LIONS MEMBERS
VISITED PARC0
THURSDAY LAST

The usual weekly meeting of the
Lions Club at the Ferris Hotel was
dispensed with last Thursday in
lieu of which the Club accepted the
invitation of the Parco officials to
pay a visit to Parco and partake of
the barbecue lunch.
The Parco invitation was extreme
ly popular with the local Lions and
every available cub was on hand at
the appointed hour. The size of the
crowd which the Parco people were
called on to accommodate during the
luncheon hour made it impossible for
the club members to engage in any
unified club exercises, and while
there was an absence of the usual
lusty singing there was a corre-
spending evidence Of unusual activ-
ity in the food line. After the Lions
had partaken to the limit of their
individual capacities in true jungle
fashion, a few having urgent bust
ness returned to Rawlins. while the
greater number dispersed about the
grounds to enjoy the various attrac-
tions arranged for the big Parco
celebration.

One day last week the Watkins
family started to Hanna, but a cloud
burst had proceeded them and they
found a deep gulch which was minus
a bridge. Fortunately the road gang
was working near and they came over
and built a bridge. The Watkins
went on to Hanna, and while they
were in town another cloudburst hap
pened, taking another bridge down
to the Gulf of Mexico, and making
the road impossible, so when the fam
lily returned it was late, the bridge
gang was gone as well as the bridge,
and there was nothing to do except
leave the car and make the rest of
the trip by hand, and so they did
that little thing. If it rains much
more we will have no roads at all.
There was a big dance given on
Saturday night at the Charlie Brooks

MOTHER, a., IS
TOLD Of SONS
DROWNING
Family Feared News Would
Prove Fatal to
Mrs. Draper

The nightly vigil of Mrs. Jose.
phine Draper. an eighty.four.year.
old mother, who for weeks has been
constantly on the alert for word
from her son, George H. Draper,
was ended last night when she was
informed that the man found
drowned In the mouth of the Little
River several weeks ago was her
son.
Fear had been expressed by an
other son, Paul Draper, that the
news of his brothers death would
prove fatal to Mrs. Draper, as she
had beer under the doctors care
for some time.
On the day that the mans body
was fouha an article appeared In
The Washington Times giving a de.
scription and Mrs. Draper saw 1t.
She begged Paul to go to the
morgue and view the body to allay
her fears. This was done, not only
by Paul but by several if1timates
of George Draper. out the condition
OF the body was such that positive
Identification could not, be made.
The aid of the police was asked
ana an upper set OF raise teeth
found in the dead mans mouth
were compared with lower set
left In Draper's belongings. With
this evidence and the fact that
laundry marks on a handkerchief
and collir found on the drowned
man correspondent with Diapers
afforded positive proof
The Draper family gathered at
the mothers home at 325 A street
southeast last night, and the news
was broken as gently as possible.
Mrs. Draper verged on collapse, and
1t was necessary to call physician.
George Draper was ffty.seven
years old, and was well known here.
He had been employed IN many re-
spOnsible Government positions ard
had held the position Of secretary
to Congressman and other high pub
lie officials.
During the world war Draper
served overseas with the American
ExpeditiOnary Forces In the role Of
field clerk. His burial was taken
care OF by the Amer can Legion he
fore his identity was made known.
Interment was at Cedar Hill Gene

That police officials made it
appear that Captain Headley

Director Eldridge's office, there

That Captain Headley never
refused or failed to cooperate;
that he had no choice, because

and Director Eldridge's office
were made through the office
OF the superintendent of police;
that anything Director Eldridge
wanted done came to Captain
Headley in the form of an
order from the police superin.
tendent; that Captain Headley
never disobeyed any of the
orders, or he would have been
placed before the trial board
for disobedience.
That many traffic orders, re-
quested by Director Eldridge
and approved by the supcrin-
tendent's office, were purposely
delayed in reaching him.
That in one instance Director
Eldridge ordered a traffic law
change which Captain Headley
did not hear about until ten
days after it became effective.
and then discovered the new
regulation by accident; that he
was never notified of the
change by the superintendent
office.
This information, with the state.
ment that it could be substanti-
ated by a witness willing to swear

During the discussion on the
award, various members spoke from
the floor in condemnation OF dis.
honesty in the business, usually
manifested in the "pirating" of
leased masterpieces from engravo-
graphia members, through the use
of crooked employees.
Officers explained that there was
no legal protection from this evil,
in as much as the copyright laws
do not extend to alphabets, wrought
by hand, because Of the inability
OF the human hand to- reproduce
the same work in every respect. In
"pirated" alphabets the wrongful
user of the master-plate cannot help
but change the letters to some ex-
tent. and therefore cannot be pre-
vented from using the style.

was awarded the $3.50 cash prize for
the winning design.
