He was killed the day before he

Ham was Charles Hanil-

that the kid was something of
a nut and that he was just
trying to create an impression.
I'VE never spoke of the mat
ter again. But you can take
it from me, Mark, that none Of
us ever forgot it!
About eight years went by
and Moon met the fate that
Bella had prophesied for him.
He was knocked off the day
before he was to testify for
the Government in a liquor
case. When I heard of the
crime, Belas words to Moon
came back to me very forcibly:
YOU he said, will be shot
for talking too much
"Bela had been correct.
Five years passed-and Ham
was indicted for murder. He
killed the proprietor of a con.
fectionery store during a hold
up, 1t was his claim that the
gun had been accidentally dis
charged, and the fact that the
bullet hit d bone in the hip
and glanced upward, must have
had some weight with the
jurors. For Ham got life with
no hope of pardon
Socks Is Worried
Those last five words meant
almost as much to me as they
did to Ham For, you see,
Mark, the words of that gypsy
boy had begun to prey on my
mind. When Ham was being
tried, had Nightmares about
that kid. He had been right
about Moon-and he had said
that Ham would be electro
cuted in a penitentiary. More,
he had stated that I would
die on a heat. Lord, what
was all this?
Thus when Ham received
life imprisonment with no
hope of pardon, a great load
was lifted from my mind. It
meant very obviously that Bella
wasn't as hot as he might have
been. because unless Ham COM
mltted a murder in the pen, he
had a chance of living to a
ripe old age and wouldn't wind
up as a short circuit IN a 1900
volt line.
so what? So this: With that
mental menace lifted away from
my mind, I took boat rides
whenever possible. The thing

Moon, Ham and I looked at
one another-and started for
our bicycles in something of a
hurry. We bade Bella a hasty
good-by and pumped rapidly
until we were well out of sight.
AS we put the miles behind

J. Bond Smith Reported

j. Bond Smiths dramatic out

County Civic Federation was
termed "the dying gasp of a
fading boss" by friends Of DR..
Frederick L. Lewton, Takoma
Parks newly elected mayor.
Smith, at the federation meet

sign as delegate and corporation
counsel at the town council meet
ing Monday night in protest
against the Lewton campaign.
Lewton'S hackers centered their
attack on the interest Of Mayor
Ben. G.. Davis, defeated candi-
date, in county affairs. Smith is
considered the regular Demo
cratic leader Of Takoma Park.
With the loss of "his" mayor
and two councilmen, Smith Is be-
lieved by his opponents to have
been wounded so seriously that he
is now fleeing pell-mell from &C

however, view it as a demand for

BANANA CALLED
MED|CINEFOR
CHILDREN

NEW ORLEANS, May II
NIN.S.). - From natures vast
chemical laboratory the humble
banana has been selected as re-
markable medicine, capable OF
curing celiac disease, one Of the
most dreadful ailments to which
children are subject.
Use Of the fruit as q SPECIFIC
cure for the disease. which re-
tards growth and often results in
death or adult invalidism, was de-
scribed to the American Medical
Association today by DR.. Sidney
v. Haas, pediatrician, Of New
York.
Chemical Mystery
At the opening annual session
Of the section on disease Of chill
dren, DR.. Haas told Of his dis
covery that in bananas are carbo-
hydrates (starches and sugars)
which do not aggravate the
disease Of the youngsters unable
to digest and asSimilate starcheS

had been unable to determine the
exact chemical in the banana
which permits celiac disease suf-
ferers to obtain normal nourish-
ment from starch and sugar. But
he said nature, in producing the
fruit, had worked a chemical
miracle which will save the lives
or usefulness of many hundreds
Of children and adults.
Young Children Affected
Celiac disease usually attacks
children under five years Of age.
They may be only a few weeks
old when the symptoms set in.
They are unable to digest ordi-
nary milk or any foods contain

which represents the IL civic
areas of the county, elected him
as honorary member Of all COM
mittees. The federation also
voiced its high regard for Smith.
Though surprised over Smiths
sudden maneuver, Lewton forces
generally disparage 1t as having
any tactical value. Many Of
Smiths friends believe his pur-
pose would have been best served
had he remained quiet.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, June
II. = State Senator Emory L.
Coblentz, president of the Cen
tral Trust Company of Fred
erick, charged with accepting a
deposit the day before the bank
closed when he knew it was in
solvent, was subjected to rapid
fire crosS-examination by Prose
cutting Attorney James Clark
this morning. Coblentz fin
ished his main testimony yes
terday. The State pressed
many questions in connection
with the Washington real es-
tate deals of the bank.
Clark queried:
"You and Wardman went to-
gether, didn't your"
An affirmative answer brought
the question.
"YOu put in certain prop
erty and he did?"
Coblentz admitted they counted
the properties as 10 units, and
they were taken subject to under
lying mortgages, which, however,
Coblentz declared covered only
three.
"The first thing you did
then was put on a first and
refunding mortgage for 11,OOO,-
600, didn't you?"
Coblentz admitted this mort
gage was taken over by four
banking groups. Then a general
mortgage for $2,500,000 was put
on, but Coblentz explained that
the properties were much more
invalue than the total incum-
brances.
Then the prosecutor went on

to cover all.
