SUNFLOWERS FAIL AS SILAGE; WEED SHOWN WORTHLESS MANHATTAN, Kas After all, the common wild sunflower of Kansas is just a useless weed, and attempts by scientists to make it anything else so far have failed. L.st fall ten tons of wild sunflowers were put into a silo between layers of corn silage by the dairy department of the Kansas State Agricultural college. A feeding test was arranged early in the winter. Five cows were fed wild sunflower silage, alfalfa hay and a grain mixture consisting of 4 parts of corn chop and 2 parts bran and 1 part oil meal. Previous to the beginning of the feeding test the cows had received corn silage in addition to the hay and grain. When changed to the sunflower silage they ate sparingly of it and failed to become accustomed to it. The cows decreased in milk production and lost body weight. The average loss of body weight was 66 pounds per head for the 24 days the test was conducted . Each had decreased 3.4 pounds in daily production of milk by the end of the period. They were then changed to cane F.ilage and in 24 days gained 25 pounds per head and all but one increased in milk production.

SUN - TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

'VACATION' STRIKE UP TO COMMITTEE SHAMOKJN, Pa., Sept. 22. Whether the "vacation" srike of anthracite mine workers in the Shamokln district is to be continued depends today on the meeting of the general mine committee of the United Mine Worker officials. It is thought that the miners will vote for an immediate resumption of work at all local collieries. Christ Golden, district president of the mine workers, said that miners would probably return to work in order to learn the extent of the threatened discrimination against monthly men who quit work in sympathy with the coal diggers. Twelve collieries em ploying more than 10,000 miners continued idle In the district. WORDS IS WORDS, AND THEY GOME FROM ALL SORTS OF ORIGIN There are many laughs in ordinary words for the initiated which are lost to the man who holds that "language is language, and that's all there is to it." For instance, the next time you meet some dignified person who is wearing a goatee tell him he looks like a billygoat. If he doesn't wreck you he is pretty liable to cripple you. And yet his cherished goatee takes its name from its similarity to a goat's beard, according to some Interesting books at the Public Library. When you use the expression, "By gosh." if you do use it, are you aware that you are swearing in the view of the Decalogue and modern American Uw both? "Gosh" is a corruption of God. "Golly" Is Not Swearing. On the other hand, "golly" merely is a "common colloquial negroism used as a substitute for an oath." The old Puritan laws against swearing are responsible for many corruptions of the language, since men apparently must swear, and prohibition of swearing by the Puritan fathers led them to Invent many corruptions of regular words to express their feelings when their pressure rose to about 110 pounds to the square inch. When you call a man a "piker" did you know you are using thieves slang? The word oce was an old English term used by thieves to designate a fellow thief who had more discretion than valor. What's a "Picayune"? Many persons seem to believe a "picayune" is a small United States coin used exclusively in New Orleans and the Gulf states. It is not. The nickel B-cent piece, however, often is called a picayune in the south. The word also is used for anything small and insignificant. It originally was a name developed in the southern states for the Spanish half real coin, worth 64 cents and which circulated largely there. The word comes from the French "pecune" or "picaillon," meaning insignificant. "A No. 1," signifying first grade, originated in the practice of Lloyds' British insurance company rating ships in first-class condition as A No. 1. "Bum" Is From German. "Bum," meaning a worthless fellow or anything defective or of little value, is believed to have come from the German word "bummier," a word oi similar significance. "Gob sticks," a common name for knives and forks, though little used in Ohio, comes from "gob," British slang for mouth. Chop sticks, the name for Chinese eating implements, are supposed to have come from the pidgin English name "chop," for food of any kind. "Leave no stone unturned" is a common injunction implying thoroughness of effort. It is of ancient descent, being traced to a response of the Delphic oracle to Polycrates. who wished to find a treasure buried by Xerxes' general, Mardonius, on the field of Platea. Old Documents Shed Light on the Pilgrim's Holland Residence (By Associated Press) LEYDEN, Holland, Sept. 22. New light is thrown on the residence of the Pilgrim Fathers in Holland by three old documents which Professor Eekhof discovered in the archives of Leyden and which he published on the occasion of the Dutch Pilgrim Fathers' celebration here. One of the documents is a contract signed by John Robinson, leader of the Pilgrims, declared to be the only signature of Robinson which has been preserved, and this discovery may lead to the identification of other writings by him. The second document is a letter written by William Bradford a short time before his departure from Holland. He was afterward governor of Massachusetts Bay colony. The third paper Dr. Eekhof discovered i3 the last will of Bridget White, John Robinson's wife, and contains a considerable quantity of interesting information about Robinson's household. Dr. Eekhof has added to his work the facsimiles of the three documents. New Orleans is decorating itself with a 10-mi'e belt of flowers which In time will extend to all parts of the city. Alkali in Shampoos Bad For Washing Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get Mulsified at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair-with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh-looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Be sura vnnr rimiririil fIv.,

A suggestion that governments should employ ethnologists in en advisory capacity was made by Professor Karl Pearson of London University at the annual conference of the British Association which is just being held here. The governments of Europe, the professor added, had all kinds of experts in their service, but no ethnological advisers. "One has only to study the peace of Versailles to see that it is ethnologically unsound and cannot be permanent," he said. "India, Egypt, Ireland, even our present relations with America and Italy, show only too painfully how difficult we find it to appreciate the psychology of other nations." MEXICO PLANS TO TAKE OVER RAILROAD LINES MEXICO CITY, Sept 22. Plans by which the government would take over the Mexican Light and Power company and the Mexico City Street railways will 6oon be laid before either the president or congress, it was announced by the treasury department last night.

TEACHER SHORTAGE IS MENACE EDUCATOR?

i

President Edwards, of Earlham college, Is In receipt of the following from the National Education association: "The teacher shortage remains a menace to the public schools, according to preliminary reports made public today by the National Education Association. Replies to questionnaires sent out by the association have come from all sections of the United States. These reports show that 4 In place where teachers' salaries have been increased one hundred per cent or more the situation is nearly always satisfactory. "But such places are' comparatively few, and in localities' where salaries have been Increased fifty per cent or less the teacher shortage is commonly greater than a year ago. Rural communities are hardest hit. Signed reports from superintendents of many counties indicate that a third of their rural schools cannot open for want of teachers. Tens of thousands of schools will be in charge of teachers who have had no professional preparation and whose academic training barely exceeds that of the hcildren they teach. "Relief from this serious situation, which imperils the stability of American rural life, wll be sought from the next session of congress. Renewed efforts will be made to obtain -the passage of the Smith-Towner bill, which creates a department of education with a secretary in the President's cabinet and provides federal aid of $100,000,000 for education." Delaware -has only seven women physicians, six in Wilmington and one in Seaford. 330? iilii' A POPULAR STYLE. Pattern 3309 is here depicted. It is cut in three sizes: 12, 14, and IP years.
