After every meal we had to sweep and scrub the floor os the dining room and kitch- en, scruD all the table tops, wash all the dishes and pots. We also had to eel q barrel of spuds and dp other kitchen work. We start ed in at 6:3O a. m. and worked steady until 7:3O D. m. with one hour tsF in the afternoon. We worked hard but everyone was jol- ly and the time went fast.
 My original plans were to so to a special training course given at the Univrsity of Oregon at Eugene, and, be there for six weeks; but about tFe time I was supposed to report there. they decided to dis continue the course and I had the privilege of withdrawing Or going to GeoIia and I accepted the latter.
 Please drop me a line when you have tme and I will answer and keep in touch with you. l have heard very litle from Alaska during the seven weeks that have bee, down H.re and would be glad tC have vou Serd me any clippin%E from IT" paper, when there appear any ,tems of particular interest.

FROM HER, She SWEARS
HE DENIES FLIRTING IN SUB
WAY AND SAYS HE TOLD WON
AN SHE WAS BLACKMAILER.

NEW YORK, May IA wink of the
eye, a smile and a coincidence of
names led Ler to speculate i'll Wall

fed Mrs. dcnrietta L. Ball yester-
day refore Supreme Court Justice
Philtin and a jury. Her husband,
Joseph w Ball, automobile dealer,
is suing James w. Ball, stock broker,
for the $4,000 he says Mrs. Ball drop
ped in guessing the market wrong.
A sealed verdict is to be returned.
Mrs. Ball testified the broker wink
ed at her in subway car in Dec,
1912, and introduced himself She
met him in the Martinique Hotel tea
room later He persuaded her to in
vest in stocks. Losses followed, and
she testified she said to the broker
81 am losing now What will my hus-
band say? l can't sleep nights
The testified that the broker an
swered it took money to make money
and urged her to put up more.
IF you give me $1,000 I will make
81 GOO for you in a week." she quoted
him
"Re said he took a great interest
in me because of the coincidence of
names and he said, leave it to me
dearie, I'll see you don't lose

offices, she became hysterical about
her losses. Il told him ] was about

her for her household expenses.
The defendant took the stand and
denied he had fiirted with Mrs. Ball
in the subway. He said she had called
him ON the telephone and said she
had seen his advertisement and wish

the similarity of names provided a
"hunch."
The broker denied that he had
winked at her. He said she never
told him the money was her husbands.
On the contrary, he testified, she said
she had money in the bank to do with
as she pleased.
