It's Hard to Believe

Cincinnati: How did we get the
expressive word TORMENT?-Mrs.
J. S.
Answer: The Romans invented a
kind of catapult, the throwing arm
of which was bent back by twist
ing or turning windlass. The ma
chine, called tormentum, could
hurl large missiles Of stone with
deadly effect. 1t was the ancient
prototype of the modern siege gun.
The name tormentum from the
Latin word torquere, Ito twist: to
wind around'D was later given to the
flendish instrument of torture, the
rack; hence, the modern meaning
ito inflict severe pain or suffering"
It's hard to believe that when you
wiring out few pieces Of washing
YOU are literally tormenting them,
but it's true.

Art Huhto
BY Paul Foqorty

grasses, the stems are woody. The
joint is called a node, and the part
between the nodes Is an internode.
The leaves are usually long and
narrow, parallel veined and attached
at the nodes, first on one side then
on the other, so they are spoken OF
as two-ranked. The lower part of
each leaf always encircles the stem
as a sheath. while the upper part,
the blade. is fairly flattened. In
some grasses the blades are enrolled
in the bud. while in others they are
folded. Where the sheath and the
blade join. the texture and color are
usually different; this joining part
is designated the collar. Each free
angle OF this collar often bears a
projection called an auricle. Most
Of the grasses have a dainty flap on
the inner side Of tie collar, known
as the ligule. The auricles and the
!igules. where present, though they
differ much, are aids in identifying
grasses by observing the structure of
the collar. The flower clusters of
grasses present great many forms
Many grasses may be recognized at
once by them. These flowers are
borne in spikelets which are many
Powered and the individual flowers
are enclosed in scales. The flower
actually consists of pistil with the
ovary or seed box at the base and
pair Of feathery stigmas. Sur
rounding the pistil are three sta
mems, each with slender stalk and
the terminal anther bearing pollen
The spikelets of all grasses are based
on this pattern.
Bermuda grass is an important
pasture plant in the South. Here
it makes its best growth on the CLAY
and silt soils. 1t is known as far
north as Maryland. Kansas and the
warmer valleys of Washington and
Oregon. In Maryland and Virginia
where it has its own way, it is known
as a wire grass-a pest.
This grass is most used for pas
lures and lawns in the South. 1t is
a native Of the warmer portions of
the Old World. where it is known
under many names. It became we'll
established In the South in 1907,
most likely coming from India or
the Mediterranean region. The best
seeds are produced in Arizona, Cali
fornia and Australia. Otherwise, 1t
may be planted by pieces OF the root
stocks or stolons.
