White Horse of Hanover
Used for Battle Emblem

All cavalry flags are crimson.
says a writer in Pearson's London
Weekly. Dragon guards carry
square standards, dragons pointed
flags called guidons. A white horse
appears on all. 1t is the White
/ Horse Of Hanover, to show that
these regiments saved the Hanover
ian Succession by defeating the Stu
art rebellions in IT'S and 1745.
The first white horse standards
were carried into our country by
the Anglo-Saxon invaders, about 400
years after Christ. A white horse
was their battle. emblem.
You can still see it carved in the
Berkshire Downs above Ellington
Vale to mark the site of one of
their victories over the Danes.
Their principal chieftains called
themselves after it, Hengist (steed)
and Horsa horse). The Kingdom Of
Hanover covered the land Of the
ancient Saxons, so their white horse
became the emblem OF the dano-
verian kings.
Lancer and Hussar regiments
have no colors. Their battle honors
are emblazoned on the saddle cloth
instead. They have appeared here,
as on flags, ever since the PENN
sular war. No battle before Minden
(1759) was recorded on them at
first, but the rule relaxed with the
years and battle honors now 60 back
to the end of the Seventeenth GEN.
fury.
The colors have ceased to be car
ried in battle. British regiments
last carried their standards into &C
ton against the Zulus at Isandhl-
wana in 1879.

Loud Chipping Cricket
Usually Fierce Fighter

Cricket fights appeal to cultured
and wealthy Chinese who often
wager large sums on the outcome
of the insect battles.
Fighting crickets get very special
attention. To make them strong
and sleek, a tasty dish is mixed for
them consisting of fresh cucumbers,
boiled cheStnuts, lotus seeds and
mosquitoes. When the hour Of the
fight approaches, relates writer in
the Detroit News, they are frequent
ly dosed with a .bouillon tonic con-
cocted from the roots Of exotic
flowers.
The best cricket fighters, accord
ing to Chinese authorities, are the
loudest chirpers. On tiny scales es-
pecially constructed for the pur-
pose, the crickets are frequently
weighed during training. Extremes
in temperature, reputedly bad for
cricket organisms, are carefully
guarded against and the cricket's
minute mustaches, barometer of its
health, are constantly watched for
the least sign Of dropping.
No smoke is permitted in the
rooms reserved for cricket fights.
The entrants are deliberately
matched as to weight, size and col
or and then are placed in a large
container with screened sides and
top. Like cocks, crickets almost in
variably fight until one Of the con-
testants is dead. Victorious crickets
are carefully guarded and highly
priced. When they, too, eventually
die, they are buried with ceremony
in little silver collins.

Discovered Chromium

The existence Of chromium as an
element was discovered independ-
emily in 1893 by Louis Nicolas Vau-
quelin and Martin Heinrich Klap-
roth. Many years passed, however,
before the free metal was isolated
from its compounds, and even then
it could be produced only in minute
quantities and in an impure state.
It was not until about 1900 that
chemical technology had advanced
sufficiently to permit the production
of the metal in commercial quaint
ties.

Lawns

NO MATTER how good your
lawn was last year or how well
II has come through the winter,
II needs a good raking-rolling
and fertilization. A moderate re-
seeding will help to thicken
grass this summer.
IN SOWING grass seed 1t is best
TO broadcast in two directions
at right angles to each other
and using one-half of the seed
each way.
WHERE GRADING has been
done on your new lawn, be sure
the ground has fully settled be-
fore you seed it. 1t Is difficult
to get rid of the uneyenness al
ter grass has come.
THE PRESENCE of moss on
YOUR lawn indicates either a sour
or impoverished soil. For the
first, apply hydrated lime and for
the second use a good quality
of fertilizer. Practically any
soil, however, will benefit by an
application Of lime followed a
week or two later by fertilizer.
Do not apply both too close to-
gether.
WHETHER ON the lawn or in
the garden, deep moisture en-
courages deep roofing. One thor
ough wetting that gets the water
deep down, is better than several
light sprinklings.
AFTER YOU HAVE applied
Lawn Enricher or fertilizer, go
over the lawn with the back OF
the rake so as to remove 1t from
the leaves and then wet thor
oughly so that the fertilizer will
get down to the roots.
RAKE YOUR GRASS before cut
ting. Crab grass and other weeds
lie close to the ground and this
makes sure getting cut. With
most weeds, the growth Is at the
ends while with grass 1t Is at the
base.
GRASS is fully hardy and a
lawn that Is vigorous and IN
good condition should not be
protected during the winter, In
fact protection does more harm
than good.

II l could get out of this jail I
would do the same thing all over
again.
l would live by the law of the
heater (gun) just as we did after
escaping from the Greenfield, Ind,
Jail, robbing banks, jewelry stores
and other places with money. The
average man trying to make an
honest living hasn't got a chance
nowadays, unless he has the inside
track on something good.
EXPECTS DEATH
However, I guess it's all over
now. They've got enough to hang
me a couple of times. I under
stand in this State you must stand
trial before they can sentence you
to die. Well, I probably would
plead guilty if could get a life
sentence, but I guess they won't
listen to it.
have heard the radio below
out, night after night, on detective
story programs, Crime does not
pay" But crime does pay for a
lot Of people who are not caught
because they avoid the spectacular,
daring way of stealing money like
we have done in robbing banks.
Crime might have paid for us,
too, if Brady ant Shaffer had not
been so flighty. We could have
given 20 or 80 grand and perhaps
skipped the country to England,
Australia or Canada. There we
could have lived in safety.
While have no regrets for the
life have lived, hope my two
boys do not follow in my footsteps.
If could again have chance to
supervise their bringing up I would
see that they had enough spending
money, especially in their high |
school ages. Boys with reason
able allowance Go not steal or get
into much trouble.
But if you want to stop having
gangs like Dillinger's and ours,
get rid of the SlumS. I bet that
more crime is bred in those parts
of large cities than anywhere else.
And more criminals get their
starts in pool rooms than in all
other places combined. The |
police should clean out pool rooms. |
Another thing that should be
fixed up is your penitentiary
system. There's a school of crime
for you. The younger criminals
get postgraduate courses in rob-
berry, safe-blowing and all the
other crimes from the older ones.
A lot of people want to know
how I liked a life of roaming to
sYoid the law. Well, to tell the |
truth, the only moving about we
did was when we raided banks.
Outside of that, we lived in Balti-
more from October, 1886, until Au-
gust of this year. Three days |
after we escaped from the Green
field jail we went in Baltimore,
and. after getting married to the
Raimondo sisters. Shaffer and I
settled down pretty much. The
