persons never before associated with
the Julian scandal, Fits declared.
"The jury probably will meet to-
night, again tomorrow and maybe
even tomorrow night" Fits said.
His statement was made after he
conferred with F. I. Morris, fore
man of the jury. Morris previously
had indicated that the jury would
adjourn this afternoon until Mon
day morning.
Berman still was testifying when
the jury recessed for lunch and it
appeared likely that he would be
unable to conclude today.
"Berman 8 testimony Is most
Important Foreman Morris said.
"It doesn t look as if he would be
able. to finish before we take out
weekend adjournment. I think he
will have to recall him Monday.
While Berman was before the
jury, District Attorney Buron Fits
was engaged in questioning Esther
Wann, former employe Of the A. G,
Wagy Brokerage company.
The Wagy company dealt heavily
in Julian stock and the company
failed several days after the Julian
stock was suspended from trading.
1t was rumored that Fits waa

YOU CAN LOSE TWO-THIRDS

against histamine, the protein
said to be responsible for auto
intoXication and some cases of
surgical shock was reported by
DR.. G. H. Best of Toronto, CO.
discoverer of the insulin cure
for diabetes.
An experiment that would
seem to show that death from
heart failure in an indivi-
dual with a normal heart is i'm
possible unless an injury actu-
ally destroys the organ, was
explained by Robert w. Siddle
of the University of Missouri.
DR.. Dandy's revolutionary
experiment, in which he cut
away large portions of brain in
operating for removal Of tu-
mors, contradicted the popular
theory that a big brain means

night In June. The children sat at the

turning more sultry with dusk, was

than had become his wont, \ think
perhaps It'll be a good thing for all OF
Us. 1t will give me a chance to work
out some ideas here In the house alone,

He Almost Fell Over the lifeiess
Form OF John Poole.

30 that he could scarcely open 1t, and.
on entering, he almost fell over the
lifeless form of John Poole.
He had come back TO the office after
his birthday party, and had been at
work. The light still shone over his
drawing board. He had died here,
alone, and VIII, even In that nrst
shock, was full OF the knowledge that
his death had come, not alone In the
night but with the loss OF his gift.
Yet on the drawing board was pic
ture--his last. 1t was different from
his other work. 1t was bend In the
stream with great tree overhanging
the water and the meadow beyond
and the figures OF half dozen small
boys naked and white In the sunshine,
playing about the tree and on spring
board caught beneath great root.
There was In 1t no mockery, no satire,
no Glowing. 1t was simple, kind.
Staring at 1t, before he went to give
the alarm, Will felt sure that this
work OF the skilled pencil was the ex-
FORMULATION after half century OF
some remembered scene OF his boy
hood.
Will grieved honestly for John Poole
and thought often and mysteriously
about that last picture. II John Poole
could draw like that, why had he
never done SO? The answer to this
was disturbing.
Will established his rights to Poole's
cartoon ideas only to find them worth
less. Contracts ran out, strips piled
no unused, and he found himself work
Ing against q vast indifference, more
crushing, more impenetrable than that
which he had fought for a place for
Poole's strip. But his new inner
activity carried with it such personal
10y that he could not be sufficiently
chagrined by the collapse OF his bust
ness enterprise and the danger to his
income.

Liquor Gro1us Weaker as
Bottles Get Smaller

trict are made by a number of
bootleg bottle companies.
The fancier bottles and labels
for vermouth, Scotch, rye,
champagne, cognac, etc-are al
most all manufactured by a
YonkerS IN. " company which
deals exclusively in such products
and reports a quarter Of a mil
lion dollar profit yearly.
Hardly Like Christmas
The Government exercises no
regulation over the bottles made
for this purpose, as the business
is carried on secretly, just as is
bootlegging.
In ordinary business, if a dealer
sells a pint" Of fluid which
actually is less, the Government
exacts heavy fine for using a
"gyp" bottle.
However, there has never been
charge of short measure made
against bootlegger, although the
Government loses heavily in taxes
which would be collected from the
lawful manufacture of hooch con-
tainers.
Oh, it hardly seems like Christ
mas, with the bottle growing
smaller and the spirit getting
weaker.
