LOWER PRICES FOR TREES
 EXPECTED THIS SEASON
Other States Quarantine New England Greens Which Win Bring
 Down Cost Herr

A scarcity of Christmas trees, which will be felt in Pennsylvania, New York. New Jersey and other Eastern states this Christmas will result prob ably in a larger number Of trees at a possibly lower price in New England. according to the feeling at the state forestry department in Hartford.
 There is a federal quarantine against shipping evergreens and evergreen trees from New England to any other state. because of the prevalence Of the gypsy moth and this will affect the market because in the other eastern states. Heretofore New England has supplied Christmas trees and yuletide greens to the eastern states almost ex- clusively. This year the states men, tioned will have 10 get what trees are used from the lake states which will mean more expense and fewer trees.

SAY MOTHERS-IN.LAW BREAK UP MANY HOMES
IN. Y. Legal Aid Society Blames Them for
 Much Trouble

New York, Dec. Mothprs-in- law break ap more homes than any other influence in present day Amori- can life, officials Of the Legal Aid so- ciety, today asserted. The traditional mother-in-law joke, they said, was organizations 47 years of service to New York's poor.
 "Mothers-in-law are responsible for most Of the thousands or domestic difficulty casrs which have come to the Legal Aid society fin recent years" Leonard McGec. attorney for the so- ciety, said. There are three req sons for this mothcr-in-iaw complex, acording to our statistics. First, no mother thinks any other woman's child is good enough for her own: second. a mother frequently sees in the mar riagc of her child the thwarting of her own plans and ambitions: and third, where the boy or girl has been d age-earner, the mother dislikcs sharing her accustomed income with another.
 These 'mother-in-law cases' pre- dominate in our domestic relations HoIh. NdtufdIlsf dfbtT tue HFhI tllL with her husband. a young wife goes to her mother for sympathy and counsel. Usually she gets both. The mothers influence sways the girl and, as the advice given is not always as helpful or intelligent as 1t might be, there are many broken homes in con- sequence.
 "A mother-in-law seldom interferes where her son is involved, but when it comes to the daughters if is quite a different story. Fathers-in-law do not enter the equation tery much. They are usually not wndictiye. and more often than not syrnpathize with the young people and take the atti- tude Of Let 'em along and it will all come out right"

No Mystery About Zimm.H mans Death, Police
 Authorities Declare

Indications of mysterious cireum-
 stances in connection with the death of Frederick W. Zimmerman, of 46
 Walnut street. who was killed by a
 passenger train near the Cremo brew
 cry Saturday night, are not taken
 seriously by the police, who believe the dead man was drunk. Thinner
 man who was in his automobile was killed almost instantly shortly before
 II o'clock when train No. S5, bound
 for New York, struck him about 800 feet north of the brewery.
 Zimmerman drove his car to the end of Belden street and then appar- ently became bewildered and turned off into the empty lot or swamp to the left. Wheel marks in the vicinity in-
 dicate that several time he ran into a
 four foot bank, and backed off, final
 ly climbing the bank and driving one
 wheel over the car tracks. When the train came along he was on a south
 bound trick, with the right front
 wheel over a rail which stands a full 10 inches from the road bed and was unable to extricate himself from his position.
 The crash completely demolished the car and carried portions of it al- most 1000 feet away before the train could be stopped, Zimmerman was thrown about 90 feet.
 The only eye witness to the aeci. dent, Henry r. Baker. of li5 Strat- ford road, immediately notified the police department and the police ann bulance was sent to the scene. Life was still existent in the injured man as he was picked up by the train crew but he died on the stretcher before the ambulance arrived.
 Belden street comes 10 a blind end at the Cremo brewery but there is nothing to prevent car from being driven onto the track, except the height Of the rails. At the spot where the accident occurred the tracks are on top of a four foot bank,
 Zimmerman drove to the end of the street. stopping just before he reached the railroad and turned o to the left driving about 300 fer, through tine swampy ground and the einder bank to the railroad tracns.
 1t was shortly after 10 o'clock when he drove past the brewery ac- cording 10 Henry s. Carlson Of % Carlson street. night watchman. and rom that time until the arrival Of inc !
