It is uncertain what will happen

Before the 1914 season opens,
Rickey apparently will have a
tightly-knit chain-store unit, gear
ed for expansion the day the war

Rickey apparently is ignoring the
opposition of Lands and the anti

Walter p. Briggs of the Tigers.

Asters seem to have a little game
Of competition with the goldenrods
In abundance, variety and attrac-
tiveness. They may be found In the
woods, fields, swamps, along the
roadsides and in cultivated gar
dens. Those given loving attention
grow to be more beautiful and
larger.
Aster means star. and the asters
are members of the well-known
Thistle family. From August until
October. the wood asters are In
bloom. They are the earliest Of the
asters to open.
The aster tribe Is one of the most
fiourishing. as well as the largest, of
the family, and includes, besides
the goldenrods, the f1eabanes, des-
ert star and gum-plants, also the
coyote and rabbit brush.
Asters are among the most ia

abundantly represented in our CEN

decreasing as they travel toward the
West. There are less than 20 on
the Pacific Coast. Those growing
IN this region are deep blue or
purple.
Asters are usually herbaceous
plant with alternate leaves. The
flower heads, either solitary or in
clusters, consist of a hemispherical
or bell-shapped involucre covered
with bracts, a marginal series of ray
flowers which are pistillate and
either blue, pink. purple or white.
In the center, there is a disk of
flowers OF yellow that possess tubu-
lar corollas with five short teeth.
In spite of the attractive flowers.
asters are not cultivated as much
as they deserve to be. They make
satisfactory border and rock gar
den plant. They are diverse in
height and color, and add much to a
wHdflower garden. The China as
ters are native to China and Japan.
Aster leaves are usually narrow
and lance-shaped, either entire or
slightly toothed. Some of them are
quit rough and hairy. The stems
are smooth and branching, some
reaching several feet high.
The guests of asters are many
There are brilliantly colored beetles

they spent hardly any time talking
about it to me. I had the idea that
they felt pressed down by the Fas-
cist rulers. but were afraid to talk
about the subject.
In Sicily found a man who was
willing to talk, at least to q certain
extent. He was my guide while I
was In the city of Syracuse, In the
southeastern part of the island.
'Mussolini came down here To
give talk" he said. Several DAYS
before he arrived, he sent men to
Syracuse to get people together and
teach them to cheer. They had to
practice a good deal before II Duce
came, so they would do the right
kind of cheering"
The same man, shortly before I
boarded boat to go to Malta, said
to me, I'VE don't have any freedom
anymore!" often, since then, I
have thought of his words.
Syracuse was taken by the Brit
ish Eighth army soon after the
start OF the United Nations inva-
sion OF Sicily. I am glad 1t was not
badly battered before capture. not
only for the sake of the people In

Ing remains of the far past.
One day I visited an open air
tbeater on the outskirts of Syra-
cuse. There saw stone seats which
were used by people who went TO
the theater 1900 years ago. Since
no roof existed, the plays were
given only when there was no rain.
Another sight near Syracuse Is
the famous Ear of Dionysus. This
is large hollow in the rock which
may remind person Of an Opening
In a human ear. The hollow was
cut long ago by workmen who were
ordered to take out blocks of stone
for building purposes.
