 Washington, Dec 14.--(UP)-- Mrs Dolly Gam and Mrs Alice Roosevelt Longworth seem to have set definite seal of peace on their social feud which was the talk of the town in the early days Of the Hoover administration.
 Mrs Longworth was c guest last night at dinner which Vice. President Curtis gave for President and Mrs Hoover. Mrs Gam, sis- ter of the vice. president, was hig official hostess at the dinner.
 The feud between the two in- yolvcd the question of which was entitled to the more important place at official dinner tables. Mrs .Longworth. as the wife of the speaker of the house, contended she 0utrnnked Mrs Gam, the vice. presidents hostess. Mrs Gam was equally insistent that the place of honor was hers.
 After LoDgworth's death, the for mer Alice Roosevelt had no of- ficial rank and the question be- came purely academic.
 To-day all Washington society agreed that the fact that Mrs Longworth was invited to tho din. ner and accepted could mean but one thing-that they had decided to banish any lingering resent ment.

 Mrs Connor fretted and fumed. Yesterday she went to court. Jus- tice Mitchell may ordered the de- partment of welfare to show cause Friday before Justice Norton why Mrs Connor should not be allowed to have the child.
 The department protested the show cause order. It said that should Mrs Connor adopt the baby the Jews would be a choice of foundlings which Catholics and Protestants do not enjoy, and that 1t would upset "a system that has worked very we'll"
 The department explained that when the religious rule first went into effect, the first baby was Cath olic, the second . Prdtestant, and the third, 6 Jew. Rabbis were re- Iuctant to receive negro babies into tho Hebrew faith and finally asked that they be assigned infants of only indlsputable Jewish origin.
 The foundlings thus given q re- ligion are sent to Catholic and Protestant welfare organizations that offer them for adoption.
 Mrs Connor frantically explained that her newly aroused mother love wouldn't allow her to sleep nights.
 Tt is a matter of discrimination. !" she walled, tears in her eyes, "sup- pose no Catholic foster mother bobs up to adopt this baby? It is better in the eyes of the law that she should be raised an orphan in an unfccling institution than be turned over to me, when I am dying to have her? l who can give her fine home, love, education, everything ?"

Sensible Way to
Lose Fat

Start taking <Kruschen Salts to-
day-that's the common sense, safe,
harmless way to reduce.
This is what they do-they clean
out the impurities in your blood by
keeping the bowels, kidneys and
liver in splendid working shape and
fill you with vigor and tireless
energy you'd most forgotten had ex-
listed.
As a result, instead of planting YOUR
self in an easy chair every free mo-
ment and letting fabby fat accumulate
you feel an urge for activity that keeps
you moving around doing the things
you've always wanted to do and needed
to do to keep you in good condition.
BE careful of the foods you eat-go
light on fatty meats and pastry-then
watch the pounds slide off!
Take one half teaspoon in a glass Of
hot water to morrow morning and
every m0rning-and il they don't
change your whole idea about reduce
ing, go back and get the small price
you paid for them. Get a bottle Of

it's just as dizzy as the other two.
Search still is being made for In

day five youths, who were among
the curious at the cemetery on
Monday night, tell this story.
They we're near Thirty eighth
street and Northwestern avenue,
where the ghost is supposed to have
been seen in the last two weeks.
Peering into the darkness they saw
not a ghost but man waving his
arms frantically.
They rushed TO the scene, hop
ing he was signaling for aid in
catching the ghost.
Help Capture Postum
But it wasn't the case. The man
had his eye on a possum. and with
the quintet's aid staged the capture.
The boys offer it to the public as
another link in possible solution of
the tale.
The boys were Charles and Fred
rick Harris. 227 Hiawatha street;

LONDON. Oct. 1S.-with the re-
tirement from public Office today OF
Sir Henry Fielding Dickens, Lon
don's famous Old Bailey loses one
of the most deeply respected judges
it has ever had.
Sir Henry is the only surviving
-child of Charles Dickens. He is SO,
and has been connected with the
Old Bailey for fifteen years as COM
mon sergeant, an important office
which he has discharged with mix
ture of humor, lsternness, tolerance
and unfaiing courtesy.
In the pages of Charles Dickens
books, Buzfuz, Sidney Carton, Wick
field and Dobson and Fogg all re-
mind readers that the author held
little regard for the profession of
law.

That his sixth son made such a
thorough success of a legal career
could not, however, have disappoint-
ed Dickens. He lived only long
enough to see the boy begin his ca
reer with brilliant academic sue
cesses at Cambridge.
Sir Henry Dickens recollections
Of his legal life on the verge Of his
retirement today, extremely are di-
verse. AS a discerning and sympa-
thetic judge he has peered straight
intoethe heart of a hundred trag-
edies.
Among the most vivid Of Sir
Henry's legal memories surely must
be that once he prosecuted a case
which his son defended.
Once he was counsel in a pro-
ceeding in which the chief witness
was a man named Pickwick-on
Of the thinnest men ever to step
into the witness box.
Born in 1S49
And once Sir Henry heard de-
ranged prisoner shout at him: ''I
know you, Mr.. Dickens. Your
father was a gentleman and wrote
some good books. But you're not

{ The business of being his fathers
son has, on the whole, been more
pleasant than unpleasant, more ed
vantageous than not. Dickens adj
ynitS that his fathers fame kept
him out of literature.
Rather than be a lesser light in
the field of letters, he went to the
law where he wouldn't have to
compete with Charles Dickens
reputation.

time his father was writing David
