how, Frankfort had an off night

CARHITSENGINE
8 INJURED

The failure to halt their car at
the approach of a fire engine on
the Washington and Baltimore
Boulevard, near Beltsville, Md,
yesterday resulted in injuries to
three men and the arrest of an
other for reckless driving and
failing to give the right of way.
An engine of the Branchville,
Md, fire company was proceeding
to a house blaze at BeltSville,
when a machine, driven by IsidOre
Sirota, of Brooklyn, N. Y, failed
to stop at the warning siren of
the truck and crashed into the
side of the speeding engine.
Sirota and a companion, Lewis
Bush, received injuries about the
face and arms and we're removed
to the Providence Hospital by the
Bladensburg fire rescue squad.
Hardy Wilson, fireman, was
thrown from the disabled engine
and slightly injured. He was
treated by nearby physician.
Roy Longnecker, of Branchville,
was the driver of the fire engine.
Constable Howard Slater la~2r ar
rested Sirota on a charge of reck-
less driving. The man was freed
on collateral for his appearance
in Hyattsville police court today.

MANY ENTRIES

The unusual number of entries
for the South River regatta at

Turks Quick to Ride

Buses

ISTANBUL, June 24.-Thert
has recently been a great in
crease in the number of motor
busses in use throughout Tur-
key. Hitherto busses were seen
only in Istanbul. Smyrna and
one or two other large cities,
but now then use is becoming
general and they are proving
very serious rivals to trans and
railroad trains and in some
parts of the country to boats.
Practically all motor busses in
Turkey are Of American manu-
facture, either Ford or General
Motors products.
Fo 80 or 40 years people liv-
ing up the Bosporous have had
to depend on the Chirket Hairie
ferry service. but now they are
using the buses. which are
cheaper and quicker.

Best Remedy for Cough Is Easily
 Mixed at Home

You'll never know how quickly . stubborn cough due to cold can be conquered, until you try this famous recipe. It is used in millions of homes, because it gives more prompt, positive relief than anything else. It's no trod- ble at all to mix and costs but trifle.
 Into pint bottle, pour 213 ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to make a full pint. This saves two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough medicine, and gives you purer. better remedy. It never spoils, and tastes good-children like 1t.
 You can actually feel it's penetraf- ing, soothing action on the infamed throat membranes It is also absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. At the same time, it promptly loosens the germ. laden phlegm. This three-fold action explains why it brings such quick re- lief even in those severe coughs which follow cold epidemics.
 Pinex Is highly concentrated com pound of Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creDsote, in a refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest medicinal agents for severe coughs and bronchial irritations.
 Do not accept substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded. 15

 The three looked at each other.
 What are we to do?" asked Judy's purple eyes.
 What are we to do?" asked Bastien Dumont's black eyes.
 What am I to do?" asked Alan Steyne's blue eyes.
 There was nothing to do. Chum- my did not know her lover. To her he was only handsome boy one of the many she met and talked to and smiled at every day. Chummy loved men and boys: she always said so with her sweet complacency.
 There was silence. Alan Steynes' hard breathing could be heard. Chummy went on smiling, and blow her nose again.
 He's a very handsome boy" she said. And I like him, but I don't know him, Judy" She looked at the young man and asked inconsequently: "Is 1t cold out? Won't you come to the fire and have some beef tea?" Alan Steyne advanced, and Judy pointed to a broken-down basket chair, into which he care fully lowered himself.
 Yes. 1t is cold" he said. He had one of the incest voices Judy had ever heard.
 T should love some beef tea. But are you sure you don't re- member me. Clarissa /? I ain Alan. Don't you remember, at the Cafe Turc every night? What fun those days were! was nearly starving --and you painted so beautifully! And we. used to walk in Central park. Surely you must remember. Clarissa ?"
 Not trace of enlightenment came into Chummy's face. Did you come to the cafe long ago?" she asked. II dare say. | tknew such lots of boys and men at the cafe: but don't know you. I Ike you. Tell me about yourself while Judy makes the beef ten. Judy. make the beef tea at once!"
 Judy went out of the room to fetch cups from cupboard in her box of an attic. She looked at Dumont as she passed him. Her eyes spoke plainly:
 "He can't make love to her while we're there"
 Dumont followed her. Chummy and her lover were alone.
 They were an unconsciona ble time fetching the cups and the bis- cults. When they came back, Steyne had moved nearer to Chum- my. and she was looking more like an angel than ever.
 T like this boy" she said, laugh ing with purring sound. We are going to be great friends"
 They drank beef tea and ate bis. cults and smoked and laughed, and nobody would have known that Judy had not enough money in her purse to buy their food on the morrow. It was. 10 o'clock before Steyne took, his leave. Dumont went with him. Chummy smiled radiantly at Alan. and asked him to come again. The other three

 T mustn't say no. of course. I'm not offended. It's for Chummy and seeing that you're. going to marry her it's only right. Of course I know it's been rotten for hei here.

felt very queer, as if they had spent an hour in an unreal land. Judy dismissed the men with a joke: but she felt very flat and tame as she went back to Chum- my.
 About ten minutes later Chum- my was in bed and asleep, with her flaxen plaits lying like silvery cables on the pillow. Judy shut the door softly and went out up- on the landing on her way to her own room. Light, firm footsteps on the stair made her pause, and Steyne ran up. slightly breathless With one hand he took off his hat with tho other he drew something from his overcoat pocket. "I say" he said very rapidly "I do hope you won't mind, Miss Grant, mean my coming back; but wanted--weli.

 He looked frightened.
 "oh. no-please come too. You know, she may not" "Judy!" came Chummy's voice from inside the room. "Where are you? Why are you such a long time? I'm cold" Judy went to the half-open door. beckoning to the men to follow her. She saw Alan Steyne close his lips tightly and square his shoulders.
