Forks have been in use only about
300 years. The old Greeks, although
their civilization was much advanced,
ate with their fingers, as gracefully as
possible And in the middle ages
people still ate with their fingers.
OF course, they washed their hands
before and after each meal, but still
the custom was anything but clean.
Each of the guests at dinner was
first offered basin and a pitcher and
it was bad form to help ones self to
any of the food before having care
fully washed hands and face. OF
course, they washed them again
after the meal. Goldsmiths finally
invented forks, but at first they were
objects of luxury and were used anly
at times when they might have been
done without, as for eating pears,
cheese and sandwiches.

THE FUNK-HENNING CASE

The prosecution in the Funk-Hen-
ming conspiracy case was outlined
yesterday in the opening address of
Assistant States Attorney Marvin
Barnhart.
In his speech Barnhart said they
would prove that Attorney Daniel
Donohue, one of the defendants, was
the chief agent in the scheme to de-
fame Clarence S. Funk, the Harves-
ter boss.
He said he would prove that Ailleen
Heppner had brought Mrs. Josephine
Henning to Donohue's Office and the
scheme was perfected there. And
that afterward she and her husband,
John C. Henning, were paid money by
Donohue to stay out of town.
W. S. Forrest, counsel for the de-
Tense, said he would show that Dono-
hue merely acted as attorney for
Henning in the latter's alienation suit
against Funk.
The names of William Lorimer and
Edward Hines were only brought in
when Forrest said the state was try
ing to indicate that they were the
men behind the alleged conspiracy.
Mrs. Henning is expected to take
the stand and reveal the workings
of the plot.

WHO'S GOING TO BE cHIEF?-l
NEITHER DO WE KNOW


The names of Capt. Paddy LAWN of
the Hyde Park station. and Capt.
Joseph Smith of the Englewood sta
ton loom up most prominent today
in connection with the vacancy left
by Retired Chief of Police McWeeny.
LAWNS appointment is being urged
. by Andy Lawrence and the Publish
ers' Association as a reward for his
work as strikebreaker last sum-
mer. LAWN also has the backing of
the packers. They feel very CRATE
full to him for destroying union labor,
by Waddell-Mahon gunner tactics,
several years ago.
But if Harrison is seriously consid-
ering running for reelection it is very
probable that he wouldn't sacrifice
the unionmen's vote by appointing
LAWN.
The mention of Smith is a result
of one of those inside lunches" that
are being spread around the City
Hail.
Smith has good record as police
Ofncer and is known as an Original
Harrison" man rather than an H.-H.
man. The best thing to be said con-
corning him, outside of his acknow-
lodged efficiency as police officer,
is that he never brought his police
star into politics.
Congressman SABBATH is still boost
ing Capt. John E. Ptacek. Captains
O'Brien, Halpin, Coughlin, Meagher,
Collins and Lieut.. James Larkin of
the Detective Bureau have also been
mentioned.
Mayor Harrison denied that he in
tended making Major Funkhouser
chief. First Deputy Schuettler is in
charge temporarily.
