Horse Chestnut.
Aesculus hippocastanum.

Aesculus hippocastanum.
TINE horse chestnut tree Is an
immigrant, but 1t has been
planted to such an extent In
i America that it is looked upon
as happy native. Some time
in April. 1746, John Bartram wrote o
letter to one Peter Collinson, thanking
him for the gift Of some horse chestnut
Seeds In that letter he remarks, Some
seem pretty sound" This is how the
lovely tree was introduced to its adopt
ed country. Its native home appears
to be in the mountainous regions Of
Northern Greece. It has been culti-
waited extensively in the stately gar
dens Of Europe since the middle Of
the sixteenth century.
Under auspicious conditions. the horse
chestnut tree will grow to rs or 80
Of or 3 feet. 1t Is without question
one Of our most symmetrical shade
trees.
BY June the tree is in its glory. At
this time its handsome dome of dark
green leaves is fairly covered with the
exquisite snowy pyramids Of flowers.
These pyramids stand from to IL
inches in height and each white flower
has a throat Of yellow. speckled with
purple. The colors are the honey
guides for the bees.
The leaves Of this tree are SO dis
tinctive that they are never confused
with any other, except their cousins,
the buckeyes. They are composed OF
either five or seven leaflets and grow
in the form of fan from q stem
to z inches long.
The wood is q pale yellowish- white,
soft and close grained, and has little
commercial value. Its chief asset lies
in its ornamental beauty and value as
a shade tree in the hot cities.
The nuts" are well known to all
woods loving boys. The round, prickly
case protects the one to three large,
brown, lustrous nuts" until they are
ripe. They lose their beauty when ex-
posed to the air. AS they contain a
bitter property, they are not fit for
food, though 1t is said that hogs and
goats thrive upon them. A flour is
made from them that is used in max
ing cosmetics and a paste that is very
tough and Objectionable to insects.
This virtue endears it to bookbinders.
There are old books which reveal the
supposed medicinal value The bitter
bark is an astr1ngent and was used
in tanning leather. A tea made from

there was no Johnny Chuck. He had

He has a branch hall, the entrance
to which 1 have overlooked" thought
Mrs Reddy, and straightaway began to
look for an opening on one side or the
other There was none. Mrs. Reddy
backed out, sat down and looked puz-
zled Twice more she went inside and
twice backed out without having found
out what had become of Johnny

She wasn't out Of sight when or.
again Johnny Chuck was sitting on
his doorstep watching her. Johnny

Well. that is my secret. Just the same,
I think I will move. Now that Reddy
and Mrs. Reddy can enter this house
one of them might surprise me asleep,
and that would be just too bad for me-.
I'll have to have a house with door
way they can't get through
So Johnny moved over to the old
stone wall on the edge Of the Old
Orchard, where he had lived once be-
fore. Have you guessed his secret?

French satirist and humorist, Rabs-
las, who lived from 1905 (probably)
to 1853. We have 1t from the leading
character in his famous satire, The
Grand and Inestimable Chronicles oi
the Grand and Enormous Giant Gar
gantua." This dates 1881. The giant
appears also In the subsequent work,
now known to us as "Gargantua and

the fruit was considered an effectual
treatment for gout and rheumatism
Children afflicted with whooping-
cough were dosed with . decoction
brewed from the leaves.
The name Is derived from the scar
made where the leaf stalk leaves the
twig. You can see what appears to be
the imprint Of q horses hoof. Boys
love to gather the nuts and play the
famous game Of conquerors with them.
No other tree has been more hon
ored. In England there is even a
Chestnut Sunday, when thousands
come from London and its suburbs to
enjoy the glorious display of blossoms
on the Avenue of Chestnuts In Bushey
Park, on the Thames.

n young readers: you are ter
~ rfbiy brave at home when you
4 \ face your parents. You tell
them Just where to get off. You
call them out of date. You speak your
mind freely. Why not speak your mind
freely In school when your associates
ask you II they may copy your work?
Tell them where to get off, If they
tell you to follow the crowd, why don't
you say, as you do to your mother and
father, I'll do as please?"
The replies were interesting, one
point especially, where the boys and
girls practically said: I'VE can get away
with murder at home, but We can't talk
back to our classmates. They will not
stand for 1t. We must do what the
gang does"
So there we are just where we
started. The boys and girls are "brave"
at home and towards at school. From
the letters, judge that when it comes
to cheating in school, our youngsters
are absolute towards. And what we are
going to do about it Is well worth dis
cuSsing.

My Neighbor Says:

Try adding a few drops of
lemon juice to rice the next time
you are cooking it. It makes it
beautifully white and keeps the
grains whole.
To make window cleaning easy
dip a piece of chamois in hot
water. wiring it and go all over
the pane with it, turning the
chamois frequently. No rubbing
with busters is required. as the
pane will dry with a beautiful
polish.
Old stockings make excellent
floor polishers. Split them open
and sew togther, cutting of the
feet if they are much darned.
They are also excellent for pol
iShing shoes.

Responding to One No Trump With
a Five-Card Suit.

V ESTERDAY explained the rea-
" son for advising very light take
outs with suits Of five cards
i both from considerations of
safety and for constructive pur-
poses. However I do not see the use
In keeping the bidding open-and pos
sibly deterring the third hand from
making a bid-unlesS there are some
hopes for a constructive outcome.
My idea Of the line which divides a
pass from a takeout is as follows:
l. Bid any five-card suit headed by
ace-ten or by king-jack even If there
Is no other face card In the hand.
q Bid a five-card suit headed by the
queen If there is a king in the hand;
or flve-card suit to the jack if there
is primary trick in the hand in OBJ
vious re-entry form; an ace or two kings
or king and @ holding.
These are weakness takeouts. With
stronger hands it Is not necessarily ad~
visable to bid a weak five-card suit, in
fact you will generally gain by raising
in no trumps when the hand fulf1lls the
requirements already set forth for such

Thus speaketh Gabby Street,
the old Sarge" manager of the
Red Birds, and quite some shucks
as a prognosticator of National
League flag races at his home
here. He has a grand average Of
.667 in the guesS-aS-gueSS-can
business, having picked his club
in 1880, 1881 and 1882. Last
year the guess wasn't so good.
"Let the club bat .29O as a
team, It the defense come
through as it should, and with
the Cardinals pitching-why
they can't keep us out" says
Gabby.
pittsburgh will be the club
to beat for the title, Street
believes.
pittsburgh is well.baI-
anced club with better than
fair pitching. The addition of
Freddy LindStrOm should make
the Pirates powerful con-
tender, stOnger than the re-
inf0rced PhillieS, stronger than
the champion Cubs"
The regular Cardinal lineup
for 1888 is unsettled, Street ad-
vises. All this will be worked out
in the training camp. With
Bottomley gone to Cincinnati the
first base position will be fight
between Rip Collins and Pat
C-awford.
Second base will bew untitled
Until Rogers Hornsby proves that
he can fill the bill. Shortstop?
Take your choice of Charley Will
son, Sparky Adams or Charley
Colbert.
For third base, frankie Frisch,
who, Street opines, is the great
est all-around player in either
league today.
So far as outfielders and
pitchers are concerned, the Card
inals are overburdened, Street
says. The best bets of the pitch
ing staff are Hallahan, Derringer,
Dean, Carleton, Haines, Stout,
Lindsey, Mooney, Walker and
Vance.
Boston will be better this year
with the addition of Shanty
Hogan, the Cubs will benefit by
the addition of Babe Herman,
Bottomley and Hafey will make
Cincinnati dangerous, and the
New York Giants will finish no
better than sixth or seventh
place.

It will be the doubles team
which makes the strongest show
ing of the four involved, and the
quartette of twosomes are as
evenly matched as peas in pod
OF course. the pair which will
hold the optics of the spectators
tomorrow will be Megaw and Ollie

The wide following that this
combination attracted during

HiES eminence during the 1922
season have been waiting since
the current season got underway
f0f-them to resume their strings
of~victories.
But they have yet to register
an important victory.
Both Pacini and Megaw claim
that tomorrow night will mark

Mandley will probably draw the
Sunrise Bakery job of keeping
them on the wrong end of the
scores.

lots together in a big event.

how his boys will lineup.

open mind on everything. How

ss Team Uncertain
Places is also waiGing for the

states that he'll send all nine of
his men into action, if it's neces-
Sary, to win.
Megaw, too, figures on making
sUbStitutions whenever he thinks
one of his bowlers is not on his
game. So it's probable that
neither team will finish with the
lineup with which it starts.
In this respect, the two mana
gers are copying Frank BARRIERS

tates to yank out a.man when he
