$4,000 for Auto Injuries.

Supreme Court Justice Benton of
Rochester, who has been sitting here
owing to the illness of Justice Fitz-
gerald, allowed Mrs. Mary Craven of 40
East Sixty-fourth street $40, 900 dam
ages yesterday for injuries suffered
when the automobile owned by Julius
Keyser, a silk manufacturer, struck her
at Park Avenue and Sixty-fourth street,
year ago. The case was tried with
out jury.
Mr.. Keyser's auto which had brought
him from his Office at 40 East Seven
teenth street to his home, 10 East
Eigthy-frst street, was returning down
Park avenue to the garage. The chauf-
feur asserted that Mrs. Craven ran into
the motor as she was crossing the ave-
nue. at Sixty-fourth street, and that he
could not avoid injuring her.

THE TORNADO.

What does the defeat and victory in
this election indicate so plain that none
can see except those who don't want to
see? The Wilson victory is nation wide.
What does it signify? IL makes clear
that the people were ripe for revolu-
ton. The storm has been coming for
more than two years. But the reac-
tionaries hid their heads in the sand.
The tied-to-a-stake newspapers shouted
day by day with all their wind power,
crying aloud that the predicted storm
would only be little blow. 1t was a
fraud upon the readers for the pap
sucking papers to conceal the real con-
ditions in the state and nation. 1t was
open to all honest editors to known
what was happening in every state in
the Union. Indeed, the Wilson canvass
indicated, that he alone would beat Taft,
as the result now shows.
The real revelation that occurred in
Vermont in the September election
ought to have shown every intelligent
man that the Republican party was in
grave danger. To all but reactionaries
and the obstinately blind the vote for
the progressive ticket must have known

HOTEL BOMOSEEN BURNED.

Burn,

Castleton. NOV. 6.-Fire this evening
destroyed the Hotel Bomoseen, several
barn and outbuildings, and two other
structures, endangering an entire street
and causingIa loss of some $50, 900. The
blaze.started in the hotel kitchen about
7:15, and was not distinguished until
three hours later. The hotel was with
out fire fighting appliances of adequate
size, and at one time itrwas thought
assistance from Rutland would have to
be called. The spread of the flames
was finally checked by tearing down a
wooden icehouse. The loss is well
covered by insurance.
The hotel was a three-story brick
structure of 40 rooms, owned by the W.
c. Mound estate, and leased and occu-
pied by Charles J. Clifford. The loss of
the Mound estate is estimated at from
SIS, 900 to 500, 900, and Mr.. Clifford S loss
upon the furnishings at $1,000. No
guests were in the house. The fire was
discovered by Mrs. Clifford
A two story brick building owned by
A. N. Ransom and used as a general
store was destroyed, with loss of
Sc, 900 on the building and $4,000 on the
stock. A large wooden building owned
by C. N. Webster and used for storage
was also burned, the loss being esti-
mated at 81, 500.

TRYING TO SAVE POTATO
CROP.
Thousands Of Bushels May Freeze
Who're They Lie.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Thousands of
bushels of potatoes are in danger of
destruction as a result of the car
shortage. An exchange of kilograms
between the interstate commerce COM
mission and the principal roads carry
ing the enormous potato crop of Mime
sofa and Wisconsin shows that the rail-
roads are doing everything in their
power to handle the bumper crop, but
that they have not enough cars.
Although many new oars have been
built for the lines affected within the
past pear the storehouses of Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota are bullying with
potatoes, and thousands of bushels are
freezing in the fields because there are
no cars to move them and no room for
them in the warehouses. The potato
crop this year is the greatest in the
history of the United States. 1t ag-
gregates 4l0, 900, 900 bushels for white
amounted to only 293, 900, 600 bushels,
and in 1910 it measured $40, 600, 0OO
! bushels. 1t is estimated that approx
mately Sc, 600, 900 bushels of this year S
crop are furnished by Michigan, Is, 600,
600 bushels by Minnesota, and 80, 600, O0C
bushels by Wisconsin.
r. F. Sevey, secretary of the Mime
sofa Potato Growers and Shippers as
sociation, yesterday telegraphed to the
commission, asking that the Great
Northern, the Northern Pacific, the
Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis anc
Omaha and the 500 railroads be re-
quired to furnish sufficient refrigerator

THE PROGRESSIVES' GREAT VIC
TORY.

Out of the epochal election of 1912
the Progressive party comes with a
great victory, such a one as is regis
tered only in a generation. The Pro-
gressives have not elected their Presi-
dent. That is of second Importance as
the outcome is viewed in full perspec-
tive. They have established their party
on a permanent basis. They have ac-
complished the miracle. A new, great
national organization has risen fully
armed and equipped. 1t has proved its
vitality, its breadth and its weight. 1t
has proved that it is not only for the
people, but of the people. In three
short months it has raised a great
monument to the principle for which it
stands. That it did not now add the
capstone is temporary matter. 1t has
put a new nationwide party into ex-
istence and proved itself one of the two
great protagonists in party government.
1t is not only moral victory. 1t S tre-
mendous showing in popular vote. The
result as it stands is inspiring. 1t is
unequaled in the history of the country.

FRACTURED BONES

New Form Of Blood Trans.
fusion Accomplished

New York, Nov. 19-Fifty of the
leading surgeons of the Western Hem
isphere, here attending the third an
nual clinical congress of the Surgeons
of North America, journeyed over to
Kings County Hospital to see frac-
tured hip nailed together with spikes
and a hammer.
The operation demonstrated a new
method of setting fractured bones, and
was performed by DR.. A. c. Bristow.
Sterilized steel spikes were driven
home with hammer blows. When the
bone knits the spikes will be with
drawn. Another delicate operation,
witnessed by the score of surgeons,
was performed by DR.. Frank Hartley
at the New York Hospital, with Joseph
D. Carroll, the horseman, as the sub
ject. Dr. Hartley lifted portion Of
CAROLS skull and exposed his brain
to the visiting scientists for treatment.
A tumor had been removed from the
brain only few hours before and the
patient then was on the road to re-
covery.

Why Our Bedrooms Are
Damper Than Other Rooms

Every housewife has observed that
when the weather become humid and
damp, the air of the bedroom is al
ways more heavily saturated with
moisture than that of any other room
n the house, no matter how thor
oughly it may be aired. AS the bed
room is, of all rooms, the one in
which it is most to be desired that
The air be kept fresh and sweet this
has ever been a source of trouble.
The air that comes through the win
dows of every room is usually almost
exactly the same. 1t may be little
iresher on the side where the wind is
great. The reason for the greater
moistness Of the bedroom, therefore,
must lie within the room itself. The
bedroom, it is evident, must contain
something which produces this condi-
ton.
Immediately the thought of linen
comes to the mind, for this it is that
distinguishes the bedroom. The table
linen of the dining room is not al
ways displayed, but the sheets and
counterpanes remain upon the bed.

humidity of a room? Feel the sheets

that the very thinness of the fabric

full velvet dress is draped.
At the bust and sleeves it is draped
and very decidedly at the waist be-
meath the arm and upon the skirt. The
shape is a revival of the princess
gown adapted to the silhouette of the

Why Divorces Follow
Only Happy Marriages

In the recent investigation which
has been made into the early married
life of couples that have been divorce
ed the surprising fact has come out
that these were usually marked by
unusual happiness during the first
few months or years of matrimony.
Scarcely ever does there come into
the divorce court a case in which the
marriage has been one of Indifference.
That there are hundreds of thousands
of these is well-known, but they sell
dom come to an open rupture.
Reno and other cities where large
number of divorces may be seen are
usually grossly misrepresented, the
feeling elsewhere being that such
towns are conspicuously filled with a
fast anr flashy set AS a matter of
fact, precisely the contrary is true
Some few sporty danes" and kay
dogs" are seen, and thew rs"ally are
to be found in the foreground. b t
the bulk of the applicants for dive ces
are conspicuous for being amiable and
affectionate. Warm-heartelness is the
predominant characteristic.
One of the most astute Gi Gree law
yers in the country, comment ne on
the preliminary report Of IT, ~ esti-
cation declared it to be part Of h.s
experience that he could be sure that
divorce proceedings would never be
stopped when there had been one per-
iod of entire married bliss no matter
how brief, but that when the relation

throughout, the suit was almost sure
20 be compromised. Incompatability
Of temper, he declared, was the surest
way to perpetuate marriage, while
the happy honeymooners, finding them
selves unable to continue their trans
ports upon the same high plane, be-
come mutually dissatisfied with eacn
other and would not make up" be-
cause they had the memory of such a
far greater JOY with which to COM
pare it.

other substance in the house. Their
closely woven fibres, acting under
strong capillary attraction, suck up
the moisture from the air.
But, it will be objected, the removal
of that amount of moisture from the
atmosphere should make it dryer. Ger
tainly, if the room were sealed and
alright, but since it is not, the air
from which the moisture has been
drawn rises and is displaced by more
damp air coming in, so that the air it
self remains as moist. So far, there
is nothing to choose between the at
mosphere of the bedroom and that OF
any other room in the house.
At this point evaporation comes into
play The sheets are damp, but they
are drying constantly, that is, the
moisture is eyaporating into the air,
while, at the same time. they are TAX
ing in more moisture to keep-as far
as possible-as full of moisture as
they can hold. 1t is easy to see that
this action of linen in sending more
moisture into the air makes it more
dense and increases the humidity. For
this there is no remedy, but for awhile
the air can be made dryer by placing
on the floor large dish of unslacked
lime. This will attract and absorb the
moisture without evaporating it again

GREAT STRIDES IN
BLOODLESS SURGERY
Operations Done Without Use
of AnpSthGtiCS

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov 19.-In the
presence of a number of leading ply
sicians and surgeons of this section of
Pennsylvania at a special clinic in
Jefferson Hospital, DR.. E. G. Abbott,
orthopedic surgeon of the Maine Cen
eral Hospital Portland, Me-, perform
tons without the use of the knife, de-
monstrating by invitation his remark
able cure for fixed sclerosis, or curva-
ture of the spin.
/ The patients were a boy of about 13
years and a girl a little older. Both
were in a wretched condition when
they were taken into the operating
room, their backs being so badly curv-
ed that for years little hope had been
entertained that they could be cured.
Upon a special devised operating
table the segments of the spinal col
umn in each of the patients were
carefully forced to their normal posi-
ton, partly by machinery resembling
somewhat the rack of inquisition fame,
and partly by hand manipulation.
The process was exit emely slow. In
neither of the operations were anes-
thetics used, and but very little evil
dence of pain was shown by the pa
tients. After the spinal column had
been set in it's proper position each
patient was placed in heavy plaster
cast, which will be kept in place until
the spine becomes permanently set in
the proper position.
The result of the operation will be
watched with great interest by local
medical men, as it is believed that this
new method of restoring unfortunate
cripples to health is one of the great
est scientific discoveries for the elm
nation of human suffering in recent
years.

who has experienced 1t, and is charged
with blessings for those that come af-

On the same subject President David
Starr Jordan, of Leland Stanford IN
iversity, takes up the phase of eugen-
les and calls it the "Burbanking of the
human race" He agrees with Sir
James Crichton Browne in the matter
of love, declaring that love is the best
basis for marriage.
Il used the phrase 'Burbanking the
race" says President Jordan, Ito show
that, although systematic, scientific Sc
lection of mates could be made to pro-
duce great physical strength, beauty,
endurance, and even mental powers,
those very persons who might be thus
effectively mated would never submit
to state dictation.
"If they would, they must in time
eliminate the most vital element in
human evolution-love and initiative
Love is the best basis for marriage,
and love is a very real and noble
thing, in spite of the baseness of its
limitations.

diffusion of sound ideals of life and

work, that the DEGREES do not put ar

happy ones, the ill-assorted pairs us
ually continuing their nagging career
to their mutual discomfort until the

perhaps this very continuousness of
quarreling is provocative of a certain
affection, in that it keeps life spiced

not the couples to be watched, rather

VS.. LOVE AS
BASIS FOR MARRIAGE

A defense of love at first sight was
made by Sir James Critchton Browne
in his presidential address to the con-
ference of sanitary inspectors.
Il am a believer" the celebrated
physician said, "in the love match, not
only from a romantic, but from a
sugenic point of view. In a very large
proportion of marriages love plays no
part, or only very subordinate one.
Rank, social influence, ambition, and
what Carlisle calls the cash nexus are
dominant factors, but marriages thus
made are not the most likely to pro-
duce favorable results in the next gem
Grafton.
Our aristocracy, the late Prof. Lay
cock used to say, has been saved by
its occasional alliances with actresses
and milkmaids. There must be deep
physiological significance in the spon-
toneous, ineXplicablc attraction that
instantly draws two persons into sym
pathetic union, and the offspring of
unions thus brought about are, ! be-
lieye, more likely to be healthy than
the offspring OF those who have allied
themselves in cold blood from mercen-
airy or sordid motives.
81 am not defending foolish, hasty
early marriages, of which we have q
great deal too many. The abolition of
Gletna Green was a loss to the novel
list, but a gain to the country. Love at
