Wi\ Humcwhb MIRAGE It wn his first fight, and in the first round he had been badly hammered. His second tried to cheer him up. In the next round it was even worse, but his second was not dismayed. “Go on, lad," he said enthusi astically; “you’re doing fine. He never laid a glove on you." The novice was puzzled, so, as he stood up for the third round, he said: “Keep your eye on the referee j this time. Someone’s hitting me!” Pointed After a searching cross-examina tion, the little woman in the witness box remained quite calm. At last the lawyer exclaimed: “You say you had no education, but you answered all my questions smartly enough.” “Yes, sir," replied the witness meekly; “but you don’t have to be a scholar to answer silly questions.” i Retort One woman who had fought her I way to a counter thought she wasn’t I receiving sufficient attention. “If I were trying to match polite ness,” she snapped, staring at an assistant, “I’d have a hard time in thia shop.” “Madam,” replied the assistant, “will you kindly let me see your sample?” TWO’S A CROWD “Sir, I have come to ask for the hand of your daughter in marriage.” “Which one—Jane or Helen?” “Jane, sir.” “Do you make enough to support two?” “But, sir, I only wish one.” At a Distance Summer is alluring When it’s far away; . 5 Homage it’s securing— ■ This we gladly pay.

Second Summer Term—July 15 Fall Term -September 21 MIDDLE GEORGIA COLLEGE Cochran, Georgia Have You Any Idea* a* '** ] To Who I* Right Here? 1 Now that St. Patrick’s day is past, it should be possible to bring up the questions: “When is a sham rock not a shamrock?” and “What is a shamrock anyway?" without provoking too heated a controversy among partisans of various plants. For, while nearly everybody j speaks of the shamrock as if it were a specific plant, actually there is considerable dispute as to what particular plant is the true sham rock, it is learned by consulting J. ' Francis Macfcride, associate curator i of the herbarium at Chicago Field I Museum. (Incidentally, as a Cale | donian Macbride, and not a Hiber nian Mcßride, he is severely neu tral among the disputants.) About half of the Irishmen, and about half of the other people who have considered the matter, regard the plant known as the wood sor rel, which bears the scientific name Oxalis acetosella, as the true sham rock. The other half just as vocif erously vouch that the true sham rock is the white clover, whose botanical-Latin designation is Trifo lium repens. Another smaller school of thought has claimed that the rightful emblem of Eire is another clover called Trifolium minus. Still another asserts that the true sham rock is the black medic whose more | esoteric designation is Medicago lupulina, and half a dozen other plants have adherents, among them even the water cress. Cows Are Allergic to Garlic—Even Sniffing It Garlic sniffing should be taboo for the cow giving milk. How fast gar lic flavor can get into milk when a cow gets into a garlic patch is shown by some studies made by the U. S. department of agriculture. A cow doesn’t even have to eat the garlic to have her milk affected. She need only smell it—or at least, inhale it steadily for 10 minutes, as she might when browsing a garlicky I I pasture. The milk will have a strong i garlic flavor and odor two minutes j after a cow inhales garlic for 10 minutes. Milk drawn 90 minutes after such inhalation is free from garlic flavor and odor. Still faster is the effect of eating the garlic. When cows were fed half a pound of garlic experimental ly, slight garlic flavor and odor were detected in the milk one minute lat er. The intensity of the garlic flavor ! and odor increased with the inter-, > val following the feeding. In 10 min- I utes both were very strong, and I even after four hours, the flavor and ! odor of the milk were still objec , tionable. Not until seven hours aft ■ er the garlic feeding did the undc * sirable flavor and odor disappear. I Insecticide Material i Sulphur and arsenic are probably ( the oldest insecticides of which there are records, Dr. H. L. Haller of thei bureau of entomology and plant quarantine, U. S. department of ng i riculture, declares in a report to the American Chemical society on “The Search for New Insecticides.” Sulphur was mentioned by Homer about 1,000 B. C. and the Chinese used arsenic sulphides as early ns j 900 A. D., Dr. Haller points out. “A variety of other materials such as hot water, brine, lye, whitewash, soap suds, vinegar, petroleum, tur pentine, fish oil and decoctions of aloes, pepper, soot, tobacco and wormwood have also been used ns insecticidal agents for a long time,” he continues. “Arsenic and honey mixture was recommended more than 250 years ago for the control of ants. Tobacco dust was advocated in France for use against plant lice in IG9O. Pyre thrum or common insect powder and derris have been used for more than 100 years. i Even Irish Agjee There is almost unity, at least, in | the fact that nearly aH of the plants for which the name shamrock is claimed have three leaflets, and that these leaves represent the symbol ism of the shamrock, the story be ing that St. Patrick chose the plant to symbolize the Trinity. However, even this is disputed, for example, by the adherents of the water cress, j Some say the three leaves are em blematic of love, valor and wit, three charming traits of the Irish char acter. Perhaps it will be a shock to re veal that the trefoil plant was held sacred in Iran, and was emblematic of the Persian triad, long before St. I Patrick’s day; and that “shamrock” j and “shamrakh” are Arabic words i designating such plants. I A point brought out by those who i acclaim the wood-sorrel as the true I shamrock is that it is said usually I to reach its growth perfection in Ireland about St. Patrick’s day, j which is not true of the white clover. Oil From Seed of Thistle Safflower belongs to the thistle family and has been cultivated for many years in India, Egypt, and ! Europe as an oil-seed crop and as a source of red dye obtained from the flowers. An effort was made to in troduce the crop into the Northern Great Plains of the United States about 15 years ago. Although satis factory yields were obtained, the crop has not become commercially important. Safflower oil, which is obtained from the seed, is used for edible and technical purposes. The oil has good drying properties and is suitable for use in making paints, varnishes, and linoleums, ;
