NADMAN ARRESTS GIRL I'm STORE
AS DOROTHY ARNOLD
And Claim il Made That Police Would
Not Rescue Smith at All.

New York Police Investigators as
serted that Mrs. Lewis T. Smith, who
was arrested by a self-styled detec-
tive as the missing Dorothy Arnold,
had received police protection and
had been treated with courtesy, she
reiterated that she had been handled
roughly and had appealed in vain for
aid
Through a friend she declared thai
she had been dragged up the subway
stairs by James e. Calvin, the pre-
tended detective, and that a patrolman
walked with the crowd to the Sixty
eighth Street Police Station only after
she had demanded insisently that one
be called. She is still suffering from
the shock
The police Investigators said that
a subway officer had noticed Calvin s
queer actions and suspected he was
not a detective, but advised Mrs.
Smith to 60 with him to the police
station to avoid a scene. The subway
employee said she was not handled
with force.
Calvin is still held at Bellevue for
examination as to his mental condi-
ton. His wife says he has been act
ing strangely since a severe attack of
the grip several weeks ago.

COWPEAS GROWN IN SUMMER
Valuable Crop to Precede and Follow Grain-Roots and Stabble Left
 Behind Enrich Soil.

CBy J. F. NICHOLSON. Agronomfst. Uni
 versity of Arizona1
 Cowpeas may be grown during the summer, being d valuable crop. there fore, to follow and precede grain crops where sufficient water for their cul- ture is available. If fed green or cut for hay. the roots and stubble left be hind enrich the soil and if the entire growth be plOwed under still greater addition is made to the fertility of the field The fact that they grow only during summer when irrigation water is comparatively scarce has prevented as extensive culture as would be pos Sible with q more abundant water sup uly. The Whippoorwill is the variety most commonly planted, although the blackeyed coWpea is recommended as a feeding crop for all elevations ex- cept the highest, where it is not all ways certain. better variety for the higher elevations is the New Era.
 Cowpeas should be planted from April l to August 1, at elevations un- der $500 feet, from May to July under 5000 feet, and from May 10 to June 15 at elevations over 5,000 feet The later dates are for dry farming sections over $500 feet. They are not successful at a lower altitude except under irrigation.

mostly entire, expanded, cup-shaped, and smooth at the apexes, correspond ing with the scar at the base of the seed. The uniformly smooth border of the expanded, cup-shaped apex, to- gether with the smooth seed scar, re suits from the normal separation of the seed along a definite suture.
 The prevailing color of mature seed hulls is blackish brown. Many seeds are partially or wholly reddish. Some are straw-colored. A few are tawny or light brown.
 The hulled grains vary from eight one-hundredths to twelve 0ne-hun- dredths of an inch in length. They usually are oval, sometimes oval-ellip- tical in outline, the embryo end tend ing to be the more pointed. The color is dark reddish brown. They are no- ticeably smaller and darker colored than those of Sudan grass and have a relatively narrower embryo.
 Some of the seeds of Johnson grass present a short stem, owing to failure to separate at the articulation of the rachis and spikelet. In such cases, the distinct suture at the articulation in Johnson grass, evident under good magnifier, appears to be an unfailing mark of distinction between the seeds of Johnson grass and Sudan grass.

 By far the commonest of the foun- tain efforts are being made in stucco, or in concrete and cement. It takes no millionaire to provide the where Withai to make such Il fountain. Nor does one even have to go to that much expense. Even modest wooden struc- lures. water-proofed and sunk so that they may be hidden by plants, are with in the command of the plain mortal.
 Brick and terra cotta are both being much used in the construction of small fountains. Of course the character of fountain and the value that it will achieve as Il part of your home all de- bends upon your own good judgment and taste.
