NATURES CHILDREN
RED CARNATION
(Didnthus cdruophullus J

Ohio's floral emblem is the edu-
Gated cousin in the beloved pink
family. 1t was made the State flower
by an act of the Legislature in 1904.
This bright red flower was the IA
vorite of William Mckinley, and
many persons still wear one on his
birthday. Mothers Day is honored
by the white carnation, blossom as
large and perfect and as fragrant.
History shows that the modest
pink which our grandmothers loved
to have in their flower gardens was
found growing on the slopes of
Cheddar Gorge, in Somerset County,
England, and placed among the cul-
tivated flowers. 1t became Britain's
favorite wild flower. Queen Eliza
beth was especially fond of it, seeing
to it that it was given every oppor-
tunity to grow, so that others also
might have it in their home gardens,
1t was quite natural that our ances-
tors brought with them these flowers.
If you will again read Shakespeare S
Winter Tale" where he says, THE
fairest flowers of the season are our
carnations" you will see that, in
1923, the flower already had climbed
high in the social scale.

quered peoples" How can the plural
word people" be repluralized?-
r. M.
Answer-"Peoples" is correct in
the meaning OF more than one
group or race of people, thus: The
people Of France, and other Euro
pean peoples.
Concord-How should the time
of MARITIME be pronounced
"teem"?-G.
Answer-Of 10 accepted diction-
aries consulted, eight give first
choice to time" to rhyme with
dime; tim" to rhyme with him is
first choice Of two and second
choice Of four. But no dictionary
known to me sanctions "teem" to
rhyme with seem.
Hollywood II seem to recall q
famous motto represented by the
initials A. E. I. O. U. Do you know
it?-R. v. D.
Answer-The letters are carved
on the chapel Of Wiener Neustadt,
formerly Austria's West Point. They
stand for the motto: Austria Erit In
Orbe Ultima" meaning, ironically,
Austria shall be forever!"

There are so many from which you
may make your selection. They are
hardy and delight to hobnob with
other flowers. But these thrifty
flowers make most satisfactory
border for rose garden, and they
require little attention. Some mem
bers OF the family can be used for
the rock garden, others to cover the
ground where the taller flowers
stand guard.
What is SO interesting about the
members Of this family Is their
diversity. What many are finding
out lately is the pink's adaptability
to soils and climate - what more
could one ask of so acceptable a
flower?

WEDNESDAY and spell 1t "Wens-
day?"-Reader.
Answer-The name of the third
day is from the Anglo-Saxon
Wodens daeg (Woden's or Odin s
day., which became wodnesdei, then
wednesdai, and finally Wednesday
English is an unphonetic language,
and words are seldom pronounced
as they are spelled.
Alhambra-Why not teach people
to say "inalienable" instead OF the
incorrect "unalienable"?-E B.
Answer-Sorry. The words are
the same in meaning, and both are
sanctioned by the dictionaries.

Despite the strength of his hand,
South passed on the first round in
the hope that the vulnerable op-
ponents would get themselves into
trouble. When they were let out of
the trap by North's diamond over
call South bid his spades and got
to game.
A heart lead would have set
South, but West naturally opened
the jack of clubs. South looked at
all the high cards in the dummy
and in his own hand and noted
that West might have the king of
spades or the queen of hearts; but
East certainly needed all the re-
naming high cards for his vul-
nerable opening bid. If West had
the queen of hearts South would
lose only one heart and one dia-
mond; but if West had the king of
spades South might lose two hearts,
a diamond and a trump. Then he
saw a line of play which would
yield the contract, even against bad
breaks.
He discarded low heart from
dummy and won with the club ace
in his own hand. Then he led a
low diamond and ducked the trick
to East's jack. East saw no profit
in laying down the heart ace, for
that would set up dummy's king.
He therefore returned a trump.
South won with the trump ace
and cashed the king and queen of
clubs to discard dummys remaining
hearts. Then he led his other dia-
mond to dummys ace and ruffed
third round of diamonds with the
queen of spades.
Whether or not West overruffed
South was sure to make five-odd.
Actually. West discarded a heart.
South then led the 10 of spades and
dummy could not be prevented from
drawing trumps and running the
diamonds.
