two old friends spend the weekend
with her, when her cook suddenly
developed a case Of temperament
and left without notice"

gested to Mr.. Woods that maybe
she could find another cook and
have their friends just the same
he waved her idea aside and said
il couldn't be done.
She talked TO MRS. Gordon and
Mrs. Carter on the phone and asked
If they had heard Of any unattached
cooks, and both ladies replied with
great firmness that, when il came
to getting anyone by Saturday, it
simply couldn't be done.
But Mrs. Woods was one OF those
people who. when they get an idea,
stick to it and so she phoned q
Help Wanted ad 10 The News-Times.
And next day she was so busy
interviewing the applicants she
didn't have time to phone her hus-
band or Mrs Gordon or Mrs. Carter
and tell them that she had found
Jewel Of a cook and that every
thing was all right for the week
end. Yet
Everybody Said It Couldn't Be
Done!

this establishment.

Durrell, $31; s. D. Moran. S31. and
the Kay Bee clothing store, $31.
The police declare that Holland had
S175.1O when he was brought TO the

he managed to put over more bogus
checks which have so far been I'M
reported.
Tho Same Method.
According to the story the police
received from the various merchants.
Holland carried out practically the
identical plan in all Of his deal
ings." At the Elbel store, he stated
he wished to pay 50 on Helen John
sons account, rendering a check for
sS6. The Elbel people Immediately
credited the Johnson account and
gave Holland $31 cash in return.
He next visited the S. d Moran
store and paid like sum on Hattie
JohnSOns bill. The Moran people,
it is said. also returned him S31. The
Kay Bee people refunded him S31

declared that an accomplice Walter
Butch. white, was the one who made
out the checks and devised the
scheme for getting money for them.

uled TO meet Butch at a restaurant
at South and Lafayette St, but the
police took him TO this police and
Butch" was not found. He was
then taken back TO the station and
an examination Of his handwriting
was obtained. They claimed that

Main Street! but
Quite a Contrast
to Lewis Version
Electric Display Paves Path
for New Great White Way
In South Bend.

Main street "blazed away" last
night in direct contrast TO Sinclair
Lewis version Of the thoroughfare,
but quite in accord with the ever
popular "Old Broadway"
The reason:
Three mammoth electrical signs
gracing the Oliver hotel, oliver the
alter and The News-Times buildings
were in operation. the first two
named throwing their initial illumi-
nation.
Saturday night shoppers in the
business district, especially n. Main
St, stopped in amazement to gaze at
the daylight aspect" the street
took on" as the huge mechanical
devices cast their fare in all direc-
tons.
The sign on the Oliver hotel is the
biggest of the trio, and with its myr-
lad of revolving lights can be seen
plainly for several blocks. The the
alter sign is somewhat smaller than
the hotel sign, and is the "off and
on" type, with the revolving lights
also on the outside The News-Times
sign is stationary and tends to COM
pete with the light throwers" al
the other end OF the block.
That the erection of the new
signs on Main st. is but a step to-
ward making this street "the gay
white way" is the opinion Of sew
eral business men Of the city. They
declare that with the board OF
works proposal to widen Main st.
from Colfax av. TO La Sale av., TO
make it conform with the street
from La Sale av. north to Navarro
ST., will be another step in this d.
rection. The board also plans to in
stall the new boulevard lighting
system along this street after the in
itial Improvement is made.
