Your throat protection — against irritation

consideration of acid-alkaline balance,with con*
sequent definite improvement in flavor; and
controlled uniformity in the finished product.
All these combine to produce a superior cig-
arette—a modern cigarette, a cigarette made of
rich, ripe-bodied tobaccos —A Light Smoke*
Over a period of years, certain basic advances
have been made in the selection and treatment
of cigarette tobaccosforLucky Strike Cigarettes.
They include preliminary analyses of the
tobacco selected; use of center leaves; the
higher heat treatment of tobacco (“Toasting”);

A friend of this reporter once kept
on his desk an image of three little
monkeys who with their hands were
holding shut their eyes, their ears,
and their mouths. On the base of the
statuette were inscribed these words
■ of a great pagan philosopher, “See no
evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.”
Strange, isn’t it, that a pagan should
utter such Christian sentiments in his
teachings?
It is strange, too, how so many of
us go through life totally unaware of
the handiwork of the Eternal Creator.
We close our eyes and our ears to
the lovliness of the flowers and the
beauty of the songs of the birds. No
matter where or when you walk about
the campus of St. Edward’s you can
find new creations in flowers, new
compositions in song, new panoramas,
of color—if you have not closed your
eyes, your ears, and your heart.
Follow the advice of the philosopher
as far as evil is concerned; but he
alive to the glories of God reflected in
His daily creations in Nature.
The Anemone
HAVE YOU SEEN THE ANEM-
ONE? Literally thousands of them
dot the campus. This delicate and
beautiful flower stands about eight
inches above the ground. Its corolla
of many petals often spreads out for
over an inch when the sun is shining.
But at night and on cloudy days it
closes them to form a long elliptical
bud which is pinkish-blue in color.
The Color of the anemone varies from
pure white to pastel shades of pink
and blue. The anemone is a timid
flower and is more abundant under
oaks and elms. Many legends sur-
round this early spring blossom. One
tells us that the flower grew when
the tears which Venus shed for the
death of her lover Adonis fell upon
the earth. Another maintains that
the Greek god of the wind, Anemos,

“The society has done much this
year,” he said, “to uphold the stand-
ard set by the philosophers of other
years.”
Closing the meeting President
O’Keefe offered the thanks of the
group to Father Riter and the Uni-
versity for the splendid dinner. He
announced that another meeting
would be held the first week in April.

cannot be reckoned in money when
they are the means of saving souls.
Began Century Ago
The basic idea in gathering can-
celed stamps is the satisfying of the
natural human instinct for collecting.
The collecting of stamps began with
the birth of the modern adhesive
stamp in England (1840-1841) and
has steadily increased until today
there are between four and five mil-
lion stamp collectors in the United
States alone and that figure is in-
creasing at the rate of fifty thousand
yearly.
Now dealers all over the world rea-
lize a profit from the importation and
the exportation of large amounts of
cancelled stamps and are willing to
buy all of the stamps that mission
bureaus are able to send them. The
Dujarie Bengal Mission Society could
market several thousands of pounds
a month. All that is needed is the
stamps.
Now is the time to start saving
stamps. One can serve God, gain a
knowledge of governments, history,
and geography, and also get the fun
of collecting the stamps. Good ma-
terial may be found, perhaps, in at-
tics, bureaus, trunks, cupboards, files,
and in making inquires among rela-
tives and friends.

and the joy they bring with their song.
HAVE YOU HEARD THE CAR-
DINALS? Open your window about
6:30 some morning. Or better still
get up and go out of doors and stand
near a tree. You will be rewarded
with a burst of song that will make
Nelson Eddy and Lawrence Tibbet
sound like hog-callers. But not only
music will greet your ears. You will
see a bird dressed in brilliant scarlet,
with a dark top-notch for a cap and
black velvet vest. As you listen to
his song notice how he says, “What
year ? What year ? HUR-ry, HUR-ry,
HUR-ry, HUR-ry.” Here is a secret
I do not like to tell you for fear I
shall offend this friend of mine. But
he is a first cousin to that nuisance
the English sparrow. And here is a
warning. The cedar-waxwing will
soon be back in great numbers. He
is often found with the cardinal. He,
too, has a top-notch, but his song is a
simple one, and he is not red. Don’t
confuse the two.
HAVE YOU SEEN THE SUN
RISE? Would it be a penance for
you to get up at 5:30 or even six
o’clock? Maybe it would, but you
could not count it as such if you watch
the sunrise. Such color, such glory,
as will be your reward for early
rising. No penance, that. Then, too,
you could hear an entire Mass. No
penance for that either. So don’t
miss the sunrise. It will be over be-
fore Mass. You can go from the
glory of God’s sunrise to the Glory
of God Himself. That is not a pen-
ance. That is heaven on earth.
---------o--
the amount of foreign, special, and
fairly rare stamps they comprise.
Yet, it must be clearly and specific-
used the flower to announce his pres- ally noted that the value of stamps
ence. For that reason it is known in (
some states as the Windflower. In 1
others it is called a wood violet, but its
right name is Anemone. Watch for it.
■ It will not be here long. (
Cloth of Gold ]
HAVE YOU SEEN THE CLOTH- 1
OF-GOLD1 I don’t mean a real piece
of cloth, or a real piece of gold. I ■
refer to a little yellow flower with a ]
tubuar blossom of four petals that is
scarcely more than an eighth of an
inch across. By the time you read
this there will be many of them about.
They appear in racemes along a stem
about six inches long. And sometimes
they are so numerous that the ground
seems to be covered with a gold
u cloth; thus the name.
There are three species on the
campus. The larger ones, which grow
to a height of two feet, will appear
later. But don’t let the little fellow
escape you. His scientific name is
Lesquerella Recurvata—a big name
for so tiny a flower. Maybe you
know this flower as the Texas pop-
weed. When it goes to seed it bears
tiny pea-like pods which pop when
you step upon them. So some people
call it pop-weed but cloth-of gold is
better, I think.
The Robins
HAVE YOU SEEN THE ROBINS?
Some of you have, for when they were
migrating through here recently some
college students got more pleasure
taking their lives with a .22 rifle than
they did listening to their lovely
contralto songs. I counted fifty dead
specimens.
The robins wll soon be gone. But
why not ? Who wants to remain where
they will be killed? Anyhow, the
robin makes his home in the North.
Many are already in Iowa and Illinois,
and within ten days they will be as
far North as Canada, where they are
welcomed and protected and loved
for the great good they do the farmer
