MUST BE DISINFECTED
Passengers from California Have to Walk in Trough of Sawdust Con- taining Anti-Germ Medicines.

Phienix, Ariz., April 26.-After kicking the dust from their shoes on two "disinfection mats" when they de- train in Arizona, railroad passengers from California and Lower California will be required after Monday to walk in a low shallow trough blanketed with sawdust and disinfection fluid to cleanse themselves of possible germs of the foot and mouth disease.
 Trains will not be materially de- layed, as 1t is estimated about 50 pas sengers can finish the process in 10 minutes.
 When the passenger alights, he will leave his hand baggage at the foot of the train steps for fumigation and then proceed to the troughs.
 If any through passengers leave trains in Arizona, they also must so through the trough.
 Disinfection stations will be in op- eration in six towns under the plan set by the health board for prevention of spread of the disease. No lug gage other than hand baggage may be brought into the state when the or ders affecting railroad traffic so into effect next Monday.

WALL STREET STOCK
 EXCHANGE REPORTS

New York, April 26.--(Wall street) Stock prices registered further i'm provement in today's active session. While short covering operations furnished most of the buying power, there were indications that several large traders were again working on the constructive side of the market. The steady rise in U. s. Steel common which crept up to 101 in anticipation of a good quarterly report and favora- ble dividend action, hastened the re- tirement of contracts by so-called amateur shorts. Steel, equipment. oil and motor shares gave the best dem onstrations of group strength, but good buying also was noted in the copers, sugars, tobaccos and shippings, several of which recorded substantial gains. The closing was firm. Sales ap- proximated 50O,0UO shares.

ASK NEW THAW TRIAL
Evelyn Nesbit, Through Her Lawyer. Asking That Former Husband Again Be Put To Sanity Test

Philadelphia, April 26.-Motion for a new trial for Harry k. Thaw, de- clared sane last Tuesday night by a jury, was filed today by William A. Gray. counsel for Evelyn Nesbit, Thaw's divorced wife, in behalf of her thirteen year old son, Russell William Thaw.
 Miss Nesbit's son had been permit ted to intervene in the sanity pro- ceedings because of his anticipatory interest in Thaw's estate. Miss Nes- bit opposed Thaw's release on the ground that he was still insane, and that if released, he might dissipate lis estate.
 In addition to the request for an- other trial, counsel obtained an order granting him five days in which to file specific reasons for retrial.
 The petition for a. second trial sets forth the usual contentious that the verdict of the jury was against the evidence and the weight of the evid- ence, and against the charge of the court,
 Thaw is still confined at the Penn sylvania hospital for mental and nerv- ous diseases pending hearing on the petition.

COMMUNICATED
FROM MARY ANN TO SUSAN.
Her Fella Andy is Going to Teach Her
 Hoy to Drive.
Dear Susan:

Dear Susan:
 My fella Andy borrowed some
 money and took his flivvcr out of the
 hock-shop or wherever 1t was and is
 going to teach me how to drive. He
 says he'll teach me to drive as he
 does, but my family holers, Heaven fOrbidl'
 According to him, car is q costly instrument, and he ought to know as
 he has embarrassed telephone poles,
 and paid damages for the fiivver's and
 his lack Of respect to fences, clothes
 lines, flower beds, and has even re-
 moved the porch steps from per
 fectly innocent bungalow, without the
 owners permission. The only things
 he has respect for are trolley cars and steam rollers. It has been said
 he took driving lessons by mail, but 1 think he took lessons by express, and then some. When the neighbors see and hear him coming down the street they call all their children in the house, lock the doors and go for the cellars (there has been some talk of having cyclone warning signal in stalled on the streeD. His style of driving is as popular as an empty milk bottle in house full of babies The neigh5ors grin when they see that felia of mine out touring in his 1ivver, just as though it were paid for The reason for their grins are that most of them can remember when he used to tour the city in baby carriage.
 He is a happy-g go-lucky fella and doesn't care what happens-as long as it doasn't happen to him. He takes a corner as though he isn't interested whether he makes it or not. When he passes car going in the same di- rection, he drives so close that you can reach out and write your name and address on the side of the car he is passing. l ask him why don't he look where he's going and he'll .an- , sWer, "I do, it's better to look where you're going than 10 gojwhere you're looking" Lots of times he drives the flivver home on Hat tires, which doesn't do the car any good, or the | pocketbook. He got the hivver for a all he has is change. He | says the tlivvar helps to shake down | his lonesomeness, also his liver.
 Last Sunday Andy said if he only i had some gasoline he would take me | out for ride and so l emptied the | gas from the tank on my brothers car | and put it in Andy's flivver, and we | drove to Meriden. On the way back, | we had the time of our lives. There was a four cat quartet, singing and ! bowling, practicing harmony on fish | scale or something, in the middle Of the road. Andy blew the. horn, evi- i dently the cats thought it was anoth- i CT voice added to their quartet and so paid no attention to it. My tella Andy i spread his size elevens all over the brakes. but the brakes didn't hold any more than last weeks pay envelope
