them children, were killed by automo¬ 
biles on the highways of the United

proximately a dozen injured March 3,

eastbouml, crashed into a bus iu Paines- 
ville, Ohio. According to railroad of¬ 
ficials, another train, westbound, crashed

signed to John 1*. Ilamlyn, naturalist, of

recent conviction on a charge of ine¬ 
briety.

February 25, was found March <1 by his 
son. Charles C. Hirdsall. in a lot in the 
rear of the house of Leonard Waterbary, 
not 400 feet from the Hirdsall homo. The 
body was half covered with snow and 
frozen. The supposition is that lie went 
to sleep and froze to death. Birdsnil was 
46 years old. 
The National Surety Company of New 
York, holding the nationwide crime wave 
responsible for a 51 per cent increase in 
the number of claims filed on burglary in¬ 
surance during 1921. attributes the crime 
wave to the unwillingness of men to give 
up the taste for high life and expensive 
pleasures which was acquired during the 
war wage period, drugs, unemployment, 
the parole and pardon of desperate crim¬ 
inals, and the system of suspended sen¬ 
tences. The company says experience 
proves conclusively that the automobile is 
the biggest factor in the crime wave. 
Five workmen were killed aud several 
others injured by the explosion of a com¬ 
pressed air tank at the car barns of the 
Kansas City Railway Company. Kansas 
City, Mo., March 7. The detonation 
wrecked a large part of the barns.

hills had been recommended by the recent 
conference of New York State District At¬ 
torneys. The four measures seek to pro¬ 
vide for: Abolition of the indeterminate 
sentence; increase of from $50 to $100

sonal charge as assistant treasurer of 
the institute, linger is said to have tied 
24 hours before he was to appear before

A sweeping investigation into methods 
employed in cotton speculation in this 
city was foreshadowed March 7. John 
Doe proceedings were begun before Chief 
City Magistrate McAdoo. based upon in¬ 
formation tiled by the District. Attorney 
against unnamed persons, exchanges and 
corporations illegally “bucketing in cot¬ 
ton and the exhibition of unlawful quo¬ 
tations in support, of bucket contracts and 
fictitious advertising to induce the public 
to enter Into contracts." The proceedings 
grew out of recent, complaints made to 
District. Attorney Ban top, accusing the 
American Cotton Exchange, of 83 Heaver 
street. New York, of irregularities, and 
the demand of the exchange for a public 
airing of the charges. 
FARM AND GARDEN.—“Sixmillion 
farm women are fighting for their children 
and are going to vote for them this Fall," 
said Mrs. Nels 1\ Kadick, a farmer’s wife 
from Fulda. Minn., March 3, in a hearing 
before the Senate Committee on Agricul¬ 
ture on the question of legislation to 
stabilize prices of farm products. Airs. 
Radick is the advance guard of a small 
army of farm women who are coming to 
Washington from the l Yost and North¬ 
west to urge such legislation. It is said 
the plan of having farmers’ wives appear 
before the committees of Congress on this 
matter lifts been worked out by leaders 
of radical farm organizations. In her 
testimony Mrs. Radick said the wives and 
children of the fanners are in desperate 
straits on account of the great deflation 
in prices of farm products. Mrs. Radick 
urged Government, guaranty of prices of 
farm products for a few years and a Gov¬ 
ernment. export corporation to finance the 
marketing abroad of grain and other agri¬ 
cultural products. 
l'rof. R. B. llininan of Cornell Univer¬ 
sity will give a short course on “Hog 
Raising on Eastern Farms” at. Columbia 
University, New York City, Friday and 
Saturday. March 17-18. Prof. Hugh 
Findlay begins a short course on "Land¬ 
scaping the Home Grounds” at Columbia 
University, March 21. These courses 
should be well attended, as they are ac¬ 
cessible to many interested persons in and 
adjacent to Greater New York. 
Fears that '‘attempts- to curtail appro¬ 
priation for the remount, service” may be 
made in Congress are expressed in com¬ 
munications received hy the War Depart¬ 
ment from horse breeders. Work formerly 
done by the 1 lepartmeut of Agriculture in 
connection with improvement of the farm 
horses is now handled by the remount 
service, and the farmers’ representatives 
have filed protests with members of Con¬ 
gress against any slash of the military 
budget which would interfere with this 
activity, The remount, service has 200 
stallions, valued at more than $500,000, 
and has mapped out a breeding program 
in 40 Stales during the year in co-opera¬ 
tion with fanners, as it has been found 
that the most desirable type of horse for 
army use is the type best fitted for farm 
work. A message to Col. F. 8. Arm¬ 
strong, chief of the remount service, 
signed by representatives of more than 
40 horse breeders’ organizations in the 
New Englaud States, New York and 
Pennsylvania, said the work carried on 
by the service is “of incalculable value to 
the horse-1 weeding industry of the coun¬ 
try." “We especially protest,” it said, 
“against the proposal to abandon the re¬ 
mount depot at Front Royal, Ya.. the 
only remount depot in the. East or South.” 
The service was allowed $150,000 in the 
current army hill, a reduction from $250.- 
000 the year before, and plans for the 
coming fiscal year contemplate continued 
operation of three depots—Front Royal, 
Fort Robinson, Neb., and Fort Reno, 
Okla.

Conveyance of Joint Deed 
Would you advise us as to what meas¬ 
ures are necessary to have a joint deed 
between husband and wife on their home? 
It is at present all in the husband’s name. 
Would it be necessary, in order to have 
a clear title, to deed it to a third party, 
who in turn would deed if back to both? 
Or could the husband have it changed by 
taking it to the recording office? 
New York. mbs. b. s. 
Under the present statute a husband 
can convey to himself and his wife as ten¬ 
ants by the entirety without the interven¬ 
tion of a third! party. It is necessary to 
draw a new deed. N. T.
