CHICAGO, May 3l.-The death toll
of the bloody riot near the South Chi
cago plant of the Republic Steel Corp.
mounted to five today as strikers,
company officials and police declared
a temporary truce.
Joseph Rothmand. 40, succumbed
of bullet wounds at the Bridewell Hos
pital. The other known victim was
Earl Hanley, 40 who died of skull
fracture. Three others slain in the
battle remained unidentified.
At least 88 others, including % po-
licemen, were in hospitals with gun
shot wounds, fractured skulls or
broken limbs.
500 Shots Declared Fired.
witnesses estimated more than 500
shots were fired in the course of vi
cious hand-to- hand combat which a
physician said resembled "a virtual
massacre"
The participants, including many
women, used clubs, brickbats. steel
bolts and slingshots, in their attempt
to break through police lines and
close the Republic plant by force.
A police detail Of IS stood guard
around the Republic plant today,
although no further trouble was an
ticipated pending the outcome of a
second conference tonight of Gov.
Henry Horner and representatives of
the company and the strikers.
A small group of pickets, driven
from the vicinity by police last night,
were back at their posts near the plant
gates. Authorities said they would
not be interfered with so long as
'peaceful' picketing continued. In
side the plant 1,4oo workers remained
at their posts.
Governor Gives Assurance.
Gov. Homer, who called hasty
conference of police heads, company
representatives and strike leaders aft
er the battle, said early today he was
quite sure there would be no fur
ther bloodshed.
Although the Governor declined to
disclose further details, union rep
resenta tive who asked that his name
be withheld said an understanding"
had been reached whereby police and
strikers would take no further action
pending the outcome Of tonight's con-
ference.
When the rioters left a union mass
meeting and headed for the Pepublic
plant at South Chicago, police warned
them that the companys property
rights would be protected. Unable to
halt the rush, officers swung their
clubs, but to no avail. They were out
numbered five to one.
Guns Brought Into Play.

Children and ROadsideS

From the National Council for Pro-
lection of Roadside Beauty, comes the
suggestion that roadside problems will
be solved by the next generation if
every club strives to reach the high
school students of its vicinity. No
better project could be undertaken
than to place a good speaker with
slides before the schools, showing
well-planted roadsides as compared
with the disfigured, neglected ones.
After the subject has been present
ed to the school, it is suggested that
small prizes be awarded for the best
essay on How to Keep Our High
ways Beautiful Each club should
furnish its school library with refer
ence material. This can be secured
from the National Council for Protec-
ton of Roadside Beauty. The same
type of contest can be conducted for
the best poster or miniature model IL
Illustrating the roadside beautiful.

from scraps and odds and ends at
almost no expense and at no cost to
taxpayers.
Standards for the children's swings
are pieces of steel work from the old
Washington Avenue bridge in Iowa
Falls and chains for the swings were
taken from the sides of trucks.
Posts which border the driveway
are the best parts of discarded guard
rails, and picnic tables were made
from scraps.
Almost everyone has been sympa-
thetic toward the project and has
been willing to lend a hand. Biggest
piece Of luck came from old dame Ma
ture herself.
When the state declined to approve
water from a well in the park, Logs
don borrowed a well driller and sunk
an SO-foOt shaft-still without expense
to the state. When he was thru he
found he had tapped vein that sup
piled water for a remarkably fine
flowing we'll.
So pleased was LogsdOn that he paid
for a few loads of rock to construct
rough stone wall from which the
cold water flows in a strong endless
stream. At the top of the wall he
has planted a flower bed.
Approximately 60 trees, the greatest
number of them oaks which started
on the ground by themselves, 20 rose
bushes, and other shrubs in a few
seasons will make the park a place
of great beauty. The South Fork
flowing along the edge of the park,
situated in a beautiful natural valley,
adds to the possibilities for develop
ment.
Logsdon has been assisted in de-
velopment of the park by his crew
of men who have cheerfully helped.
The park is situated on ground ac-
quired by the state when it straight
ened the stream at the time the high
way was constructed. AS left after
the course of the stream was cor
rected, the ground was unsightly and
covered with stumps.
With its moved grass, flowing we'll,
fireplace, and picnic table, and play
ground equipment, the park is a great
attraction for motorists, and since its
development was started last year,
cars from almost every state have
been observed in it.
The trees, shrubs, flowers, stream,
and natural beauty of the place give
it almost unlimited possibilities. If
funds are made available, it's develop
ment can be swifter.
But LOgsdOn's dream is that with
his park, the only one of it's kind in
the state, as an example, a whole
system of small picnic areas along the
highways of Iowa may be developed.

Roadside Beautifica alton Hint

When Len Logsdon of Iowa Falls,
Iowa, conceived the idea that a piece
of waste land would make a fine park,
the fact that no funds were available
did not discourage him.
Instead Logsdon, Hardin county
maintenance foreman for the state
highway commission, last year almost
single handed pitched into the work
of developing the park, an eight acre
piece on the west side of Highway
IS eight miles south of Iowa Falls.
Already, still without the aid of
money, he has created an area that
is attracting hundreds of motorists to
stop for picnics. His park might be-
come the model for a state system.

glass garden for indoor decoration.
Select a clear-glass fish bowl with q
comparatively small opening, using
any size desired. Then purchase
from your florist few small plants
of suitable sizes. (They will seem
much larger when you insert them
in the bowl.) A few pieces of broken
stone in the bottom of the cOntainer
is covered with a layer of gravel,
and above this is placed a layer of
garden soil. A few bits of charcoal
will keep the soil sweet. Only one
third of the depth of the bowl should
now be occupied. Then carefully
plant your little garden, pressing the
plants in firmly and inserting small
rocks about them to give a natural
effect. Strawberry Begonias, African
Violets, Partridgeberry, Fitonia, min
iature Ferns, etc., lend themselves to
this use. A glass cover for the OPEN
ing is used. 1t must be removed
when there is considerable conden-
sation of moisture on the inside of the
bowl. If the soil is moist at the time
of planting, probably the glass garden
will never need watering. If it ap-
pears dry, however, water very spar
ingly without wetting the leaves of
the plants, and then cover tightly un-
til condensation occurs.
