"The man and woman who love

shun divorce as an evil thing.
Many married people live in hell

NEW YORK, June 29.-Dr. Charles
P. Bancroft, head OF the New Hamp-
shire State Hospital for Insane. and
member OF the Federal Commission,
which axemined Harry Thaw during
his sojourn in New Hampshire, swore
on the witness stand today that in his
opinion Thaw was not only sane. but
had always been sane. DR.. Bancroft
testified as an expert alienist in jury
proceedings to determine Thaw's men,
tai condition. Thaw's act in killing
Stanford White. DR.. Bancroft said,
was not product OF syStematized de.
lusion. such as characteriZes the true
paranoiaS.
The killing of Stanford White" he
said. appeared to US a passionate i'm
pulse act, growing out of condition
OF mind. due chiefly to anger and
jealousy which was the final bllmina-
tion of a series of circumstances that
had been bearing on him long time.
1t did not seem a type Of paranoia,
but was due TO jealousy OF Mr.. White,
not to a diseased condition OF mind.
Thaw knew that White had been an
tagonistic to him in an unpleasant
way.
He wanted to get even with White.
His act was the product OF a sane
mind. which, after he had INDUCED in
champagne. suddenly lost control Of
itself"
Then you believe Thaw was never
insane?" asked Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Becker. 81 do" was the reply.
Another reason for my belief is that
Thaw expressed regret for his deed.
A paranoiaS never expresses regret.
He continually tries to Justify the
deed and no amount OF persuasion can
convince him he did wrong"

CBy Associated Press
LONDON. June 29.-The Russian
center in Galicia IS rapidly reforming
behind the River Knial Lipa before
General Won Linsingen's drive across
the kniester, but this retreat in the
opinion Of London military critics, is
almost entirely due to the battle in
the Lemberg region. where the posi-
tions OF the Russians made retirement
inevitable. These movements have
strengthened the Austro-German line.
and have consolidated the hold OF the
Teutons on the regained Galician cap
ital.
Fruitless fighting sums up the oper-
atoms along the western front. where
artillery duels lack vigor except on
the line between Arras and the sea.
where bombardment OF the positions
has been almost continuous.
The expected detachment Of Ger
man troops in the eastern front for
operations in the west evidently had
not vet occurred This probably is
due to the stubborn Russian retreat
and the increasing pressure OF the
Italians.
The advance Of the Italians has been
slow. but il it is to be entirely stopped

ability be transferred from the Cali
clan line. unless Austria is willing to
surrender the seaport Of Triest.

DESTROY CORN STUBBLE
FARMERS Can Reduce Damage from
Corn Stalk Bofer by Turning
Under Stnbble in Fall.

Corn stubble should not be allowed
to stand in the field all winter undis-
tu7bed The corn stalk borer IS one
of the reasons" for this. This insect
Is one of the most notorious corn
pests Of the South and evidence Of its
work can be seen In practically any
corn field at harvest time. Il IS the
cause of the holes that may occur In
any portion OF a stalk.
The corn stalk boreT remains as a
lazva OF worm, tn the base OF corn
stubbh beneath the ground during the
winter. Farmers DO this insect a
great favor, therefore, when they let
their corn stubble stand undfsturbed
tn the field during fall and winter.
Destroying corn stubble Is not very
easy, except on moderniy equipped
farms where there Is sufficient horse
power and the stubble can be turn
ed under thoroughly. There Is. there
tore. some temptation to leave it IN
disturbed. But the advantages OF
turning stubble are such that farm
er cannot we'll afford not to DO 1t.
Turning II under helps very much in
reducing the corn stalk borer for
the next season.
Where thorough turning cannot be
praCt1ced, there are other methods
such as busting out' the stubbae and
baulfng 4 TO the compost heap for rot
tina BY anothes method. after the
corn b eafhered. staIhs, stubbba, and
everything else my be busted ous,"
reked into heaps and. after a few
weeas tr drying burned. In expert
mentai work q very large percentage
OF cDsn sta1h boee1 larvae (worms)
was Destroyed during winter where
she stubble wes plowed out end aeft
exposed to the weather
Bot when these methods are prac
ttced by farmers only here and there,
tt viii not help the situation very
mach. The control of the corn stalk
tores depends upon the cooperative
action of the farmers OF a community.
The fact must also be borne In
mjad that It Is an extravagant prac.
tice to let corn fields lie idle and e1.
posed during the winter months, not
only on acoount Of these insect pests.
but also on account Of the loss from
washing and teaching of soils.
