much lamenting earlier in the

Secretary Davis was resigning
to run for the gubernatorial
nomination in his State.
+: It seems more than probable
however, that she will remain.
Not as a cabinet hostess but
as a member Of the Senatorial
group. A change that will
make very little difference,
other than g. matter of prece-
dence, in her position here.

A Very Clever
Butter Cutter, 30c

To serve butter in the man
ner of some of the very best
restaurants, buy one of these
simple metal implements that
we will call a hook for lack
of a better word, 1t shaves
the butter off in a curled W1sp
that forms a tiny ear of
corn, most attractive with corn
sticks or toast. It's easier to
spread than butter in more
solid form. incidentally, and of
course goes further.

cherished piece of luggage just
isn't done when you can buy,
these nice looking little cases
of a composition material that
looks like black leather for SO
cents. 1t is 14x28 inches, just
the right size to stick in the
left-overs that might do damage
in the nicely packed bags-it
would hold rain-coats, your fish
ing tackle or what have you?
1t is far more comfortable to
stumble over, as the corners are
rounded, and it might really
prove to be one of the strong
points of a weekend.

 in $500 bail today on a charge of
 sending obscene matter through
 the mail-to herself.
 Miss Jourdin, q Sunday school teacher and a member of the Ladies Aid, admitted, according to authorities, that she had writ ten more than POO obscene letters to herself. At the district attor- ney's office it was said that the letters were so obscene that they could not be shown to news paper men.
 The reason for the letters, ac- cording 10 Miss Jourdin's con- fcSSion. was that she was in love with Sheriff Floyd Brewer. Two years ago she decided he was her ideal man." and she conceived the idea of writing the obscene letters to herself so that she might take them 10 Brewer and make complaint. A few days ago Brewer discovered, in the course of his Investigation, that the letters were written on Miss | Jourdins typewriter.

Regular Navigation Routes
Advocated at Conference
of All Interests.

a conference of ship owners, ship op-
orators and Government officials yester-
DAY adopted a resolution favoring in
qualified fashion the establishment of
steamship lanes for use of coastwise
shipping as a measure of increasing
safety at sea.
The resolution, as drafted by Ira A.
Campbell, general counsel of the
American Steamship Owners Associa-
ton. recommended "the voluntary
establishment and use of lanes by ship
Sing interests wherever practicable, "
leaving further study of its possibilities
to be undertaken by committees organ
lied for the purpose.
D. N. Hoover, inspector general of the
Steamboat service, also advanced a
project for requiring oil tankers and
other shipping laden with infiammable
or explosive material to anchor and
cease navigation in foggy weather over
crowded sea areas.
This proposal met with less favor
from the c6nferees. The question was
left open.
The proposal would seek to avoid
collisions such as that in Massachusetts
Bay last Summer between tanker and
the liner Fairfax, which caused heavy
loss Of life
