.Feature of National Fourth.
Representatives of business organiza
tions In many sections of the city have
expressed a desire to co-opcralo In the
proposed progress demonstration which

tional Fourth of July celebration.
As the plan has met with the approval
of tho Directors of the vnrlous city de
partments, who nre considering the ad
visability of preparing exhibits to show
the city's progress, many of the neigh
borhood organizations hnvc expressed a
desire to participate in tho event and
show the progress made In their respec
tive sections.
Thnt the proposed demonstration might
not interefero with tho regular Independ
ence Day cercmnnleH on July 5, it has
oeen suggested that July G bo ofltclallv
nnrned as Progress Day As n large num
ber of distinguished visitors nro expected
here, It Is contended that this would en
able them to see the historical ceremo
nies, witness the progress parade and
Visit points of interest Furthermore, tho
proposed parade would not Interfere with

arranged by the Safe nnd Sano Fourth
Committee.

hoods In the city will hnvo an opportunity

Efforts nre being made by a number of
prominent business men to Induce Gov
ernor Brumbaugh to review the demon
stration, which wilt tell the story or

SPRING GREENS
By SAMUEL SCOVILLE, Jr.
Now Is tho llmo for greens After tho
wilted, imich-trtneled winter cgctaliles and
canned fruits, one feels llko eating FOmothlnu
tb.it hai the tung of spring and tho llavor
and thfl splcery of tho fields and woods.
It is tlio same wny with animals. Tho old
black bear in tlio early spring, when lie creeps
out of tho hole that ho has dui; nnd hidden with
so much tare In sotno oicrnanslnK bnnk nr
under the roots of some fallen treo, starts tho
first thins after a. men of urecns. Auout tho
only Krcn thlnx that is showing then Is tho
tlcht-rolled leaves of the skunk cabbage,
with Its Unry-Btnooth, crlmaon-llko blossom,
tho first Mower of the woods. Tho rolled
leaven look llko brlKht green cigars. Mr.
Hear Is reported by hunters to claw them up
and gulp them down ns we do early spinach.
If ho does lie lias n tough mouth und a
good digestion.
One dav I sat down resting in tho spring
woodi, IJy m side was ono of those green
inllu. I pulled It up It looked good, al
though I can't recommend the smell. In
ortlcr to qualify as n real nature student. I
bit off a piece and chowed It reflectively.
Then I got rid of It rudel), but forcibly, and
ran for the nenrcst water. It felt Just as If
I had bitten a bumblebee or like a pleco of
ono of those terrible "elephant cars" which wo
bo) ei UBtd to dare each other to taste when
I was voung.
I read recently a nuture article whose
writer mentioned tho Indian turnip ns being
edible. It is evident thnt bo never tried It.
The Indian turnip In tho bulb of the Jack-ln-tho-pulplt.
No human being can eat a pleco
of It raw without passing a most unpleasant
half hour At first there Is no taste at all.
Then suddenly tho tonguo feels ns If It were
coated with a mixture of powdered glass und
nltrlo acid. Tho pain is awful, and no
water will stop It.
Tho commonest wild green Is, of course,
tho dandelion. Dug up young, washed and
served either raw, as a bitter salad, or cooked
like spinach, It la a very tolerable green. The
oung marigold with broad leaves and bright
ellow How ers, usually known as the cow
slip. Is better. It grows In marshy places and
must bo picked before It gets old nnd tough.
Hut the green which Is beat of all Is ono
that Is hardly known In early May the
fields are full nf sprouting milkweed. At the
top of each stalk nro two tender green leaves,
not )et unfolded, llreak those off nnd pick
a bandkerchleffut or a pocketful or a basket-
I tui, tf you nre lucky on our next walk, xou
t can't mistake the plant A thick whlta milky
julcn runs nut of tho stem when broken, which
we boys ued to believe would euro warts
If rubbed on them nt tho full of tho moon.
Ho thnt as It mav. nick all of tho tender ton-
leaves tliat nu can find, take them homo and
ask our mother to rook them Just as sho
would splnaih Pour on n Uttlo lnegar'and
try them The ey next day, right after
Acliool. you'll be sent out to look for more.
Only use tho tender unfolded leaves. Tho bud
or tho other leaves have a bitter taste.
There are other good things to nibble and
tasto on vour spring walks. There Is tho
bark of the splco bush, vv hose blossoms stud
Its black branches with gold before the leaves
come out. Then thero is the bark nnd tho
roots and the trefoil leaves of the snbsafras
bushes and trees. Nothing quenches thirst
quicker on a long 'walk than a mouthful or
so of fresh, cool sassafras leaves. Then there
Is the wild ginger, with Us big round leaves
and Dowers, that grows hidden against the
earth. The root tastes Just llko ginger. Tho
tender green leaes of tho wlntergreen or
checker berry, which you will find growing all
through the pine lands of southern New Jer
sev. nre also good to nibble.
Don't forget the next time you walk beside
a brook or In a wet meadow to look out for
the spearmint. You will smell It before you
see it. It has a crinkly green leaf and a
reddish stem, square like the stems of all
the mints Dig eoma up and bring It home.
It will grow anywhere and spread, and you
can alwas have mint sauce without having to
buy your mint. , ..... .
While you nre down by the brook look out
for sweet flag. It grows In marshy places,
has long, flat, sword-shaped leaves with a
groove In the middle, and looks like tem
pered green steel At the bottom the green
,han. Into A dark wlna red. Thn rtuxt im
puro white Inside. Pull apart the two outer
leaves and jou'll find Inside a soft, wet new
leaf Just made to eat Nlbbla the root. It's
a bit strong, but good. Cut It Into thin
nllccb and randy It and you'll find nothing
better. I'erhaps you may bo fortunate enough
to find some clear stream or spring where
the watercress grows The cress has a curi
ous fleshy green leaf about the ahapo of a
wide, tennis racket. It tastes peppery and
good, snd makes a fine salad or a good lunch
between bread and butter if you find It on an
all-day tramp He sure you don't taks It
from a stream where the water Is gray and
smells sfwery. .. . .. . ..
Learn all of these, for they wero especially
put In the woods and fields for boys and
Blrls.

J. E. ADDICKS FACES
PRISON SENTENCE
Former Millionaire and Sena
torial Aspirant Held as Fugi
tive From Justice.
J. Edward AddlckB, ono of the founders
of the Union League, who spent more
than 43,000,000 and a decade of his Ufa
In a fruitless effort to represent the State
of Delaware In tho United States Senate,
Is facing a Jail term at the age of 74.
Ho Is confined In a New York hotel In
tha custody of two deputy sheriffs today
after spending1 Saturday and Sunday
nights In a cell In Ludlow street prison.
Unless the former millionaire, who Is
known throughout Delaware as "Gas
AddlcVcs," is able to raise 1S,000 among
what friends he has left he may end his
days behlncj prison bars. He was ar
rested last Saturday after a search last
ing m'ore than two years on a fugitive
warrant Issued in 1910, charging- him with
contempt of court. V.
Tha suit out of which tho contempt
proceedings have arisen was begun by
Hiram M. Burton, tn December of 1903,
who procured a judgment against Ad
dicks for 115,472.51, due on a note. The
Judgment was returned unsatisfied and
Addlcks disappeared, forfeiting a ball
bond of J20.COO. Since his disappearance
ha has been living In seclusion in New
Jersey, according to the polce.
He was arraigned for a hearing yes
terday before Justice Greenbaum, in New
York, and Blven until today to obtain
ball )n the sum of 118.000. So far, ac
cording to a dispatch received this morn
ing, he has been unsuccessful, and will
probably be returned to a cell tonight.
At one time Addlcks was said to be
worth, from JIO.000.000 to 116.000,000, and in,
tlmate friends of his in this city refuse
to believe that he has not sufficient prop
erty left to gain Ids freedom. lie lost
a big portion of hi fortune through Ill
advised, business investments and re
ceived bis sobriquet of "Has Addlcks '

Lawson la the Bay State Gas Company.
