MOTHER EARTH CHOSE WELL
Old Lady’s Dzcision on Green for a
Coiering Much More Than
Accidental.
Why did Mother Earth choose 8
dress in green? The earth was not
always green. Scientists say that
ence it was as naked as the moon; but
there came a day when the weather |
.grew cool enough to demand clothing, |
and at that time, no doubt, this mater-
nal planet began to look about to
choose a color scheme for her dress.
Why she chose green is not gn rec-
ord, but that she chose it with her
whole heart every pleasant place of
creation testifies.
Scientists explain that this is merely |
a natural phenomenon, the color beiu.
.chlorophyl pigment, turned green by
\action of the sun. But why it did not
turn blue or red or black, no scientist
knows. About all
that Mother arth wanted a green
dress, and she got it.
Green is a restful color. Ocualists
say that of all colors green is the
most friendly to the optic nerve. in
lands where cternal snows or eternal
white sands flash up their glaring re
flections, men have to shade their eyes
or go blind. But grzen never bothers
the eye. One can stare a forest in the
face all day with lmpunity. Nature's
greens never Sot on your nerves, and
they never guarreied with any other
of nature's coiors and tints.
The professional mixer of paint:
knows fierce color discord can
easily be created by a niisplacing of
green. Dut nature never misplaces it.
Even blue stands without tying, cheel
by cheei with nature's greens. Lark-
spurs and lobelias go quietly arm in
arm with their respective foliage. A
rose of any tint or color is best set
off by a green rose leaf. Every spring
or fall color, pale er florid, will shade
that

pleasantly info green on the very same
leaf.
Imagine the grass of the field and
the leaves of the forest created blue,
or magenta, or scarlet, instead of
green! Some speculative scientists
‘think the foliage of the planet Mars
is red, and that the people there are
seeing red continually. —TLouisville

! " Cypress Tree Ages Old.
A cypress tree, exhumed ffom a
small asphalt pit in southern Califor-
nia, has lately been identified by the
curator of a Los Angeles museum as
a relic of the Pleistocene or Glacial
age. As such it was contemporary
with the mastodon, the saber-tooth
tiger and the giant ground sloth. The
find is considered the more remark-
able, because no living specimens of
the cypress are to be found in the
vicinity. The tree is in an excellent
state of preservation, too, thanks to
the action of the enveloping tar. The
bark is intact in many spots, and is
unchanged except for the discoloration.

WOMEN CANDIDATES.
Complete information on the wom-
en’s vote and how it affected the re-
cent election is still fragmentary. A
few scattered items, however, are ob-
tainable.
Though Colorado went Republican,
Miss Inez Lewis Johnson, a Democrat,
was elected county superintendent of
#1 Paso county. Another victory
which the women claim was the elec-
tion of Judge Ben Lindsay, who was
returned to the Juvenile Court—the
only Democrat elected in Denver.
Five women were elected to the Jow-
er House of the Connecticut Legisla-
ture. They are four Republicans and
a Democrat.
The largest woman vote in the his-
tory of Kansas was reported. Miss
Lorraine Wooster was re-elected as
J : :
State Superintendent of Public In-
struction. It has been asserted that
the vote for Miss Wooster showed ap-
| proval of her stand against cigarette
smoking in the schools, and the effi-
ciency of the teaching force under her
administration. Four women, three
Republicans and a Democrat, were
elected to the Kansas Legislature.
In Louisiana Miss Edith Brown Dai-
ley was elected to the State Constitu-
tional Convention, and Mrs. A. E.

half-filled the bore at 50 degrees F.

A study of the rate of expansion of
