Evidence Held Insufficient.
"In connection with the investigation,
the grand jury was met with a great
conflict of evidence, some purchasers
claiming they were guaranteed resale
at enormous profits and at early dates,
some purchasers merely claiming that
representations were made to them of
future resale value, some purchasers
claiming that no suggestions were made
to them as to the possibility of resale
most of the purchasers signed deposit
contracts u which were the specific
provision Indicating that no guarantee
of resale was made; most Of the pur-
chasers we're, as of the time they testi-
fed, enthusiastic about the lots they
had purchased more than three
fourths of the purchasers have to date
renewed their contracts for the purchase
Of their respective lots.
THESE lots were sold under a con-
tract with deferred-paymen ar
rangement and with the further provi-
sion that deeds to the property would
not be given until such time as COM
plete payments were made under the
contracts.
Provides No Protection.
This body has been unable to as
certain anything illegal in this type OF
sale, but believes that such manner OF
sale of real estate cannot be too strongly
condemned, because it provides no pro-
lection to the purchaser against either
honest default by the sales concern be-
cause of situations over which they
might have no control or because Of
dishonest default by the sales concern
I'VE believe that the only proper way
to accomplish these sales Is by war
ranty deed. and if there is not full pay
ment made the balance should be Sc
cured by trust or mortgage, thereby
giving to the purchaser the maximum
of protection and relieving him of in
itiating litigation to protect his rights
as might be his lot in a great many in
stances under the contract arrange.

COTTONWOOD FALLS, Kans., April
IA coroner's Jury having failed to
determine the cause of an airpIane
crash which sent Knute Rockne and
seven others to their deaths, interest
turned today to an inspection by An
thony Fokker. designer of the craft.
Flying here from Los Angeles, Fox
ker expressed the belief 1.-THE fight
should not have been undertaken In
existing weather conditions" and that
adverse flying conditions and the hui
man element, rather than structural
failure, was responsible.
He said, however. he would with
hold definite statement until he had
viewed the vreckage OF the Transcon-
tinental & Western Air Express liner
and talked with witnesses.
Cowboys on Stand.
The short verdict, "the deceased
came to their deaths In an airplane
fall, cause undetermined" closed the
States investigation after cowboys,
who were the first to reach the scene,
and aviation experts had testified.

thorities sought to substantiate re-
ports that H. j. Christen, Chicago. one
of the victims, had cashed a $4,000
check shortly before he boarded the
air liner. No such sum was found by
authorities at the scene. From Chi

The designer said he had his own
opinion Of the crash
Zee, forming on the wings, may have
played a part" he said. I'm my opin-
ion the ship was placed in a violent

cause of the crash
Three hundred ships of the type. he
added. have been built in conformity

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April "A court
order commanding the Graduate School
Of Marquette University to confer upon
Miss Mary keenan, mester of arts de-
gree was sought today as the after
math of a paradoxical hearing before
a court commissioner.
The paradox arose from a situation
in which Miss keenan,, former stu
dent, was permitted to interrogate her
former teacher, DR.. Edward A. Fitz-
patrick dean of the graduate school.
After attending Columbia and Penn
sylvania Universities, Miss keenan, took
postgraduate course at Marquette in
1880 to win masters degree. She
finished the required work and took the
prescribed examinations and was then
refused degree. She is now teach
ing In a junior high school.

When the family and guests be- gin to feel that they can't eat much and when the cook is at her wits end, turn to these new menus for dinner Inspirations. They are by Sarah Field Splint in McCall's for Augut:
 First Course: Melon, fruit or fish cocktail, tomato juice or clam juice cocktail. Soup-hot or jellied Salad-small portions, very cold. Canapes or assorted hors d'oeuvre
 Main Course: Cold sliced meat; 1; a hearty meat or fish salad; scal- loped, creamed, or au gratin dishes; fondues;, eggs-omelets scrambled, creamed, Benedictine, jellied, etc; any favorite family dishes.

By JANE ROGERS

This is the time of the year when the little red line on the thermometer climbs close to ninety and the kitchen seems even warmer and the side porch looks so cool and inviting-and no housewife wants to spend any more time than necessary over a stove.
 Certainly she is not wholly to blame. It is so easy to assemble a few leftover vegetables or fruits and heap them artisticaly on cool, crisp lettuce leaves, especially when everyone seems entirely sat isfied with the result.
 Yet the need for more substan- tial foods is just as great in sum- mer as in the cold winter months. Meats, potatoes and the heavier offerings which form the bulk of the winter diet should not be omit ted from the summer menu, just because to prepare them means a little more time in the kitchen.
 Even if the housewife Is using summer as an excuse to cut down on the family meat bill, it is pos- sible through the medium of the cheaper cuts to keep this impor- tant item on the menu and still

 A very delicious, nutritious and easily prepared meat may be pur- chased sliced, ready-to-serve, by the pound in glass jars or cello- phane wrappers. This appetizing meat is none other than dried beef. Its flavor greatly enhances bland foods, such as cereals, macaroni and spaghetti. It is also exceed ingly tempting with summer vege- tables. Dried beef will whet the appetite and make otherwise taste less dishes exceedingly tempting. It is highly concentrated food with little or no waste and Is one of the least expensive, yet very nutri- tious meat.
 The following are but a few of the many suggestions for the use of this desirable economical meat: Dried Beef with Mushroom Sauce
 Melt 2 tablespoons Cloverbloom butter, add tablespoons flour and stir until smooth. Then add cups brown stock made by dissolving 2 veribest bouillon cubes in 2 cups boiling water.

Moisten with Veribest evaporated milk. Season to taste. Bake 20 minutes in $50 degree F. or moderate oven.

She who is mistress of the art of cooking has mastered any number of ways to conserve time and en- ergy. One of her fixed rules is to make things in quantity instead of little patches, whenever 1t is feasible to do so. For instance, there's the chocolate syrup for drinks and confections. The wise caterer prepares enough of this to fill a glass jar, knowing that from this supply she can concoct num- Der of delicious things to drink on short notice.
 To make the syrup and the delec- tables of which this syrup Is the chief ingredient, follow these direc-' tiOns:

 Cheaper cuts can be made just as tasty as the more expensive ones if properly seasoned. Salt, vinegar, sugar, parsley and the other accepted seasonings will work wonders in creating a really substantial dish with appetite ap- peal. The sugar is important be- cause it helps to blend the other seasonings and point up the flavor of the dish as whole.
