Dut oOeS not meprlate, Ike SO much,
else that belongs to China, are lost
in antiquity. We do have authentic
evidence, however, that it has been
used there for many centuries, and has
occupied . position. both there and
in Japan, in the daily lives of the
people which 1t will never attain In
the Western World. The Oriental,
with his inborn love of symbolism,
has made Of the simple fact of drink
ing tea q charming, and to Western
minds, inexplicable ceremony. Each
small act Of the function Of serving
and drinking becomes symbolic of
some higher thing, even the tea house
itself representing an escape from the
sordidness Of everyday existence.
From the selection of the leaves until
the last drop Is consumed each step
is performed with q care that becomes
ritual.
One Chinese writer of the eighteenth
century, describing the leaves to be
gathered to brew q worthy cup says
they must have 'creases like the
leather boot of Tartar horsemen, curl
like the dewlap Of q mighty bullock,
unfold like . mist arising out of a
ravine, gleam like a lake touched by
the zephyr, and be wet and soft like
fine earth newly swept by rain" At
the coronation Of q recent Emperor
OF Japan the tea leaves were picked
by young women students who had
earned the honor by outstanding
scholarship.
WHILE We of the West, with our
less romantic minds, fail to see
IN tea all that the Oriental does, still
1t has played no mean part in our
affairs. 1t was the end of the six
teenth century before Europe heard
Of tea. at which time some travellers
from Holland to the Orient returned
with the news that a very delicious
drink was much used in the East
which was somehow concocted from
the leaves Of bush.
About the year 1910 the first tea
was actually taken into Europe by the

the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and had

sovereign for the honor Of the ma

tea that came into England through
legitimate channels sold at 80 to 50
shillings a pound. Perhaps this fact
had something to do with the tiny
size Of early teapots and teacups.
~
ONE Of the strange customs preva-
lent about this time was the fact
that when lady finished her cup OF
tea, she gave the cup tap with the
spoon, which was a sign for the ac-
companying gentleman to take it
from her. If she desired more, shs
left the cup in its usual position; II no
more, the cup was turned upside down
in its saucer.
Dear Mrs. Higgins, what? Your
cup
Turned in your saucer, bottom upl
Dear me, how soon you've had your
fill.'
Then to come down TO the years
OF our own early struggle. every school,
boy knows the story of the Boston
Tea Party and the part it played in
bringing on the Revolution. Our fore
fathers had brought with them from
the mother country the taste for tea
and objected seriously to its heavy
taxation. However, it became matter
of patriotism to abstain from its use.
AS substitute, they drank brews made
from several kinds of dried leaves, cat
nip. sage. raspberry and drink called
yaupon as made by the Indians of
North Carolina was much used
Typical of many of the poems which
found their way into print at about
this time is the following:
Farewell the tea board with its
gaudy equipage
OF cups and saucers, cream bucket,
sugar tongs.
The pretty tea chest also. lately

Full many a joyous moment I've

Hearing the girls tattle, the old
maids talk scandal,
And the spruce coxcomb laugh

loved liquor.
Though now detestable.
Because I'm taught. and believe
it true,
It's use will fashion slavish chains
upon my country.
For liberty's the goddess I would
choose
To reign triumphant in America.
And today. in our modern homes,
the tea things come nearer to repre-
senting the heart of that home than
perhaps anything else. AS the old
Chinese saying tells us: 1T Is good
for a man to get home to his own

The Old Gardener Says:

The Fall planting of roses Is
now accepted as good gardening
for all sections of the country
except those where the tempera-
ture runs extremely low. ANA
teurs may be sure that the rose
plants they buy at this season are
freshly dug and that they have
good roots. They should be set
in the ground with the knob on
the stalks about 2 inches beneath
the surface, and the soil should
be firmed around them with the
feet. It Is not necessary to use .
great amount of water ut this
season, but the roses should be
thoroughly protected for Winter
by being filled up with earth and
by having loose straw. salt hay
or some other material spread
around them. The only fertilizer
to use when roses are being
planted In the Fall Is bone meal,
which Is slow acting and will
show Its results next Summer.

 Conflicting planetary influences are active today, according to as trology. Newspapers this week may bring news of supreme inter est to merchants, manufacturers and reporters.
 Women are subject to ill omen under this sway which seems to be favorable only to those who avoid public service. Home is the haven that will be best for young and old. In politics both principal parties may antagonize leaders among wo- men, for the stars seem to presage monopoly of power by men who have allowed the sisters, cousins and aunts do much hard work un- der their direction.
 According to the seers coming months are to bring readjustments in the business, professional and political status of women who will make insistent demands for equal ity of opportunity.
 This opportunity begins with the promise of clear thinking on the part of the public which will feel the stimulating effects of autumn prosperity. Confidence and opti- mism should be prevalent under this configuration.
 Agreements and contracts are well directed today. It is a for tunate time for the signing of im- portant legal documents. There is an aspect which seems to indicate closer relations between Gre t Britain and the United States.
 Labor is to be disturbed by or- ganizational changes in leadership and by extraordinary demands up- on industry. Saturn is read as re- vealing portents of wide interest. Radio now is to be affected by widespread plans that may alter present methods of broadcasting After the election astrologers fore tell the introduction of policies that assure strong programs which may cost money to those who lis en.

JAMES COUZENS

Many have risen to financial success but few have risen to large fortune so suddenly as did Senator James Couzens of Michigan, whose sudden death was recorded this week and handled it ably after acquiring it. Couzens from $40 month to millions annually but he the kind who carried on in the same charitable straightforward manner after being wealthy as he did in the owly sta- tion of life One biographer wrote of him:
 If one sets out to analyze the character of James Couzens he finds it moded of many things, of sef-contro of self denial of hard labor of unselfish expenditure of energy for the common veal for example but above all of great charity"
 To write the story of the life of James Couzens is to tell large part of the history of the Ford Motor Company.
 Couzens went to Detroit when he IS years old and obtained job checker at $40 a month Previously he had been train butcher between Sarnia and Rondeau ontario. He spent five years at checking and then went into the offices of the Michigan Central Railroad.
 From the railroad offices ne went with A. Y. Malcomson bookkeeper in coal yard, later to become manager of a branch office in Toledo.
 It was in 1903 that Henry Ford and James Couzens met and the industrial epic of Detroit began It about through Macomson, who in offering to advance Ford capital to start his third automotive ven ture stipulated that he Malcomson) should name representative in the management The man he named was James Couzens and Couzens' duty was to see that the s30o0 Malcomson had promised to ad- vance was not needessly dssipated and also to try to line up investors.
 Couzens became secretary of the company, but the men who worked in the plants he really was re- garded the general manager. For 13 years he was the business of the greatest of motor factories The company met with immediate financial success. In the first year paid out $1200O in dividends MT Couzens originally purchased 25 shares at $100 share paying $lO00 in cash and giving notes for the re- mander. Subsequently he acquired 85 additional shares and when stock dividend of 1900 per cent was declared he came into possession of total of 2180 shares.
 It generally has been regarded as largely due to Couzens' keen financial administration that un to the time the stock of the minority share holders taken by Henry and Edsel Ford in 1919 total dividends paid out by the company amounted to $96 290 1885 96 This 16 years after the company was organized.
