WASHINGTON, June 8 (UP)— One of the most complete collections of those curious plants that eat animals will be exhibited here today and tomorrow at the national flower show of .the American Horticultural Soci-!
ety.
Included in the colection which has been assembled by Agriculture Department botanists, i.- a fine specimertt of the voracious venus fly trap which Charles Darwin described as "the most wonderful plant in the
world.
While scientists have recorded each movement of his plant in its animal devouring operation, its nature remains a mystery. Its native habitat is the shoreline of North and South Carolinas and it is seldom seen out-
side this area.
The two leaves of the plant are shaped to resemble an open mouth

WHIPPET < ITED AS IDEAL CAR FOR WOMEN DRIVERS
With the number of women drivers increasing by thousands and thou-ands each year, automobile manufacturers more than ever before consider this factor in the design and construction of their products. This is aimed at by providing as many conveniences arid safety features as possible, that will appeal, not only to women, hut to all drivers. A clear example of this is seen in the Willys-Overland Company’s new line of Whippet fours and sixes. Notable among the outstanding conveniences on these cars i- the “FingerTip Control." This consists of a button conveniently placed in the center
The Ripon version of the patty’s birth is as follows: Alvan Earle Bovay, a lawyer, and prominent Whig, moved from New Y'nrk to Wi-consin in 1850 and although active in politics he felt that his own party faced disintegration. In 1852 Bovay was visiting Horace Greeley in New Y’ork during the time of the National Whig Convention. Bovay at that meeting advanced the idea of a new party with the idea of bringing together the anti-slavery element in all parties. Greeley asked what name would be given the new party and Bovay suggested “Repub-
lican.”
At that time, however, Greeley was positive that the Whigs would win the next election and did not accept Bovay’s suggestion. But the Whigs were defeated and the party eollap-ed. Introduction of the "Kansus-N’eb-rasku" bill by Sen. Stephen A. Douglas aroused indignation from the an-ti-slaveri groups in the north. Late in February of 1854, while the bill was still la-fore the Senate, Bovay

OverI ten returns and inadvertently re veals his lore to Diane and part of | Die true story. Then Faunre sees Overton and finds thatlhe wants to conceal hit (Fanner's) rowardiee for the sake of Diane. Faunre. tortured by this thought, confesses to
| pedltion. Fanner threw into what he said of it a show of force and <«ven of enthusiasm, ami the doctor had listened without showing that his own thoughts recurred persistently to that night long ago when ( this man had confessed to him in
the old office at home.

"I told you I had seen Overton,” ahe replied slowly, speaking with an effort, as if the words were painful. "It was Overton—who made me see it all. see it so plainly that 1 couldn't think why I'd—I'd ever been blind!” "Overton?" the judge was bewildered. "Why. the man's In love with you. Di!” She bent her head at that, tears In her eyes. "I know it," she spoke so low that her words were almost inaudible. "that's why I—I saw it all so plainly. I'm not that kind of a woman!” "What kind of a woman? What

man"
"Good Isird!” cried the judge furiously, "you came to me! It's not your fault if Overton kept on ! loving you, Is It? You haven't run sway with Overton, have you?" , "If I signed that paper it—H would be almost the same thing! I—I feel tired," she said in her low voice, "I can't argue now, papa. { | " she turned suddenly and lifted her face to his and kissed ) him- -"I’m going up to my room to

She stood now, just inside her own door, motionless, her unseeing eyes fixed on the window opposite. Had she fled from tier husband — not because she abhorred his deed,
l didn't want them, but
there's one " He stopped abruptly, began to pull at his cigar,
and seemed embarrassed. "Well, there's one ”
Gerry cave him a keen glance. A dull red mounted in the white face, and Faunce frowned. J "He knows, or thinks he knows, • something about the other expedition. and suspects that I can't af-
ford to risk his telling It.”
“1 thought, at one time, that you dreaded the secret; yet you’ve let Overton keep back the truthYou're up to your neck In his debt,”
continued Gerry.
Faunce leaned forward in his
chair.
"I feel the same way now. but we agreed to keep it quiet—there didn't seem to he any other way.” "And he gave up the command to you. too. It seems to me you're getting a good deal more out of It than he Is—on the face of It, at
least.”
"Yon think he's paying a big price for a broken potsherd? Well, he isn't doing It for my sake'” Faunce sank back again in his seat, the spark of his half-smoked cigar dying out between his fingers. Then ho turned his head quickly ' and fixed his haggard eyes on the I doctor "Have you seen my wife ! lately’” j Gerry shook his head. "Not for some days—a week, I ! think." | "When she left me—when I saw ) the look she gave me—if I'd dared, | if I'd had a white man's courage, j I'd have hung myself!” He spoke with such passion and force that 1 It shook him out of his apathy. He stretched nut a shaking hand toward the doctor. "For God's sake. man. give me a dose that'll deaden my nerves, so that I'll have the courage to kill myself!" Dr. Gerry grunted. “You'll do that without my help, at the rate you're going.” j Faunce laughed bitterly again. '• "You mean with chloral? t j stopped It for a while, but 1 , couldn't sleep I can't, with this thing pursuing me. I thought I would pay off the score, and get free of It; hut there’s my wife— I had to think of her ff she stays away, if she will have a divorce, then"—he threw back his head and j drew a long breath—“then I'll cut i loose!” "You mean, you'll give It all ' away, and hear the odium, rather than stay bound to Overton?" Faunce nodded, rising, and toss- , Ing Ills dead cigar out of the win- ; dow. Then tie turned with a ges- ' lure of disgust. "At the price fm paying, life isn’t worth living!” he exclaimed.

The thought was hideous, unboliev

She walked slowly across her room again to the window and knelt down, resting her hands on ! the sill, and looking out toward ihe western sky. A now thought came to her. or rather her inner consciousness shaped itself into a concrete form The tie that hound her to Arthur Faunce was the primitive bond of all the ages. She had chosen him. he was her husband. What could her father do? What J could Overton, or any other man do. "Those whom God hath joined | together," the words came to her ) with a new meaning, a meaning Which shook her to her soul. The tie was too deep, it was rooted now In her heart, and she knew It. It was as deep as the instinct which was awakening slowly but surely within her. the primal instinct of life, of mating time, of the birds of the air. of the lioness calling to her mate In the Ju..gle,
It was not until he got a clear look at Arthur Faunce’s face under the strong light of the readinglamp that Dr. Gerry realized the full effect of the crisis, moral and physical, upon the younger man. The old doctor had come in to New York on business connected with {his practice, and In the evening, on I his way to the station, he had looki ed up the apartment house from I which Faunce had phoned to him 1 on more than one occasion. He : had found him alone, completing 1 his arrangements for the departure of the expedition to the south pole. ' They had been talking of the ex-

Faunce moved restlessly about the room, still smoking. He had almost completed the business thst had occupied him be fore ihe doctor's visit Everything was. In fact, in good order; tho ship would sail soon, and. In spite of a certain veiled objection on the part of the promoters of the enterprise, there was no real opposition to Faunce as the leader. The greatest difficulty was in his own mind.

The authorities have threatened to tondemn the building unless prompt action is taken to make it safe. The rector of the church ha started n drive for $25,000 for repairs to save it. "Little Dorrit’s Church” was built in 173*5, and wa- given its popular nickname because one of Dickens' characters often slept in the vestry with the church register as her pillow. Upon the site of St. Gcorge-the-Martyr stood another church dating back to 1122 in the time of the Saxons. It is the earliest if not the oldest church in London. EXTENSIVE AIR TOUR
