Rain Worth I thousands
to Wayne Farmers

That Wednesday nights rain was
worth thousands of dollars to Wayne
county farmers was the opinion ex
pressed Thursday by ]. c. Kline
Wayne county agriculture agent. The
rain fell heavily and was general
throughout the county.
Corn, strawberries and garden
crops, especially potatoes, were sore
ly in need of rain. Strawberries were
beginning to produce little, hobby Der
ries on account Of this lack of mois
ture, but the rain will serve to in
crease their size.
Wheat did not need the rain as bad
ly as other crops.

NEW GRAND Jury TAKES
Up MURDER CASE TODAY
Indictments Against Gamble, New.
man and Mrs. Burgess Ex-
H. pected at Once.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALEXANDRIA COUNTY COURT
HOUSE. June 25.-A new grand jury
was impaneled today and Immediately
took up the case Of Charles Gamble,
Robert Newman and Mrs. Catherine
Burgess, charged with the murder OF
John P. werres, Washington jitney
driver, who was beaten to death on q
road in this county May 9.
The grand jury is expected to re-
turn indictments against the two SOL
diers and their woman companion
some time this afternoon. Common
wealth Attorney Frank L. Ball will
endeavor to have the three arraigned
as soon as the grand jury makes it's
report, but it is probable that this
will be postponed by the court until
10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Separate Indictments.
Commonwealth Attorney Ball said
this morning the grand jury is being
asked this time to return separate
indictments instead of one joint in
dictment The original indictments
were Quashed by the court when the
prisoners were arraigned yesterday,
the defense making the point that the
grand jury which first considered
the case was illegally constituted.
Werres, who worked in the govern
ment printing Office and drove an au-
tomobile after working hours. took
the two soldiers and Mrs. Burgess for
a ride into this county and never re-
turned. Nearly a week later Gamble
and Newman were arrested in Rich

body of the slain chauffeur later
was found in the woods near Fairfax

 nor high collars should be worn by
 young girls. The tight collar, long
 worn, will ruin the contour of the
 neck and spoil the naturally beauti- full poise of the head as well. Simi- ! larly tight collars not only injure the neck, because they restrict breathing,
 but they are also likely, if used too long, to redden the complexion. If a gown requires high collar it
 should be made either of lace or of net, and then should be neither too l high nor too tight, regardless of what fashion demands. Sensibly adjusted,
 and worn only occasionally, there can not be much harm in the moderately high collar.

SALTING

Although saltilg is less used than most other methods of preserving vegetables, it nevertheless has sev- eral distinct advantages, points out the state college of agriculture,
 The progress is simple, RequirJs no expensive equipment, and helps in the shortage of tin and glass cans, as in many cases large crooks may be used for storing the salted vege- tables String beans, kohl-rabi, pars- ley, swiss ehard, and like vegetables, for example, will keep well when packed in alternate layers of dry salt provided enough brine is added two days after they are packed to cover them completely.

RHODOPE

Rhodope was a celebrated Grecian courtezan who was fellow-servant with Aesop at the court of the King of Samos. She was carried to Egypt by Xanthus and purchased by Char axes of Mytelene, the brother of Sap
 pho, who married her. She gained great riches and built one of the pyr- amids. Mythology says that, while she was bathing one day, an eagle carried away one of her sandals, and dropped it near King Psammetichus, at Memphis. The latter sought the owner and after finding her, induced her to marry him. Rhodope lived about the year 610 B. c.

Low, Loose Collars a Boon

as required will help in developing a lovely. swan-nke throat. Sometimes a few simple exercises are all that is needed to change the shape and the carriage of the throat from awkward to lovely lines, and from ugliness to grace.
 Exercises and Cleansing.
 A simple exercise that will keep the neck round, well developed and graceful is to bend the head forward and to lift it slowly to an erect posi- ton ten times Then bend 1t back ward and erect the same number of times. Repeat the same motion from right to erect and then from left to erect position. Another more difficult exercise is to lie flat on the floor and to lift the head up and down ten times.
 When washing the neck first cleanse it with hot water and pure soap, then dash cold water on the throat to give hrilliancy to the skin. Finish off with a good cold cream massage and light powdering.
 But all this exercise and treatment will be of no avail if you constrict your throat with tight neckwear. Wear open throat gowns as much as you can. If you wear collars, keep them as loose as neatness permits. Keep Neck Uncovered. Give the preference to lace collars , which permit the air to circulate about the neck even when so covered. And never, never wear any but a white collar around the neck. The custom of wearing collars of dark fabrics will l tend eventually to discolor the neck. 1 One of the daintiest of summer fashions is the wearing of the light tulle scarfs around the neck. They soften the lines of face and throat

 Soak salted tomatoes for two hours. Remove a slice from the top of each; take out seeds, and fill the cavity with a mixture of boiled hon. iny grits, barley or rice, well sea- soned with onion, papFika, and ground peanuts. Place the tomatoes in a baking dish, and add enough ! stock to cover them. Cover the dish and bake it slowly until the toma- toes are tender, which will be about one hour.

FASHION NOTES

A bag of faille, braid trimmed and satin lined is an important essential to the summer frock.
 The newest nightgowns have deep side slashes, much like a nightshirt. outlined with dainty lace.
 A pale pink batiste frock should be trimmed with real fllet lace and girdled with blue tinsel cloth, glinting with gold and silver threads.

and give to the costume the light f1n- ishing touch which so many women require. For many women do not consider themselves well dressed un- less they cover their necks with scarfs or collars of some sort. This fashion doesn't injure the beauty of the neckline, because there is no tightness nor uncomfortable height to the drapery around the neck.
