z GYPSY GIRLS
HELD IN THEFT

A weird tale of cabalistic signs
and fetishes, composed Of human
hair, grass, old rags and an egg,
was told at Police Court yesterday
by James Der, a Chinese, who said
he had lost $3.50 by the old gypsy
trick of blessing money.
Der was the complaining wit
ness in the case of two young
gypsy girls, who gave the names
of Mabel Stanley and Ada Mitchell.
The Chinese who operates a res
taurant in the 100 block H st.
N. E., said that the Stanley girl
persuaded him to let her tell his
fortune. She told part Of 1t last
Tuesday, returning on Wednesday
to complete it.
Recited Incarnation.
On Thursday, Der said, the
Stanley girl returned accom-
panied by the Mitchell girl. They
asked to see his money which
the Stanley girl had rolled UP
in her handkerchief. After tell.
ing him that he was going to
have bad luck the two girls sup
posedly rolled the money back
in the handkerchief, made a few
mysterious passes and recited an
incarnation.
After telling the Chinese not
to unwrap the money until six
o'clock that night the girls left.
When Der unrolled the hand
kerchief he found a wad Of news
papers where his money had
been.
Located in Virginia.
The girls were located later
at a gypsy camp near Alexandra
and were identified by Der.
At the request. Of Assistant
Corporation Counsel Micheal F.
Keogh, the Chinese again identi-
fled the girls In court and Judge
Isaac r. Hit held them in bond
of $1,000 for action of the
Grand Jury.
The girls are also to face a
charge of taking $3S from the
home Of Mary. Curtin, 1900 block

After spreading the fetishes on
the table and saying a number
of incantations. according to Der.
the Stanley girl wrapped his $3.50

IN a handkerchief which she
told him not to open until further
instructions.

Lack Of rain has cost Virginia
farmers anywhere from $75,000,-
900 to 500, 900, 900, according to
estimates made at Blacksburg
based upon information prepared
by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.
Since January /. only 9.3S
inches Of rain has fallen at
Blacksburg, Prof. II. L. Price,
dean Of the agricultural college
at Virginia Polytechnic Institute,
reported, which is about rs inches
below normal. Since March only
sos inches Of rain has fallen.
It has been estimated that an
inch of rain is worth about
IS. 900, 900 to Virginia farmers.
The IS inches of rain Virginia
farmers have missed so far this
year multiplied by $4,000, 900,
gives $125, 100000. But all of a

The fire was discovered about
midnight but was burning so Wig
orously that it was impossible to
check it with the inadequate IA
cilities at hand. Members of
the Fredericksburg Fire Depart
nlent went to the scene with
chemical engines and tanks but
did not take the pumping engine,
no water supply for its use being
available.
Exactly one week before this
fire Powell's residence, a colonial
brick house, and adjoining law
offices at Spotsylvania had been
destroyed. The first fire, which
was discovered just about the
same hour o. the fire last night,
lSo destroyed the Perry and
Sons store and the law office of

Powell, Republican, has been
q storm center in Spotsylvania
county politics for 20 years. Run
ming as an independent against
what he termed the county
ring, 20 years ago, he defeated
a prominent Democrat for the
State legislature. At the conclu-
sion of his term he ran for
commemorative attorney, de
feating a Democrat then and at
every election since.
The fire which destroyed the
Powell hon1 was at first attri.
buted to accidental causes. Cir.

many to believe that both were

ARE LAID
FOR FLIES

Many are the occasions when
a motion picture will move a
susceptible audience to laughter
as the COW in her stall slashes
her mixer across the face as he
attempts to fill his pail. But the,
reason for this movement Of the
COW has nothing Of the comic,
declares r. p. Hotis, of the
Bureau of Dairy Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The story behind this irate move
ment of the COW Is the pestiferous
fly, and this nuisance is a rem
ediable one, continues the report.
For years the only method of
Kidding the COW of the fly has
been a crude spray to keep the
flies off the animals, with only
a possible chance to kill few
of them. Few farmers, says Hotis,
spray the hen roosts to keep
miltS and lice away, nor do they
spray potatoes to keep the potato
beetle away. Their object is to
destroy or suppress these as COM
pletely as possible.
The same thing should hold
true in controlling flies. Two
methods, for doing this are by
trapping and using q killing
spray, it has been found.
Traps for the capture Of the
unsuspecting fly should be placed
where flies gather, the floor being
the best place. Inasmuch as flies
are as fond Of molasses and
crushed fruit as is the public
who is so annoyed by the pest,
such edibles are used in the
traps.
The other method for the eradi-
cation of the fly is by use of
the killing spray which is sprayed
upon the ceiling, walls and win
dows of the dairy building.
