Saws HOSPITALS Need Humanlz,,o

Hospitals need humanizing and doc
tors need socializing, so that both may
give the community medical social
service, according to DR.. Stephen S.
Wise, rabbi of the Free Synagogue
who spoke at a meeting Of the New
York Conference on Hospital Social
Service.
I'VE have a right" said DR.. Wise,
ito ask Of hospitals more than mere
treatment of disease. They should
tell us the causes of social disease
We ask hospitals to do more than give
remedial attention to tuberculosis. We
ask them to tell everyone the causes
of tuberculosis. But hospitals can't
become real social centers until theiI
boards Of directors and physicians are
socialized. We want to give them a
social consciousness. Physicians es
pecially must get a social vision. they
must realize their relation In the 30

Freak Well Puzzles labor

Tabor.-On the farm of John Witek,
north Of Tabor, has been discovered a
freak well, which sucks air instead of
emitting an outward pressure. 1t is
a tubular we'll and was drilled last
fall. From the first the we'll had a
great deal of water in it. but recently
the water entirely disappeared. and
now, when a hand is placed over the
opening at the top OF the piping a
strong suction of air is felt. The FREAK
well is go feet deep and when first
drilled contained $50 feet of water.
What has become OF the water is a
question which is puzzling the average
laymen as well as many expert geolo-
gists. What causes the suction also
is a complete mystery.

Editor Convicted.

Sioux Falls.-A jury in the state cir.
cult court, after being out about six
hours, returned a verdict awarding
Oliver S. Pendar, clerk of the United
States court in this city, damages OF
81 against Mark d. Scott, publisher of
the Sioux Falls Journal.
Pendar instituted an action against
the Sioux Falls editor for libel, grow
ing out of the publication in his paper
of charges that the federal court Off
cial had charged illegal fees and had
offered to arrange a jury list to the
satisfaction of an attorney. Pendar
sought to recover damages in the sum
of $4,000.
The returning of a verdict of 81
damages against Scott will make the
editor liable for only 81 of the costs
of the action, as the costs assessed
against a plaintiff or defendant cannot
exceed the amount of the judgment re-
turned.

reasons are evident when we consider

ideal, because there are no towns up

The owner OF a city or town lot of

is usually interested in affairs which
he considers more important, or. at
least, more practical, than the abstract
principles of gardening, no matter In
what form they are presented or what
application is to be made of them.
His immediate requirement. IL his at.
tention is directed at all toward the
subject, is practise and not theory.
He wants planting and not principle;
his main desire is to employ the
speediest and safest process to make
his yard, his grounds, or his estate as
tremendously and effectively beauti-
full as trees, shrubs, plants and vines.
within the limits OF his financial re-
sources, will permit. In a sense, he
is justified; and, in any event, he is
but responding to a common and nat
ural impulse to obtain for himself
that which has pleased or interested
him. He is impatient Of theory and
anxious for results. Dispositions on
the fundamental laws of gardening or
landscaping are tedious IL not ~perplex-
ing, and, in his judgment, OF little
value. His conclusion may be hasty,
but to some extent Is entirely correct.
There are no hard and fast rules for
gardening, and particularly for the art
OF ornamental gardening, whether it
be conducted on a large or a small
scale, on a country estate, or on the
back OF a city lot. There are some
principles best remembered, but even
they are not without innumerable va
riations in application.
Where trees are planted on small
city lots, In many instances shrubs
would be OF greater value and be
more effective and far more appro-
pirate. AS a matter Of fact, the ad-
vantages of shrubs are often over,
looked or ignored. Tall-growing and
