automatically and by common oon-

Containers should be non eakable,
non-combustible and non. breakabie.

A BILL containing the following
provision has teen introduced into
the Ohio Legisla lure:
"Provided that inspectors, acting
under the State liquor commissioner,
should have the authority to enter
private residence s without search
warrants whenever they suspected
Intoxicating liquors might be illegally
stored there, and that agents of the
prohibition commissioner might es-
tsblish temporary courts anywhere to
take evidence"
That is the gisi of the provision as
reported in the pross. How much
liberty would the citizen Petain if the
s'dry" fanatics could have their way?

 Curiously enough his words and manner, instead of confirming my own premonition of evil connected with Grace Drapers. return to our life, lessened it materially. 7, 1 real ized that my greatest fear of Grace Draper was a sub-conscious fear connected with the influence She for merly had wielded over Dicky I had tried to convince myself many times from overweening evidence that I had nothing to fear from ~her.on this score, but the feeling persisted, and my spirits leaped at this new evil dence that it was based->-upon no foundation whatever. --'

 that his father, with a few cronies, was enjoying a feast in Farmer
 Greens clover patch
 I'll hurry over to Aunt Pollys
 first" he decided. and tell Mother to beware of the dog
 So Billy Woodchuck scampered off toward the hill where Aunt Polly Woodchuck made her home. When
 he knocked at Aunt PolIys door and learned that Mrs. Woodchuck had left some time before, Billy was much upset.
 Perhaps she went to the clover patch" Aunt Polly suggested. You know your father sometimes forgets to go home unless somebody goes for him.
 We'll, Billy started off again. And i he hadn't gone far when he heard a sound that made him sit up and listen. Like all his family, he had very sharp ears. And now, after | cooking his head oa one side for a 1 few moments, he knew that what he heard was old dog Spot grum bling
 and growing.

What Grace Draper Wrote to Nadge.
 l opened Grace .Draper's answer to my letter with hands that I kept from shaking only by putting forth all my will-power. Had she accepted or refused the offer had made her on Dieky's account? And what would be my own reaction to either decision on her part? At the mo- ment so conflicting were the emo- tions which swept me that I had no 2 answer for my own last query. Dicky strolled up behind me lazily, and looked over my shoulder as I read. His pose of indolent, casual in- terest was too perfect, too studied a , thing to deceive me. I knew that his nerves were as tense as mine over this communication.
 Itopened abruptly, with no date line or salutation, even as had the other letter, the plea for pardon, which she had sent to me when I was in the South. I wondered anew the reason for this, whether under heath her profered repentance there . was not bitterness 5which would not let her prefix even the conven- tional dear" to a letter, although considering the abasement and re- morse which her letter and de- meanor had shown, my theory ap- peared most fantastic.

Captain Jonah Hand, aged skipper, gives up the sea and comes to the homo of his niece. who is wife of Or rin Pesty, at Cardhaven, a fishing village, to spend his declining years: Whfto not entirely welcome at the Petty home, he is kept in ignoranca not long to live and Mrs. Petty is his only living heir. He is supposed to have considerable money saved. .s His first day at the Petty home he -oVerhears s, a conversation between Pearl Holden, better known as "Pearly,' who was bound over to Or rin Petty by the selectman when her folks, died and left her a charge on the town, and Aonl Petty, his neice's S son.

 "Pearly'' is delighted with the
 books which Helmsford brings to his room, and are the one bright spot in 'Pearly's' existence as a maid of all work.
 A mysterious iron box is delivered to the Petty home consigned to Cap tain Jonah. This, naturally, gives rise to the impression that Captain Jonahs fortune is confined to the strong box. . r. The Petty's treat Pearly so badly that Captain Jonah begins to threaten to take a, hand. Pearly is walking a country road with Joe Helmsford, a border at the Petty home one day when she is confronted by Tom Petty who insolently orders her to the house. quarrel between the two lnen leads to blows, during which IsPetty comes out second best.

 'I thought you were as far away from me as that moon up there"
 My, foolish of you!" breathed Pearl, yet delighted. And just be- cause poor Uncle Jonah would give me some of his fortune.'
 All of it, he said" Helmford told her grin1ly. "A hundred thousand dollars. That is 9 great sum, Pearl"
 "Is it?" she asked innocently. Its not so much when it's only in your nind.'

New York. Aug. 23.-While extrem- ists, as we'll as alarmists, are terribly concerned over the Ito be or not to be- of the long, full skirt-smart New York designers go merrily on their way ere ating the graceful straight-lined gowns.
 model of exceeding grace and chic is the Norman & Katz gown of whip -poor-will brocade with it's long panel-effect back and front, the pan els lined with white silk, semi-detac ched in the back.
 Chased metal buttons and a metal belt and the large sleeves are the only trimmings as the brocade speaks for it. self.
 Chenille as a trimming is very much in evidence this fall as is shown in the Realart frock of Roshanara crepe worn by Helen Cunningham. While there is nothing essentially Spanish about the cut of this gown, which is showered with chenille points, the hat is decidedly Hispanic. The gown also has the broad sleeves, and revers open from q vest of lace. The narrow belt sash has long chenille fringe ends.
