PULLED THE WRONG SHIRT

My husband had brought a friend home to dinner and I was anxious to make, as good an impression as pos sible," a Washington hostess relates. T prepared the dinner with the greatest of care and thsr, feeling that my husband needed some spe- cial instructions regarding the serv- ing of it, l rushed to the bathroom where l thought he had gone to get ready
 Just at that inst; mt he was in the act of drawing a clean shirt over his head and in a spirit of elation over the lovely dinner we were about to have. l seized the tail of his shirt and giving it a vigorous tug ex- claimed proudly: Ting a-ling; din ner's ready!
 My stock of self-pride took quite slump when not the head of my husband, but that of his friend, came through the shirt. Los Angeles Times.

FATHER HELD FOR. CH|LDREN's DEATH.
Denies Responsibility For Burning Of Three Tots At
 Phenix City

OPELIKA, Ala. Oct. 22.--I. H. Hart of Phenix City, father of three chill dren burned to death In an apart ment house on October IS, was brought here today from Columbus, Ga. and lodged in the Lee county jail.
 The arrest followed the post nor tenn examination of the bodies of the three children held at the graves at Richmond. Ga, Sunday night. The examination was conducted by pr. Ashby Floyd, assisted by State Fire Marshal Shaffer, Sheriff John L. Moon of Lee county and H. K. Dick inson, solicitor for Lee county, and others. The examination disclosed nothing that could aid the officers in their clue as the bodies when ex- humed were found to be in a bad state of decomposition. Hart had also visited the graves of the dead chill dren and he was arrested in Colum- bus soon after his return therefrom. He refused to make statement ex- cept through his brother-in-law, who says He knew nothing about the fire and was in Columbus, Ga, at the time."
 Nevertheless, he is being held in custody in connection with other in- The Offt- cers will continue their thorough in- vestigation in an effort to clear up the mystery.
 The state is working on the theory that two men were seen in the rear of the building just few minutes before the fire began. This strength ems the theory that the fire was of incendiary origin.
 Post Mortem Test Made
 MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 22. - Especial Leased Wire. )-Post mortem examination has been made of the bodies of the three children of MT. and Mrs. l. H. Hart of Phenix City, burned to death in a fire October 13, according to a report received today by c. E. Johnson, state fire marshal. The bodies were in such condition that 1t was impossible for physicians present to render professional opin- ion as to whether the children met with foul play before their bodies were disfigured by the flames
 A number of articles of clothing, the time of the fire. were received by Mir. Johnson today. An examina- ton at the state laboratory of stains in the clothing revealed that they were not blood marks as was at first suspected.
 The three children who met death in the fire of the 18th at Phenix City were Marvin Hart, age 14; Dorothy, 9, and Elsie, z. Their father, l. T. Hart, was arrested at Columbus, Ga, Sunday. charged with first degree arson in connection with the death of his children.

Oats Never
Cooked so quickly
Quick Quaker Oats
Cook in 3 TO S minutes

Your grocer now has Qmek
Quaker Oats, as we'll as the style
you know.
Quick Quaker, perfected by our
experts, is the quickest cooking oats
in the world. 1t cooks to perfection
in 3 to 5 minutes.
Both styles have that exquisite
favor which has won the world to
Quaker. Both are faxed from queen
grains only-just the rich, plump,
havory oats. In both we get but
ten pounds from bushel.
But in Quick Quaker the oats are
cut before taking. They are rolled
very thin and partly cooked. So the

is all. And the small thin fakes
cook quickly.

look for Quick" on the label. You
will get the quickest cooking oat

, that a charge of 50 on all express and
| freight shipments TO Mexico would
seriously handicap their trade. 1t was
charged that many rush orders are
received from Mexican merchants for
goods worth less than the amount of
the wise charge and that often they
were for goods too bulky to be shipped
by parcel post.
Consul General Ruiz said with the
announcement of the new ruling that
the same charge is being made on
goods shipped to Mexico from any part
of the world. He does not believe that
the charge has injured trade in any
way, since the total imports into Mex
leo from this country have increased
considerably in the last few months.
The certifying OF invoices was necessi-
tated. he said. by certain merchants
VIII orendered false invoices to customs
officials to avoid import taxes.
