Natures Children
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Western service berry has much larger
and more juicy fruit. In many coun-
tries it is planted as an ornamental
tree.
This genus is also found in South
ern Europe, Northern Africa, China
and Japan. Some appear in South
western Asia and in Eastern and
Western North America. CONNER
cially. the shad bush is of little i'm
portance It's small size and timber
having no special merit in the wood
using industries, the tree is one whose
purpose in life is to brighten the
places where she finds herself and
give freely of her fruit to man, beast
and bird-enough mission in itself for
the tree to be listed as an important
one.
You will find that it is slender, with
round top, and rarely reaching over
25 feet in height or course, there
are few that have reached 35, and
even 40, fe.t, but they are too few
and far between. The branch forma-
ton gives a dense appearance and
when the flowers or leaves cover it
the tree has very filled-out aspect.
The silky infant leaves in the
Spring are red-broWn and hang limp
and helpless. Their two halves are
folded together on the midrib, and
unless you know they are there and
where to look you will not see them
hidden under the flowers, SO modest
are they. Later you will appreciate
them, as they hurriedly unfold when
the flowers depart.
All Summer the fruit cluster will
make it easy for you to distinguish
your tree. That is, of course, if the
birds have not been too busy. Look
at the long, branching stems and, even
II the red berries are missing. you
may find few undeveloped ones.
Bird lovers have been interested in
planting the shad bush for their
feathered friends. 1t will grow easily
and will broaden out into a very
shapely tree. 1t appreciates room and
sunlight. To the birds it is, indeed
a welcome sight. as it has been to
the bees earlier in the season.

Adds to General CayeY Of Ch|ds Life
Dotted Swiss Frock Presents
Features Which Give Air
of Youthful Chic.
BY BARBARA BELL,

IT'S a wise mother who starts the
interesting business of outfittlng
her children before Summer sets
in: eleventh-hour decisions and
last-minute planning usually lead
to the accumulation of a diSorganized
wardrobe that contributes none of the
admitted joy that one should get out
of pretty. carefully chosen clothes.
The lovely little frock, Sketched' Is
one that will add to the general gayety
of any child'S life, and the chances
are that she will look decidedly beau
tiful in tiff not, she will, at least,
be able to wear it with an air of
youthful chic.
Like most of this Summers frocks
for children. this one is simple and
practical. Its distinction is in the
beauty of the material which is st.
Gaul Swiss. The background is a
dazzling white, dotted over with prim-
rose yellow or pink With its short,
full skirt, puffed sleeves and ruffled
trimming, there's decidedly an air
about it that is old-fashioned and
charming. Boomers of self material
are made to go with it, and the cool
comfort children find in these brief
little garments should be consider
alton with mothers.
Materials that are less expensive
than Swiss make very pretty little
dresses. Dimity and handkerchief
lawn, both figured and plain. are un-
usually popular. They wash perfectly
and are easy to iron.

one of the most beautiful sights in
early Spring. About it the other
trees may appear dead and the bare
boughs show little sign of life. This
tree sounds the bugle call for many
of her neighbors to don their lovely
new raiment and rejoice.
To many this tree is known as the
June-berry. or service berry No one
really objects to its first name be-
cause the sweet, juicy, red berry, with
its l0-celled core, is ripe at this time.
Possibly service berry appealed to the
one naming it as fruit serving both
man and bird. Many like the name
of Indian cherry and sugar plum
better

with its flowers borne in clusters of

Don't Guess
BY JOHN BLAKE.

IF THERE were no guesses there
would be no lotteries; if there
were no lotteries, some millions of
people would not lose the money they
put up when they take chances which
| are so small as to be practically neg
| ligible.
! When Isaac Newton noticed an
apple fall in his fathers orchard he
did lot content himself guessing why
it fell down instead of up. He had
at the time no information on that
subject. Probably he asked elder
people SO many questions about it that
they shuddered when they saw him
approaching.
No grown-up person likes to be
asked questions when he doesn't
know the answers. But the Newton
boy refused to be satisfied with the
explanations that we're given to him.
He thought over that problem till
at last he concluded that there was
some force which controlled the ap-
| pies movements. Today that force,
which no man or woman had under
stood before, is being used to dc about
! three-quarters OF the really hard
I physical work that is being per-
| formed on this planet, as well as con-
| trolling the movement Of the planet
itself
Don't guess. Know. Know all that
there is to be known. Ours may not
be any more interesting or so greatly
interesting, as some OF the other
planets, but it is the only one upon
which this race Of ours will ever
dwell. Our job is to find out more
about it. as we study it.
Don't be contented merely with
looking at trees and flowers. Find
out as much about them as you can.
Already, thanks to Newton, you know
why water flows down instead of -p.
Build on that.
! Ask yourselves questions and try to
answer them. Questions and answers
compose learning. And if you do not
constantly learn. YOU will be of as
little value to your fellow dWellGrs on
| the earth as is the snow you sweep
from the streets after storm. Less
value, indeed, for the snow meltS and
waters the plants, or joins rivers that
turn mill wheels and produce power
| Try to be something more than a
| guest on the earth. Nothing brings
| such self-satisfaction as to know thai
you are doing something, building
something, bringing into the world
some useful thing that has never been
known before.

stared down in the water
l. where he had last seen it. At
first he saw nothing but sticks
and dead rushes and leaves on the
bottom. Then he saw something
move. 1t disappeared under a leaf,
appeared again, only to disappear un-
der another leaf. Then funny little
head popped out of the water right
beside the old log on which Jerry was
sitting, and a second later a funny
little fellow climbed out right up on
the log and sat looking up at Jerry
with pair of bright beautiful eyes.
IT'S a fine evening"" said the fun
ny little caller
Jerry blinked down at him. Did
you say something?" he asked.
Il said it is a fine evening. Don't
you think SOP"
Jerry nodded. Il do" said he. ut
is very fine evening. But who are
you? Are you one of the Frog chill
dren or are you one of Old Mr.. Toad's
children?"
I'm neither" retorted the small
person, swelling himself out indig-
nantly. Have you lived all your life
around the Smiling Pond without
learning that there are no Frog chill
dren of my size out as early as this,
and that the Toad children leave the
Smilind Pool in the Summer and
don't return until they are grown?
You certainly haven't seen or heard
Old Mr.. Toad yet"
That is true" admitted Jerry. "Of
course, knew about the Frog and the
Toad children, but it had slipped my
memory. But if you are not a Frog
or a Toad. who are you?"
Il didn't say I'm not a Frog" re-
torted the bright-eyed midget on the
log. Il am Frog. OF course. l am a
Frog. What I said was that am not
one of the Frog children. I'm not a
child"
L suppose that you mean by that
that you are grown up" remarked
Jerry.
Certainly I'm grown up" retorted
his funny little caller, and once more
swelled himself out until Jerry had to
grin.
What are you grinning at?" de-
manded the other Indignantly.
Nothing. Nothing at ALL" replied
Jerry hastily. 1T was my mistake.
You see you are such a tiny fellow" q"
What has size to do with being
grown up?" demanded the other.

Reciprocal trade agreements with

year. when he was chairman of the
American delegation.

parted. the White House saw fit to

Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September The
Security Commissions rules on trad
ing in unlisted issues cleared I'D much
confusion that had existed on ex-
changes dealing in both listed and
unlisted securities. The rules also
promise to provide data for the COM
mission, which must report on un-
listed securities to Congress by 1885.
These rules brought predictions
that many unlisted" issues would
become listed" and the predictions
raised queries about the attitude Of
exchanges toward listing securities.
The New York Stock Exchange, for
instance, never tries to induce cor
porationS to list their securities. The
philosophy Of the exchange always
has been that any attempt on its part
to seek istings would force it to offer
attractions. And the exchange al
ways insists on being in position to
compel obedience to its rules and reg
ulationS.
Corporations that fail to report
earnings, make annual statements
available before annual meetings and
otherwise keep within rules are faced
with the possibility of having their
securities stricken from the list.
Since a deliSting from the largest
market place in this country would
affect the immediate market value Of
security, corporations must accept
the exchange rules.
The same general attitude toward
"listed" securities prevails on the Curb
Exchange. There, of course, members
are responsible for bringing about
trading in all unlisted" issues.
The recent easing Of curb listing
rules-it permitted out-of-town cor
porations to maintain transfer and
registrar offices outside Of Manhat-
tan-was for the purpose Of encour-
aging unlisted" corporations to be-
come "listed" corporations. These
rules were not for the purpose Of at
tracing out-of-town local securities
to the Curb Exchange.

COTTON FOLLOWS
DOWNWARD TREND
Southern Hedging and Fears
Over Labor Troubles
Bring Reaction.
By the Associated Press.

-
NEW YORK, September 1.-While
there have been occasional rallies on
trade buying and covering, cotton
worked into new low ground for the
movement during the last week under
somewhat increased Southern hedging
and liquidation promoted by nervous
ness over the textile labor situation.
General business was restricted dur
ing the earlier part of the period, but
became more active following the
issuance of the strike order by labor
leaders, and December broke to 1912
during yesterdays trading, making
decline of about IS points from the
high price touched right after the
publication of the August crop figures.
This evidently left the market in
an improved technical position, but
aside from covering or trade buying
demand was restricted. December
closed last night at 1928, compared
with 13.49 at the close of the previous
week.
The first three of the private end
August crop reports published during
the week were somewhat conflicting.
One, placing the indicated yield at
GALS, 900 bales, showed an increase of
5000 bales, as compared with its last
months figures. The other two showed
a falling off, one placing the indicated
yield at 8,7SOO00 and the other at
8,604,00 bales.
