PREDICTS FLASHING OF
PICTURES TO MARS

Cincinnati, March 1S.-That pic
lures as we'll as words may be flash
ed to other planets is the hope eX-
pressed by Miss Annette Covington
Cincinnati artist. direct descendant
of Robert Fulton, builder of the first
steamboat.
Puzzled over the theory that actual
signals are possible, Miss Covington
believes that communication with
other worlds will come if long and
short flash has been observed.
"In time, we might even show the
Maratians a picture of an earth city"
said Miss Covington.
"Of course l am still skeptical
about being able to get the first COM
munication, but, once that is accom-
plished, the rest should be less diff
cult"
Miss Covington is a granddaughter
of the late Samuel Fulton Chase, who
was first president of the Cincinnati
Chamber of Commerce.

BEARS DESCEND ON
NEW JERSEY VILLAGES

Pearl River, N. Y, March 12--
Leo Hesse, the village butcher, saw
bear tracks in the snow on the out
skirts of Montvale, N. j., just across
the state line. Hesse followed the
tracks to the home of Edward Serrel
and there telephoned to everybody
about the country to be on the look
out for bears.
Mr.. Hesse himself saw the bears,
two of them, after he left the Serrel
home, but they were half mile away
and he did not consider it necessary
to try to catch up with them. Half a
dozen men armed with rifles traced
the bears to the home of Mrs. Laura
Hollis in Pearl River. Mrs. Hollis said
she had seen them, but thought they
were stray dogs and drove them
away 1t was reported the animals
had killed several calves near Allen

SLAYER AYERS He
KILLED IN SLEEP
Michigan Man Remembers
Nothing Regarding
Wife's Death

Pontiac, Mich March 13-"My
wife kissed me and went to sleep
on my arm. The next thing | re-
member | was walking on the rail-
road tracks and knew that had kill
ed her"
This is the amazing statement
made to the police by c. L. Carmen.
90, who is in Jail here charged with
the murder of his wife, who was
found slain in bed in her home In
Pontiac. The \ circumstances sur
rounding the crime are the most
curious that have confronted the au-
thorities here in years.
Carmen, who told the officers that
he worshipped his wife, asserted that
he suffered loss of memory during
which time he could remember moth
ing that took place.
He regained his memory, he said,
ana found himself fully dressed walk
ing from his home down the railroad
tracks toward the, city. He gave him"
self up to the first policeman he met,
and at his request both returned to
the home, where they found the body
of the murdered woman, her head
crushed and a bloodstained AXE
standing beside the bed. Indications
were that the woman had given no
struggle.
81 loved my wife," Cannon told the
officers. "She was a good womah
very considerate and dutiful. We had
no trouble. She was previously mar
ried and had a hard time and tried
to make up to her for her unhappi'
ness. We did not quarrel"
Great beads of perspiration poured
down Garmon's face as he told his
story. He appeared to be under 9
great strain. As result of train
wreck two years ago one arm, part
of a foot were lost and he has since
been forced to wear silver plate II
his skull to cover fracture. He told
the officers that of late his head both
cred him a great deal and he did moi

Naturalists tell us that when a
swarm of bees needs wax to build
new combs a delegation of workers
gorge themselves and cling together
in a dense mass, suspended from
some point overhead. Within "a
hours wax begins to ooze from the
wax-plates on their abdomens, being
secreted by glands near the plates.
These plates, ON the under surface Of
the abdomen, can be viewed readily

Making wax is harder work for the

State Board of Charities and Correc-

TO the cases of the eleven children

the Kentucky Children's Home Socie-

Louisville, from any blame in connec-

citizens might proudly boast at home

fortunate class of our own people.

1.-THE institution has passed now
into the hands of a management

Cooper thus wrote the fret trans Mis-

much a western character in fiction as
