she let's him do NOTHING he

of the same club for number Of
years.
3. Would it be all right for the
hostess to participate in the pro-
. gram? There will be music and
reading.
4. How should professional
woman be addressed in privacy?
For instance, how should a pupil
address his or her teacher?

2. AS the guest Of honor, she
should sit on your right. As you
assign her place, | suggest that
you make this assignment even
more charming by saying, Mrs.
Hall, will you please take the
place at my right?" This will
indicate to her very definitely
that she is the guest of honor.
3. Yes-a moderate amount.

one day late. My aunt also forgot
to mail a letter to him the same

VA. MAYOR GETS.
THREAT

RICHMOND. Va, April 26.--In a
mornings mail that included four
anonymous communications, Mayor
John Fulmer Bright, of Richmond,
received a communication from
1.-THE Chief of the Black Riders, F"
threatening to get the mayor IL he
continues his efforts to enforce the
prohibition laws.
The letter was written on plain
paper, sealed IN a plain envelope,
and marked personal. 1t was
mailed in Richmond and is as fol-
lows:
"Old boy, you are talking of en-.
forcing the prohibition law. Well,
you better watch out. We will get
you. (SigneO Chief. The Black
Riders"
There were two little smears Of
what might have been blood across
the page, and at the bottom was a
crude sketch of a dagger with an
unusually jagged edge.
Mayor Bright said that ''profes-
Eional courtesy" demanded that the
communication of the Chief of the
Black Riders be turned over to the
chief Of police, which was done.
He expressed the opinion that the
activities of the cleanup squad had
possibly interfered with the Chief
of the Black Riders weekend sup
ply of contraband and that the let
ter was written in a moment of ex-
asperation.

DETROIT, April 26 G.N,sl-Five
underground blasts hurled manhole
covers into the air and spurted
flames like miniature volcanoes IN
East Side Detroit today, breaking
windows and endangering hundreds
of homes.
1t was believed the blasts were
caused from an underground short
circuit.
Volumes of smoke which fol
lowed the explosions poured gas and
tar fumes over the area.
Although the blasts sent hundreds
of families streaming from their
homes to learn the cause of the
explosions, no one was reported

Police and fire department squads
were rushed to the scene. 1t was

CLARENDON IN
FIRE STEW

CLARENDON, Va, April 26.-The
refusal of the board of supervisors to
aid in providing quarters for the
Clarendon fire department, leaves it
nearly homeless as the building now
occupied has been sold by the Claren-
den Citizens Association to Frank L.
Ball and Lawrence Douglas. Douglas
said today that he and Ball are ready
TO take possession.
There will be meeting tonight at
which the question will be discussed.
\. c. Putnam. president OF the fire
department, stated that il necessary
lie would move the equipment in the
street.
The supervisors say Cherrydale,
Ballston. Jefferson district and Poto-
mac departments have provided their
"wn buildings that it would not be
fair for the counag to take funds
from the special fire protection levy
for Clarendon.
