Case Has Trick Shoulder.
GEORGE WASHINGTON CASE.
the rookie outf1elder. is not seri-
ously injured. Case was forced to
leave the game today in the sixth in
ming when he dislocated his left
shoulder sliding into second base.
Case disclosed this was the third
time it happened this year and that
he feels no i'll effects once it is
snapped back into place. The young
ster said that by the time he had
walked off the field after sustaining
the injury it was back in place.
Jimmy Wasdell, the stocky little
flrst-base recruit, is showing joey
Kuhel a few tricks. Not only has
Wasdell been outhitting Kuhel since
he was moved from the outfield to the
initial sack, but Wasdell today came
up with a play that was worthy of
Kuhel at his best.
Wasdell dove far to his right for
a great stab Of smash by Lou Gehrig.
So terrific was the force of the ball
when it struck the glove that Was
dell was facing the outf1eld when
finally he established that it was in
his mitt but so quickly did he regain
his feet and race to first that he
made the putout unassisted. 1t hap
pened in the eighth inning.

Yankee pitcher, was ribbing Jimmy
about home run Gehrig hit off
De Shong earlier in the season.
I'm convinced" answered De
Shong, that the best way to pitch to
the Yankee club is to get the first two
hitters, walk Di Maggie, Gehrig and
Dickey, and then see what you can
do about getting Powell out"
In the opening inning De Shong
walked Di Maggie and Gehrig. after
getting the first two men, but hitch
developed. Instead OF walking. Dickey

Brides of Granna Island
Wear Queens Headdress

Not orange blossoms but a crown
intended for a queen is the wedding
headdress of brides at Granna, Swe-
den, on the island Of Visingso in
Lake Vattern, one Of Sweden's larg-
est and finest lakes. Now over 300
years old, the crown was original
ly made for daughter Of the Brahe
family, which built the Castle of
Visingsborg and the Brahe church
on the island.
The girl, Ebba Brahe, was loved
by Gustavus Adolphus and the
crown was made for her wedding to
him, but for reasons Of state he was
forced to give her up and marry
a princess instead. The crown was
placed in the Brahe church, where
visitors to the island sometimes see
it worn by a bride Of the parish.
The castle built by the Brahe fam
lily was destroyed by fire in 1718 and
became an imposing ruin over-run
by vines. The family is also credit
ed with founding Granna, called by
travellers one of the loveliest towns
in Sweden. Besides being famous
for its beauty, Granna has a great
reputation as the Pear Town Of
Sweden. The original pear tree was
planted more than 300 years ago in
a hillside orchard near the one
street of the town, and long was
known as a national monument.

Cassia, Aromatic Bark,
Is Used for FlavorinR

CasSia is the aromatic bark de-
rived from cinnamomum cessna
Family Lauraceae). The greater
part Of the supply coming from
China, it sometimes is termed Chi
nese cinnamon. The bark is much
thicker than that of true cinnamon;
the taste is more pungent and the
flavor less delicate. although some
what similar to that Of cinnamon.
The properties of cassia bark de-
pend on the presence Of volatile
oil-the oil of cassia, which is i'm
ported in a fairly pure state as an
article of commerce from Canton.
Cassia bark is in much more ex-
tenSive demand on the continent Of
Europe than in Great Britain, being
preferred to cinnamon by southern
nations. The chief use is for flavor
ing liqueurs and chocolate, and in
cooking generally, says a writer IN
the Indianapolis News.
When ground as spice it is diff
ficult to distinguish cassia from Gin
namon and it is a common practice
to substitute the cheap common
spice for the more valuable article.
"Cassia buds" which have pleas
ing cinnamon flavor, are believed to
be the immature fruits Of the tree
which yields Chinese cinnamon.
They are brought in considerable
quantities from Canton, and used
as a spice and in confectionery.
"Cassia pulp" used as a medi-
cine, is obtained from the pods Of
Cassia Fistula, or pudding pipe
tree, a native of Africa which is Gull
tivated in both the East and West
Indies. Some confusion occasion
ally arises from the fact that "cas-
STA" is the generic name of an ex-
tensive genus of leguminous plants,
which, in addition to various other
medicinal products, is the source
of the SIENNA leaves which form an
important article Of materia medi-

Shakespeare Plays Not
"Best Seller" at Start

To find a publisher for collected
edition of Shakespeare's plays was
probably not as easy as we who
know the thousands Of editions into
which his works have gone might
conclude, according to an article by
Edwin E. Willoughby in Coronet.
In fact, five years after his death,
only one printer was willing to pub
hsh his complete works, and, had
he refused to undertake the risk OF
printing the volume, we might have
lost half of Shakespeare, for up to
that time only half Of his plays had
been printed-in pamphlet form.
But the danger that we should
lose the plays of Shakespeare was
by no means over when that printer,
William Jaggard, agreed to publish
them. Because it seemed doubtful
that such a venture would prove
profitable, Jaggard published sew
eral other books during the next
two years which he thought were
more important, and left Shakes
peare's plays lie around the shelves
of his print shop collecting dust.
Had he not resumed his work
from time to time during that Pc
Rod, it is quite possible that these
plays never would have survived.
But he finished the volume despite
many difficulties and in 1923, it
was offered to the world.
The book was evidently a moder-
ate financial success, although it did
not at first sell as rapidly as did
many other books of the time.

Longest and Shortest Days

The longest and shortest days Of
the year are determined By the
summer and winter solstices, the
exact time being determined by
mathematical calculation. The SOL
stices are the times Of the year
when the sun is at its greatest dec
lination. either north or south. For
instance. the summer solstice Is the
time when the sun reaches its farth-
est point In its swing northward
from the equator, which, according
ly, marks the longest day Of the
year. The year consists Of approx
imately 365A days, and it is this
fractional day Of each year which
causes the solstices to fiuctuate.
This is adjusted by the leap years.
However, the longest and shortest
days differ in length from the days
Immediately preceding and follow
ing them by only a fraction Of
minute.

Some Birds Choose Dark
Nest, Hide White Eggs

In nearly all cases, birds that lay
white eggs hide them in dark
places, while eggs that are covered
with brilliant markings on a colored
shell are left in exposed positions,
writes Oliver G. Pike. F. z. S., in
London Tit-Bits Magazine.
All the owls choose dark places
for their homes. and few make any
attempt at nest building. The eggs
Of the tawny owl are found in holes
in trees, and the decaying wood or
other rubbish at the bottom forms
the only nest. The barn owl chooses
a bare board or other ledge in the
sheltered corner Of any old build
ing, while the little owl is often con-
tent with a rabbit burrow on a
grassy bank. ALI these birds lay
pure white eggs with no markings.
Kinghshers and woodpeckers lay
white eggs, and build dark homes
in which to conceal them. The king
fisher is a clever engineer. She
makes a tunnel in a sandy bank
and, at the end Of this, which may
be four feet in length, she excavates
a larger chamber in which the nest
is made. This consists entirely of
undigested fish bones which she
casts up through the beak in the
form of white pellets.
The little SCANDINAVIAN also digs
out tunnel on a grassy bank, an
even more wonderful feat than that
Of the kingisher, which has a long
sharp beak well adapted for dig
ging, but the sand-martin has only
a tiny beak. She also lays white
eggs.
WoodpeckerS make their homes in
trees, boring through two or three
inches Of solid wood, then digging
out larger chamber in the heart
Of the trunk. The green woodpeck-
er is the best known of the several
species; in many country districts
it is called the wet weather bird"
because its loud notes are so often
heard just before rain. KingfiShers'
and woodpeckers' eggs are pure
white, have a gloss on their surface,
and the shells are so thin that the
yolk shows through, giving them a
dainty pink tinge.

Famous Shipmast Locust
Was Named bv a Mariner

It was Capt. John Sands, settler
Of Sands Point, L. l., who first rec
ognized the virtues of shipmaSt To-
Gust, according to Long Island ira
dition. Shipmast locust is a favored
farm tree used for fencing. Demast-
ed of Virginia by a storm In 100,
the story goes, he sent his sailors
ashore to nnd suitable trees for an
emergency rigging until port could
be reached. They brought back tall,
straight-grained boles Of what
seemed to be black locust, but
which differed in that the trees pro-
duced no seed and grew taller with
fewer low branches and a darker
heartwood. Strangely, search in
Virginia failed to discover any ma
tive plantations Of shipmast locust,
and the tradition cannot be con-
frmed. In fact. none has been OBJ
served south of Philadelphia.
Its seedless characteristic Is the
reason why shipmast locust has
been so limited In its spread. Com
mon black locust, a prolific produc-
er Of seed. spreads rapidly without
the help Of man. But only by la
borious grubbing can the necessary
root cuttings be gathered to propa-
gate the shipmast locust vegetative-
ly. Such was the method tradition
ally used by Captain Sands in trans

Narcissus Very Old

Long, long ago, in the dim history
of ancient civilization, we read Of
the narcissus being found in paint
ings and carvings in Egyptian
tombs. The same flower was fire.
quently used by the Greeks in their
ceremonial professions. In more
modern times we find that as far
back as 1929 the famous botanist
Parkinson wrote a treatise on the
narcissus, illustrating ninety varie-
ties. It Is a long and fascinating
journey which this flower has taken
through the ages down to the Won
derful creations. The name narcis-
sus was given to this botanical genus
by Linnaeus, the great Swedish bot
anist, after a beautiful youth, who,
Greek mythology relates, was trans
formed into this flower. VI

Alden, Gibraltar of East"


Alden was Great Britain's first ter
ritorial acquisition during the reign
Of Queen Victoria. In 1888 an Eng
lish vessel was wrecked in the
vicinity Of the town, and the crew
and passengers were detained by
the local Abdali chief. While nego-
tiations were pending to settle this
incident, acts of ''treachery'' were
committed, and a military force
was sent from Bombay under Major
Baillie. Alden was seized by this
expedition on January 10, 1889, and
from that time until recently had
been part of the Bombay presiden-
cy.

CrOsscut and Ripsaws

Crosscut saws are used to cut
through the fibers Of the material,
while ripsaws are used when the
material is to be separated in a
direction parallel with the fibers. In
the latter case the teeth usually are
large and are set, that is, alternate
teeth are bent in opposite directions
away from the strip proper, so that
the cut made by the saw Is some
what wider than the thickness of
metal.
