That was his beginning as a
movie actor.
On his trips to New York, which
averaged about once a year, the
star spent most of his time on the
East Side and in Bowery resorts,
searching for types. He prowled
around alone-and unknown.
Night police courts, with their
backWash of human wreckage, were
his favorites. He became par
ticularly friendly with Magistrate
Brodsky, who invited him to share
the bench as a guest of honor"
but CLANCY declined. He preferred
to sit, Nnnoticed, in the crowd.
His New York friends lever knew
just where they could find him.
Once, when his office wanted him in
a hurry, the town was combed and
all his hangouts visited.
Later it was learned that he had
been at Mr.. Zero's Tub" studying
the various types Of buns that
wandered into this unique emporium
of charity TO beg a bowl of soup
and a slice CT Cry bread.
TINE last time he was in New
4 York he visited Mayor Walker.
The latter was posing for a sculp-
tor and the clay model was III a
crude state.
MY God, it looks like one of my
characters" exclaimed CLANCY, TAX
ing up the clay and modelling the
mayor himself. Walker still has the
work. 1t is quite a creditable job,
too.
Visiting his Offices he invariably
arrived with a pocketful OF necktleS
for members of the staff who had
done him a good turn.
He always left at least one tie
with each publicity writer. He had
many pet charities, mostly among
stage hands and the unsuccessful
screen players, but he never would
talk about these gifts.

~HANEY always summed the
u crowd. Except on very rare oc-
casions he never permitted a pic
ture showing him as he really was
without his makeup to be taken.
81 think that as long as the pub
lie doesn't know what 1 actually
look like in everyday garb it's good
showmanship because it keeps 'em
curious" he once explained.
Shrewdly said, perhaps, but the
real reason-and the honest one
dobutless lay deeper.
CLANCY wanted to be able to walk
down the street without being
stared at; to go where he pleased
without being pointed out by
curious people and beset by hero
worshipers.

CANNON ID DEFEND
 HIMSELF, HE SAYS
Methodist Bishop Refrains From Making Public Reiutation

Washington, Oct. 10 R-Bishop James Cannon, Jr, of the Metho- dist Episcopal church, south, has decided to make his defense against accusations brought by four minis ters, before an Investigating com- mittee of his church.
 The bishop announced in state ment last night that, although now acquainted with the nature of the charges, he would restrain from making a public refutation. He asked public suspension of judgment until the case is settled.
 "The inclination is strong" he said, ito make now clear full sweeping statement in denial of these complaints. This, however, is not case to be tried in the news papers but must be tried by the reg ular procedure prescribed by the law of the church.
 Will Make Statement
 "Whenever a church committee of investigation shall meet I will then make my statement of denial and refutation of the complaints and un- til then l do not expect to make a further statement to the press"
 The charges were filed with Bishop w. N. Ainsw orth of Birming- ham, while Cannon was in Brazil. He protested they were brought ir- regularly and that he should have becn given an opportunity to con- fer with his accusers before the complaint was presented. The accu- sations have not been made public but 1t has been indicated they cov- cred more than the stock market and political activities of the bishop.
 Bishop Ainsworth is expected to appoint a committee of 12 ministers 10 investigate and determine wheth- CT church trial should be held.

TREASURY ID SPEND
 HUNDRED MILLION
Public Building Program Calcu- lated to Aid Unemployment

Washington, Oct. 10 (UP)-More than s100,O0O,O0O in new public building contracts will be let by the treasury in 1880 in carrying out an expanded building program which the administration planned as an aid to business recovery.
 Answering a republican congress sional critic who wrote President Hoover recently complaining that the treasury was not expediting the enlarged building program as rapid ly as possible, Assistant Treasury Secretary Ferry K. Heath yesterday made public figures showing greater public building activity than ever before.
 In the present calendar year, the treasury has awarded 66 contracts for buildings to cost s43, O0o,0o and has plans to let 49 additional con- tracts aggregating s30,O00,0O0 in the remaining three months of 1880. To this s73,000,000 must be added the cost of land which will bring the total above s100,000,000 this year.
 Treasury officials estimate that S40,000,000 of this amount will be paid to labor for the work of fabri- eating materials and erecting the buildings included in the program. Building contracts are now being let at the rate of one every two and half days.
 The treasury is now working un- der an aggregate program calling for expenditure of S,000,000 over a 10 year period which began in 1928. The annual limit was in- creased by congress last session from $35,000,0O0 to s5O,0O0,O00.

white and green are the colors used to
develop .he pattern Alternate squares
are red and white, with the reverse
color for the central floral motif and
green each time for corner motif. If
quilt is made for a particular room,
the colors should conform to the
scheme
A totally different effect is produced
by cutting the entire design from one
color without picking it out in flower
and leaf. 1t now becomes a purely geo.
metric design, which is brought into
striking relief against the contrasting
background.
To make the pattern trace off the
outlined section from the illustration,
being sure to put in the dotted lines
along the edges. Lay the tracing on an
! 8-inch square of cloth. folded twice
with absolute accuracy. The dotted line
will come on folds of the goods Pin
the pattern in position and cut around
all edges except those having dotted
lines Unfold the goods and the geo.
metric pattern will result. II the flower
and leaves are wanted, cut the patte-a
in two parts, separating it where the
stem joins the curve of the flower. Cut
four-leaf portions and join them when
positioning the design on the back
ground, Allow an eighth. of an inch
for turning in, except on dotted lines
which must be on folds of the goods.
To insure accuracy it is well to crease
the goods in folds or to press or haste
them down before cutting the pattern.

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

July rs, ISI4-Again the local
militia that has been marching and
countermarching in the vicinity of
Washington, in the hope of being able
to defend the city from the British
regular troops now on transports not
far away in Chesapeake Bay or the
Patuxent River, has returned to the
city, and news is published that they
have been discharged and returned to
their homes after nine days service.
1t was near the middle of last month
that news was received here that the
enemy ships were in the Patuxent
River again, having come up as far
as Benedict. -Four days later word
came that the British had appeared at
Nottingham on the Patuxent, which is
on line approximately parallel with
Fort Washington on the Potomac River
side of the Southern Maryland
peninsula. This meant that the enemy
was only about % miles distant from
Washington City.
A force of $50 men, under the COM
mand of Maj. Peter, then marched to
the front and reached Benedict But
they found that the British had disap-
peared These troops were ordered
home, and after ten days service were
mustered out.
There was great apprehension in the
public mind. meeting OF the clergy
of the city was called to consider the
propriety of setting apart day for
fasting and prayer, "the reasons for
which are obvious" according to the
! announcement,
1t was scarcely two weeks later that
the enemy was again reported in the
PaJuxent Three companies of militia,
under command of Capt Davidson,
were called out. This force marched
as far as woodward. a short distance
east OF Upper Marlboro and II miles
from Washington. It only returned
when reports were received that the
enemy had retired back down the river.
1t was this force which, according TO
today's announcement, has been dis
charged.
The citizens continue to be dissatis-
fed with the way the Federal Govern
ment is planning to protect the city in
case of a British invasion in this
direction. They are continually urging
the mayor Of Washington to ask the
President to take more definite steps To
defend the city. and not leave the
burden upon the untried local militia.

Applique patchwork is one Of the
earliest forms of decorative needlework
r was used by the early American set
tiers in their quilt making, when artis-
try could be stressed as well as thrift
1t was not first employed in this coun-
try, but piecework was; for the reason
that applique takes more material than
does piece patchwork The former re-
quires a foundation underneath the 81
nament, while piece patchwork forms
the background and the pattern in
itself.
Applique dates back to the dim ages
Piecework is of such comparatively mod
ern ancestry that it has been termed
American or Canadian patchwork, al
though this does not signify it orig
mated in either the United States or
Canada. The prevalence of its use
earned it these names.
The design shown today is for APP
plique patchwork, although it can be
employed for piecework or regulation
patchwork if the worker prefers. The
fact that there are so many curves
Immediately proclaims it for applique,
since curves are difficult to manage in
piecework.
The effect of the pattern is charm
ing in its early American flavor. Each
section is an 8-inch square, on which
the conventional units are arranged in
colors, reversed with the background
and having green leaves extending in
each square from the center portion of
the corners. In eve0y square these
leaves and the wee stems are green.
The old-time effect is stressed If red,

What Happened to Wash
When all is said and all is done,
Mother Brown.

1t was Monday morning. Monday
morning, in the country at least, is
washday. 1t was Mother Browns wash
day. Farmer Brown and Farmer Browns
Boy were at work down in the cornfield
while Mother Brown was doing the
washing Jim Grow, the young Grow
that Farmer Browns Boy had made a
pet of, had gone down to the cornfleld
riding on his masters shoulder. That
was his favorite perch.
BY and by the washing was finished
and hung cut to dry. 1t was beautl-
full morning and Mother Brown rejoiced
as she hung out the wash, for she knew
that it would dry quickly. Il shall be
able to get large part of my ironing
done before dinner" said Mother
Brown, land that will be a big help. 1t
is certainly lucky that the sun is out
today, for I have a lot of cleaning to
do and 1 want to get the wash out OF
the way"
Mother Brown went back into the
house and she went about her work
singing. She didn't once look out, as
there was nothing in particular to look
out for Had she looked out, this story
might never have been. Jim Crow had
remained down in the cornf1eld only a
little while. Some imp of mischief
prompted him to fly back home. Ordi-
narily, he would have remained down
there in the cornfield. Perhaps 1t was
the fact that Just as he left the farm
yard on Farmer Browns Boys shoulder,
he had seen Mother Brown come out OF
the house with a basket of snowy-white
clothes and it had stirred his curiosity.
Anyway, he few back and perched first
on the roof of the barn.
From this point Jim Crow could view
the whole OF the farmyard. He saw -
once the clotheslines with their snowy
white burden. He cooked his head on
one side and studied the wash He
cooked his head on the other side and
again studied that wash. His eyes twin
killed.. It was twinkle of mischief. You
see. Jim Grow had discovered those
clothespins that held the wash on the
lines. He looked over toward the back
door. He looked to the kitchen door.
He saw nothing of Mother Brown. Then
he flew down to one end of one Of the
lines. He reached out and took hold of
the nearest clothespin. 1t movedl Jim
Crow gave sharp tug. The clothespin
came free.
Jim Grow chuckled. He few away
with that clothespin. In few minutes
he was back and pulled the next
clothespin A towel dropped on the
ground Away went Jim Grow with that
clothespin. He wasn't gone long. He
pulled another clothespin. Another

Right and Wrong.

The ability to tell the difference be-
tween right and wrong is commonly
known as common sense. And common
sense is supposed to be the one human
ability that all normal human beings
possess. That much is usually taken
for granted, AS to the other abilities
you may possess, society is willing to
your school, your own industry or even
to luck.
Look about you Common sense is
really rare ability. The reason is
this: Being individuals, We all have
our private notions about our expert
ences. We are always inclined to think
tnat that which squares with our IN
div1dual experience is right; anything
else Is wrong. Now common sense is
a hypothetical social standard, which
has grown up out of common expert
ence. 1t is the pooled intelligence OF
the social group"
/ Those who are always looking out
only for their own interests come l.
have distorted sense of values; they
don't use common sense. They can't
tell the difference between right and
wrong, because they want each new
experience to conform to their private
selfish wishes.
In complicated social situations one
should never look for absolute justice.
You probably wouldn't be satisfied. even
If you got it. For justice is or ought to
be common sense.
The sense of right and wrong is so
highly relative and accidental that 1t
really doesn't mean much IN everyday
life.

My Neighbor Says:

A small pinch of soda added to
a glass of lime water will produce
a most agreeable effervescent
drink.
Drain all boiled vegetables as
soon as they are tender. They
become soggy if they are allowed
to stand undrained after cooking.
The water drained off may be
saved for soup stock. Most vege-
tables should be cooked in a
small amount of water because
part of the mineral salts dissolves
in the water and is lost if the
water is thrown away. Cook
vegetables whole when possible.
If the inside of the wash boiler
is rubbed with soap while it Is
still warm 1t will not rust. The
soap will help to make suds when
the boiler is again filled with
water.
Waxing linoleum has been
found very satisfactory. First
wash a small area of the linoleum
with steaming hot water. Dry
while still warm, add wax and
rub well.
