Jean De Koven Slayers Go
 On Trial In France Today

penalty for the stolid Weidmann; a German, and there seemed little chance that he would escape the gullotine. His jury was made up of middle-class Parisiens of this Paris suburb. A heavy police guard was stationed at the court room, where four lawyers. directed by the famous Vincent de Moro Giafferi, began the battle in his defense. One of his attorneys is Mrs. Renee Jardin, who formerly taught school in the United States. Others are Robert Planty and Jean Raoult. The state also sought a death sentence for Roger Million, charged with committing one of the six murders, and asked lesser -entences for Colette Tricot and Jean Blanc, the other members of the gang.
 Although one Paris newspaper had re -orted that Weidmani1 had vainly plotted to escape from prison on the eve of his trial Mrs. Jardir said her client had turned to religion and had been a model prisoner.
 "The only thing can do for my parents is become religious" she quoted him. T have no illusions about what the jury will decide and I'd like to try to square accounts beforehand"

Another Lizard Mystery

Some 46 years ago." writes D.
D. Griswold, of Valley Center to the
Los Angeles Times, my brother-in-
law and ] were cutting some very
large live oaks in what is now Grit
fifth park. In saving through a 16-
inch limb we cut into cavity out
Of which fell two lizards about 10
inches long. Now both ends Of this
cavity were completely sealed by
sound wood. The lizards might
have entered long before where
branch had broken off. But at the
time we made the cut this place
was solidly overgrown for four or
five inches. AS we did not count
the annual growth rings it is any
body's guess how long the lizards
were entirely shut in by the over
growth. They were almost trans
parent and very sluggish, but after
they had been out in the sunshine
for while they crau''~d away"

Prefabricated Kitchen
Has Many Advantages

An example Of the advantages Of
prefabrication as applied TO the
building industry is the modern
kitchen. Standardization and mass
production Of kitchen and bathroom
equipment are not only effecting
substantial economies in the cost Of
materials and their installation, but
are speeding up new construction
and the modernization Of old kitch-
ems.
Rehabilitation of kitchen equip
ment received its impetus from the
development of the cabinet type Of
sink. Subsequently matching floor
and wall cabinets were developed
to harmonic with the cabinets I'M
der the sink.
Today it is possible for the house
wife to select the entire equipment
for a new or modernized kitchen
from standardized prefabricated
units which. include wall and base
cabinets, cabinets under the enam-
eled iron sink, and a kitchen range
which is so constructed that It win
at perfectly into the stream-lined en-
sembled effect created by the
standardized units.
Despite the fact that these units
are made in standard sizes, they
are available in such wide range
Of models and colors that there is
ample opportunity for the housewife
to plan a kitchen which viii reflect
her own personal taste. There are
three types of cabinets available
for kitchens. These are wall cab
inets, base cabinets and vertical
cabinets.
Base cabinets are placed under
the sink and under counters adjoin-
ing the sink or stove. ALI base cab
inets are made the same heights as
the sink and range. namely, SO
inches. Studies by home economics
experts carried on with the assist
ance of the plumbing industry have
revealed that this is the correct
height for the average woman. It
is possible to vary the height il de-
sired. Ample toe space is provided
at the base Of the cabinets.

Dr. Haskins believes there is evil

greatest advances to be made in
science will be in the so-called bor-

Old Style Seismograph
Sill Registers Quakes

: !. =
An old seismograph that cost only
$3.50 when ii was installed nearly
80 years ago is still recording earth
squakes in Mobile, Ala. and doing
the Job Of the newer and costlier
machines.
On two occasions recently the old
instrument at Spring Hill college
was the first in the nation to record
earthquakes, according to Rev. A.
j. Westland. S. j.. physicist and vice
president Of seismologists in the
eastern half Of the United States.
Father Westland said the local
seismograph was the first estab-
lished in the deep South and while
not as sensitive and costly as some
modern types it still performs
smoothly and is reliable.
It is the Wiechert type, still the
most common In the world and the
Model T Of the seismographic instru-
ments.
The machine is so sensitive it win
record the footsteps Of students
dashing down the han, away from
their physics and chemistry classes.
Trucks rumbling past the building
and heavy seas pounding In the Gulf
nearby also viii cause oscillations
of the seismograph's pen.
However, Father Westland ex-
planned, seismologist can tel at
glance the difference between local
disturbances and a real earthquake.
An average Of a shock week is
recorded, but the seismograph failed
to pick up two mild shocks in Ala
bama recently. Father Westland
said he believed it was something
about the earth's strata which pre-
vented those shocks being recorded
The seismograph rests on stone
pier in Yenni hail. The pier. buried
deep In the earth, does not touch
the building.
The machine works on the same
principle as magician snatching
tablecloth from under dishes with
out spilling thing. The pier and
machine move, but the needle re-
mains stationary, recording the os-
cillation on smoked paper. Ink is
too smeary to leave clear record.
