ANCIENT LANDMARK IN
 HAzARDYILLE BURNED
Old Terry Homestead and Two Tobacco Sheds De-
 stroyed by Flames

Hazardyille, Conn. April 2l-Fire destroyed the Asaph Terry home stead two miles north of this village 1 today, and a second fire took two , tobacco sheds in a string of four on the plantation of the Allied To- bacco company, of Hartford across ! lthe street,
 The cause of the homestead fire was not determined but the village authorities hold an opinion that the fire in the tobacco shed was set us sparks from the house, which was first seen to be ablaze, were carried by the wind away from the sheds
 The shed fire also was in the in torior when discovered. The capa- city of the sh, was 12 acres of leaf and lirtnlrn with chemicals saved the other two sheds, no wa ter being available.
 The homestead was built before 1he Revolutionary war and the nails in it were hand-WrouEht, Asaph Terry who died few years ago was E,nlicld's last real son of the Ameri- can Revolution. In carly days the homestead was a landmark in the town of Enfield.
 When the property was sold after Mir. Terry's death it passed to John SChlatz and he and his family, which included eight children, had 10 hurri"dly leave the house after the discovery Of the fire.
 For q time many buildings on the plantation of the Tobacco company were threatened and Thompsonville apparatus was called. Neither it nor tho Hazardville firemcn could do much as the house was outside both fire districts,
 The fire loss was placed nt SlS.0oO of which amount $G,0o0 was on the house.

REDUCTION IN COST OF HOSPITAL TREATMENT
Group Nursing to Cut Expense of Patients at
 Institution

A system of group nursing" which no other hospital in Conhec- ticut has and which will enable ex- pert nurses 10 earn more wages at the same time making residence at the hospital less expensive for the patient, will be put into effect at the New Britain General hospital next month.
 The system gives the patient the advantage of having private nurse, and at a much lower eS- pense than heretofore. The plan means giving an expert graduate nurse two or three patients to take care of instead of one. These would be private patients who would oc- cupy two-bed or three-bed rooms. The nurse would remain in the room and would be able 10 look after both or all three patients with the same satisfaction she could look after one,
 Because Of the additional work she would be paid more wages. but the additional cost would be dis tributed equally among the patients Thus a nurse now costs the patient SC day. If she took care of two patients she would he paid SS a day but each patient would pay only s4
 making a saving Of Sl4 @ week per patient, If the nurse took care of three patients in the room she would be paid sS.5o a day hy each patient giving each patient saving of sl7.50 a week.
 This plan is expected 10 work out
 among single rooms in the same , group also. The local doctors are said 10 favor the project.
 Another innovation planned by lthe hospital is that of post grad luate course for graduate nurses which will start next month. Un- Ider the present system a nurse is a lstudent one day and the day after her graduation. she is turned out aS a full fledged trained nurse. She has Ibecn given all the instruction and practice but lacks the experience and ithe training in responsibility. The new plan or a post graduate course ! is similar to an into, neship for doc tors after they graduate from . medical college. The nurse, If she

Fort Worth, Texas, April 21 LP,- Jack Dempsey put his name on the dotted line today.
 Dempsey signed articles of agree ment here with Tex Rickard to fight a championship bout around Sep tcmber 16 at place and against an opponent to be selected by Rickard.
 Before the ilashlight of camera In the office of Anon G. Carter, pub fisher of the Star-Telegram, Demp- sey and Rickard picked up the pens that wrote the first chapter of the next worlds heavyweight champion ship bout.
 Although the contract drawn up and approved by kenneth Grant, Dempsey's attorney, did not specify the amount Dempsey is to receive as his end of the expected million dollar gate, both principals let it be under stood that Dempsey is to receive $450,00O.
 Waiving aside reports from New York that the New York state athletic commission might revoke his license and put in jeopardy his s5,00O,000 investment in Madison Square Garden, if he should pick Gene Tunney as Dempsey's oppo- nent for New Jersey as the scene of the fight. Rickard reiterated that his choice would be made be- tween the two sites and that Tun- ney would be considered.
 Rickard called attention to the fact that the contract signed here today by Dempsey and himself does not violate the requirements Of the boxing commission.
 Details of the contract were thrashed out in Dempsey's suit at his hotel, in which he was closeted for several hours with Rickard.
