Luke LEA, SON
LOSE APPEALS
Supreme Court Refuses to
Review Case; Faces 10 {.
Years in Jail.
By United Press

ny CHtt6U FTeSS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Luke
Lea, Tennessee newspaper publisher,
financier and politician, today lost
his appeal to the supreme court in
connection with his ten-year jail
sentence imposed after conviction
on charges of conspiracy and mis-
application of funds of the Ashe-
vile On Co. Central Bank and Trust
Company.
The court denied LEAFS application
for a review of his conviction. The
ruling was expected to result in i'm
mediate imprisonment. The court s
action also applied to Luke Lea Jr.
who was convicted with his father in
the North Carolina courts.
The proceedings against Lea grew
out of dealings of Caldwell & Com
pany, Nashville, Tenn, investment
banking house, with the Asheville
bank, one of the largest in the state,
prior to the banks closing.
The transactions involved the sale
of $315,000 in industrial bonds to
the bank and the subsequent trans
fer of certificates.

DUT you don't know the tales
- they could tell and the sac
rif1ces of brotherly love they make
for each other unless you join
the Clothe-a- Child campaign and
ask The Times for a boy or girl
to take into your heart at Christ
mas time, making him happy and
warm with clothing to supplant
rags.
For instance, there was Jimmy
and the song unthinking school
mates sang about him.
Jimmy wears no underwear, his
stockings have holes. and made
over summer suit coat of his
dads is his overcoat.
And as Jimmy goes to school
it'll be the same way after Christ
mas unless he's clothed by The
Times. His schoolmateS, in sing
song voices, call to him, Jimmy,
bum bimmy title inny, go finny,
see-legged, hole-legged, poor little
Jimmy"

his own bodily chills. but the jests

Practice Is Denounced by
Supreme Tribunal.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Prohi-
bition agents who persuade persons
to violate prohibition laws in order
to make a case for prosecution were
denounced today by the supreme
court.
While finding that such conduct
was contrary to public policy" the
court ruled that lower courts could
not dismiss criminal proceedings in
cases developed by such means.
A defendant should, however, be
allowed to introduce evidence of en-
trapment at his trial. the court said.
The court accordingly reversed
the conviction of G. V. Sorrells,
Clyde N. c., in an important pro-
hibition decision dealing with the
entrapment question.

VEGETABLE Jaice cocktails are
popular and one of the easi-
est first courses TO serve, yet many
housekeepers overlook their pos
sibilities. The finest hotels and
restaurants include them among
first course appetizers and they
are just as practicable for home
use
AS in any appetizer, careful sea-
soning is of great Importance.
Lemon juice or a fine favored vim
egar, sugar, salt, sometimes a
mere suspicion of spice. a drop of
onion juice, suggestion of cell
cry and hint of pepper-one. all
Or part of these seasonings can be
added 10 almost any vegetable fla
vor with appetizing effect.
Thorough chilling and attrac-
tive serving also are essential.
While the cocktail must be per-
fectly smooth and "drinkable. it
need not be of watery consist
ency. For instance, strained
orange juice has bit more sub
stance than clear water and is
pIedSdnlly SInOOlH with CO1SlSl-
ency ideal in a cocktail
Tomato juice and sauer kraut
juice are rather commonly used,
but other vegetables can be suc-
cessfully manipulated, too. Can
ned vegetables or fresh ones are
equally good and there is no waste
or loss of yitamin or mineral con-
tent when the juice as well as the
solid vegetable is used.
Juices May Be Combined
Combinations of vegetables can
be worked out with satisfactory
results. Color as we'll as flavor
is often improved when the juices
are combined A strong juice
such as cauliflower is toned down
by the addition of mild juice
such as green beans, while a deli
cately favored juice such as peas
is given piquancy and color by the
addition of beet and celery juices
