SUDBURY, Ontario, october 5.-An
attemps to remove discarded radio
aerial wire from a power line carrying
1000 volts caused the death of man
and wife while neighbors looked help
lessly on.
Frank Gervaerts was returning from
work when he saw his wife attempting
to remove the suffering wire with
mop handle He ran from his car
seized the stick and just as his wife
warned him that the wire was alive 1t
dangled off the mop handle and twisted
around his wrist He fell to the ground
with the wire still around him, while
his wife threw her arms about him and
received the full force of the electric
charge.
The wire had been tossed aside by
carpenters who had been Singing the
roof. One end of it had caught on the
power line, but its precarious posi-
ton was not noticed until evening when
the street lights were switched on.
After almost five minutes the wire
was removed from the PROSTATE couple
By Herbert Murray, neighbor, with the
aid of a wooden sweater. Physicians
worked in vain for two hours over the
couple. An 8-months-old baby survives

TRACE STORY OF MATCH.
Exhibits in London Show Mans
Struggle for Fire.

In East London there is little-known
museum devoted to the history of mans
struggle down the ages for light and
heat There are many specimens of i'm
plements of the early times used for the
purpose of obtaining fire. Special atten-
ton seems to have been given to the
subject of matches
BY 1884 the 'Lucifers" and Con-
greves," which were the first phosphorus
matches, were in common use, to be fol-
lowed later by "Fuzees," 'Vestas,"
''Vesuvians" and "Safeties." They had
many disadvantages. A strong sun or a
sudden blow would be liable to ignite
the box. More than one label in the
museum warned purchasers that owing
to the poisonous fumes. no one with
weak lungs should strike the matchesl

ADDS
TO HEALTH OF TREES


GAINESVILLE, Fla Dec. i3.-F)
-Inter-archinz, a new theory in tree
surgery. is taking a prominent part
in the care of citrus groves. It y
said to double the life OF the tree hy
putting it on a new foundation, and
to be a great aid in overcoming root
rot which formerly exacted heavy
toll.
The process is declared to be as
simple as grating and budding. The
bark Of the tree Is split similar 70
the slit used in grating. One end
OF the seeding bough is fastened
into the groove with a tack after the
root end has been buried in the
ground. The tree skin then Is fast
ened around the new joint and the
root-end watered until II spreads
sufficiently to absorb moisture from
the earth.
In a short time the tree has an en-
tirely new set Of roots and after a
few years the tree trunk will grow
entirely round its new support.

HERALD GETS
news BY Way
OF PRINTERS
Automatic Machines to
Spe ed Happenings
OF World to Valley
Subscribers

Combining the service Of The As
sociated Press, the greatest news
gathering agency in the world, with
the automatic printing telegraph ma
chine, the latest invention for rapid
communication, The Brownsville
Herald, Monday morning will begin
giving TO its readers an unexcelled
news service.
The Herald has been for many
years member Of the Associated
Press and the new automatic ma
chimes have been installed in the
editorial rooms and are now being
given final tests in preparation for
lnaugurating the regular service
Monday morning.
The public will be welcome in the
editorial rooms TO see the printers at
work.
The automatic printer has a carry
capacity of 2,400 words an hour and
will deliver to member newspapers
the greatest volume of state, country
and world news that can be carried
over n single circuit. The automatic
printer used by The Associated Press
is one of the most noteworthy devel-
opments in the field of telegraphic
transmission in many years.
A single printer circuit will deliver
into a newspaper office a minimum Of
10000 words OF news in eight hours.
Perfection Of the automatic circuit
has grown from experiments which
The Associated Press began many
years ago. From the rather crude
mechanism that was used at that
time has been developed a machine
that resembles a standard typewriter
IL is controlled by electrical impulses
which are set in motion by an oper-
ator at the distant filing point. The
impulses form letters which become
pages and then reams OF news dis
patches from which the newspaper
selects many thousands of words TO
publish for its readers.
One thousand OF these machines
are now in operation throughout the
country.
Since its practicability was proven,
the use of the automatic printer in
distributing the news report Of The
Associated Press has expanded rapid
ly. The trunk circuits, or main chan

Hickman Case to
Test Sanity Law

Los ANGELES. Calf, Jan. e.
R)-A eomplets tryout Of califor-
Mas new laws governing insanity
as a defense in criminal cases an
parently will be involved in the
trials OF William Edward Hickman
on the two murder indictments
which he faces here.
The l9-year-old youth five dayn
ago pleaded mot guilty BY reason
Of insanity" TO charges Of kidnap-
ing and staying little Marian Par
ker. Yesterday within n few hours
OF his indictment together with his
l6-year-old accomplice, Weiby Hunt,
for the murder of @. Ivy Thoms, IN
= drug store holdup, he entered the
alternative plea OF the new and lit
tie tested California law-"not
guilty and not guilty by reason Of
insanity"
So little used has been the new
law-Hickman's being the first case
IN Los Angeles county-that court
attendants were confused hy the
new plea and IL first was reported
as the same m that entered 10 the
Marian Parker murder charge. The
confusion was increased by the fact
that on his arraignment Hickman
first started 10 state his plea. When
the defendant himself became in
volved in the legal phraseoloRy, his
attorney stepped forward and asked
the court 70 permit him 70 plead for
his client.
The difficulty was atraiEhtened
out when Richard Contillon, Hick-
mans Los Angeles attorney, re-
stated for newspaper men the plea
entered.

boulevards in South Texas.
Efforts will be made to have the
Missouri Pacific construct an under
ground crossing at the point where
the Piper spur crosses the poule-
ward. Members OF the city commits
sion pointed out that the traffic
over the boulevard will be heavy
and that a crossing OF this kind will
assure safety.
Bids on the paving OF approxi-
mately nine blocks, including prac-
tieally all that area between Four
teenth street and the post wall with
Monroe street as its northern boun-
dary. were approved.
Bert VI. Cromaek appeared before
the commission with the suggestion
that Fourteenth street be widened 10
40 feet, and stated that a number
OF the property owners had approved
the plan. Contract has been let for
the paving Of this street the present
width OF % feet, and Thirteenth
street will also be paved through 10
