INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 36.-Inspectors
Of the city board Of health raided one
Of the curb stands at the city market,
conhscating hundreds Of pounds Of Eng
lish walnuts and mixed nuts, which
were found to run from 10 to 90 per
cent bad. Mayor Shank instigated the
raid when he learned that large
sign advertising the nuts as "Shank''
sale was going on and that the nuts
were below the standard.
Inquiries at the "Shank" stand
brought the information that the sale
was being conducted by Carl Shank.
market master. and brother Of the
mayor. The mayor did not know at
the time that his brother was inter.
ested In the sale.
Carl Shank, however, denied that he
had any financial interest In the stand
Or sale, but admitted that the name
',Shank'' had been used with his per-
mission. The "Shank" sign was ordered
down today, and all the nuts on the
market which showed more than so per
cent bad were ordered confscated after

Helen smiled and shrugged her shoul-
ders.
You see now why we make up no
hats for old ladies?"
Half an hour later found Helen at
department store counter where mil
linery supplies" were displayed. She
was looking AT some wire frames They
were all too large, but she took the
smallest and the saleswOman showed
her how she could bend it TO make it
smaller and shape IL as she wished
Then she bought yard of buckram,
10-yard piece OF black straw braid,
three yards of black velvet ribbon and
two punches Of silk viOlets. All to-
gether IL cost her only $3.50.
Then she hurried home. threw OF
her wraps spread her purchases out on
the bed and eagerly went TO work
First she bent IN the wire frame 70
the size and shape she wanted Then
covered il with the buckram, and then
seWed on row after row of the straw
braid until the top was covered she
happened to have some scraps Of black
chiffon with which she faced it. Then
she trimmed il with the YiOlets and the
black velvet ribbon
A Happy Evening.
Il took the rest of that afternoon
and most Of the evening.
Warren had brought home his bank
book to balance and while he added up
columns Of figures, Helen sat beside
him in low chair and worked on the
hat She was never happier than when
he was going over some papers while
she sewed- The evenings they spent
in this silent cOmpanionship were to
Helen always resUful, cOntented ones.
At last the hat was finished, and
she held il up proudly for his lncpec-
ton.
Look dear, its all done now. Didn't
I do IL Well? And IL doesn't look a bit
home made does it2"
Warren glanced up from his figures
"Um-m pretty gOOd looking hat Try
it on"
"Oh no, it wouldn't look well on me
mother wears her hair so different
Try ii oni'
But it's much too old for me- as
she laughingly Obeyed.
Il don't know about that" as he
viewed her critically That's a hat
anybody can wear. It's darn sight
better looking than most Of the freaks
you see IN the windows"
Helen took IL off and looked at IL
proudly Praise from Warren meant
so much And IL WAS a good looking
hat
The next morning she packed the
dress and hat il strong pastebOa
box and took il herself 10 the express
office She pictured her mothers de-
light when she opened the package
She could almost hear her little cries
Of appreciation. as she took out the
dress and held the hat at arms length
TO admire IL.
Only those who have lived in a coun-
try town 10 know Of the Joys Of box

Helen Finds 1t Hard to Buy a BETTING
Dress for Her Mother.

a people so in the thralls Of the Tat
est style however hideOus or unsuita-
Die that style may be- And the stout
gray-haired woman of so is expected
20 wear exactly the same models as her
slim, brown haired daughter. No long
er are there any fashions for elderly
women for they conform eagerly 10 the
most youthful modes. And the re-
result is often astonishing, and some
times pathetic.
And now Helen went from store to
store IN vain search for a plain white
gown for her mother At last in des-
peration. she asked a flOor-walker-
Haven't you a single white dress
n your shop suitable for an old lady
And the floor walker only stared at
ner In mild wonder and referred her
TO a saleswoman. who with an indit-
1erent Certainly, ma am" began 10
snow the usual models with peek-a-
boo waists ard LOt BILE skirts.
BY this time Helen was tired,
thoroughly tired and som eWhat 1rr1-
tated. For there is nothing more
wearing to ones nerves and temper
than shopping. She was almost in
cined TO return her mothers cheek
and write that she could get neither
the dress nor Use hat
But then she reread her mothers
letter and felt ashamed Of her i'm
pulse She could not disappoint her
So she dragged YEARLY on through
more stores, and at last one sales
woman said hopefully:
Il think I have just what you want
1t was a special order, but the Gus
toner didn't take it."
Then she brought out a plain white
null dress with a full. graceful skirt,
trimmed only with some narrow hem
stitched bands of fine Swiss insertion.
1t was just what Helen wanted, but
TO her dismay, she found the price
was $50. Thirty-fiVe dOllars-and her
mother had sent only $50 for both the
hat and dress."
"Oh. haven't you anything less eX-
penslve than that2 I don't care TO pay
$50 for just a wash dress"
"Oh. yes, we have plenty of white
dresses from SIS up. but they're all
much more fancy There you see
pointing toward q nearby case. that
lot is S22 dollars And some Of them
are very good values"
