IHE amateur magician can give his audience some eight" enteR-
- talnment with the following very simple cork trick:
The material required is a small pasteboard box with q lid that
can be detached. Neatly glue two corks inside the lid.
The trick is to place the lid downward so that ne one can see the
corks and hold out the empty box to the audience.
Il am going to put four corks in this empty box" the coniurer
announces. Then shall put on the lid and when Immediately
open the box there will be six corks instead of only four"
The magician then places the box on the table, puts in the four
corks, picks up the lid carefully with the inside towards him SO that
the glued corks remain invisible to the audience. Next he shakes
the box, opens it. and the audience sees six corks.

REGRET PROPOSAL
TO CLOSE MARKET
RandIe Highlands Citizens
Ask Government to Re-
consider Decision.

A resolution deploring the proposed
abandonment of Center Market was
passed at meeting of the Randle High
lands Citizens Association, held last
night at the Orr School, TWenty-Second
and Prout streets southeast.
The resolution, which was introduced
by c. A. Barker, secretary of the asso-
citation, and met with unanimous favor.
reads as follows:
Whereas the Center Market, estab-
liShed in 1850 by private interests, but
now owned and operated by the United
States Government on fair return
rental basis, is d utility of greatest
service to the residents of the District
of Columbia and adjacent territory, and
they view with many misgivings and
regrets its proposed discontinuance;
now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the proper authori-
ties be requested to reopen the consid-
Grafton Of the proposed market aban
donment and that the suggestion be
made that the architectural plans of
the new development include the pres
ent market plant in a she'll which
would be designed SO as to be in keep
ing with the rest of the development,
and that the secretary of this associa-
ton be instructed to submit this matter
to the proper authorities"
Says Capper Is Interested.
The association was given to under
stand by one of its members that Sena-
tor Arthur Capper, chairman of the
Senate District committee, was inter-
eSting himself in the market situation.
Present plans call for the destruction
Of Center Market to make way for the
new Department of Justice Building as
a part Of the Pennsylvania avenue-Mau
triangle development sponsored by the
Federal Government.
Data Distributed.
Several matters brought up at the
meeting were held over until the
next meeting Of the association, owing
to the small attendance last night
Among these was the question Of repre-
sentation in Congress for the District
OF Columbia. The association distrib-
uted among its members data received
from the Citizens Joint Committee on
District Of Columbia National Repre-
eentation.
A motion to indorse the Capper-
zihlman bill for free text books in
Junior high and high schools, as well
as for elementary schools of the Dis
trict, was also held over to the next
meeting
The association voted to call its next
meeting for December ID, due to the
fact that the last Wednesday Of De-
cember IS Christmas day.

TERM FOR ROBBERY \
WITH GUN Is RAISED
Illinois Board of Pardons and Pa
roles Announces
Ruling.
~ the Associated PCS.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 2s.-By a ruling
Of the board of pardons and paroles
just announced, Illinois prison inmates
convicted of robbery with gun must
serve a minimum Of years before
they are eligible to parole.
W. G. Jones, chairman of the pardon
board, in explaining the ruling, said it
was the decision of the members to
make the punishment twice as severe as
the average in other States. A survey
Of 100 penal institutions, he said
showed an average of a trife more than
years, less time of for good behavior
With this In mind, the pardon board
fixed the time to be served in Illinois
at s TO Is years. With the allowances
for good behavior, the resultant terms
for armed robbery convicts is a min
imum Of 4 years to years and 8
months.
One effect seen by the board of this
more rigorous code is the immediate
need Of additional prison capacity. Fol-
lowing the board meeting, Rodney
Brandon, director of public welfare
announced the State would rush COM
pletion Of the s1,3oo,000 expenditure
for additional cells.
