who had not been invited among the
favored few with Colonel Roosevelt to
the dinner, hoped in. Nothing was
said then. On the way to the Kirk
wood home Colonel Roosevelt desired
TO stop a few minutes at the home OF
Herbert f. Hadley, former governor
of Missouri, who was i'll at the time.
The stop was made, and Nortom, OF
course, went in also,
"Dltched" by Colonel.
There matters were maneuvered so
that Nortoni was last to get a chance
to speak to Hadley, and while he was
doing so the others Of the party made
a quick move for the motor~ar. with

thousand square feet.
Even after a lawn is established
on heavy clay, itis not too late to
Tighten the soil by sand applications.
Shary clean sand free Of silet is best
and should be applied to a depth OF
one-eighth of an inch or more over
the turf. 1t will work into the soil
quickly and will produce lasting
and decidedly beneficial effect.
Lawns are benefited by frequent
clipping. During the rapid-growtng
season mowings twice week are not
too frequent. 1t usually makes little
difference whether the clipped erase
is removed or allowed to remain on
the lawn. 1t is coming to be consid-
cred the best practice to remove 1t,
however. 1t is neither necessary nor
advisable to roll lawns during the
summer.
Lawns should be well watered dur
ing dry periods and should be soaked
thoroughly twice or three times
week rather than lightly sprnkled
at more frequent intervals. Later az
ternoon or evening Is the best time fol
watering on bright, hot days. Weeds
are troublesome in all lawns through
out the growing season, but particu-
larly so from the latter part OF June
until frost. Pulling or cutting these
plant pests from the turf is the most
satisfactory way of Kidding lawn OF
them. The control Of trailing weede
and undesirable grasses can best be
accomplished by raking prior to
moving, the intruders thus being
raised so that the mower blades will
clip them. The use OF chemical
sprays on lawn weeds has not given
very satisfactory results. On the
whole, the weed problem can best be
solved by making the conditions as
favorable as possible for the turf
grasses and maintaining strict
watch at all times to remove trouble
some weeds as they appear. A grass.
seed mixture rich in red fescuS will
grow better in shady places probably
than other mixtures. By thorough
watering and the llveral use Of fer.
tilIzers and lime, however, the evil
effects Of shade on the growth Of all
lawn grasses largely can be over
come in many cases.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The
work Of lawn repair, like that OF
making a new lawn, declare special
lists Of the United States department
of agriculture, is best performed in
early September in the regions south
of New England and north Of the Po-
tomac and Ohio rivers. To improve
an old lawn that has run down is
often more difficult than to make a
new one, but If reasonably good turf
exists it can be bettered materially
by reseeding and fertiliing. If the
lawn is patchy, the small areas
should be scratched with a steel rake,
dressed with loan or compost, and
the. seed sown on this. In large areas
of the lawn have thin covering OF
turf, 1t Will be advantageous to use a
disk saeder. After seeding, a second
dressing of loan or compost should
he applied and tho areas rolled light
ly.
In New England and the other
states of the northern tier, similar
procedure should be adopted in re-
newing the lawn, Int the work should
be done in spring Care should be
taken In watering and moving all
new paintings of lawn grass not to
disturb the young plants.
Lawn Maintenance.
Careful attention is necessary If an
established lawn is TO be kept in good
condition Most lawns need an oc-
casional application Of some good fer
tilier regardless Of the kind Of soil
on which they exist. Thoroughly
rooted stable manure is excellent for
this purpose. Another good dressing

1t will be remembered that on his

Kansas City. His visit to the city was
made the occasion for a gathering of
me clans to talk over Missouri and
Progressive politics, and Judge Nor

Just what had happened previously is
not public knowledge, but it became
noticeable that there was some consid-

FEAR Of MOOSE
DRIVES HIM
INSANE
Prisoner in Colorado State
Penitentiary is Sent to the
Asylum.

DENVER, Colo, Aug. ga haunt
ing fear Of the gallows has driven
Harold Frank HCnwood insane and no
has been transferred from the IauD-
dry Of the state prison to the ward
set apart FOR the criminal insane.
Ever since the night OF May "a, 1911,
when Hcnwood shot and killed Sylvcs-
ter Won Phul and George r. Copeland
and seriously wounded John W. At
hnson in drunken row in the bar OF
the Brown hotel, this one-tImc society
man has held this fear, and at last
his mentality has given away and he
is hopelessly insane. according to eS-
pert alienists.
EIcnwoods halIucination is that he
has electric wires in his head, And de-
spite the commutation OF his sentence
OF death granted by the governor on
October 1G, 1913, he yet holds to the
belief that he Is to be hanged for
the killing Of the two men he shot
to death five years ago
Prisoner Closely Watched.
IIenwood has shown signs Of violent
insanity for several months, say the
prison officials who have been keeping
a close watch upon his movements A
year ago Doctor LamouTe, OF the pris-
on medical staff recommended that
Honwood be given hard manual labor
MS n means OF CiTocting a cure OF his
mental trouble, II was thought that
physical labor would clear his mind
and produce sound sleep This treat
mcnt was tried, but failed to produce
the desired effect.
II made no difference, however, in
the mental condition where he worked
or what labor he performed. Elo tossed
and tumbled all night, moaning aloud
and crying out many times that the
electric wires in his head were slow
~ burning him to death This con-
tlnued until last week, khcn he grew
violent and 1t became necessary 10
con6ne him in the ward for the Grim
inal insane.
His Mnlady Not Uncommon.
HCnwood's mental malady is not I'M
common to those who have been SEN
fenced to death on a murder charge,
say the crlminoogIsts. The circum-
stances Of the killing arc always be-
fore them after an exhaustng trial,
such as Hcnwoot underwent upon
two occasions in Denver, and when
the death sentence had been prOnounc-
ed It may as well be executed, say
these experts, so far as the mentality
Of the CONDEMNED Is concerned, be-
cause he is never able to recover from
the shock Of the sentence
Henwood was first tried July %,
1911, two months after the date he
shot Won Phul and Copeland to death.
He was charged with the killing of the
first named and the verdict was muir
der in the second degree He appealed
and q new trial was ordered by the
supreme court February 3, 1918. Hen
wood being confined IN the county jail
during the time his case was under
consideration In the higher tribunal.
He was placed on trial The second
time In June, 1913, the charge in that
case being the Staying OF George h.
Copeland, who was a bystander and
was accidentally shot by Fenwood
while the last named was firing his
revolver. The verdict In that case
was first degree murder and he was
sentenced to be hanged the week Of

hospital officials that the action OF
Johns Hopkins Hospital in disapprov-
ing the method would have no effect
on its use at the Long Island College
hospital and that the hospital had no
intention of giving 1t up now after the
satisfactory results which had been
obtained.
Or. A. j. Rongy, Of 1854 Henry street,
attending obstetrician and gynecolo-
gist Of the Jewish Maternity and Lee
banon hospitals, almost a year ago
declared that the twilight sleep meth
"a is practically dead issue.
Or, Rongy has written paper on
the subject Of twilight sleep, based
on the large number Of cases IN the
HOSPITALS OF this city and almost 1000
cases elsewhere in this country, which
he has studied. The paper, which was
published in the American journal OF
Obstetrics, sets forth Dr.. Rongy's rea-
sons for opposing the general use OF
the twilight sleep method.
Like Walking in Sleep.
1.-THE treatment was accepted with
TOO much enthusiasm at first" DR..
Rongy said. There was great mis-
conception on the part OF the public
regarding this treatment People
thought that 1t was painless, or al
most painless. This is not so; there
is as much pain as In ordinary child
birth. The only difference is that the
patient does not remember having the
sensation Of pain. The finer cells OF
the brain do not register the impress
sion and when the mother comes to
she thinks she has not suffered. The
strain is just as great as without twi-
light sleep. In fact twilight sleep Is
exactly like a man walking in his
sleep. He walks at night and knows
nothing about it in the morning and
in fact will deny It, but nevertheless
he has used his legs to walk"

tests extending over lengthy period
on the ground that the menace to the
life Of, the child is too great to war
rant its use, follows by more than a
wear similar action on the part OF the
majority Of New York hospitals where
maternity cases are received.
AS early as April, 1915, the twilight

abandoned at the Polyclillic Medical
School and Hospital. 1t also was
abandoned about the same time at the

Harry Sampson went out in his
motorboat Anna with his wife and
his chum, George Adams, to fish for
scabass. They had several shark
lines with them and set out one OF
these before they started hooking the
bass,
In the middle Of the afternoon the
shark line tautened with tremen-
dous Jerk. Mrs. Sampson was near

cleat on the deck and checked its
pull until the men could reach it,
Then all three handled It,
The shark soon revealed himself,
thrashing about violently and twice
leaping clear out of the water Once
when he was near tho boat Adams
shot twice at him with a revolver
but missed. Then the line gave way
and the shark departed with the hook

other shark. This line had not been

tBy Associated PressD
LONDON, June ga new boy pro-
blem brought about by the war has
created a field for male experts in
social work in England that of act
ing as supervisors for the thousands
of boys employed on munitions work
throughout the country. The sudden
rise in the economic value Of the boy,
the competition for his services and
the high wages he is paid, have made
many of his kind less amenable to dis
cipline than ever.
The Workers Welfare department
of the ministry OF munitions which
has been studying the boy problem
in its new phases finds that the chief
complaints are these:
Feeling certain of easily finding an
other job, a boy readily leaves work
shop because of some slight misunder
standing or seeming injustice, and his
high wages tend to make him indepen
dent of home control, and extravagani
and thriftless in spending them.
Believing that the boy needs, aside
from the formal factory control, kind,
