After many years of agitating, planning, bickering and otherwise mulling over the problem, the city has finally cut loose with measures definitely designed to elimi nate two of the plague spots with modern bousing developments and is turning over a third with a view to early action of some kind. At least two other projects are under consideration. The five enterprises look to the expenditure of something like $75,000,000 on up to date, fireproof, sanitary housing to provide cheap rental living quarters to replace the rat infested, By Miriam J.

The total estimated investment in the buildings will therefore be $9,289. 708. The published value of $12,789. 708 for the development was explained recently as including a figure ol $3,500,000 to represent the value of the city leasehold. Another slum elimination project that is looking up in spite of the depression is that known as the Rutgers town plan, which involves the proposed expenditure of some $40,000,006 in a model housing development on the East side, just below Manhattan white-colla- rock-botto- s The development plan includes an interior park and roof playgrounds Each building Is to be a separate unit 12 stories high Backers of the project are withholding a start of opera tions, pending action on their application for tax exemption. The Hillside Housing corporation has the plans all drawn for a big housing project to wipe out a slum area in the Bronx, but there has been some hitch in its plans for wheedling a $4,000,000 loan out of the Reconstruction Finance corporation and the enterprise is not going so well Other projects in a more or less nebulous state look to the elimination of slum areas in Brooklyn and Queens Beekeeping Swarming should be modernized as much as any other branch of beekeeping. The old method of climbing into the top, of a tree with a basket at the risk of being severely stung or being Injured by falling from the tree, should be a thing of the past The risks taken in such case 8 far outweigh the value of the swarm. Swarming can be largely controlled by modern methods of better management The percentage of colonies that attempt to swarm Is. greatly reduced by clipping the wings of queens prior to the swarming season. Those who cannot be present when swarms issue, in which case clipped queens may be e lost, may put a trap over the entrance for a few days when a colony is found preparing to swarm. The best policy, however, is to treat such colonies so that no swarms will issue. This Is done either by making an artificial swarm or by removing the queen.

An apparently genuine death warrant. issued June 10, 1692, for one Rebecca Nurse, a Salem witch. Is owned by Mertz. The warrant has been authenticated by the Massachusetts Historical society and by William F. Warren, curator of the Boston museum. It possesses signatures of Cotton Mather, the Indian King Philip, and other notables of the time. The X" signature of King Philip makes the document especially valuable, as there are said to be only seven of these original X marks in existence. Rebecca Nurse was considered somewhat of a neighborhood menace in and about Salem. According to the charges set forth in the warrant, she caused the death of some forty fowl and several swine Rebecc was not satisfied with picking on thr fowl and swine, but carried her work further by cutting with an ax the Wench Pituba," a member of King Philips tribe Several mysterious fires In haystacks were laid at her by the neck on a high hill noon so that all might see.
