A prophecy of L L. STEVENSON Short Story: On his return home after a number of fruitless and discouraging editorial caUs, a young author opened his briefcase and found not the three manuscripts with which he had started but a collection of frilly, feminine silk things. His wife didnt make any comments but he didn't like the look in her eye, so when he started to backtrack the next morning, he wasnt in exactly goed spirits. Nor did they rise any, when on his second stop, he discovered that the unintended exchange had been made with a woman fiction editor whom he had been trying for some time to interest in his work. No end embarrassed, he started to apologize for his carelessness. She cut him short. She too hadnt discovered the error until she had reached her apartment. Then, moved by curiosity, which even editors seem to have, she read the manuscripts and liked them so well that she decided to accept all three stories. Washington, made by a noted geographer 65 years ago that the center of population of the United States would ultimately be at a point 30 miles east of St. Louis appears nearer of fulfilment. The term "center of population,1 as used by the census bureau, is that point which may be considered the center of gravity of the United States; tlipt is, if it were a rigid plane without weight and the population distributed over it, with each individual being assumed to have equal yveight and to exert an influence on a center point proportional to his distance from the point. Although the bureau has not made a study to determine the center of population since 1930 because of the expense involved, it was believed that on the basis of most recent population distribution estimates, the hypothetical point is several Samaritan: As is well known, New miles west of Paxton, Ind., close to Yorks many pigeon flocks have certhe Indiana-Illinoline. tain friends w'ho make it their business to feed them regularly.

Discussing some origins of property rights, the Journal of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers cites the fact that the first property rights in this country were acquired by the colonists by virtue of royal charters, occupation or purchase from the Indians. The lands usually consisted of large tracts and the title was deemed to vest in the in the commoners, inhabitants, in the original proprietors, and, usually, in theory, in the king of England, under whom they held title. The time came," explains the Journal, when it was deemed advisable to divide the lands among individuals, and many were the disputes in proprietor meetings or in town meetings between proprietors, inhabitants and commoners in respect to the division. Sometimes the proprietors claimed ownership for themselves to the exclusion of the other inhabitants of the community and held proprietor meetings, as distinguished from town meetings, and made the division among, themselves. Sometimes the distinction between proprietor meetings and town meetings had been lost, and oftentimes the right to share in the division, in so far as inhabitants who were not proprietors were concerned, rested upon which had a majority physical or otherwise. Sometimes the division was made by number, each getting an equal share; sometimes it depended upon the amount of taxes which a person paid, the larger taxpayer reof land. ceiving the larger quantity Sometimes the ' division was made by the meeting, but frequently by a committee selected to make a survey and to lay out the land. In any event, the lands allotted were usually large farms, with a share of pasture land, wood lot, land for cultivation, a house lot, and often an undivided share in the commons."

She is moving to a farm south of here to attempt the development of new botanical specimens. Miss Miller planned the Memorial Gardens in 1910 and since has supervised them.

Miss Miller was the first woman to attend Cornell universitys school of forestry.

FLORAL Cleveland. A man hunt which has netted 300 suspects a score or more of whom have been jailed for other serious crimes has passed mark without shedding the a sigle clew on the mystery of Clevelands ten headless victims of a latter day Jack the Ilipper. It was in September, 1C25, after the finding of two decapitated bodies in Kingsbury Run, a desolate region near the heart of the city, that Detective Sergeant James Hogan took up the trail of the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run. Today 13 detectives are working full time on the case. In the meantime they have not turned up one substantial clew to the identity of the surgically skilled murderer who prowls the city's industrial flats and the lake shore, lures his victims by making friends with them, lops off their heads while they stiff are alive, and then severs arms and legs with the precision of a practiced anatomist. Earlier Murder Recalled. The mystery began with the finding of the first two bodies two years .ago. Exactly one year before that the nude torso of a woman was found on the shore of Lake Erie. Investigators since have linked that death with the series of torso murders. Sergeant Hogan has kept no record of. the number of telephone calls from persons who think they have a solution to the mystery. He says the number would run into thousands. He has on file more than 500 letters and telegrams containing fantastic information. Every suggestion has been investigated from that of the New York criminologist and psychiatrist who suggested the murders might be the act of a suicide club to the advice of a man who said he was an expert and wrote in offering to solve the case within three months if paid $200 a month and given 20 men to work with him. Most dramatic part in the chase has been played by two detectives who were assigned as a special detail. Combing the three-mil- e length of gully cut Kingsbury Run, they have dressed as hobos, crawled into sewers, mingled with shifty transients, addled knife grinders, and demented former interns. Suspects of Many Types. They have brought in a huge assortment of suspects tramps, butchers, perverts, demented persons, paroled convicts, barbers, male nurses, employees of slaughterhouses, and voodoo. doctors. But there has been no trace of the mad butcher. Numerous tests have been made for the killer's finger prints. Not one print has been found. The roundup of suspects has produced some unusual cases. One mumbo jumbo character brought from the wastes of Kingsbury Run had adorned himself with beads and ornaments. He had discovered a secret formula, he told officers, for transplanting human heads. The investigators lost interest in him when it was revealed he had been in prison while some of the murders occurred. Another suspect, long sought but never caught,' lived on a street bordering the run. His favorite recreation was performing Tarran style acrobatics on a 40 foot hand cable car of his own construction. lie had dug a tunnel for what purpose police did not know and as a pastime he indulged in strangling rabbits and rats with his hands.

Wedgwood produced his'gold luster as early ax 1776 and hissilver in 1780. His lusterware is distinguished by the high quality 'of the body. This was essential to a surface free from roughness and is a mark of fineness in all good luster. Spode made luster and it was produced at Leeds, Swansea, Liverpool, ' other Brislington-- . and places.' Though usually considered in the class of antiques, most of the English lusterware dates from 'about 1C20 to 1840. The lustrous effects, relates a writer in the Los Angeles Times, were obtained on earthenware and porcelain by the application of a thin glaze of some metallic oxide. The process is a very ancient one which-somauthorities say originated with the Persians. The art was rediscovered in the Eighteenth century by the Staffordshire potters, and provided a new form of decoration which at once become very popular. Credit is usually to John Hancock of the Derby factory as the originator of English luster. It waS not long, however, before the potters not only in the Staffordshire district but in the northern districts as well were decorating their pottery in this manner. The variety of decorative effects in lusterware is very great. They may include narrow bands, mottled effects, classical figures in white relief, reverse panels in which drawings or inscriptions are transfer-printed over the glaze.
