A novelist recently found himself in a
train with two talkative women. Hav-
ing recognized him from his published
portraits, they opened fire upon him in
regard to his novels, praising them ina
manner which was uncomfortable to the
sensitive author.
Presently the train entered a tunnel, and
in the darkness the novelist raised the
back of his hand to his lips and kissed it
soundIy. When light returnd he found
the two women regarding one another in
icy silence.
Addressing them with great sauvity
he said:
'Ah, ladies', the n regret Of my life

Never before was my husband ner-

had tried more than twelve months to
avoid. He had a p%remOnition that this
tour over the middle west would end
in disaster. He had used every honor
able means to get out of it.
MY husband knew that electrical
storms create vertical air currents, the
hot air going up and the cold air COM

cription, he said. break an airship's back

added:

Here's the stunt: Yesterday, to
day and tomorrow we publish
photographs, one each day, OF
movie stars-with other stars eyes.
Readers OF The Times are expected
to tell:
1-WhOse eyes are these?
Whose is the rest Of the face?
The pictures are made by cut
ting a strip, containing the eyes,
from one photograph, and passing
1t over the face of another photo
graph. For instance, Mary Pick.
ford's eyes might be set into Pola
Negri's face, or Bill Harris substi-
tuted for those Of Charlie Chaplin
The reader must tell who is the
r;ghtful owner of the4eyes and who
belongs to the rest OF the face.
What to Do
Keep this picture, with yesterday
and tomcrrow's, and when you have
ali three, put them into an envelope
and send to The Man on the Box

Today's photo lie bit more diff

day. It completely changes the ex
preston of the handsome gentle

Perhaps it will help If you will
place a bit of paper over the eyes
and then see II you can tell the
owner of the remainder Of the
face. Then cover the rest Of the
face and look at the eyes.
A knowledge Of movie stars and
observation of their facial charac'
teristics will be Of great help to
entrants In this contest. 1t is a
test Of observation, knowledge, and
memory. ). There is no way to hit

The sweeping charge made by the
grand jury Of Washington county
that Frog Hollow, alleged fendez-
vous for moonshiners, Is controlled
by a criminal element which is
openly defying the law and author
ity has stirred officialdom and
aroused a storm Of protest from
citizens of the county.
Two violent deaths, both hay'n
the earmarks OF murder and neve
thoroughly investigated, 1t is claim
ed. and a series of fires in that
section followed the efforts Of the
law-abiding residents Of the Hollow
during. the summer and fall, to CO.
operate with squads of prohibition
agents.
Frog Hollow is a narrow strip OF
hills and mountain along the 70.
tonac river extending from Ante

here that the notorious Jack Hart
escaped lifer from the Maryland
penitentiary, is said to have hidden
and other. criminals are said to
have fled there and joined the in:
creasing number Of moonshiners and
bootleggers.
Frog Hollow came into wide
prominence over q year ago when
rival gangs of moonshiners engaged
in a night battle in which one man
was wounded. Appeals were made
by law-abiding residents Of the sec.
