HARRISBURG. Pa. April 2e.-The
Musmanno industrial police bill, which
would have restricted operations of pri-

Fisher.
In long message explaining his dis

mately should extend to protection of
plants and facilities possibly outside the
strict limits of their employers prop

The essential differences between
models suitable for plain materials and
those adapted to figured materials
should be borne In mind by the woman
who makes her own clothes. II you
work from patterns, you should select
the patterns with these differences well
In mind.
Figured materials call for pattern
with as few piecings as possible. Darts,
cores, tucks, incrustations and similar
manipulations of the material usually
detract from the smart appearance OF
figured materials, especially materials
showing large figures.
On the other hand, the pattern that
lends itself we'll to figured material
usually would be lacking In character
for the plain material, which depends
to q considerable extent on tucks, cores
and applied tions for necessary elabora-
ton.
Wide pleating is seldom practical for
the figured material, unless the pattern
Is quite small. but fine pleats may often
be used to advantage.
Attractive results may often be gained
by using figured material In combina-
ton with plain material. which should,
however. be an exact match of some
color introduced in the figured mate
rial. The introduction of color tone
not included in the figured material al
most always produces an effect Of con-
fusion.

Now the Tarquinius family had for

murdered his frst wife. assassfnated
Servius Tullius. father Of his second

wife, Tullia, had been mixed up in ell
these crimes. and even had driven her
chariot over the dead body Of her own
father. But perhaps nothing would
have resulted from their sons crime
had Lucretia hid her shame. But after
bidding her husband and father to
avenge her she stabbed herself to the

they may be false to their husbands and

rapidly filling with joyous motorists
Mrs. Chevy put up lunch and poured
cooling refreshments into the vacuum
bottles. With shouts of merriment
the Chevys climbed into the car. Soft,
careSsing breeZes blew through the
open windows. Squirrels darted across
the roads in search of nuts. Some OF
them were not hanging on trees.
For an hour Mr.. Chevy guided the
shining sedan through shaded and
sunny highways. The Chevy chips
gurgled gleefully and shouted greetings
to passing passengers. Then Mr..
Chevy approached narrow bridge. A
sign near 1t said, "One Way Bridge"
Mr.. Chevy didn't understand, and con-
tinued on. Halfway across another
car approached. driven by woman.
Now, Mr.. Chevy Is a very proud man
and has distinguished himself In num-

make an engagement a long time In

Mr.. Chevy was not thinking of his
Importance in the Community at the
time. AS the approaching car drew
near and was about to pass him, the
lady driver leaned from her wheel and
exclaimed, Haven't you sense enough
to see that sign says one way ?"
Mr.. Chevy was fiabbergasted and
shouted something In return about civil
ity and courtesy, but his words failed
to reach the ears they were con-
signed to.
Mr.. Chevy choked back a couple of
wisecracks he might have used. Soon.
however. he forgot the incident and was
again enjoying the sight of pastoral
things. Contented cows browsed in lush
meadows. In q pasture on the right, a
colt followed its mother. Cottonlike
clouds studded the azure heights. 1t
was rather poetic, and-at this moment
horn was vigorously blown in the rear.
A car sought TO pass.
Mr.. Chevy always chung safely to the
right side OF the road-so closely that
he came perilously near, at times, going
into bitches. At this time his two right
wheels were skirting the. edge Of the
concrete. Nevertheless, the horn in the
rear continued to blast.
Mr.. Chevy motioned for the driver TO
come ahead. The driver did, and, rs
he passed, he discharged a barrage of
unkind cuts TO those who Rugged the
middle Of the road. Mr.. Chevy said
something like, "Sois your old man, "
but the speeding driver never heard the
sharp rebuke.

to the right and stay there. Mr.. Chevy
was perspiring. Mrs. Chevy asked him
to pull aside and stop until she could
pour glass of water for Horace. Mr.
Chevy stopped on q curve just as car
dashed around, going in the opposite
direction. This driver hurled few
words about people who have no more
brains than to stop on curves.
Once again he got under way, and
half mile up the road was stopped by
an accident. Mr.. Chevy didn't know II
was an accident, but what else could
cause q score Of cars to stand notion
less? He peered out of the window. and
rs far as his eyes could reach there
were machines. q
