Glen Acres Woman
Takes Own Life

Melancholia, the result of several
years of Ill health, is the reason
ascribed to the death of Mrs. Ida
Mary Nepage, of Glen Acres, who
committed suicide at $50 last Mon
day morning.
Returning to the house after short
absence, her husband, E. r. Nepage
was Mortified to find his wife, still
breathing, lying across the bed. She
died in few minutes, before help
could be summoned. A SO caliber
Colt revolver by her side told OF what
had occurred. A note addressed to
her husband was found on the dresser,
which explained her reason for ending
life that had become unbearable.
Mr.. Nepage, who had realized for
some time that his wife had con-
templated suicide, had supposedly
hidden the gun with which she ended
her life. He had watched her care
fully, had attempted to divert her
mind, leaving her only at short in
tervals. In poor health himself he
was Frustrated by the shock of find
ing her dying.
The body was taken on an after
noon boat to an undertaking establish
ment in the University district. Ser
vices were held, following by crema-
ton.

New Hybrid Lily
Produced Here

Local flower lovers are much inter-
csted In the news that on vashon Is
land there has been produced new
hybrid lily, 1t was given to Stephen
]. Harmeling, dean of Vashon Island
flower fanciers, to produce this new
hybrid, an accomplishment realized by
few. Although in his 82nd year, Mr.,
Harmeling is mentally and physically
as robust as many years younger, He
views the production of this beautiful
new lily as the browning event of his
life, and is deeply thankful that he
has lived to see hope blossom into
a beautiful reality. Every true student
Of flowers hopes to some day produce
hybrid that is really distinct, and
Mr.. Harmcling has done that very
thing. He is receiving congratulations
from far and near. DR.. Griffith will
probably make trip from the ex-
pertinent farm at Bellingham for the
express purpose Of seeing the two
dainty blossoms, now the center of
interest in the Harmeling gardens.
Four years ago Mr., Harmeling
-pollinated the native Column
bianum with pollen from the Mt,
Hood or Washingtonianum He also
at this time pollinated the Washing
tonianum with pollen from the
Columbianum. Among the Seeding
Columbianums pollenized with Mt.
Hood pollen there was not single
variation. But Washington a mum
seedlings, pollenized with Column
bianum pollen there is one among the
hundreds, that is a true hybrid, a
$3.50 cross. The color Is a light
lavender with red anthers and ~ dash
Of filny yellow in the throat. The
petals are recurved at an angle of 80
degrees, are OF broader and of better
substance than in either parent, and
full of maroon spots. Mr.. Harmeling
says that nowhere in the world is
there lily like it.
This is truly wonderful accomp-
lishment and rich reward for patient
and perservering work and four years
Of waiting. There are very few worthy
lilies in the world, probably not more
than dozen, though thousands of
skilled and amateur gardeners are all
the time tying to produce new lilies.
1t would seem that the lily genus or
family considers itself so immaculate
ly pure and beautiful that it resents
the interference of man to change
types and colors. Probably not one il,
ten million trials results in breakup
of a species and the producing of q
lily superior to either of the parents
The oldest hybrid known is the Nan
keen or Testaceum, which is supposed
to be a cross between the Chalcedon-
ium, scarlet lily and the Candidunl
or Madonna, a white lily.
We trust Mr.. Harmeling will leave
the naming Of this beautiful child OF
his creation to the Vashon Island
Lily Association and that "Vashon'
will be the ultimate choice.

PITT COACH DETERMINED TEAM
WILL NOT BE OVER CONFIDENT

against Washington State in 1916
when the Rose Bowl series was in
augurated. Washington State won
IA to 0.
Pete Stinchcomb, Ohio States
halfback, was another great star,
who failed to go places at Pasadena.
His team was beaten % to 0 by
California while Harold (Brick
Muller, then unrecognized except
on the coast, played one of the best
end games ever seen in this section.
The next year, as an all-Ameri-
can, Muller did very very little
while little Washington and Jeffer-
son held California to scoreless
tie. One of the exceptions that
helps prove the rule was Puss
Stcinm, w. and j. tackle. He was
an all-American and his play that
day still brings out columns of rem
iniscences.
Ncvers Made Good
Another all-American who lived
up to his reputation at Rose Bowl
was Ernie Nevers, of Stanford, and
he did it while his team was losing,
10 to 81, to Notre Dame.
Sutherland's move probably signi-
fies only a strategy to prevent any
head swelling on his Pitt team.
There were reports after the South
ern California slaughter in 1880
that Pitts all-Americans were too
fat-heated over their laurels to
play their best game and that their
teammates weren't too desirous OF
helping them along.
The Panthers were to go through
brief workout here today and
then will leave for Pasadena to-
night, arriving there tomorrow
morning.
Southern California was sched-
uled for a short workout at Rose
Bowl
Sutherland announced his regu-
lar starting lineup of Skladany and
Daily at ends, Walton and Cuba at
tackles, Onder and Hartwig at
guard, Tormey at center, Hogan at
quarter, Heller and Sebastian at
halves, and Weinstein at full.
Coach Howard Jones said he in
tended to start the same team that
opened against Notre Dame, with
Sparkling and Palmer at ends, Brown
and Smith at tackles. Stevens and
Rosenberg at guards, Youell at
center, Griffith at quarter, Bright
and Erskine at halves, and Clark
at fullback. When Warburton goes
in at quarter, Griffith will go back
to full.

Tablet To Mark Last
Battle OF Ciuil War

BROWNSVILLE. Tex, Dec. 81.
U.P)-A tablet will be dedicated
soon to mark the spot where ar
mics of the Union and Confederacy
met in battle for the last time
five weeks after Lee surrendered in
Virginia.
The granite memorial was erect
ed on the battlefield, IA miles from
Brownsville in the direction of the
Rio Grande, where the rival armies
fought May 13, 1865. Some his
torians contend both sides knew the
war was over and fought merely
for possession of some cotton.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 81. U.P)-
Jock Sutherland's ruling that di-
plomas emblematic of all-American
rating be withheld from two of his
Pitt players until after the Mon
day game with Southern California
recalls the difficulties all-American
stars usually have had in the an
nual Tournament of Roses meet
ing.
The Pitt coach has especially vivid
memories along this line for his
team that took a AZ to IA lacing
in 1880 had no less than five men
who placed on first, second and
third all-American selections.
Warren Heller, halfback, and Joe
Skladany, end, we're the two who
were to have been presented with
their diplomas before the Pasadena
Rose Bowl contest Monday. Suth-
erland asked that they be upheld
until "the boys win them in the
game"
Uansa, Parkinson, Montgomery
and Donchess were four of the
brightest of Pitt stars of the 1929
season yet they were almost help
less against a Southern California
team that did not sport men with
regulations equal to the Panthers
The Al to IA score that resulted was
the most crushing defeat a team
ever was given in a tournamen:
meeting.
The list of all-Americans who
failed in the New Years day con-
test is long, starting with Fit2

SHRINE GAME
TEAMS NAMED
BY JAMES O'BRIEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 81. U.P)
Tentative lineups for the Shrine's
annual east-west gridiron classic
Monday were chosen today from
the two-score outstanding 1882 COL
lege stars selected to participate il
the intersectional contest.
Chances for ideal weather when
the two all-star elevens face in
Kezar stadium appeared poor to-
day, the weather bureau said. Rain
| is likely. A ticket sale exceeding
$4,000 was anticipated, assuring a
good sized fund for the benefit of
the Shrine's hospital for crippled
children in San Francisco.
The east team, recruited from
colleges east of the Mississippi riy-
er, boasts a galaxy of all-hmerican
talent. In their starting selections
Coaches Andy Kerr of Colgate and
Dick Hanley of Northwestern en-
deavored to assemble weight and
power to cope with the lack of
poundage in the casts line.
Coaches Dana Bible of Nebraska
and Grin Hollingbery of Washing
ton State, mentors of the VESTS
aggregation, have concentrated on
developing a weighty power attack.
They are assured of forward wall
averaging 1913 pounds per man and
most of their backfield men are
of the hard-driving, hefty type.
With Harry Newman of Micli-
gan, Gill Berry of Illinois and Pug
Rentner of Northwestern in the
backfield, the east will possess the
nations premier forward passing
artists. And having Paul Moss,
Purdue's all-American end. and Jose
Martinez -Vorilla, Cornell's Mexican
star. at each end of the line. they
also boast two of the leading pass
receivers.
This array of talent makes 1t OBJ
vious the contest will revolve into
a battle to determine whether a
high class aerial attack is more
potent than weighty, hard driv-
ing running attack.
Both teams were to wind up train
ing activities today and move into
San Francisco hotels to await game
time. The west, training at the
University of California in Berkeley,
came through the To-day period
without injuries. Coaches Kerr and
Hanley were not so fortunate. New
man still favors sore ankle Bob
Hill, Colgate guard, Roy Horst
mann, Purdue fullback, and Rent
ner received bruises but were re-
ported recovering today.
