 ''It-it was unavoidable, I'm sure,n answered the girl, who, too, was try ing to salvage some of the fragrant waxen sticks.
 I'm afraid that most of them are ruined" Wade went on. "It was awk- ward of me, but come into Brownell's and we can replace them with others so you're party won't be spoiled" "But we can't replace them-and they weren't for my party" said the girl, sorry that they couldn't be re placed.

RESIDENTS PROTEST
ERECTION OF SCHOOL
"0ssie" Bluege Among Home Own
ers Who Sue District and
Contractors.

Suit to prevent the erection of a.
school opposite their homes in a resi-
dental area was filed late yesterday
afternoon in the District Supreme Court
by Oswald "Ossie" Bluege, third base
man Of the Washington base ball team;
his wife, Margaret H. Bluege, SOL Thir-
ty-ninth street; Samuel D. Moses and
his wife, Bertha r. Moses, 5109 Thirty
ninth street, against the District Com
miSsioners and Alfred T. Newbold, 1925
Connecticut avenue, building contrac-
tor.
The plaintiffs have served notice that
thsy will call the matter to the atten-
ton of the court Friday and will ask
that Newbold be restrained from selling
the property to the Commissioners for
use as a site for a school.
Through Attorneys James G. Wilkes,
Henry A. Schweinhaut and James E.
Arts, the court is told that agents of
Newbold, who built the properties sold
to the plaintiffs, represented that only
one-party residences would be erected in
the vicinity and that Newbold, who
owned the area opposite the homes
bought by the plaintiffs, was going to
improve it with residences. The claim
is made that a portion CT the land
sought to be sold to the District con-
tains a covenant that it will only be
used for residential purposes.
The noise and traffic about school,
the plaintiffs say, would ruin the enjoy
ment Of their home life.

Through her work she met a socio-

He was a man about thirty-eight,
dreamer, an idealist and imbued with
much enthusiasm for the achievements
of Luella Morse. An enthusiasm
which had not to do with her financial
success. He frankly regarded her as
a sort of Messiah to women. His re-

Treasure Hunters Keep
Up Search for Wealth

Coronado led the most amazing ex-
petitions ever made on the North
American continent, the quest for
the Seven Cities of Cibola, the in
habitants of which lived in palaces
ornamented with sapphires and tur-
quoises, and possessed gold without
end. With that amazing quest the
history and the traditions of the
Southwest began. They began with
a seeker for treasure, and almost
constantly since his day to the pres
ent time other seekers have been 60
ing on similar quests in the South
west.
In the San Saba country at the

driven seekers are digging, digging,
digging for hidden wealth that al

Moreover, hundreds of others, men
of all walks of life, will, at the
smallest provocation, give circum-

failing the particulars of its loca-
ton. Literally dozens of them can
produce maps and way bills" to
guide the seeker. They have absolute
faith in the existence of such treas
ure and "some day" they are going
to set out in quest of it. All these,
