A. Cypress knees are growths that
come from the roots, and are found just
above the surface Of the water. 1t Is
reasonable to assume that these knots
are used for breathing purposes to give
aeration that the roots need. They also
are of great help in supporting the tree.
The knees occur mostly where water
covers the surface for long periods and
their height corresponds rather closely
to the average high-water level for the
locality. Occasionally they reach heights
OF from 8 to 10 feet above the low water
mark. Trees in soft soils have larger
and stronger knees than those in flrmer
soils.

OSSIE STEWART STEPPING
ALONG

Ossie Stewart, sensational Colored
middleweight, is reported to be on a
rampage down Australia way. Stewart
is an established favorite in the land
down-under; the fight fans there are
hailing his as the next middleweight
champ. The Smokey City fighter
recently stopped sgd Brown, highly
touted jamaican middleweight in two
frames. Both a good boxer and stiff
puncher he disposed of the Jamaican
in brief fashion. Stewart practically
started his ring career in this vicinity;
engaging in contests in Boston, Port
land, Bangor and Augusta. His last
bout in New England took place in
Portland, at the Exposition Building.
His opponent was Haywood Storey,
another sepia middleweight hailing
from Chicago. The bout, on that occa-
sion, ended in draw. That was about
year ago.

MONTANEZ AFTER A MATCH
WITH ARMSTRONG

Pedros MontaneZ, the sensational
Porto Rican lightweight socker, has
made a successful comeback in the
ring, winning his last five fights via
the kayo route. The latest victim of
his onslaughts is Irish Ambrose
Logan, reputed to be the upset kid of
the lightweight division. Well, the
little brown-skinned boy from Porto
Rico did the up-setting in their meet
ing, putting the tough and game
youngster away in five heats, only
after Ambrose took an unmerciful
beating. Montanez has met defeat but
once since landing on these shores, and
that occurred in a clash with Lou
Ambers. He has record second only
to Henry Hank" Armstrong, the
double-crown boss, in brilliancy. Mon
tanez, due to the fact that he too is a
good "in-fghter," is expected to give
"Hammerin' Hank" plenty of trouble
if they ever clash; and, if the little
Portorican continues to move forward
as he has since his return to the ring,
these two will certainly be sitting in
opposite corners in the not too distant
future. Look out thar, "Hank"-he's
a-comin'!

form displayed by him. He dashed out
front with the distant honor of being
the star performer of the night. The
Medford ace won the high hurdles, fin

in addition to that feat, he ran a win

off with a swish over the barriers. Hall
breezed over the first barrier well ahead
of Digger. However, breezing into the

SWEET SIXTEEN
A Column for You Alone

The time has come, I think, for
the teen-age girl to come into her
share of the li1nelight. We've con-
cerned ourselves with the woman of
forty, the housewife, the working
girl, and the thirty-year-old, but
"sweet sixteen" has been left to
CLEAN such hints as she needs from
them. So we will devote this
column entirely to her.
Your Charms Are Natural
Many years ago someone gave me
this bit of advice which I am going
to pass on to you. Just because
you are in high-school now or pos
slbly even on the verge of gradual
ing and are allowed to go out at
night and have "real dates" don't
initiate your elders too much.
There's time enough to be "grown-
up" Your youth is your biggest
drawing card, if you will only real
ize it. Don't cover your fresh Young
skin with thick coatings of make
up A light busting of powder and
a faint tracing of lipstick should be
sufficient to set off your youthful
charms. Wait until you are little
older to use mascara and eve
shadow. Your eyes are clear and
sparkling enough without artificial
aids.
Now is the time to build up habits
Of cleanliness and beauty which will
serve you well in later years. Make
1t a rule never to let stale makeup
clog your pores. Always cleanse
your skin thoroughly before "doing
your face over" And never, never
go to bed without first removing
your makeup. One good cream
should be sufficient for the teen-ape

girl, both for cleansing and lubri-
eating.
Start Your Routine Now
Start taking care of your hands
now. Get good hand-lotion to keep
them smooth and soft. Scrub them
thoroughly with nail brush. File
your nails with an emory board
rather than with a steel file. And
II you use colored polishes, pale
shades are more youthful and APP
propriate for the school girl than
the brighter shades.
Set aside a special time to brush
your hair and stick to it. If you
keep at it faithfully, it will become
a habit that will stay with you
through the years and reward you
with healthy shining hair.
Watch your diet. The growing
girl has a tendency to prefer sweets
and starches to the exclusion of all
else. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and
vegetables and drink lots of water.
Proper diet can become as much a
habit as anything else.
And get at least eight hours sleep.
Everything seems so new and ex-
citing when you are sixteen that it
is hard to waste time sleeping. But
actually it is time well spent. You
can't burn the candle at both ends
and expect to remain always fresh
and charming. Try to be sensible.
Remember, if you take care of your
self, you will stay young and lovely
much longer.
