wedding of his daughter, Miss Anne. to
Col. Charles A Lindbergh. The date is

When the Ambassador arrived home

Meeting at Newark.
Mrs. Morrow and their youngest
daughter Constance, met Mr.. Morrow
at Newark at the train yesterday. He
posed for photographs and then
motored home. Shortly after their ar
rival a string of limousines passed
through the wall of mystery maintained
about the Morrow estate by the Engle-
wood police. Presently Col Lindbergh
and his mother, Mrs. Evangeline Lind
bergh, drove up in the colonel's car, and
soon afterward came an unidentified
clergyman and four other men.
Col. Lindbergh and his mother left
two hours later.
The train on which the Ambassador
reached Newark was the Spirit of st.

Wedding gifts and letters pour in
daily. One admirer sent a silver we'd

Iatory, some offer advice, and a few
warn that there still is time to cancel
the wedding and SO avert the disad-
vantageS of wedlock.

yASHoN BOY SCOUTS BEAN
DINNER WELL ATTENDED

On Monday evening the Vashon Boy
Scouts staged a most successful bean
dinner the proceeds from which went
to further reduce the small debt still
owing on their cabin.
After the dinner short program OF
talks was given. Scoutmaster Ira o.
Thompson gave an interesting ac-
count of some of the things these boys
have accomplished. DR.. McMurray,
in behalf OF the Vashon Business
Mems Club, presented the boys with a
check for twenty-five dollnrc as an ex-
preston of the Clubs appreciation
for the service the boys have render
ed on the occasions Of the two
carnivals, This money will be spent
on archery equipment
John Ober, Assistant Scoutmaster,
expressed deep interest in the work.
and commended the troop for the
progress they had made during the
past year.
It was fortunate that T. S. Myers,
who has been active in Scout work
for many years should have very ac-
cidentally heard of the dinner, and
was on hand TO tell the older people
present how much this work means
He expressed himself as much sur
prised by the interest evidenced by the
parents and friends and said ne had
never attended Scout meeting in
Seattle where there were so many
parents present
A late arrival, Ronald Ruddiman, OF
Seattle, one OF the state workers gave
still deeper insight into the possibilities
Of this work He too was surprised at
the number present, and voiced the
opinion that there was not another
troop in this area with as complete q
meeting place, or with better material
for one of the finest troops in the
state.
It is hoped that during the winter
the boys will be able to stage another.
or possibly a series of these dinners.
Like many other things our public
seems to take the work these boys Of
ours are irving to do too much for
granted These get-togethers, when
the public can see the boys at work.
will tend to awaken all to the fact that
this troop, and the men who are work.
ing with them, as well as the other
troops on the Island. are building
soundly for the future, and greater
interest will be shown.

REMOVE TEMPTATION BY
LOCKING ALL VEHICLES

The promiscuous manner In which
cars are left unlocked on the streets
and highways of this state, is con-
tributing to juvenile delinquency, is
causing an upward trend in crime
and is responsible for many heart
aches and heavy property losses, ac-
cording to D. A. Shelor, general
manager of the Automobile Club of
Washington who makes a special
appeal to parents to lock their
vehicles SO that children may be kept
out of temptation.
This is in accord with the ock-your
car-month program inaugurated dur
inging September in an effort TO get
adults into the habit of protecting
their property by the proper use OF
locking devices.
Police records show that on the
West coast the professional car theft's
operations are negligible, with more
than ninety percent of the stolen
vehicles being taken by profession
ais, who use the cars for immediate
purposes and then abandon them,
Mr.. Shelor says. These purposes
range from pure joy riding to major
crimes.
The youngster who is able to steal a
car at will. use it as he wishes and
then abandon it. without penalty OF
law. has passed the first step in the
field of crime and is well on his way
toward career which will end be-
hind prison bars
Seldom does the young car thiei
tamper with locked vehicle because
probably will be unlocked and there
fore can be driven off with ease.
The one remedy for this serious
condition is public cooperation. Par
ents, above all others, should realize
the Importance of keeping shildren
cut Of temptation by carefully locking
their cars at all times" Mr.. Shelor
concluded.
