RAIN IS BENEFITINC
NORTHERN NECK FARMS

Lancaster. Va, Aug. Thus far this
has been the best season for the farm
ers OF the Northern Neck for many
years. For the last two months hardly
week has passed without bringing
good rain, and the result IL the finest
prospect for bumper corn crop that
has been seen here for decade.
The rain storm that swept over this
section Thursday afternoon was accom-
panied by wonderful display of thun-
der and tightening. The roar OF the
thunder was aimost continuous for
nearly an hour, and hardly q minute
passed without sharp thunder.
Tightening struck the dwelling OF
Lee O. Towles. member OF the Board Of
Supervisors from this district, killing
= dog and slightly shocking several
members Of the family. The damage to
the building was small.

RIGGS BANK FIGHT
TO BE BITTER ONE
Question of Veracity Involved
in Suit Against Treasury Off
cials.

WASHINGTON, April 14.--The issue of
veracity today was clearly drawn be-
tween the Riggs National Bank and
Comptroller of the Currency Williams as
a result of the suit to restrain the Treas
ury officials from interfering with the
affairs of the bank.
In their statement, replying to the
Comptroller's allegations of Irregularities
charged against the bank officials, the
latter declare the Comptroller did not
state "the whole truth" with regard to
certain brokerage transactions.
Another example, of the Comptroller's
effort to mislead the public" the state
ment reads, "can be found in his state
ment that the stock brokerage business
formerly conducted in their individual
capacities has tempted young men and
women to ruin in speculation.
1.-THE Comptroller knows, or at least
ought to know. that such charge Is
utterly unfounded."
The bank also points to Mr. Williams
intimation that the Department of Justice
has had the affairs OF the bank under
consideration for some time, and then
cites the statement, issued by the depart
ment, asserting that the matter had not
been before 1t for official consideration
until the beginning of the suit.
Louis d. Brandeis, of Boston, who has
been retained as special counsel for tho
defense In the injunction suit, and Off
cials of the Department of Justice and
Treasury were busy preparing their re-
ply to the bank which, under the order
of the court, must be answered on FRI

KITTY'S BROWN EYES
COST ADMIRER 5000
Hungarian Drink Also Inspired
Him to Part With Coin.

Meggylelki caused it-meggylelkl and a
pair of sparkling brown eyes. Meggy-
lelkl is a fragrant Hungarian drink and
the eyes belong to Kitty Martin, who,
they say. was born near Belgrade, Servia,
in spite of her name.
That is why Gabor Kish, 80 years old
was held in bail for further hearing by
Magistrate Emely in the Front and Mas
ter streets police station today, and
Joseph Burnos, of 937 North Randolph
street, is bemoaning the loss of his dead
wife's insurance money. Kitty has it,
he says, and Kitty-she is gone, she and
her pretty brown eyes
Burnos met Kitty. the story runs, at a
Hungarian war relief ball at the Mer-
camille Hall, Franklin and Poplar streets
March "a. Their eyes met, she smiled
and Burnos surrendered. They danced.
Between dances, as they slipped the sweet
meggylelli, Burnos told Kitty of the $1,000
he had, his dead wifes insurance money
Kitty's bright eyes grew brighter and on
the way home she suggested that he buy
the international Servian" restaurant,
at 907 North Sd street, which she and
Gabor Kish were conducting. Gabor, she
said, would sell 1t. She would help Burnos
run 1t.
Burnos called on a day arranged and
found the little cafe crowded to the doors.
Gabor and Kitty and Burnos, drinking
meggylelki at a corner table, arranged
the sale and Burnos paid 5000 for the
place. Then he drank more meggylelki
and became sleepy. Kitty offered to hold
his pocketbook while he slept and he gave
1t to her, he said, with S76O in this wife's
insurance money.
When Burnos awoke the place was
dark, the shades drawn. He called for
Kitty, but she was gone. So was Gabor.
He opened the restaurant for the large
crowds he expected, but no one came.
The next day his receipts were $3.12. He
waited for Kitty to return. He grew
excited and smoked 10 packages OF
cigarettes day. Monday aft
ernoon he gave up in despair and swore
out warrants for Gabor Kish and Kitty.
Gabor was arrested by Detectives Dauf-
man and Bender yesterday, but Kitty
she is gone, with her pretty brown
eyes.

poka-dots, or embroidered Scarf pins
will be noticeable by their absence. Dur
ing the past few months, especially.
there has been very little demand for tie
adornments and nothing has been chosen
particularly for summer wear Pins will
not be out of place, however.
Neglige shirts with soft, turn-bacb
cuffs will add greatly to the wearer's
comfort Stiff shirts have practically been
"tabooed" by the authorities" An un-
usually wide latitude has been afforded
the individual in choosing what particu-
lar color or design he shall wear. In
fact, almost anything in the way of a
neglige shirt is acceptable. However,
fairly wide stripes of a conservative ma
ture will probably predominant, with plain
colors a close second. The only restric-
tion on cuff links is to avoid the black
and-white contrast so popular a short
time ago
Another Improvement this year is in the
hose. Socks will be almost entirely in
plain colors. A modest Clock" either in
the same color or in mild contrast, running
up the side. will be proper. as will also
"mottled' or two-tone effect Flashy
colors will be avoided as much as possi-
BILE. Light shades will rule in gloves,
with mocha and bun especially popular.
SENSIBLE HATS.
Hats will be much more sensible this
year. The four inch crown of last year
will be reduced to S1A inches, while the
two inch brlm will be extended to from
2A TO 22s inches. This will give the
straw hats much the appearance they had
before the exaggerated English effect was
introduced two years ago. There will
be some demand in certain quarters for
hats with even larger crowns than last
year. but these will not be considered in
good taste. Panama hats will be very
H. -
They will be given more distinctive ap-
pearance than heretofore by being slight
ly tapered in the crown and having a
rolled edge The taper will be missing
this year from the stiff hats. Leghorns,
or soft straws, will be worn, too.
AS the weather becomes warmer, Palm
Beach colors In ties, shirts and socks will
become more popular In short, almost
anything that will add to comfort will
be the proper thing this summer.

IT'S going to be a glorious, cool sum-

fact, the samples seen in the first ship

decidedly attractive,
Undoubtedly the feature that will ap-
peal most to men of all ages and classes
Is that low. soft collars will be in vogue.
II is predicted that the low, English
round unstarched collars will be worn
even more than the stiff collars this

dressy starched article. Beside the
