Mayor Fawcett was requested
by the firemen's pension board
today to appoint special commit
tee to investigate whether Mrs.
Louise Kobetich, 512 North End

1t was reported to the pension
board that Mrs. Kobetich is sup

In need of the pension. Firemen

without spending out unnecessary
money.
The committee will report next
month, and action will then be
taken.

Judicta, Decisions.

The New York Law Journal says
concerning an English decision:
The English case illustrates the 81.
periority Of the English law to our
own in that a prisoner may be found
guilty but insane. This English rule
is preferable on many grounds, but Its
adoption is especially desirable here
because Of the form Of the interstate
rendition law. The difficulty over Har.
ry K. Thaw's escape from New York
and the unsuccessful efforts for his
extradition would have been avoided
If he had been adjudged guilty but in.
sane, instead Of acquitted on the
ground OF insanity. A bill was passed
by both houses Of the legislature at
the last session to authorize verdicts
of guilty but insane Unfortunately
II contained An incidental clause to
enable defendants to plead guilty but
insane This would have furnished q
subterfuge by which any person, al
though both guilty and sane, might es.
cape the penalty for his crime, and
for this grave defect Governor Glynn
very properly vetoed the measure. It
ought to. be reiutroduced in amended
form in the next legislature"

MEANING OF HORSEPOWER
Mistake to Think Il 10 the Greatest
Monetary Strength Of the
Animal.

To lift $50 pounds one foot in one
second requires what is known as ons
horsepower. Similarly, a horsepower
Is able to raise twice that weight one
foot in twice the time, or one-haif
foot in just that time. Moreovers it
can raise half S6ecpounds one foot
In half a second, or two feet in q
second, and so on. Therefore, when
We lift one-fourth Of that weight, 1915
pounds, four feet in one second, We
are exerting a horsepower.
Accordingly, when a person who
weighs 1874 pounds runs upstairs at
the rate of four feet a second, he is
exerting the equivalent Of a horse
power. For a man weighing twice
that much, 275 pounds. It would be
necessary to climb atsthe rate Of only
two feet a second TO exert a horse
power. 1t ID possible to do much
more.
As a matter Of fact, a horse often
exerts many times a horsepower. The
average horse can draw q wagon up a
hill where a ten-horse-power engine
with the same load would fail. A
horsepower does not represent the
greatest momentary strength of the
average horse, but is a measure Of
the power which he can exert con
tinuously.

How Wife Can Please Hubby.

The wise woman is she who keeps
neat and trim in dress, dainty in per-
con, and alert and poised in mind, that
In so doing she may favorably stand
comparison with the business women
with whom her husband comes in con-
tact.
Most men, even those we'll past mid
die age, place high value upon ex'
ternals, and the woman who assumes
that she can hold a mans love indefi-
nitely, regardless of her personal ap-
|pearance, is, to my mind, making a
grave mistake.
More than one wife, serene in the
knowledge Of her husbands loyalty,
fails to realize that that same loyalty
Is due more to the mans sense Of duty
and conscientious self.control than to
the fact that his wife possesses the
qualities which actually. hold him true
