$500 GIFT TO RED
CROSS SAVES MILL
Cottonseed Hoarders Avert Closing
Down Order from Hoover.

With a promise to contribute 500 TO
the American Red Cross and to obey
the regulations of the U. S. Food Ad-
ministration in the future. the WASH
ington Cotton Oil Company, of Ten
mile, Ca, will be allowed to keep its
license.
This company was found guilty Of
boarding cottonseed. 1t had been
keeping on hand a larger amount of
cottonseed than that stipulated by the
Food Administration as its require
ment for sixty days. Officers of the
company, at a hearing. confessed that
they had been violating the regula-
tions and offered excuses. Upon weigh
ing the facts and these excuses, the
Food administration, while feeling
that it would be justified in revoking
the license, decided that on account
of the location of the mill and the
scarcity of crushing facilities in that
section, it would be unfair to the COM
munity to shut the company down.
The $500 payment will be made
through DR.. A. NJ. Soule, Federal
Food Administrator, of Georgia.

PERFUMED BURGLAR SHOT

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 1S.-A man
known only as THE perfumed bur-
glar," is believed to be dying in a
North side hospital today as the re-
suit of bullet thru the lungs fired
by a pursuing policeman. Numerous
burglaries on the North side in re-
cent months have caused the police
men to be on the lookout for someone
bearing the scent of violet perfume.
Portions of paper left after wrapping
up loot, or a dropped handkerchief
have yielded but one clew-violet per-
fume.
An influenza patient in first apart
mcnt Tuesday night heard some per-
son in the one above when she knew
the occupants were away. and tele-
phoned the police. A wagonload ar
rived, some guarding the front. 9TH
ers the back of the building and 9TH
ers going upstairs. AS the officers
entered man leaped across a six-foot
shaft to another apartment, frighten-
ing two women into Mysteries and
leaving a trace of violent perfume be-
hind him as he fled to the street. A
policeman sent bullet into the fugi-
tive's back. Search of his clothing
revealed many pieces of jewelry and
the odor of violet perfume.
