sINN FEIN'S DISGUISER
Barber Reveals Himself as Dyer OF
Rebels Hair.

BIZ United Press
DUBLIN, May 13.--"I regularly
treated the hair of Michael Collins
and other Sim Fem leaders. SO as
to disguise them when they We're on
the run. On one occasion changed
President Cosgrave from a fair man
to dark one"
This was the defense entered in
the local courts here recently by a
barber in answer to "a womans
charge of "unskillfulness" in treat
ing her hair.
She had claimed damages and not
withstanding the defense was
awarded $50 damages.

Inere were others IN the Office,
however. who felt that the gravity
of the situation demanded Scare
heads" and More vigorous action.
A telephone call from Diana Brooks
informed Donald Keene that she had
just received word from the wife of
the convict-or. ex-convict-Copley.
"She told me to meet her at tn
department store this afternoon at
2 o'clock" said Diana over the wire.
"She told me she had some informa-
ton for me. I'll come right up after
I've talked with her and tell you all
about it."
Donald glanced at his watch. 1t
was then 1880 p. m. of the third day
after Roger Brooks had dropped
so mysteriousiy from the sight and
ken Of his family and friends. That
mornings issue of the Times had
carried brief story acquainting the
public with just the surface facts.
City editors of other papers glanced
at the story, read 1t carefully and
wondered.
Don had two hours to walt for
Diana, he told himself.
Promptly at 2:30 she entered his
cubby-hole of an office. the place
where he, as literary editor Of the
Times, pounded out his column Of
editorial comment and reviews of the
seasons best sellers.
Another disappointment-or sl-
mostr she announced dolefully.
(Which means-almost what?" he
asked.
"Well, 1t means everything and
nothing at ALL" replied Diana. ut
means 1 have tn number of a house
close to where dad is being held
close, but. The woman couldn't
get tn exact number, she told me,
but she discovered tn location. It's
one of four houses in X street be-
tween numbers 6S4 and 6SS. Is there
a chance-?"
Anything is possible. Dia" he put
in. at ought to be easy to locate
him unless"
He paused momentarily. Then:
UNLESS, to use a colloquial term,
we give them a tumble and they
spirit him away again from right
under our noses. Bullet me
think"
He was silent for a moment,
weighing the possibilities Of a plan
that had suddenly taken birth in his
mind. Diana Brooks waited anxious,
hopeful.
i've got the nucleus of an idea,
he went on finally. you go home
and wait until I call you. But try
and prepare yourself. so that in the
event of this matter going wrong
you won't feel the disappointment so
keenly. 1 think my little idea will be
productive of good results. But
we can't tell, of course, until We try.
III do my level best though, Dia.
You may be sure of that"
''I know you will, dear old friend"

throaty tones of her voice. ~ know

Trying to Save Other

jamestown. n. d., March 2l.-LP)
Christ Liebig, and Monroe Rab-
nowitz, each eleven years old. were
drowned in Pipstem river here Sun
day when they ventured out on thin
ice which gave away beneath them.
The story of the drowning is one
of heroism on the part Of Monroe
Rabinowitz, who, having safely
crossed the ice, went back in "a vain
attempt to rescue his school mate,
Christ Liebig.
Both boys, with a third, Marvin
hlndall, were chasing "A comic paper
which they thought TO be kite. The
Rabinowitz boy, nine-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Rabinowitz
with the kindal boy crossed safely
but Christ Liebig, eleven, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Christ Liebig, broke
through and called for help, Monroe
Roblnowitz responding.
Aid was summoned By the third
boy and, after the arrival of the fire
department. volunteers with boat
and poles and a rake from the ice
house probed the river for the
bodies, a young man, Colin Monek,
having gone into the water twice
prior to the arrival of other aid in
an effort to find them.
The body of the Liebig boy was
taken out first, shortly before 4:3O,
and the other few minutes later.
Though the pulmotor was used there
was no sign of life in either boy.
Funeral services for Monroe Rabi-
nowitz will be held at Minneapolis
Friday afternoon at o'clock.
Tentative arrangements for the
burial Of Christ Liebig have been
made for Wednesday.

Measure Of Value
For Auto BUYERS

The purchaser of an automobile
looks for some measure of value for
his investment just as the gallon
measure is used for that much gaso-
llne-the yard stick for 36 inches of
cloth-the scales for a pound of cof-
Zee, or the ton for just that amount
and value Of coal, says NJ b, Gilman,
the local Dodge Brothers dealer. If
the automobile buyer could carry
some kind Of a tape line or IA scale
IN his pocket to determine just the
value he is getting, his problem
would be very simple. However, that
being impossible. he is lost in the
maze of contradictory statements.

Supreme Court Affirms Ward

court today held that Stanley Gala

has right 10 maintain $4,000
damage suit against the Great North
crn railroad.
The railroad company dcmurrcd to
the suit filed for the boy by Harry
Gallagher. his guardian, and appeal
Cd to the supreme court when the
demurrer was overruled. The suit
resulted from an accident sustained
by the boy when he was II years
old. He was crossing train at
Tagus, N. d., when movement of
the train crushed his foot. His leg
later was amputated because of an
infection and his guardian alleges
that his physical and mental injuries
and suffering are worth $4,000 in
damages.
The railroad company alleged that
the boy was guilty Of contributory
negligence in crossing the train
The supreme court held, however,
that the questions of ordinary and
contributory negligence are questions
for jury to decide and become qucs-
tIons Of law "only where the mar
terlal facts arc established by I'M
disputed evidence and the inference
from the facts is so certain that all

viewing the allegations made by the
