land Fish MAJ, in Bellevue,
Begs ''Ebullient, Elating, EAicaciously Ecstatic
Essie'' to Fly With Him to Cline Where 296
Varieties of His Wares Abound i'm Limpid w aters

There IS not one secret hollow oak
to be found on all Morningside Heights
and, though there are few puny sap
lings in the park, even the most desc
late would hesitate to hang verses on
their dripping branches, we'll knowing
that they would be contiscated by the
early morning nursemaids.
Charles Eifert was fish dealer and
practical man. Not his to be en-
barrassed by the absence of the con-
ventional appurtenances for love-mak-
ing in the city's concrete depths; when
he couldn't have hollow oak, he used
a dumbwaiter.
That is why Miss Ethel Cozzens, Of
$50 West Hath Street, who is blonde,
and min neteen years old, found love let
ters under her milk bottle each morn
ing. 1t is also why Eifert found the
iron bars of Bellevue confronting his
love sick gaze yesterday afternoon.
Not Crazy, Just in Love
Magistrate Sweetser in the West
Side Court agreed with Miss Cozzens
that the dumbwaiter was so conta1ni-
mated by ice and fish bills that it was
no place for love letters. He sent the
too ingenious ballad monger to
Bellevue for ten days observation.
the defendant.
well, we'll find out If love is in
sanity" the. judge replied, thereby
committing himself to an investiga-
tion which philosophers of all the
ages have tackled in vain.
Miss Cozzens told the judge that
Eifert was the son of a washerwoman,
who lived in the basement next door
to the home of her sister, Mrs. Samuel
Sheather, at $50 East Seventy-trst
Street; that he had followed her home
and annoyed her with his attentions
for more than two years. Love let
ters and romantic novels came UP on
the dumwaiter, she said, and on Sum
day mornings he used to stand in the
backyard and serenade her.
The only reason we have not COM
planned about him BEFORE" said the
girls mother, Mrs. Leonard Cozzens,
"is that we were sorry for his mother,
who, is. hard-working woman and
much distressed by her sons ways.
My son-in-law, Captain Sheather, has
done what he could to persuade the

man to leave my daughter alone, but
we finally lost patience and asked for
his arrest. Even last Sunday, after
the papers had been served upon him,
ne bobbed up in the backyard as mu-
steal as ever.''
Miss Cozzens produced in court sew
eral prize specimens of the fishdealer's s
effusions, in which he pleads with her
to fly with him to warmer cline,
latest one, dated March 2, was as fol-
lows:

An earlier letter is more intro
written before the blizzard,
apparently, before the call of tropic
waters became uppermost in the an
gler's mind.

French Heroine Acquitted
Former War Nurse Kisses
Judges Hand at Verdict

nurse, who was arrested ten days ago
accused of the theft of $40O worth of
clothing from the Hotel Rendezvous. in
West Forty-third Street, was dis
charged yesterday by Judge Malone, OF
General Sessions. in chambers.
The grand jury refused to indict the
woman. She kissed Judge Malone's
hand when he dismissed the case
against her: The management of the
hotel caused her arrest, charging that
she had stolen several articles OF
clothing left there by Margaret Allies,
an actress. Miss Jay had been en-
ployed at the hotel as maid.
When she was arraigned before
Magistrate Simpson in West Side
Court she admitted taking the clothing,
but said she thought it had been dis
carded. Miss Jay had been decorated

French government. She lost the sight

SAM BROWNE BELT

Roll Collar, Like British. Also Favor
err by Officers.

Washington, Jan 15.-The Sam
Browne belt, discarded reluctantly by
American officers returning from
overseas duty, where it was required,
may be added to the regulation uni
form of the United States Army, and
other important changes made il the
recommendation OF the division COM
manders and general staff officers in
session here are adopted by the War
Department.
Official announcement was made to-
day that the conference had voted
unanimously that the belt should be
worn. Major-Gen. Leonard Wood re-
ported that nearly all officers in the
central department desired to be al
lowed to wear the belt.
Virtually all officers present favored
a roll collar uniform blouse, similar
to the British, and many we're in favor
of blue instead OF olive drab for
other than field service. They desired
also to be permitted to wear civilian
clothes off duty.

and paper. Plan just what you are
going to do in your garden this sea-
son.
First OF all, the plans must con-
form to the size and shape OF the
garden plat II only a small piece Of
land is available, careful planning is
necessary in order to provide for the
crops that you want to grow. Last
year, perhaps, too much space was
devoted to lettuce and radishes and
not enough to beets, carrots, and
beans. Some of the crops did very
poorly because they were shaded by
the corn and pole beans, aud the
cucumbers and :quashes ran all over
the late beets and carrots Now, with
your pencil, rule and paper, work
out a plan whereby all, or most, of
these difficulties will be avoided. Pro-
vide for crops and intercrops, also a
succession OF crops so that the little
garden plat will give maximum re-
suits.

Make a Schedule of Work.

After the garden plan is made, and
you know, or think you know, just
how the garden will look after II is
started, the next step will be to for
mulate a schedule of work providing
for doing things at the proper season
and time This does not mean planting
certain crops at the right time of the
moon. but at the right season and
when all conditions are favorable. The
best gardeners believe that moonshine
is just moonshine, anyway, and that
real sunshine and some other things,
such as fertilizers, good seeds, and
plenty of work, are the essential re-
quirements for growing a good gar
den.
With the lengthening of the days,
it will not be long until work can be
started in the garden. In the mean
time seeds should be procured, a
few tomato and cabbage plants should
be started in window box, and the
first steps should be taken toward
the planting of thrift garden.
All over the country various organ
izations are studying ways and means
