. Hickman Must Hang. SAN QUENTIN BENITEI&TIARY, Cal., July s—Politeness that Willlam Edward Hickman learned when he was a model student in high school ldid not forsake him today when hig greatest hope of escaping the death ’penalty for the murder of Marion ’P‘ark?r was swept away by a ruling of the state supreme court.

. The young slayer whose crime startied a nation was notified by Waorden James ‘B. Holohan that his appez Ito the state siupreme court had been denied.

“Thank you warden” Hickman said, Than . without a single show of emotion or indication of what the message really meant to him, Hick-

man courteously ushered the prison official from his cell in the condemned row of the pentitentiary. Holohar’s information was meager wher he stepped into Hickman’s cell and he cnly told the prisoner that ‘he court had upheld the constitutionality of the law under . which Hick:nan was sentenced to hang. A telegram from Frank Sievers law partner of Richard Cantillon who . with Jerome Walsh of Kansas City defended Hickman made it possible for the warden to tell the condemrned youth of the adverse ruling. .Tho warden accepted the telegram instead of waiting for formal notification from the clerk of the supreme court.

THE LIGONIER BANNER, LIGONIER, INDIANA.

. Genius Often Linked Are great writers necessarily afflicted With bad bandwriting? A French paper puts the question. But there seems to be no hard and fast rule. . ‘

The writing of “ictor Hugo, one of his publishers said once, “resembled a battlefield on a plece of paper.” The typesetters who succeeded in deciphering Balzac were often desperate, and one is said to have gone crazy after hours of vain effort.

Robert Louis Stevenson was even worse. No printer ever -ould make out what he had written. Stevenson had to assist in copying what he had put down in the first place. Sydney 3mith could not decipher his own handwriting after twenty-four hours. On the other hand certain English writers like Arnold Bennett, Thomas jHardy and H. G. Wells, write legibly and even elegantly, But it shculd not be forgotten either that none of these three started out on a writing career in youth. Arnold Bennett was desitined for the bar and served his time dn a lawyer’s office. Thomas Hardy 'began as an architect, and H. G. Wells 'started out in life as a dry goods clerk. - * .

jDrab Colorings Not - Popular With Romans

: The old Roman conquerors of {Britain had a keen eye for colors, acicording to analysis of excavations of ‘the Latin settlement at Colchester, -EEng., made by the Essex Archeologfieal society. > _ . No unornamented walls for the Ro‘mans, but brilliant colors of greeu,% red, yellow and blue, Their wall plas.ter was colored and highly tinted.? ;Even the floors were colored, for one ‘rooln has been found with a red ‘paved floor. Mosaic floors have been 'discovered which are done in black,, fred, yellow and white “tesserae,” or 'small cubes of clay and stone. The ‘gsmallness of the tesserae and the fine iworkmanship of- the pavement, ac{eording to experts, indicate that the pwork was done in the early period of ‘the Roman occupation of-England. . A Roman rubbish pit was one of the finds of the excavation. Among the tdebris were found hundreds of whole or nearly whole pottery vessels, Experts say they date to the time of -the Emperor Trajan, A. D. 98117,

India’s Sacred River

+ The Ganges is the sacred river of ythe Hindus. On its banks are many ftemples and holy places such as {Benares, Allahabad, Hardwar and [ Gangotrl. According to the legend ithe Princess Ganda, a Hindu goddess of long ago, turned herself into thig (great river, that she might enrich tand purify the country. Devout ’inndus bathe themselves in its sacred {waters and pray to die beside it. It s their desire that their bodies may 'be burned upon its banks and their iashes scattered over its waters and -allowed to float on down to the sea, EThe length of the main stream of the *Ganges is 1,657 miles, and its every {gend is sacred. Pilgrims walk from its source and back again, taking six ;months or more for the pilgrimage,

Ancient Baths

' The Roman bath was heated in the rsame way as the Persian bath, and fexactly the same system is still used 'in every town and village In Persia gtoday. There is a large copper or iron plate in the bottom of the ma. &sonry hot water tank; the heuat of the ifurnace is led beneath this, and then junder the floor of the hot room, '(which is supported on low brick pil,Jars, just as in the case of the Rojman baths, There are flues in three Jof the walls, which not only are ichimneys but also heat the room still ‘further. By a system of dampers the lheat can be both regulated and di(verted from one part of the room to tanother.

Lacquered Silver

« The bureau of standards says that ithe lacquer on sterling silver, when it is wearing off, should be removed 'by a solvent, such as a lacquer thin'ner or butyl acetate. If the objects ?are discolored, they should be cleaned iwith a silver cleaner and washed and !dried carefully, avoiding finger marks lfon the surface. The silver may then ;be relacquered with a clear lacquer for silverware sold by most lacquer }manufa‘cturers. After’ lacquering the }objects should be dried at 100 to 120 'degrees Fahrenheit for 30-45 minutes. Time and money might be saved by Lt:.:lng the articles to an electroplatplant or to a jeweler.

Quaint Nicknames

l" That schoolboys—and schoolgirls—;are so addicted to the bestowal of {nicknames is in accordance with race {development. Backward races beIstowed nicknames to the exclusion ',ot patronymics. When I lived ‘n Madeira, says a correspondent to an Engfllsh paper, 1 knew peasants who had orgotten what their real names were they had ever known them! There were among my acquaintance, Cabage Soup. Five Farthings, Mrs. ‘Blackbird and Hot Water Jug, heg;les Miss Codfish and Sweet Potato. "The reasons why these names were m;n were unknown, yet somehow all undoubtedly fitted!
