Medium IN Trance aids
Hun Cops Capture Slayer

BERLIN, Oct. utilization Of
spiritualistic mediums by the police
Is the latest German method Of run
ming down criminals. 1t was first
employed at Heidelberg, when the
burgomaster of that city was muir
dered, and later in the assassination
of Matthias Erzberger.
The police at Heidelberg had a
spiritualistic medium go into a
trance. The medium then recalled
incidents of the crime and described
the murderers. From the descrip-
ton furnished by the medium the
police were enabled to make arrests
which led TO a solution OF the crime,
A medium at Mannheim was util-
lied in the Erzberger case. She told
Of the shooting, giving details that
were eorroborated by the police and
described the trail taken by the
murderers, She said that they were
at present hiding in Naples.
At the9time of the seance the pO-
lice were working on a clue that the
assassins were in Switzerland. The
two murderers were described either

HOME MAKING HELPS

WHY NOT START a BUILDERS

WHY NOT START a BUILDERS
SCRAPBOOK NOW?
Are you thinking OF building next
spring? You should start a scrap
book for ideas you wish TO have in
corporated in your building plans.
How often we see in another home
q convenience, or an idea. that is
Just what We would like for our own
home, and when we are busy max
ing plans-having failed 10 jot IT
down-we forget it until it is too
late. The scrapbook is a solution OF
the problem.
Though much knowledge may be
gained by searching architects
books and plans. delving in maya
zines and talking with our friends.
there is no way as Illuminating as TO
visit houses under construction of
about the type we expect to build.
This method gives an idea that is
tangible about sizes and the width
OF doOrways and windows. the plac-
ing of heater pipes and radiators,
that one does not realize by just
looking over plans.
Modern builders utilize every bit
of odd space. This is due TO the
fact that every one who builds wants
the best house for the least money
possible in these days Of expensive
building. AS the women Of the
family occupy and use the house
continually, the man spending only
nights and his infrequent daytime
holidays in it, things should be ar
ranged to make the homework as
light and as easy as can be. and the
rest rooms as CHEEKY and bright as
possible.
In one house an odd space, six
feet by 10 feet. was to be an alcove
in an upstair sitting room. 1t was
not really needed-nor was an extra
closet required-so it was square
arched, with a wide sliding door,
and it thus formed an emergency
bedroom for a single bed, and a
small sewing room when not in other
use.
Concrete flooring for back porches
is gaining in popularity, because the
concrete may be easily swept off or
washed down and it also dries
quickly after being wet. Best Of all.
it requires little repairing and no
painting.
A double door in the kitchen
having a convenient space between
is liked by those who have used it.

GARDEN NOTES

Mildew on Rambler roses may be
controlled by busting the plants every
few days with finely powdered sui
phur.
Better cut out and destroy all old
canes of raspbcrrics and blackberries
soon after the fruit is all harvested.
This aids in controlling insects and
diseases and gives one an opportunity
to thin out the new shoots so that
they make better growth and bear
more fruit the next year.
When renewing the old straw
berry bed the tops should be moved
and burned as soon as possible after
the crop is harvested When the
plants arc grown in hills it is inn
portant after cutting tops TO draw a
little fresh soil over and around the
plants TO induce the formation Of new
roots above the old ones. Matted row
plants should be thinned by blowing
or deep cultivation each side of the
rows leaving only narrow row OF
plants. The remaining plants should
then be thinncd by hoeing to stanc
several inches apart in order to leave
fresh soil for the new runner plants
to develop.
When setting late cabbage and Gel
cry plants clip off about one-half OF
the tops to prevent willing and loss

Winter wheat and winter rye har-
vest is general IN the southern coun-

splendid condition.
In the northern counties the show
ars have been scatterd and generally
light, and have fallen mostly along
The lake Michigan shore. Drought
conditions in the interior counties arc

the hay crop is very light, and corn
is beginning TO roll.
Early potatoes are poor; late pota-
