Evening Post from Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England • 6

A 15-INCH BLOOM. DOUBTING THOMAS" PAYS FOB TWO BITTERS. HUNGERIIILL CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Two gardeners, two tankards of bitter," and a chrysanthemum measuring 15 inches across, were the characters in a Nottingham hostelry one night. The 6ubject under discussion was the chrysanthemum, which we are told was introduced into England from Ohina about 1790.

One of the gardeners, who, by the way, successfully cultivates the bloom on the Hungerhill allotments, remarked that he possessed a specimen of the Edith Cavell was not suitable for exhibition nnrnoses because it was Hat measured 15 inches across. The statement was not credited. A couple of tankards cf bitter were mentioned, and the unbelieving Thomas" had to pay out, which ho readily did when he had seen a rule put across the top of the bloom. For his edification he was told that another gardener had produced a Louisa Pockett chrysanthemum which measured 17 inches in diameter! it could not be shown in competition because it was flat." Will either of these blooms be equalled at the 24th annual show of the Nottingham and District Summer Flowering Chrysanthemum Society to be held on Saturday, Sunday and Monday at tho' Adjutant White, Hungerhill-road, to be opened by the Lord Mayor (Alderman A. R.

Atkey) on the evening of the first of these days? We doubt it. Following the long dry spell came what chrysanthemum growers call tilth and fly" In a number of cases the fly smothered the bloom and checked the growth of plants grown out of doors. Fumigation is all right for those grown indoors, hut the proposition is an entirely different one Mi respect to chrysanthemums grown in the open. It must not be thought that there will be a dearth of fine blooms. These Hungerhill gardeners aro past masters at their jobs, they are alive to ail sorts of wheezes and dodges.

Like good bridge players they make tho best of a bad hand." The show, in which there will be a record number of entries, will be an eye-opener to newcomers, and probably to those who have patronised it in previous years. Mr. L. Gluckstein is replacing the challenge cup which was won outright last year by P.c. Hopper, who registered three wins in four SCN HACKED TO DEATH.

RUSSIAN PRIEST'S TRIAL IN A CIRCUS. In the middle of the ring at Kieff Circus, the limelight blazing full on him, a vensrablelooking, grey-bearded monk. Archdeacon Sekhune, from the world-famous Kievo-PetcVrskaia Monastery, quietly told an audience of 3,000 workers how he had killed ono of his mistresses, a 28-year-old nun, named Barichnikova, cut her up with a hatchet, and thrown her into the sewers. It was the opening day of the latest "show trial which is given the utmost publicity by the Bolshevik authorities to expose the Russian "scarlet woman." Another of Archdeacon Sekhune's mistresses, a former Mother Superior, named Varonnova, shares the improvised circus-dock with him. She is charged with inciting him to murder through jealousy and then helping him to dispose of the body; but he swears sho knew nothing of the crime.

At a red table towards one side of the from which the sawdust has been temporarily three solemn proletarian judges, with the prosecuting attorneys opposite. The death sentence is expected for Archdeacon Bekhune. ATTEMPTED MURDER TO CONCEAL MURDER. WOMAN REATEN AND ORDERED TO COMMIT SUICIDE. Allegations that her lover forced her to attempt to commit suicide because he had told her the secret of a 15 years old murder, were made by Madame Dupon, a Lyons woman, to the police yesterday, after she had been saved from drow ing in the Saone.

The woman alleged, says the "Petit Parisien that her lover, named Gu.ot, had beaten her anc ordered her to commit suicide. She had told neighbour that she would jump from a windo but decided eventually to throw herself in tie Saone- The Lyons police are making Investigations in her statement regarding the supposed murder. OFFERING DRINKS TO DRIVERS rTAXIMEN URGE THAT IT SHOULD RE MADE AN OFFENCE. Taxi-cab drivers welcome the recently-formec Pedestrians' Association to safeguard the righ interests of the walking public. The current issue of their trade organ, "Th Green Badge Journal," says: "The taxi trace is tiie least to blame for this slaughter, and would welcome the coming of this association i they would clear the roads of the hogs.

The most interesting, and, in our opinion best suggestion, is that it should be made punishable offence to offer or supply intoxicatin liquor to drivers of motor charabancs or publ service vehicles. The number of drivers who been ruined through the misplaced gencrosit of passengers must be considerable." MAY LOSE HER SIGHT. RESULT OF LADY HEATH'S AIR CRASH. Lady Heath, who is still in hospital at Cleve land (Ohio) is now stated to be in danger losing her sight as a result of her recent crash. JLady Heath, tho famous British airwoman who this year took out American nationalisation papers, was taking part in an air race when sh nose-dived on to a factory roof at Cleveland.

She was so seriously injured that the doctor at first feared she would not recover, but so fa she has made a remarkable fight for life. FATAL BOAST. GUEST SEVERS ARTERY DURING REVELRY. While attending a party at Lure, in the Haute- Saone Department of France, last night, at which wine had flowed freely, one of the guests, named Jean Blanc, boasted that he was not afraid of death.

EDITOR'S LETTER BAG. I Speed of BrsES. I should like to draw attention to the speed of tho buses on No. 10 and No. 20 routes.

During tho timo these buses were allowed a reasonable time to get from place to place, passengers could Ret on wmle tho bus was at a stand. Now we are expected to get on while the bus is still on the Work for the Unemployed. I should like to know why the Council aro holdi ln up works for tho relief of unemployment i nnl winter sets in. Why don't they get a move I on now and let at least some of us get away from the Castic-boulcvard establishment I for one begin to hate the place, and the thoughts of having to go there every other day. Why not Wlth the work.

The weakness is in front ot goal, and the committee will only remedy this by playing this team: Dexter; Thompson, Graham; McKmlay, Harrison, Cameron; Dickenson, Heathcock, Heslop and N. Thompson. Gates. At the end of last season the Forest team won almost match after match. Why in the world do not tho Committee play that team? After a couple of matches Heathcock, the man who scored most of the goals, is dropped.

Burton, the substitute, is an outside left, and should be played there, not in the centre, where he endeavours to do too much on his own, and forgets his other forwards. Morton appears to lack tho necessary enthusiasm, and Heslop lies too far back to be of much use to the forward line. lam not writing to discourage, as I feel certain that tho management have good material if they would only use it in the right way. Leave the defence tho following forward line, and give it a chance to settle down: Stocks, Dickinson, Heathcock, Norman Thompson, and Voiceless Ratepayers. Mr.

Matthews states that I havo not convinced him of the need of a Ratepayers' Protection Association. Perhaps I have convinced others, but as ho broaches a part of the question that most unthinking people will swaliow, I will enlarge on it. Mr. Matthews states that a candidate, "irrespective of party, places before tho electorate a policy which, if returned, he will endeavour to put into operation." I will admit that ratepayers send councillors to represent them. Yes, but what a choice! We have to have what each of the different parties puts up as representative, and most electors vote for his or her "party," and tne moat vital question of "competency to govern" does not arise.

How many councillors has Mr. Matthews, myself, and others known, whoso aoie recommendation is the "gift of the gab," and it is often a question of picking the best of a bad lot. No councillor, nor anyone else, can foresee the problems that will arise in his three years' of office. Yet ratepayers blindly give him a mandate fo rule them for three years, and virtually present him with a blank cheque, and he pays K. I maintain that on all vital matters, whero largo sums of money are concerned, and where a longstanding custom has been in vogue, i.e., such as abolishing "Goose Fair," the mass of ratepayers should bo consulted beforehand, and not merely bo told to foot the bill.

When an individual householder "fancies" a new thing the first question ho asks himself is. "Can I afford it." Yet the City Council never asks the ratepayers if they consider they can aiford the new spending scnemes they are continually setting on foot. Mr. Matthews surely knows that loyalty to his party is the first consideration of a councillor. His partj would soon drop him if he did not uphold thenparticular political opinion.

No other ruling body in the country has the same power as the City Council. They all have an judges, directors of firss. It is not only the City Council that an "Association" would control, but profiteers, combines, and dealers in necessities. One point Mr. Matthews has overlooked is this.

A successful candidate is pitchforked" on to a committee that ho may know nothinjr about, and he has to servo his apprenticeship at an age when most people retire. A manager of a private firm has been a lifetime learning his business, yet we get men who have had no previous knowledge whatever, serving on several committees that control highly specialised trades.

The eve red or bloodshot, there is a swelling of the conjunctiva, and there is a discharge for a few days. Both sides are usually affected.

ATLANTIC GATE-CRASHERS." AMERICA TO LONDON AND BACK FOR £5. The old style stowaway is much easier to detect and deal with than the up-to-date Atlantic gate-crasher" who, well-dressed and confident, mixes freely with the other passengers as if he is a regular fare." Ono of these audacious tricksters has described with pride how he travelled from New York to London and back, and had an enjoyable time in London on an expenditure of less than iIS. He boarded an American liner in New York, and discovered that owing to the heat many passengers wero sleeping in deck chairs. He followed their example, and thus passed the nights in saiety and comfort. The problem of meals he solved by boldly taking up a position in the queue when seats in the third-class dining-room were being allotted.

He obtained a place, and stuck to it for the rest of the voyage. Even the train journey from Southampton to London cost him nothing, for, by a trick, he gained possession of a fellow passenger's ticket. He spent five days in London, where he made visits to several theatres, for none of which he paid. At the conclusion of his stay he simply walked out of his hotel without settling his bill. He was not quite so successful on the return journey, for ho had grudgingly to pay his fare to Southampton, where he slipped aboard a White Star liner.

He occupied a bed in an empty cabin, and went unsuspected for most of the voyage, but was eventually spotted by a steward, whom he silenced by a promise of a substantial tip. Thus the only expenses he incurred were the ticket to Southampton and a bribe to the steward, his total bill for his European trip amounting to little moro than 20 dollars. ONLY ONE CHANGE.

RESTORING DEAD TO LIFE. REMARKABLE CLAIM BY HEART SPECIALIST. After two years of intensive? laboratory research, a Sydney (N.S.W.) heart specialist has succeeded in perfecting a portablo device which will restore tho dead to life.

The chief feature of the invention is a special electric needle which is plunged into the heart of tho dead person, and thereby restores animation. Using direct current, the needle may be operated from an ordinary wall plug. A practical experiment has been made on a stillborn baby which had been apparently dead nearly a quarter of an hour, and on which all the ordinary methods of resuscitation had failed. The application of the needle restored life, and the child is still living. In tho case of adults, however, the inventor does not claim that his needle will prove successful when death has occurred more than ten or twelve minutes before its application, nevertheless it? value in cases of drowning, stillbirth, or sudden death, apart from its uses in hospitals, is obvious.
