Mans Liberty Hangs
On Hound Dogs
Value

LURAY, Va, March 28.-The
question of how much a hound
dawg" is worth will be argued
before the Page County Court
this week, with the result deter
mining whether or not the man
who stole the dog goes to prison
or merely pays a fine for petit
larceny.
Experts in dog values testified
pro and con at the former
court term. when Carey Shenk,
80, was tried on a charge Of
stealing "a fox hound without
peer" from DR.. G.. H. Long of
Luray. Shenk was fined $25
after the puzzled jury cons1d-
cred the dogs value under $50.
Shenk was granted a new
trial, and DR.. Long will try to
prove $50, nor anything like
that sum, wouldn't buy his dog,
and if the jury agrees with him.

FREED
Of KIDNAPPING
CHARGE
Maryland Grand Jury Refuses
to Indict Youth Who
Wed Girl

Mr.. and Mrs. Myer Tretick
are in Washington, after ap-
pearing in Leonardtown court
on March 21, to tell their
friends here that a charge of
kidnapping placed against Tret-
/ ick has been dismissed.
The charge. they say, grew out
of family disagreements follow
ing the divorce of Mrs. Tretick's
father and mother. Mrs. Tretick,
formerly Jean Robrecht, made
her home with her father in
Mechanicsville, Md, for some
years after the divorce, but about
three years ago came to Wash
ington to visit her mother and
did not return.
Last fall, she said, her father
had met her in Washington
hotel and asked her to take
ride with him. She did so, and
he took her to Mechanicsville,
though she insisted she didn't
want to go.
Later, she sent word to Tretick,
then her fiance, who, with his
brother, Bernard, and the girls
mother, went to Mechanicsville
and took her away. A charge of
kidnapping was made against him
and shortly afterward Tretick
and Miss Robrecht were married
at Frederick, Md.
Tretick, as the processes of the
law continued, was held in $4,000
bond in the alleged kidnapping
case,
The dismissal of the charge and
the return Of the bride and bride
groom to their home at 1909
Georgia Ave. N. w. followed.

WASHINGTON FASHIONS

Every woman who cares about
her appearance, whether she be
slim or not. must wear her
clothes over a good foundation
garment this year. The lines of
the clothes demand it, and are
relentless in exposing your bad
points if you are not well
girdled. Waistlines climb ever
higher, revealing every pound Of
flesh about your lower ribs.
Hips must be simmer than ever,
or at least must have their
flesh held firm and smooth,
even if you can't do away with
your pounds. Your diaphragm
must be conspicuous by its
modesty.
Slim Waist Essential
After two or three years Of
slim lines and high waists, most
of our figures are already well
disciplined. All we have to do
is wear a lightweight girdle that
controls an occasional bulge,
and holds the figure more firm.
But some of us still need to do
missionary work in spots, or per-
haps all over. The best thing
for them to do is go to a good
corSetiere and be fitted into a
garment that will gradually
diminish their superfluous
pounds, while it moulds the fig
ure at the same time. And it
can be done. Just remember
that this year your tummy must
be flat; you must have no flesh
about your waiStline, and your
bust must have an uplifted
look. If your figure doesn't
conform to these special fall
rules, then perhaps any trouble
with your clothes is not their
fault, but your own.
For Larger Woman
We've sketched a one-piece
garment that will do wonder
full things for a larger woman.
It is of imported elastic and
brocade, with inner diaphragm
control to do away with your
tummy. The lace bandeau has
the uplift cutting, and will hold
your bust firmly in place. It
is cut low enough in the. back
to wear it with an evening
gown, for a larger woman would
not wear a gown cut extremely
low, as it shows too much flesh
in the back. This marvellous
model is priced according to the
material it is made of.
Takes Away Flesh
For any person with too
much flesh about the waist,
but very little problem other.

tering was not due to any dis
ease of the nerves or muscles Of
his speaking apparatus.
He describes very clearly the
adaptations he made to his dis
ability. Knowing that attempts
to enter into conversation when
in a group of people would lead
to acute embarrassment, he
adopted a technique" of ap-
pearing to be very much inter
ested in what others said. He
says it made him qquite popu-
lara hint to many of us.
Then he found he could man
age TO burst out with a terse
phrase occasionally, and if he
made it explosive enough there
was little stutter in it.
This attitude, his whole per-
sonality, the apparent queer
ness" the shyness. as he ex-
plains very sensibly. were the
result of his suffering, not the
cause of it. as the psyche
analysts maintain.

good mentality. There is not

Objects to the ''Pick-U Up" Route
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'd really like to know q
young man who has been try
ing to become acquainted with
me via the pickup" route, al
though I know one of his boy
friends who would be quite
capable Of introducing us. The
young man knows I am con-
SciouS Of his attentions, that
I haven't actually snubbed
him, and that I dislike his
method Of getting acquainted:
but still he doesn't use his
head.
Why do men persist in trying
to pickup" a girl when they
know perfectly that an introd-
duction is in order? Do you sup
pose he feels I am not interested
when I ignore his crude meth
DDS, although he doesn't seem
to have given up hope?
CAS-.
The real reason back of the
pickup" route, instead of the
regular introduction, is because
it relieves men of all future re-
SponSibility. What they "pick-
UP" they can drop without a
qualm. Some years ago, there
was q very famous breach-of
promise case tried in the New
York courts. While the woman
had substantial claims against
the man, the deciding factor in
the minds of the jurors seems
to have been that he picked
her up" on the street, and that
she was the type that could be
met in this informal fashion.
She lost the suit.

Suppose A declines to win

Another Diamond will be led

Then he must win the trick,

the second Diamond trick, in
stead of the first trick of that
suit, he must lead back either
a Diamond or a Heart. Lead
ing back the Diamond will en-
able A to win a Heart trick.
Leading back a Heart will en-
able the declaring side to avoid
loss Of any Hearts, and the
declarer's Ace will pick up AS
last Diamond, giving him five

feat a contract Of four-odd at
