PETERSBURG, VA., May 13—A shocking murder took place here today, when Eddie Barber a colored man 35 years of age, in a raging passion shat and killed his wife, Sarah, she being 30 years of age. He had been at work all day and returning home was angered by the actions of his wife, the exact description of which has not been furn shed. Frenzied by his own act he then shot himself with the result that he died almost instantly. The coroner investigated the affair, but there was nothing to do as both principals to the tragedy were dead. Conditions are puzzling and the colored people 'n the neighborhood are much concerned about the mat-
George Preston President of the Wall Street Beneficial Club died Saturday afternoon after an operation at St. Phillips Hospital. His funeral took place at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. R. V. Peyton officiating.
President John T. Taylor is slowly improving. He has no use of his left side, but is able to be propped up in bed and supported at times in a chair in his room. His mind is clear and he accepts his condition philosophically, being surprisingly cheerful.

Judge T. Gray Haddon decided to try the case of James Alston, colored charged with violating the segregation ordinance by moving into the house at 2200 East Marshall Street and the City Attorney and counsel for the accused were notified to be in the Police Court Saturday, May 11 1929. Alston was not present. Assistant City Attorney, Lucius Cary and Attorney J. R. Pollard were present. Judge Haddon said that he had stated that in view of the interest taken, that unless he was thoroughly convinced that the ordinance was not constitutional he wished a test case made of this. The City Attorney believed that it is constitutional and wanted an opportunity to have it tested. He thought he was entitled to this and he would accordingly assess the minimum fine and let it go up on an appeal. Assistant City Attorney Cary wanted Alston brought to court at once, but Judge Haddon ruled otherwise. He told Attorney Pollard that he could have ten days in which he could have an appeal and when this was done, he could come into court with Alston, give bond and thus perfect the aforesaid appeal. This was recorded as satisfactory.

BEAUTIFUL HOPE HAMPTON IS CHARMING "MIMI"
Hope Hampton, costumed for the role of "Mimi," in La Boheme. In this difficult part she won the plaudits of the critics who at first were skeptical of the former film star's ability as a singer. What they heard led to the rare honor of comparison with Geraldine Farrar in that role. Hope Hampton has a rich soprano voice, real beauty, and has been well trained in the art of the drama. She surprised her public when she made her bow in Grand Opera with the Philadelphia Grand Opera Company in the role of "Manon". (Herbert Photos, N. Y.)
Modern Germany tells its future mothers to get out of the kitchen into the sunshine. The fraulein of today is different from her sister of prewar days. Today, she holds her, own in the field of sports and is, as a matter of fact patterning herself as closely as she can to the American girl shown in the movies. The German girl of today in dress, figure and deportment is an entirely new creature in an environment the like of which was unheard of a decade ago. The photo shows a group of schoolgirls going thru part of their regular physical training, (Herbert, N.Y.)

CHICAGO—Trading in securities at the Chicago board of trade should again lift Chicago to the front rank in volume of business among American exchanges, it was stated today by Samuel P. Arnot, president.
Until 1925, he made known, the annual "dollars and cents" volume at the board was the largest of any exchange in this country, taking into consideration the number of trading bases. Since 1925 the enormous increase in securities trading has changed the situation. But now stocks and bonds will be added to the great central market where trading in grain futures by interests representing many countries of the world has stabilized and adapted to enhance prices to the benefit of the farmer.
ONE DAY AN AWFUL RAIN CAME AND THERE WAS A DITCH IN THE BACK YARD FILLED WITH WATER WITH A PLANK ACROSS IT. THE POOR FISH FOLLOWED ME ACROSS IT PART WAY BUT IT WAS TOO SUPPERY FOR THEM, THEY LOST THEIR BALANCE AND FELL IN
BOSS
"And it is reasonable to assume that the addition of a securities market will restore the board of trade to its former position." Mr. Arnot mentioned.
Added strength is given this statement by the record of the securities market of the New York produce exchange, now four months old, where a single day's trading has just passed the 100,000-share mark.
It is being freely predicted in La Salle that the board of trade's securities market will exceed a 500,000-share mark daily within the first six months.
The private wire system of the board is counted an important asset in Chicago's climb to its former high rank in trade volume. Texas alone has forty-five towns and cities connected by wire with the exchange and its position to do so is much

for the success of the board's cotton market. In slightly more than four years, cotton has become an imposing commodity of trade in Chicago.
A map, just completed, shows forty-five states reached by the board's network of wires. Among states, only Idaho, Nevada and Vermont are without the chain.
Of 830 cities and towns that are touched, 226 are served exclusively by the board of trade. There are 82 cities and towns in Canada with wire connections from the exchange. Through export, a board of trade has been established in China, America, India, Japan, China and Australia.
Illinois and other Grain Delta states, whose crop growers have received market information since the first wire was installed, are thickly studded with points of contact.

TAD IS DEAD.'
I LOVE DEBENTURE PLAN.
WANTED, ANOTHER EDISON.
A "WANT AD."
"Tad" Dorgan is dead. Millions knew him. He analyzed human nature in pictures, as well as Dickens' in words.
Stricken by heart disease, knowing that he might die at any moment, he continued working cheerfully and died in his sleep.
He worked as a boy, in a mill, to support his mother and younger children. When his right hand was mutilated, in an accident, he drew pictures with his left hand.
A Heist editor asked him to come from San Francisco to New York to double the salary he was paid. He replied, "I have my mother and my kid brothers and sisters. I didn't leave them."
He invited to bring them all East at his Heist's expense, he cane and established a reputation throughout the whole country.
Senate may put through the "relief" rebate debursement plan in spite of the President's protest. That is good news for middlemen. They would buy farm products, export them and get a bonus on exported products. The farmer would get the bonus if he could ship wheat or cotton direct to Liverpool. But he cannot do that. It is "hoped that giving a bonus to exporting middlemen will "automatically" increase prices paid the farmer.
Sills hope. Paying the middleman two cents a quart for milk will increase the four or five cents a quart paid the farmer.
However, the debursement bond would put money in circulation even if it did the farmer no direct good. Also it would add to the rich man's treasury and make that resourceful gentleman say to himself, "I must take up a way to solve that farm trouble."
Governors of various States are
operating with Thomas A. Edison,
sing among boys of today, "Edi-
sion successor." That boy, when he
found, will find himself.
To develop Edison, one among
hundreds of millions, many in-
vents, including poverty and nee-
w were necessary.
the next Edison is somewhere, on
arm, or in the city.
It pays to get a good job and attend to it. And it pays to advertise. Twenty-two years ago Dr. Crawford very young, in a "want ad," and goes on as stenographer with Mr. Carry, the president of the Pullman Company. Yesterday, the Pullman Company directors, intelligently promoting one of their own men, close Dr. Crawford to succeed Mr. Carry, as president.

The rising generation may be all
right, but the members of it have a
necular way of showing it.
Telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth seems to be a "Post art" in this country at the present time.
Heaven may be right here in our midst according to the opinion of some people and if it is the other place is mightly mixed up with these same surroundings.
Colored folks have been oppressed and persecuted for centuries. Now the white folks are experiencing the same treatment at the hands of many of their own race of people. ..
President Herbert Hoover is now experiencing the disruption of the Republican Party in the U. S. Senate, but it will be nothing to the disruption awaiting him with the rank and file of the Republican Party in this country.
The "wild-cat" colored person is more to be feared than the "wild-cat" white one. Every act of a colored person is magnified by our white enemies and every act of a white person is minimized by this same class of people.
White folks, who have an antipathy to colored folks should be avoided by the latter and white folks who favor colored folks should be approached in a manner so as to increase that favor.

Pouring grape-juice from an unique hand-blown bottle—One of the types used in storing of grape juice.
FOR Checker Cab Service Call Boul. 6644
The little brown jug for molasses and the tall-necked bottle for vinegar were made for utility first and then for inspiration to the poets. The shapes of bottles aren't the mere whims of the bottle-blower. For would you believe it, the character of those bottles has most to do with the character of what is in them. The vinegar simply wouldn't do for millets and what's sauce to a wide-necked container isn't the same sauce in another kind of bottle.
"The size and shape of a bottle often has most to do with the flavor and the proper preservation of the liquid in it." H. I. King chief of its industry of the Witch Glaze Juice Company of Westfield, New York said, "The vinegar can not put new grapes in its bottles—but the flavor will not sustain the same uniform quality or color for the same length of time that will in the new bottles.

"It has taken thirty years to find the ideal storing bottle for grape juice—a bottle which will keep the juice at the proper color for the greatest length of time, and distribute it to the grape. When grape juice was first manufactured country, we used a old type of hand-brown, rounded five-gallon bottle. These were very decorative, perfectly proportioned from the artistic standpoint, but it was found they lacked uniformity, and hence could not be used for the mass storing of grape juice. "Squire cornered machine-made bottles were tried next, but the square cornered factory was not found necessary for keeping the true flavor of Concors. Now a bottle shaped like a stove-pipe is used. It holds the maximum of flavor in the juice and preserves it in the most satisfactory manner."

LIFE A MYSTERY
Take the delightful uncertainty, the guess-work, the "gamble,"
If you'd call it that,—take these elements out of life, and life loses
interest.
The mystery of tomorrow—who would have it otherwise? The
uncertainty of what may happen—how seductive! I would not
know the future if I could; the hope that it be bright arouses all
the faith of which I am capable; and life without faith is but dull
drab mean existence.
Why, the few things we are reasonably sure of in the future are the very things that bring dread. We don't like to think about death, sorrowing mourners, and the like—so we turn hurriedly to dreams—to hopes of eternal life; and right there, the mystery holds a world of comforting reassurances.
I certainly don't want to know exactly what will happen tomorrow, next week, next year; I might not sleep well tonight, or for nights to come. I prefer the amorous dream of golden possibility, that tempers me to combat possible disaster, like the loss of a small bet in life's great game of chance.
Good men and women have committed suicide to escape calamities which they felt sure would come. Ah, they were not sure. Nobody can be absolutely sure of the future, or what it may bring—and that's a mighty comforting fact, it seems to me, to tuck away in one's bosom especially if he has tendencies to see only the dark side of things.
I have no use for the "fortune-teller," or for any one who claims ability to peer into hidden realms and make forecasts for me. To accept life with its entrancing uncertainties, its inspiriting gambles, its happy conflicts—to win some of its ten thousand victories—to overcome evil with good—what better doctrine than that?

There may be obscene passages in the Bible, but the public reading of does not constitute a violation of the law, Justice T. Gray Haddon led yesterday in Police Court. After Policeman G. W. Burruss cited that he had arrested G. A. Simmons, elderly Negro, for using language and, worse—from the officer's standpoint—refusing to deft when ordered by Burruss to do Simmons unfolded a Bible, placed on the judge's desk, and said: "Your Honor, I took my text from the 22nd chapter of Revelations."

The trial was set for October 28, 1928, at which Officer Burroughs was acquitted of first degree murder. The Times-Dispatch misspelled the policeman's name. At the hearing of Rev. G. A. Simmons, who was arrested at Brook Avenue and Monroe Street, in the Police Court, the colored attorney, J. Thomas Hewin, appeared for Simmons with the announced satisfactory result. What would the late Rev. John Jasper have said about this action? He was noted for his arduity and ability in preaching from the Book of Revelations. Of all the persons in the world, it seems to us that Burroughs was about the last one to specify just that passage of the Scriptures should be read to the colored folks
of this city.
Rev. Simmons was within his rights and he seems to have known its rights. We cannot for the life of us understand why Walter B. Burroughs, in view of his antipathy to colored folks, better known to him as "niggers," should have been assigned to a colored neighborhood, where he would come in direct contact with this class of people. It may have been that he could not and the prickings of his own confidence. He could have moved on to the other place on his beat, especially in view of the fact that, as Judge Haddon says, the matter came directly under the supervision of his own superior officer, Chief R. B. Burroughs.
We hope that it may be possible to transfer Officer Burroughs to an exclusive white neighborhood. But what about that 22nd chapter of Revelations? It is one of the most sublime parts of that Book of Books. Here it is:
1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there a tree of life, which bare twelve manners of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse; but the throne of God and the Lamb shall be in it; and his will shall serve him:
4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no night here; and they need no candle, either light of the sun; for the Lord giveth them light; and they shall reign forever and ever. 6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true; and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent

Sin cannot go unpunished and this punishment can be corrective rather than penal. Every effort had been made by Jeremiah to induce them to change their manner of living and so avert the Captivity which must come to them because of their continuing sins.
Chapters 30-33 have a totally different tone from the harsh messages which this weeping prophet had been delivering. He had been talking with them as a nation. Now reference is made to the personal life which each individual should maintain and so receive blessings in accord with the right or wrong personally committed. Such a message was especially encouraging to those in the nation who were standing with Jeremiah in his efforts to have the people as a whole change their ways. There are always many good people who do not yield to the pressure of a majority who may be eager to do evil. They protest by word and life Jeremiah's changed message must have given them great joy and encouraged them to continue faithful unto the Jehovah of blessings.
The belief in the influence of heredity had been all but fatalistic. The day was coming when sour grapes eaten by the parents would no longer set the children's teeth on edge. Each was to be held responsible for his own deeds and therefore would have an individualistic chance. In the past the covenant had emphasized tribal and national relationships. The good must suffer with the evil as Babylonian bondage impended. God's goodness should have induced all to do better. Very tenderly they are reminded of the graciousness of Jehovah in leading them out of Egyptian bondage and establishing them in the Land of Promise. The symbol of a husband was used to suggest how loving the Father had always been to them.
In the past attention had been called to the use of forms whereby one would approach to the throne. Observance of these had failed in keeping the people in step with the onward moving God. The new covenant looks toward an entrioning of Him in the heart of each believer and follower. It is akin to the teaching of Paul: "Christ in you, the hope of glory." In their heart will I write it" is the very intimate statement of the prophet.
A broader outreach is proposed for the bounty of the All-Father. The promises had been to Abraham and Moses, both personally and with reference to the Chosen People. Now the promise in the new covenant is to be as extensive as is humanity. "Neighbor" always had a limitation. At the last it did not extend very far beyond the Twelve Tribes. The future horizon of covenant blessing was to be a world brotherhood. "For they shall tell me, from the least of them even unto the greatest." Promise is as extensive as the promise of fellowship. All this was fulfilled as recorded by John who declared "For the law was given for the Lord, and truth came through Jesus Christ."

THE TEST OF A GOOD SUNDAY
SCHOOL.
Sunday Schools are judged by many standards. Commonly people form their opinion of a school from the building in which it is held, from its size, the order of its sessions, its organization, its popularity in the community or by a combination of some of these or similar standard. There is only one supreme test of a goal Sunday School and that is the personal test. The goal of our work is spiritual. The method is the evangelism of teaching. The measure of our success is in terms of Christian character. Any Sunday School is fulfilling its real purpose to the extent that it is succeeding in leading its members to live lives of obedience and loyalty to the will of tre Heavenly Father and of loving self-denying service to men. If it is doing this, it is a good school. If it is not succeeding in this no matter how big it may be how strong an organization it may possess, or how complete an equipment it may have, it is a failure.

Man Who Has Handled Billions Quits Uncle Sam for Business
Man Who Has Handled Billions Quits Uncle Sam for Business
The man who has handled more dollars in cash than any other man in the world, who reckons gold coin by the ton and currency by the sale and is accustomed to signing warrants for sums running into the hundreds of millions, has resigned from the service of Uncle Sam, after 23 years to enter business.
This man is Frank J. Thiel, who as Assistant Treasurer of the United States has long been in immediate charge of the actual physical handling of Uncle Sam's cash not under the protection of civil service. Thiel has resigned under no less than six presidents. He quits the Treasury to become a member of the New York banking and brokerage firm of M. J. Meehan & Co., one of the largest operators on the New York Stock Exchange, and will be in charge of the company's Washington offices.
With a gun on his hip and with forty-six similarly accoutered secret service men and post office inspectors assisting him. Thiel in August. 1914 supervised the transfer of $50,000,000 in new gold coin from the Philadelphi mint to the New York sub treasury—the largest single movement of gold ever undertaken by the government. Perhaps it was fortunate that this was before the day of Chicago gunmen and machine gun bandits. Anyway, the transfer was made without incident.
The transfer of the $50,000,000—weighing almost one hundred tons—was accomplished in three days. For the first time in the government's history the parcel post was used in transporting gold. Today, however, most gold shipments and all currency shipments by the Treasury are by parcel post.
As Assistant Treasurer. Thiel was co-responsible with the Treasurer—whose duties he often assumed for

six months at a time—for the physical custodianship of the fourteen billion in cash and securities in the treasury bills in Washington. His, also, has been the responsibility for delivering more than two billion dollars in new money each year, to the Federal Reserve banks. Thiel started his business career in Fort Wayne, Indiana, as secretary to W. W. Atterbury, now president of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Atterbury was then master mechanic. He entered the Treasury under Robert Bosedoff and was there since that time has given him a nationwide acquaintanceship among men of finance and with financial institutions.

Sixth Installment
WHAT HAPPENED
The club, of which Tom Billeck, the narrator, Maryella, the girl he cares for, and Jim Cooper, the are members, are to give Lyonism a chance to win. Mr. Heminway, husband of one of the attaches, thinks Billeck is in love with his wife. The escape of prisoners from the local penthouse is the story of the movie, so he gets away from the dramatic group. But Maryella summons him, and starts tells the story of "Dollypanna" who believes that everything that happens turns to be good. The players arrive at the Old Schollers J. House, be greeted royally and meeting
The bravery at the Old Soldiers' Home is inscribed because of a fire, the players and veterans escaping.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
"Then it's all for the best," piped Jim Cooper cheerfully.
It is easier to be optimistic when you are warm.
"Maybe we had better start home," I suggested, thinking apprehensively of those thirty long miles to town.
"With the snow falling fast it may get too deep for traction pretty soon."
"You're right," echoed Jim. "Let's hurry. We can take off our make-up after we get home."
By great good luck we had left our outer wraps in the main building. Therefore we were able to bundle up warmly enough. I had a long, heavy fur-lined driving-coat that covered me from head to heels.
The Lillielove bus got away first, although Mrs. Lillielove herself elected to return with us. I had no non-freezing solution in my radiator so I had let the water out as soon as we arrived, and now had to fill it up before I could start.
Grandmother responded nobly to the first turn of the crank. I mentally thanked her for not misbehaving on an occasion which seemed almost too good for a balky motor to miss.
The old soldiers crowded to the doors to see us off. Without the composition of the band Grandmother Page did herself proud. We started to call a lot of sounds similar to those made by a carrier hunting for a rast in a pile of rusty stove-pipes. From that I could tell that the engine was working perfectly.
I don't quite understand how the drivers of these up-to-date, silent cars can locate trouble. Everything is so thoroughly muffled that as far as I am concerned it is impossible to tell how many cylinders are firing. With Grandmother Page there is no room for doubt.
Above the noise of the motor could be heard only the farewell of Comrade Pilk Wenwether. He probably had not heard the sham battle going on beneath Grand-mother's hood.
"Good-by," he yelled with his excellent lungs and highly trained vocal organs. "Don't feel bad about the fire, because it was a lot better than the show!"
That man just raziated tact. It's too bad he could not have been in on the diplomatic courtesies that preceded the European War. The trouble could have been so easily averted by having the representatives of the powers draw lots to see which would kill him!
It was a beautiful night even if the snow was falling so thickly that it was impossible to see thirty feet ahead of the car. There is no peace like that of a snow storm, no purity like that of the earth in a fresh white blanket. It seemed a shame to put tracks in the clean, glistening expanse.
Maryella, sanguily wrapped in warm robes, sat beside me; the car was running smoothly, and there was a long drive ahead of us. What more could I ask? It was all for the best.
In the midst of such pleasant ruminations I noted hastily a dark object in the road. I turned quickly to avoid it and my lights illuminated another object directly in our path. I put on the brakes and stopped just in time to escape running down a man who stood immovable.
What was the matter with him? The answer flashed upon me when I noticed that in either hand he held a revolver. It was a hold-up! I gasped with surprise. So did Grandmother Page. I had forgotten to feed her gasoline enough, and the motor stopped. "Get out," directed the man with the guns briefly. Needless to say we did, and lined up in the customary attitude before him and his fellow highwayman with our hands covered above our head.

Instead of going through us as we expected, one of the men climbed into the front seat and adjusted the spark preparatory to starting. Then I knew who they were and why they had stopped us. They were escaped convicts from the penitentiary, and they waned the car to get away 11. It was a good scheme. They would leave track hard to distinguish, and could out-distance local pursuit. "Cuss!" exclaimed the highwayman who was in the car. "What's the trouble, Bill?" the other one queried—without, however, taking his eye or the muzzle of his gun away from us. "There isn't any electric starter

on this car."
Jim Cooper laughed.
"You'll have to get a new car, Tom. When even highways crelize it you have to admit it's getting out of date."
"Sit up," commanded our guard,
"I mentally applauded him.
"Can't you start her anyway,
Bill?"
"Sure, I can start her all right," Bill stated confidently. It is grand to approach a motor in that frame of mind, especially in cold weather. If there is anything in this theory of the superiority of mind over matter it is certainly correct to hold a hopeful thought when about to crank a car. Bill grumbled a little though at having to turn the engine over by hand. He went out in front of the car and grasped the handle firmly. "When I get her going, Julius," Bill said before cranking, "you make a quick jump for the car and we'll be off before anybody can start anything." "All right," assented Julius.
All arrangements for the getaway completed, Bill cranked the car. He cranked it several times, in fact, without any definite result. Grand-mother Page was behaving like a brick-like a load of bricks, one might almost say. She would respond to none but the hand of her master, and to the ministrations of another she onlyurged.
"What's the matter, Bill? Can't you start her?" questioned Jim Cooper sympathetically.
"Probably it is all for the best, Bill. This will teach you to be patient and likewise develop the muscles. If you would devote the same amount of energy to the pursuit of an upright and noble life you would doubtless be President of the United States some day. Think, Bill, of how this life of crime has aged your poor or mother. Think of another Bill. Bill exploded at last.
"If that guy lets out another chirn, Iulius, ping him!"
Jim subsided, but from time to time thereafter he writhed with eagerness to offer suggestions and comments. He just naturally cannot keep from lending a helping hand in everyone else's business. He means well, too. I do not doubt but that Jim Cooper is one of the best hearted men in the world; but by the time he has helped half dozen times in something you want to do by yourself you get to dread his appearance on the scene. Bill's temper had not been improved any by Jim's earnest advice. He侦察 the crank savagely and then delivered a violent kick on the radiator. "Who owns this piece of junk anyway?" he demanded, at last approach" our group. "Is it yours?" He pointed at Jim. "It is not," Jim disclaimed hastily. "You couldn't give it to me on a bet."
I made a mental resolve to square up with him sometime for his scornful comment. No man likes to have the things that he owns ridicated. Grandmother might not have all the modern attachments, but I loved every bolt in her body. "Then you must be the guy," Bill said, indicating me. "You come here and start your car."
Now, I had no particular desire to have Grandmother's kid-

napped. It seemed simple enough to make a peritourism effort and tell them it would not go. So I monkeyed with the levers amlessly and cranked a couple of times. I did not prime the cylinders with gasoline and stuff a glove in the airintake, as I knew I would have to do to get her to respond.
"She won't start," I announced. Bill swore. Jim Cooper smothered a strident laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Bill demanded harshly.
"Because," Jim returned, "Tom says he can start that car in any kind of weather when no one else can." How cheerfully I could hav-throttled Jim for that ani-

etition of my footless boast!
"So you've been stalling, have you?"
Bill turned upon me savagely.
"Now you start her; understand?
No monkey business! If she's running in two minutes we may n. t blow your brains out."
Something in his tone convinced me that Bill was in earnest. I lifted the hood, primed the cylinders, stuffed my glove in the intake and turned her over.
Grandmother responded feebly:
"Phut!"
"The batteries are a littl' weak,"
I commented. "They don't give very good spark when it's so cold. I adjusted the spark-coil to operate on less current and tried cranking. There was no explosion whatever.
I was beginning to get a little worried. Bill, who stood over me with a gun, seemed a trifle impatient. I could see that he did not believe that I was making an honest effort to start.
"Try it on the magneto," suggested Jim Cooper.
"She never starts on the magneto," I replied.
"Try it anyway," Bill commanded briefly. "And hustle."
So I did. As you may know, starting a motor on the magneto involves spinning the flywheel rapidly for several times before enough electricity is generated to make a spark. It is one of the most heart-breaking exercises I know of, especially when the motor has excellent compression such as Grandmother Page boasted.
The perspiration dripped from my brow and my arm seemed like a leaden weight that was about to drop off.
I paused for breath.
"Now you quit your kidding," snarled the highwayman, showing the muzzle of the revolver under my nose. "Take off that coat and make her go. Take it off, I say!"
I obeyed. Neither of us was prepared for what followed. I had forgotten the white tights, which were all I wore beneath my overcoat, and he, of course, was not expecting me to look as pale as I did.
His jaw fell and his arm dropped limp at his side.
"W-w-what are you?" he asked.
It was probably the only opportunity that I would have, and I made the most of it. As the muzzle of the gun dropped I jumped for him and pinned his arms to his sides.
We rolled over and over in the snow, the revolver exploding as we fell.
Sometimes weight is an advantage. This was a case in point. In two minutes I was sitting on his chest and had taken his weapons away from him.
Finger on trigger, ready to fire,
I looked around for the other bandit.
"Where is he?" I asked.
"Gone," replied Maryella. "He ran away when he saw you were winning."
"It's all for the best," Jim asserted. "You couldn't fight him and sit on this other gentleman at the same time anyway."
I rose from my seat. "Get up!"
I ordered my prisoner.

Important at every time, but especially important during the outdoor season is regular daily care of the eyes. They depend for their health and lustre upon the blood and circulation. At this time the blood is usually thin and the circulation sluggish so that the eyes are not properly fed or refreshed. Winds wipen against them, irritating the delicate tissues. Dust is blown into them, causing further irritation. And the bright sunlight puts additional strain upon the delicate eye nerves and muscles, besides furnishing cause for squint-lines around the eyes. Wash your eyes night and morning, using an eye-cup and a good lotion which you may make yourself by dissolving boric acid in boiling water, in the proportion of one tablespoon to a pint. To strengthen the eye muscles practice this exercise as you lie in bed at night before sleeping or upon waking in the morning;

Now roll the eyes all around three times, then close them. Repeat until you have done this exercise twelve times.
To nourish the skin around the eyes and to soften and satinize the often too-creepy eyelids, massage lightly over and around the eyes with a nourishing eye cream. Be sure to massage gently, "finger-printing" the cream around the eyes, tapping softly with the cushion balls of the fingers. On the eyelids use a gentle upward "combining" motion, being careful not to stretch or pull the delicate tissues.
To enhance the beauty and expression of the eyes, care for the health and beauty of the eyebrows and lashes. A nightly brushing with a tiny brush and vaseline or a good eyelash growing cream will encourage their growth and make them dark and silky.

APPETIZING TO EYE
WASHINGTON—By feeding young children tasteless pork, according to Dr. Louis Stanley of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, American mothers are bringing up a generation of diapetics who eventually will be treated by the sight of food.
"We have been carried away," said Dr. Stanley "by our zeal for vitamins and calories. Our amateur dieticians many of them graduates of domestics classes seem to have too sight of the value of their food and so ample from the foods of their children."
We have somehow got the idea
that it is better for foods to be made
from children and so a result of

You'll Like Carrots This Way
Cook 1 qt. carrots and use 2 cups carrot puree to ¼ cup bread crumbs, 2 eggs, ¼ cup milk, 1 ts. chopped parsley and seasoning. Mix carrots, crumbs and seasoning with beaten eggs, add milk, blend and fill buttered pudding cups with the mixture. Set cups in pan of hot water and bake in moderate oven until firm. Unmold and serve with cream sauce.
Improves Mashed Potatoes
Add a teaspoon of onion juice to the potatoes the next time you serve them mashed, and see if you do not like the new flavor.
Keeps Refrigerator Sweet
Use luke-warm water and strong borax solution to wash out the refrigerator and it will always stay sweet and clean. Also, a piece of charcoal kept on one of the shelves will absorb the food odors.

indifference is continued into adulthood and is the cause, I believe much of our digestive trouble. "Our scientific investigations, our interest in nutrition and dietetics have led us far astray and in the preparation of our foods we have ignored such important factors as flavoring and color. Flavor plays a decided part in the digestion of what is set before it. It is the taste that whiles the appetite is the taste, both in the restaurants and in the home, has become standardized. It is about time that the American homewife forget a little of her domestic science and made the acquaintance of the vanilla cottle the sun of vanilla and vanilla cottle.

Claims Regulation Proper
"In other words, the fourteenth amendment does not now protect the free use of property, and free use of property can now be regulated by councils where the regulation bears a rational relation to the general welfare of the community, without conflicting with the fourteenth amendment, under the decision of the Supreme Court in the Euclid versus Amber case. "waw" "waw" contended that the Richmond ordinance presents an exercise of police power entirely different from that presented in the Louisville and New Orleans cases, in that the Richmond ordinance is based on race, whereas the other two were based on color.
Scope is Limited
Whereas Mr. Cohen declared that proponents of the Louisville ordinance said it was designed to promote racial purity. Mr. Cary quoted the Supreme Court's decision in the Louisville case as saying that the case did not "deal with an attempt to prohibit the amalgamation of the races."
Mr. Cary quoted the supreme tribunal as saying also that the fourteenth amendment is not designed to interfere "with the power of the State, sometimes termed its police power, to prescribe regulations to promote the health, peace, morals, education and good order of the people."
Mr. Cannon, who spoke much more briefly than Mr. Cary, said that the whole case comes down to the claim of the petitioners that they are being deprived of property without due process of law. He said that there are innumerable decisions holding that the police power extends to property.
"The civilization of the world depends on the maintenance of the purity of the Caucasian race," Mr. Cannon concluded. A similar sentiment also had been voiced by Mr. Cary, who said that "where two completely diverse people become amalgamated, the new mixed race is always inferior to both
