America’s Great Debt to Pioneer Mothers Pioneer mothers played a great part in American annuls. Following the ones they loved they mudu home* spung up |]j (|| e wilderness. From helping to build the cabin, raising the Ittle crops, weaving the clothes, down the long range of ceatelere toll which frontier life holds, they were co-work-ers with the men who gave America States Instead of 13, Leah A. Knzmark writes, in the National Republic. Around the wide-mouthed fireplaces nt night in the Isolated cabins these mothers of American yesterdays Inld the foundation stones of Twentiethcentury progress. Here they taught lessons before the coming of the schoolmaster; here they taught religion front the precious family Bible long before the steeples of white churches dotted the landscape. Al) the seeds of civilization they planted on each new frontier, as the men planted the wheat In the newly turned soil, drained the swamps anil felled the forevts. Toller, mother, teacher, preacher—all these in one was a typical pioneer woman who furthered the cause of America, Incorrect belief as to Grnwth of Treat A marked oak tree began growing on April 17, and grew regularly unts May 23. Then It begun a rest period of 32 days. On June 24 it started to grow lignin and continued until July 13. At the beginning of the season It I grew for 30 days, then rested for 32 days, and thereafter grew again for I 20 days. During the first growth per i lod It grew ten inches, tin average ol about one-third of an Inch a day. This proves that the belief that trees grow from early spring, when the leaves begin to come out, until the first frost, when they to show their autumn color, Is not correct. For Instance, in the latitude of south ern Pennsylvania the native forest trees make SHI per cent of their height growth in 40 days cf spring and early summer. Trees are fighting for their lives all the time. Women Geographers The Society of Woman Geographers is n society organized in 1925 by a group who felt that there should lie some medium of contact between women distinguished In geographical work and its allied sciences—ethnology, archeology, botany, natural history, sociology, folklore, arts and crafts, etc. For active membership in this society only those women are eligible who have done distinctive work whereby they have added to the world’s store of knowledge concerning the countries In which they have traveled. Corresponding members are those who fulfill toe requirements for active membership, but who reside outside the United States of America and Canada. The associate membership admits widely traveled women who are Interested tn furthering all forms of geographical exploration and research. Distinctive Brigade The name “Orphan Brigade” was given to a body of troops' because they had to leave their own state to join the Confederacy. ‘‘Different accounts have been given as to how the command acquired the designation ol Orphan brigade. Its attitude towards its native state —expatriated by reason of identification wth a causa which Kentucky had not formally up proved; its complete Isolation from hs people; its having been time and again deprived of its commander by transfer to other service, or death in battle—these, all and singular, may have suggested the name which soon fixed itself in the popular mind, and has come to be the real one liy which it will be known in history.” Stone With a Legend Theie is only one stone to he found in all Lithuania, where even the paving cobbles for the town streets have to” be imported from abroad. This solitary stone, a relic of the Ice age. lies In n forest, and being unique has a name of its own, “Puntukas.” The country people say that the devil picked up the stone—one can still see the marks of his claws—to destroy Anyksclai church. He hurled it. says the Washington Star, at the cburcii, but missed, and only broke off the tops of the two steeples. And two truncated steeples-the only ones In all Lithuania—are there to this day to prove It. Earliest Newspapers An authority is inclined to give the credit for the earliest European newspap-r to The Netherlands. A Newe Zuytung, or New Newspaper was found dated in 1520 and telling of the great battle with the links But buck in the days of old Rome there were the Aeta Diurna, or Daily Fvenls which regularly chronicled batties elections, games, religious rites, etc' That daily paper, or bulletin, lasted to the fall of the western empire. Her Brass Band The voting married couple were having lunch at a modest eating-house. The woman was grumbling because they "e re unable to afford the luxurious restaurants which had been a feature of their honeyinoo*’ “You can’t have a brass band everywhere you go." said ‘he man, crossly. “Oh. yes, I can,” unapped Ills wife.
