16TH CHILD BORN TO SAME COUPLE
 IN NEW HAVEN

New Haven, July 29-Registrar of Vital Statistics Robert E. Lee has for record the certificate of the birth of a son to MT. and Mrs. William P. Hoffman of Al Day street. The child is the sixteenth born to the couple, thirteen of whom are living. The father is 47 years and the mother 43 years old. The Sage of Oyster Bay would be "delighted'' to learn of the good fortune attending these New Ha- ven residents, but it is no breach of etiquette to the strenuous ex-president to state that he cannot possibly be as delighted as are MT. and Mrs. Hoff- man and their many New Haven friends because of the welcome ar- rival

WRECK OF THE ROMANlA Grew Returning Tell of Their
 Close Call From Death HI Starred Craft That Left Bridge port For Europe and Met
 Untimely End

With hands torn and bodies bruised from their flight up the cliffs of the Nova Scotia coast to escape the waves that had dashed their boat upon the rocks, the crew of the f1fty-foot motor boat Romania, which went down at Chigoque Point, seven miles east of Yarmouth, on Monday night, arrived in New York late last evening, head ed by William H. Small, the navigator of the ROmania.
 Small essayed to establish a trans Atlantic motor boat record in a craft owned by John Weller. boat builder of Carlstead, N J., and had made excellent progress when the little boat went down.
 'I have had many wild nights on the sea- said Capt Small last night at the Grand Central Station when he alighted from a train, 'fbut that ex- perience sunpasses anything I have pever known.
 Starting from Bridgeport at 6:3O o'clock Saturday night, and with pro- visions to last US for a month, we made rapid headway until Monday morning. That day I was unable to make my observations and we ran thirty miles off of our course At 10:55 O. clock on Monday night, a flash of lightning revealed the rocks of Chi boque directly at our bow and the next instant the Romania was crush ed as if it had been an eggshell All of us were hurled into the sea. The tide threw us upon the rocks.
 When we managed to collect our selves Robert Weller, the son of the owner of the boat, and Henry Struck meyer, one of my seamen, made their way to the wrecked craft and got some ropes. I used these in an effort to ascend the cliffs which lowered seventy-five feet above us before the tide came in.
 Twice nearly reached the top of the cliffs, but each time lost my hold on the crumbling rocks and fell back ward. Finally we managed to reach the top and the next day some fisher men came to our rescue.'
 In addition to Small, the crew of the little motor boat was made up of John Weller, the owner, and his son, Rob- ert; Mepro, the engineer, and Struck meyer, 8 seaman.

 Chicago, July 29.-Four thousand inherent peddleFs, vendors of veze- job'' in this city, today, obeyfng tfs letter of the ordinance of councils ruling which forbids crying thsfr wares. The spectacle of the Ieafn-s lunged purveyors traversing the gle vocal dent in the atmosphers amazed everyone.

AS the soil in each set of tanks
was exactly alike, and as all other
conditions except the cultivation
were identical it necessarily follows
that the reduced amount of water
required to produce a pound of dry
matter in the cultivated pot was due
to the cultivation and it's effects.
There is, then, a double reason for
cultivating 70 r crops. You not only
hold the moisture in the soil by pre-
venting evaporation from it's surface
but you make it possible for the
moisture retained to produce in some
instances more than twice as much
plant growth. This means that by
the practice of cultivation you can
make your irrigation water cover
twice as much ground.
There is a marked variation in the
amounts of water required for diff
!ferent varieties of plants For ex-
ample, all other conditions being
equal, the potato plant requires more
than two and one-half times the wa
ter to produce a pound of dry matter
that the corn plant requires.

experiment station give us these re-
suits:

Those who use oilcloth as a covering
for floors often find it hard to keep it
in good condition 1t should never be
scrubbed with hard brushes or washed
with strong soap or soda. Oilcloth
should be cleaned by being washed
with soft cloth and tepid water, and
should it be very dirty little ammo.
mia should be dissolved in the water.
When it is dry rub the oilcloth well
with beeswax that has been softened
with turpentine. Four ounces of bees
wax melted aud thoroughly mixed
with eight ounces of spirits of turpen-
tine gives a nice polish. Now and
then rub the oilcloth with boiled lin
