AHORNEY LYON FAINTS IN COURT
John Lyon, has been invited by District Attorney Charles II Weeks, to appear before the Grand Jury at Mineola thin week to name two pub¬ lic offlcials whom Lyon, jn a jKiliti- <al speech at Rockville Centre charg¬ ed with plundering the Hempstead jKjrtion of the County Roads fund.
Mr. Lyon has accepted the iiivita- 'ion on condition tbat he bc "iinhamp- ri'd in the endeavor to piesent the f.-icts". He has further announced to .Mr. Weeks Ihat the investigation ijiust not be condiuted wih a feather •aister. and that no whitewash must I'C held in readiness "to make pure ¦what is impure". Di.iitrict Attorney Weeks has olTered to assist Mr. Lyon by subpenaing whatever witnesses may be necessary.
In the Rockville Cantre speech ¦which started the developments, .Mr. Lyon was quoted as saying:
"The time is coming when .Nassau ' ounly will have a district attorney '>»lio will not be afraid to prosecute rt ron'^'doing in ptiblic ofllce. I believe Irdnt my jier.sonal knowledge of the public affairs of .Nassau County that one or mort f)f its officials are guilty '>f a misdemeanor a nd possibly a felony."
The District .Attorney at once \^•rote TO him, saying that he would be glad to present lo the Grand Jury any evi¬ .lence ot any crime whatsoever coui- i.'iitted by any official of .Nassau Coun- ty or by any other person. .Mr. Lyon ill reply, asked v\hellier the District .Attorney's letter was an invitation for bim to appear i)ersonally before the ¦•irand Jury, and expressed bis will¬ ingness to do so. Mr. W(>eks assured nim that it was an invitation
The news caiis«>d much comment in TM/litical circles. It is believed that lie will name Sur>eivl8or Hiram R. .-^mth I.nd Controller Earle J. BtMinett :ind that his charKc will he the pay- i.ng out of 1017's budget for lOlC's roads. .Mr. Lyon has been attacking 'hem frequent ly of late for doing this und il is believed that 1 '¦" pro .¦ their ,'ict a niisdcm(>anoi
paign some- matters might t>e laid before them "which" are not flo meri¬ torious,"
When court opened Mr. Lyon waa on hand, ready to appear at once be¬ fore the Grand Jury. He stood up with the throng in the courtroom while the Grand Jury was being organized and sworn- The formalities complet¬ ed. Ju.Htice Scuddei turned to the Grand Jurors and said:
'The country is now in the heat of an election campaign and probably matters will he laid before you which are not as meritorious as they might bc<"
Just at this juncture Mr. Lyon fainted. He would have fallon to the floor had not .Miss Carolyn Barteau, an attorney, caught him in her arms. Court attendants carried the uncon¬ scious man into the clerk's office and called a doctor, who revived him.
The incident caused oonsiderable commotion in the couitrfiom and Jus-

If the walls and roof of tbe boose I are of flre-reslstant material fnlly 80 per cent of the flre hazard Is overcome, i says the writer of an article on "Com- ! mon Sense Home Building." which is published in the June Is-sne of Con¬ struction. In the Interior it Is not nec- ' essary to eliminate wood from the fln- ! Ishing. There Is no objection to trim on doors and even the floors above the first may be of woeid. The basement should, by all menns, I be cut off from the rest of the hous'e ; by a masonry floor, protected stUlrwuy : and fireproof doors connecting with the flrst floor. Partitions should be of : fire-resistlve material in order to check the rapid sjiread of flumes. In other : words, think of flre us It really Is and use common sense In the construction of the house.
In most localities a house of this type Is credited with a notic<>able re¬ duction In insurance cost. Naturally, too, the cost of maintennnce is re¬ duced, painting and repairs are not necessary. Another saving factor Is the mutter of depreciation. A frume house with wood shingles, built as they are today, will depreciate just three times as quickly as a masoury houae with a comuKjn-sense roof.
! At the ofBce of thr Nassau County j .\s8ociatlon one of the officials denied I that the association had dabbled In I politics or was oppvising Smith on ¦ r>olitical grounds. "We have no ' animus against Mr. Smith." he said.

Put Bones Under Ground.
Most people do not suspect the great fertilizing value there Is in bones. To the ordimiry niiiiiteur giirdener there Is a wide difference between the bone he holds in his hand und the soluble plunt food .so necessary to plant de- vel(;pment. But the fertilizer compa¬ nies know that bones ure the highest- class fertlUz.ers (not counting war prices of potash) .except dried blood. Ground bones sell ut over ,$,'10 a ton wholesale, when other fertilizers sell around ^'20 to ^'2't a ton. The scientilic funm^rs use large Quunlilies of ground bone, even in the growing of such crojis us wheat, corn and oats. Ke- meinber this next spring.
