q while with him.
"A friend and I went down to the
city to 60 to a picture show that
evening and again saw him at
Third avenue and Nineteenth
street. He was talking with Of
ficers Miner and Epperson on the
corner and We went over and had
a few words with him again. In
leaving him I said to him, Take
good Sare of yourself and he an
swered that he might get a chance
to call me by telephone later. Tha:
was the last saw of him."
Known by his close friends as
"JimmiH Green, he was loved by
all Of them. He could be seer
walking the streets when he was
on duty and having kind word
or eueression for everyone.
On all sides in the city OF Rock

same as usual. We can hardly
realize that such a terrible thing

Edward Miner was one Of the ia

Mrs. Anthony FrSnch Merrill In
~ second lecture Of the series Civ
~ TO tri-cfty women at the Outing

seeking Of good books because good
eooks Open the door to greater ap-
peociation OF life and bring visions

The speaker recommended the
reading OF IAN Introduction to

Mrs. Merrill spoke at some
length on the tendency OF the
world today to learn more about
the foreign peoples and countries;
Indian, China, Russia and to read
books of travel. autobiographies
and memories, as the expression
Of the general mind for wider
knowledge of world politics and
world dominion. growing out of a
keener desire for world peace.
She felt the novel. especially
stories like Main Street. of impor-
lance, and books Of that fix picture
the life OF today in mOnotOnous de-
tail and are destitute of the real
riches which books Of real life,
travel and biographies offer SO
abundantly.
She called attention to the fact
the prize story OF the year had
been about Africa written by he
Negro Marian, and in its terrible
vivid recounting OF conditions and
vices in the Dark Continent, had
been the most realistic book pub
lished.

by reading books" said Mrs. Mer-
rt1l, "and they should be good

Paris, Oct. 17.-The Parisienne
has gone mad over baton-nets en-
broidery. She is using it today on
coatsp afternoon gowns, hats and
children's frocks. In effect it is
much like the little colored nat

pupils work out patterns. Baton
nets are short, fiat little lengths of
color made of special composition
and fastened on gown or coat in
