WOMAN 18 HANGBD j
England Exacts Extreme Penalty
From Murderer.
s. _______
Manchester, England, June 24.?Inside
the gray walls of Strangeway
jail a woman?the mother of three
children, one of them a baby?was
hanged* this morning.
Mis. Louise Calvert, 88 ye^hi old,
was executed for strangling her landlady,
Mrs. Lilly Waterhouse, and then
robbing her.
Thousands of persons had petitioned
'the home secretary, Sir William
Joyuson-Hicks, for. clemency. Sir
William said he found no ground
which would justify him in advising
the king to interfere with the due
course of the law. Among those
most energetic in circulating petitions
.was Mrs. Calvert's husband, from
whom she was separated at the time
of the murder.
'Mrs. Calvert was taken into cus#
tody April 2 and the sentence of death
was imposed May 7. Prior to being
sentenced she appealed for a stay of
execution on the ground that she soon
again was to become a mother. A
jury of women was empanelled to investigate.
her claim. The medical evidence
did not support it.
The last execution of a woman in
England was in 1928.
Although Mrs. Calvert maintained
her innocence until the eleventh hour,
it was understood that she mAde a
full confession of the crime just before
being led to the scafTold.
He Got The Money
A farmer presented himself at the
loan window of a Georgia bank a few
'weeks ago and asked for a loan. Of
coUtfse there was nothing unusual ,
about this, except what the president
told him. i
"I understand you want some
money to finance your crop this i
year?" asked the bapker politely. j
"Yes, I need about four hundred]
dollars," answered the farmer."
"Let me see now, I believe you
have an automofolie, haven't you,"
Interrogated the bank president.
The farmer admitted it.
"What make machine is it?"
The . farmer ' replied, giving the
name of an automobile that usually
sells for afround a thousand dollars.
"Now, I tell you what I'll do," the
banker went on. "You take the four
wheels off that automobile and bring
them up here to the warehouse back
of the banjc, and leave them with me.
If you will do that, I will let you have
the money. 'But I am not going to
vlet you have money to finance your
rcrop with and then have it spent for
automobile tires and gasoline." , >
~~The farmer got the loan.
In the meantime, the banker is
keeping careful watch over four perfectly
good automobile wheels that
are piled in the warehouse behind the
bank.
Similar warehouses would accomplish'Much

generally.-?Anderson Independent.
More than $260,000,000 was collected

Small Village Mother
el City of Baltimore
Fur to tile uorth vu the southeastern
cosst of Newfoundland la a little village
called Ferry land, says a writer la
the Baltimore Sun. Thla small, wind- blown
town of aome aparae five hundred
lnhubltanta la In a way the mother
df a buxom, prosperous daughter to
the south, the city of Baltimore.
In 1628 George Calvert, Lord Baltomore,
arrived In North America with a
charter which gave him most of the
Island of Newfoundland,, called the
provluce of Avalon. He founded his
first colony In the new country on the
site of this village of Ferryland and
settled there with hlu fumlly.
But finding the climate more rigorous
than he thought comfortable, he
asked Charles I for a grant of land
north of the Potomac river and planned
to move to warmer regions. Ills request
was granted, but before the
final negotiations were completed he
died.
His son, Ceclllus Calvert, second
baron of Baltimore, completed the
transaction li} 1632 and named his
colony Maryland In compliment t? the
queen, Henrietta Maria.
? And so It was that Ferryland was
left to struggle with the bleak winds
blowing off the ragged const where It
clung up on the hillside, Bat though
small, It was wiry, and today It still la
alive, not a great deal larger than It
was tp the days of lta early yauth several
hundred yeara ago, but still sound
and hearty.
EnglUh Trade-Marks
Many Centuries Old
English legislation trending toward
the authorisation of trade-marks began
In 1236. In that year parliament proTided
that "every baker shall have a
mark of his own for every sort of
bread." . This was followed in 1368 by
Edward Ill's provision that every master
goldsmith have a mark. ' ?
Under Henry V appears an ordinance
for marking barrels* and one of
these early eigne, dating back to 1420,
Is atlll used by the London Coopers'
company. By' 1688 Randla Holmes,
writing of his investigations throughout
tke kingdom, reported Chester ti
be full of merchant marks. And shortly
thereafter the practice became the
Institution.
, Many of the present British companies
hold devices dating back to the
Seventeenth century.?Exchange.
Tungsten of Great Value
Tungsten or wolfram Is a metallic
element Isolated by the brothers d'Klhujart
in 1788, after Scheele had, in
1771, isolated tungstlc acid. Tungsten
la not found native, but occurs as the
tungstate of Iron and manganese In
the mineral wolframite, as the calcium
tungstate or scheelile, aa. the trlorlde
or wolfram ochre, and In small quantities
In other minerals. Tungsten minerals
are almost Invariably found In
tip ores. It is used to Increase the
hardness and tenacity of steel and
thus Improve It as a material for hard
.tools. Coolidge has succeeded la rendering
tungsten malleable and ductile,
aiwLat-preeettt twngsten wlre ls widely
used for making Incandescent lhmp
filaments.
Narrow Eeeape
The professor was lecturing te the
medical class and stopped occasionally
to fiftk a question. "Suppose," he said,
"a young woman In walking oa a slippery
pavement fell and dislocated her
ankle, and you happened to be on the
spot, what would you do?"
"Rubber,'' answered the flippant
and unthlnklug young man. The rest
of tlm_cl*ss held Its. breath till the
professor went 6n:
"Quite right. / A vigorous rubbing
would serve-to down the swelling
until remedies could be procured and
applied." ' And the students breathed
again.?Brooklyn Eagle.

Thrift Not Mere Saving
It' is well to understand that thrift
means much more than the mere saving
of money, says Thrift Magaslne. It
is unfortunate tha^so much of our current
thrift educational effort is directed
solely along lines of money saving.
Many people, through great patience
and * self-denial, are able to lay by a
comfortable sum, only to lose it in the
end through Ill-advised -.investment.
Thrift education should be conducted
along broad lines. How to spend
and Invest Is as important as how te
save. -/
Many-Sided Mule Those
who are supporters of the mule
say, in comparison with the horse, ho
lives longer, endures more work and
hardship, requires less attention and
feed, and is less liable to digestive disorders,
lameness and disease. The difficulty
is to know how to handle the
mule because of the fact of a combination
of stubbornness and willingness,
temper and sullenness, slyness and docility,
faithfulness and waywardness.
The mule must be understood, and'
gently but firmly persuaded to do
things out of the ordinary.
Quick Thinking
famous automobile racer was
speeding at night through a town that
was In darkness owing to an electricians'
strike. Something went wrong
with his batteries, and the lights of
his car went out. He was accosted by
a policeman, who, pointing to bis
darkened lamps, asked his name and
address. The racer did some quick
thinking, and said. "Of course my
lights are out. They're out all srer
town." "That's right. I forgot," *tam"
Si if Id the policeman. "Go aho?4."
Crop# Greatly Improved
(Columbia, June 23. -Material imI
provement in the crop situation
throughout the South Carolina forecast
urea due to generous rains in the
past week has been noted by the
United States weather bureau at
'Columbia in its crop sumtnory for
'the week ending June 22, which reads
'as follows: "Intermittent showers
have occurred' in most of the states
during the week, with some drenching
rains in sections of the Piedmont,
and western counties, where drought
has persisted. These conditions have
materially improved the crop outlook,
and planters in the western and
northwestern counties are obtaining
j satisfactory stands of cotton, corn
and other field crops. In the eastern,
central und southern counties, all
! crops show general improvement,
with cotton, corn, truck and other
crops becoming vigorous. Cotton
chopping up-state continues. Tobacco
is good to fair only, with poor stands.
The cereal harvests up-state are
about finished, with results exceeding
expectations, and much stubble land
is being turned to forage. Peaches,
and blackberries are plentiful, and
cherries are fine. Native tomatoes
are being shipped, but tender vegetables
are still rather scarce/'
The largest barrel in the world,
^capacity 70,950 gallons, has-been constructed
at El Taville-on-the-Rhine.
