house in the city offering it's
fullest cooperation in the mat
ter of fruits, nuts, toys and
candies for the great parties
which the orphans of the city

necessary Christmas goodies.
The various transportation
agencies have made all arrange
ments to carry the children to
and from their parties, and the
theaters are making preparations
to insure the events being gala
occasions.
Merchants Generous
The southwest commission mer-
chants have invited the party
committee to see them before
purchasing fruit for the parties,
which means that this organiza-
ton will donate enough apples
and oranges to care for both
parties.
The American Stores Company,

partment stores of the city are
to be depended on to aid the

Twenty passengers in a
Great Eastern bus, bound for

death or serious injury when
the bus struck another car,
scaled a dirt embankment and
turned over on the Baltimore

miles south Of Laurel, late

A few minutes after the pas

the bus. The gas tank exploded,
and although Laurel Fire Depart

within a short time.
Edward F. Alexander, of Wash

occurred when a car driven by

just as he was about to pass.
Due to the slippery pavement,
Alexander said, the bus skidded
and crashed into Kobre's car.

EXILE CASE TO
Be STUDIED BY
SCHOOL HEADS
Governor Loses Interest,
but Reformatory Trustees
Promise Inquiry.

Although Governor Harry G.
Leslie's Office has lost interest in the
case Of John Tooley, Is, who was
ordered from his home by Judge
Claude Smith of Gibson circuit
court, and then sent to the Indiana
boys school because he didn't exile
himself fast enough, trustees at the
institution are going to take up the
matter.
Meeting of the trustees will be
held at the institution at Plainield.
Aug. 4. The Tooley boy had been
released from a former sentence
there after earning sufficient merit
marks, according to Albert B.
Snyder, trustee.
Storm Of protest against the con-
duct Of Judge Smith in the case,
caused L. o. .ChaSey, secretary to
Leslie, to take an interest in it.
Judge Smith sent letter defending
his conduct to Chasey. The Gibson
County Bar Association, made up of
many lawyers who try cases in his
court, backed the judge. A private
investigator" brought back a report.
Now Chasey announces that the
Governors Office no longer is inter
ested and the affair is "a closed in
cident."
The Tooley boy had stolen about
50 worth of tools from blacksmith
shop. His family is poor and the
boy always was penniless.

NEW YORK. July 30.--Here's a
y new idea about blankets.
One that will help make your bed
room more decorative and more
comfortable.
When you make your next
blanket purchase, instead Of buy
ing a pair Of exactly matching
ones, try three single blankets
two in one color or pattern and
the third in another. And III three
blankets IN different weights, one
heavy, one medium and one light.
Then you have three different
weights ready for various weather
changes, from which you can make
seven different weight combina-
tons. Each blanket can be used
alone (three different weights; all
three used together "a fourth
weight: or the heavy can be used
with the medium, the heavy with
the light, or the medium with the
light. Seven combinations IN all.
Lend Decorative Effect
Then for decorative effect, two
can be used on the bed with one
folded across the foot for use as
comforter or throw.
For instance, your two matching
blankets might be in gay plaid
pattern like the one illustrated.
plaid patterns like this-the big
blocks-and the narrower stripe
plaids are very much in fashion0
Then your third blanket could be a
solid color land the solid color
blanket Is just about the most fash
ionable of alb repeating one Of the
colors in the plaid.
or you might have two solid
color blankets and one of plaid or
stripe dixie the stripe sketched).
Or two solid color blankets and a
third in a different solid color, such
as two greens and one peach.
Many COIors Available
There's practically no end to the
color effects you can make with to-
days blankets. There are all those
lovely pastel tints of green, rose,
orchid, peach, yellow and blue that
seem even lovelier when put into
soft blanket woods.
Then there are two-tone blankets
