for sale in our markets. However,
we are realizing today more than
ever what a really versatile plant
the cabbage has grown to be.
1t is classed as a slow-growing
bi-annual that has three distinct
periods of life. Few purchasers of
the solid heads that bring the scales
down SO swiftly realize that the
cabbage at first is mere leaf. Sec
ond, a sort of resting period takes
place during which the formation
OF the tiny flowers occurs and, third,
there is the growth and develop
ment of the flower and the seed.
All cabbages follow this rule with
persistent determination. But they
also have the head-formation habit,
which is distinct division of
step one.
The forming of head, though
vital to the plants value CONNER
cially, is not at all essential to the
growth and perpetuation of the
plant. Today there are four leading
types of cabbage: The conical head,
the round-headed, the Savoy and
Early Fat Dutch. The last has a
hard head surrounded by many
leaves.
Thought we are reminded quite
often that the cabbage is one of
the grossest and least fastidious
feeders among our cultivated plants,
we are eager to buy the vegetable
because it has such established place
in the planning of today's meals.
This vegetable is easily grown
almost all over the United States,
though it is quite sensitive to
drought and loves to be near the sea.
The cabbage Is native of tenn
perate zone and it is sunlover.
Though the vegetable is rather
bulky it is an excellent traveller and
stands being treated rough. 1t can
be stored and kept for some time
in excellent condition.

for criminals. His system also called
for the head, nose and chin to be
measured.
That system worked we'll in many
cases, and it still holds place in
the war against crime. Yet it has
been known to fail.

looked just like the new prisoner.
The measurements of nose, chin
and head were the same. Yet it was
found that they really were two
different persons.
William West had been put in the
LeavenWorth prison in 1901 and was
serving life sentence for murder.
So far as either Will or William
knew, they were not related.
Possibly the Vests were identical
twins who had been separated while
they were babies. They looked alike
in every way, but their fingerprints
were different. Later study of the
records showed that fingerprint
expert could not have mistaken the
two men.
The worlds greatest fingerprint
collection is in Washington under
charge of J. Edgar Hoover. head OF
| the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Millions of sets of fingerprints are
on record in the FBI.
The FBI has large force of men
and women who know how to locate
| the proper cards. Thousands of
new fingerprint records are studied
each day, and help is given to police
officers all over the United States.
Police in Canada and other coun-
tries also receive help, and in their
turn they may give help when it is
asked. 1t has been found that GRIM
Inals tend to commit the same kind
Of crimes over and over again.
Persons who commit crimes are a
public danger. So far as the FBI
and other agencies keep criminals
under control they are helping to
provide a better world.
