The Trial of the RalIoonists


 Prosecutor You gentlemen are charged with purloining, appropriating and stealing goods and ehattels. the property of the United States govern ment, to wit: one perfectly good bal floon. And it is further charged that. with malice aforethought and with or without intent to defraud said govern ment, you did then and there lose said balloon. What is your plea? Judge-May I ask what is the value 1 of said balloon?
 Prosecutor-I haven't bought a ball loon in so long, yerroner, that l can't exactly say. During the holidays I at I tended several balloon sales in the search of some appropriate Christmas gift for the wife and kiddies, but I do not recall the quotations. I under stand, however, that the balloon in | question was Grade A, four ply. Sears Roebuck, hand stitched one with reinforced seams, in good condition and guaranteed not to fade. If you will pardon me l will call up department store and get some quotations and l Judge-What size balloon was it? l Prosecutor-I understand it was size iseven and three-quarters, with a 32- inch wheelbase, triple e-suspension springs, direct transmission, overhead valves, three speed. F. O. B.-Detroit type.
 l Judge-Is it in court now? | Prosecutor-I regret to say we have not been able to produce it.
 Judge-Where is it?

 Judge-Well, I should say balloon , in that condition in that part of the world might be appraised at about tat in tNe writ of complaint.
 Prosecutor-Y Yerroner, I must ob- ject. I am reliably informed that balloon of reputable make is worth a least $7 in any part of the world. l you will refer to the case of Dinl versus Gink, General Statutes, SectioI l5e (Justices Goof and Coop dissent | ing) you will observe that it is specifi cally held that any balloon regardles ] of and notwithstanding

SAVE TABLE CLOTH

When soup is served at the everyday home dinner the use of supper plates under the soup plate or bouil!on cup Is a safety first measure. If the supper plate goes to the kitchen after the sour course perfectly immaculate it's a very simple matter to dip it in scaIdine water and wipe it when doing the dishes. If the supper plate was needed under the soup plate the table cloth was spared and the plate is much easier to wash than table cloth.

 One way to keep a balanced pocket book as well as a balanced diet Is to use less expensive vegetables when the meat costs more. In this dinner a salad is not necessary as the cranberry jelly supplies the piquant touch and the onions the minerals.
