Half an hour after the out
break the uprising was under
control; ct least temporarily.
Ohio National Guardsmen
for the first time generally
occupied the prison yards.
Machine guns were set up and
their muzzles trained from all
angles on white City"-the sec
ton occupied by the hard
boiled" element Of the $500
prisoners in the antiquated and
overcrowded prison.
Under the muzzleS of the guns,
Col. Robert Haubrich, veteran
of many battles in France, bearer
Of the Distinguished Service
Cross, walked into the tumultuous
cell block and addressed the
prisoners.
viii Run Prison Now
When he emerged the hard
bitten colonel Of infantry made
this statement:
1--WE are going to run this
prison from now ON. We are
going to take these babies to
the mess hall to eat and then
bring them back and put them
In cells"
They haven't been in cells be-
cause they had broken the locks
following the fire Of the night
of April 81. when $40 lives We're
lost. They had been roaming all
over the place, defying the
warden. Refusal to eat was part
of their passive resistance"
campaign.
Colonel Haubrich'S word proved
prophetic. Shortly before noon
the prisoners, Sullen and beaten,
were marched to the mess hall to
eat. They had been demanding
that food be brought to them.
Hinged by BayOnets
There was no defiance left in
the convicts. They walked be-

INDIAN TROOPS
IN MUTNY

LONDON, April 20 GNSJ.-
The extent of mutinous activi-
ties among Britain's Indian
native soldiers occupied the center
of interest here today with the
revelation that several native
soldiers had been removed from
Peshawar, Northwestern India,
during the sanguinary rioting
there because their loyalty to the
crown became in doubt.
An official Indian communiQue
from the British foreign office
said:
During the recent disturb
anceS at PeShawar, the con-
duct of two platOOnS Of Indian
troops was found unSatiSfac-
tory. They were transferred
to Abbotabad to undergo an in
vestigatiOn."
Earlier dispatches had told Of
the introduction of British
soldiers to replace native garri-
son forces.
Clashes between militant Hindu
nationalistS and police and the
military continued in scattered
sections, dispatches indicated, but
official circles were optimistic In
their outlook on the native troop
situation.

soap bowl which floats gayly

The bath brush, by the way,
is not the popular institution

use that dead cells of the skin
can be thoroughly removed.
Smashing about with a Soapy

SIMPLICITY
OF DESIGN

In selecting the border it
should be kept in mind that
it is taking the place of an
architectural part and there
fore should never be too elab-
crate in it's nature.
Frequently simple borders
based on the egg and dart
motive or straight lines or any
other architectural factors.
representing high lights and
shadow, can be used with pa
pers of varied patterns which
have not perhaps a border of
their own. Plain papers in
contrasting tones accented with
borders can be used most effec-
lively to produce plaster treat
mentS, correct in tradition to
combine with wallpaper. The
use of borders in creating a
paneled effect is a happy
scheme If care in the proper
ton of the paneling is exer-
cised. If a long. narrow panel
is used, 1t should be balanced
by a larger area in the panel
next to it. A small room of
equal sized panels is possible
if the panels are not too YER
tical in nature. In working
out a scheme of this character,
it is we'll to estimate a dado
line at about 80 inches from
the floor, working above and
below this point. If a simpler
treatment is desired, the bor-
der could easily be used at the
base board and the eXpanSe of
the pattern carried up to the
ceiling line where the border is
again repeated.
!. +. In making wallpaper screens,
waste-baSketS, boxes, the use of
borders is as important as the
pattern itself.

TIMELY WORDS
ON PROPER
ETIQUETTE
BY Mrs. C. Beeckman

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
l. When wishing to send flow
ers upon the death Of a friend,
to whom should they be sent
the deceased person, or some
surviving member of the family?
If the latter, what member?
2. What would be a proper
message to inclose?
8. At a recent "tea" the guest
of honor was asked to "pour@
the tea, and I should like to
know if this was proper, as I
am of the opinion the hostess
should have performed this
duty. E. A.
The coincidence flowers are
sent to the member of the fam
lily who bears the most impor-
tant relationship to the one who
has passed on. That is, If the
husband dies, We address the
flowers to the widow; if a son
dies, we address the flowers to
his mother.
2. We may write on our visit
ing card, incloSed in the box OF
flowers, sympathy" or Deep
est sympathy" or, if we know
the family very well, Love and
sympathy" or Dearest love and
sympathy" or Dearest love to
you all, and my deepest SYM
pathy."
3. No; this was not proper,
and, as you suggest in your
question, for a very obvious rea-
son. The guest of honor should
be busy meeting the friends Of
the hostess, chatting with them
and getting to know them. She
cannot, of course, do this II
she is busy pouring. And !
should think that she would
have been very embarrassed In
being asked to do this.
Nor should the hostess pour.
for she should be busy greet
ing her friends, introducing
each arrival to the other
guests, making combinations
that she knows will be n1u-
tually attractive, and In doing
the thousand-and-one things
that arise at such a party.
The wise hostess invites one
or two or three of her friends
to be cohostesses, and this
takes from the responsibility
of seeing to the tea table
and to it's constant require
ments. If the table is a small
one, only one cohosteSs will
be needed for it; but If, as
usual, there is a different ser
vice at each end of the table,
two cohosteSSes will be re-
quired to sit at the table. One
would dispense tea at one end
of the table and one would
dispense the alternate for tea
coffee is customary nodadayS;
or, in cold weather, chocolate;
or, in warm weather, a fruit
punch.

Courage oozes

The venomous attack left her
painfully self-conScious. She
dreaded attending to the store
the next day. She flushed when
ever a customer glanced at her.
Something of defiant courage
gone from her. She tried to
gain it back by lashing herself
with self-Scorn.
She had told Tom that she
was unafraid. Had told that to
Mary, and here she was, in
panic at the first thrust of a
towards sword.
She looked at her own white
reflection in the mirror with
distainful eyes. That was right
let a lie make her look guilty!
Was that the sort of thing her
pride was fashioned of? Then
she deserved to suffer! Whip
ping up her courage with con-
tempt-hot thoughts seething
behind a cold pride. Struggling
back to a measure of self con
troll.
At 4 the next afternoon, the
phone rang. She found herself
mute and trembling at the
sound of Ken'S voice.
"Ardeth-have you seen this
weeks Spy? That thing-about
uS?"
Without waiting for her reply
he went on in hot rage. God,
what a rotten thing! If I could
get my hands on that beast
whoever it is? Don't you
care, sweetheart! Everyone who
knows you will know it's just
another of the dirty lies. I'm
going down to the printer. I'll
find out who that sneak is and
he'll print a retraction on the
front page or I'll twist his head
off"
The Washington times., 1930-05-01
Indiscreet But Human

IT was wondering when you
were going to come to that, Ard.
Oh, yes, be sure your good
friends discussed it plenty. Phyl-
lis Hawkins and MAZDA Duvant
had a copy when I saw them
down at the hairdreSSer's-the
same woman marcels us, you
know. Though I will say for
Phil that she was pretty indig-
nant. Once she had her own
toes stepped on in the same way
and it knocked a lot Of charity
into her."
Ardeth's voice trembled. "It
was a cowardly thing! But in
a way it's true, Mary. Not of
course the way it tried to make
out-but-but-Ken did come
down ." She told Of that
visit and Mary listened, the fire
light glowing on her steady
black eyes.
"Indiscreet but darned hui
man." was Mary'S comment at
the end Of the recital. "Of
course it was Cecile told Ken
about it. She reads the miser-
able paper every week, you
know"
Ardeth'S face went cold. "You
think that-that she saw it?"
"As If I'd been there! And
Lord what a beautiful rave she
must have pulledI" breathed
Mary fervently.

GROW GOOD
PEONIES

In planting peonies, it is a
good practice to dig the holes
about Is inches deep and two
feet apart. In the bottom of
the hole put four or five inches
of compost and tread 1t well.
over it put enough fine earth
so that when the peony roots
rest upon it the eyes will be
about two inches below the sur
rounding surface, then work
more earth around the roots un-
til the eyes are buried about
one and half inches. Now,
over the crown or eyes of the
plant scatter a handful of hard
wood ashes, after which fill the
hole level full, tread in firmly,
put a handful of bone meal on
top, add more earth until the
surface is well crowned. Do not
forget to place a marker NOW
ing the variety plantedsfi
hole. -
In the early spring. after the z
danger Of frost is over, rake the
branches and mulch away from
the peony roots that have al.
ready been established, and
when the stalks are four or five
inches high keep the - earth
around them we'll stirred, taking
care, however. not to rake too
near, as some smaller eyes may
appear later. When the buds
appear give liquid manure
around the roots about once a
week if you want to get some
