When they came in sight of the pond
he signaled them to stop while he
stole forward in order to get a better
view and see If Paddy or Mrs. Paddy,
or both. were out.
He could see nothing of them, so
finally he beckoned the others to join
him. Then he led the way around so
as to get below the dam and approach
the pond from that direction. He had
two reasons for this One was that
the dam afforded a little cover for
their approach, and the other was
that the approach would be from down
wind. That means that the wind,
what there was of it, would be in their
faces, blowing from the pond toward
them, instead of carrying their scent
to any one who might be in or around
the pond.

Banyan Tree (Ficus bengalensis).

so many centuries gone by the popJ-
lar name still used today. It is, in
truth, a fig tree and its scientific name
is Ficus bengalensis. In the Bible it
is referred to thus: Thou shalt rest
under thine own vine and fig cree
Here in our own country this is being
done IN southern Florida. Those vino
own them pay them the homage and
reverence that is shown them in their
native land. There are some very
fine specimens in Honolulu and other
tropical countries.
One of the very first things YOU
notice in the trees is the root system
They reverse every known tree ira
dition by sending their branches down
to become roots. These in turn become
accessory trunks. The tree spreads
over a very large area, since several
thousand small trunks are developed.
On the Nerbudda River there IS a
banyan with over three thousand
trunks and it is claimed that as many
as 1000 people can stand comfortably
between them. In old age the tree
becomes so surrounded by supporting
root-trunks that the original one dies
and finally drops away, the younger
trunks supporting the vast crown of
the parent tree and sustaining it.
The flowers of this tree are not
snowy and are replaced later by beau-
tiful scarlet. cherry-shaped fruit which
grows in pairs from the axis of the
leaves. Monkeys love them. Though
the little rascals gorge themselves
with the fruit, tossing the seeds to the
ground, few of them terminate. That
is wise. There would be no room for
them, but the birds take the fruit
away. scattering the seeds among the
palms. Here they grow quickly and
finally kill the palm that has helped
them grow. The leaves are 5 to 6
inches long, heart-shaped, and thatch
the tree completely, making a canopy
that keeps out the sun and the rain.
The Hlndus use the bark for medi-
cinal purposes, claiming it is a Won
derful tonic. They use the white
juice to relieve tooth and ear-ache and
inflammation of stone bruised soles.
The faith of the Hindu in his sacred
tree is great and that no doubt aids
the restoration to health.

length of life, the banyan tree has
been widely planted. 1t is a joy to all
those who live in climate acceptable
to it.
The name banyan is Hindu word.
In the language of the early Hindu
merchants it was bantam" for the
reason that under It's kindly shade and
between its hundreds of great roots,
the space was used for market stalls.
The traders coming from far and
near set up their wares and estab-
lished their places as regularly as we
find farmers today coming to a recog-
nized market place, displaying their
products in prescribed areas.

old Mother Nature,

FARMER BROWNS BOY had told
his cousins, Sue and Sammy, that
deep in the Green Forest was pond,
and in it was the house of Paddy the
Beaver. Ever since he had first mem
toned it they had leased him to take
them to see it, so now they actually
were on their way. They were full of
questions as they made their way
through the Green Forest.
do you really think we will see
Paddy and Mrs. Paddy?" asked Sue.
1T all depends on you," replied her
cousin.
How does it depend on us, Tom
my?" asked Sammy.
IF you tell them that we are coming
you won't see them" replied Tommy.
Who's going to tell them that we're
coming?" demanded Sammy, and
stepped on a dry stick that broke with
snap.
You are if you can't walk more
carefully" replied Tommy.
Wasn't there any pond at all there
before the Beavers came?" Sue wanted
to know.
Tommy shook his head. There was
nothing but the Laughing Brook" he
replied. Paddy and Mrs Paddy made
that pond ny themselves, with the help
of the Laughing Brook"
Il don't see how they did it, being
just animals, with nothing but their
teeth and claws to work with" Sue
declared
They built dam, that's ALL" re-
piled Tommy, quite as if building a
dam was nothing at ALL They built
the dam, and the dam stopped the
flow of the Laughing Brook, and this
made the pond. Well be in sight of
1t pretty soon, and if you don't stop
asking questions and move as silently

Director Of Midwife Assn.
COnferS With Local Units

NJ SIS Julia Graves, director of
the State Midwife association, ae-
companied by DIR. James B. PARA
more, director of the Monroe
County Health Unit and Com
munity Clinic, were recently well
coined callers at The Citizen Of
flee.
Miss Graves stated that at the
meeting she held of the midwives
in Key West there was 100 per-
cent attendance, and this could
be said of but one other county
in the state.
As a result of the demonstra-
tons of new methods of caring for
the mothers and infants, Miss
Graves said, she was confident
that the death rate among mothers
and infants would be materially
reduced in Key West.
Too much stress cannot be
placed on the Importance of the
proper care and attention which
must be gwen the mother and her
newborn child, for it is due to
lack of proper care both before
and after the child comes into the
world that the death rate has re-
manned so high, Miss Graves said.
And she was pleased to say
that she was glad that the local
heath department had given the
fullest cooperation in this matter
of the most Importance to moth
ers and children
DR.. Parramore said, in conjunc-
ton with Miss Graves, that with

children.

COMMENT ON
DISPLAY OF
FAMILY WASH
CLAIMS THAT DISPLAY OF
CLOTHES ON FRONT
PoRcHEs NOT VERY PLEAS.
ANT SIGHT

40h, look there at that display
of. lingerie and other kindx II
wearing apparel decorating the
front porch of that house across
the street." said a young woman
visitor who was passing a certain
house on one of the well-travel'ed
thoroughfares in Key West.
Her companion expressed the
thought that the dwellers in the
home may be of a number so large
that every available space in the
yard had been used up and it be-
came necessary to hang out the
small clothes and undertakings on
the lines on the front porch.
"But certainly not" said the
first speaker. "This is not the first
time 1 have seen clothes hanging
all over the front porch of houses
in Key West. Why this is done
am not prepared to say, but t is
not very pleasing sight for wish
tors who have heard so many
things said about the city and its
beauty and attraetiveness,. to ride.
along a nicely kept street with a
pleasing view, and suddenly be
confronted with the sight Of the
family wash hanging out on the
upstairs front porch, that all the
public may see."
And her companion agreed that
she was right, but suggested that
there may be some reason for this
which they did not realize, but also
agreed that the sight was not
pleasing, especially to the visitor.
