GRAND Jury ENDS
DANSEY BABY QUIZ
Rum0r No Indictments Returned
in Case of Boy Found
Dead in Swamp.

MAYS LANDING. N. j., Oct. 12.-
The grand jury which was consider
ing the death of five-year-old Billy
Dansey, who disappeared from his
home at Hammonton on Oct. s. 1919.
and whose body was found in a
swamp six weeks later. yesterday
handed up it's presentment to Judge
Robert 1ngersoll in the Atlantic
County Court. 1t will be opened in
court Wednesday.
A statement issued by the grand
jury, praising the work of Edmund c.
Gaskill in the case, indicated thai no
indictments had been found. Charles
s. White, a dahlia grower. who was a
neighbor of the Danseys. and MS
housekeeper. Mrs. Edith l.. Jones, had
been accused in the case and are now
at liberty under $4,000 bail each.
Much criticism was directed against
the office of the Atlantic County
prosecutor because friends of the two
accused persons declared that there
was unnecessary delay in proceeding
against them. Thousands of dollars
were spent on the case by the county
and detectives were imported to study
the disappearance on the theory that
the child had not wandered away and
died OF starvation. but had beeL
killed, perhaps accidently.
In view of this criticism. persons
who have been following the. case
argue that the jury would have made
no statement upholding the prose-
cutor IL indictments were returned.
Judge Ingersoll last night dis
missed all the witnesses and the
grand jurors, and aUounced that the
presentment would be impounded
until Wednesday, when IL would be
opened in court. While the jury was
taking testimony and celebrating

Goughlin cases have several points OF
similarity.

the jury yesterday was Charles

on the White farm when the baby dis

The prince plans to visit India next

with gossip that the future queen OF

chosen by that time. +,
The, prince is twenty-six years OF
age. but so far he has not shown any
particular preference toward any Eu-
Topean princess. In his democratic
tours OF Great Britain and the empire
he has shown partiality toward girls
of plain families rather than toward
the daughters Of rich and noble

SAN FRANCISCO Oct. 12.-Kisses--
not those fluffy CONNECTIONS you buy
at the bakery but the soul-exhila-
rating touch OF the lips--are the
natural enemies of "divorcitis."
Given and received In moderate
quantities. and with degree of reg
ularity based only upon ones hours
Of work and play, kisses will usually
vanQuish whatever divorce germs may
be prowling through the system Of a
husband or wife, and re-establish a
state Of marital health.
For instance: You and your mate
may have. quarrelled over some com
paratively trivial matter the night
before. You have argued yourself of
to sleep and in the mind Of -one or
"divorcitis' has begun to propagate.
You awake In the morning slightly
ashamed of yourself for rowing" but
too proud or stubborn to admit It,
Breakfast is a glum affair.
Now! Just before leaving for work
what II you slipped over to where
your wife was wearily "redding" the
table, or your husband silently clam
bering into his coat, and relieving the
strain with a kiss?
Not just a perfunctory peck, you
understand-but a real honest to gra-
cious kiss. preferable accompanying

Pouff. The life Of that nasty little
divorce bug. which will surely cause

wife, with a new JOY and kind re-
solve In her heart will whisk the
dishes into the kitchen to the Tilt OF

No convalescence is more rapid nor

cleansing of the soul.
But the morning kiss Is going TO
do much more good than tongue
lashing. Henry" IL he Is worth hav-

with remorse for hts conduct. that
tongue 'ashing only makes him ad-

bellious.
Kiss him, stubby beard and all. and
let him see that you still have faith
in him and love him. Later on talk
to him sincerely about his actions.
Take my word for it. he will appre-

will be no case of "divorcitis" follow

CURRENT COMMENT
The American Beefess Days.

One way to reduce your expendi-
lures of beef, that is, roasts and steaks,
is not to eat them. They are now cost
| lier than ever before in the recollection
of the trade, and it is the trade that
is advising them off the list of edihles
until prices drop.
For a vast majority of people this
advice is superfluous--th recent ad-
vance in the cost Of roasts and steaks
from ten to fifteen cents has stopped
consumption. But why this jump in
price Without the slightest warn
ing came the advance a week or two
ago and in the last day or so another
increase has followed, and yet no word
of explanation.
The retailer passes the buck to the
wholesaler, who in most instances is an
agent Of the beef barons. The barons
blame the cattle raisers, and the cattle
raisers declare they are losing noney.
That is probably as much knowledge
on the subject as the erstwhile con
sumner of roast beef and steaks viii
get.
But he has his remedy, or revenge,
in his ability to go without beef. The
weather is all in his favor. Besides,
month or two with minimum Of
heavy food and maximum Of green
stuff viii tone up the physical ccndi-
ton of the average man, woman and
child.
Still, abstinence from beef eating is
an unsatisfactory way TO end profit
eering, and the public has every right
to think that there has been much
of this going on. What is demanded is
that the government take a hand and
remedy the situation by one Of sever
al means if there is unfairness. If
the prices are justified the people ought
to know what is the cause Of The re
cent skyrocketing But who expects
the Washington authorities 10 cure

nation on anything !-Brooklyn Stand

AN ADVENTURE IN BROTHER.
HOOD.

HOOD.
Those eighty-four fresh air children
from New York City, who have ar.
rived in towns of southern Vermont to
be cared for by generous hearted pco-
pie of that section during the remain
der of the summer, have something
in store for them that they win re-
member during all their future years,
For most of them it probably was
the longest journey they have ever
taken from their homes, which
itself is an event to be stamped in
delibly on their memories; but the
glorious life in the open country whore
the sun foods the earth with its radi-
ance, the flowers bloom in all their
beauty, the fruit grows plentifIlly and
the birds sing their sweet carols each
morning and night--such contrast
to the huddled life of the great met
ropolis-is bound to impress them
most deeply and in their late adult
years they, most of them at least, will
recall their summer of 1920 in Yer
mont with especial delight. 70 those
who have generously opened tleir
homes TO welcome the little strangers
eager for the new venture there will
also come a blessing in the form of
pleasure over seeing the youngsters
have full and free enjoyment in ma
lures great playground; and, barring
some of the inconvenience which the
hosts will have TO put up with, i will
be a season of enjoyment that viii
also be remembered with keen de.
light.
There is the element Of human broth.
echoed in this fresh air scheme which
commends itself most heartily. These
Vermont people take the children into
their homes and, although the chill
dren are total strangers 10 them, they
treat them with as much considers ton
and if they were their own offsprings,
no reward and desiring unne
other than the pleasure which the con
ferring of enjoyment on someone else
may bring. No doubt the children have
been selected with reasonable care as
to their physical fitness and thus the
hosts are spared some of the evils
which might be thrust upon them were
it not for proper medical supervision.
Otherwise the Vermonters take them
as they come and do for them as best
they can in the period of time allotted
for the vacation. II is a fine example
Of human brotherhood.
