GULF OF MEXICO is
HIGHER THAN ATLANTIC

A careful measurement made BY
the U. s. coast and geodetic survey
shows that the level Of the water In
the Gulf of Mexico on the west coast
of the peninsula OF Florida averages
nine-tenths Of foot higher than the
level of the water in the Atlantic
on the east coast. This difference OF
level. which apparently results from
the surplus water received through
the Yucatan channel driven into the
Gulf by equatorial currents from the
east is believed 20 be responsible
for the out-fiewiGg current of the
Gull stream.

FATHER HANDLES
WOODHOUSE WEALTH
Douglas WOodhouse Not Consulted
About Turning Fortune Over to
Elder W0OdhouSe.

BURLINGTON. Nov. 14-Arthur w.
Hill, assistant cashier of the Merchants
National Bank, admitted on the witness
stand in the Chittenden county court yes
terday afternoon that Douglas Wood
house was not consulted when his fortune
of 500, 900, which was in Hills keeping
at the bank, was turned over 20 young
Woodhouse's father, Lorenzo T.. Wood
house.
The latter. who is president of the
bank, and his wife. Mary Kennedy
Woodhouse, are being sued Tor Sl,0O0.00O
by their sons wife, Mrs. Dorrit Stevens
Woodhouse, for the alleged alienation of
Douglass affections. The plaintiff al
leges that they controlled her husband, 5
funds and did not provide him with suf-
ficient money to support her and that
they also used their own wealth and IN
fiuence TO persuade him 70 leave her.
In answer to the questions of Mrs.
WOodhouse's attorney, he said that he
had received compensation aside from
his salary for the bank, for performing
some outside services Tor the wood
house family.
During the greater part of Yesterday 5
session however, he was called on to
read from the records of the bank show
ing the personal special investment ac-
CONT of Lorenzo Woodhouse. Evil
dence was sought by the plaintiffs coun-
sci to indicate to the jury the great
wealth of the defendant, who Is reputed
to be the richest man in Vermont.
Reading of these records failed TO
show the total financial resources of the
millionaire bank president, although they
recorded that his personal account for in
vestments often had a monthly balance
exceeding $4,000. and his daily eXpendl-
lures frequently were in thousands.
Atty. Warren r. Austin, counsel for
the younger Mrs. Woodhouse. said Eester-
day that he expected to complete hrs
clients case in three days. 1t IL expected
that Dorrit will take the stand as the
final witness.
Dispositions supporting her allegations
also will be read. One of these IS from

to have become engaged while still mar

IRISH IRREGULARS
STILL TROUBLESOME
Increase Activities Against Free State
Government to Influence British
Elections

DUBLIN. Nov Il (AssOciated Press
The current increase of activity of
armed forces opposing the Irish gov
eminent is attributed to reunion of the
political and military wings of Repub-
licansm. This, among other things, re-
DE Valera, as president of the Irish
Republic with a council of state claim
ing sole legitimate authority in Ireland.
There is a wide divergence between
the accounts published by the govern
ment of it's successes against the Irreg-
ulars and those put out by De Valera 5
party The government claims to be
winning and gradually restoring order,
while De Ealera's followers record Sc
we're losses they are inficting and assert
that the Free State is already beaten.
These assertions are made partly in
propaganda sold upon the streets and
partly through large inscriptions painted
nightly all over Dublin on lamp posts,
bin boards and bridges.
The civil guard and the metropolitan
police pace up and down all the thor
oughfares. but they seem unable to check
these manifestations of Ireland's inter
nal dissension.
Every day government agents go about
and smear paint solidly over the inscrip-
tions but the next morning they appear
again
The intensifcation of activity by the
irregulars Is supposed to be partially
aimed at the British political crisis with
the design of bringing home to the Brit
ish the thought that the Irish question
remains unsettled despite the treaty.
When the new British parliament assem-
bles and the constitution of the Free
State is submitted for ratification. il is
anticipated that the activities of the IT.
regulars viii be further intensified.

WINTER BLOOMING BULRs.
Plants that May be Grown to Brighter
A Home.

OF all the bulbs for winter bloom in
the house, the paperwhite narcissus is
the easiest for the amateur to grow. 1t
will come to flower in four or FIVE weeks,
needing only to ba set among pebbles in
water and placed near the light. The
American price this year is - cents a
dozen, and three in Il bowl makes q
beautiful cluster.
The Chinese sacreu lilies are cult
waited IN the same way. set in a bowl
with -ust enough stones TO keep them
IL position. However, as they do not re-
qulre drainage, they can be grown, if
preferred, in sand or the bulb fibre which
IS now used for this kind of bulb culture.
Started early in October, they should
be III bloom by New Years day. Plant
ings at intervals of several weeks viii
insure succession.
Next for ease of culture and p0pu-
larity Games the Dutch hyacinth. They
can be placed in any kind of old pickle
bottle or jelly glass that has been filed
with water to within a quarter of an
inch of the bottom of the bulb. The wa
ter should not touch the bulb lest rotting
takes place. Add a piece of charcoal TO
keep the water sweet. and set away the
bottle or glass in q cool. dark place until
the roots, which are soon drawn down in
to the water, fill the glass and top growth
shows. Then the bulbs can be brought
out gradually into the light, but not ut
first into bright sunshine. After the
throat of the bulb has opened wide
enough let the leaves and flower stalk
make good start. bring the plant to the
sunny window of a warfn room. Early
blooming varieties should be selected for
this forcing, and can be bought this sea
son for as little as S1.50 dozen. The
Gertrude (pinkl, B'Innocence twhite, }
and King of the Blues are among the
best.
To grow in pots. use good soil and
plant any time up to December. Set one
bulb to each four-inch pot or several "a
a larger size, and have the top of the
bulb reach just to the surface. Water
thoroughly and set the pots in a cool GET
lar or outside in a trench covered with
ashes or litter. Do not allow them Il
dry out, and give them - weeks for tho
development of the roots, ON lifting
them out keep in a low temperature
tabout 30 degreesl for the first tive
weeks. and then bring them gradually
into warm sunny room Care in al
these details win be rewarded win full
lovely spikes.
Early tulips, both double and single
are probably next in favor. They ar,
easily forced in soil like that suitabl,
TO the hyacinths, aud require about tht
same time to develop. Cottage Mait
