scorn. No one noticed just then though,

, Reuter- A package from the private
Office itself, with note attached which
annoyed the manager.
Here, boy, this goes to the ware
house department. They have a repair
section there, though I'm sure they can
do nothing with this. Wonderful piece
of work, but made abroad, this mosaic
inlay.
cant you read boy? This note is
to Rempell. in the Thirty third street

DeMurie. you haven't started your ma

Miss DeMurie was not only willing to
wrap the little box-a lovely piece of
inlaid workout she passed 1t around
to the girls nea: her to inspect, while
Mr.. Reuter- answered an imperative
ringing of the telephone. 1t had not
reached Iouisette, who had left her
desk to get q letter from the filing
cabinet, when the door suddenly opened
and the chief himself, James Golden,
entered. Discipline was the one thing
James Golden insisted upon. Old-fash-
ioned discipline, too. Miss DeMurie
snatched the box from Lily Camp, and
made a hasty retreat toward her own
desk as dignity would permit. Louisette
stood her ground at the filing cabinet.
She saw nothing to scurry around
about. She looked at her desk, next to
Miss DeMurie'S. Tt was in perfect
order, as always This stern gray man
they all shivered before had, as the
American girls said. Nothing on her"
1t seemed, though, that something
was on her after all. AS it is so often.
"All right Miss DeMurie. You have
the box wrapped? Here is Mr.. Golden,
who will take care of it himself"
No, Miss DeMurie hadn't the box.
She had been letting one Of the girls
letting Miss Bonheur - examine 1t.
Sorry, but Miss Bonheur took it out OF
her hand. Lily Camp flushed and
opened her mouth to say she had had
it last when, like little tornado,
Louisette crossed the room to her desk,
flung down the letters she had taken
from the file, banged open the drawer

girl was. Deny the accusation? But
,, She would not speak to the pig! And
| then the poor child's hand was stayed.
There on top of her purse, lay the
mosaic box! It glittered maternity

Reuter-, walking slowly down the room,

could not touch that box, that terrible
thing that lay there screaming thief

So she flung shut the drawer, pushed
past the staring girls, rushed from the
room.
After she had gone no one spoke for
minute. And then the brisk, curt
tones of James Golden made them all
come to life.
Go after her, Reuter- She's not the
thief. That girl there, at the next desk.
| Yes I remember the name now, De
Murie. She slipped the box in the
child's desk, when you all were gaping
at me. OF course, Miss De Murie will
not expect to stay on. Same girl was in
some trouble upstairs last year.

CHICAGO, January 4-Approval of
the provision of the Michigan habitual

Mae Miller, mother of 10 children, was
sentenced to life imprisonment for SELL
ng iquor, was voiced by DR..
Clarence True Wilson, executive secre-.
tary of the Methodist Board of Tenn
perarce, Prohibition and Public Morals
Speaking before the Church's World
Service Conference at Evanston, Dr.
Wilson said: Our only regret is that
the woman was not sentenced to life
Imprisonment before her 10 children
we're born. When one has violated the
Constitution four times, he or she is
proved to be an habitual criminal and
should be segregated from society to
prevent the production Of subnormal
offsprings."
DR.. Wilson declared the church had
only exercised it's constitutional right

HAUGEN OUTLINES
 FARM RELIEF PLAN
Hearings Start Three Weeks Be
 fore Special April Session

Washington, Feb. 26 R-Farm
 relief hearings before the house
 agriculture committee will be be- gun about three weeks before the
 converting of the special .ession of
 congress in April under plans made public today by Chairman Haugen
 of the committee.
 The committee is co meet Friday to determine finally on the course Of procedure. Chairman Haugen said while all phases of the farmers problems would be heard it was the
 desire of the committee to have q few witnesses to represent each group.
 Hearings probably would consume
 two weeks and the third week. he said, would be devoted to drafting the proposed farm relief legislation. ! Mir. Haugen indicated that he ex- pected the measure would extend
 relief generally to all agriculturists,
 with liberal provisions for the de- velopment of foreign markets for surplus production.
 Tn view of the extensive hear ings already held on farm relief" he said. Tit appears to me that two
 weeks should be sufficient time in which to deal with the problem. We
 have planned to request the various farm groups to limit their witnesses to the minimum. One man can tell
 us the problems of a whole group as well as a dozen men.

WILL HOOVER VARY
 PRESIDENTS FLAG
Wilson Made Eagle Virike by
 Turning Its Held

Philadelphia. Feb. ss UGseam' stresses at the United States quar- termaster's depot hero have raised a question about President Elect Hooyer's intentions regarding the future of the presidents flag
 Will he change the design: they ask, or will he stick to the present emblem, which was made in accord ance with the order of President Wilson.
 All the flags for the president and his official family and the army are manufactured at the quarter masters depot and it is the presi- dents prerogative to select or pre- pare . design for his own nag.
 The modern Betsy Roses are in' tcrested. also, in what MT. Hoover may do for two other reasons. One 1, that Woodrow Wilson was the last president to order . new design Both President Roosevelt and Presi- dent Taft had distinctive flags, but the war presidents successors. Hara- ing and Coolidge. have used the same design.
 Another reason for their interest |. that on the Wilson nag the eagle of the United States coat-of-arms had it's head turned toward tho claw hoAding . number of arrows. sym bolic of war and away from the claw holding an olive branch. sym bol of peace.
 At the time the Wilson nag was designed, the direction of tho eagle head toward the arrows caused some comment and later was look ed upon by some as prophetic President Harding and President Coolidge retained the war pres'. dents standard unchanged but whether MT. Hoover may desire . change in view of tho symbolism remains to be seen.
 All the flags for the president are made by hand. expert scamstrcsscs embroidering the coat-of-armS. Iheir task, they say. is not without thrills Miss Jean Erskine claims the honor of having worked on tho flags of three presidents-Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson.
 President Wilson's nag which hai done service for three administra' tions, has a blue field with the coat of-arms in the center. and four white stars at right angles well within the field. Feathers of the eagle are white shaded with black another point in which the Wilson nag differed from those of the predecessors.
 President Taft's flag was sub st: ntially the same. with the major difference that the eagles head faced the olive branch. President Roosevelt's flag stood out in sharp contrast. having . red Held instead of blue. The paleways of perpen- dicular stripes in the shield on the breast of tho eaglo were blue, whereas in the Taft and Wilson nags they were red.

It makes my hair easy to dress and holds jt in place wonderfully. It has gotten rid of my dandruff. It keeps my hair and scalp so comfortable, that don't shampoo half as often az ] did before. And best of all. 1t gives my hair a softer, more silky and lustrous appearance than anything I've ever found"

Dr. Kupelian, Who Fled Turks After They Wiped Out Family, Active in Americanizati0n Work.

pr. Moses Kupelian this month completes 10 years of residence in the United States. which began in 1919 after he had found on the friendly shores Of America relief from 14-year reign of terror, dur. ing which his father. mother, two brothers and sister had been slaughtered by the Turks, and he had been successful in a thrice at tempted escape from the Turkish army and had eluded pursuers in a mad dash across Asia Minor.

 Several months ago. the board of police commissioners appointed Dr.. kupelian police surgeon, a position which he now fills. Last year he gained distinction in the world of surgery when he grafted a portion of the membrane from woman's lip to form a new eyelid as a result of which she was cured from a painful eye malady.
 Dr. kupelian was born in Aintab, Armenia. He matricuiated at the American college in his native city. where he received his B. A. degree, after which he enrolled in the American University at Beirut, on the shores of the Mediterranean sea. The province of Beirut was under Turkish control but protectorate extended over the college. It was this fact that saved the life of the young medical student when his en- tire family was slaughtered in the home at Aintab.

He was seized by the Turks and forced into service in the army. being dis patched to Damascus. the base hospital of the sultan's armed forces.
