New York, Apr. 20.-If a decision
of the appellate division handed
down Friday is sustained by the
higher courts. it is estimated that
fully $4,000 basement apartments in
flats, tenements and the finest apart
ment houses, now used by janitors
for living rooms, will have TO be va
Gated.
The law says the ceilings of base
ment rooms used for living purposes
must be at least 8 feet from the
floor and 4 " feet from the level of
the street. Builders have construed
the 4 u feet to apply to the height
of the ceiling above the level of the
court or well in many buildings.
The appellate division says the Ian
guage is plain and it means the street
level. Thousands of janitors now
housed in these unsanitary places
will have to move. The owners will
have to find rooms for them in some
other part of the houses where they
now are.
The case was brought before the
appellate division by the tenement
house commissioner. There are 49,
900 violations on file before the
and great part OF them
are for basement rooms.

Two young men-one smooth

When the tour was finished they

who permitted each to kiss her once.
When the first young man had
performed this pleasant duty the
doctor pressed pad of gelatine to
the young lady's lips. The same was
done after the other had kissed her.
Then the pads were submitted to
conditions favorable to the develop

caught on them. After several days
they were examined by expert bac-
teriologists.
The one which registered the
smooth shaven mans kiss was found
to contain a few focks of totally

swarmed with tuberculosis bacilli,
typhoid germs and tetanus microbes

A HORRIBLE STORY
TOLD BY MAN
AT TRINIDAD
(snecial to The sentinel.l

Trinidad, Colo, Apr. 2O.--A bro
ther of Joe Maniscolo, who was
found buried in a lonely canon last
Thursday, voluntarily told the coron-
er a gruesome tale yesterday of how
his brother met a tragic death.
According to the dead mans bro
ther, secret society which was
formed in Sicily, where both men
came from, took an oath of blood
that anyone who violated any of the
obligations of the society would meet
a violent death, and as mark to
show that he was victim of the So
ciety. his right hand would be
chopped off and the flesh of the arm
scraped from the bone from the ell
bow down.
This would be done while the vic
tim was alive, after which a knife
would be driven through his heart.
The coroner was Mortified by the
tale and made a closer examination
of the body. He found that the hand
was missing and that the bone of the
arm had been scraped.
The story, however, is not be-
lived, as the brother gave the names
of four or five Sicilians who reside
at Berwind, charging them with be-
ing members of this secret society
and undoubtedly responsible for the
murder. The coroner doubts the bro
Tiers statements one the. ground
that if his story is true he would
not live "a hours.
Recent developments show that
this brother, some time after the dis
appearance of the murdered man
tried to prove up on his brother's
land.
No arrests have been made: but
it is likely there will be some within
a day or two.

While Minnesota soil yielded 1912

While Minnesota soil yielded 1912
during the first five years of the past
decade, during the last five the yer
age was 1918. In New York the fig
ures are 1874 and ia, while in Kan
sas there has been a drop from 15.14
bushels to 1918. Similar findings are
made in the other states.
Mr.. Hill makes his point clear by
citing the average yield in Denmark
60.19 bushels, which he says is due
to the scientific cultivation and en-
richment of the soil. Although the
land has been titled for centuries, it
has five times the yield of h prac-
tically virgin soil of America, simply
because the Danish farmer looks at
ter the soil instead of leaving it to
chance and the elements to see that
it does not run down.
The more intelligent m o Amer
lean farmers are learning, and the
less intelligent will learn, hat the
prodiga1 exhaustion of large holdings
of soil is not the most profitable
method Of agriculture; the intensive
cultivation of small farms, scientif-
cally cared for and periodically fer
tilted, is what American farmers
must come to if they wan to get the
most the soil has to give-and want
to keep the soil giving it.
