Bewetskey and his wife, half-choked by smoke and scantily clad, crawled through a broken second-story window, climbed over a wet and slippery Iron nwnlng to nn adjoin ing residence. Bernard Ilnratz. a relative, who resides with Bewetskey. tried to de scend the stall way, but was beaten hnck by the blazn nnd forced to escape through a rear window.

HUSBAND, LONG "DEAD," HALTS WIFE'S WEDDING Cha'rleroi's Enoch Arden Spoils Role by Refusing to Dis appear Again CHABLEBOI, Pa. March 1, Mourned as long dead, Ignnce Packer appeared at tho church and prevented the wedding of his wife, Anna Packer, and Stanislaus Wee mans. Fortunately for the wife and Wee mans, a friend recognized Packer entering the church several minutes before the cere mony wns to begin. The autorooblle carrying the bridal couple nnd their attendants was stopped outside and warning conveyed to the prin cipals. Later Packer and his wife met at the latter's home, hut the reconciliation brought little Joy to Packer. Nine years ago Packer, while living with his wlfo in nppnrent happiness, suddenly disappeared Three years after he had gone away word reached this city that he had been killed In an accident. The report of Tacker's death was later verified by a a friend who reported he had seen his body Interred In a western city. Unlike Enoch Arden, Packer refuses to go away and leave thp pair. He explains his absence by saying he was visiting his old home in Europe. He also says tnat no wrote his wife several letters which she never answered. BIBLE PATRIOT'S BOOK, SAYS DEAN IN SERMON The Bible as tho great text book of patriotism and of political problems was extolled In the nooday Lenten sermon at tho Garrlck Theatrj- by the Very Rev. Dr. II. P. Almon Abbott He said In part , "The solution of every modern political problem lies right In the Bible. Patriotism itself Is preached In the, scriptures. The Idea of Patrick Henry. "Give me liberty or give mo death." was not original with him. The doctrines of human liberty were preached repeatedly In both the Old and New Ttestaments. "What we need Is not so many good prin ciples as good men. Individual character must underlie tho success of any nation. There nre many traitors In, time of peace and these are more dangerous to the wel fare of a country than the open traitors of war. The traitors of war are shot; so the traitors of peace should be shot shot by publlo Indignation." financial standards Assailed by preacher "Judas's Pence Value" was the subject of the sermon of tho Rev. Paul L. Young, of St. Paul's Church, at the noonday Lenten service In Old St. John's Church today. Ho said; "Judas only knew of pence vaua. This Is a modern fault. Thousands of men and women today estimate all the finer attri butes of lfe In dollars and cents. Friend ship, sympathy, faithfulness, Sacrifice and loya Itself are listed. In the Judas price catalogue now, "The salvation of a.' soul Is not a pence business. A money-seeking pastor or evan gelist Is not, a soul healer,, but a pence col lector. The church pf today which values Ita success on Its financial report Is missing the purpose to which It was dedicated." 1 1 1 Cookman Pastor to Go to Trenton Important changes In the Philadelphia Methodist Episcopal Conference are ex pected to bejnade' when the conference con venes in March 14.

Radishes and Lettuce Easy to Grow Super visor of School Gardens Gives Practical Hints Listen, housewives nnd avolders jf tho high prices. Tho high cost of growing Isn't one Inch higher than It was ten years ago I The arfluent little radish Is still a modest affair "born to blush unseen" when Inter viewed In the back yard, and a head nf let tuce doesn't ask one whit moro stretching spaco than It did back In grandma's gnrden. Tho tomato makes no strlkn demands on Father Sun and, tho tho recently "arrived" onion manages to get nlong on tho usual supply of rain. Formidable and strange ns theso erst while friends seem when lewed on the heights of n market stand, approached In the comfortable sunnlncss of a plain "two by fpur" back yard, they can be wooed back to former status. And "there Is nothing mystical about gardening," says Miss Oaro Miller, supervisor of school gardons for the Board of Publlo Education. "Some persons aro surprised when things do como up, whereas they should bo surprised when they don't!" Which all means that any woman with a few feet of back yard at her disposal am' the ability to follow a few simple rules can keep down tho cost of her tablo to a cry great degree by establishing n homo garden. Miss Miller gives n few simple nnd un teehnlcal suggestions for tho housewife who has had no experlenco in the art of grow ing, She prefaces her Informal rules by saying: 'No one need bo nfrald of seed If the ground In which It Is to bo planted Is well prepared." Preparation consists In fertilizing the soil with well-rotted manure street sweepings or with nny of tho pre paied fertilizers which are to be had at tho seed stores with full directions for their uso. If street sweepings ;irc to bo used, n generous layer should be spread over the top of tho ground and then turned under when the soil Is dug up. Spading should be doep and raking and hoeing thorough. Miss Miller draws attention to thn fact that what sho hero treats of In outline Is fully covered In directions furnished by the seedsman from whom seeds nre purchased She warns against two common errors of amateur gardeners, planting too deep and overcrowding. "Plant swlss chard." Is the first sowing advice. "A ten-foot row of this." ex plains Miss Miller, "will supply a small-sized family with greens for an entlro season. The leaves are served as spinach and the mid rib leaf stalks can be used as asparagus. The particular merit of the plant Is In Its Plentiful bearing and long season growth. The leaves must bo picked close to the ground and tho outside leaves picked first to Insure the proper development of tho plant. The swlss chard may bo planted ns soon ad the ground Is workable. "Tho little bush beans, the ones thnt do not recpilie poles, nre very productive Many gardeners hao had grent success with the kidney, wax nsd tho strlngless green pod ltenns should not he planted until tho fruit irecs negm to l!oom "Lettuce and radishes nre rapid growers, particularly radishes.

The golden uilc for amateur gardeners, nccnrdlng to Miss Miller, Is a thoroughly prepared soil, plenty of sun. care nbout overcrowding, constant hoeing to keep down weeda nnd to Insure n mulch of earth nt all times, not much watering in the spring nnd' early summer when the ground Is moist nnd an occasional after sundown soaking in the dry season, followed by hoeing early the next day. 500,000 RED MEN OFFER SERVICES TO NATION Head of Fraternal Order Wires Plan of Assistance to Presi dent Wilson CLOUCESTEU CITV, N J..

Klndler's and Hammann's recital In Wltherspoon Hall last night Is neither easy nor agreeable. Each Is a trained nrtlst of proed Interpretative per ception : each records mood sehsltlvely and delicately; each Is personable and popular. But no one, not even the greatest cellist or pianist. Is proof against such a combina tion as an Imperfect program, atrocious weather and the mood that mtchanlzes In stead of making lyrical. In spile of this gloomy critical prelude It may be added that tho talents of the artists were not wholly obscured. Only they did not quite touch the pinnacle of their Inst Joint np pea ranee. A very large nnd acclamnlory audience followed the Messrs. Klndler and Hammann through their brilliant If not especially sensitive performance of n Beethoxen sonata, itself undistinguished by beauty of sentiment or phrase. Tho touch on the violoncello often bespoke a young master's hands nt the strings, and tho broad sweep ing movements in tho high notes were ac complished with the grace of a virtuoso. The other dual production was a Saint Saens sonata. Individual playing found expression In Schumann's "Pnplllons" and the glittering Chopin scherzo of opus 30, by the pianist, and the Liszt-Popper rhapsody and a nov elty by Oodowsky, "Lnrghetto Lamentoso," by the cellist, The last-named, while per fectly superficial nnd trivial, proved to havo all the elements of a popular success. Sen timentally presented, ns Mr Klndler did It, It was rapturously received Of course, the technique of skilled performers, ndept and agile, must always blind the unknowing to their slips In emotional grasp nnd spiritual Insight, Mr. Klndler can usually "make a nightingale out of an ox," In the classic phrase, Mr. Hammann can usunly lift him self quite out of the rut nf mere accom panists. To repent that they did not last night Is merely to repent that they are human and music the most elusive and In tanglblo, as well as the greatest of the arts. n. d.
