Man
Crowd in Courtroom Gasps
When Note Is Read
During Trial
Cleveland— If a ghost had marched
Into Common Pleas Judge Walter Mc-
Mahon's courtroom one day recently
the result would have been no more
electrifying than the reading of an
affldavlt made by David Brown
wealthy Cleveland Heights real estate
man two years before his death
1 am the father of Rudolph and
Blanche Ban Irene Ban wife of John
Ban Is the mother of said Rudolph
and Blanche Ban the affidavit read
"They were christened at the time
-of their baptism by the name of ‘Ban’
to avoid publicity of our relations I
made provisions for said Irene Ban
In my last will and testament
"All of which I did of my own free
will and under no Influence from any
one"
Crowd Qaspa
The crowd In the courtroom gasped
It seemed almost uncanny that the
dead man should have foreseen this
very occurrence — the struggle of his
sixteen nieces and nephews to upset
the will leaving nearly all his $100-
000 estate to Mrs Irene Ban
When W H Schwarts white haired
attorney mounted the stand half an
hour earlier and began to testify In
his clear decisive voice to the draw-
ing up and signing of the Brown will
It seemed a matter of routine
Yes Brown had come to him In 1024
and asked him to draw up his will
Yes he had named Mrs Ban and her
two children Brown had explained
that Mrs Ban had taken care of him-
self and his wife who had died the
previous year and that Mrs Ban was
the mother of his two children
"I want her to have all I’ve got"
Schwartz said Brown told him
"My nieces and nephews never gave
me a drink of water"
Two years after the signing of the
will Brown came again to his office
- Schwartz testified and asked If there
' were some way of “making sure Mrs
Ban would have no trouble from his
nieces and nephews" The affidavit
was drawn up to meet such a contin-
gency Schwartz said
The signing of the will was testi-
fied to by Schwartz and Attorney Wil-
liam J Klotzbach who share office
space In the Society for Savings build-
ing The will was dated May 29 1924
The affldavlt which wns signed only
by Brown and Schwartz was dated
April 7 1926
Mrs Ban Not There
Mrs Bnn was not In the courtroom
during the dramatic introduction of
the affidavit which supports her previous-
statements that Brown was the
father of her two children
The strain of the prolonged litiga-
tion had upset her nerves' On the-
witness stand In the morning she
broke down completely three times at-
tempting to leave the courtroom but

New York — When a native African

Some of the patients live but most of
them die
A fascinating account of the primi-
tive use of drugs among the blacks

the Dark continent in the American
Druggist The use of the white man's
serum is eagerly greeted by the na-

magic
In fact civilization’s medical com-

"I don’t care any more” she choked
"Let them have everything”
The first witness for the defense
was Mrs Ban's brother Alfred Bailey
forty-six of 2499 East Eighty-third
street who said Brown had once
threatened him with a gun when he
tried to break up the affair between
his 'sister and Brown almost twenty
years ago
Following the Introduction of more
testimony the will giving the estate
to Mrs Ban was upheld by the ver-
dict of three women and six men
After deliberating for almost seven
hours three of the twelve Jurors still
doubted the validity of the will and
refused to Join In the verdict which
however required only nine of their
number

BEGIN FIGHT ON
CHICK ENEMIES
Attempt Being Made to Save
Fluffy Youngsters
A war agaipst the enemies of baby
chicks In an effort to save the Uvea
of many of the fluffy youngsters who
fall by the wayside between the in-
cubator and the laying house Is being
waged by poultry men in the chief Ne-
vada producing areas
Through co-operation with the Ne-
vada agricultural extension service
Prof V E Scott poultry specialist
has announced producers In several
counties are Inaugurating a “grow
healthy chicks” project which It Is
hoped will result In more eggs for
Nevada breakfasts and more Sunday
chicken dinners
With clean chicks clean brooders
clean yards clean feed and clean man-
agement as their slogans and objec-
tives the chicken raisers have primed
their guns for the fowl enemies
Nevada poultry men Professor Scott
states are going to begin the fight
with clean chicks which they will pur-
chase from hatcheries having a clean
bill of health and producing young-
sters free from disease and capable
of high production
Brooders Into which the delicate
prospective dinners will be kept will
receive the appellation of “spotless"
when the chicken raisers are through
with them for they will be scraped
of crust scrubbed with a hot lye so-
lution and disinfected Moreover they
will be cleaned dally says Professor
Scott for infant mortality among
chicks can mount high under unclean-
liness When the chicks step forth from
the brooders to get the air and sun-
shine It will not be on ordinary
ground but on new sweet earth or
that on which a crop bus grown be
says
Feed too will be clean according
to Scott who urges a well-balanced
ration in clean troughs scrubbed dally
together with fresh water In clean
drinking fountains
And the management he says will
take every precaution to prevent con-
tamination from other fowls or other
poultry yards
Laying Hen Will Eat
Large Calcium Supply
A 200-egg-a-year hen must eat four
pounds of oyster shells limestone or
equivalent alone writes Dr R M
Bethke In the Farm Journal
If the calcium supply Is short she
either lays weak-shelled eggs of low'
market value or goes on a strike and
quits work entirely
Moreover she must have plenty of
vitamin D in order to assimilate the
calcium The principal sources of
vitamin D are direct sunlight sun-
light through a good glass substitute
or cod liver oil
A dozen other kinds of mlnernls are
necessary for her highness These are
plentiful In some kinds of feed and
Jacking In others If they are not fur-
nished the quality and qunntity of
eggs are low
The poultrymen who are handling
high-producing dorks supplying eggs
to high-class trade must be well
qualified mineralogists as well as
high-class experts in many other
brunches of poultry raising
New Egg Mold Causing
Losses to Handlers
Recently a peculiar mold which de-
velops on egg shells during shipment
and In cold storage has caused some
henvy losses to the handlers of cold
storage eggs As nearly ns can he
learned it seems that this mold Is
euused hy using crates made of un-
seasoned or poorly seasoned wood
This spot mold first appears on the
outside of the egg shell It leaves the
egg unsightly anil reduces its market
value Within a short time It will
peiiet ratp the shell spreading through
the Interior surface und giving the
egg a moldy flavor It can he elim-
inated hv using only well-seasoned
egg crates

bntors and Incubator trnys previous
to the hatching season Is In order

Make Livable Quarters
Out of Old Basement
The old-fashioned basement — that
dark remote dungeon dreaded by
timid children and shunned by every
one except the man who tends the
furnace — Is taking its place along with
ancient torture chambers nnd other
rooms of the dusty past It Is being
supplanted by livable and attractive
quarters
As new houses are constructed with
an eye to utilizing every possible foot
of space the basement becomes one of
the most popular purts of the whole
house In summer It Is cooler than
the upstairs sections nnd in winter
because of the location of the heater
the basement Is always comfortably
warm That It is set off somewhat
from the rest of the house makes It
sultnble for the children's playroom
or for a special retreat for the man
who wnnts room In which to keep a
work bench and tools or Indulge In
some hobby that does not brook Inter-
ruption by the rest of the family
Even where the furnace is a coal
burner part of the bnsement may be
salvaged for room space If It Is sep-
arated from the furnace and coni bins
by dust-proof doors protected with
weather stripping A certain base-
ment storeroom dust laden and clut-
tered with broken furniture and cast
off odds nnd ends wns reclaimed ns
a playroom by sealing It from the fur-
nace pnrt and providing It with a
separate entrance
The steps leading down to the new
entrance door of glass were painted
with untlnted white-lead pnlnt to in-
crease the reflected light In the room
The trends of the steps were painted
a darker tone that would not readily
show wear The deep window ease-
ments were also painted with white
paint To add further to the light-
ness of the room the celling wns
painted a yellow just oft the white
and the walls were given a coating of
plastic wdiite-lend paint In a pale
green color In the vein relief effect
I'lnstic pnlnt wns chosen because the
slightly roughened surface wns more
In keeping with the character of the
room thnn a smooth finish and less
likely to show scars and marks of

pecially will children enjoy such a

Home Styles in America
Wretched Says Wilbur
Three-fourths of the buildings
erected In the United States in 1929
were so ugly so badly planned that
they were liabilities from their incep-
tion That Is the opinion of Charles II
Cheeney of the American Institute of
Architects The opinion is slinred by
United States Secretary of the In-
terior Wilbur
“Small house architecture in Amer-
ican towns in the pnst lias been
wretched” says Mr Wilbur In the
current American Architect “People
are only beginning to realize that
home charm tuny be achieved nt small
cost Indeed the American people ‘
have endured the blight of homes built
nlong incorrect architectural lines long
enough”
The American Architect sees a '
promise of less ugliness j
“The swing to better designed houses j
has already started” It says “Buy-
ers have helped tremendously by de-
manding better design Builders who
have sensed this tendency and build
better designed houses find they can
sell their products much easier Their
houses create greater customer sutls-
faction which In turn brings addi-
tional jobs from the buyer's friends
and others”
So the end of the Rutherford B
Hayes era looms
