CHECK
TRAIL LAID
T0W0MAN
Maryland Mother Arrested
After Police Hunt of
Three Months.

After battling the police for more
than three months, during which she
is alleged to have cashed more than
fifty worthless checks, Mrs. Nora
Lawson, forty years old, of Col
lege Park, Prince Georges county,
/, Nd, was arrested last night at her
home by Detective Sergeants Vermil-
lion, O'Brien and Thompson.
When taken into custody the
woman pleaded with the detectives
TO free her so she could remain at
home and care for her two children,
one two and the other seven years
old The detectives insisted that she
accompany them. Mrs. Lawson be-
came hysterical and was removed to
the Washington Asylum Hospital for
treatment.
Mind Believed Affected.
At the hospital this morning II
was said Mrs. Lawson had been ad-
dicted to a patent medicine, which
probably had affected her reasoning.
making her irresponsible for her
acts.
At least fifty shops in the District
were fleeced by Mrs. Lawson, the
police say, through the bad checks
given in payment for shoes, clothing,
foodstuff. and other articles. In
passing the bad checks Mrs. Lawson
is alleged to have used q score OF
names.
Most OF the checks she passed were
for small amounts, ranging from 81 to
SIS.
Almost daily reports were received
at pclice headquarters that a woman
had passed a worthless check on one
shop or another. Detectives Vermil-
lion, Thompson, Cox, Embrey and
Pratt had been detailed to the case.
The description of the woman Tailed
in each case.
Yesterday the trail led to Mrs. Law
son, and her arrest followed.
Victims Of Fraud.
Detectives saw that in most cases
the woman gave an amount above the
purchase price of the articles, receiv-
ing several dollars in cash from the
transaction. For instance, the woman
went into the shop of X. Kneesi's
Sons, 425 Seventh street northwest,
and purchased a handbag for $3.50.
She gave a check for $40. receiving
$3.50 in change.
other victims of the woman included
]. III. Buscher, butcher in Center mar.
ket; Walter r. Ney. sol Pennsylvania
avenue northwest; J. J. Kafka, Tenth
and F. streets northwest. and several
department stores. All of the checks
were drawn on banks in the District,
and when put through the clearing
house were found to be bogus.
Because of the woman's condition,
the detectives did not take her into
police court today. 1t is believed she
will not be able to leave the hospital
within n week

CRANBERRY RECIPES.
Try This on Your Meat Grinder.

Cranberry Relish-Take the desir-
ed quantity of cranberries for use.
Put them through an ordinary meat
grinder. To each cup full of ground
berries, add equal amount of sugar.
Stir and mix thoroughly so that the
sugar will melt and form a syrup. If
it is to be used Immediately, it is de-
sirable to place on radiator or the
back of a stove, giving just sufficient
heat to hasten the melting of the sug-
ar but under no circumstances
should heat enough be applied to
cook the berries in the slightest de-
gree. Keep in glass jar or earthen
dish. This will be found a deliciou;
relish for general use at all times.
Cranberry Sauce.-One quart of
cranberries, two cups boiling water.
1 12 to 2 cups of sugar. Boil the
sugar and water together for five
minutes: skim; add the berries and
cook, without stirring five minutes
is usually sufficiently until the skins
are broken.
Cranberry Pie.-Have ready a
partly cooked pastry shell and pour
in sauce when cold, made by the
above recipe. Put strips of pastry
over the top, and finish baking in a
moderate oven.
Cranberry Jelly.-Cook until soft

EXTRA SESSION
 IN TWO MONTHS

Charles w. Fairfield, state auditor, speaking at the convention of the Ari- zona Bankers Association in Castle Hot Springs, declared that Governor Thomas E. Campbell had directed him to inform the bankers that unless there was a decided change in plans during the next two months, special session of the state legislature would be called in January.
 "The legislature will be brought to- gether for the purpose of considering purely financial measures, MT. Fair field said after he had announced that his statement regarding the special session was made on authority from the governor.
 "I have the governors promise", he continued, "that proposed banking legislation will be considered for in- clusion in his call. I do not know whether this is the proper time to in- troduce complete banking code, as ordinarily special session is prone to attempt to confine it's work to a short period of time"
 MT. Fairfield declared that Arizona was "sadly lacking" in legislation for proper regulation of it's state banks.

FRENCH MEDALS FOR TANKS
Special Commemorative Emblem to Be Presented to All, Americans
 Who Served.

All Americans who served overseas as members of units of the French command during the World war are to receive handsome decoration from the French government, to be known as the French commemorative medal.
 Distribution will be made from the office of the French military attache at Washington. It Is estimated that from ten to fifteen thousand Ameri- cans are entitled to the medal. Since they are scattered all over the coun- try, the French government has ap- pealed to the more than eleven thou sand posts of the American Legion to publish the news of the medal offer to eligible veterans.
 The medals are to go to all Amerl- can citizens who served during the World war, as members of the French army and navy; as physicians, nurses, pharmacists or administrators in French sanitary units between August 2, 1914, and November II, 1918; as members of relief agencies under French command, and as motor drivers, operators and secretaries in tie regular organizations of the French armies.

the big mill put in shape to operate; the roads to the camp and mines made passable and everything possible done to get the property economically on it's feet. Today the camp is a neat and prosperous-looking town, having well-attended school, an excellent boarding house, good lodging houses and other necessary appurtenances of an uptodate mining town.
 The mines are showing life, force of men being employed in the explor- ation of the levels of the G. A. R. and a shaft being sunk below the 800 level of the Occident. And in all the de- velopments ore of a high milling grade has been found, some of it running into the old time values that first made the camp. Men of means and importance are looking after the financing of the property, men who know the mining game are in charge of the work of development. And it will be but a short time until the big mill is in readiness to begin crushing the rich ore and forwarding the great bars of bullion to the mint.
 While these quickening influences are at work on these great mining properties the men who first set foot on them have passed with the great majority to the other side-Patter- son, Burness, Schaefer, Robinson and Sullivan, whose work first made it possible to attract the mining world to that wonderfully mineralized dis trict. But the Indian, the real dis coverer of the district, is still alive, and poor as the poorest tribesman, forgotten, although, giving to the world one of the greatest silver sec- tions of the globe.

EIGHT MISTAKES
 OF LIFE
< < !

1-The delusion that individual ad- vancement is made by crushing others down. 2-The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected.
 that a thing is impossible because we ourselves cannot do it. 4-Attempting to compel other per- sons to believe and live as we do. 5-Neglecting development and re- finement of the mind by acquiring the habit of reading fine literature. 6-Refusing to set aside trivial pre- ference, in order that important things may be accomplished. 7-The failure to establish the habit of saving money. S-By not trading at the CLAYTOR COFFEE CO.,, where the Foods are New and Fresh and Priced within your reach.
