The Iroquois Indians used the root of the cat-taplant to make flour. The root is starchy and the Indians dried it and made a flour that is similar to flour made from corn or rice. Cat-ta- il flour was one of the substitutes the Germans learned to use during the World war. The American Indians also used. the root to make syrup. It is the tender shoots of the plant that Cossacks enjoy and it is this part of the plant that is sometimes served in England under the name Cossack asparagus. The fibrous leaves of the cattail plant have often been used to make mats and chair seats. The flower is converted into a substitute for cotton or silk and is made into a filling for upholstery. In this form the flower was used as a dressing for wounds in the World war. The ancient people of India dried the cat-tai-ls and used them as torches. In some places where palm leaves are not easily obtained the cat-taleaves are used on Palm Sunday instead of palms. The leaves of the cat-ta- il are grasslike, growing in double rows on the reed stalk and the flower of the plant is the tail which grows at the top of the stalk. The tail is not a single flour but is made up of thousands of little flowers. The familiar fuzzy surface is due to fine down which grows on each flower. you Slide Fasteners (or Slip Coven )U have slip coven made other Spring sewing you will want in interior decorator and a copy of Mrs. Spears book SEWin for such niceties as ING for the Home Decorator. pages of illustrated diistenen or welted or piped Forty-eigthe bill goes up and up.

It was regrettable the two Franciscans, Fray Mariano Rubl and Fray Bartolome Gill, were unsuitable, but it was hard to get decent men to leave Mexico, and go to the distant province at California. There was a friendly personal letter from the Father Guardian, but that gave Junlpero Serra no comfort. Serra was warned against using his temporal influence, as there were rumors abroad that the missions in California were to be turned over to the Order of Donlmlcans, and the Franciscans returned to Mexico. "No, no. faltered the Fanciscan. No, Pio, you do not read that truly! California to be delivered to the Dominicans?

The Missionary put one hand on the Indian's bowed head, and with the other still upraised, stood, with rapt face, his lips murmuring prayers.

He dashed out of the cell, through foe mission grounds, and in the' direction at the village of the gentile Indians. Junlpero Serra did not feel the hard flow beneath his knees, nor the hard boards in which his head rested. He was pondering deeply, sadly, praying to keep the bitterness from bis thoughts. He began dreaming of the past, of his earlier days in California. Episodes which he had forgotten long since came into his mind.
