,"
He has got a lovely coat, Just like
a bit Of the sky" said Mrs. Bully ad-
miringly. II wish you had lovely
blue coat like his. And 1 don't think
he is trying to show it off"
Then what Is he sitting in the ton
CT that tree for?" demanded Bully. You
better come along with me over to that
house before he gets in it."

Besides serving as chief engineer of

He drafted the revised drainage
codes for Minnesota, Arkansas, Ohio,
Mississippi, Colorado and New Mexico,
and has been consulting engineer on
drainage and flood control projects all
over the Nation.
That he is regarded as a practical
engineer and not a theorist Is evi-
denced by the enthusiastic reception
of his appointment to the post by the
Ohio Senators. Senator Bulkley of
Ohio, long before his appointment was
announced, declared that Morgan was
fit in every respect to take over the

7 ONG before the opening Of
Chicago's Century of Progress
it was announced that the lights
IL on the grounds would be turned
on by beams from the bright
star called Arcturus.
1t is possible for starlight to be
caught by a photo-electric cell and 10
set up an electric impulse which will
perform further wonders on our little
earth.
I speak Of our little earth" but that
is only point of view All things may
be taken by comparison.
Compared with a mayfly, human
being is of mighty size. Compared with
the earth, a man is tiny.
The earth is large compared with
any object close to us, and there was a
time when people supposed it to be the
largest thing in the universe. That was
before astronomers learned the size OF
the sun and the stars.
Telescopes and the science of geome-
try have made it possible to learn the
: distance and size OF stars. We know
that Arcturus is so large that COM
pared with it, the earth is little
The diameter of the earth Is not
quite 5000 miles. The diameter of
Arcturus is close of 100000 miles!
Arcturus is far larger than the sun,
and deserves to rank among the giants
Of the universe. 1t shines brightly; but
| even so, it looks small because of its
great distance. An airplane two or
| three miles away seems hardly as large
as an eagle. What could we expect of
an object millions of billions of miles
| from us
Light travels so swiftly that it might
go around the earth seven times in one
second. Arcturus is so far away that
light from it takes about Al years to
reach us.
When officials were looking for a star
whose light could be used to open the
Chicago fair. they chose Arcturus be-
cause its light has been ION the way"

Who Would Ever Suspect
the Apricot Glaze?
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

French pastry always has an appeal
to the woman who is lunching down.
town or in the smart teashop in the
suburbs. Many a woman has tried to
equal the gay little tarts in her own
kitchen. And many woman has
failed.
The shining smartness of the tarts
is due, in part at least, to the glaze
which IS put over the fruit after il
is in the tart. The procedure is like
this.
First the tart shells are baked. They
may be fluted by baking them in the
f1uted little tart tins Or they may be
made straight-sided by fitting the pas
try into the inside of muffin tins.
Evening star., 1933-05-29

1t is a little more difficult to get
an attractive edge when this is done,
for the pastry will persist in slipping
down the sides. There is no edge of
tin to fold them over.
After the tart shells are baked they
may have a spoonful of thick, rich
custard topped with uncooked. sweet
ened fresh fruit Or the fruit. such
as plums or pears, may have been
poached in boiling water for moment
or two.
The glaze does the trick. That is
made Of a mixture Of apricot puree
cooked with once and a half again as
much sugar to rich sirup. Or it may
be sirup slightly colored and thick
ened with cornstarch. This is brushed
on. There is no cooking after 1t is put
onto the fruit.

How it Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
To Be Green. "

One Of the most popular metaphors
in common speech is the expression
green" to express lack Of knowledge
or experience in any field of endeavor.
The term has been attributed to
Shakespeare, and it is doubtless his use
of it in Hamlet" that is responsible for
its popularity in modern speech. How
ever there is previous use of green"
in this sense in the Earl of Surveys
"Restlesse State Of Louer," which
dates 1857, while Hamlet" appeared
in 1902.
The use Of the metaphor in Hamlet"
is by Polonious, talking to his daugh-
ter Ophelia about the prince. Ophelia
says:
He hath, my lord, of late made
many tenders of his affection to me-"
Her father answers:
Affection! Pooh! You speak like q
green girl,
"Unsifted in such perilous circum-
stance"
If the metaphor required interpreta-
ton, 1t would be explained in Shake
speare's lines in Antony and Cleo
patra":

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

Both armies to the colors few
And their machetes barred
Although full well the people knew
War hadn't been declared.
They fought their foes on bog and
brake
And all around the map,
So later they'd know how to make
A scrap.
And when the declarations came
One torrid tropic dawn,
They need not wait to learn the game;
They fought serenely on.
And so. with saber and with gun
And bold and valiant hearts,
The war will probably be won
Before it even starts.
This looks like war by hook or crook
And blast the rules-but then,
The warriors must be foreward look
ing men.

says her 18-month-old daughter has a
sudden dislike to certain vegetables
asparagus, peas, green beans and cauli-

soup nicely.
Should let her go hungry or offer
the rest of the meal?" asks this mother.
IF omit the remainder of the meal,
shall I offer the vegetables again at
night and give her nothing until she
eats them? Would teething have any
thing to do with this? She has been
cutting teeth the past month.
Her toes turn in slightly. She has
always worn good shoes. Shall I do
anything about this? How many words
does the average child of this age have
in the vocabulary? She has about IL
words. and have been told she is slow

which she does not eat make no COM

whole appetite; so avoid scenes by
offering foods that she does like and
will eat with relish. The important
thing is that she eat each meal with
pleasure. She can't do this If you ele-
