He was sure that Chuck knew where Polly was and that Polly Chuck had become interested in that other Chuck.

Johnny just gritted his teeth. He was too angry to speak. “Is he big? Is he handsome?

That is what is the matter with you—you are jeal- “No such thing!” retorted Johnny. “Oh, yes, you are,” replied Polly. “You're so jealous that your eyes are green. Tell me about this stranger.

NOWN the world over is the bomb, either in connection with violent activities of political agitators or for military purposes. - At first thought there would not seem to be any relationship between the words bomb and boom; it is the latter, however, which reveals the imitative origin of the former. Bomb comes to us frcm the Latin | bombus, this in turn being derived from the Greek word of similar spell- | ing and meaning & humming or buzz- ing noise. It was originally, as it is today, a | | missile which made a booming sound | as it hurtled through the air, being | so called after this sound which it | necticut.

BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS, 4 O Park T IS thought that this well-known surname derived its origin from the fact that the residence of one of the first to assume the name was near a park. In ancient times a park | consisted of a large tract of wooded land inclosed and stocked with deer or other beasts or fowls of the chase. The surname Parker is derived from the office of a parker—or one who superintends the park. There are several separate and dis- tinct familles in the United States today who bear the names Park, Parke or Parks. Some families of that name in New York State and some of the New England States derive their line- age from Robert Parke, who was born | in England about 158Q, came to| America in 1630 and settled in Con- | ant, went to Canada, where a line of Parks exists today, Some of the de- | scendents of Robert Parke went to| Pennsylvania, one of them Simon Parke, who was born in Plainfield, Conn,, in 1769, and. later went to| Pennsylvania to claim land owned by | his father, Nehemiah Parke. He set- | tled in Franklin, Susquehanna | County. Arthur Parke, another Pennsyl- vania settler, appears to have estab- lished his home there before 1720, in Chester County, emigrating from County Donegal, Ireland. He repre- sented a family of Scotch-Irish Pres- byterians. Samuel Park was a settler in Washington County, Pa., about the year 1794. He, too, had been a native of County Donegal, Ireland. Park, Parks and Parkes in the South were represented by a number of early settlers in Virginia. Ebenezer Park, one of the pioneers in Kentucky, was the son of John Park of Virginia. He married Tabitha Mills of Salisbury, D. C, THURSDA APRIL 11, 1935. Nature’s Children White Birch (Betula Populifolia). BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. HESE graceful trees have the birch habit of outgrowing their clothes and shedding them the year ’'round. Watch how strangely splotched their limbs appear, and in big cities there are old tattered birch garments scattered over the sidewalks for all the world to see, This is a family trait and by it you can identify your birch neighbors. There are 28 species of the genus Betula distributed over the Northern Hemisphere. Ten of them belong to North America. Seven or eight are Asiatic and six European. The white birch of Europe extends through Asia to Japan. In America many varieties of birch are cultivated. ‘This is the only one of our birches that most resembles the European white birch. And it is the only one that might be confused with the canoe birch, It is not a large tree and does not live to a ripe old age, like its cousins. It is one that serves as a nurse tree for the slow-growing hardwoods and its foliage quakes so much of the time it has even been called tQe aspen-leaved birch. Along the coast from Nova Scotia to Delaware, northwest to Lake On- | tario, where the soil is gravelly, or along the borders of s&amps, you see meany of these trees. They rarely reach a height of 40 feet. The slender | branches are horizontal and have | dancing foliage. In April the flowers of both types| blossom, the male or staminate ones in terminal catkins, either single or | paired, and the female or pistillate ones are one-half-inch long catkins and are pale green. The buds are slender and brown and the leaves are alter- nate, simple and from 2 to 3 inches long. They are a lovely dark green above and a lighter shade underneath. Because they hang on slender, twisted stems the least little breeze makes them tremble, The seeds are unusual, about one inch long, blunt, cylindrical cones, drooping and covered with downy scales. The little nutlet is oval and is provided with a broad wing. N. C., where they lived for a time. Later they moved to Madison County, Ky., with their family of 10 children, Parks in that State.

Slipcovers made to fit your over- stuffed furniture for the Summer are a real investment. They protect the upholstery from dust and spots, as well as from the sun. Strangely enough, when you remove the covers in the Autumn you will find that the furniture appears fresher and more colorful than when you covered it in the Spring. The “time out” from air and light seems to bring about a true rejuvenation of the fabric. Be- fore putting the covers in place be sure that the upholstery has been thoroughly cleaned, either with a vacuum cleaner attachment, or with a whisk broom. pHAPS VEGETABLE ‘oN'T WOMEN’S FEATURES, Little Benny BY LEE PAPE. 2 FELLERS was late for school today, being Shorty Judge and Puds Simkins, making Miss Kitty mad on account of the werst thing you can be is late according to her ideer, and she said, The least I can hope is that it was unavoldable in both cases, ahd unavoldable meens ony one thing, it meens tkrough no fault of your own, 50 unless such is the case please save your breth and spare the valuble time of the rest of the clsss.
