candies, anyone may have success If care is taken in the cooking and cooling.
 Pendant
 Take two and one-haH pounds of sugar, one and one-half cup fuls of hot water and one-fourth of a teaspoonful of cream of tar ter. If the latter is not at hand use two tablespoonfuls-or three is better-of light corn syrup; this insures the smoothness or the pro- duct when done. Stir until the sugar is well dissolved and place over the fire. Boil without stirring until when a drop is placed in cold water it makes a soft, waxy ball that will be soft but keep it's shape. This degree is 238 Foher- heit. After boiling for few min utes sugar will adhere to the sides Of the kettle; this should be wash ed down with small swab dipped into cold water, or after becoming expert, one may dip the hands into cold water and quickly wash off the grains. When the soft ball stage is reached pour the boiling mixture out on a lightly buttered platter or marble slab Begin to roll it up at the edges as soon as it is cool, work with wooden spoon until it is formed into loaf, then kneed with the hands until it is white and smooth. Put into a bowl, cover with waxed paper and set away in cool place for at least 24 hours.
 Cream Mints
 Melt the plain white fondant over water, flavor with few drops Of peppermint, or any flavor such as wintergreen, clove, cinnamon ol orange, and color any tint desired Drop from the tip of a teaspoon on oiled paper. Small sized gen pans may be used to mold lthe hints if one wishes to take the trouble.

 Who the deuce?" Jack slit the envelope, glanced over it and at once thrust it into his pocket. Why waste time reading your let ters when I've got you--but it was sure good of you to have Mary write me"

UNEXPECTED SURPRISES

Dorothy sat huddled disconso- lately in the big chair before the grate fire. To have tonsils out just before Christmas was bad enough, but to be waiting for a sweetheart and to know that there was a forwarded letter in another girls handwriting, also awaiting him was much worse.

CHRISTMAS CANDIES

The week before Christmas IS the time we like best for making inc candies that will keep well for the holiday time. So many of the o,d-fashioned candies are almost forgotten; it is well at this season to take time to prepare a few and let the youngsters help. One may prepare bowl of fondant and keep it for weeks in the ice box and from time to time make few delightful bonbons or patties TOT any occasion.

LOS ANGELES. Aug. GIN.
SO.-A new kind of an Olympic
Games record was on the way to
being established today-a record
for attendance that may set a
high mark for sports carnivals

Already more than 100000 per-

four different Olympic events
the opening ceremony, which
drew 10000; the Sunday track
and field contests, $4,000; and
the weight lifting and fencing

The attendance record of both
the 1924 games in Paris and

was around the 100000 mark
and the present games still have
nearly two weeks to run. All
swimming programs are already

2FIREMEN DIE
IN GAS BLAST

NEW YORK. Aug. l GN.SO
Two firemen were killed today
and more than a score of others
injured when a wall-ripping ex-
plosion followed a fire in the sub
basement of the Ritz Towers,
Fifty-seventh Street and Park
Avenue.
The blast is thought to have
been caused by an accumulation
of gases suddenly fired by a back
draft.
Jewels and silverware valued at
$4,000 were blown into Park
Avenue by the blast, which de-
molished the show case and front
of the Thomas kirkpatrick, Inc,
jewelry shop. Police aided cut
and bl ding clerks to recover
valuables scattered about the side
walks and street.
Practically every store on the
ground floor of the building was
damaged. The Doubleday-Doran
bookShop, located over the place
where the blast occurred, was
completely demolished.

Badger Game PraCtiCed

NEW YORK, Aug. | G.N.SO.
"a crime syndicate. accused of
adding to its counterfeiting
activities a badger game of
blackmailing high Washington
officials, was ended today.
It's head, nationally sought
murderer of many aliases, killed
his attractive blonde companion
who for months posed as his
wife and then committed suicide
in an uptown flat Uttered with
freshly printed counterfeit Treas
ury bills and containing print
ing press.
PoIiceman's Killer
He was Robert Conroy, Or San
born, wanted, police said, tor the
murder of Patrolman George
Zientara, Toledo, Ohio, during a
100000 mail truck robbery four
years ago. Los Angeles authori-
ties also tried to apprehend him
on still another killing charge.
He was known there as Robert
Delroy.
It was believed Conroy killed
the woman and ended his own
life in fear of an imminent raid.
Photographs on Wall
On the walls of the flat were
photographs of Conroys blonde
companion, mostly in Semi-un-
dress, in compromising positions
with different men. Secret Ser
vice agents believed these pic
lures, obviously taken without
the knowledge of the men in,
volved, were used by the couple
in their blackmail plots.
In trunk was found note
book containing the names of
numerous prominent persons, in.
Guiding. according to one opera
tive, the names of two United
States senators.

of the Secret Service bureau in

peared.
Washington hotel labels, a set
of Maryland license plates for an
automobile, and the rate card of
a New York hotel we're found in

Police of Minneapolis, St. Paul,
Kansas City. and Omaha were
asked for records on the counter
feiter, whose bogus bills were
said by authorities to have been
"crackerjack jobs" of their kind.

interested in details concerning
Conroy, suspecting he may be a
man sought by Scotland Yard
for passing fraudulent English
bank bills in Canada and Africa.

BABY GASSED BY TROOPS NEAR DEATH
Capital Officials Targets In Blacknail
Pay the Bonus

The Washington Times,
along with other Hearst
newspapers, believes that
veterans of the World
War should receive imme-
diate payment in full of
their adjusted compensa-
ton.
At the time of the en-
actment of the bonus legis-
lation, it was considered
wise to withhold part of
the amount for payment
later, on the theory that
the veterans would be in
greater need as they grew
older.
Economic conditions, un-
foreseen then, have. re-
duced many of these vet
erans to poverty and near
starvation. They are job
less and hungry. They
could not be in greater
need.
A Government grateful
for the valiant service they
rendered in a time of ma
tional emergency should
lend them help in their
period of hardship and
suffering. &
