New York.-The first real test of

crime solely through chemical, scien'
tific and analytical deductions resulted
In failure in the court of general ses-

Stefano for ten-year-old Title Browns
murder was dismissed when chemists
of the central testing laboratories adj

used in strangling the child on the
blade of knife found in De Stefano's
possession.

The Spirit of Universal Service.
There is a phase of this entire work
which has appealed greatly to US here,
and that is the whole question OF ma
tional service. Here is an opportunity
for every man, woman and child in
this country to contribute Immediately
and directly to the winning of the war
It should be possible to show to the
entire population that there is at least
one point in which all may serve in
this struggle. There should result
not only saving, but the sense OF serv-
ice, sense of contribution to the war
itself, and a proof of loyalty and sup
port in each and every individual.
If we can secure allegiance to this
national service in our 100000
kitchens, our 20,000,000 breakfast,
lunch and dinner tables; if we can
multiply an ounce of sugar, or fats or
what not per day by 100,0O0,0OO peo-
pie, we have saved 1S0,000,000 pounds
in a month. If we save a pound OF
flour per week, we save 125,000,000
bushels of wheat per annum. 1t Is
this multiplication of minute quanti-
ties-teaspoons full-slices, scraps
by 100000 and $50 days that will
save the world Is there anyone in
this land who cannot deny himself or
herself something? Who cannot save
some waste? Is not your right to life
and freedom worth this service?

SEVEN KITTENS GET
JOBS IN CONGRESS

Washington.-A job has been
found for Congressman Austin's
secretary's cats seven kittens.
They will he welcome down on
the floor below in Representa-
tive Hulberts office. Mice are
overrunning the place. They
are as bold as bulldogs. Frank
McEnnany, Mr. Hulbert's secre-
tary. says they climb on the big
leather chairs and watch him
derisively as he tries to work.
The other night the mice ate up
all the free seeds that Mr.. Hull
bert had for distribution among
his constituents. That is not
much of a disaster, in view of
the fact that his district in New
York Is one of the most thickly
populated in the greater city
and the people wouldn't know
what to do with the seeds if he
sent them on. What is of i'm
portance, though, is that the
mice also ate up a bas-relief
model of the East river, He'll
Gate and Wards island, being
attracted by the excellent quail
ity of glue in the papier mache.
He'll Gate Is most precious
thing in the eyes of this con-
gresham.

lat the present time, when SO
many flags are displayed. this
aroused no suspicion, ans it was
a matter of only a few minutes
to place the large Easter basket
bankruptcies, and all other Easter
emblems, prizes, etc, after the
guests arrived.
The center basket contained
the usual gay colOred Easter
eggs, surrounded by little golden
hens, ducks and white cocks. all
supporting tiny flags. light
Itwo-course lunch, with the pre-
dominating colors of gold and
white, was served. The same
colors and emblems were also
carried out in nut cups, napkins
and place cards.
There were various games
suitable for Easter, also several
patriotic and flag games. APP
Ipropriate prizes, first and BOBBY,
suitable for each game, were
awarded.
Brightly colored paper eggs, on
which had been pasted half of a
current war event, and trying to
match up the balance Of the sem
Ience, caused great fun and
amusement, before the boys
found their partners for supper.
| Chester's vacation was short,
and he appreciated the good spir-
lit which prompted his young
friends to plan such pleasant
Evenings surprise for him, and
tall present expressed themselves
as also enjoying the evening.
