New York's Smallest
 Park Is Measured in
 Inches and Not Acres
Tiniest Green Patch Is Vel come Sight in Midst of
 Busy City

NEW YORK Aug. 3:-No Name park is the smallest park in this city, and it would be an affront to the word acre to use that in describing this tiny reservation.
 In officially describing the boun- diaries of the park the authorities skip acres and come down to feet and inches. And even at that the figures are scanty. The area is tri. angular and the figures are eight feet five inches; seven feet nine inches and three feet four inches.
 Scrutinizing the plot, you would see a fine young tree, a stone water ing trough for horses, sixteen blades of bright green grass, and a fresh layer of mold that will make a bed for more grass next spring.
 Of the sixty parks in Manhattan this is one of the newest, and while it's area is inconsiderable, it is going to be improved as much as possible. so as to make it restful to the eye in a neighborhood of big apartment houses.

Man Gives Blood to
 Save the Life Of His Wife and Unborn Child
Caesarian Operation Pre- ceded by 30-Minute Trans

HARTFORD, Conn, Aug 3:-By resoTting to heroic methods-in fact by performing an unprecedented com bination of operations-two lives were saved at St Francis hospital and the surgeons confidently predict that Mrs. Josephine Lipton of Bloomfield and her twelye.pound son will live.
 The main operation performed by Drs. R. J. DzyeT, J. P Boucher, J. J. Boucher and some og the hospital stan consisted of the Caesarian sec tion. Before that, however, the haz- ardous resouree of blood transmission was necessary and again after the birth of the child, second interfus- ion of life blood was deemed essen tial.
 Mrs Upton was so weak when she was brought to the hospital that it was believed-that her life and that of her unborn progeny would be sacri- feed.
 A cot was rolled alongside the bed on which Mrs. .Lipton lay, weak and gasping. Liptons right arm was laneed and for thirty minutes his heart pumped the life saving fluid from husband to wife. Then Mrs. Lipton was hurried to an operating table where the surgeons performed the Csesarian section. Soon the Lip ton family was reported as doing we'll.

Strife Fades Youths Bloom: Love's First
 Dream Remains
Man Waits 50 Years for Girl Who Never Came
 to Him

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Surrounded by tin cans containing gold, silver and Paper money. and with more money placed in every crevice in his little cabin, Adolph Hufenhauser of High land, Ind, miser, reeluse and victim of love tragedy, lay upon a bench to starve himself to death.
 Before preparing for death Hufen- hauser wrote the tragic story of bis life upon a piece of torn cardboard.
 Strife and Worry may fade the bloom Of youth but Loves first dream remains in the heart forever" it read
 Lives Alone Fifty Years
 That was all, yet back of the words lay the secret of his entire life. Huff enhauser had lived alone in a little shack al Highland, near Hammond. for fifty years. He went to Hammond before the civil war purchased a for ty-acre farm and set to work to eke out a living. and to prepare a little home-nest to which he might bring the girl he had left in Wesdors, Gel many.
 The girl never came. Shortly be- fore the opening of the civil war Huff enhauser became a recluse. stunning all companions and never leaving his little cabin unless to work on the farm or to go for food He worked hard. and spent little, storing up his hoard just as if the girl of his dreams were actually coming.
 Neighbors Find Him Dying
 Neighbors who had become fami- liar with his age-bent figure and sor- row-seamed face missed him. They ! remembered that they had not seen him for some time and started 10 iG- vestigate.
 Peering through the dust covered windows of the cabin he called h1r.e, they saw the form of the recluse ly- ing on a bench which had served as chair, table and bed for him for many years They called to him, but the only answer they received was slight movement of the eyes.
 Police were summoned from Ham, mond and they broke in the door
 Go away and leave me" mutteTed Hufenhauser in German. T want 10 die"
 He was removed to St Margaret's hospital at Hammond, but it Is fear ed that age and self-imposed starva- ton will cause his death.
 Money Is Found
 It was swhen friends invaded his shack later that they found he had lit erally starved himself in the midst of plenty. In an old tobacco box at the foot Of his couch was found $50. Tin cans stood about the couch, contsin ing money, arranged as if he had placed them where they might mock him and repeat the story of his strug- gles for his German sweetheart who never came. When found he clasped an old army musket He had evidently prepared to drive away inquisitiye strangers, but he was too weak from starvation to raise it when the police entered.

Church. To Screen
 Ankles Of Singers
Horrible Foxy Old Deacon ... Had the Eagle
 Eye

DIES MONIES, la, Aug. 3:-YOung women singers, those with tight hob ble skirts, drop-stitch silk hose, and low shoes, and who sit in the choir loft of the Forest Avenue Baptist church, are to be screened from the vulgar stare of the male portion of the congregation.
 Because of the shortness and tightness of the hobble skirts worn by the young women today and the display of hosiery which is evident in the choir loft, l move that a twenty inch curtain be hung from a brass rod around the choir loft" said Mrs. George F. Reinking, president, at the latest meeting of the church Ladies Aid society.
 The motion was carried unani- mously.
 A deacon, venerated for his years and his piety, was directly responsi- ble for the action taken by the church women. Realizing that those seated at favorable angles in the church auditorium were given a spec tacle more like that of a pony chorus in comic opera than a prim young women's church choir, the deacon took a committee of women to vari- ous vantage spots and significantly pointed out the space between the base rail of the choir loft and the seats of the choir. The women were convinced of the necessity of imme- diate action.

VENICE, Aug 3:-Robert c. Walh- man, a summer visitor from San Der nardino, not only got plentifully sun burned. but set fire to himself He bought a lotion containing alcohol to take the smart out. and rubbed this plentifully over his body. He went in swimming, but before taking his dip sat down on the sand and applied more of the lotion. The job done, he struck a match to light cigar; the match dropped on his leg, the alcohol flareG up and in a second he was a pyramid of flames.
 A quick dash to the surf and a plunge into the breakers extinguished the fire. but not before he had sus- tained painful burns all over his body.

The Daughters Of the Revolution is the
name of society organized little later
than the Society Of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, having a slight
diffeenrce in the requirements for eligi-
bility to membership and smaller line
Of activities. 1t Is generally believed that
the two organizations will eventually
unite their forces
The Colonial Danes Of America is an
organization to which future historians
will owe much because of its valuable
published works. The organization is
composed of members who can trace their
descent from an ancestor who settled In
America before 1850. It's work is more
social than active, although through its
different branches 1t has done much to-
ward the preservation Of historic docu-
ments. There are branch organizations
in the different states whose total men,
bership approximate 1900.

A great many organizations In the
United States are based upon genealog-
ical descent, and each year adds to the
number Some Of them are purely social
and others have, in addition to their
genealogical requirements. Some distinct
lines of patriotic work usually pertaining
to the preservation of historic docu-
ments. the marking of historic spots or
some similar object. While many peo-
pie ridicule them as undemocratic in
clusiveness, it must be admitted that
their work Is worthy and inspiring.
To an extent at least they tend to
promote respect and reverence for the
worthy deeds Of those who helped to
found the country, even though in
many instances their records may seem
exaggerated to the uninitiated. There are
more women's organizations than mems
probably because women have more time
to devote to such matters than men.
The General Society Of Mayfower de-
scendants is an organization confined ex-
clusively to the descendants. both male
and female. Of the passengers who came

though indirectly 1t is influential In the

documents and the observance of his

at Plymouth, Mass. There are state or
CARNATIONS in Connecticut. California,
Illinois. Maine, Massachusetts,, Michigan,
Ohio. Pennsylvania and the District of
Columbia, each of which has its own
separate activities under Its own gov
erning board. Similar in scope to the
Mayfiower descendants is the Order OF

was organized In 1895 and now has
