"Wee Kirk O. Heather"
Recalls "Annie Laurie"

Perhaps not in all the English-speak.
Ing world Is there q more popular or
better beloved song than "Annie
Laurie"
The romantic story Of William Doug
las, its composer, and his fateful WOO
ing Of its heroine, Annie Laurie, is
beautifully portrayed and perpetuated
In the residential town of Glendale,
Calf. There, In the estate Of Forest
Lawn, Nesting In veritable garden
valley, is to be found "The Wee Kirk
O. the Heather"-a tiny bit of Scotland
transplanted and glorified.
On the green, sweeping slopes sur
rounding this little church, are great
patches of purple heather, transplant
ed also, from Its native Scotland, thus
enhancing the charm Of this "Wee
Kirk" which is a replica of the orig
inal In which Annie Laurie worshiped
in the days Of aud lang syne," In
Glencairn, Dumfriesshire. The original
In Scotland Is now a ruin, but 1t has
been sublimely perpetuated in this one
so far away.
The story is plaintiV " told on
tablet in front Of 1.-THE Wee Kirk O.
the Heather" that Annie Laurie was
born in 1882, the daughter of Sir Rob.
ert Laurie, the owner Of Maxwelton
castle. Her lover, Douglas. was a
member Of an opposing clan and. be-
cause of this, Sir Robert refused to
sanction marriage between his daugh.
ter and Douglas. In his. endeavors to
keep the young lovers apart. Sir Rob-
ert. imprisoned his daughter in the
castle.

Despite the. fact that most of us
think Of the cactus as q native Of the
desert Southwest, these curious jointed
ieshy plants occur in many other parts
Of the country, according to a veteran
student Of southern botany. who has
found a number Of species Of cacti In
Florida, and these have not limited
themselves to the drier central areas
Of the state as might be expected. The
same species Of cacti that flourish
there may be found In the salt
marshes along the seashore. Some of
these apparently have an aversion to
too much wetness, however. for they
have taken to living on the limbs Of
trees.

RED CROSS AGENCIES
SAFEGUARD HEALTH
First Aid Life Saving, Nursing
Care, Promote Health
and Safety

Five outstanding services make up
the health-conservation program of
the American Red Cross, according to
the annual report just issued in Wash
ington. These services are first aid
and life saving, which together have
trained more than a million persons;
nursing, with an active enrolment of
36,133 registered nurses; Public Health
Nursing, conducted by 750 nurses in
424 chapters last year; and Home
Hygiene, which has taught more than
100000 men and women simple ways of
caring for the sick at home.
"The achievements of the Red Cross
in public health nursing place it
among the leaders in this field,'' said
James l.. Fieser, vice chairman in
charge of domestic operations. "This
service was organized in 1919 to meet
needs developed by the World War
and the ravages of the flu epidemic
which in 191S-1919 took so great toll
of life.
"Since that time Red Cross nursing
services have been pioneers in more
than one half of the counties in the
United State. Many services we estab-
lished were taken over later by civic,
state and federal agencies, and the
Red Cross continues to establish serv-
ices in other new fields. Red Cross
nurses made more than million visits
to patients last year, and 629,025 chill
dren in schools were inspected.
"Red Cross courses in home hygiene
and care of the sick are especially inn
portant in times of depression, because
they teach families to maintain by
gienic conditions in their own homes
and to recognize symptoms of illness
early enough to prevent serious con.
sequences.
"Our courses in first aid have been
instrumental in saving lives of the in
jured; in safeguarding the accident
victim until the physician arrives, and
in reducing time lost by workers in
factories, mines and other industries.
We are also giving the course extern
sively to police and fire departments
throughout the country, and to state
highway patrols"
Everyone is invited to join the Red
Cross during the annual membership
roll call which continues from Arnis-
tice Day to Thanksgiving, to have a
part in the health program and the
other humanitarian services of the Red
Gross.

Under a new ruling, just issued by
the Federal Foods and Drug Admin
istration and the Maryland State
Board of Health, producers of cream
and manufacturers of butter will be
required to exercise even greater
care in the future in handling these
products. The ruling states that
cream or butter containing any for
eign matter, such as hair, insects, or
dirt, or which is decomposed or
putrid, will be considered as adult
Grated and will be subject to seizure
and condemnation.
It is pointed out by John A..
Conover, dairy specialist for the
University of Maryland Extension
Service. that while this ruling may
seem a bit drastic it is for the best
interests of the dairy industry and
will benefit the producer.

KING LEVINSKY
UNIMPRESSIVE IN
MASSERA WIN

New York, Feb 10-(UP)-King
Levinsky, Chicago's failing fish
peddler, to-day had taken a step
backwards from the world heavy
weight title.
The Kingfish, who was being
groomed for a crack at Primo Car.
nera's crown, won a colse 10-round
decision over Charley Massera OF
Pittsburg last night at Madison
Square Garden, but the verdict
was SO unpopular that New York
critics believe the grooming VIII
cease shortly.
Some 5000 fans, hooted and
tered the decision and some OF the
boxing writer's questioned 1t. Ref
cree Gunboat Smith cast the de-
Gliding ballot in Levinsky's favor
after the two judges disagreed.
Not So Good
Levinsky made miserable show
ing, In view of the to 1 odds in
his favor. The United Press score
sheet gave Levinsky five rounds;
Massera four, and one was even.
The blubbery fish outweighed
Massera 202 IL pounds to 1873 liz
but he resorted often to illegal tao
tics. He was warned twice for hit
ting low. Several times he slugged
his opponent while breaking from
clinches. He back-handed, used
his elbows and the Illegal rabbit
punch.
