Africa that are of special interest.
The animal life Powys treats in two
sketches, one Of a zebra. guarding the
body Of its dead mate. the other or a
leopard whose padded footsteps bring
terror to the baboons roosting on the
rocks. Both are unforgettable. OF the
native African he tells two powerful
tales, both strikingly like stories from
our own Southern States. Rubbish

who runs away and then is 50 beaten

boy who, under great provocation,

CURB MARKETS
REVIVED IN
ST.L0U|S
Vendors Who Pebble Fresh
Vegetables Patronized by
Rich and Poor.

ST. LOUIS, June S.-Old familiar
scenes of the line Of market has
kets dangling from the arms OF
thrifty housewives on their way to
the ''curn'' to purchase freshly
gathered vegetables, have been re-
vived in st. Louis.
The return to the Grub markets
has brought back sights which long
ago had passed out of existence.
Early morning, starting at dawn,
the run" on the market begins.
Curb trading is fascinating-to
the women traders participating
and to the observers. The women
come from the homes of laborers,
professional men and big financial
leaders, but stand on equal footing
at the market to do their trading
for the table. All are attracted by
the fresh fragrance Of tho green's,
the spirit of the trading and the
low prices of the products.
The producer, unlike those Of
olden days, loads his machine up in
the country an hour before the
market opening and speeds to his
location. Business usually opens
up with rush.. as the early buyers
are there in large numbers to get
first pickings."
Six curb markets have been es-
tablished in st. Louis bv truck
farmers and the fields of production
extend to a radius of more than
fifty miles Of the city. TIL, markets
have been opened in both the ex
elusive and poorer sections of the
city.

CTS HE married or
single 2" is a favor
tie question asked Mrs.
Miles Poindexter when
the conversation con-
Germs Senators and Con
gressmen. Interest in
men of affairs seems to
center more on the per-
sonal side than upon
their individual achieve
ments. The fact that a
man married the former
Miss So-and-So, or is
still an eligible bachelor,
seems to be Of more
human interest than his
great, or peurile, oratory
in support of a national
project.
To answer this popu-
lar curiosity, Mrs. Poin-
dexter, writing in The
III e all Sunday, runs
through the Senatorial
Who's Who and COM
nents on the unattached
gentlemen of the Hill.
In the married group
she reports "there are a
number Of older men who
are wise enough to select
very young and attrac-
tive women for their
second wives" In some
respects Senators are
still quite human. With
N a m e 8 and intimate
chatter of the Congress
sional parlor, this makes
interesting reading. Next
