AGENT GABRIEL
PROTESTS A LOT
Wanted to Coryince.t the JUS

Edward Gabriel, like the angel pro.
tested his innocent loudly this morn.
ing before Justice Conway, and while
he didn't use horn, he used both
hands and many words and some gem
uine tears. Gabriel testified before a
large audience that he represented the
"Car Owners Protective League of
America" which had its headquarters
in Pittsburgh and that he had been in
the city at least two weeks selling
protection" to number Of gentle
men.
Nearly everyone present sympa.
thized with Gabriel this morning, feel
ing that perhaps he had been made a
victim Of a clever scheme. Justice
Consway remarked: ut isn't you we're
after, Gabriel. but your company and
as you represent It, we've got no one
else to go after He suggested that q
little less talking might be OF adyan-
tage on the part Of Gabriel. The
young agent was 30 excited he want
ed to do the representing on himself
in place Of the attorney who sat close
beside him. Gabriel said he was will
ing to give all the money back out Of
his pocket II the men testitying
against him thought he was dishonest
and he backed his statements up with
tears.

ing the company which Gabriel repre-
sents has no property in this state to
proceed against and no certificate
from the state to show permit or IL
cense to carry on business here. He
claimed the same business was being
carried on In Pennsylvania and Ohio
but did not know whether under per.
NIT there or not. He supposed so.
The protective policy looks very
much like IAN insurance policy In the
manner In which 1t Is drawn. The
opinion of Attorney Musgrave was
that Gabriel had fallen into trap.
The case, after being argued until
noon, was dismissed until five this
evening. Attorney Musgrave immedi-
ately teiegraphed the secretary Of
state to learn whether the "Car own
ers' Protective Leageu of America"
had deposited any charter there.

There is Omething of q question in the minds of housekeepers-those who are thoroughly converted to the week. ly menu system, as to whether 1t Is wiser to go to market first, and make the menus afterWard, or to make the menus first and then market to fit them. Which is the most economical and easiest? If one goes to market first one can buy fruits, vegetables and staple supplies which happen to be cheapest that day and season-and use them to good advantage in the m 4nus planned later. On the other hand, if the menus are planned first and the marketing is done with the menus in hand, it will be easy to buy exactly what Is needed and no more. The ideal combination seems to be to KNOW the local marget as we'll as pos- Ab1e by observation and by study of the daily market news and price lists then 10 make the menus according to that knowledge of the markets, and later go shopping, armed with both menus and market knowledge.
