Cactus Rather Unfriendly in Appearance, hut Really : Is Delightful When Known

BY WALTER I). HI UMAX. Sweetness lurks In the prickly cactus plant. And that sweetness is just another word for candy. The cactus hag neTer impressed me as being a “sweet” plant because it has a nasty way of showing its temper, but I discovered at the Rational Flower Show at the Indiana State fairground lovely yellow candy can be made the cactus plant. 1 wanted to sample the candy, but a policeman was hot on my trail.. Copper or no copper, I imagined how good the golden candy would taste. The candy is ex- . . . hibited In • glass case by taAftk Ste somebody living -ABffju. in Tuscon, Ariz. 'IBt There are sev- , * eral jirickiy cac- '' • t tus leaves in the Jfc. jp prove, I guess, gj : that the temp- Jr* golden candy ' —f^ - came from sues 'Ay One can't judge parents now- |fc' sygijß days you know jkrSJO-o .KgsjpA I say if Eve bad tempted * Adam with C a c t u s candy such as exhibited at the flower show. I have a hunch the bee would have been" the snake in the Garden of Eden. ALMOST FORGOT SOMETHIXO. ♦i, nearly forgot to tell you there is strangest flower on view at the show. It is cailed “Bird of Paradise.” Can’t describe it but I have a hunch Mr. Burbank has a secret stored away in that flower. There is lot of gold to this Paradise flower and the funniest shaped “head” and “face." There was such a mob of people standing around a hugh bunch of gorgeous red roe g near the fish exhibit, even a newspaper reporter had to visit his turn to get near the precious exhibit. The roses

Producing documents which showed him tc fte an h .orably discharged Germau soldier and holder of the Iron Cross, an applicant for membership in the American Legion st Mexico City, Mexico, said be thought the organization took in aft soldiers regardless of where they ever fought.

A Chicago man was given six months in jail following his exposure by the Legion as a fake soldier.

Texas has received Slfl.ooo from the American Legion as the State ex-service men's share in the expense of building anew hospital.

Oh, Spring, Spring, Beautiful Spring! HUNTINGTON. W. Va.. March 28. Huntington police have declared war on "movable hugs.” Chief of Police Coon instructed members of his department to arrest joy riders who Insist on bugging girls [while riding down Huntington's ! streets. In the future such cases, which the ; chief termed “public displays of immodesty,” will be dealt with severely. The chief said such public spoonwould not be tolerated in HuntThe “back seat love parties” will be eliminated, according to tbs chiefs plans. Any boys and girls thus caught displaying mutual affections before the Huntlugton public gaze will be arrested and baled before a police judge on a disorderly conduct charge. -Chief Coon said antomoblle “pet- ! ting parties" were one of the results of modern day short dresses. “Short dresses make short modesty,” declared the chief. "These automobile episodes are a result of young men taking for t granted that young women are not as modest as they used to be. "The short' skirts the girls wear ' show they are regarding modesty as |tfa lost virtue.” V,

which are causing such a sensation are called “Hoosicr Beauty” and are so named in honor of “our Indiana ladies.” The exhibit is a splendid tribute to the womanhood of the State. There is another rose which Is causing much comment at the show. It is called “New Rose Augelus." ’ftiis might be the musical rose, but if they be musical at all. it is expressed in exquisite perfume. They are exhibited by the Charles H. Totty Company of Madisou, N. J. SIGN MAKES • HICK” HOMESICK. Then I saw a sign over an exhibit which made me feel so much at home. It read. “J. W. Davis & Cos.” of Terre Haute. “Gosh,” said I to myseif.- “Is the cucumber a flower? The Davis company is famous for its cucumbers.” So I walked right up to the gentleman in the booth and asked him, “Where are your cucumbers? That's what I want to know." He smiled and said, “Are you from Terre Haute?” I wouldn't admit anything. One can't be too careful with strangers, you know. He told me the firm didn't enter auy roses for prizes but were presenting a few flowers to give an idea what caD be done in Indiana. I was much disappointed, in not seeing a cucumber at the flower show, but I was informed the cucumber was a “fruit — not a flower." Still insisting to myself the cucumber must be a flower or a bloom some time in its career, I walked up near the entrance of the show. Suddenly a wee little miss who nestled snugly in the arms of her father, piped up, “Oh. Daddy, see the pretty dolly I" DOLL DRIVES FLOCK OF DOVES. My attention was directed to a striking exhibit showing a big doll driving a flock of doves over a marvelous flower bed. This exhibit is a delight to every child who visits the flower show. Just as pretty as the flowers Is a large exhibit of butterflies. These pretty creature# were cont-ibuted by the Indiana State conservation department and makes possible this valuable educational exhibit at the show. It is attracting much attention. Flowerland was all decked out in Its marvelous beauty last night. The statue of liberty, which forms the center piece of the exposition, was magnificent as sprays of water played around her Electric lights of various colors are used to dazzling effect. Liberty is one of the worthwhile sights at the show. Indianapolis as well as the entire State is paying tribute to flowerland this week. Thousands of people packed the big Manufacturers' hall last night and admired the flowers In all of their wonderous beauty. Some day there is going to be a big red rose missing at the flower show and that copper will know just where to search for it. Today was St. Louis, Louisville aud Madison day at the show.

DRY AGENTS IN HAVANA TO DAM BOOZE AT SOURCE HAVANA.

Duncan Tells How to Learn Code

BT R. L. DUNCAN, Director Radio Institute of America. Radio fans who want to get more out of the air than the broadcast programs must memorize the International Morse Code. This may be done by visualization. But it is mv.eh easier to learn it by sound. A tapping of a pencil will do. The best way, however, is to rig up a lit Je buzzer and hear the real thing. Get a high pitched buzzer, an ordinar> telegraph key and a common dry battery. They can be purchased in any supply store at a small cost. Mount the key on a table or desk, allowing plenty of room for the forearm. Connect the battery and buzzer according to the diagram. , When your hand is set have your wrist clear aud your thumb resting lightly against the knob of the key. The index and third fingers should be on top and the other two fingers should be curved back into the hand. WRIST DOES WORK. The wrist should do the sending—the thumb and fingers acting merely as a guide for the wrist. The spring in the key should be screwed down Just enough to force the key up after each wrist action. tBUZZER_y& \ SENDING l 0 KEY BATTEG.Y L j| if. 1 Practice Set for Beginner. Having noted these preliminaries, the beginner is ready to start. A dash is held approximately three times as long as a dot. A dot is held just long enough to get a short, snappy sound from the buzzer. Take the first letter —dot.dash. Repeat several times Listen Intently. Note the difference between the dot and dash. Watch your position. Don't be lu a hurry. You will memorize the code soon enough. Make each character concise In Itself. Don’t leave any 6pace between the dot and the dash of the first letter. LEARN SLOW. When you have learned the “A” of your wireless ABC, take the next letter. It Is much harder. Stop after each effort. Don't take more than four letters a day. Be sure you know those before you go on to tbe next group. When you feel that you have mastered the alphabet, learn the code for the period, comma, question mark and error. No need to bother about other characters. Don’t expect to start plucking messages out of the air immediately. It will take a little time before you will be snre of yourself. But once you get started, you will realize that there is lots more in the air— Than the voices and concerts sent broadcast. Uses Small Wire to Hang Self in Jail Special to The Tinier.
