is becoming more fashionable.
open House" on New Years day
was one Of the lovely old customs
nearly lost sight Of On those days
calls were exchanged, the greetings
of the season offered, and social
intercourse enjoyed over the tea
cups. Rev. Charles Stoneburner
and Rev. David Markle of the local
Methodist Episcopal churches re-
vived this custom this year, when
they invited their members and
friends to call on New Years day.
At the McConnelsVille parsonage
Rev. Stoneburner, Mrs. Stoneburn-
er, Tony and Jane Anne, greeted a
number of guests who called in
friendly fashion, and at the Malta
parsonage, Rev. Markle and wife
received a number of members and
friends of the church. Light re-
freshments were served at both
places, and the affairs were alto
gether delightful, the gloom of the
weather outside accentuating the
cheer and fellowship on the inside.

Sunday week ago this place was
honored with a visit from "Billie''
Ireland, nationally famous cartoon
ist of the Columbus Dispatch, and
author of "The Passing Show"
While here he got several "Inspira-
tions' as evidenced by his "Passing
Show" in last Sundays Dispatch.
He sketched the Civil war soldiers
monument in the center of the
square, concerning which he says:
''MeConnelsville on the Muskingum
river has the best memorial to Civil
war soldiers in any of the county
seats in Ohio. We are all familiar
with the stereotyped figures on the
Civil war soldiers monuments over
the state. This figure has life, ac
ton, and real feeling in it, Bill
Stewart caught the artists eye, and
he says "Last Sunday when we
crossed the bridge from McConnels-
vile to Malta, traffic was fast and
thick-but We saw Bill Stewart go
right through it on his mule" Pic
tuIeu was IHe mule ana flder. Again
Ireland says Love & Bragg are
still running a filling station in Nc
Connelsville, but we don't see how
they get away with it, Another

cut down three rat proof corn cribs
and made tourists camps out Of

4 R.O.K
a DAY.
BY BRUCE CATION

MAYBE there's something a trifle
1VI ghoulish about the current
eagerness to read Of old-time MUIR
ders, executions and criminal trials;
but a lot Of people Gncluding this
revieWer) seem to like that sort of
thing, and if you're one of that
number, you hardly can do better
than get the new edition Of 1.-THE
Newgate Calendar" which Putnams
is issuing at $3.50
The book, as you probably have
heard, originally was printed up
ward of a century ago.
1t is a kind Of omnibus volume,
describing in quaint, moralistic Ian
guage a few hundred of old Eng
lands most notorious criminal cases.
Several things are apt to occur to
you as you read the book First,
you will be struck by the enormous
mine of material that lies here
ready for the writer of modern
mystery stories.
There are many ways Of commit
ting murder, but practically all of
them seem to be covered in this
book.
Second, you can't help being i'm
pressed by the seeming callousneSS,
not to say downright bloodthirsti-
ness, of our ancestors.
Hangings, drawing and-quarter-
ings, burnings, whippings-evidently
they were commonplace not so long
ago, and the criminals of the old
days, in some cases, make a Chicago
gorilla look meek and mild by COM
parison.
Best Of all, perhaps, is the lofty
moral tone in which the book is
written.
In an age that takes its crimes
straight, 1t Is refreshing to find a
writer to whom all crimes are "hor-
rid" and all criminals Infamous"

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

THE air was sharp and glowing.
Il Nesting at Steve's side, warm
in her wooden sport suit, Mona con-
sidered the world about her.
On either side in the Fifth ave-
nue. traffic we're other expensive
motor cars. The women in those
cars were dressed beautifully. The
men looked confident, distinguished.
No suggestion of poverty or hard
ship here. Nothing of the life
Mona herself had known.
Steve had pulled out of that life.
Lottie was pulling out, too. Her
employer had raised her salary three
times in the face of offers from
competitors.
And Mona was determined to pull
away from Third avenue poverty.
1t had been Lottie who had found
the blue sport dress Mona wore to-
day. Get it," she advised. Its a
bargain and a real buy!"
Mona had bought it. Girls in the
stratum Of society to which she as
pired bought their sport suits by
the dozen. For Mona 1t took schem-
ing and saving to buy one.
But there isn't a debutante who'd
look as much queen in that out
fit as you do" Lottie had said
warmly.
At Fifty-ffth street Steve halted
the car to wait for Lottie. Twenty
minutes passed before she appeared.
Then indeed she was a vision,

lie utility for the purpose of pur-
chase by the municipality.
Under the original section the city
of indianapolis, for example, could
as a result of gouging by the water
company, condemn it by legal action
and then purchase the property at
price set by court, enabling In
dianapolis to join the ranks of the
cities owning the most important of
all human necessities.
A third amendment would make
the city pay to itself, county and
state taxes on the utility it owns
until all bonds are redeemed. This
is so that the price of the electricity,
water or gas would be forced to the
same high level of the private COM
pany, thus doing away with ex-
pected benefits.
Senator Hoffman ayers that SEN
ators Charles Strey, Wabash, and
William Hoadley, Bloomington,
authors of Senate Bill Alt, which
passed that body, and identical
with House Bill 682, acquiesced to
the amendments, which so emaScu-
late the bill that it isn't worth the
paper on which it is printed,
But Senator Hoffman and the
utility lobbyists are reckoning with
out their host, for they forget that
the sincere advocates of public
ownership are watching every move.
They also have apparently for
gotten that Senate Bill AIT, dupli-
cate of House Bill 682, is pending in
the house, after winning through
the senate.
If the representatives pass Senate
Bill AIT without amendments, it goes
direct to Governor Harry G. Leslie
for action.
But wait a minute-one of the
utility lobbyists hasn't forgotten
that, for only the other day he was
preparing a number Of amendments
identical with those adopted in the
senate and perhaps he will find
representative complaisant enough
to introduce them.
That is, if he isn't tossed out on
first base by vigilant friends of pub
lie ownership.
But the utility men are trying
hard, thus following the saying:
That for ways that are dark, ETC."
