Topics of Local and General Interest

UNFAITHFUL

WK AUK iHittinK it mildly when we state that much disappuintment is being

felt by large numbers of Kepub-licans in Kent county over the act of Slate Senators Munshaw and Saur who took part last Mon-day night in a secret caucus par-ticipated in by a few other He-publicatis unfai lhful to the Stale Administration and likewise un-fai thful to their constituents, who joined hands wi th a group of democrats, out fo r purely parti-san reasons, to thwar t the eflTorts of Governor Fitzgerald and his program for efficiency and eco-nomy in the conduct of state affairs .

In addition to Munshaw and Saur , the fol lowing Republican senators are the names of those who bolted and, by their act, turned into a bur lesque one of the most constructive measures of the adminis t ra t ion; Brake. Cotter, Pangborn , Mosler, Vander-werp , Hittle. Wood and Baldwin and Lieut. Gov. Head.

Without doubt, everyone of the above-named persons owes h i . election to the fact that the peo-ple voted for him with the moral unders tanding that he would give his support to the efficiency and economy program laid down by the governor dur ing the cam-paign. Each has proven unfai lh-fu l to the trust reposed in him.

Just suppose that a t rue prophet should declare that every man, woman and child now living in Lowell would be killed in automobile accidents d a r i n g the year 1933. We would s tand appalled, dumb-founded, paralyzed if we knew that that w e r e to become true. Yet, dur-i a g the year 1934. 36.000 per-sons met death on the highways of this country in automobile acc idents . To put it another way, this means that the equiv-alent of 18 towns the size of

-on r s were wiped out of exist* eace In the space of twelve months ' time. The desire to get somewhere in a hu r ry has been fonnd to be the pHncipal cause of highway fataiities. Think it over.

INTELLIGENT LAWMAKERS

ZION'S HERALD.famous Meth-odist weekly, suggests that national and state legislators

should take intelligence tests, to determine whe the r they possess t h e needed qualifications. II would have them examined in such subjects as correct manners . English composit ion, history, consti tutional and internat ional law, philosophy, psychology, eco-nomic theories, etc.

l eg i s la to rs who had passed such tests would avoid many mis-takes. Yet the number of people who c o u l d b a s s such tests Is very limited. T h e r e are many able business and professional people, farmers , a n a mechanics, w h o could never pass such examina-t ions, yet have common sense and practical Judgment, and make ex* cellent legislators.

There a re millions of people A-ho vote at elections who give very little attention to the ques-tion whether candidates are in-telligent o r not. They vole fo r the candidate who promises to t^o the most fo r them personal ly. All elements and sections reach into the grabbag f o r whatever they can gel out of it fo r themselves.

No formal intelligence test is likely ever to be imposed on leg-islators. but candidates should demonstrate whe the r they a re in-telligent o r not. Those who de-pend only on bright smiles, cordi-al handshakes, and impossible promises, should be asked what they know about business, taxes, tariff's, and currency.

The candidate is not expected to have the learning of a college professor, but he should be capable of looking at these th ings in a common sense way. A man could nol expect to get a job as manager of a business, unless he knows something about that par -ticular t rade. A candidate should show that he knows something about government before he at-tempts to run these vast enter-prises.

AMERICAN FREEDOM

SENATOR BORAH of Idaho spoke strongly to the Amer-ican Society of Newspaper

editors against government en-croachment on the r ights of citi-zens. and he warned against leg-islation intended to curb Com-niunism and Fascism. H e felt that in countries where Communism and Fascism prevail, these sys-tems could not last if the right of f ree discussion was al lowed.

The old idea that the business of the government was s imply to provide fo r national defense, re-press crime, and maintain order , would be considered out of date now. But the people must be per-mitted the right of f ree discus-sion, or great abuses will gain the upper hand .

If adverse comment by news-papers and public speakers was suppressed, a great deal of dis-honesty would be tolerated, and the rights of many folks would be trampled upon, no mat te r which iwlitical par ty was in power .

This is supposed to be a gov-ernment "of the people, f o r the Iieople. and by the people." All imblic officials claim the i r acts a re for the benefit of the people. But the people know in their hearts whe the r they a re benefited or nol by these acts. The govern-ment is not really "by the peo-ple." until the people have the right to tell their experiences, and say whe the r the government is helping o r hur t ing them.

Every newspaper , f r om the great metropoli tan daily down to the littlest cross roads weekly, U an agency through which the voice of America must have the right to speak. Every little de-bating society, club, loafing place or home, where |)eople talk about their affairs , is a safeguard for the public welfare . If w r o n g things a re done, these centers of discussion reveal the t ru th , and the government is forced to listen to this voice.

A Ledger repor te r has spent some time the last few days vis-iting the oil well being dril led on the Anton Kallinger fa rm, north of town. Knowing the interest our readers have in this project, we will report on the progress being made f rom time to time.

The first twenty feet of drill-ng was the most difficult, your

repor ter was told, because there were many large boulders which had to be pounded apar t , one taking as long as 15 hours .

The soil just under the boulder-s t rewn area was of ha rd clay which changed to a sandy loam a f t e r going down about 100 feel.

On visiting the well last Satui day evening, we found that thi-workmen had drilled to a depih

Local Boys Know How Tigers Feel Errors , poor judgment on the

paths, and a lack of base-clouting were responsible fo r two defeats suffered by the local high school baseball team dur ing the past week. Grandville walloped the locals on Fr iday 10 to 2. The vis-itors displayed a fine working machine. They garnered 12 hits and made only 2 e r ro r s while I-owell gathered but fi hits and made 5 e r rors . Thorne and (x)rdtz composed the bat terv for Lowell.

On Monday Greenville furnish-ed the opposition and. although j^owell played a much belter brand of ball, the visitors eked out a victory 4 lo 3. A lack of ex-perience cost Lowell the game for when on bases the boys had difficulty in sensing what they should do. Faulty base running cost Lowell at least three runs . Al times, however , both teams showed flashes of excellent base ball. Greenville made 9 hits and 1 error , while Lowel l made 8 hits and 3 e r rors . Miller and Ellis formed the losing ba t te ry .

So much for the mil i tary. As fo r aviation, volumes could be wri t ten on it. and 1 scarcely know where to begin, or when lo slop. In the United Stales there a re 8.000 air-planes. of which Michigan has the goodly number of 550. Bussia has 18,000 military planes, and the United Slates has 000. The slate of Michigan maintains in her air co rps : 120 enlisted men, 8 observers , 17 pilots, and 7 air-planes. These men put in only one »lay a week, and two weeks at Grayling in the summer, and they specialize in bombing, medi-cal or photographic work. No Hying is taught, but each year f rom two men lo six men are sent for flying instruction to the Uni '-ed States Air School at Bandolph, Texas.

The day was perfect, and one could see ' fo r a vast dis-tance, and the ride was smoolher than an auto ride. We first land-ed al Wayne and went through the Slinson Airplane factory. They a rc employing 320 men. and manufac tu re 200 planes per year, about 150 of the one-molor tvpe selling at $5996, and 50 of the

I In -motor type selling at *37.500. ' the smaller ones being cabin planes with 4-passenger capacity, and the larger ones carry ing 8 passengers and 500 lbs. of mail. The fac tory has been in opera-lion since 1929. manufactur ing everything but the 212-2G0 horse-power motors which a re made in Iheir plant al Wil l iamsport .Penn. . and which factory they plan to move to Michigan soon.

The fame of Ihe Lowell Show-boat continues lo spread far and wide. On Monday A. E. Myers of Fori Orange Posl of Ihe American l eg ion al Albany, N.

The For i Orange posl conducls a fresh air camp for under-privileged boys in Ihe Adirondack mountains and con-lemplales a Showboat production in o rde r lo raise funds for carry-ing on Ihe project .

Said J. C. Halch lasl Fr iday af-le rnoon: "I read with interest your article in The Ledger re-garding Ihe horseless carriage* which Carl English invented here 35 years ago. You may be inter-ested lo know that 1 have in my shop a little gasoline engine, one of the first made by Mr. English. That was before Ihe invention of Ihe electric spark, a 'hot lube ' be-ing used lo generate Ihe gas."

Memories of Ihe "horse age" were brought back the other morning as we strolled along Ihe east side of the Slate Savings Bank and saw a horse wilh a buggy lied to Ihe hi tching rails there—no longer a common sight in this motorized age. Time was when hi tching rai ls lined Ihe length of Main street on both sides and many of the side streets as well. In those days it was not an uncommon sight to see a s i r ing of teams two and three blocks long, wagons loaded wilh wheat o r other crops of the farm wai l ing Iheir turn lo be unloaded.

Jack Bannan, ba rbe r : "A traffic officer in uniform is my solution lo Lowell 's traffic problem. Driv-ers just natural ly slow down when they see the uniform. I think parking spaces on Main Street should be left open for visitors and pa t rons from out-side of town."

"KIND MAY INVITES"

o Sl"C.ll delights, kind May [ invites." is a line in some

A old poem. As the spring eomes on, people wander out once more, and are thrilled by the beauty that Nature is sealteniK over every field.

"Oh. lhal we two were mayinjl are Ihe words of a great poet. His dream of happiness was lo wan-der forth wilh his beloved in Ihe month of May. and find in the gay Mowers of the field a relleelion of the happiness of his heart.

May has her sour moments. One famous poet, disgusted by the slow progress of spring weather, remarked lhal "May ought to be called Mayn't." Many people of course have lost interest in the beaulv of Ihe season, since what they think about out in the coun-t rv ' i s how many miles they can reel off in their fast cars. Still, there are plenty of others to whom May. wilh its return of llowery beauty, is a high lide of happiness.

There is scarcely any scheme imaginable more calculated to instill fear and confusion in the mind of the ordinary person and to finally undermine all freedom of action than to sub-ject him to countless rules and regulations by numberless de-partments or bureaus of the present bureaucracy, the vio-lation of which burdens hjs property or restrains him of his liberty.

BIG NAVY APPROPRIATION

CONGRESS has begun con-sideration of a bill appropri-ating iMtiO.tHHMKKJ for Ihe

navy, the biggest sum asked for that purpose for 15 years. War clouds hanging over Europe have led to the request for this great sum.

Opinions differ whether we need any such amount. Hut the world can be sure that the United Slates wants no trouble with any-body. II will not use a big navy lo boss the world, or swagger around Ihe globe and tell other nations what they must do. But in a world where Ihe nations de-pend on force rather than friend-ship to keep Ihe peace, il is neces-sary lo be pretty well armed.

GOOD NEWS FROM NEWS-PAPERS

THE ANNUAL convention of the American Newspaper Publishers' association re-

llected a general atmosphere of hope and good cheer. No speaker reported bad business, and there were many cheering reports from the circulation and advertising men.

The newspaper world might be compared lo Ihe thermometer which Ihe nurse Inserts in your mouth to get your leinperaiure. find show whether you are gel-ling worse or better. You can measure the rise and fall of trade by the advertising columns of newspapers. When advertising drops, business drops. When ad-vertising gains, business gains. Not merely are these reports from this convention encourag-ing. but they give every business concern a suggestion how il can increase its own trade. Many n man has made money in hard limes by pushing his own busi-ness by publicity.

fields made fertile for seeds of discontent planted by demagogues and radicals. He suggests lhal re-publicans and democrats of the conservative t>pe form a com-bination to meet Ihe exigencies of Ihe time, baffle Ihe cries of dem-agogues and chart a safety pro-gressive course.

THE LAWN AND THE RAKE

THE HELVriON of your rake to your lawn is about the siime as lhal of a good comb

to your young son. Junior hales to have his hair combed. He is apt In yell good and loud while Ihe operalion is being performed. Mill once done, he appears like a human being, instead of like a hairy inhabitant of the jungle. The neighbors will say he is a good boy. and invite him in lo have some doughnuts.

So with Ihe lawn. II does nol idively resist combing with I ho rake, but ils dead grass and col-lected litter hang back enough so il lakes ipiile a little effort to give il a good combing. Hut il always looks better afterward, wilh all lhal rough stuff out of Ihe way. The new grass gels a chance lo grow, and the home place can hold up ils head in the world and feel il is entitled lo n honorable place in Lowell.

IIARSON CRITICAL

ROGER W. BAUSON, econom-ist. says Ihe administration has been majoring in social

reform and minoring in business recovery unlil in two years Ihe public debt has been increased $7.000.000.0410. and prosperity is "still around Ihe corner." "My chief criticism of Ihe adminislra-lion." says Babson. "that il has set in motion dangerous and even suicidal forces. II has under-mined people's morale; il has taught politicians lo spend reck-lessly; il has encouraged workers to strike; il has destroyed con-fidence in thrift and all invest-ments; il has upheld Ihe doctrine of producing less and wasting more. "Wilh two years of experi-ments and business still twenty-one per cent below normal. Bab-son points lo need for new lead-ership to straighten out govern-mental tangles. iHe points lo

THE HOME PLACE'S STORY

TiHE APPEABANCE of your home place tells a story, of Ihe kind of people who live

in it. It tells whether these folks arc neat and careful, or careless and disorderly. II gives some idea whether they have culture and education, or whether they are indifferent about these things. II tells whether they are indus-trious and energetic, or natural-ly indolent. II tells whether they feel a desire to co-operate with Ihe community, or prefer to play a lone hand.

Il may seem to lake consider-able effort lo maintain a nice looking home place. If people ale unable lo work on it themselves, it may cost a little money. But il pays abundantly, by giving a fav-orable impression lo the world.

Other Editors W H O WILL PAY T H E N ?

We jus t read tha t f o r every mile of ra i lway t r ack in Michigan t h e ra i l roads pay more t h a n one thou-sand dol lars into t h e Michigan s t a te t reasury . W e have f requen t ly heard people say they were not concerned with what happened to the rai l roads, and tha t if the rail-roads could not m a k e money in compet i t ion with the b u s a n d t ruck opera tors they could quit . Of course they can quit and some have a l ready done so. but we a r e askinir you "when they all quit who is going to pay th i s money in-to the s ta te t r e a s u r y ?

HOW TO END T H E DE-PRESSION

Do you want to really and sin-cerely br ing the depression to an end? Well, the way is an easy one —let Henry Ford run the govern-men t for the next two yea r s — make him Pres ident of the United S la tes with the r ight to hire and f ire . W e will gua ran t ee to you tha t if th is was done, the re would be no unemployment a t the end of six months . At the end of the f i r s t y e a r of his admin i s t ra t ion , f ac -tor ies would be work ing over t ime and f a r m e r s would have a m a r k e t fo r all they could produce a t good prices. At the end of a y e a r and a half, the re would be a nat ion-wide prosper i ty and a t t h e end of the two years , every one would be hap-py and the gove rnmen t would be out of debt. Educa t ed n incompoops and polit icians would be product-ive cit izens or they wouldn ' t be eat ing. But of course off ice holders and poli t icians do not wan t to end t h e depression. There wouldn ' t be any more easy money fo r them to grab .—Plymouth Mail.

Homemaker's Corner

Ity Home Economics Specialisls, Michigan State College.

The modern "sugar nnd molass-es" cure for spring rheumatism and that tired feeling Is plenty of Vitamin C in the diet, according to home economics nutrition special-ists at Michigan State College.

At this particular season, canned tomatoes are the beat source when fresh fruits and vegetables are not available. A tomato juice cocktail seasoned with horse radish, onion juice, and salt and pepper will help stimulate the lagging spring appe-tite.

For Sunday night supper, a tom-ato jelly mold with cheese will prove very tasty. To one level tab-lespoon of plain gelatin add Vt cup cold water and let It stand five minutes. Cook together and then strain one and one-half cups to-mato juice, one tablespoon scraped onion, one-half teaspoon salt, '-i teaspoon celery sal t and one tab-lespoon vinegar. Add the softened gelatin to the hot juice and after the mixture has cooled, partially fill individual molds with it. Make the cheese balls by mixing >4 lb. of cream or cottage cheese with two tablespoons chopped olives or pickles and place on one jelly In each mold. Cover completely with more tomato jelly. To serve, un-mold on a lettuce leaf and garnish with salad dressing.

Canned apple sauce or sauce made from stored apples which have become somewhat shrunken and dried, may be used in graham apple torte, a modern open-faced apple pie. For the crust, use % cup melted butter and one and one-half cups graham cracker crumbs, or IVs cups toasted bread crumbs and 4̂ cup brown sugar may be substituted for the cracker crumbs. Two-thirds of this mixture Is pack-ed into a pie tin. which Is then fill-ed with three cups of rather thick sweetened apple sauce, flavored with lemon Juice or favorite spices. The rest of the crumbs are sprin-kled on top and the pie baked in a moderate oven for half an hour. When cool, the torte may be cut into generous wedges and served like any pie. It may be garnished with whipped cream.

Safety in Lowell

The following editorial was written by Glendon Swarthout, a member of the class in Special English in Ihe Lowell high school. According to Supt. W. W. Gum-ser. members of the class write upon topics of timely interest, followed by discussion of Ihe logic, rhetoric, grammar and style of construction employed. Glendon's editorial follows:

It is unfortunate that a commun-ity must have an unpleasant ex-perience before it rouses ilself sufiiciently lo correct a sorry condition, which is ever-present in ils daily life. These three factors we have with us now. Lowell is the typical community; Ihe unpleasant incident is Iho tragic end of six-year-old Willard Brown, crushed to death. lasl week, under the cruel wheels of a motor vehicle. The sorry con-dition in Lowell today is the ab-solute disregard for local traffic ordinances, apparent in the driv-ing of both Ihe older and the younger generations.

Something must be done aboul il. l/OCal officers should be com-mended for Iheir efforts during Ihe lasl few days. But Ihtt is not sulficient. Constant obedience lo Irafiic laws must become habitual in Ihe life of every citizen of Lowell. Our every effort must be spent towards this end. that our pedestrians shall be safe! It is not only a matter of civic pride, but a mailer of absolute' neces-sity!

"Dad, I passed my last exam today!"

ACROSS plains and mountain ranges,

hurdling rivers and towns, a human

voice speeds along a wire. And so

incredibly swift is its flight that even

while the words are still sounding

in a far-distant room, the Voice is

flowing into a Michigan home, a wel-

come guest — and a familiar ottc.

From a miracle , long-distance

communicat ion by te lephone h a t

developed into an integral part of

every-day American life.

It is the quickest way to relieve

anxiety; it is an unequaled means

of sending congratulations or condo-

lences; it can reunite scattered mem*

hers of a family; it can bring together

friends who have been parted by the

intervening milea.

There is no way of estimating the

human value of this modern

n e c e s s i t y ; f o r t h e r e i s n o

way of measuring the joy and

reassurance and satisfaction which—

by the mere lifting of a receiver —

can be derived from the sound of a

wcll-remcmbgrcd voice.

It is a tribute to modern telephone

service that snch long-distance com-

munication by word of month is no

longer considered something at which

to marvel. In a few short years the

miracle has become a commonplace.

It is now accepted as a matter of

course even by those whose memories

go back to a day in w h i c h long-

distance conversat ion was utterly

unknown.

One of the functions of the Michi-

gan Bell Telephone Company is to

supply this modern necessity to the

people of Michigan; and to supply it

at the lowest rates that wi l l ade-

quately provide for the. main-

tenance and improvement of

the servioe.

be the subject of the lesson-ser-mon in all Christian Science churches throughout the world on Sunday, May 5.

Among the Bible citations is this passage (Mall, 9:4-5): "And Jesus knowing their thoughts said. Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts'? For whether is easier, to say. Thy sins be for-given thee; or lo say, Arise, and walk?"

Correlative passages to be read from the Christian Science text-hook, 'IScience and Health with Kev to the Scriptures." by Mary Baker Eddy, include the follow-ing (p. 404): "Healing the sick and reforming the sinner are one and Ihe same thing in Christian Science. Both Ihe cures require the same method and are insepar-able in Truth. Haired, envy, dis-honesty, fear, and so forth, make a man sick, and neither material medicine nor Mind can help him permanently, even in body, un-less il makes him better mentally, and so delivers him from his de-stroyers."

The time to sell peanuts is when people are on the way to the circus—

and right now they're on their

way to the Big Business Tops.

There is a whale of a lot of difference be-tween the buying mood of people today as compared with a year ago.

They're out to spend some money, and they are having more money to spend.

It may have been good business sense for a merchant to have retrenched in his adver-tising activities when people were not spend-ing any more money than was absolutely necessary.

But such a retrenchment policy at this time is false economy.

Truly, there is now no more profitable in-vestment or expenditure a merchant or bus-iness can make than to get back into an ad-vertising program—not necessarily an ex-pensive one, but some sort of advertising, at least.

Merchants and businesses have lost cus-tomers over the last few years — old cus-tomers who have been "badly hit" in a finan-cial way; former customers who have mov-ed away; past patrons who have switched to other stores and sources of supply.

And if Mr. Merchant permits this con-dition to continue, he will soon awaken to the disastrous fact that his business has been undermined by more alert and energetic competition. It is a hundred times more difficult and expensive to revive an UNDER-MINED BUSINESS than to keep a going business going along.

Here before you is the opportune time and the business opportunity to get that sales volume back to normal, and to increase it.

And advertising in The Ledger is the most productive and economical method of ad-vertising to Lowell people. Any local mer-chant who practices any other form of local advertising is spending two and three times to bring in the same SALES DOLLAR which The Ledger space could bring in for one-half or one-third less.

elded to investigate. "My clothes were thrown over

the chair near the dresser, and 11 decided to And a match In my trou-sers pocket to light the gas and dispel once nnd for all this ghastly experience. Accordingly. I began to crawl gingerly out of bed, but no sooner did one foot touch the floor j than it landed in a small puddle of warm liquid. Hurriedly. I drew my foot back nnd huddled myself un-der Ihe covers.

"It could not have been water, for It seemed to my then sensitive touch to be of a little heavier con-sistency. and ils warmth was un-natural. Instinctively, I felt some-thing supernatural In it, hut my ra-tional mind refused to accept it.

"I was too frightened to get out of bed now to search for matches and the gas Jet, but I knew where Ihe pool was into which I heard the drip, drip, dripping of whatever It was. With upturned palm, I held my hand over the place. Nothing came from the ceiling, but sllll the drip, drip, drip kept on.

"For more than an hour this con-tinued, and then the drops seemed to fall seldom,, until, at last, they ceased entirely. Sleep came wel-comely to my almost shattered nerves.

"When I awoke my first thought was of my night's experience. Has-tily I looked at the floor where my foot had encountered the warm liquid Into which something had dripped for more than an hour, but to my relief the faded carpel was clean and dry.

"Laughing at what I now consid-ered a silly nightmare, I slid out of bed and prepared to dress. But my sheepish smile froze on my face when I saw the foot lhat had stepped out of bed during Ihe night.

"It was red with blood, which was now dried by the warmth under the covers.

"Searching for a wound which might have caused it. I could only discover lhat the skin on my foot was as clear and unscarred as It was on Ihe day before.

"Out of the corner of my eye I could see the hotel owner studying me while I ale hreakfaa down-stairs.

"The landlord put on a furtive air. as though he wanted no one to hear him. as he approached me, and told me of an event which happened some ten years before.

"It appears that a man who was later unidentined had passed through the town and taken a night's lodging in lhat same room In which I had Just had my strange experience. Xo sooner had he gone up to hed than another traveler en-tered and was given the room ad-joining.

"There was no sound of any kind during the night, hut Ihe following morning Ihe landlord discovered that the second traveler had de-parted hurriedly and his bed bad not been slept In. It seemed very unusual, as there was no means of transportation out of town during the night.

"The proprietor's curiosity was aroused: he knocked on the door of the first traveler, and when he re-ceived no answer boldly opened II and entered.

"The man was sprawled across the bed in his night clolhes. His head hung over the side of the bed toward the floor, with his sightless eyes looking nt the colling. II was therefore plain to see lhat Ihe iiian's throat bad been slashed by a sharp knife or a razor and through the night his life's blood had dripped onto the carpet near the edge of the bed."

The Shoe Didn't Fit

By J A N N I S P A R K E R

<5. UcOluro r SyndlcaU. WNU tWvlra.

IT WAS a pity, friends said, that so dellgtitrul a person as Doris

should he married to A. Llndsey Mund, the most notorious producer In the show business. And yet Doris went around squandering her loveli-ness on an ugly little man whose only concern In life was that there might be a shortage of women.

All her friends wished she'd rc allze what life could hold hy chang-ing her name to Mrs. Dick Manning. And Dick, who dogged her foot-steps, wished It most

"Doris.'* he said one afternoon on the tiled terrace encircling the Mund penthouse, "you're going to Paris this summer, aren't you?"

She nodded assent "Come back single." he pleaded. "On what grounds?" she smiled. "Can't accuse him of non-snp-

port." she contended. "Can't get It on Incompatibility,"

she went on. "We don't see enough of each other to know whether we're Incompatible or not.

"And I couldn't get It for cruel-ty. He never puts a hand on me."

"How about Infidelity?" Inter-rupted Dick. "Or does he come home early every night like a fond little husband and toast his toes before the hearth?"

Doris smiled again. "You could hardly expect a man up to his eyes In rehearsnls to come home early every night," she pointed oa t

Did she think I.Indsey impeccable, or did the Puritan strain In her rebel at divorce? But because he knew that should he touch her to shake her. he'd change his original intention and take her in his arms Instead, he sat stiffly silent beat-ing his clenrhed hands together softly.

Heads to Weat, Feet to East, Old Burial Custom

In all early Christian cemeteries in (ireat Britain and northern Eu-rope the graves were carefully orl entated. the body being almost In-variably laid with the feet point-ing toward the east. This custom prevailed until a century or two ago, and Is still widely observed. Even In the family burying grounds on the colonial estates of Maryland and Virginia the bodies usually lie with the head to the west. The custom arose from medieval legends and pagan practices. Christ, ac-cording to the legend, was burled in the sepulcher with his head to the west. Many suppose that Mat thew 24:27 means that when Jesus comes In Judgment he will appear In the east That verse reads: "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be." Bodies, therefore, were burled with the feet toward t h e east, to enable them on arising on the morning of ivsurrectlon to face the east and to hurry In that direction to meet the l^>rd. Because of this custom, the east wind Is known in Wales as "the wind of the dead man's feet." Orientation of the dead, however. Is older than Christian-ity. The pagan Franks placed their dead In the tombs with the feet to the east; and Waller Johnson, In "Byways in British Archeology,•• describes a cemetery at Charvalse dating back to the earliest Iron age. in which all but two or three of the more than seventy graves were so orientated that the head lay to the west end.

"Dick, you're sweet." Her fin-gers lightly touched his sleeve.

"Sweet nothing. Fm bitter! Oh. Doris, don't you think you could love me a little If yon tried?"

Her gray-green eyes clung to his Te l l me. . . . If whenever a

"I happen to be married. I took him for better, for worse."

"If you're so punctlllons why let him forget; ' . . and keep thyself from all others, unto her alone'?" Dick wanted to know. "But doubt-less Llndsey was too busy eyeing the bridesmaids to hear the stipu-lation. You're Just a alily martyr, Doris, that I.Indsey uses for a safe-ty-valve. As long as he's neatly married none of his soft-voiced sirens can put up a howl."

"You're a little harsh on him. Dick. A man In his profession has to be on the lookout constantly for new talent."

"Cm. Doris, when are you go-ing to see him as he Is?"

"When the shoe fits," she an-swered.

And so Doris spent the summer In Paris without reaorting to its law courts. Just before she returned Llndsey gave up the penthouse for a much smaller place In the same building. No on® was going to the theater any more, he said. Actu-ally the amount saved was feather-ing another nest, but of course that would have to be proved to Doris, Dick sighed.

It was proved the night after her return. Doris, Llndsey and Dick were In the living room of the new small apartment having their after-dinner coffee when the doorbell rang and a freckled lad of about twelve handed Doris a pair of strange, tiny slippers. They were spike-heeled, snub-toed, and flaunt-ed perky bows.

"We've moved Into your pent-house," grinned the youngster, "and my mother sent me down with these shoes you forgot She found them In the bedroom closet."

Dick thanked the lad and hastl ly bundled him off. Doris found herself holding a pair of slippers that could not have been hers by three sizes.

At the corner rummage sale the little old woman in charge looked distressed.

"Didn't lit at ail I' Dick boomed Jovially, bis arm flung across the shoulders of a freckled youth whos' eyes danced because of Dick's gen-erous bill.

Then the sallow face of A Und-ney Mund loomed In Dick's Inner vision.

account before you can enjoy insurance. All amounts

up to and including five thousand dollars which you de-

posit with us are fully insured by The Federal Deposit

Insurance Corporation.

Yorluhire Terrier One of Best of Show Dogs

The body of the Yorkshire ter-rier, except for the black button of a nose, Is hlddea by the soft cont. parted UDlnterimptedly from the tip of the aose to the roo{ of the tali, observes a writer In the Los An-geles Times. Artistically speaking, the hair of the long face-full drops over his head and muzzle like a rain of gold . . . and the hair of his body falls from the hack like a cascade of steel blue. The short-er hair on the ears and legs Is golden tan.

The process of development of the breed—Intended to have been a working terrier—Is typical of man's attempt to manufacture a type. The desire was apparently toward the production of a dwarfed, prlckeared black-aad-tan terrier, possessed with sporting iDStlnet and a coat of nnexcelled length and sllklaess.

As foimdatloD stock, the old Cagllsh black-aad-taa wire-haired terrier . . . said to be the original atredale . . . Is supposed to have been used. To leugtbeD the coat aa Infusion of Skye terrier blood was employed. To Impart softness and eliminate the wiry texture of the coat without reducing Its length the Maltese terrier was In-troduced. And to more closely ap-proach the "Ideal" and teod to re-turn to the black-and-taa colorlag the Clydesdale terrier was enlisted.

SenranU in Medieval Castle In a medieval castle servants

included the steward, who was a general domo or butler. There would be one or more cooks, depending on the size of the establlshmeot There would be scullions, butchers, maltsters, cellarers, cup bearers and a miscellaneous crew of boys and men doing menial work. More OD the military side, but still serv-auts, were the armorers, farriers, hostlers aad grooms. Every castle had Its priest, who also was a sort of servant A priest might also act as almoner and scribe. There often was a fool or jester. There were many maids, a housekeeper and seamstresses.

The First Saddle The first real saddle Is found In

the so-called Column of Theodoslus at Constantinople, usually ascribed to the end of the Fourth century A. D, It Is not known who Invented the saddle. It was developed grad ually by the ancients. The Greeks rode bare-backed at first hut a lit-tle later employed the saddle cloth. Subsequently pads or rolls seem to have been added. In medieval times the saddle was much like that of the oriental saddle of today, with high peaks before and behind. The side saddle Is said to date from the eod of the Twelfth century.

Nelsoa Relics Interesting Nelson relics closely
