guest can skimp a bit on break fast the day the bridge club meets.
 There are a few general sugges- tions the hostess may want to re- member when planning her spring luncheon menus.
 Count Those Calories!
 In the first place, take stock of the calaries. It's the fats, starch- es and sugars that increase the caiory count at such an alarming rate. This includes in the food list all break k-stuffs-particularly hot buttered rolls so popular on luncheon menus-cream sauces, mayonnaise, whipped cream and very sweet desserts made with yolks of eggs as we'll as cake mix lures. Angel food cake is not ta- boo since it's made mostly of egg whites.
 Toasted crackers can often take the place of bread. A soda crack CT is said to have about one-fourth as many calories as an unbuttered piece of bread the same size as the cracker.
 Fruit cocktails (unsweetened), jellied meats, broiled meats or fish, one hot, succulent vegetable sim ply dressed with salt and pepper and little butter, plain green or fruit salad with French dress ing, and if dessert must be served, Q fruit whip or ice or a ''snow" pudding-all these are delicious and low in calories. Bouillon and consomme have almost no calory value and make excellent first courses if fruit Is wanted for sal- ad or dessert.
 The calories should not total over seven hundred per guest. Re- member that olives increase the calory count rather extravagantly, one olive adding ten to fifteen cal- ories, but radishes and celery have very little calory content. So, when you add up the calories, take all these things into consideration and serve accordingly.
 The following menu averages about $50 calories.

CHILDREN GROW!-- Parents often refuse to acknowl- edge the fact that their children are growing up, mothers in partic- ular. Johnny at twelve to them Is still Johnny of six, and Mary of a dozen summers is still just the same sweet chubby darling who rocked her dollies to sleep several years ago.
 Johnny is going in for teams and clubs and sports instead of trains, and Mary's doll is sup planted by skates and a basket ball, but to their mothers they are at heart just the same little chill dren with the same childish loves they always had.

Perhaps the greatest impedi- ment in ones fight against over plumpness Is the bridge luncheon, that willy foe of dieting. The dieting guest fears that she may offend her hostess if she fails to partake of the tempting rich food usually served but she knows that if she yields she breaks down her carefully guarded diet and undoes the work of weeks of stern "re- ducing.
 But bridge luncheons do mot have to be so noxious to diets. The thoughtful hostess of today plans friends in mind and combines de- lectabiiity with a minimum of caloric content. And the dieting

SALLY VISITS SUE

Sally Bradley was standing at the door when Sue opened it. I'm sorry to intrude again." the girls limpid voice said, and Sue thought, scornfully, that Sally had mistak- enly decided that the wiles that would lure a man might not go so badly with women.
 "You aren't intruding," Sue told her. Wont you come in? The snow is beginning to drift, isn't it?"
 "It's about my sister," Sally made a helpless gesture as she opened her gray coat. "a sports coat that had a cape with a crim- son lining. She's lost her job. I wondered if you knew?"
 ''Lost her job?" Sue repeated. For what?"
 "well, that affair of yours when you had her meet Hal Pritchard seemed to have been misunder- stood"
 T can explain that to anyone" Sue answered. "Whom shall l call?"
 T don't think you had better call anyone" Sue could see Sally retreating. She hadn't counted on this move. Inwardly Sue was tell ing herself that she wouldn't let on to Sally that she knew what had happened. She would find out ev. erything that she could for Ruth.
 "But why shouldn't I explain ?' ''WeIl, you see, the papers have | the true story and anything that you might say would make mat. l ters forse."
 What is the true story?" Sue asked. "Jack and I invited Ruth to go with us to dinner. Hal Pritch- ard was client of Jacks firm. .. supposedly. and 1t was up tc Jack to be nice to him. We, and not Ruth, are responsible for any. unpleasantness!"
 "You are willing to tell that tc anyone?" Sally asked.
 Sue nodded.
 "All right, go ahead and do it What will you say?"
 "You seem to want your sister to be placed in the wrong light Sue answered Sally.
 Ruth danced at the theater and lost a slipper, and made some other moves that have attracted suspicion to her. Sally was say ing. I'm afraid it's a lost cause .. trying to help her. But we would like to have her come home"
 Sue saw very clearly what Sally was doing. She wanted Ruth be. cause she thought that she could profit by having her at home to dc things.

New interests will eventually take the place of the old and these two will be happy normal people again, but nature never goes back.

HOPEWELL, N. j., March 4.
The following letter to the
Lindbergh baby kidnapers was
released today:
Colonel Lindbergh and I
want to make a personal con-
tact with the kidnapers of our
child. Our only interest is in
his safe and immediate return.
Il feel certain that the kid
napers will realize that this
interest is strong enough to
justify their having complete
confidence and trust in any
promises we may make in con-
nection with his return.
I'VE urge those who have the
child to let any representative
that they desire meet a repre-
sentative of ours who will be
suitable to them, at any place
and at any time they may
designate.
IF this is accepted we prom
Use we will keep whatever ar
engagements that they may
make with their representa-
tives and ours strictly conf
dental, and we further pledge
ourselves that we will not try
to injure in any way those
connected with the return of
the child. (Signed) Charles A.

Nevertheless, authorities naturally

4.-County Prosecutor Erwin
E. Marshall announced TODAY
that he will guarantee i'm
munity from prosecution to
kidnapers of Colonel Charles
A. Lindbergh's infant son if
the baby is returned to its
parents.
Marshall said:
In common with the great mass
OF the American public I believe
that the most important thing at
the moment would be return of the
Lindbergh baby.
While this may not appear
ethical, I think it is the thing to
do, and if it develops that the crime
was committed in this county, 1
certainly shall agree with Colonel
Llndbergh, and do everything with
IN my power to grant any protec-
ton necessary to insure the return
of this baby"
The estate of Colonel Lindbergh
is bisected by the Hunterton and
Mercer county line which runs di-
reetly through the Lindbergh home.
There is some doubt as to which
county the baby's nursery is To-
Gated.
To settle the question of juris-
diction, County Engineer Harry
Harris will come here from Trenton
late today to survey the line. He
will project a line from the county
boundary markings to determine
exact location of the nursery.

TRENTON, N. j., March 4.-Gov-
ernor A. Harry Moore today issued

nelp went to the mayor and director
of public safety at Newark and to
the mayors of Philadelphia, Jersey

Governor Moore also telegraphed
an appeal to John A. Swanson.

him to rush Patrick Roche, chief
investigator for Swanson's office, to
Trenton.
To the mayors of the various
cities Governor Moore sent the
following telegram:
The entire country is shocked at

dlnated effort be made to appre-
bend the abductors and return the

agent wanted to see Lindbergh.
Meantime, from the air, a patrol
machine chased away press planes,
and since then the Lindbergh es-
tate has been free of news men
who might spy upon an arrival or
departure from the mountain estate.
In every way he knew, Lindbergh
sought to make the return transac-
tons simple and easy.
Lindbergh is quite ready to follow
any plan the abductors select.
They undoubtedly could employ a
lawyer to confer with the attorney
and friend of Lindbergh, Henry
Breckenridge. And the lawyer could
plead immunity from t~estifying I'M
der the legal rule of confidence be-
tween employer and client.
The kidnaperS could get a mes
sage to Lindbergh to go to a certain
place for further conference.
And the underworld has it's own
grapevine telegraph" whereby.
mysteriously, a criminal can get
word to authorities or to a citizen
that he wishes to come clean"
Sound Out Underworld
Powerful private forces have been
aiding in clearing up the case. on
the basis of no punishment.
The underworld has been sound
ed out in the hope of making some
deal for the return of the baby.
This has been independent of Lind
bergh's efforts, and has had no o n
nection with the authorities.
The theory Of this is similar to
that employed on occasion in rob-
berry cases. The stool pigeons" or
informerS of the underworld have
been known to get stolen Jewels
turned back for a consideration.
Money is paid; the jewels come
back, and no one in authority is
the wiser as to the men who did
the original Job"
Mrs. Lindbergh Courageous
The ~Lindberghs still live in hope,
and are showing a spirit of fortitude
that amazes even their closest
friends.
Mrs. Lindbergh, refreshed by the
first night of sleep she has had
since Tuesday, continued to main
tain her self-possession.
She was up early, and dressed in
a black and white sports costume,
made up of a white flannel skirt
and a crocheted sweater.
She seemed especially concerned
about her famous husband, who is
reported to be in a highly nervous
state, and to have contracted a cold
while tramping through the woods
at night.

Former Coroner Also Fined
$500 in Conviction on
Bribery Charge.

Laughs and Jokes After
Hearing Sentence; Suit
by County Looms.

Fred W. vehling, former coroner,
was sentenced two to fourteen years
in the state prison, fined 500 and
disfranchised for two years.
Sentence was pronounced by Fred
c. Cause, special judge in criminal
court, who presided at the former
coroner'S jury trial resulting in con-
viction of Vehling on a charge OF
bride solicitation.
Before a courtroom crowded with
spectators, Cause pronounced the
penalty as Vehling remained seated
a distance from the bench. Vehl-
ing sat alone and listened intently
as Cause melted the sentence.
Il could have disfranchised you
for a longer period" was Causes
only statement to the former coro-
ner after pronouncing the penalty.
Vehling dE not answer.
In another section of the room,
sat Vehling's attorneys, Eph In
man, Thomas MCGEE and Fred Bar
rett, and the former coroner's ia
Their, Henry D. Vehling, and an
uncle, Herman Kohlbeck.
After hearing the sentence, Vehl-
ing rose from his seat where he had
waited half an hour, and joined the
attorneys and his father and uncle
in the courtroom Offices.
Jokes and Laughs
There Vehling laughed and joked
as arrangements were made for his
release under $1,000 pending appeal
to the supreme court. The bond was
signed by Vehling's father.
Before pronouncing sentence,
Cause overruled defense motions
for a new trial and for arrest of
judgment, arguments on which he
heard Thursday.
Cause permitted defense counsel
ninety days to perfect the appeal.
Vehling's trial grew out of his
indictment by the grand jury fol-
lowing revelation by The Times of
alleged misconduct in Office. Many
of the witnesses heard by the probe
body previously had placed COM
plants against the coroner with
The Times.
The complaints involved the for
mer coroner, in instances charging
body grabbing and excessive charges
for embalming bodies.

Vehling was convicted of threat
ening to change a verdict in the
gas death cases of Mr.. and Mrs.
Benjamin Stickel and William
Coble. unless relatives paid him
$3.50 in cash, several insurance poll
cies, an automobile and household
