Unable to secure sufficient evidence
to warrant conviction, Peter Yonko
and julius Yonko, the two gypsies who
were arrested on a charge of holding

a necond band of gypsies of a sum of
$500 while he was camping south of
Hammond Sunday night. were dis
charged before City Judge Barnett

trial yesterday afternoon several as
sault and battery cases were filed in
Judge Ames' court, several of the gyp-
sizes having each other arrested on the

conduct in the clerks office to new
rules and arrangements.
For the convenience of the growing

GNATT TO
|. OPEN new
FACTORY
II a m m ond Manufacturer
Decides to Start Industry
in Alabama Similar to One
He Is Operating in Ham
mond.

Owe Gnatt. who has built up a pros
porous plant in Hammond in which all
kinds of decorative plants are treated
in a secret chemical process in order to
preserve them in their natural color
and shape, is about to open a similar
industry in Evergreen, Ala, in which
Evergreen capital is interested and
which is altogether independent of the
Hammond institution.
Twenty-Five people are employed in
the Hammond plant, and foliage from
all over the world is treated here. Mr..
Gnatt's father operates a similar plant
In Sweden. The Evergreen concern ac-
cording to Mr.. Gnatts statement is to
have twice the capacity of the Ham
mond plant, and will in no way inter
fere with the work or the running of
it up here.
The principal things to be treated in
Alabama are magnolia leaves and all
kinds of native evergreens which grow
there in abundance. Mr.. Gnatt is in
Evergreen to get things in shape for
the opening of his plant.
The Evergreen Courant speaking OF
the new industry says:
Evergreen Is fortunate in securing
another industry that promises to
bring many thousands of dollars to our
community. And IL is an enterprise
| that will utilize a product of the for
| ests that is worthless for any other
purpose 1t is the preparation and
| shipping of evergreens for decorative
purposes This business has been car
ried on here for more than twenty
| years and while the new enterprise
will not interfere with the business II
will increase the volumne and scope o.
TERRITORY 10 which 1t will be shipped.

decoratives by a secret chemical pro
| cess which preserves the foliage, caus
ling IL to retain its rich green color foi
an indefinite period and also makes i
non combustible. Mr.. Gnatt has beer
| using this process for years. and sayi
that his reason for establishing plan
In Evergreen is to obviate the cullins
that is found necessary when the raw
| product is shipped from here to his In
diana packing house. Much of the stuf
shipped is unfit for treating. He says
he expects by the middle of next yea
to be able to give employment to some

TURKISH BATH KNOWN OF OLD
Discovery Made In ireland Proves
That the Luxury Was Enjoyed
Many Ages Ago.

Another proof Of the antiquity OF
some modern" Injuries is supplied in
the recent discovery by James Buck
ley, a member Of the Royal Irish acad-
envy, OF what may be described as a
prehistoric Turkish bath. 1t has been
found not far from the seacoast town
of Schulz, in a wild spot near the ex-
treme so%uthernmost point of Ireland.
1t appears to be not the only relic OF
it's kind. Sweating holes" as they
are called, have been found in other
parts of Ireland. This, however, is in
a particularly good state of preserva-
ton. 1t is on a lonely m~ountainside,
far removed from other relics Of civil
zation.
The building" writes Mr.. Buckley
in an article in the Cork Archaeology
cal Journal, lis roughly circular, meas
uring ten feet by nine feet. Looking
into it from above, its general appear
ance is not unlike an ordinary lime
kiln. 1t was entered by a doorway.
or creep, measuring two feet in height
and width, lined with large stones
placed on edge, and covered with two
flags.
1T is impossible to determine how
a. knowledge Of the principle of the
hot air bath reached Ireland. 1t is GER
tain, however, that a rude form OF
bath on that principle has been in
existence from remote ages. If, as
supposed, the Phoenicians ever visited
Ireland, they may have brought q
knowledge Of the bath with them.
"In some instances a sweating hole
Of primitive type has been known to
be used by the local %peasantry within
so years Of our own time. When re-
quired for use, a large fire was lighted
in the middle of the floor, and allowed
to burn out. The ashes were then
swept away, and the patient went in
on his hands and knees, having first
taken off his clothes, with the excep-
ton of his under garment. The
patient remained within until he be-
gan to perspire %copiously, when, II
young and strong, he plunged into the

ly resorted to it after burning kelp,

the owner does not know why. This
is often due to borers or the scale
insects or beetles, the presence of
which has not been detected or u.s.
pected, but which injuries might have
been prevented If the facts had been
known in time. More sudden losses
are caused by overwhelming attacks
of l~eaf-eating insects, which, although
conspicuous, are not dealt with be-
cause proper measures of procedure
are not known.
But, Of late years, a great work has
been accomplished along this line
through proper experiments and OBJ
servations. Careful examinations are
being made of the affected trees and
shrubs and the life history Of the
insects causing the injuries Is being
studied deeply. This is In order that
authorities In control of parks. boule-
wards and streets, and owners Of
lawns and other private premises may
become posted on the habits and char
acteristics Of the pests. and know
how to combat them.
Take, for instance. the elm tree.
The spraying Of large elms is. of
course. a difficult and expensive oper-
alton, and the cankerworms, which
cause great injury to these trees, are
less susceptible to arsenical poisons
than many other insects. A cheap
and efficient method of protecting the
tree is the preparation Of adhesive
preparations, for trapping the insects
which creep up or down the trunks
Of the trees.
When the elm caterpillars are full
grown they leave the tree to pupate
in the earth, and the female moth
emerging, being wholly without wings,
can only reach the tree to lay her
eggs by climbing up the trunk. II
this is encircled at the proper time by
a sticky band impossible by her or
by young worms just emerging from
the egg, the tree is virtually secure
against canker-worm injury.
The sticky substance may be ap-
piled directly to the bark as a deter
rent against the attack of borers, or
may be used on bands Of paper, tin,
or strawboard. For the elm leaf

thought of Mignonnei He must let
her know that he had acted as a

1t was about two in the morning
that Doctor Renaud heard a faint
hammering upon the door of his cot
tage in the village of Beddington.
He started up and listened. Tap,

Two bodies lay PROSTATE in the

in one of them.
Two hours later Pierre opeSed his
