(This famous story has been
made into a talking picture
by Metro GoIdwyn- Mayer with
Marion Davies in the leading
FOle.)
Jenny's kind of opposition to
the invasion of Gerkes had
been tinctured with the wisdom
of certain restraint. Here
was one of the times it was
not good to oppose Rarick.
She had missed this scent a
few times, once in particular
over an apparently trivial mat
ter that had to do with Avery
and a weekend stag party Of
IL school companions which
she planned for him on board
a motor yacht which she was
maneuvering for his father to
give him on his fifteenth birth
day.
The idea of Avery on his own
private yacht, lording it as host
over ii youngsters to whom
q yacht was that days toy, was
rolling to Rarick. There had
been a similar scene, not two
months before. over a cigar
chapel roadster for Avery; but
then there had been high, bit
ter, even more terrible words,
and Rarick's foot had come
down with an emphasis that
Jenny somehow knew better
than to further oppose, and
Avery had not even been al,
lowed to come home from school
at Newberry over the occasion
of his birthday.
For High Stakes
There had been a matter that
had to do with Jennifer, who
had played high stakes beside
her mother at the baccarat
tables of Nice and won sums

United States Praised
in Cuban School Books

AS l walked about the streets of
Havana and rode through the coun-
try districts, speaking in long
lected Spanish, | wondered what
could be in the minds of these Gu
bans concerning Americans. They
are embarrassingly polite; it was
hard to find the truth.
"Why don't you look in our school
books and see what they teach us
about the United States?" one young
Cuban asked me. l followed his ex-
cellent advice.
There are two standard school his
tories in the Cuban schools, one for
the primary grades and one for high
schools. l turned to the pages that
told of the rescue of Cuba from
Spain.
There was RoOsevelt's picture and
Taft's; General Woods and Ma
goons.
In the primary history there are
three solid pages of praise for the
"Norte AmericanOs" and how they
drove the Spaniards out of the land.

Color in Market Basket

The newest findings indicate that
the yellow plant pigment, termed
carotone, is the f"rerunner of vita
min A in the body, although it is
potent in extremely minute amounts.
For some time it has been OBJ
served that various yellow vegetable
food products seem to furnish the
equivalent of vitamin A, the food
factor that is abundant in butter
and in cod liver oil Yellow corn is
more effective than the white vari-
cites, the yellow sweet potato is
richer than the ordinary white po-
tatO; and the yellow carrot abounds
in something that can avert the lack

TELL OF TRAITS
OF SOME HUBBIES
Bewildered Young Wives
Have Confab.

Two years ago she was a bride, but
now she has graduated into the
realm of the young marrieds," and
l learned about the strange beha Tor
of husbands from her Although she
is still madly in love, the passage of
two years has revealed certain Oddi-
ties in the man of her choice that
she never tires of delineating. In
fact, she tells me that the only way
she can convince herself that the
youth is not absolutely cuckoo in
spots is to hop in her flivver of an
afternoon and make the rounds Of
her married contemporaries. Ii is
then that she discovers tn her Bill
is not unique, but most strangely
like unto Tom, Dick and Harry. At
such times young wives air their
grievances and the conversation runs
something like this:
"The first six months that we were
married, Bill hated to see company
come. He resented the calls of his
friends as an intrusion upon our
happiness. But now if the door
bell rings, he almost knocks me
down to see who it is. If it is a
visiting gent. he falls on his neck
with loud cries of Hello, Tom, old
kid 4! Have a drink, have a cigarette,
have anything! Ho-war-yu, any
way?"
This little incident has been re-
peated time after time in every home
to the mystification of bewildered
young wives vho cannot understand
that however charming, no woman
can be all things to her husband for
ever. When this idiosyncrasy is ex-
hausted of its possibilities they move
on to the exasperating retirement of
the male behind the newspapers.
"My dear, it's been months since
l saw Tom alone when he was not
screened from view by the daily
newspaper. The first thing in the
morning he grabs the paper off the

porch, and only emerges long enough
to peck me over the edge of it when
he goes to work. In the evening
the first word he says is Where is

him till bedtime.~
Have you ever in your life seen
anything to equal the way they leave
their clothes lying around the house
Dick never hangs up anything. He
drops his clothes off wherever he Is
standing. Actually it's uncanny the
way they retain the shape of his
body! The legs of his trousers and
the sleeves of his coat don't col
lapse so that when | stumble over
them it's like coming upon his dis
membered parts!"
That's nothing to what Harry
can do with the bathroom rug
you know that cute little handwoven
square that | got for a wedding
present? Well, so far as | can see
he does nothing but stand on it in
the most innocent manner as he
shaves, but when he quits the bath
room the rug acts as if it had con-
vulsiOns. It's positive tumor in the

thing about me to get used to was
running into spilled powder all over
the place, yet he has one special reel
that has laid in full view on the sec
retary for two years. Our happiness
would be ruined if l moved it! Isn't
he crazy?"
Toms pet names are what get
me down. He called me grand
things before we were married, like
darling and sweetheart and beau
tiful' but now if he says hello, old
dear I'm lucky. For the most part
he calls me fat. Now l ask you,
what is your opinion of man who
thinks that fat is a term of en-
dearment? Besides, I'm not fal, or
at least not veryl Just because I've
gained five pounds since w were
married he calls me 'fatr It's in

the woman resign at the end of the
year if she marries during the year.

The high school history goes into
detail. 1t shows how we challenged
old Spain, how we sank her navy and
drove Weyler out, and then it tells
how our government scientists helped
Cuba to conquer fevers and miasma

SAN FRANCISCO, July 8.-Overcast
skies and lower temperatures were
heralded today as allies to fire-fighters
weary with battling blazes in Northern
California the past week.
Only q few Of the dozen or more
blazes which have swept thousands OF
acres of brush, pasture and forest still
were burning.
A force of 800 men battling a fire
which burned over 10000 acres between
Monticello and Vacaville, Calf. was
augmented yesterday by 100 Marines
and sailors from Mare Island Navy

Heat from the blaze was reported to
have done considerable damage to fruit

Diablo, which destroyed several ranch
homes and 500 head of cattle, has been
brought under control.

BUREAU REMOVES
FEAR OF DROUGHT
Enough Rainfall Assured for
July to Keep Crops
Furnishing.

NY rainfall is expected by Weather
Bureau officials to remove any cause
for anxiety over the threatened return
of drought conditions in wide ~reas OF
Maryland and Virginia as result OF
abnormal dryness during June, when
rainfall was only So per cent of normal.
Rainfall records took a hard tumble
in June, particularly in the District OF
Columbia and Virginia. But the cleo
trical storms during the first week OF
this month, reports of which were made
available at the Weather Bureau today,
gave cause for much reinsurance. Con-
ditions are considerably better as
result of this weeks rams" declared
Joseph B. Kincer, weather mete-
o:o!cgist, who had just completed his
rainfall measurements over the whole
country.
1.3-Inch Fall in Week.
For instance, he pointed to a rain
fall record of 13 inches in the District
of Columbia during the first week OF
this month. This doesn't appear to be
much, but as a matter of fact 1t Is
slightly more than half the total pre-
cipitation during the month OF June.
Baltimore Jared even better than
Washington, with rainfall OF lncneS
during the past week.
I'VE are fortunate in this section in
getting Just enough rain to keep things
going" said Mr.. Kincer. A little less
this month. he believed, would have
had very bad effects on farming con-
ditions.
Sees Better Conditions.
There is every reason to anticipate
better conditions for the remainder of
July which has already had an en-
couraging start.
Records for the District of Columbia
show June rainfall CT rs per cent
OF normal in the entire State OF V1r-
GINA. Maryland Jared little better.
Heavy rains in May brought the local
rainfall to 1870 per cent Of normal. or
total of 4,S inches. compared with
81 inches in June. During April the
rainfall was 88 per cent of normal, and
In March, 90 per cent.
While Virginia records In June
showed a decided lack OF rain, the first
three months of the growing season
we're decidedly better. March showed
e6 per cent of normal rainfall; April,
ITO per cent, ana May TedCIleu CilC CII-
couraging figure CT 1873 per cent.
June Was Trying.
June wealth., especially during the
latter part of the month, was very
irving to crops over large sections OF
the country and rainfall very unevenly
distributed.
However" said Mr.. Kincer, "a hot
dry spell could hardly have come at
a better time to cause the least amount
of damage to staple crops. Winter
wheat was largely too far advanced
to be seriously harmed and corn In
the principal producing sections had not
reached It's critical stage of growth.
In nearby Maryland and Virginia, he
said, pastures suffered the worst from
June dryness These conditions, he
added, are likely to improve consider
ably in view of hard rains this month

ton are in a satisfactory condition.

TASTELESS STAMP GUM
OBJECT OF u. S. STUDY
Chemists Try Sweet Potato Starch
as Possible Dextria Source.
Import Saving Forseen.

BY the Associated Press.
The fact that people insist upon lick
ing stamps and envelopes has started
Agriculture Department chemists on
search for a native starch which will
produce a tasteless dextrin.
At present it is necessary to import
annually several million dollars worth
of dextrin. made from the starch of the
cassava plant of the tropics. to satisfy
the taste of discriminating stamp
lickers.
The sweet potato may hold the secret.
Chemists are experimenting with its
starch to determine its qualities. Should
they be successful, it might mean utili-
zation of considerable quantities of
sweet potato wastes.
