The Fashion of Fluttering Fringe Reaches Its Peak in New
 Straight After
noon Gown.

A novel use of matching fringe distinguishes the afternoon frock sketched today. In place of the cus- tomary deep edging, separate knots of short fringes are placed at regu- lar intervals on both the bodice and skirt sections. Deeper fringe is also used to trim the generous scarf drapery in back.
 This type of trimming is used for two reason. While primarily a decoration, it is frequently means of giving motion to the silhouette.
 Fringe on evening gowns is of matching silk, of glittering beads or of shaded silk. Chanel features a pencil blue chiffon even dress trim med with two deep bands of fringe shading from deep to light blue. This type of fringe and the Rodicr fringe patterned in flower motifs are a bit smarter than the conventional bead fringes.
 I have used soft crepe satin in new bright blue called "Valen- cia" for the model sketched today. Ire full crepe side of the material makes pleasing contrast to the shiny surface of the satin side which appears in the scarf
 A lovely, swaying silhouette is achieved by means of short pieces of fringe placed at regular inter- vals over the skirt and bodice of Valencia blue satin afternoon gown.

Danny Meadow Mouse was uncer- tain in his own mind whether to Nanny Meadow Mouse the news of his homecoming would be good news or sad news. He hoped it would be good news, but he wasn't sure. The one thing he was sure of was that whether 1t was good or sad it would be bad to break it to her suddenly. So Danny had tried his best to think how he could break 1t to her little by little. Then he had an inspiration. An inspira- tfon Is a newly and suddenly born idea. It all came about from looking at his tail. He had looked over his shoulder at his tail very thoughtfully and right then and there the idea had been born. Now that was an inspiration.
 T wish I knew" thought Danny, If Nanny is at home, or if she is out somewhere"
 As if in answer to Dannys thought he heard a little rustic up above and looked up. In the little round doorway of that nest in the bush appeared the head of Nanny Meadow Mouse. Danny's heart leaped right up in his throat. He wanted to rush right to her. But he couldn't. No, sir he couldn't
New Britain herald., 1926-11-01

Something seemed to hold him right there. Perhaps" thought Danny" Peter is right. I am almost sure he is. It will be wisest and best and easiest to break it to her little by little"
 Danny looked about. It didn't take him any time at all to find the path that Nanny used the most often in going to and from the nest. He ran along this path until he found a place offside where he could sit in the grass, yet not be seen.
 This will do," thought Danny. This will do splendidly. I'll just sit down here and be patient. I'll sit here and let that little short tail of mine lie out in the path. Then when Nanny comes running along the path she'll see that little short tail of mine. She'll say to herself, That looks like my Danny's tail Of course. it cant be, but it does look like it. Then she'll come a little closer, so as to see better, and she'll say. If that is my Dan- nys tail it will have a little scar on the under side where he was bitten in a fight long time ago. Then I'll turn my tail over and she'll see the little scar. Then she'll say, That must be my Dannys tail. ha fnt ;e r1; Then I'll say It's me, Nanny and them But that's as far as Dan- ny got. You see, he was very busy trying his tail. He couldn't get it fixed in the path 10 suit him. He didn't want anything more than just his tail to show.
 Its a great idea" said Danny to himself. Tt really will be breaking 1t to her little by little There's nothing much smaller than my tail and if she sees that first, of course, it will be breaking 1t to her little by little"
 At last Danny got his tan fixed to suit him, He felt quite sure that nothing but his tail was visible in that little path. Then he tried 10 possess himself with patience. He fels sure that sooner or later Nan ny would come out of the house and run along that little path. If she did that, he felt sure that she would see hls tail.
 'If she doesn't" said he to him self, "I'll wiggle it. Then she'll be sure to see it. I wish it were a little longer. I wish 1t was long like tho tail Of my cousin. White foot the Wood Mouse, But if it were, l suppose il wouldn't be breaking the news 10 her little by
 itle." So Danny sighed and wait

had no knowledge of Jack Leslie, no acquaintance with anyone who knew him, there was but one avenue of approach to the problem, and that lay through Mary.
 No acquaintance with anyone who knew him." My thoughts echoed back to me with an inter- rogation point attached. I remem- bered that I had met and talked with Noel Veritzen, only son of the great producer, but disinherited and estranged from his father because of the treachery of Jack Leslie. I made a swift resolve to summon the young man at my first opportunity and enlist his aid In banishing Les lie from Mary's life. Then as quickly I rcscinded the resolve. I remembered the sensitive face of young Veritzen. and the brutality which Jack Leslie had exhibited to- ward him the night In the restau- rant when Dicky had intervened and invited the young musician to our table. Any contest between the two young men would be altogeth- CT too one-sided.
 Was Mary a Thoroughbred?
 No, I must deal with this situation myself, and the only angle from which I could approach it would be an appeal to Mary's common sense and generous soul. Yet, how was I to frame 1t without mourning the contemptuous disbelief of the young girl, who like her contem- poraries, made a fetish of despising anything that smacked of senti- ment?
 I decided that a bit of severity would not be amiss. She could not be much angrier than she was already, and I knew that once her first paroxysm of wrath had passed her sense of fair play would assert itself. It was that string which I planned to twang first.
 Mary" I said sharply after a long and uneasy pause following her outbreak, there is only one char itable thing for me to think after that speech, and that is that you have suddenly gone out of your mind. Otherwise I must take back the opinion I always have held of you that you were thoroughbred. with fair play one of your tenets."

Can Madge Reestablish Her

Can Madge Reestablish Her In- nuence Over Mary?
 At Mary Harrison's outburts in defense of Jack Leslie I felt as if someone had just struck me a stun- ming blow. For only too we'll I realized what her angry words meant. She would not have become 50 excited over a fancied slight to a stranger.
 The cabaret dancer must have made frequent opportunities to see her and talk to her since the morn- ing of their accidental encounter in the park, when Mrs. Baker, the mysterious fourth-floor lodger. had swooned at Mary's feet. I paid a mental tribute to his acumen, even as I ragged impotently at his au- dacity and wickedness. He had man. aged to make her partisan of his own and to shake her faith in Philip Veritzens artistic supremacy surely no mean accomplishment for the short time in which he had known her.
 The time had come for drastic ac- tion concerning the cabaret dancer. I saw that clearly and regretted keenly that Dicky was out of reach. He loathed so deeply the man whom he had dubbed the "capering cockroach" that I knew he would have found some means of frightening him away from Marys vicinity. But Dicky was hundreds Of miles away, busted with a commission so important that nothing but an issue of life or death must be permitted to dis turb him. It was of no use to ap- peal to Philip Veritzen. The dis covery that his protege had listened to detrimental accounts Of him from the lips of so despicable a scoundrel as Jack Leslie, and one who had caused such havoc in his own life, would precede by but a few moments his curt severance of all relations with Mary.
 Young Veritzen Not the Man
 There was no other man suffi- ciently interested in Mary to whom I could apply for aid in thwarting the sinister schemes of the night club dancer-and that they were sinister I could no longer doubt, al though I had no idea of the nature of his plans Whatever must be done was strictly up to me-" in Dickys parlance.

 Legal Questions There are, however, circumstances l exactly how drunk a person may have been, since medico-legal ques- | tions are involved If the driver of an automobile is arrested and ac- cuscd of drunkenness. the penalty | is greater than under other circum- an automobile and it is shown that he was drunk, the responsibility of the driver will be lessened.

The maximum amount of alcohol in the blood is reached at the end of one and a half hours after drinking. The alcohol is usually completely eliminated with | in seven hours. Of course, 1t is retained much longer in a dead body.

$2,0O0,00O IN Arizona
During u. S. Fiscal Year

PHOENIX, July Federal internal
revenue amounting to nearly $4,000

June 80, an increase of nearly $685., 900
over what was collected during the
preceding fiscal year, John r. Towles,
United States collector Of internal rev.
enue for the district, announced yes
terday in reporting the receipts of his
office. The approximate figures for
the 1926 1926 year are $1,966,000 and
for the year 1924-1925, $1,6S2,OOO.
"All the revenue collected during
the 1924-1925 period was made under
the old 1924 tax law, while six months
of that collected during the 1925192f
period was made under the new 1926
tax law authorizing considerable re-
ductions in income taxes, which taxes
make up almost all of the internal rev.
enue of this state, hence the figures
indicate that the financial condition OF
the state at large is excellent" Col
lector Towles said in explaining the
statistics of his office.
"Refunds} occasoned by reductions

affect the figures but slightly as these
taxes are very small in this state, sc

Honesty of Boy of 10
Wins Him Reward That
He Thought He He'd Lost

John Cooper, aged 10, smilingly tells
the world that it was a gran and
glorious Fourth" this despite the fact
that at one time Monday he was mired
in the depths of youthful despair. It
was Johns inborn sense, of honesty
which saved his day Of celebration
from being a total loss
John, the smallest of the entrants
in one of the boys races held at the
Fifteenth street park, surprised the
spectators by distancing his larger
competitors and winning first prize.
With his freckled face aglow John
ran breathlessly to H. A. Wimberley to
receive his handsome award, a. big
league baseball Truly, it was Johns
day.
Then it was that Wimberley was in
formed that there had been three heats
in the race and that John had only
run in the first heat, so the prize should
have been given to another lad. There
was little hope that John could be
found as he had last been seen leav-
ing the scene of the race, followed by
a throng of envious youngsters.
Later in the afternoon Wimberley
felt tug at his coat and turned to
gaze down into the troubled eyes of
little John Cooper, who said some boys
had told him he wasn't entitled to the
prize. 1t seemed that he hadn't heard
about the other heats to be run and
he listened thoughtfully to the ex-
PLANTATION. After moment he hand
ed the ball to Wimberley and, with
tears yelling behind his glasses turn
ed sadly away.
Johns day, however, was not lost,
for Wimberley told him that if he
would call at the office of The Doug
las Dispatch he would find another
baseball, as good one as money could
buy.

Due to the financial pressure such
a campaign would entail and the de

that he feels it is best that he With

His statement follows:
ITO the democratic voters of Ari-
zona:
The time has come when in justice
to my friends l must announce my
Withdrawal from the contest for the
democratic nomination for represent
atlve in congress-. This decision occas
ions me the keenest regret, and 1 an
nounce it with reluctance, but it haA
been arrived at after most earnest de-
liberation, and under all the circum-
stances is the only practicable course
for me to follow. I am not Finances
ally able to make the race, and am
unwilling to make it at the expense
of others, although friends who have
no selfish interest to serve have benz
erously proposed to assume the bur-
den. Furthermore, my business in.
terests demand my close attention at
this time, and even though 1 might
personally be willing to sacrifice
those interests to achieve the ambi-
ton which / have so long and so ar
dcntly held, it is my conclusion that
/ could not do so honorably and with
due regard for the rights of inter-
ested parties.
II feel the deepest gratitude to all
of my friends who have sympathzed
with andd encouraged my ambition,
and shall hope for the appearance OF
ways in which l may demonstrate my
gratefulness
There are a number of directions
in which I had hoped to be of some
help to our state and TO the people OF
this country, as Arizona's congress

ticularly anxious to render service to
the farming class and the farming In
dustry, of the crying needs of which

also desirous of contributing to so
luton of the Colorado river problem.
On these subjects 1 may, as a private
citizen, have something to say during
the present campaign. In the mean
time l shall hope that a man may be
chosen for representative who will so
well perform his duty in respect to
the questions mentioned, and other
