FAT MEN BEST EQUIPPED
FOR HEAT, u. S. LEARNS

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Fat
men stand the heat better than lean
ones the bureau OF mines has es-
tablished through experiments in a
specially constructed chamber at
Pittsburg.
The fat men, the bureau found,
lost more weight when subjected
to uncomfortably hot temperatures,
but they were less exhausted when
they were relieved. In state of
rest and in still air, the experiments
disclosed, the human body cannot
endure indefinitely temperature
higher than 90 per cent relative hui
midity.
Subjects became very uncomfort-
able when the pulse reached 135
pulsations a minute, and unbearable
symptoms appeared at 100 The
highest pulse rate recorded was 1874.

GIRL is BURNED TO
DEATH IN LOVE TRYST
COMPANION ESCAPES FLAMES
AND LANDS IN TOLLS OF
LAW AT DALTON.

DALTON, Ga.-The result OF a
tryst between a girl and young man
that became rendezvous with death,
was told here Tuesday with the body
of the girl Minnie Owens, OF Chats
worth, awaiting burial and with the
man, Butch" Barksdale also Of
Chatsworth, being held on several
charges.
The Owens girl died of burns receiv-
ed in fire that destroyed the home OF
Porter Huffstettler one of the leading
citizens Of that town. Barksda1e, ac-
cording to authorities, was with her
when the fire occurred, but escaped
the house unhurt.
Driving out from Dalton Sunday
evening Barksdale and the girl arrived
lat the Huffstettler house, which they
found empty, the family having been
called to Calhoun by death in the fam
ily. Barksdale, it IS said told police
he went upon the front porch, knock
ed at the door, and finding it unlock
ed opened it and entered when no re-
spouse came. The girl went with him.
Sitting in the darkened house Banks
dale lighted cigarette for smoke
before resuming the journey A lighted
butt, cafelessly thrown against some
draperies, is supposed to have ignited
them and enveloped the room in
flames before the intruders knew what
had happened
Barksdale ran out, but the girl is be-
1ieved to have become bewildered, to
have stumbled into the quickly
mounting flames and her clothing to
have caught fire. Her screams and the
+, light Of the blaze attracted neighbors,
but before they could carry her away
she had been fatally burned.

PLANT TREES ALONG ROADS
Entire Stretch Of Sixty Miles Of PavsA
Highway In New Jersey to %
Bsautihsd.

Bsautfying New jersey highways By
planting shade trees, started years ago
In scattered districts by Individual of.
fsrts, has been given considerable slim
illus by the Endorsement Of the new
state highway commission and wom-
sa's organizations In different counties.
The movement, an outgrowth Of the
wsrid war memorial idea, Il for utility
N well n beauty. The trees will
serve as guard rails along highways
leading to the sea.
Camden county Is given credit for
the most ambitious scheme Of tree
planting. Through the movement, orig
inatDl by women's clubs, the entire
stretch Of 60 miles Of paved highway
from the Delaware river to the Allan
tic o. the White Horse pike route
is to BE- beautified.
At the present time beautiful shaded
highways are to be found In sections
Of Salem and Gloucester counties.
where most Of the trees were planted
more than afty years ago. The plan.
rs favored by the state department OF
forestry. entails cooperation on the
part Of communities and counties In
the systematic planting Of trees.
1t has been suggested that different
kinds of trees be planted on different
highways. Instead Of being identified
by numbers, the state routes eventual
ly might be known as Maple, Elm or
Spruce routes.
Cherry. apple and other fruit trees
have been planted In double rows for
short distances on some Of the roads.
This idea has met with approval by In
dividuals, who say 1t carries out In a
fashion the italian idea Of having
grapes growing along the public ways.
Dogweod has added variety In some
rural sections; and q big land owner
has planted chestnut trees along one
Of the roads.
Road experts say shaded highways
last longer, as the trees protect the
pavement from the deterioration Of in
tense heat in summer and serve as
windbreaks to keep the roads clear Of
snow In winter. Drainage also is I'm
proved, these men say, and the tree
roots prevent water undermining the
hard surfaced Observation-Disclosures
Record.
