him that New York couldn't possibly

every possible chance that the dance
craze will, after all, not die out so
quickly as the pessimists profess to
believe that it will.
And that is not all. Skirts are to

CHICKEN DINNER
CLIMAX TO FUNERAL
A NEGRO SOLDIER, HIS ALLOT-
MENT AND NEWLY ACQUIR-
ED STEPFATHER.

NEW YORK.-Jacob Johnson, or
rather negro soldier of very sim
liar name, had no sooner landed in
France than he received word of the
second marriage of his mother. Sus-
pecting that his new stepfather had
a business eye on that monthly allot-
ment check which he had arranged
should be sent his mother by the war
risk bureau, he forthwith asked I'm
Gle Sam to discontinue it.
But, as sometimes happened, the
payments continued, and Jacobs
monthly stipend suffered a continued
deduction of SIS monthly.
He landed at Hoboken last month,
and before he was discharged began
writing to his mother, who lived near
Albany, demanding the return of his
money. There was no reply. Finally,
about the time he received his dis
charge, he managed to locate an aunt,
who wrote him that his mother han
disappeared and could not be found
anywhere.

psychology, but his race instinct told
him there was one thing which his
forebear could not resist-a funeral.
Therefore, he framed a telegram.
"Your son Jacob killed in race
riot. Funeral next Saturday at p.
m. at Bethany chapel" giving the
name of the little town near New
York
At the appointed time Jacobs
mother, stepfather and aunt arrived
at the church in a brand new auto
mobile, to find the corpse alive and
fighting mad. To his excited cues;
tions, "Where's my money!" did
YOU get nv 'lotment?" aye dom think
I'm sportin' 70 oil man, do ye?" The
mother answered, "Lawsy, chile,
done spent all yo' 'lotment fer dis
automobile ter come to yo' funeral!
The funeral dissolved into free
for all fight, and the Red Cross home
service worker who was called in at
police headquarters was seriously
embarrassed for lack of solution
of the knotty problem, when the wise
old negro woman suggested: Calm
yo'self down, Jake, an come on home
wild us in de auto. Der's a big fat
chicken at home all picked an ready

Following a little tactful persua-
sion and several further references
to that fried chicken and gravy the

rapidly toward Albany. A very lively
corpse" had piled his barracks bag
and his appetite into the back seat.

IEIGHTEEN-POUND BEAN
GROWN BY A DENVER MAN
Needs Little Care, But Grows Two
Inches Every Day.

DENVER, Colo.-A bean 1920
times as large as an ordinary bean,
thirty inches in length, and weighing
eighteen pounds, has been raised by
M. E. Lenordson, of this city. 1t
comes from New Guinea and is one
of the largest and rarest varieties
known in the United States.
Last winter Mr.. Lenordson pur-
chased eight of these beans from a
San Francisco seed house. He plant
ed them in a basement of his home
and in the spring transplanted them
in his back yard. From the eight
beans he obtained two vines, which
have produced 200 beans. The run
ners cover over 500 feet of the yard.
The majority Of the beans are from
six to eighteen inches in length and
grow two inches daily. They are a
light green in color and, according
to Mr.. Lenordson, require no care
except a bucket of water daily.

of sounding brass and tinkling SYM
balls to the extent of becoming brides

relief from the anomalous position
of being married" although hus-
bandless, if the Craft bill, passed by
the house of representatives Monday

ment whenever a party who has de-
serted his or her consort for more
than ten months fails or refuses to
return to the performance of his or

The author of the measure was log

situation that exists as to such
couples. as to the necessity for the
girl or woman to adhere rigidly to
the single standards while a similar
observation on the part of the man
