In the same second, the half-breed

himself across the fire at Ainley

had looked up at Stances sudden
warning was bowlGd over in the
snow with the half-breed on the top
of him. The knife was lifted, but
never struck, for in that second An
derton also had leaped, and gripping
the half-breed's wrist he twisted the
knife from his grasp, and finging it
away, dragged the attacker from his

Stane, after a word or two with An

JACh FELL III
BY GEORGE T. FONDA
New York, Vice President. National

Safety Council
It is startling to learn that nearly
one-half of the $4,000 persons acct
dentally killed in the United States
last year met death in and around
their homes. The greatest single
cause of these deaths was falls and
the victims were not all aviators and
ste~epleiacks.
A person falling from the top of
q building will make the front page
of a newspaper. another, equally
dead, who fell from a ten-foot ladder
may get two lines on an inside page.
Tho less spectacular accidents get
little publicity but continue to claim
their victims.
When hanging a picture, busting
the top of the doc and doing many
other things around the house Which
| require us to reach above our heads,
It is much easier to use a rocking
chair or a piano stool than to go to
the basement for a ladder. But every
time we use such a substitute we risk
death or broken bones.
Even when you use the ladder you
must be careful. A rickety steplad-
der may be just as dangerous as a
rocking chair. If not fully opened or
IL leaned up against the wall, 1t may
slip and cause a serious fall. Always
stand in the middle of the step to
prevent the ladder from tipping. The
folding shelf was intended to hold a
bucket of water; 1t is not strong
enough to hold you.
There are other causes of falls be-
sides ladders and their substitutes,
among them tripping and slipping.
Poor Light. broken boards in the floor
misplaced furniture and other OBJ
iects and rugs with the corners
curled up are likely to cause one to
stun BILE and fall. Watch your step
by all means: but 1t is much safer to
correct these conditions.

O, How many American men OF
| today are college graduates? How
many of these men are political
leaders? N. o.
A. The Nations Business says that
in spite of the fact that less than
one per cent of American men are
college graduates, this one per cent
has furnished fifty-flve per cent of
u Presidents, thirty-six per cent
of our Members of Congress, forty
seven per cent of the Speakers of
the House, ifty-four per cent of the
Wee Presidents, sixty-two per cent
Of the Secretaries of State, fifty per
cent Of the Secretaries of the Treas
ury, slxty-seven per cent of the At
torney Generals. and sixty-nine per
cent of the Justices of the Supreme
Court.
@. Is there a species of sea nettle
in Chesapeake Bay which does not
sting at night? e. S. w.
A. The Smithsonian Institution
says that all species of sea nettle
sting by night as we'll as by day.
However, there is a marine verte-
brate known as the ctenophora
which is similar to the sea nettle in
appearance and is characterized by
the absence of nettle cells and there
fore does not sting. This particular
species is common in Chesapeake
Bay.
@. In the original form what was
the "kiss of peace" of the early
Christians? A. d.
A. AS an emblem of fraternity,
the early Christians passed from one
to another the "kiss of peace" which
had been given to his nearest neigh
Dor by the person presiding at Holy
Communion. The custom was in
stituted by St. Paul.
c.. At what temperature should
canned fruit be kept? w. II. X.
A. Canned PRODUCES whether in Tin
or glass should be stored in A cool,
dry place not exposed to freezing
temperature. Freezing may cause
breakage in glass and will cause a
deterioration of the food product.
Most products in glass will bleach or
darken If exposed to light so unless
the storage room is dark, slip PAPER
bags over the cans OF store in the
original p~asteboard containers. A
temperature of sixty or eighty de-
grees is not injurious to we'll canned
products but during very hot wealth

casionally to be certain that there
are no leaks or other signs OF spoil

@. Why does food continue to
cook after it has been placed in a
f~ireless cooker? S. M.
A. Food cooks as long as it rs
at cooking temperature. This tenn
perature is attained before the food
is placed in the freless cooker. The
cooker is merely a receptacle 50 con-
structed that there is practically no
loss of neat.
Q. Some time last summer there
was presented to Sweden by the
United States, a bust of one of its
kings. Will you please give me the
name of this king and the date of
presentation? w. O.. II.
A. A statue of Gustav III, the first
monarch to recognize the United
States as an independent nation. was
unveiled at ~Gothenburg, July 4, 1928,
at the end of Sweden-American
Week.
@. Would instruments used for
observation of heavenly bodies at sea

Governor Of the Federal Reserve
Board, M. Crissinger will not be
permitted to accept any salary
for such service even should the
President give him Il recess ap-
pointment as he is expected to do.
Therefore, Crissinger faces q stu
alton working for Uncle Sam for
nothing, although his salary as
Governor of the Federal Reserve
Board is $4,000 a year.
Mr.. Crissiager was nominated
to be Governor of the Federal
Reserve Board along with James

as Comptroller Of the Currency.
Crjssinger was named as the sue
cessor Of ". P. G. Harding,
whose term as Governor Of the

Orioles And
Holy Name Game
Junior Championship !
at Stake and Game
i'm Important

1t is expected that those who
come to the Armory tonight will
not be disappointed for the game
between the Virginia Orioles and
Holy Name Society quints, from
all indications is going to be a
battle royal. This game is the
third and final tilt of the junior
championship series, the winners
becoming junior champs, like
wis., winning the Goldsmith tro-
phy-a silver loving cup.
The Orioles have an enviable
record for the season, having 4
string Of twenty-three wins and
three defeats. The Crimson and
gray lads have defeated Wash
ingtoh's best. They defeated the
Alexandria High School by IS

les.
In the lineup of the Orioles we
find Dyson, Dreifus and Roberts
who have all performed on the
court for the Light Infantry this
season. Dyson and Dreifus play
ed on the high school varsity
for three years. In the other
two positions we find Leo Lyons
and "Lucky" Rowland, who have
performed creditably for the Or
ioles for the past two seasons.
In the utility role Schoeni looms
up as a dangerous man.
The Holy Name Society quint
obtaining a late start were badly
handicapped at the beginning, but
they have improved steadily by
winning seven games out of their
last eight starts. The Holy Name
lads also beat the high school
by a score Of 22-17 in the second
game of the series.

TRIES TO BAR RIVAL

Washington. Feb. 28.-An in
cident without precedent in the
history of the Supreme Court
took place today, when Harris
Kobey challenged the right OF
Oliver j. Miller to be admit
ted to practice before that tri-
bunal. After few questions,
Chief Justice Taft decided that
Mr.. Miller was qualified for ad-
mission.
Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Kobey, both
of St. Louis, are on opposite sides
of a lawsuit in the court. Mr..
Kobey urged that Mr.. Miller had
not been admitted to practice in
the Federal Court for the East
ern District of Missouri, whence
the lawsuit arose.
The Chief Justice called Mr.
Miller, who said he had been adj
mitted to appear before the Mis-
souri, Supreme Court nine years
ago. The Chief Justice, with what
seemed a little Impotence, dis.
missed the objection.

Many Homes To
Be Minus Mail
Service Will Stop for 2300
TomorroW-Must go
to Office

Two thousand three hundred
householders will be obliged to
go to the general delivery win
dow at the post Office tomorrow
to get their mail unless between
this time and the time of the
first delivery tomorrow morning
proper mail receptacles are in
stalled in keeping with an or
der recently issued by the post
office Department of the United
States Government.
Postmaster f. Clinton Knight
this morning announced that
those who had not erected these
boxes or prepared some fit con-
tainer to receive the mail by to-
morrow would automatically be
dropped from the lists Of the
mail carriers.
Many boxes are being erected
daily he said. On Decembe" l.
400 householders were equipped
with boxes and yesterday the
count showed 3O95, or an in
crease of nearly % per cent.
Sixty per cent of the homes will
receive delivery as formerly.
This cutoff in mail service is
not to be permanent, for when
the houses have been properly
fitted if the post Office is noti-
fed service will be resumed as
formerly.
This order was made necessary
by the greatly increased work that
has been thrown on the postal
employees in every section Of the
country. The boxes will be q
means of effecting huge labor
saving in the department.
In this city 1905 of these mail
receptacles have been erected
leaving 1890 homes without them.
