There was a time in the DAYS of
knee length dresses when the
thoughts of a full length skirt was
abhOrrent to those who discussed
the matter. Now that they are in
favor again they seem the right and
proper thing. Could one have looked
on at the lovely party that Miss
Ann Grier gave on Monday evening
for her sister, Mrs. Marvel Wilson.
of SwarthmOre, one would have, at
once, decided that the long skirts
added much to the grace and lowell
ness of the guests" appearance. In
the soft glow of shaded lights, the
many hues of dresses made a beaO-
tiful picture. Add to that the con-
geniality Of friends, beautiful
flowers, charm of tho hostess, and
the setting for an enjoyable evening
is complete. Not the least of the
pleasures of the evening was the re-

Tarzan fashioned a new bow and arrow and
made a stout spear. When Tar-gash saw how
easily Tarzan brought down game with these
weapons, he showed keen interest and the ape
man was soon able to teach his primitive COM

come well out now upon plain and they could
see the solid green of great forest curving
upward into the hazy distance. Suddenly the
attention of both was attracted by strange,

was Bowen, turned away toward the

We'll, I'll just run up and see

get a look at that necklace myself.
NO objections?"
Go ahead"
They had all gone and Mary
found herself alone with Mr.. Jupi-
ter IN the library A fire cracked
IN the great fireplace. A dim haze
Of cigaret smoke filled the air.
1t was very quiet. The tick of a
grandfather clock sounded in her
ears like the voice of conscience,
pushing her forward.
She got up and went over and
sat down beside Mr.. Jupiter in front
Of the fire.
Mr.. Jupiter, there's something I
must tell YOU"
Her hands were cold and her
throat so dry she could hardly get
the words out, but she was resolved
to go on. She could not bear the
sight of that bowed figure without
doing something to help.
He looked up vaguely, as if be-
coming aware Of her for the first
time. Seeing the suffering in that
lined face, Mary's heart failed her.
She remembered with a stab of
fright DR.. Jordan's warning of a
few hours ago. He must not be
allowed to brood if we can help it.
If he does, his mind will GO"
MIR. JUPITER S devotion to his
IVA wife, the doctor had reminded
Mary, was unique even among hap
PLY married couples. He told her
why; at least, he told what he had
heard-that Mrs. Jupiter had turned
down the richest man in their small
upstate village to marry Jim Jupi-
ter, a penniless mechanic, and live
in poverty.
That was why he had lived just
to give her everything. Now she
was gone, his reason for living was
taken from him.
Brooding on the tragedy might
shake his sanity, and no wonder,
since it was the very jewels he had
delighted to deck her in that had
brought about her death.
Come and see me soon," DR.. Jor-
dan had said to Mary, earnestly.
Il want to talk to you about what
we must Go to save him"
Odd that she should be the one
he talked to about this But she did
not have time to wonder what he
meant
"Mr Jupiter, I've something to tell

"Eh? Oh, yes" He smiled and
reused himself. "I know-you're

looked utterly bereft, what else
could she have said?
He was staring into the fire again.
His face was working, like that of
a child who is trying hard not to
cry. Sick, with pity Mary looked
away.
It's not the same without her,
is it, child?" she said sadly.
DR.. Jordan's words flashed into
her mind. Taking a deep breath,
she plunged ahead.

BONES OF ANCIENT
WHALE DISCOVERED

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20. U.P)-
Bones-not the kind your dog digs
up-but the petrified skeleton of a
whole, today was regarded as posi-
tive proof that this section of the
Pacific Coast was under water some
100000 years ago.
The discovery was examined by
paleontologists, who declared it was
the first complete skeleton ever
found intact, an done of the most
important finds to date OF that era
in the tracing of marine vertebrates
The skeleton. they said, WIS that
of the beak whale, belonging to
the Mocene period. 1t was 80 feet
in length, with a skull which mea
sured five or six feet from the
mouth to the neck vertebra.
DR.. Chester Stock, curator of the
department of paleontology of the
Los Angeles Museum, declared that
the discovery of the skeleton again
proved that all of the land west of
the Rocky Mountains was once the
oceans floor.

Reversing the ruling of the lowei

1t was understood that differences

KOSHER MEAT BILL

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 90. U.p)-If
the California state legislature
adopts the bill regulating the sale
of Hebrew kosher meats, Governor
Rolph will sign the measure and
enact 1t into law.
The bill perennially introduced by
Assemblyman Harry Lyons of Los
Angeles, makes it unlawful to sell
as kosher any meats or food not
prepared in accordance with the
Jewish ritual.
At the 1929 session the bill was
adopted by both houses of the leg

SETTLE DISPUTE
OVER ESTATE OF
FORMER SENATOR

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30. UP)-
Distribution Of the huge estate of the
late Senator George Lafayette
Finn, Of Iowa. who died here two
years ago under strange circum-
stances, today was advanced when
Probate Judge Albert l.. Stephens
approved two compromises involving
claims of 100000 against the estate.
The claims had been filed by DR..
Frank w. Murphy who attended the
senator prior to his death, and by
John M. Dickey, Finn's nurse. Each
sought payment of 100000 on notes
said to have been signed by the
senator.
In the compromises ratified today,
the notes were surrendered upon
payment of s2500 to each of the
claimants. Trustees of the estate
fought settlement of the claims.
Charges last year that Finn might
have been poisoned were dropped
after an extensive investigation.

SANTA FE MAY
SEEK ENTR0 TO
SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. %. U.P)-
Possibility that the Santa Fe rail-
road may establish a direct rail
connection into San Francisco over
the new Western Pacific line from
Redwood City was seen today.
Any railroad with more than $50
miles of rail may use the Western
Pacific opening, under the ruling
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, it was said, and the Santa
Fe had expressed a desire for a
rail entry into San Francisco.
Nothing of the sort has yet
been contemplated, said j. r.
Hayden, traffic manager of the
Sante Fe, "of course no one can
tell what the future may bring"
The possibility that the Southern
Pacific, chief opponents of the new
link, would ask the commission for
a rehearing, was rumored. South
ern Pacific officials declined to
make statement until the full de-
cision had been read.
Western Pacific officials reported
no new developments in negotia-
tionS for the joint use of the South
ern Pacific's Dumbarton bridge,
which would save approximately
S4,000,000 in construction costs. The
joint use has been sanctioned by
the commission, conditioned upon
the Southern Pacific's agreement.

BURNING CYCLONE
Identification Of Dead Is
Difficult Due To The
Condition of Bodies.
BY PAUL ii. KARNES
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

LINTON, Ind, Jan 30. U.p)--
Seven miners who had been given
up as dead were found alive at
dawn today in the Little Betty
mine shaft, leaving % known dead
from a blast which late yesterday
wrecked the shaft.
The death toll was fixed in an
official report from the mine after
the body of Fred Reed, the last to
be recovered, was removed. All who
were in the shaft when the explosion
occurred were killed save nine, of
whom two walked out last night.
The other seven, caught deep in
| the earth, bratticed a small side
chamber, knowing their oxygen
supply would last only a few hours.
The air was becoming fouled when
rescue squads cleared the entry this
morning.
State and federal officials an
nounced today after a brief survey
of the situation that the explosion
which rocked the mine and trapped
the miners mile back in the tun-
mel had been caused by gas.
They said a fall Of slate had re-
vealed the porous lime rock forma-
ton from which the gas eAuded.
Survivors described the explosion
as burning cyclone" and said
the charred condition of ne bodies
bore out their description.
1t was impossible to make posi-
tive Identification of the 13 bodies
that had been recovered, as they
were burned almost beyond recog-
milton.
Those tentatively identified, how
ever, were: o. Hale, Sullivan; Jess
Templeton, Linton; Hubert Butler,
Linton; Lotus Mitchell. Pleasant
vile; John Letote, Linton: Earl
Bedwell, Linton; Andy Winterbot-
tom, Sullivan; Homer Robertson,
Pleasantville; Leo Hosiditz, Dugger:
Clarence McQueary, Jasonville.
John Southard Jr.. Linton: Ralph
Enochs, Pleasantville.
The identification of six other
bodies was incomplete.
Joe Wallace was among the first
reported dead But rescue workers
administered first aid to him, he
was revived, and physicians said he
would recover. Earl Bedwell was
taken out alive, but died. Many of
the bodies were mutilated and
burned beyond recognition.
At least seven of the rescue
workers were overcome by poison
gas or dropped from exhaustion
during the night. One of them, Jim
Wall, boss of another mine, was
taken out unconccious. 1t was
feared he would die. An hour later
he stumbled back into the shaft
and at 5 a. m. today had not come
out again.
Hundreds of women and children
remained grouped around the en-
trance to the mine all night. A
first aid hospital was set up near
by for the rescue workers who
needed medical attention.

WORLD FLYERS
FORMER SPOUSE :.
DENIES CHARGES

PHOENIX, Jan. %. U.P)-Mrs
Mildred Avery Arnold, sued second
time for divorce by her aviator-hus-
band, Lieut.. Leslie p. Arnold, en-
tered a general denial to his charges
in superior court here today.
Mrs. Arnold made the most Of hel
day in court by submitting depo-
sitions in denial of testimony pre-
sented earlier by Arnold in support
of his infidelity complaint.
The name of Lieut.. Frank A. Law
renee, navy officer stationed at New
London. Conn, was the center OF
the testimony. Lawrcnce's own de-
position, offered by Arnold. told OF
his alleged friendship with Mrs. Ar
mold. The latter said she only met
Lawrence once and then when he
was in company with Edna j
Leary of Waterford, Conn. A depo-
sition of the latter said the same
thing.
Mrs. Arnold also offered testimony
of Edna w. Mainwaring, proprietor
OF a resort hotel at Waterford a,
which Arnold alleged his wife at
tended many gay parties. Mrs. Main
waring said Mrs. Aronld was very
ladylike." Mrs. Lucy A. Avery
Groton, Conn.,, 70-year-old mother
of Mrs. Arnold, said she never knew
Lieutenant Lawrence.
Arnold objected in vain to admis-
sion of the Georgia divorce pro-
ceedingS, in which he won decree
only to have it set aside on his
wife's allegations of fraud. and
Judge j. G. Niles accepted 1t as evi-
dence.
