Why Mistletoe Is Disliked
The mistletoe plant fnstens Itself
upon the tree, penetrates Its tissues
and draws nourishment from It, de
forming It nnd sapping Its vitality. Yet
the mistletoe Is n green leafy plant;
that Is, It possesses the pigment chlor
ophyll, which gives the green color of
normal vegetation.
Why Fish Do Without Sleep
The bureau of fisheries says that
fish do not sleep. They rest and re
main quiet In nooks of streams, hut
never close their eyes.
Just why do women nag their hus-
Imnds and children us so many of them
are always doing?
Ginu Lombroso, the famous Italian
woman scientist, lias a very Interesting
answer to give this question. She says
that a woman's "nagging" is simply a
by-product of her finest trait, her
sovereign activity.
“ There Is no virtue that has not Its
defect,” she says. “ It must be ad
mitted that women nre of a more com
bative temperament than men. They
are always blrkerlng. quarreling with
husband, friends, servants, In fact,
pretty much with everybody, and If
they are not fighting openly they are
usually boiling with wrath inside.
“ Men are more even tempered, and
families where the masculine element
predominates are generally more
peaceable than families where the
feminine element Is the stronger.
‘‘ But why nre meu more peace
able? Simply because they are more
Indifferent to things. Because man’s
only desire Is to be left In peace. He
shuts one eye, or even both, to what
ever goes on around him, provided
things do not get so had that he has
to tuke a hand himself, or get someone
else to do so.
"Woman, on the contrary, who Is
blessed with a desire to do things, can
not bear to see them badly done. She
Inevitably steps In to correct what she
thinks Is wrong, to remonstrate If her
orders are not carried out, aud sooner
•r later she loses her temper.“

A NEAR CASUALTY ON CRATER
LAKE HIGHW AY
Harold Berry, a well-known man
o f Medford, plunged o ff the Crater
Lake highway near Prospect, at
about 5 o ’clock Sunday afternoon,
sustaining serious injury.
The young man claims the accel
erator on the car became “ stuck”
causing a burst o f speed owing to
which he was unable to make the
turn, which at this point is very wide.
Going ten feet farther than the
location o f the fatal dive o f two
weeks ago, Berry’s car went 15 feet
down the incline hitting the tree
head on. He was stunned and sat
in the car over an hour holding the
steering wheel before recovering
complete control o f his senses.
Climbing out he wandered toward
Prospect and little over an hour
later arrived at the California Ore
gon Power company plant, where he
received first aid.
Berry relates he was en route to
the Diamond Lake country on a
hunting trip, but because o f unfa
miliarity with the country, was not
sure o f the location o f the branch
road leading o ff o f the highway
above Union creek. He had turned
back toward Medford to make sure
o f bearings when the accident hap
pened.
The car, wheih is a total wreck,
was brought to Medford while young
Berry is recovering from minor
bruises, although not suffering from
any dangerous injuries.
