LINES TO A CAMELLIA
From an Apian Lover.
Beautiful Lady, I so long to
1 j know!
A lovely, delectable, roseate
glow
Suffuses your cheeks, your lips a
deep wine.
Have stained your pure petals,
ah press them to mine!
Let me look deeper, your heart
Pd behold
Rimmed with rich stamen of am
ber and gold;
Is there no fragrance, no sweet
ness to share?
Your beauty so radiant is ruth
less I fear!
Humbly I worship at your lofty
shrine,
Yield you my homage, 0 blossom
divine!
My self I would hide your soft
petals between,
Winter’s resplendent, incompa
rable Queen!

1,086 Dolls ‘Motherless’
The recent death of Mrs. Mary
Anna Wherland in Fresno, Calif.,
left “motherless” a family consist
ing of 1,086 dolls which she pains
takingly collected and cared for dur
ing the past 40 years. The collec
tion occupied 30 showcases in the
Wherland home and included dolls
of every size and nationality, from
all parts of the world. Mrs. Wher
land began her unique collection
when she decided to keep her chil
dren’s dolls as remembrances.
Through the years she added to this
hobby until her home became a
little girl’s “paradise.” The collec
tion will find a new home with Mrs.
Wherland’s daughter in Eugene,
Ore.
Motorists Warned About Lights
All motorists should make certain
to turn on their headlights when re-)
quired by law, if for no other reason
than personal safety, reports the
public safety department of the Na
tional Automobile club. The law re
quires that headlights be turned on
one-half hour after sunset, during
inclement weather and such other
times as vision is impaired. Last
year 330 vehicles involved in fatal {
accidents and 7,660 vehicles in non
fatal accidents in the United States
had one or both headlights out.
Turning on the lights would have
prevented many of these injuries
and saved many lives, the National
Automobile club believes.
Improving Human Race
Abuse of alcohol, faulty system of
schooling and the narrowing of i
man’s productive time, are the three I
great problems that challenge med-)
icine, psychiatry and modern sci- j
ence today, Dr. C. Charles Burlin- j
game, of Connecticut, one of the j
1 pioneers in mental treatment, re- ;
i cently said. The mental weakness
of men and women, according to Dr.
! Burlingame, is contributed by “mis
i education” which permits a college
education for all who wish it, even
I though they may not have the brain |
for white collar training; the con-j
j trol of alcohol and its removal from
| the category of social and health
! problems.
An Architrave
An architrave is a term of classi
cal architecture applied to the prin
cipal beam and lowest of the hori
zontal members supported by col
umns. Its position is directly above
the columns, between which it ex
tends, and it carries the upper mem
bers—frieze and cornice—of the en
tablature. It is used also to desig
nate the molding around the side
and top of a door or window frame
or a similar molding around a wain
-1 scot or other panel. , . ~.

U. S. Insect Hunter in
Relentless War on Pests.
The man who will subjugate one
“fifth column” activity not listed by
the department of justice came to
Berkeley, Calif., recentJjF, to com
pare scientific data
of California experts.
The goal is the same, however,
reveals Dr. F. C. Blshopp, chief of
the division of insects affecting man
and beast, U. S. bureau of ento
mology and plant quarantine—the (
heightening of national efficiency
and safety in time of crisis.
Just as the department of justice
is intensifying its fight on human
saboteurs, the bureau of entomology
is stepping up a nation-wide pro
gram, not only to avert economic
and human losses but to increase
man’s efficiency for defense of his
country.
As part of this process, Dr. Bish
opp stated that war would be waged
just as relentlessly on pests, which
do not incapacitate or kill, but which
destroy man’s comfort and happi
ness.
He reports 5,000,000 cases of ma
laria annually in this country, ma
jority in the South, which, while not
fatal, result in debility and conse
quent lowered production.
Dr. Bishopp brought official data
on a $10,000,000 loss in cattle in the
Southwest caused by the screw
worm, a pest that has recently made
its appearance in Southern Califor
nia. Spread of Rocky mountain fe
ver to eastern states by ticks car
ried by dogs and in luggage of trav
elers, he added, presented another
serious problem, inasmuch as the
mortality rate ranged from 10 to 50
per cent.
War Worry Senseless,
Medical Journals Advise
Work hard and play hard, but
don’t worry about the war situation
any more than you can possibly
help. That’s eminently sane advice,
j Medical journals report a rise in
I the number of mental cases requir
! ing treatment in the last two
months. It may be due to too much
despondent brooding about the war,
especially among younger men and
women.
This, of course, does nobody any
good. One cannot shut eyes and
ears to what is going on in the
world. That would be unwise, even
if one could do it. But depression
over things beyond the individual
control does no good, either to the
individual or in solving the prob
lem.
Every generation and every time
has had its problems and its trage
dies. The only course is to do what'
must be done and do it with vigor
and a clear head. Beyond that,
people do well to work hard at their
jobs, indulge in all customary recre
ation and play, and try as far as
possible to avoid worry. Even if
the worst happens, is it not bad
enough to endure that without hav
ing gone through it in imagination a
thousand times before?
Snake Can’t Milk
A snake could not possibly milk
a cow, even if the cow raised no ob-.
jections. The shape of its mouth
| makes the feat impossible, and the
I sharp teeth would stampede the 1
! gentlest of cows. It’s just a snake
story that will not stand up under
sensible thinking.
