Natures Children
Garden Spider miranda Aurantia).
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY,

THERE are days in August and
September when the fields
flower gardens and lawns are
strewn with fairy-like laces
In the early morning especially, when
the dew drops glisten like lustrous
pearls, your attention Is attracted to
the decorative industry.
Madam Miranda cannot travel her
silken cables until the pearls" evap-
all her telephone wires are cleared.
Even when a burly humble bee, early
rover of the clover fields, by a miscal-
culation lands in her booth" she re-
mains inactive. AS soon as the cables
are free Of the heavy water the fa-
NOUS trap setter comes out to truss
up her victim or repair her net.
You may watch the garden spider
weave her trap or snare. Revisit the
place where you saw the web earlier
In the day. If it has not been entirely
demolished by wind, animal, insect, or
in fact by any Of the dozens of foes
to spiders webs, all the weaver has
to do is to mend the broken stands.
Cautiously the garden spider inspects
her snare and begins in most me-
thodical fashion to weld together
broken ends or make new spokes and
cross wires.
The first thing spider has to do
when beginning q new web is to lay
down the foundation lines. She has
beforehand selected the space she in
tends to fill, and it is very cannily
placed in the path Of hurrying In
sects-her sole form of food. A line
is attached at the point of departure.
She crawls along, spinning a silk
thread as she goes, holding the new
silk in the claw Of her hind leg until
she reaches her objective. Then this
thread Is carefully anchored.
She tests its strength and tightens
1t carefully and returns on it, even
doubling it If there is to be a strain
upon it. Where lines cross, they are
securely glued together.
When a spider wishes to threw a
line across an opening, 1t Is flung to
the breeze to dry and to stick to some
object. Now the weaver can walk the
tightrope and send more lines out.
This is how great webs are swung
across the spaces between two tall
trees or buildings.
Garden spiders build geometrical
webs that are almost vertical in po-
sition and may be feet across. Here
the huntress waits patiently in the
center for the unwary insect to come
her way. She is buxom lass, more
than an inch long-her spouse quite
puny, as you can see. He builds small
snares and hovers near to catch in
sects that fall through. While this
is a precarious way to make a living,
spiders can fast for months with little
or no discomfort.
The golden garden spider sits in
the hub Of her lovely net and, instead
OF its being an open meshwork, as is
80 often the case, it Is Sheeted over
with tough silk. The central part of

The Romance Of Your Name.
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.
Gooktr

THIS surname occupied a promi-
nent place In the history of Eng
land even prior to the reign Of Henry
VIII. The Hooker family was one of
high social standing and considerable
wealth and was noted for the scholar
ly attainmentS of its sons and daugh-
ters
The Hooker family IN America.
which was early established in the
New England States, is traced to
Thomas Hooker of County Leicester.
England. He is referred to in old rec
ords as Thomas Hooker, gentleman,
indicating his social rank. He was
representative in County Leicester for
the powerful Digby family. which held
vast possessions there.
The Rev Thomas Hooker, the
pioneer of the family 10 the New
World, was a great-grandson OF the
Thomas above mentioned. The Rev.
Mr.. Hooker was born in 1886, in Coun-
ty Leicester, and upon attaining man
hood attended Emmanuel College,
Cambridge. In 1620-1625 he served
as rector of the parish of Esher, in
County Surry. He also filled various
other pulpits in different parts OF
England. During the period of re-
ligious upheaval he was prosecuted for
nonconformity to the established
church, and in 1929 left the church
to conduct a private school.
To escape further persecution he
went to Holland, where he preached
at Delfthaven and Rotterdam. He
acquired large following, and in 1888,
with a little band Of faithful adher-
ents, crossed the Atlantic to found
homes in America.
Arriving in Boston, the group pro-
ceeded to Cambridge. which was their
first settlement. In 1886 this brave
group was headed by the Rev. Thomas
Hooker, who, with a Bible In one
hand and musket in the other" led
them into the wilderness to found the
New Haven Colony, on the Connecti-
cut River. Thomas Hooker sponsored
the confederation of the American
Colonies in 1887 and has been called
the Father of American Democracy"

had taken them to the roof garden of

They had been hustled about. TO
the Lincoln Memorial and the Mon

self, to observe session Of Congress.
They were specially impressed by the
House of Representatives.
They talked rapidly to each other
in German. 1t seemed, upon second
inquiry, that the reporter had been
mistaken for an official Of the State
Department. No matter; no embar-
rassment.
There was something else you
would like to ask my husband?" said
Mrs. Mann. A few questions, yes,

reporter understood, Of course; there
was an appointment at T.

group receiving similar honors from
Harvard were his fellow German
exile, Albert Einstein, and United
States Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace.
Confessing to an old ambition to
write a novel for the American maga-
zines, the author added that one rea-
son motivating the desire was the
splendid returns our writer's received.
AS yet, however, he has gotten neither
the inspiration for such work nor any
publishers suggestion that he do one.
So that matter waits.

Nietsche. He is convinced there is
a closer connection between that
philosophers illness in his later life
and his subsequent genius than is
usually accorded by writers who have
analyZed his work. DR.. Mann will
write a critical biography of his life
and works, based mainly on a vast
knowledge of the Teuton pessimist's s
career and his own researches.
DR.. Mann and his wife, the latter
a gay, comely and most attractive per-

days in 1884. They made New York

first, and they are making every effort
to see all its points of interest.

KEYS OVERCOME
FIRE AND STORM
Mississippi Flyers Carry On
to Surpass Jackson
O'Brine Record.

MERIDIAN, Miss, June 90
Weathering tempest and overcoming
fire, AL and Fred Key, the long-dis-
tance Meridian flyers, today winged
their way past 600 hours of sustained
endurance flight.
The recognized official world record
was passed Thursday afternoon at
1880 pm. Central standard time on
their twenty-third day of continuous
flight over and around the Meridian
Airport and a new world record was
set an hour later.
Unsatisfied by Record.
But a new world record did not
satisfy the intrepid flyers, and the
brothers zoomed on in their attempt
to surpass the 647-hour flight of Dale
jackson and Forest O'Brine, which
was not officially recognized because
of an improper Paragraph.
The brothers asserted the endur-
ance plane, Ole Miss, was still per-
forming smoothly.
AL and Fred entered their 600th
hour of flight at 1882 pm. today
after they had run safely through a
night storm and had fought off a
morning fire in the planes battery.
Today, just after a refueling con-
tact. the planes battery burst into
flames, but AL Key, at the controls,
quickly shut off the ignition, pulled
down fire extinguisher and put out
the blaze. The plane dropped to
within 200 feet of the airport before
he gave her the gun again.
Must Make Satisfactory Landing.
For the Keys to claim the world
record they have set they must make
a satisfactory landing on the munich
pal airport, now called Key Field
from which they took off on June f.
The flyers we're buoyed in their
continued fight by $100-a-day
bonus for every day they remain aloft
over and above the world record, and
they have not yet announced any
immediate intention of coming down.
