Croquet and the mildest archery
ever known were the sports of people
still young and active enough for so
much exertion; middle age played
euchre. There was a theater, next
door to the ANDERSON hotel, and when
Edwin Booth came for a night every
body who could afford to buy ticket
was there, and all the "hacks" in town
were hired. 1.-THE Black Crook" also
filed the theater but the audience
then was almost entirely of men, who
looked uneasy as they left for home
when the final curtain fell upon the
shocking girls dressed as fairies. But
the theater did not often do so well !;
the people of the town were still too
thrifty.
They were thrifty because they were
the sons or grandsons of the "early
settlers" who had opened the wilder
ness and had reached it from the East
and the South with wagons and axes
and guns, but with no money at all.
The pioneers were thrifty or they
would have perished: they had to
store away food for the winter, or
goods to trade for food, and they
often feared they had not stored
enough-they left traces of that fear
in their sons and grandsons. In the
minds Of most of these, indeed, their
thrift was next to their religion: to
save, even for the sake of saving, was
their earliest lesson and discipline. No
matter how prosperous they were they
could not spend money either upon
"art," or upon mere luxury and enter
tainment, without a sense of sin.
Against so homespun background
the magnif1cence of the Ambersons was
as conspicuous as a brass band at
funeral. Major ANDERSON bought two
hundred acres Of land at the end Of
National avenue; and through this
tract he built broad streets and cross
streets; paved them with cedar block,
and curbed them with stone. He set up
streets intersected, and at symmetri-
cal intervals placed cast-iron statues,
painted white, with their titles clear
upon the pedestals; Minerva, Mer-
curry, Hercules, Venus, Gladiator, En-
peror Augustus, Fisher Boy, Stag
hound, Mastiff, Greyhound, Fawn,
Antelope, Wounded Doe and Wounded
Lion. Most of the forest trees had

The program as proposed at present
includes girls and women's drawers
and chemises from bleached and un-
bleached muslin, women's shirts.
night gowns from canton flannel, pet
ticoats. and undershirts from light
outing flannel, girls and women's

of q reply from the Chapters definite
allotments will be sent and production
orders will be filled with cut garments
as heretofore. No charge will be
made to the Chapters.
The immediate duty of the Red
Cross is to supplement the tremen-

who are conducting sewing classes for

Miss Binsaman and Miss Wetzstein
started the work on n small scale but
now Il has grown to such a size that
they are kept busy five days a week
both mornings and afternoons.
Miss Binganan has fifty pupils and
Miss wetzstein thirty-five. They give
each class two lessons week of two
hours each and teach them the first
principles Of sewing, including the var
ious kinds of stitches. The younger
girls are learning their stitches by
making doll garments by hand while a
few OF the older girls, who have al

are making underclothing and dresses
for themselves.
In order to make the work as inter-

The disposition, and even the OBJ

made by the local home service branch
of the Red Cross to find the will OF
James Abadallah, a soldier drafted
from this city, who died in France
Two claimants for the insurance are
in the field. One. brother. z. Aba

the other an uncle, John Salem, re-
sides at 2O6 East Linn street.
According to information received
here Abadallah made a will, designating
his uncle as sole beneficiary. The
brother, however, is seeking to get
possession of the money. and has writ
ten local banks asking them not to pay
over the money to any one else. AS yet
however, there is no money for either
relative, and it is believed there Is
some question as to whether the gov
eminent would pay over the money on

Chaplain Took Statement.
The last person to be with Abadallah
before his death. So far as is of rec
ord here. was Chaplain Eartell Prem
tice. of the Red Cross. On the night
before Abadallah died Prentice was at
the soldiers bedside. He told the chap
lain that he wanted his insurance to
pass to his estate, and had made a will
directing that the estate go to his
uncle, John Salem. zoe East Linn
street, Marshalltown, Iowa. He gave
as his reason that Salem had befriend-
ed him when he was young. and had
given him a home and cared for him
until he was large enough to care for
himself.
It is presumed that a will was not
made until Abadallah entered the SER
vice. for. so far as the Red Cross knows,
Abadallah had no other estate than the
insurance money, and he was not in
sured until after he got into the SER

Ssecessf.l nsA Of
sntSS aRSasck Automsbile

Because there was a sick infant at
the home OF ]. Q. Hall. 7os West Linn
street, at q o'clock this morning. two
or three automobile thieves were pre-
vented from making a successful raid
on the garage of Misses Amanda anu
Theresa Baasch. at 705 West Boone
street.
The baby kept its grandfather awake
and the latter heard a noise In the al
ley. which on investigation, proved to
have been caused by the thieves at
tempting to push an automobile past
the Hall house to Linn street.
The Hall lights were flashed on and
the Baasch home called. but despite
the knowledge that they we're discov-
cred In their work. the thieves pushed
the car to Linn street and there made
a hasty effort to remove flat tire
and make a get away.
Meanwhile the police were called
and Sheriff. Charles Henry, who lives
at T03 West Boone street, adjoining the
home of the Baasch sisters, was sum
moned from bed. The sheriff. with
his SON. law, Hal Pontius, as chauf-
feur followed directions and drove to
Seventh street. thence north to Linn,
in an effort to cut off the retreat OF
the thieves.
The sheriff came on the thieves as
they were working on the car. but the
men beat a hasty retreat up an alley
and We're soon out of sight in the dark
ness.
The car, a Ford. was safely put away
last night in the Baasch garage. but
the owners had failed to lock the door.
Entrance to the garage was easy OF
access but when the thieves discovered
they could not get the car IN motion
attempted to push 1t to Linn street
and make necessary repairs. 1t Is be-
lieved that when the discovery was
made that one Of the tires was fla5the
thieves had in mind the theft Of an ex-
ira tire. 1t was found preparations
had been made to jack up the car.
The jack was found on the parking
this morning. A box containing fif-
teen or twenty safety matches, and
many burned matches were found in
the car.
Sheriff Henry believes the work was
that Of home talent perfectly familiar
with the Baasch garage and with the
fact that the two sisters with their
aged father would be unable to offer
resistance to the theft should they dis
cover the car was being taken.
Mr.. Hall believes there were three
men implicated in the theft, altho ;
was difficult to determine the exact
number in the darkness. Sheriff
Henry saw two men flee up the alley
when he arrived. The garage was en-
tered at time when the city was in
total darkness. The complaint has
been made that the street lights are
extinguished too early and not suffi-
cient protection is afforded property
owners. It is pointed out that almost
every other town in Iowa, including
small towns and villages, are lighted
all night.
