Kentucky Women Suffers Death by
Clash of an Iron Hand

Clasp of an Iron Hand.
The murder of Mrs. Martha Martin
in Lexington, KY, was strikingly similar
to those conferred to by Alfred Knapp,
the Bluebeard of Ohio, at Columbus.
The grasp of the hand that choked the
life out of Mrs. Martin was so strong
that some of the bones of her neck were
dislocated. The finger prints were so
deeply indented that after the body had
lain for forty-eight hours in the water
where it was thrown by her slayer they
could be seen at distance of ten feet.

The Folly of Heavy Dinners

Boston Globe-Fashion and the
family physician are united in a good
cause. Both are frowning today upon
the long dinner, with all sorts and
kinds Of food, a large share of the
edibles, when mixed, being as indigest-
IDLE as certain securities in the stock
market. Ella Morris Kretschner has
lately said in a magazine article: "A
leader of fashion in the stone age. in
deyouring a fourth of an animal the
size OF sheep and valiantly cracking
the bones, doubtless felt that he was
doing the approved thingin a properly
elegant manner. And, officially
speaking, he was not as far out of the
way as his modern brother. who. with
less heroic digestion. has, for the past
quarter century and longer. invited
those whom he would honor (mind. not
his enemies) to dine upon 16 courses
and a dozen wines"
There is health and satisfaction in
a steak and its simple nxfngs. or a

dash OF something on the side: but the
menu which runs from cocktails al

DRUNKENNESS IN INSURANCE

weekly Underwater What is
drunkenness within the meaning Of the
life insurance contract? United
States Judge H. H. Wheeler of the Yer
mont district has rendered a definition
which will not satisfy the insurance
companies. The insured in his apDli-
cation stated that he was not in the
habit Of drinking liquor to excess and
becoming intoxicated. When he died.
payment of the policy was refused On
the ground that in this particular the
applicant made a material misstate
ment OF fact, and a mass of evidence
was introduced on trial to prove that
he went on sprees and became hilar-
iOus and noisy, and was unable 10
walk steadily or sit up straight. al
though he could drive. Witnesses
testified that while under the in
huence of intoxicants he acted at times
''as If crazy" and a physician admit
ted that he had once examined him for
alcoholism with the view of his com
mitment to a retreat. Nevertheless
Judge Wheeler. in confirming the Jury
verdict. hel0 that the man had never
been intoxicated within the meaning of
his warranty. And he so decided on
the ground that so long as an intoxi-
Gated man retained possession of his
senses in any degree he was not legal
~ drunk from the insurance point of
view. When legally drunk. "a man
not only loses the possession OF his
reason. but his senses are so enfeebled
that he Is no longer conscious of his
external relations" In other words.
he must be dead drunk" We ali
know gentlemen who are habitually
under the influence of liquor who never
touch that lower depth. And yet they
are unsound lives, and unfit for life in
surance. If Judge Wheeler's ruling
is good law, they may with safety sign
any application that the companies
have so far devised.

be able 10 make this substantial ad
ditiOn to the practical work of the as
sOciatiOn, the act rsust not be lost
sight of that this is a public work
which the state should do. It should
not be left for a small body of citizens
to do work which is for the general
good, and which is generally recog-
niZed as coming within the legitimate
sphere of government action. The
work to be done under these auspices
will be an object lesson to teach the
dOubters the utility of a state forester.
If the proposed reorganization Of the
state board of agriculture into an eff
fective executive department should
be carried out next winter there should
certainly be provided, as an integral
part OF the new department, a bureau
or division of forestry, with a scientific
forester at the head OF it.
The institution of a course in
forestry at Harvard university is an
encouraging sign of the times. II is
made more so by the apDOintment TO
the new chair of R. P. Fisher, who is
regarded by the heads of the bureau
OF forestry as the ablest man now on
their staff. Mr.. Fisher has become
thoroughly acquainted with New Eng
land forest conditions. as he has been
for some time detailed for special
work in this field. Those who attend
ed the associations Worcester meet
ing will remember his interesting and
helpful address on that occasion. when
he spoke especially of the forestry
problems Of the New England farmer.
