Shakespeare Had to Wait for Recognition In reading a British review of William Shakespeare’s life and works. I found many Interesting statements, Jack Malone observes in the Chicago Pally News. One of these depicted the “Bard of Avon” as having no rating whatever with the arbiters of literary excellence—Bacon, Marlowe and Green. These critics Ignored him utterly, refusing to publish any comments either pro or con. their studied si'lence attesting a desire to squelch an actor who presumed to intrude upon their particular field—literature. This intensely Interesting and gripping article asserted that the above trio were considered the “cream” of Elizabethan authors, with the power tn make or break any upstart seeking to compete with them. So the •’lmmortal William” was suppressed, nnd the next 11)0 years remained a dim legend. Then came a plea for his rehabilitation among authors of Pope's time. Shakespeare “fans” became more and more numerous, bis dramas and verses were collected nnd read, and the habit was formed. And finally, 2-10 years following his death, iShakespeare's fame was secured or all time! South Seas The Pacific ocean was formerly known as the South sea, die to the fact that Vasco Nunez de Balboa, .Spanish governor of Darien, first saw It In 1513 when looking southward. He named it “el Mer del Su».” or the “Sea of the South.” Almost from the beginning, however, the English used the term in the plural form and applied it to all the waters of the southern hemisphere. In 1529, only 15 ’years after Balboa first beheld the Pacific, ti man named Thorne wrote to Henry VIII as follows: “VentHl they come to thee. South Sens of the Indies Occidental!.” In English literature “South Seas” refers especially to that part of the Pacific ocean south ot the equator. “The South Sea islands” is a general term designating the more remote and less civilized Islands in that region.—Exchange. Flower Names The names of many flowers find their origin In proper nouns. Back ot them there are often biographies. The .beautiful Japanese flower, wistaria, discovered by Nuttall, was not named after him, hut in honor of one of his scientific friends, Casper Wistar, a professor of anatomy at the University of Pennsylvania. The gentian its name from the Illyrian king Gentius, who was the first to discover its properties. Quassia was named after Qtinssi, a negro slave hi Suriname, Dutch Guiana, who used Its bark as a remedy for fever.—Mentor Magazine.

Indianapolis Host To 21 Conventions In February Indianapolis. Mar. 10. —(U.R) — Indiauipolis entertained 21 conventions in February, according to a convention bureau report. This included 16 state meetings, two national and three regional gatherings. > Total registered attendance was 6,085, which did not include the at--1 tendance of the automobile show or the pure food and household appliance show. Delegates to the February tonventions spertt approximately $340,000 here, according to the bureau. Os this amount $75,820 went to hotels; $68,680 to restaurants; $75,820 to retail stores; $62,220 to manufacturers nid wholesalers; $8,500 to taxi cab companies; $16,321 was spent at theaters and other amusement places, and $24,140 for such miscellaneous ’ items as cigars, candy and magazines o HAS PLAYED 120,878 GAMES OF SOLITAIRE Decatur, 111. —(U.R)— Although he has played exactly 120.878 games of solitaire and won but 623 during the test. 30 years. C. H. Conklin, 74, passenger conduct's" on the Whbash rail I road, has never yet caught himself cheating. \ Sometimes I', took a lot of willpower to keep from taking one little peek at the deck, he admitted, particularly when he would play 1,000 ir more games without winning The exercised his forbearance because he was keeping a careful tabulation of all games played and wislugl to calculate the percentages in Canfield—the brand of solitaire he plays. Soon after he finished his fifst 10,000 games—when he was a mere beginner—he found the chances of winning were 190 to 1 against him. That average still holds good after more than 120,000 games. , The Canfield player deals out 13 cards face down, four cards face up and a foundation card also up. The object of the play is to get cards “out” According to Conklins figures, he played 4,886 games in which he got only one card “out.” The average is five cards, he has found. You are certain- to win if you get 47 cards played, Conklin has discovered. “You can’t lose if you get out 47 cards, but you usually can't do that, and it's a handicap," he stud. Conklin's 120,878 games have been played in odd moments during hisj

I life as a railroad conductor. He now 1 plays Canfield so expertly that atmospheric conditions affect x his game. If the wgather is fair and Hie cards dry, he plays at the rate of I 20 games an hour. So if he had played each game at top speed, it would have taken him more than 6,000 hours to p'ay 120,878 games. If lie had played day and night without stopping even for meals it would have required more than a year's time. Where Canfield is played in gambling houses the player pays $52 for the deck and receives $5 for each card turned np. If Conklin had been gambling he would have lost $1,395,227 during his 30 years of solitaire -—-——o Believes Sex Dying Out In Literature London.—(U.R) —Sex in modern literature is dead, Joseph H. Sears, one of the leading American publishers, i told the United Press on his arrival 1 1 here. “Frankly, I can predict that the next five years will see a complete revolution in English and American literature.” Scars declared. “Every few years there is a cycle completed in literature. Writers whom we have known during that period appear to fade away and their places are taken by younger and more virile men and women. , "The present indications are that the places of the writers of the present cycle will be taken by people who were mere school children during the Great War. To them the war is a hazy memory and they were not old enough to be influenced by the period of sex literature which came after the war. Hence their writing ' will be more stable and solid.” USE Limberlost Washinci Powder

Where Courtship Is Privilege of Women Not only does the Cham maiden In tome district* of ludo-Cblnn make the piopo»al, but with her also lie* the Initiative for divorce. Moreover, when divorce occurs, which it does often, I the wife retains the home, the children. and one-third of the property. Even more favored Is the girl of the “maternal kinship” tribes of As»:.m. She proposes, and. If he accepts, the marriage takes place nnd xtlie husband must then come nnd live with, her people. And the wife mny divorce her husband when she pleases. By BO> doing, Indeed, she gains mu< h, for she not only keeps the children nnd tier own property, but all her divorced husband's property ns well. If a hitshand divorces his wife he must still surrender his entire property and the children to her. The maiden of Bonda Porjns In southern Indin resorts to a severe test when selecting a husband. The chosen man tins to accompany her Into the jungle. where she applies fire to his bare back. If the pain draws a yell from him, he Is contemptuously rejected. She tnkes him for husband only If he suffers In silence. In Borneo, among the Knlnblt peoples. It is always the who conducts the courtship.—From the Continental Edition of the London Dally Mail. Production of Honey Important in Quebec In the “Jesuits’ Relation," dated IG3B, it states the Indians used to make a decobtlon containing nlitm and honey as n remedy for typhus. The Indians called the English hee the white man’s fly. It Is said that the first hive was imported into America i tn 1038. The first agricultural statistics ot 1 Quebec hardly date as far hack as 1870. The first census showed 41.285 hives, with a total yield of 048,000 pounds of honey. In 1880 the harvest had considerably decreased, and this year 'gave only 550,(MX) pounds. The I IS9O census gave 48,418 hives, with a 1 production of 759.000 pounds. The growth for the following years was nothing short of a wonder, 1.091.000 ' pounds being produced by 00.908 hives, the value of honey production and | hives being over $500,000. The annual production In the province of Quebec amounts to 4.000,000 I pounds of extracted honey and t!00,- ' (XM) pounds of comb honey. Hessians in Revolution “Hessian®” Is a term in American history for the German conscripts who i were hired and sent over by England j to help subdue the revolting Colonists. They came from six of the small states 1 of Germany, but as over half of them were from llesse-Cas-sel and Hesse- ! Darmstadt, the name “Hessians” was < generally applied to them. They were first commanded by Lieut. Gen. Phil Ipp von Heister, but he was succeeded by Wilhelm von Knyphausen in 1777. They took a prominent part in the battles of Long Island. White Plains. Trenton, Bennington, Brandywine. Germantown. Guilford courthbuse, Yorktown and several other smaller engagements. Os the approximate 30,(MKi who came over to America, only 17.1XH) returned to Germany. About I 2.2(H) were killed outright or died of ; their wounds. Ten Plagues of Egypt Contrary to the popular notion, there were ten plagues of Egypt, it is a common error to speak of the “seven plagues of Egypt.” The ten plagues, according to the Bible, were at follows: The turning of the Nile into blood, covering the land with frogs, turning the dust into lice, sending swarms (if Lies, killing of the cattle by a murrain. affli.*ting the Egyptians with boils, raining fire and hail, covering the land with locusts, covering | the land with a thick darkness for | three days, and the destruction of I the first born man and beast—ExI change. Work for the Blind Among many remarkable pielures in tlie annual report of the British National Institute for the Blind, perhaps the most striking are those showing the blind engaged in world industries. A blind num Is ringing coins at the royal mint; a blind woman is assenti bling parts, of electric motors; blind t workers are assembling toys; a blind girl is employed in photographic envelope folding; while blind girls wrap sweets and fold cardboard boxes.

By George R. Kinder Eighty-eight miles in one hundred and f: nr minutes was the record made by a new Model A Ford Tudor Sedan in the Speed and Endurance Test staged by the Lloyd Motor Saie.s, Rockford, Tuesday afternoon. This new refined ami improved Ford product, of the Sedan tvpo, made this speedy trip easily and came back to the starting point as cool ns a cucumber and in perfect apple pie order and condition. Von could lay your hand on the top of the motor. There was no indication that the Ford had been driven farther or harder than a spin around a couple of city blocks,. The Tudor showed no evidence of doing the sixty up to and over 72 miles per hour made during this little jaunt around through four neighboring counties and their main cities. The news of the Speed and Endurance Test was wide-spread and there was a large crowd of interested people in town and on hand to see the start, finish and result of the Ford pcrfoi mance. And, too. there was a lot of interest manifested in the guessing contest for the prizes of gasoline for the best guess as to the exact lime it would take the car to go over the route mapped out in the large garage show window. The ballot box contained many guess coupons and cards. The guesses showed a variance from minutes to hours. It was, however, a matter of minutes. Everything was set. and a few minutes before two o'clock. John W. Lloyd, of tile Lloyd Motor Sales, took the driver's seat, and beside him Elmer Drake, mechanic, and Ford expert. In the rear seat were XV. W. Dye of The Rockford Lumber Company, the offeial time-keeper, and George R. Kinder, of The Rockford Press as reporter and general utility man Two o'clock: —one purr, a buzz, a gray streak, and the Ford was out of Rockford corporation. In 5% minutes Mercer was left behind, and the Celina sky line was looming in the dis tance; at 2; 14-the county hub was given the go-by, and the Ford was skirting the north shore of the icebound Grand Reservoir, with the towels and stacks of St. Marys sighted ahead, and at 2:25 coursing down Spring Sin et, the business thoroughfare of that historical city. On out through Moulton to Wapakoneta, and at 2:35 threading through the main artery of this old Indian town, the capital of Auglaize, then on the celebrated Dixie tor Lima, the metropolis of Allen county. Here' is where the car took “the wings of the morning.' cr rather the afternoon, the Speedometer showed 72 and better, and the Ford was keeping up with the indicator. At 2:43% the bridge over the tracks in South Lima was Crossed; at 2:45 down in the city , maneuvering with its traffic, stop , lights and street cars, making one dead slop, and at 2:47 adie«v again > out into the open spaces, homeward

i bound, with ndt extra good roads, and ' Innumerable curves and sharp turns. At 3 o’clock, one hour out. Elida was passed by. Twelve minutes later, at 3:12, coastlug leisurely into the bustling manufacturing city of Delphos. Here came another dead stop due to a traffic block. Then jumping the "raging canal” of pioneer days, and skipping out on the Lincoln. Highway with its sweeping- curves, the Ford scampered along and rolled into Van Wert at 3:27. Down the busy Main street, of this thriving county seat to Shannon St,, and then out on the Wayne Highway, the Ford broke for home. Passing Ohio City nt 2:38. and slowing up for the railroad crossingsand traffic, a mile a minute clip was maintained, then sweeping in across the historic St. Marys river into Rockford, the Ford came to its starting point in front of the garage. The distance being recorded 87.8 miles, and the efffeial time being 1 hour, 43 minutes, 43% seconds. In I round numbers, SS miles, in 104 min- , utes, or only 16 more minutes than miles. This flying trip was made without unusual incident. John W Lloyd had full control of the car at all times, took no unnecessary chances, plowed up to meet all traffic regulations and situations, played safe at the many railroad crossings and on all curves and turns, but let the Ford ramble on the straight away stretches. No other cars passed the Ford on this j luney, and if any were in pursuit they never caught r.rj and exchanged greetings They just watched the Tudor go by. The Tudor at the high speed maintained, lode easy with no jar or vibration. Brakes responded instantly and the pick-up was startling, getting back up to top speed in a few seconds after a complete slow down. The motor was run steadily and never missed a beat for the entire trip, gears shifted twice at the lull stops ! made in Lima and Delphos. Traffic conditions were above the ; average lor the season of the year, Tuesday being a nice bright snappy ! day, brought out many motorists, as well as industry was stimulated, I there being lots of hauling done by trucks and teams. The roads and routes selected were main traveled thoroughfares,. Front Lima to Van Wert the curves and sharp turns and exceedingly many in number and these consumed time and had to be driven with care. But the new' Ford was perfectly at home on good roads , and bad, in heavy traffic and out. and . responded to every bidding of the , driver nad to every emergency Its petformance without, qusetion subi stantiated the claims made for it in > every way by the Ford Motor Co. » The Lloyd Motor Sales put on this ; Endurance rest, to let the new Ford , speak for itself, display its own mer--5 its. and prove its speed. i The Rockford (0) Press
