Who Are You?
Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

THIS name has been q most dis
= tinguished one in America, the
first settlers who bore 1t descending
from the ancient Darlington family
Of Cheshire, England.
Col. George Darlington the Vir-
ginia colonist, was the first Of the
name in this country. He was the
son Of DR.. Paul Darlington of the Is
land Of Barbados. His marriage to
Anne Mayo connected the family
with another eminent house, and
their IL children are the antecedents
of most Of the Carringtons in America
today.
Edward Darlington, the eighth child,
became a distinguished officer in the
Revolution. His grandson. Col. Henry
A. Darlington, was lieutenant colonel
in the 18th Virginia Infantry. He was
a brilliant soldier, who served in 20
battles. He was three times wounded
and was taken prisoner at Gettysburg.
There are many descendants of
this family now living in different Sec
tions Of the United States.

grow large quantities. Over 10000
acres are planted in the United States
and are valued at about $1,000, 900.
This amount does not take into &C
count the 10000 acres planted to
them for pickles.
Of course, you know that when
plant grows over such wide area
of country, it adapts itself to a w.
riety of soils. The first requisites are
good soil and drainage, as well as Sc
lected seed. When you know that
it takes less than pounds of seeds
to plant an acre of ground, you can
see why it is best to purchase the
best quality.
Cucumber seeds are sturdy, and re-
tain their vitality for as long as five
years, If the moisture and tempera-
ture are favorable. However, it is
wise not to plant seeds more than
3 years old. The best seed houses
even go so far as to treat their seeds
with an organic mercury compound.
This is to rid them of fleld-borne dis
eases.
Growers wishing to continue fine
type of vegetable, save their own
seeds If their neighbors are not so
ambitious, the work of the careful
ones goes for naught. Bees are after
pollen. They are not choosy, so they
cart the inferior grade over to the Sc
lected one and in trice the twain
are one.
The cucumber plant produces two
types of flowers, male and female,
pistillate and staminate. The pale
flowers have an abundance of pollen
and bloom first. Then the little fe-
male flowers come along.
AS the plant depends absolutely
upon her bee guests to transfer the
pollen, wild and tame bees come in
vast armies to pack their market
baskets full to the brim with the
precious golden flour. There is no
more businesslike group to be seen
in the world than these bees. No
time is lost quarreling, gossiping or
dallying. Take a seat near a cucum-
Der patch and see what thrifty folks
these little ladies are. Sometimes they
have time getting into the air, they
have pollen piled so high on their
knees.
About the time the little seed has
pushed its way out Of the ground the
striped beetle sticks his head out of
his cell, to see if his tender green Gu
cumber leaves are ready. He even
ships them off at the stem. Then along
come other enemies. They are
secretive lot. Under the leaf they
gather in colonies. They are louse-
like in appearance and suck the life
blood from the plant. You will notice
the leaves curl, fade and die. Nico-
tine is too much for their digestive
apparatus. A nice busting of this will
be fatal to them. There are other
enemies, but this is just to remind
you of what the grower and the Gu
cumber must do to outwit their
enemies in order to reach your door.

Question Mark.
BY JOHN BLAKE.

nON'T ask too many questions. I"
~ How often do you hear a peevish
father. who thinks he Is busy, make
this observation? Fortunately for the
child, however, something inside Of
him makes him curious about every
thing he sees and he continues to ask
as many questions as before.
It might be said that education con-
sists of questions and answers. The
scientist is always asking questions
of men or of natural phenomena.
Isaac Newton's questioning under the
apple tree solved the problem Of why
things fall down instead Of up.
Today millions OF dynamos and
motors and other electric apparatus
are doing much Of the worlds work.
Benjamin Franklin was one of the
first to ask questions about the forces
of electricity. With his kite he
brought some of it down from the
clouds and tucked it away in a bottle,
where subsequent questions could be
propounded without going out in the
rain.
Birds and beasts take most things
for granted. They have curiosity, but
it is satisfied as soon as they discover
if something they see or smell is what
they think it Is. II 1t is baffiingly
different they do not bother their wits
any more about it.

yond what they should eat and what
they should drink and wherewithal
they should be clothed. the American
Indians didn't bother their brains.
And had not the country been taken
over by men and women Of European
birth they would still be living in
teepees and feeding on the flesh of
wild animals and Indian corn.
The beginnings Of the newspaper in
your hand were made when Gutenberg
began to wonder why the letters of
the alphabet could not be made on
movable type, thus making 1t possible
to put thoughts and ideas down with
out the painful process Of writing them
on scrolls.
Think about what you see. Find out
about 1t. Ask questions about it.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.

To "rise with the lark" is to get up
early in the morning. It Is an express
sion with which we are all familiar,
and would suggest a poetic origin.
This has been variously attributed to
the considerable number of poets who
have used it for the past few hundred
years.
A well known eighteenth century
use of the phrase is Rise with the
lark, and with the lark to bed" That
is by James Hurdis in "The Village
Curate." However, a century and a
half earlier we find in Breton's Court
and Country ITO rise with the lark
and go to bed with the lamb" which
Is similar to the first use of 1t in the
sixteenth century by John Lyly, in his
immortal "Euphues and His England"
as follows: "Goe to bed with the
lambe, and rise with the larke"

LONDON, Sept. IA host of Americans-with one woman, Lady Astor, the most famous among them-have, like Dick Wilmington, made good in London town.
 The achievement of Lady Astor, who was born in Virginia, will stand for all time, for she is the first woman to sit in the Mother of Parliaments.
 It was her American-born hus- band, Viscount Astor, who, she has said. started me off on this downward career-from home to House"
 Unlike her, many who have achieved success under the Brit ish flag have done so as direct outcome of careers launched in the United States.
 Chisf among them are H. Gordon Selfridge, the Wisconsin boy, who is London's merchant prin e.; Lord Ashf,eld, cne-time Detroit messenger who is the metropolis's tran port king; Wilson Cross, prom inent oil executive, and Chester Beatty, mining magnate.
 Launched New Careers
 Two of tn e m-Selfridge and Beatty-retired after making for tunes in America, found retire ment disagreeable, and launched new careers an ocean away from their first successes.
 It was 25 years ago that Self ridge ccnfounded the English by opening tne doors of massive de- partment store run on American business lines-an act of sheer im- pudence, many thought.
 f the merchant was sure of his principles, which he had learned in his rise from a S10-a-week stock boy in Fields basement in Chicago to membership in the firm, London was as sure that this enterprising Yankee was riding for a fall.
 Like Flying Blind
 But Selfridge prospered. He did not show his misgivings in the first two or three lean years, but today he says: ITO come to this great place-London-was almost like flying blind in an airplane.
 My greatest difficulty" he con- tinued, was my absence of knowl- edge of the psychology of the peo- pie of these islands. I was totally unacquainted with the mentality of the English people"
 The esteem he has gained among the shall shopkeepers of his early days who, he says, were ready to shoot me or commit suicide" was shown recently when 1,500 of them banded together to give him a dinner of congratulation on the

Bert Whee-er and Robert Woolsey, supported by Thelma Todd ana Dorothy Lee. are closing tonight at the Capitol Theatre in Hips, Hips, Hooray," title which has no connection whatever with the film.
 Miss Todd's business, Maiden America. is doing poorly, despite the efforts of scantily clad girls i.l store windows and the like. Miss Lee, one of the girls, finds her sales ruined by two lipstick- selling fakirs. Wheeler and Woolsey, and when Wheeler falls in love with her, she persuaded them, thinking them big business men, to aid Miss Todd Woolsey falls with amusing force for Miss Todd. who does what she can to assist his descent.
 George Meeker, Miss Todd's man. aeer, is robbing her to aid her competitor, with whom he is work ing. When Wheeler and Woolsey meet Miss Todd and Miss Lee, they 6ecoy a security broker out of his ffice and take it over. When he returns they make a hasty exit, accidentally taking bag similar to the one they brought, but con- timing $1O0,000 in securities. Two olmb detectives go on their trail, and when things become warm, they depart. Miss Todd has entered a car in a cross-country race hop ing to gain by the publicity if it wins. The pair discover the car when the drivers, hired by Meeker, abandon it, and continue the race, with obstacles overcome by maneuv- CTS utterly ridiculous, but equally entertaining.
