TWO STEAL AND EAT 18O BUNS
Lads in Juvenile Court Amaze Judge
With Their Capacity for
EatabIes

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, June 6.-"Sure, judge, we
ct the buns. We wasn't a bit hungry
when we got through"
When Adolph Munich, ia Farragut
street, with this statement corroborated
the charge of a probation officer that
he and Theodore Kirsch, 113 Berwyn
avenue, had stolen and eaten fifteen
dozen buns in one day, Judge McEwen
lifted his hands in amazement. The
boys were accused of getting the buns
from the various bakery shops in the
neighborhood.
1t was almost with admiration that
the Judge decided to give the boys
another chance to be good.

PRETTY GIRL IS
UNDER ARREST
FIFTEEN YEAR OLD LASSlE
WANTS TO WED
judge Wilbur Of Juvenile Court Issues
Bench Warrant for Winsome
but WllfuI Nellie
Mundell

Nellie N-unde1l the pretty little Pasa-
dena girl who has been causing Judge
Wilbur of the juvenile court no end
OF trouble, will be taken to court this
morning to answer a bench warrant
Issued yesterday accusing her Of hav-
ing violated her parole.
The girl is not yet sixteen years OF
are, but insists on marrying a man
named Bud Lewis, who Is more than
twice her age. For some time past,
whether through stubborness or IN
fatuation, the independent young wo-
man has insisted on marrying Lewis,
Every effort possible to stop the we'd
ding has been made and now Nellie
Mundell will probably be compelled TO
return to. the detention home from
which she was lately released.
The Mundell girl was taken in
charge by the probation officers some
months ago because she insisted on
marrying Lewis. She was tried before
Judge Wilbur and sent to the deten-
tion home until further examination
into the case could be made.
Then the trouble began in earnest
and all during the long holidays Nellie
was COMPELLED to view the world
through the dismal bars of the deten-
tion home.
Issues Warrant for Girls Arrest
Her attorney, Gen. Ladd, made fran
tic efforts to secure her release and as
a last resort began habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. The writ was denied and
Miss Mundell was sent back to the de-
tention home only to be released few
days later by order of Judge Wilbur
upon the promise of the young wo-
mans parents that they would see that
she did not marry Lewis until the
court had made a final disposition OF
the case.
The girl knew that she could not get
license in Los Angeles and that
Santa Ana. San Diego and Ventura
clerks were all aware of the fact that
she was under age. With her lover
she managed to elude her watchful
parents and. Tuesday she eloped with
Bud Lewis to San Bernardino. There
license was issued and the pair started
in search of some one to marry them.
But they made a fatal mistake ana
went to Judge Bledsoe, judge of one
of the departments of the San Ber-
nardino superior courts. Judge Bled-
soc is frequently called upon to try
cases in the local courts and is as we'll
informed of the local proceedings as
the superior judges of this section, so
when the couple applied to the judge
to marry them he was promptly re-
fused and notified the license clerks.
Judge Wilbur was then notified and
promptly issued a bench warrant for
the arrest of the girl.
1t is not known whether the girl
really loves Lewis or whether she
simply insists on marrying him through
stubbornness.

Of Forestry Here

"Ornamentation with the distinctive
! idea Of improving and beautifying the
cities" was the subject of DIR. w. A.
Lamb last evening at the Horticultural
society meeting in the assembly hall of
the chamber of commerce.
President Raymond introduced DR..
Lamb as the principal speaker. He
said in part:
I "I am indebted to our chairman for
the enjoyment Of living i'm Southern
California. Having lived I'm New Eng
land l had a desire to make a change
! for a better climate and | was induced
to come to California by reading a
pamphlet issued by Mr. Raymond.
came here for three months and re-
turned home and gave lectures on the
beauties and advantages of Southern
| California. At last ! came here with
my family, and shall live and die here.
1T is my purpose to do all l can by
way of introducing distinctive features
! of ornamentation of our homes, streets
and parks Such distinctive features
are prevailing in many of the larger
| eastern cities.
THE question with us is, have we
shed the shell of a village and bios
somed out unto a beautiful city? The
answer is that we have, and now we
must improve our opportunities and
show the spirit of improving our BONES
streets and parks. We should do as
well as the people of Boston, who are
bidding for tourists by praising up
their city. Let us keep up the work
of improving and ornamenting all
along the lines.
Seventeen Kinds of Soil
1--WE have seventeen different kinds
of soil and all kinds of scenery and
we should put our gray matter at work
and make our environments distinctive
for usefulness and ornamentation.
II am quite an enthusiast in the es-
tablishment of forestry. L think that
the soil should be studied for the best
growth of trees. Our government is
spending a half million of dollars
each year in choice trees and we have
1t behind us for trees, for usefulness
and ornamentation.
II would like to see more of the
roof gardens on the houses. The
Japanese are far ahead of us in this
respect.
1--WE should have jealous eyes to
convert everything as far as possible
into beauty spot. Let us get con-
troll of all these spots we can and ask
the city to care for them.
Favors Mexican Style
I'VE should retain all we can of the
Mexican architecture. We are too apt
to come here and build according to our
homes back east We should study
what is suitable for the environments
1--WE have a great deal to do and
let us keep on talking and agitating
this work for the good of the schools
and the young people. When we con-
slider this we must go into the country
and in making it a state issue we
should ask our legislators to create
state park commission to be made out
side of politics and salary, excepting
recompense for the leaders. There are
many tracts Of land that could be Sc
cured if proper custodians were to care
for them. We ought to bear in mind
these things for our beautiful homes
and country"
DIR. Lamb was followed by remarks
by President Raymond, p. D. Barnhart
and others.

cobs are the cheaper material from
which to make the charcoal, and they
serve the purpose fully as well. This
cob charcoal may be easily made by
burning dry, well matured corncobs in
a smothered fire. One of the simplest
and most easily provided equipments
for burning charcoal Is TO make a hole
In the ground of such q size as may be
required for the amount Of stock to be
fed. Have the pit funnel shaped, as
shown in the drawing.
Start a fire In the bottom, and TO
this add cobs until the pit is full, being

permit a drawing of the fire from the
bottom TO the top Of the pit. When
filled, Immediately cover over with
heavy sheet iron or other noncombusti-
BILE covering, sealing the edges with

the possibility Of draft. which would
allow the cobs to burn to ashes instead
of charming. Leave overnight and SHOW
ell out the next morning, spreading

This will be found an excellent grade
of charcoal that will readily pulverize
and mix with such feeds as il may be
desired to use In connection with IL,
such as bran, middlings, cornmeal, etc.
A tablespoonful may be given each

was Introduced into New York, SAN
uel Lcggett, the president or tAe coal-
pany that proposed to bring the much
feared illuIAindnt into use here, had 70
prove its harniessness in his WI
house. This was in 1923.
His heroisn attracted a good deal of
attention and proved to be a good adj
vertisemcnt, for hundreds If not thou
sands of PERSONS visited the house to
see the illuminant which was said to be
so much better than candles and fish
oil lamps. The house was in the up
town fashionable quarter of the city,
on Cherry hill. 1t was at Z Cherry
street, only a few doors below the big.
square Franklin House, in which Pres
ident Washington lived when New
York was the capital, and near the cell
ebrated Cherry gardens. 1t was Il mar
row, three story and attic brick struc-
ture with two dormer windows. An
abutment Of the Brooklyn bridge now
occupies the site.
Stories of the explosive character of
gas had spread without the aid of n
press agent, and persons hesitated
about having the pipes run through
their houses. They were willing to
have some one else make the expert
ment, however, and curious enough to
visit the house Of the yenturesome one
to see what happened. For the time
being all roads in the evening seemed
to lead to Mr.. Leggett's house. Groups
gathered outside in the darkened street
to witness the process Of lighting up"
Many a couple from the other fashion
able quarter, State street and the foot
of Broadway, gave up the evening w TX
along the Battery to wend their wy
UP Eearl street in the moonlight to {
Cherry street to see the novelty. Thee
were eager visitors from surrounding
towns. Mr.. Leggett was not ayerse to
showing people how much better gas
was than any other form OF illuminant
by taking them through the house.
This fact, becoming known through
out the city, added to the number of
visitors, and not mfrequently when
Mr.. Leggett, basking in the light of no
toriety in his drawing room, saw faces
peering in at him from the outer dark
ness he would go to the door and in
vite those without to come in. 1t was
several years before the prejudice
against gas could be altogether wiped
out.-New York Tribune.

over 5000 eggs will have been con

The apple plant louise has normally
about eight generations in one season,
the greater proportion of the individ

prove that the chickadce is the bird
that eats the egg, that matches the
