missionaries. who are fond OF spicy
herbs, planted the black mustard.
They cooked its tender young leaves
as spring green's for the cleansing
Of the blood. There are several
delicious dishes concocted by the
Spaniards of this potherb, and once
you have sampled one of them you
add 1t to your menu. This would
be an excellent way to remove the
curse of the black mustard, for 1t
is a wayward herb, or rather weed,
with wanderlust tendencies.
The mustard's seeds contain an
ingredient that has considerable
heat, and the padres, knowing of
this property, used them for plasters
and condiments and other mixtures
that called for blistering an afflicted
part of the anatomy.
We find several records that claim
the pioneers of early days thought
it their Christian duty to SOW the
black mustard seeds along the new
roads and pathways. Certain it is
the mustard has been most success
full in making her way about the
world. 1t is likely the early fathers
took black mustard seed along with
them for other reasons than helping
sow the roadside. The plant is re-
sourceful enough and her many
seeds are carried by the wind and
birds to new places Of residence.
Both black and white mustard
seed are used to such an extent In
America that something over five
million pounds are imported annu-
ally.
From June until September the
plant is In bloom. That shows you
what thrifty citizen the mustard
is. Seeds from July until Septem-
ber are matured and the ripened
ones are soon gone with the wind
and also have served to make a
delectable tonic for many q little

Fields. roadsides and waste places
are the spots most occupied by this
weed. Sometimes the stem is as
much as 7 feet high and in the
southern part Of its range it de-
velops many branches. The bright
yellow blossoms about a quarter OF
an inch wide are In clusters at the

tip Of the stem. The lower leaves
are pinnatifid, with q terminal lobe
that is quite large, and the several
lateral lobes are small and well
toothed. The seed pods are short,
smooth and four-angled, about one
half inch In length, and have a short
slender beak. The seeds are black
and, as we have said before, very
pungent.
This is believed to be the mustard
plant spoken of in the Bible with
branches so large that the birds Of
Palestine lodged in them. This
happens today in that far-of coun-
try, SO the black mustard happily
situated In America is a weed with
q family tree that reaches q long
way into the past.

anything like that. These diplomatic

wisecrack with the best of them
About Michael Curtiz, the English
mauling Hungarian director, is the
air of man constantly restraining
his impatience. He is forever telling
his actors he is the most patient
man in Hollywood-but he isn't.
Let's look in first on Virginia

his temper In check. The scene is
the Office of Confederate President
Jefferson Davis in Richmond during
1868. Capt. Randolph Scott is there

defeat by smuggling $5,000,000 in
gold bullion from Virginia City, New

Curtiz coached him-patiently.

patient man in the world" Curtiz
reminded him. II know you are
very good actor, so don't get
nervous. Just go over in the corner
and study your lines"
While the Secretary of War paced
and mumbled in the corner, Curtiz
started another rehearsal. The
President of the Confederacy was
the next offender.
Your Southern accent is too
melodramatic," Curtiz cautioned Jef
Davis.
Again the rehearsal started. An
electrician accidentally knocked over
a light that thundered to the floor.
Then somebody coughed off-stage.
"Sh-h-!" said Curtiz, red-faced, but
still patient. The telephone tangled.
At last the scene got underway
AL IN perfect stride-until it came
time for Scott. He stumbled on his
third word. stepped on it, squashed
