According to the New Standard Dictionary;
"To premeditate means to deliberate upon
and propose previously to the action In
the crime Of murder, premcditate implies
intent before the act; premeditated implies
an interval. however brief between the
formation OF the intent or design and the

The preparation of arms or other IN

A Verse Of Requested soma

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Here is a verse Of the song e. Lowell
asks for:
You never meant the kisses that you gave
me-
I paid with tears for every bit Of Joy;
You made a plaything of my heart--the
heart gave 10 you.
You broke It like child would break
toy.
The love you gave was like a fading flower.
The kind OF love that lasts for bout
day;
But. forgive you, dear, I will. God knows
I love you still.
You broke my heart to pass the time
away.

S'Lce My Mother Died
MRS. c. r. HAYES.
Philadelphia. February 13. 1921.
I'M LONELY SINCE MY MOTHER DIED
I'm lonely since my mother died.
Tho friends and kindred gather near,
cannot check the rising sigh.
Or stay the silent heartfelt tear.
OF earthly friends she was the best.
My erring youthful steps to guide.
o. do not smile because I weep.
I'm lonely since my mother died.
You may not deem II brave or strong
To let these tears so often flow
But those who've lost a mothers love.
Can tell the pain of my sad woe,
Could but call her back again.
And kneel once more down by her side,
I'd love her better than before,
I'm lonely since my mother died.
Oh you who have n mother dear.
Let not a word or act gtvo pain,
But cherish. love her with your life,
You ne'er can have her like again.
Then. when she's called from you away.
Across deaths dark and troubled tide,
In pain. with me. you need not say:
I'm lonely since my mother died,

One of our greatest errors in ven tilation is in maintaining our homes at too high a temperature.
 Sixty-five to 6S degrees Fahrein- | it is about right, instead of 70 to a degrees. which is not uncommon
 With a proper humidity, tempera- cUre of 65 degrees is just as comfort able to sit in as a temperature of 70 degrees with the humidity low.
 When pC Cople get a proper apprecia ton of this fact. they find that it is probably easier to supply the humid ity than to supply the extra coal ne cessary to raise the temperature | degrees throughout the house.
 In the matter of humidity, the great majority of houses disregard this en- tirely. Most indoor air ir far too dry The humidity should he from 50 l. 65 per cent Usually it is from 25 to 35 per cent, or 40 per cent at the most.
 In hot air furnaces the water pan is provided. but it is more freGus ntly empty than full, and is in itself mad '~uate ih any case.
 Hot water and steam systems arc still worse. They have no provision whatever for adding moisture to the air.
 This dryness to the indoor air is responsible for much of the dry, hacking coughs so common in winter and which have been designated as the winter cough. The dry air craves moisture and extracts it from every source available. including our skin and mucous membrane.
 The correction of low humidity IS not an easy problem.
 The water pan of a hot air furnace should be kept filled constantly.
 Plants scattered about the house and kept we'll watered daily help to some extent

Eagle theatre Sunday and Monday.
 It has a double meaning. Sand the sand of the desert, wherein the tory is laid: Sand-the grit of a mans mental and moral and physical makeup.
 And the latter quality is what MT. Hart displays in this picture which brings him to the adoring public once -oorc in a typical western tale, with hcldups, wild riding, love, adventure and excitement as the qualities most prominent in the story.
 Mary Thurman is a delightful lead ing woman. The balance of the cast is excellent and the direction by Lam bet Hillyer, who also wrote the scen- ario. is perfect.
 With such a combination, it IS s"7e 10 say that this picture will afford the most delightful entertainment for those who like rsd-blooded pictures with. plenty of action and plenty ot romance.

"lurs of Ambition,

Lure of Ambition" a super-produC tion in which William Fox presents Theda Bara, is coming to the Lyme theatre today and tomorrow. This is not only Miss Bara's latest photoplay but is said to be one of the most in .ensely interesting of the many sue cesses in which she has been seen.
 The driving power of relentless am bitten is the motive of the story. Miss Bara is seen as Olga Dolan, the heroine, who graduates from the slums to the desk Of hotel Stenog- rapher. and from that position finally becomes the Duchess Of Rutledge af- ter many dramatic vicisSitudes. The central role is so strong that the sto- " was selected as a vehicle for Miss Bara in q scenario competition in which many we'll known books and plays were offered.
 A strong cast of photoplay favor ties is seen in support of Miss Bara Edmund Lawrence directed the pro- duction. Of which he is co-author with Julia Burnham.
