HELD TO ANSWER FOR
,MISTREATING GIRL
LITTLE CANADIAN BASHFULLY
TELLS STORY IN COURT
Child Taken Back to Cell in County
Jail, While Defendants Wife is
Dying on Cot in Hos
pital

With cheeks flushed and eyes down.
cast, pretty, 15-year-old Ruth Smith,
daughter of wealthy parents in On
tario, Canada, took the witness stand
in Police Judge Frederickson's court
yesterday at the preliminary examina-
ton of H. L. Lutes, 81 years old,
charged with abduction. At its conclu-
sion Lutes was bound over to answer
to the superior court in bonds of $4,000
and the girl was taken back to her cell
in the county Jail to await the arrival
of her mother from Canada. Her ia
Their is said to be dying of broken
heart
Lutes is a married man. His wife
is close to death in a local hospital.
According to Detectives Mcnamara and
Carroll, who arrested him, Lutes bears
a bad record with the police and has
assumed eight different aliases. They
say that he has not worked legitimate
ly for ten years and that at one time
he forced his wife into an immoral &C.
cupation to support him.
The girls story is a sad one. She
said yesterday that in company with
her sister, Stella, II years old, and her
uncle, John SERVER, Al years old, she
left their country home in ontario,
Canada, for the first time in her life
and came to Los Angeles to spend the
winter. Their uncle recently had fall
len heir to $4,000 from a relative. He
had asked permission of the parents
of the girls to take them west and
show them a good time. The father
and mother had known him as a sober,
industrious man all his life, and placed
their children in his care.
Arriving here, Scryver became infat-
uated with the night life of the city.
He opened his purse strings literally
and took his nieces with him on his
wild frolics and joy rides. They met
his new found friends, who were help
ing him spend his money, among them
Lutes and W. L. McDebbit, who is at
present in the county Jail awaiting
trial on a charge of wronging Ruth's
sister. Within four weeks SERVER had
squandered his entire heritage and fled
from the scenes of his revelry, leaving
the girls penniless and dependent upon
their new found friends.
According to the girls own story,
McDebbitt and Lutes found them rooms
and they lived together for two weeks
until their arrest, pawning their clothes
and jewelry at the mems instigation,
that the four might live.

DOMAIN club to celebrate the one hun
dred and fifty-first anniversary of the
birth of Robert Burns, Frank G. Fin
layson boldly claimed Shakespeare for
the Celts. The appropriation evoked
loud and long continued applause, re-
newed when Mr.. Finlayson pointed out
resemblance in the early circum-
stances and environments of the two
great Celtic bards. They were both,
he said, 'embodiments Of marvellous
inspiration" Mr.. Finlayson delivered
a scholarly and analytical address on
the character and works Of Burns.

One of the big hits of the evening
was President McDonald's address in
Gaelic. Another was the magnificent
playing of the club pipe-band of six
pipers and kettle drummer. A third
was Mrs. James Tait's singing of 1.-The
Star of Robbie Burns with its
chorus, which expressed the spirit of
the celebration:
Let kings and courtiers rise an IA:

Buying Trees

The Ohio experiment station be-
lieves that 1t is a good plan for the
farmer to learn something Of a mans
reputation through his neighborhood
before buying trees Of him. Then, II
possible, go early in the season aud
examine his trees. If an order is
given, specify that the trees must be
of his own growing and that there
must be no substituting. In order
ing from a distant farm, select those
who advertise in frst-class period
icals and specify, as before, no suosti-
tuting. Reputable nurserymen and
seedsmen try to keep their stock pure
and the varieties true to name, but
they often buy Of others and mistakes
may occur in handling. If nursery.
men and seedsmen are to be centured
more than other business men for lax
methods, says the director Of the Ohio
station, 1t is because they get stock
from doubtful sources, by exchange or
purchase, and because they so often
substitute a variety which is lust as
good"

Plenty of bedding for the ccw helps

they won't get sick.
Pullets should be grown, or nearly
so, and should be laying or showing
inclination. that way, now.

pays much better to sell sheep as NUT

1t is a great mistake to sell the

three years old. Keep her as long as
she remains vigorous.
Take every specked apple out Of
your bins to-day. The wife needs
them for pies and sauce, and besides
that-every apple with rotten spot

For market eggs the pullet is more

TREATTN . .FOAGAPES
Keep Young Chicks on Clean
Ground Not TrampIed on
Trouble Is Not Disease and ls Caused
by Small Red Worms Which
Gather In Windpipes and In
terfere with Breathing.
CRx 8. C. MILLER.l

Strictly speaking, gapes cannot be
called a disease, since chicks that
are SO afflicted are in physically per-
feet condition. The trouble Is caused
by a small red worm, or rather BY a
collection of such worms, which gath
er in the windpipes, and as they grow
interfere with the breathing and cause
the chicks to gasp and after awhile
strangle.
The worm is the larvae of eggs de-
posted in the filth of the yards or
coops, and is Matched after being Ia
ken into the chicks throat.
They are, when full grown, about
one inch long, and very much resem-
BILE pale streak Of blood.
Incubator chicks and those which
run on clean grassy plots, away from
the haunts of the older fowls, are nev-
er known to have gapes, while, on the
other hand, those which run in yards
which are bare Of grass, where fowls
have been kept year after year, will
almost invariably have gapes.
Just guard against the disease by
observing a few simple rules, is the
best advice. Keep all young chicks
on clean ground, away from the house,
where old fowls have not trampled
over 1t.
Sprinkle lime and carbolic acid
over the yard, house and walks, and
see that only fresh water and pure
food are given the chicks.
II only a few chicks are affected
they may be relieved by inserting a
feather stripped to within an inch of
the tip into the windpipe and turning
1t gently as it Is withdrawn. The
worms will adhere to the feathers and
thus give the relief sought.
Violent sneezing will dislodge the
worms and give relief, and this may
be produced by fumes Of tobacco
smoke or carbolic acid. If using to.
bacco, catch the chicks and put them
In an ordinary bushel feed basket
with any kind Of an old cloth thrown
over it. Set the basket over a barrel
with both heads out and place the to
bacco on some live Goals IN the bot
tom.
Watch the chicks carefully, so thai
they do not smother, but let them re
main until they become quite dizzy
The sneezing thus produced will give
relief.
When using feather hold thu
chick between the knees, with bacl
toward you. Then, with the left fore
finger and thumb open the mouth
holding the neck well UP.
The windpipe will be easy to reaci
with the feather, which you have pre-
viously arranged.
A small piece of camphor the siz,
of pea will often give relief, as will
also an up and down pressure on tn,
fore part of the neck.
When the first sign of gapes ap
pears the chicks should be removed
to coops as far distant as possibl,
from the house and kept there unit
they have passed the danger age.
If they are taken to a place lik,
that when first Matched there will
never be a case of gapes among them

KEEPING WASTE WATER OUT
Excellent Method Is Construction OF
Cement Boss Which Requires
But Little Mortar.

A good method to prevent waste
water from running back into the
well or cistern is shown in the accom-.
paRying sketch. A cement boss one
inch thick is put around the pump
hole and over the we'll cover, writes
Arch Owen in Popular Mechanics.
The boss should be little larger than
the diameter of the foot flange on the
pump. This boss can be applied to a
fagstone as well as to a cement stone.
