Watkins (Register 4; Tribune syndicate, 1063) Is It 'Robin-Run-In-the-Hedge,' 'Duckweed' or 'Waii-a-Bit ? There are more varieties of fish that eat "duckweed" than there are ducks, but it would appear to be a little silly to call it fishweed. More duck weed Is used in indoor fish aquariums than is used in duck ponds. Neither should this plant be called a weed. It is much too small to be a weed and grows in an unlikely place -on the surface of fresh water ponds and lakes. On a pond, under favorable conditions, a mass of duckweed may be acres in extent, and so heavy and luxuriant in growth as to completely cover the pond. There may be hundreds of pounds of duckweed but not a single duck in sight. Seen en masse, however, duckweed is deceiving, as the individual plant does not amount to much; each plant is very tiny, so small it floats on the water's surface. Examined closely it is a plant of very simple structure. Just why it should have been named duckweed is pretty vague, un less it is because of ils ability to float on the surface, like a duck. Even a spoonful of the tiny plants, lifted from (lie pond s surface and placed in a home aquarium, will fur nish food and shelter for any number of pet fish. Likes Warmth Under the influence of warmth and what little sun light the aquarium owner al lows to strike the fish globe, the colony of duckweed will respond gloriously; in fact, it will multiply faslcr than the fish can eat it. The surplus must be skimmed off from time to time to keep the anxious plant from becoming a solid mass of green vegeta tion. The na-.,e "duckweed" for the little, floating, acquatic plant is really mure obvious as to meaning than are sonic of the other common names imaginative folks have used in naming sumc other num bers of the vegetable king dom. There are many in stances where this "name c.ill ing" has become pretty wild in descriplivcness. Anyone could see why a vine whose stem is generous ly armed wilh sharp prickles should be culled t lie "wait-a-bil-plant." Anybody trying to force his way through a bramble thicket where I lie grenbrier is growing can ap preciate why "wait - a - bit" would tell Hie story of this common vim; ii is a mtiM meaningful mmr f"r it- Not so easy to undri-Ntiinri, however, is one of the com moti names for a species of amaranthus that hears hrizht crimson blossoms in drooping tassels and is culled, ol all 1 luituluuK ihinus, "iove lies blccdins." Kqually prrp!r'mq Is why the foam finwir should be called "nancy - over-the-ground," or why "robin-in-in-liie hedge" should be Hie name for a variety of ground Jvy.

Mr. E. J. All I know Is she nursed me through a se rious illness. Ben J. My father is a widower and I know he's lone- some. But why should he let himself be made a fool of by clever, conniving widow? They say there's no fool like an old fool, but Dad's being middle-aged fool. We assumed he was getting set to marry my aunt, my mother's widowed sister. Now we learn he's backing out of the understanding he had with this fine woman, and planning to settle down with his neigh bor who has already moved most of her stuff into his apartment. By making goo-goo eyes at him and plying him with fresh chicken soup every day, she insinuated herself in to his life so deeply he still doesn't know what happened. But she dues. She found a sof tie. Mr. E. J. My wife died two years ago. I suppose in the natural course of things I would have married her sis ter who's a pleasant enough person and has been alone for 20 years. But last October I contracted virus pneumonia, If I had waited for my sister-in-law, who lives in Philadel phia, or my son and daughter- in-law who both go to busi ness, I'd he dead by now. In stead I called in my neighbor who gave me better care than the best hospital could offer.

She fed me, saw to it that I took my medicine, took me to the doctor when I was on myfhost to wjeUk Lee o Seolllt feet I hadn't noticed-it but she'd been bringing me things from her own apartment plants, books, a record player. Now I feel all that's missing in my home is her. The Council: Instead of merely routing Mr. J.'s "bug," his neighbor seems to have been busy setting up her own stakes on the premises. Ko his son she resembles the fox of whom Gloucester says (in Shakespeare's "Henry VI") that once the nose is in, "he'll soon find means to make the body follow." But Mr. J. ap pears to welcome the nose and al! that goes wilh it, even though at first he didn't re gard the "additions" to his apartment as permanent. The question here is whclh r Mr. J. is the victim of grad ual encroachment, under the guise of solicitude, or whether his neighbor's quiet "lake- over proceeded with his knowledge and consent. If she look advantage of his weak ened condition to transfer her household effects so as to leave him no choice but to in vile her to transfer herself, too ,as his wife well then, ho needs rescuing. He requires a breather, now that he's well, in which to figure out "Wha' hoppen?" Then he can make a clear decision on whom lo invite lo share his earthly goods. But if this Florence Night ingale came to resemble, in his eyes, an angel of mercy, an efficiency expert, a master of ceremonies, and oh-what-a-pal all rolled into one, Ren's lonely aunt is out of ic picture. When the neigh bor-lady began lo move lock and stock, Mr. J. probably urged her lo move barrel in, too! He liked what he found, and wanted more. So, Mr. J., Ben's complaint does you the good turn of giving you an "out"' if ou want one. Did this woman force herself upon you unfair ly, and would you now like to get rid of her? Think it through. Don't be in a hurry to "finalize" a deal which has been concocted rather sudden ly. Let Ihi be a lesson, though, lo the Philadelphia widow. Propinquity counts. A neigh bor next door is wuith two sisters-in-law in the next coun ty.

When the woman found the sweater was missing from her car, she called city police to report the theft. After the matter was cleared up, and the mistake explained, a city police officer typed up a re port on the case. But the officer mistakenly said the delivery man was from Dumas Domestic Laun dry, and the story was re ported thai way Friday in the Mail Tribune. Saturday, Mrs. Richard M.

John R. Del lcnback, (R-Medford), receiv ed support from an unexpect ed source last week. When the local attorney opened his mail in Salem Thursday he found a catnip mouse, compliments of two Medford mice named Tom and Jerry. Their letter, apparently found in an electric typewrit er in the Medford Chamber of Commerce office, accompa nied the catnip mouse. The letter expressed Intense inter est in the bill's progress and appreciation to its author, Dcl lenback. The letter and package were forwarded by Don Mc Neil, chamber manager. Del lenback said response to his bill, which would allow coun ties to control stray, game killing cats, ranges from hu mor to anger. One Portland woman said "the cat bill was as asinine a measure as can be found.'' One of Four Sponsors Dcllenback is one of four sponsors of HB 1149 recently introduced which makes it legally possible for counties with stray cat problems to establish a commission to con trol cats in a manner sim iliar to the county dog con trol commissions. The bill, if passed, would merely allow counties to establish such a commission. It would not be required. Dcllenback said more than 1,000 Jackson county resi dents have petitioned the leg islature to do something about the "hundreds of stray cats being dumped along county roads by thoughtless people." The letter from the mice stated: "Last night in the chamber office we discovered a copy of your bill to provide cat control in the state of Ore gon. "We were so excited we ran back and forth over all five peges devouring its well written contents. "It took us all night to type this logger, jumping up and Comments down on me typewriter ni-ya. Jerry slipped and sprainea a naw This accounts xor tuc mistakes which we hope yoa will overlook. Thank heaven for modern conveniences like IBM electric typewriters, otherwise we would be ex hausted. Enclosed is a token of our apresiation for your excellent work in introducing the bill, the trogress of whish we shall continue to follow with great eagerness." It was signed by Tom and Jerry, Co - presidents of A.P.F.D.J.C.M. (Association to Prevent Further Decimation of Jackson County Mice). The two mice requested permis sion to refer to the measure as the "Cat Nip Bill."
