A bullet meant for the mother, it is be-
iieved. killed the little girl instantly.
John Plescia, the father. was locked up

little before 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon. it is said, the quarrel was re-

DR.. Finley gave hearing IN the
teacher-mother cases early in Decem-
Der a. the State Educational Building.
Each of the teacner-mothers who lost
her place after becoming a mother was
represented by counsel.
The merits OF the PeiXotto case were
gone into thoroughly at the hearing

that of Mrs. Caroline Griswold. and

Think Statistics Misleading.


The statistics brought forth to show
that commerce between the United
States and neutral countries contigu-
Gus to Germany and Austria had in
creased materially since the outbreak
of the war were regarded here az mis-
leading. 1t was pointed out that, IN
view of the breaking down OF the nor
NAL routes of commerce with Germany
and Austria, many non-contrabsnd
products had been shipped through
neutral countries. Similarly, the neu-
trail countries which previously had o.
tained much of their supplies from
belligerents were now importing from
the United States.
As to the increase in shipments OF
copper to Italy. it was pointed out that
the Italian Ambassador already had
explained that Italy. which had pr
viously obtained copper from GermsI
and Austria for her manufactures, no
was forced TO import from the Unit
States because of the embargo on
portation which the belligerents the
selves had imposed. The Amcri'
government contends, moreover, &
if some copper has reached the
ligeren;s through neutral countri1
is the duty Of the British 10 make.
more effective arrangements with those
neutral countries.
The admission Of Great Britain that.
as TO foodstuffs and conditional con
traband Lord Salisbury's doctrine,
quoted in the American note, would
be followed in practice BY the British,
foodstuffs being held up only wheff
destined TO an enemy force, also was
pleasing to American officials.
There is every reason to believe thrt
the United States will not accept the
view Of Great Britain that cargoes
must be taken into port for extended
examination. While statistics ad-
vanced show that only forty-fve car
goes out OF 573 have actually gotten
into the prize courts. officials here note
that no mention Is made in the British
note Of the great number Of American
cargoes detained and subsequently re-
leased. II Was not the loss already
suffered by American commerce which
brought forth the American note. but
the desire TO prevent commerce in the
future from being mistreated. The
United States also laid stress on the
effect which the detentions slresdy
made had had on shippers, who hesi-
tated TO export cargoes on account a
the hazards involved and what was
termed the indecision Of the British

While they are generally reserved IN
their comment, it may be stated au.
thoritatively that high officials Of the
United States government regard the
tone Of the note as entirely friendly.
and believe. moreover, that the dis
eusson which will follow it will be
carried on in the same vein, with
desire by both countries to reach 4
satisfactory understanding.
The admission by Great Britain OF
one Of the chief points in the Amer.
can note-that the relations between
neutrals were those of normal tincs.
Of peace. and not war-was gratifying
to officials, who believed that the con-
troversy would now resolve itself into
O. frank discussion Of what were the
actual necessities of the case which
impel interference by a belligerent
when suspecting that the ultimate des-
tination Of neutral cargo is belliger-
ent territory.

AGAINST HIGH HEELS
Authority Points Out Danger of Fash ion Which Just Now Has Strong
 Hold in Femininity.

An eminent authority of the medical profession has again urged upon his brother physicians the importance of impressing upon the public the need of properly caring for the feet, not only so far as having shoes construct ed correctly, but also in urging every one to take proper amount of foot gymnastics. High heels" says the Journal of the American Medical As sociation in quoting Ritschl, "are par ticularly dangerous and lead to in numerable bodily ills"
 The strength and well being of the entire body depend in a large meas ure on the condition of the feet. and their development in children should be watched with special care to avert injurious influences.
 High heels, Doctor Ritschl declares, affect injuriously not only the foot itself, but throw the whole weight bearing mechanism more or less out of gear. By extending moderately high heel backward many muscular trou. bles are automatically cured"

THE MODERN GLADl0LUS
By GEORGE s. WOODRUFF.

Everybody knows the gladiolus-in a way It has been called "The Peo- ple's Flower" because the common people can get more satisfaction out of it, without special care or facilities. than from any other flower. As cut flower, nothing but the expensive or enid lasts so long and no other flower has such variety and beauty of color ing.
 Nevertheless, the modern gladiolus is almost unknown to large majority of our people, because of the great i'm provement which has been made in comparatively short time.
 The gladiolus is propagated by di- rect multiplication, by cormels and by seeds. The corm planted dies at the end of the season, but produces new one at the base of each shoot it sends up; so that the rapidity of multiplica- ton depends on the number of shoots sent up.
 When the corms are dug in the fall

SHADE TREES FOR BEAUTY
Rx L M GRIEElN

In selecting a list of trees to plant for shade on your lawn or along the avenue or near the house. make a note of the character of the soil and plant accordingly.
 If you are planning 9 home in the lowlands, where it is damp and where fogs hang on the better part of the morning .cut it out sell out, get out, do anything to get out, and go up higher if possible.
 Leave the swampy lands to the frogs and mosquitoes and the levers.
 Make note of the trees on the hiilsides and those that grow on the hilltops. Pick out those that hold their foliage longest, also those whose foliage is healthiest and most dense
 Some advocate spring and some fall planting of fruit and forest trees. I have it that the following gives good results: Where the trees to be set out are larger than two or three year old trees, I dig a hole four feet wide each way and two feet deep some time during the late fall or early winter.
 The top soil is thrown on one side, the subsoil on the other.
 The combined actions of the rain, freezing and thawing, produce good effect on the soil thrown out, and upon the sides of the hole.
 The trees to be set out are pro- cured during the fall and are heeled

IN THE GARDEN


 Do not make the mistake of planting magnolias in the autumn. Where they thrive there is nothing more showy than the Chinese varieties. The flow CTS appear about the same time as the crocuses and tulips in the spring. The spring is better time for planting.
 Do not permit any weeds to go to seed. Better not allow the seed pods to form. Go carefully over the garden these fall days and clear out every weed. Will save lots of trouble next season.
 Destroy the webs of the fall web worms wherever they are found.
 Right now is the time to arrange for cold frames for flowers and for the

a number of bulblets or "cormels" are found attached to them. These cormels produce the same kind as the corms they are taken from and Towering the second or third year from planting rarely the first year.
 When seeds are sown they will pro- duce hardly two sorts alike, and many will be worth keeping, but there may be some fine new sorts The seedlings will flower the second or third year.
 It is much more satisfactory to buy the cream of other peoples seedlings than to fill the garden with lot of poor sorts.
 Plant in full sunshine, but not against the south side of wall, and away from the roots of trees, in we'll prepared soil, mellow, sandy loam preferred, and one retentive of mois- ture.
 Avoid contact with manure, which should never be fresh and had better be plowed in the previous season or in the fall.
 Occasionally restore potash to the soil in some form as for potatoes. If the soil be stiff or clayey put sandy loam in the furrow.
 Plant in furrows three to five inches deep, according to the size of the corms, and the quality of the soil and at intervals of, say, two weeks from the time the ground will work up we'll in July.
 By this means and by the differ ence in earliness of varieties, flowers may be had from July until hard frost. It is most important that the ground be kept stirred and mellow at all times, especially as soon after each rain as the ground will work we'll and before crust forms.
 Unless you have planted in masses for landscape effect, cut every stem as soon as the first two or three flow CTS open and let the buds develop in water in the house. Every morning remove the old flowers, shorten the stems and change the water. Keep at night in cool place.
 Thus treated the stems will be in bloom a week or more.
 If few especially large flowers are wanted pinch off some of the top buds at the start.
 Before the ground freezes dig the bulbs and dry them. Then cut of the stems, close and store in shallow baskets or boxes in cool, dry place Pull off the old bulbs and roots when you have time.
