Suddenly tall. rather distinguished

Instantly the earrings were jerked
out of the girls ears, her cigarette
was thrown to the floor and hastily
stepped on, the cigarette holder was
cked into her bag and she rubbed
her napkin briskly over her lips.

they twinkle forth their message OF

Criminal Case Record
Set So Far During 1921

Criminal cases in Wayne circuit and
city courts set a record during the
past three months. according to rec
ords at the court house and city hall
Prosecutor Beckett handled 40 Grim
inal cases in the two courts.
In circuit court 46 cases were tried.
seven of these were before a jury.
One jury case was the shortest in the
memory of local officials when a jury
was impanelled, the case tried and a
verdict rendered in one hour and 81
minutes.
Seventy-four cases were tried in city
court.
Liquor cases led the field when 90
cases were brought before the judges.
Convictions in all but two of these
were returned. In one case the jury
disagreed and the other was dismissed
because of the incompetency of the
prosecuting witness.
Turkish authority has never been
actually and fully recognized by the
Arabs.

PYTHIANS IN STATE
NUMBER TEN THOUSAND

Greensboro, June 14.-With repre-
sentatives of practically every Pyth-
ian Lodge in the State present, the
annual meeting of the Grand Lodge
of the Pythian order in North Caro-
lima got under way here tonight. The
initial session was featured by the
address of Grand Chancellor r. S.
McCoin in which he reviewed to a
great extent the work that has been
done during the past year.
He finds that every goal set at the
last meeting of the Grand Lodge has
been attained, as the membership in
the States is now we'll over the 1O,-
900 mark and over 1000 new mem
bers have been added during the
year.

sion of the Golden Jubilee tonight

DEMPSEY CARPENTER BOUT
WILL BRING A MILLION

New Yorw, June 16.-The Demp-
sey-Carpentier boxing bout for the
worlds championship at Jersey City,
July 2, will draw the greatest ;'gate"
in the history of sport.
! A month before the fight, Promoter
| TEX" Rickard announced that the
seat sales totalled $65O,OG0. Since
that day, the sale of all seats has
gone on briskly except for the $50
pasteboards, which are exhausted,
and the general admission seats, to
be placed on sale the day of the
fight. Rickard estimates that approx
i imately $1,000 persons will pay ST.
100000 to view the ring action at
Boyles Thirty Acres.
Those figures will eclipse by far all
previous records for ring contests or
any other sport in this country. The
WillardDempsey battle at Toledo, o.,
which established the previous re
cord drew $451, 900 at the box office,
a puny figure as compared with what
the coming spectacle will attract
The Harvard-Yale football game
and the Indianapolis Speedway Races
are annually reckoned among the
| largest and most widely patronized
sporting events in this country Last
fall, 10000 persons were jammed in
to the Yale Bowl when Harvard met
the Bull dog and the total receipts
were approximately $25O,OOO about
,one-quarter of the amount which will!
be paid for the coming fight. The at
tendance at the Indianapolis Speed
way event usually ranges between
100000 and 125,OOO but total re.
ceipts fall short of what Rickard and
his assistants will have gathered in
when the gong sounds for the frst
round of the Jersey City battle.

UNUSUAL CONDITION
Texas Lady Suffered With Pulling
and Aching Pains in Her Back,
Which Cardui Relieved.

Houston, Texas.-Mrs. c. d. Cook, OF
1912 Witty Street, this city, recently
said: About four months after my
marriage, :. began suffering much
pain, and, knew that my condition was
unusual, but couldn't just decide what
was wrong. l had to go to bed.
"All across my back and hips were
pains, pulling and aching until could
hardly sit up. stayed in bed few
days. My husband had heard of Car.
dui so I told him he might get 1t.
after I had taken Cardui few
days, was up. took five bottles and
haven't been in bed since for this
trouble, for if have the least symp-
toms of this trouble I get Carduil and
take it in time.
ST have a number of friends who
have used Cardui, and they recommend
it very highly"
The experience of this Texas lady
is similar to that related by thousands
of other women.
Cardui is purely vegetable, and mild
and gentle in its action. Cardui may
be the very medicine you need If suf-
tering with womanly troubles.

ment now seems ready to do we may
pose the question why they have not
been ready to do the same these last
two years.
We now look to the future. BY a
happy initiative which should have
been taken much sooner our Mr.. Lou
cheur and their Herr Rathenau have
just met at Wiesbaden.
That conversation has served as a
substitute for meeting of the allied
supreme council-that solemn sys-
tenn which up to now have appeEred
empty The meetings of that body
which were always attended by ex-
traordinary publicity succeeded most
Iy in rendering parliaments useless
and have resulted in chorus of news
paper quarrels of which we have had
enough. 1t is now question of get
ting down to work and seeing what
will be accomplished after the Wies-
baden conversation.
The primary question at Wiesba-
den of interest to all the world, was
reconstruction and reparations in
raw materials. France has no OBJ
lection in principle to reparations in
kind, as I already have explained be-
fore the New York chamber of COM
merce, but we must always read be-
tween the lines. Suppose for ex-
ample that reparations in raw ma
terials takes the shape of a house.
Sixty per cent of the cost is figured
in material and 40 per cent in man
ual labor. In what concerns raw
materials we consider that French
industry ought not to be jealous of
its natural right to deal with French
regions and should not stand in the
way of German shipments. 1t is evil
dent that French industry has the
Iright-which it already has used
to work in the devastated regions.
But it must not be hypnotized by
these regions because it also has
France first and then the remainder
of the world as its field ac activity.

REGAINING USE OF
ALL HIS SENSES,

Denver, Col, June 16.-Deaf,
dumb, blind and paralyzed in every
limb, so helpless that it was necess-
ary to feed him by means of a tube
through his nostrils, unable to feel
smell or taste or even to think, to
all intents and purposes unconsci-
Gus, Luther Dionne was carried into
the county hospital here nearly eight
years ago. Today he can hear, see
smell, taste, feel and, in a limited
fashion he can talk. His right side re-
mains partially paralyzed.
Never was a man nearer to being
dead though alive than Luther
Dionne eight years ago, says the doc
tors at the hospital.
Dionne's brain was operated on
the powers of life were redeveloped
Came the day when he could move
one finger, then a whole hand, and,
after weeks he stirred his head upon
its pillow. One day, he spoke.
AS yet Dionne's speech is confin-
ed to a whispered yes or mo-,
but he can make himself understood
On map he can point out the town
of his birth, and with a pencil he
can print 1aboriously the name of the
village.
