 Committec-Picnics Arc Arranged
 The number of reckless driving and speeding cases being brought before Judge Griswold in the Berlin town court this season runs far below that of other years, according to the judge today.
 When asked for a possible reason for this sIackening of cases, Judge Grswold stated that it may be at tributcd to the fact that there arc moro cars on the road this year than ever before and there is not as much of chance for speeding as has been possible before.
 Three cases were brought up before the court last night, two of them on reckless driving charges,

No Parking Ordered


 No parking will be the rule in the future on the corners where Pleasant, Church and School streets intersect, according to action taken by the council. The intersections Of the streets have proven a popular place in the past for parking too close to the corners themselves with the re- suit that accidents have taken place and many narrow escapes have been recorded. The state laws on the sub Ject have not been adhered to so that the council decided to make rulings.

few GIRLS KNOW HOW
TO PRESERVE BEAUTY
"There'S never fLolVer that
blooms in Nay
That's half so fair as thou ar"
-BuTOn,

Recently a noted authority on hu-
man skin said that in the summer
time so per cent of the people lack
the proper amount of the natural
oils which the skin must have to
keep it clear. smooth. soft apd at
tractive, because harsh winds and
weather use up more than the
supply which the system can fur
nish.
Naturally, then, if you don't pro-
vide the skin with this deficiency,
you must not complain If your skin
Is rough and looks scaN whenever
you put on your face powder this
summer.
Girls and women who are using
the Cold Cream, which bears the
well-known Black and White label,
put a thin film of it on the skin
each night. This soothes the irri.
tation, prevents chapping and keeps
the skin smooth and lovely. Then
in the morning they wash the sur.
face with a lather of Black and
White Soap. which don't rob the
pores, glands and skin tissue OF
the benefits they get from the cold
cream during the night.
Black and White Cold Cream,
soap, ETC., are economically priced
in liberal packages. The SOC size
Black and White Cold Cream con.
tains nearly three times as much
as the 25c size and can be had OF
most all dealers.

Wagner Widow AT So
Still Jealous Of His
Old .SWeetheart

BAYREUTH, Bavaria, July
27.-Frau Wegner's refusal to
permit Tristan and Isolde" to
be sung in the Wagner festival
has been the subject of much
discussion among Wagnerians
who are here attending the first
revival of the festival since it
closed so dramatically at the
beginning Of the war.
Rumor has it that even at the
ripe age of, eighty-six the
widow Of the great Wagner is
still jealous Of Mathilde Wesen-
donck, the friend of Wagner
when he was an exile in Swift
zerland, who is supposed to
have been the inspiration for
the opera based on the unhappy
love affair Of Tristan and
Isolde.
Several Of Wagner's most
celebrated songs were written
to poems by Madame Wesen-
donck. She is also known to
have influenced Wagner greatly
at the time he began the
libretto for "Parsifal," but it
was not completed until long
after Cosima Won Bulow had
got a divorce and become the
wife of Wagner.
Consequently she had con-
siderable part in influencing the
composition and staging Of that
opera.

aire father, a brewer, in Spring

him out of Jail, but no word came
from the family.
r. M. Newman attorney for the
two, described Engel as a young
fool who doesn't need to do these
things" He made no comment
regarding Mrs. Shaw, who was at
tractively dressed in steel gray
from head to foot, and even had a
gray handkerchief, except he prom.
ised that every check would be
