Adam's Rib Apl
Name tor This Plant
Once a man by the name of
Adam, who reportedly lived
in a beautiful garden, was
supposed to have lost a rib,
and everyone, ever since, has
been glad he did.
Whether you believe it or
not is not the point of this
article, but the fact remains,
that the story persists, and
long has stimulated the im
aginations of men and wo
men. Now, it has once more been
revived by alert ad writers
who wish to sell the leaves
of a plant that bears a strange
resemblance to "Adair's rib."
The ad writer calls this leat
Adam's rib because, when the
leaf is detatched from tha
parent plant and pinned to
a window curlain or laid on
a dry desk or table, it will
send out tiny green sprouts
which grow into good sized
plants. No fuss, no pot, no
water, no soil. As if the coined
phrase were not enough, tha
ad writer enlarged on it and
came up with such intriguing
descriptive words as "Magic
leaf" or "miracle leaf."
'Plant Children'
Should you buy one of these
leaves, the directions on tha
label would tell -you that tha
little "plant children" sprang
from the "original rib", and
that each can be cut off as
a separate plant. The peculiar
thing about the entire deal
is that what the man said was
true. He is handing out the
"correct dope."
There are many people who
have a plant growing in their
own yards that they never
recognize as Adam's rib. Of
course, as is natural with so
many common things, thero
are many common names.
some of which give no indi
cation as to the real natura
of the object.
In some sections Adam's
rib is called "cathedral bells,"
because of the greenish col
ored, bell-shaped blossoms.
The little "bells" look mora
like tiny lanterns than bells,
so "lantern plant" became an
other common name.
' The flowers are borne in,
clusters during the late fall
or winter months. The iarga
leaves are thick and fleshy,
and notched around the outer
edges. It is from these notches
the baby plants spring when
the leaf is laid on a desk.
Purple yeins in the leaves are)
usually present.
Other Names
Because of its ability lo
grow numerous plants from a
percn on a window drape.
someone thought the plant
should rightly be named
"chandelier plant." Later, ob
serving the thin, paper-like
blossoms, someone else
thought it should be named
"floppcr." The plant, by what
ever name, is really a tropi
cal perennial belonging to tha
ltgwort family, and is, closely
retatea to the old-fashioned
"hen and chickens;" the plant
that was usually a part of
grandma's garden.
But with all the cleverness
we have in selecting descript
ive names and the originality
of an alert ad writer, tha
name "Adam's rib" must bo
considered the winner.

Sawdust Tested
For Boxboards
Corvallis - Sawdust from
Douglas fir may become a
new raw material for produc
tion of corrugatca paper used
in manufacture of boxboards,
according to R. M. Samuels,
in charge of studies on pulp
and paper at the Oregon For
est Research Center here.
An expanding boxboard in
dustry in the Pacific North
west could provide a market
for this wood residue.
Tests at the Research Cen
ter have indicated that paper
made from Douglas fir saw
dust does not have great
strength, but is crush-resistant.
Paper for corrugated parts of
boxboards need not have con
ventional properties of
strength, but must be crush
resistant, stated Samuels.
Alder presently is being
used in manufacture of cor
rugated paper. Utilization of
sawdust in making this paper
would produce a higher re
turn than mills now receive
selling sawdust as fuel. In
addition, other mills might
find a market for sawdust,
Samuels said.
Other effects of sawdust on
quality of paper are being In
vestigated by wood scientists
in this study.
Research in pulp and paper
at the Research Center is sup
ported by a tax on timber
