Is Name Given 1 To Many Flowers By AL HOBART The term Spring Beauty, like the name Myrtle, is so lavishly applied colloquially that it is almost meaningless unless the plant in question is proffered or pointed out when named. Com mon names of wildflowers don't have much meaning ususally ex cept in the locality where each is used. In addition to their sci entific names, botanists use in their writings common names of the flowers that have been select ed by them as logical and appro priate. As for the name Spring Beau ty, there are several species of Claytonias and Montias, all in the Purslane family, that are rec ognized by different writers as being rightfully entitled to that charming common name. But our local "Spring Beauty" Is something altogether differ ent. Its real name is Slender Tooth wort (Denttaria tenella) and it belongs to the mustard family. It blooms in late Febru ary at medium altitudes, some what earlier than the real Purs lane Spring Beauties. Nearly everyone locally refers to our pretty little Toothwort as Spring Beauty: and inasmuch as it is a common flower in our area, greets us very early in the spring, and is indeed a beauty, the title seems appropriate enough, if not strictly according to Hoyle. Although the haphaz ard application of common names is often confusing, chang ing the situation would be next to impossible, even if desirable. Most of us find it interesting to learn new local names of a fa miliar wildflower. The one or two basal leaves of this little plant vary in shape but generally are almost round in outline or somewhat longer than wide and with three or more shallow lobes, often pur plish on the under side, leaf stems (petitoles) several inches long. There are usually one or two stem leaves, and these are a dinerent snape aitogetner; they have three or more slender divisions. The flower stem, 4 to 8 inches high, bears a loose clus ter (raceme) of rose-pink or whit ish flowers about a half-inch long. This little Toothwort, or "Spring Beauty," although nei ther very large nor showy, is certainly one of the loveliest of our early spring flowers. HOT DIP FOR SHRIMP To prepare a "hot dip" for shrimp or fish sticks that will be the talk of your next party, merely heat a can of spaghetti sauce with mushrooms over the simmer flame of your gas range and add a few drops of lemon juice. Sundiy, Mireh 91, 1857 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE Dance Studios Work on Steps To Fit Beat of Calypso Music Gay Pauley By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Calypso dances to go with calypso music are on the way, and the bop set no longer will have to fit bop or jitterbug to i t s Caribbean beat. I report this as a public service for all who like to dance, and in particular for college stu dents. In talking with a group of them during a trip to College Station, Tex., for the annual Southwestern Journalism con ference, I kept hearing one com plaint -"We don't have a step to go with calypso music." So what has the college, set been doing when the band swings into the current rage of the musie world? "We do bop or jitterbug." said one small, well-stacked coed from Texas College for Women. "pr, we just follow the boy and let him worry," said an other. "Sometimes we settle for the fox trot." Well, it won't be long until dancers on and off-campus will be doing hip-swinging variations of the dance directly from Trini dad and Jamaica. Three studios with branches in major cities already have be gun calypso instruction. Arthur Murray Studios didn't hurry to include the steps in its repertory. but a spokesman said patterns were being worked out and "will te ready in a couple of months. ' ; Primitive Dance "Calypso is a primitive dance," said Anne Leone, who teaches for Dale Dance Studios, Inc. "But our variations will be so cially acceptable." The Dale calypso is based on the box step, and four beats of music. Here's how. Step forward with the left foot on the first beat. Hold, for one beat. On the third step -o the side with the right foot. And on the fourth, bring the feet together. Now, step back with the right foot and hold . . .f this takes two beats. On the third beat, move the left foot to the side. On the fourth, bring the right over to join it. "It's a hold-quick-quick-hold pattern," said Miss Leone. Still standing? Now, use your imagination. "The whole secret of calypso, once you have the basic step, is to do whatever comes in your head," she said. "We're working out variations in which the part nersbreak, and it's every man for himself." "Actually," Miss Leone added, "calypso is easy if you can do the bop. Bop is just our present generation's undulations based on Latin rhythms." Same Old Thing Don Phillips, whose studios have taught ballroom dancing for 25 years, features calypso on the four-beat pattern too. "It's a little like fox trot, with Cuban movement," said Pallini. The Fred Astaire Studios teach two variations of the dance one a Trinidadian draggy, lazy version, and the other Jamaican gay and happy. Dance Director Frank Pagliaro said students learn the Jamaican first, and then branch out to the Trinidadian which is more com plicated and has a different beat. "In either version, steps are from the hip," he explained. "But in calypso the sway is to the back, rather than from side to side, as in the rhumba. "And all calypso steps have bounce, no glide. Calypso is danced as if the floor underneath were a spring." The studios think the calypso will be danced as long as calypso music is played. "But I doubt if it ever will replace the fox trot," said Pagliaro. 4-T""i--Vt "-ate. When you'rs looking- f or new ways to prepare foods that are old favorites, don't overlook the possibilities offered by scallops. This delectable shellfish from the cold ocean can be prepared in many delightful ways. For quick scallop chowder uto 1 can (13 oz.) ready-to-terr vichytoisse and 'i lb. (5 or 6) sea scallops for 2 servings. Cook scallops 5 minutes in boiling salted water to cover. Drain. Cut in halves or quarters. Add to vichysoisse; heat to serving temperature but do not allow to boil. Serve at once, garnished with cut chiyes. So - called "polished" cotton fabrics are best washed in warm, rather than hot water with soap or detergent suds and rinses. In a gas dryer, it is simple to main tain the correct low heat for drying. Too much heat would soften the resin finishes that are applied to cotton for added lus ter of "polish." The resins con tribute permanent crispness, crease resistance, and easier ironing. The temperature range in the United States has varied from 134 degrees in Death Valley, Calif., to 60 below zero in parts of Montana. 1:30 p.m. Jolly Stitchers, home of Mrs. Don Robbins, 1002 Jasper ave. 6:30 p.m. Phoenix PTA, Grade school cafeteria.
