gestion of President Roosevelt aided
by that "tired feeling" OF both the
victor and the defeated, brought about

Robert Gardiner, who was placed on
trial in Chicago, charged with the MUIR
der of Agnes Morrison, may escape the
death penalty because OF a peculiar freak
of nature. Gardiner is suffering from
ossification of the vertebrae and of the
neck. His attorney, William Buck
uer, startled the court by announcing
that the hardening process had pro.
ceeded 80 far that it would be impos-
sible to bring any stain upon Gardi-
ner's neck sufficiently severe to cause
any particular discomfort.

cold air of the region, which makes it
necessary to keep the lips semi-closed
