Too Steady Diet
Fails to Win
Brides Divorce

Pittsburgh-Fried tomatoes and GU
cumbers may be relished occasionally
but as steady diet, Mrs. William A.
Gaskell could not thrive on them. so
she brought suit for divorce against
her husband, prominent young man
of Carmichael. Judge Swearingen in
Common Pleas court, who heard the
case, decided that Mrs. Gaskell had
not made out a case, that the grounds
given in her complaint for seeking
a divorce were not sufficient for
granting a decree.
Mrs. Gaskell charged cruel and
barbarous treatment. The couple
were married January 16, 1919, and
lived together only four weeks in the
Hans Peters, arrested on the charge,
testimony the aggrieved wife declared
that the first two weeks with her
husband were not so bad, but that
the last two weeks were more than
she could stand. Her moth-in-law, for
some reason, gave her nothing to eat
but fried tomatoes and cucumbers.
Three times a day the diet was ham
ded out, the young wife declared. Com
plants that they palled on her appe-
tite fell on deaf ears. Fried tomatoes
and cucumbers bobbed up alone at
each meal and she was forced to eat
them or starve.
She also charged her husband with
cruelty, declaring that he had threat
ened to kill her. Gaskell in his own de-
Tense denied her allegations. He
stated that the food served by the
mother was well cooked, substantial
and in variety. Judge SSwearingen in
refusing the decree, stated that fried
tomatoes and cucumbers regularly for
two weeks was no great hardship.

third baseman, was chiefly instrument
tai in defeating the dodgers by his

Faber, White Sox pitchers, who won

twirling.
1918-George Whiteman, veteran
of the minor leagues, who played left
field for the Red Sox, and was the
chief factor in defeating the cubs by
his batting and fielding.
1919-Walter Reuther, Red pitcher,
by his batting, and Eddie Roush, Red
center fielder, by his fielding, were the
big factors in most of the defeats of
the White Sox. Dickie Kerr, White
Sox youngster, pitched his team to two
of it's three victories.

Autumn Leaves and
How to Press Them

Who does not love the beautiful
colors that dot the horizon in the au-
tumn, and who does not love to gather
the brightly colored leaves that blow
from the trees and carry them home
for mother to see?
DO you know the different colors of
the trees in autumn? The naples are
yellow and frey red. The oaks are
red and morocco-red. The beeches
are nut-brown. The grasses turn
straw-yellow and the weeds turn
brown; and each kind of a weed has a
color for it's very own and each plant
has its own color. Surely there is a
wealth of color flooding the autumn
landscape and it is no wonder that
many of you are tempted to preserve
the beautiful leaves that you gather
while on your autumn walks.
When gathering the leaves always
select those that are fully matured.
1t is always best to secure them in
small punches, each bunch to contain
several leaves attached to a small
twig. Be careful not to have the twig
too long or thick or it will interfere
with the pressing. 1t is useful when
collecting the leaves to place them in
a small light box with a close fitting
lid. 1t is also wise to put layer of
damp (not wet) moss or grass in the
bottom of the box to keep the leaves
from drying and curling up. For
drying the leaves old smooth news
popers will do just as well as the most
expensive plotting paper. When ar
ranging the leaves between the news
papers try to place those of the same
thickness together so that there will
be even thickness when the weights
are applied. The weights to press
the leaves may be anything heavy
big books, old soap boxes filled with
stones or sand or earth. The time re-
quired for drying the leaves varies
with the amount of sap they contain
and the dryness of the atmosphere.
After the leaves are dry and pressed,
remove the weights and the leaves
may be prettily mounted so that they
may be indefinitely preserved. Card
board of heavy mounting paper is
good for this purpase, and warm glue
is the most efficient for sticking quail
ties. Tops for blotters, or cover for
books as we'll as book markers and
fancy cards may be made from the
mounted leaves. Try them. They
make very inexpensive and seasonable
gifts; and the leaves are such fun to
collect and press and mount.
