FLYING INSOMNIA SURE
Physician Prescribes Flight in Air
plane; Two Patients Are Delighted
Philadelphia, Aug.' 20.?The air
plane now is being used as a phy
sician'. Or at least a flight in one is
said to be a cure for insomnia ami
depression. That is the newest devel
opment of nerve theraputics. Dr.
Thomas E. Eldridge the veteran bal
loonist is sponsor for the treatment.
Yesterday he gave a demonstration
of its effectiveness at the Hatboro
FHyin-g Fidld of the Philadelphia Aero
Service Corporation using former
Flight Lieutenant E. C. Davis, an
aviator, as the "flying nurse."
The patiemts were Mrs. Harry Hum
phreys, of this city, an insomnia vic
tim, and her son ,H*rry Humphreys,
Jr., who is a nervous wreck as a con
sequence cf an attack of influenza.
Nearly half an hour in the air was
'the time of treatment. Some of it
was nerve tingling for "Nurse" Davis
took his patients into loops and tail
spins and nose dives and other aerial
acrobatics. When he landed them Mrs.
Humphreys was delighted beyond
measure with her expsnen'ce and
pecially with "the first smile on
Harry's face in months."
GAZE UPON DEAD VICTIMS
Chicago Justice Insists They Visit
Morgue in Psychological Effort
To Cure Their Craze
Chicago, Aug. 20.?Judge Stclk, of
the Speeders' Court, has evolved a
new punishment to harrow the heart
of the reckless auto driver. He sen
tenced eight men up for speeding to
be taken through the county mojrue
and hospital to gaze on the dead and
maimed victims of automobile drivers.
"Two hundred more wil lbe dead he
fore the first of the year," said the
Judjre, "if reckless driving continue?
as it ha sin the past.
"I'm going to keep sending you of
fenders who come to me time aftei
time out to the morgue and the h- ?
pital. If those sights don't touch your
heant-s nothing will. I think that (.
little psychology may do more than
all the fines I can impose; even the
most outrageus violators of the speed
regulations must be touched with the
sights of the suffering faces of some
of these little children."
The men protested and pleaded to
have the fines, assessed.
"No'' replied the Judge. "I will
postpone your'- trial until after you
make this trip. My minute, clerk is in
bed in plaster casts now due to reck
less driving."
In the morgue -^the subdued drivers
saw the body of a dead child which
had been mangled by a machine. The
body of another child had just he-.*.:
taken home.
Warden Zimmer, of the county hos
pital, showed them fifteen torture:!
victims of automobile drivers, several
of whom will never get well. A scri
ms and unhappy party adjourn
ter the trip.

OPENS THE W
FOR OVMBE
i
President Tells Senators
There Are No Reason
able Objections
MAY END THE FIGHT
Executive Makes Clear, However, Thai
He Will Oppose Textual Changes in
Treaty
President Wilson paved th>? way
yesterday for a compromise with the
Senate on the treaty of peace with
Germany when he told the member.?
of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations that "there can be n > r .
sonable objections to such interpre
tations accompanying the act cf
ratification, provided they do no!
fcrm a part of the ratification it
self."
This frank statement was made r.:
the opening of the conference be
tween the President and the Commit
tee yesterday morning, a conf:re;ice
which will become historic if its ulti
mate result is an understanding be
tween the Executive and the Senate
upon one of the momentous questions
whveh the American Government has
ever faced.
Nor did the President content him
self with this invitation to the Sen
ate to meet h:m half way up >n an
agreement as to the American un
derstanding of the league of nations
covenant. During the questioning
which followed he repeated his will
ingness to have such an under stand
ins: set forth in forma! fashion.
Hut this :s not to be taken as :
willingness on his part to accept any
amendment to the peace treaty, any
textual chanige whatever, or even any
qualification of that document which
necessitates its re-submission either
to the peace conference or to any or
all cf the signatories for their ap
proval. The President thinks it would
be a mistake to take any such step.
All that the President feels that i'.'
will be safe to do in that direction is
to pass an accompanying resolution
which will give this Government's
interpretation cf its obligations un
dei the disputed articles of the lea
gue. These articles' include that pro
viding for the withdrawal of a -mi-Ti
bcr nation after two years' noticc
has been given, and Articles 10 and 11
which seem to impose upon every
member the duty of safeguarding the
territory interests of every other
against external aggression.
And it now remains for the Senate
to dceide whether or not the invita
tion of the President is to be accepted
or whether the demand of Senators
Lodge and Knox for straightout
amendments to the league covenants,
is to, bo followed. Meanwhile the com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, having ex
tn.cted from the President all the in
formation that its members hav?
asked for collectively and individuals.
will meet and formulate a report.
It is too soon to forecast the action
(-f that committee, but from impres
sions gained today the majority mem
bers are inclined to relax their rig; ?
opposition to the peace treaty as it
stands and to seek some means of
meeting the offer of the President
for mild reservations entirely remov
ed from the resolution of ratification.

SLAYERS DIE MISERABLY
Farmer's Throe Heartless Murderers
Lcse Nerve at Electrocution
Trentcn., Aug. 20.?At the State
prison last night Frank Lavieri, Mich
ael Dcpalma and Gereno Palemri paid
!he death penalty .in the electric chair
for the murder of Roman Smith, an
acred fanner, at h:s home near New
Brunswick in 1918. Every effort was
made to save the murderers. Gover
nor Runycn refused to call a special
session cf the Court of Pardons to
consider commutation of sentences be
cause Chancellor Walker informed
him that the murder was an excep
tionally cruel and cold blooded one.
As one of the men was taken past
the cell of Camille Martin, awaiting
electrocution for ;thc- murder of a
ewark jeweler Martin yelled at tin
ckath guard: "You ou<?ht to I12
ashamed cf yourselves.''
Each of the murderers lost his nerve
at the last minute. Two had to be
helped to the death chair, and the
third was actually carried by the
guards. This was Lavieri, who butted
his head acrainst his cell as the watch
vent for him. He collapsed completely
ar.tl the guards picked him up bodily
and carricd him. face down. As he was
strapped into the chair he quieted
down and gave up without further
sccae. From the time the first of ilv
three men entered the electrocution
chamber until the last was pronounced
dead just 2f> minutes lapsed.

"BIGGEST SALE EV
HELD" IS VERS!
.? I
Merchants of City Are Very
Enthusiastic Over First
* "Dollar Day"
WANT SALES OFTEIS
May Arrange For Bargain Events
Every Two Months During Entire
Year.
Dollar Day, Alexandria's first de
parture in the way cf a universal bar
gain sale is over, but that it will be
a day which will be long remember-1
od by the merchants and the shopping j
public of the city, is evidenced by
t$; many expressions of satisfac-1
tion with the day, from every mer
chant participating in the sale.
Opinions expressed this morning by
many of the merchants participating
in the sale were to the effect that the
sale should be repeated at least four
times each year. Others were of the
opinion that a change in the name of
ihe sale would give the public a much
greater opportunity to purchase what
ever articles they wished at greatly
reduced prices. Whether this plan will
be carried out or not rests with the
interested merchants ami they will no
doubt have an opportunity to express
opinions in the near future.
Not a merchant included in the sale
had a word to say against the sale
when spoken to by a representative of
?the Gazette today. Some of the'va
rious opinions are included: below,
and every other man, who made* pre
parations for the sale is enthusiastic
over the outcome and has agreed to
take part at any time other sales of
this nature may be scheduled.

"Dollar Day has been much beti-v
than we expected."
Mr. Iiorgan, Mgr. D. Bendheim ;?nd

Mr. Julius Wolf?"Dollar Day has

Chester, Pa., Aug. 20.?Never, in

Many persons burn various forms
of herbs on their porches and
their houses as well to drive away
?the mosquito but .this remedy is
