Her answer was the same when detectives asked her if she knew what her. husband meant when he wrote of "the comedy of last night"
 "I cant understand why this ter rible thing should have happened to us," Miss Harlow cried. "As for the note left by Paul, I have no idea what it means. This fright full wrong, he apparently believed he had done me is all mystery. can't imagine what it means.
 There was nothing between us that I can think of that would have caused him to do this"
 Miss Harlow then retold her story of her last meeting with Bern. She said she stayed at her mothers home Saturday night because she had worked late at the studio. On Sunday, she said, she worked most of the day, then drove to the Benedict canyon home where she hahd lived with Bern since their marriage on July 2. She and Bern talked about a dinner party that night at Mrs Bello's home. She left in her car for her mothers residence.
 Paul was to follow but he did HOL dppCdi, GhC ohtus hSlC~ phoned to him and he begged off, saying he was tired. He told me to stay all night with my mother. That was the last time we ever spoke"
 Miss Harlow was interviewed by Condaffer and Ryan in the pres ence of Louis B. Mayer, Meyer Sil- verberg. Mayors attorney, Bello and Dr Harold B. Barnard, one of her physicians.
 The detectives said later they be- lieved 1t doubtful that Miss Har- lows condition will permit her to obey a subpoena calling her as q witness at an inquest over Bern's body set for Thursday.
 Bern's body was discovered by John Carmichael, his butler. at 11:45 a. m. on Monday. For more than two hours police were not informed.
 Inspector of Detectives David Davidson said he intended to press the investigator to learn what happened in the house before the first officers arrived.
 H. A. Garrison, negro chauffeur, who drove Bern home from the M-G-M studios on Saturday night before the suicide, said Bern had talked to him of death, asking him how he would kill himself if he decided to do so.
 Bern left no will so far as known by his attorney, R. D. Knicker- brocker, the latetr said to-day. If no such document is found, his widow, Jean Harlow, will receive half of his estate and the other half will go to his blood relatives.
 County tax records disclosed that his taxable estate consisted of two houses, II unimproved lots, an automobile, furniture, radio and lesser items.
 Bern was reported to have lost , heavily in the stock market in 1929 and to have expended large sums in philanthropy. It was indi- cated that his estate would not be large.

 Moscow, Sept 7.--The Soviet regime frankly desires recognition by America and makes no effort ito conceal it.
 Failing recognition, Russia would like some preliminary arrangement leading to exchange of trade be- tween the two countries. It is a prevalent belief here that friend slier relations with the United States would strengthen the Soviet's posi- ton, both commercially and poli- tically. Developments in the Far East have fortified that belief.
 Russia's candid desire for formal contacts of some type and ultt- smately full recognition. is based on two simple premises:
 First, that it wuold open the American money market to Soviet industry and incidentally strength en Soviet credit facilities through out the world.
 Secondly, that it would stave off any war, which Moscow is so anxious to avoid. and in particu- lar act as brake upon possible Japan ambitions in the Far East.
 Unofficially, the writer has dis cussed Soviet-American relations with many Russians in a position

DESIGN FOR HOOKED RUGS.

through length of carpet binding tackled
to the frame for this purpose.
Hold the strand to be hooked in the
left hand and under the place where
the loop is to be taken. With the hook
held in the right hand over the rug
medium, push the hook down through
the foundation, catch the medium on
the hook and draw very short loop
of it to the top surface. Continue this
method of work, changing the colored
strand to suit the necessities Of the
design, until the entire upper surface
Of the foundation is covered with these
wee loops in accordance with the pat
tern. The loop must be sufficiently
close to remain firmly in place.
The rug is then taken from the
frame. the edges bound or turned back
and felled to the back of the rug. If
the surface is clipped this is done be-
fore the rug is taken from its frame.
The very simplicity of the work per
mits of personal eccentricities which
are desirable These peculiarities are
too varied to more than touch upon,
The chief one is the rhythm Of the
stitches.
A design for a circular rug or a
chair seat can be had by sending in
10 cents and a self addressed and
stamped envelope with a request di-
rected to Lydia lie Baron walker care

The work is entirely that known as
free-hand in its design character.
This means that a pattern is not con-
fined within the limits of any weaving
or textile restrictions. While this adds
interest for the worker, it may or may
not add beauty to the rug. The very
limitations Of crafts are responsible for
their beauty to a large degree. The
woman who would make a hooked rug
must be very careful to use a good
design, or herself be a sufficiently good
draughtSman to make her own designs
worthy, if she is to succeed in making
rugs of artistic excellence.
The equipment for hooked rugCraft

"I only wish" writes a correspondent,
"that YOU could have a page in the
paper. for the lay public surely needs
training in the ways Of health.
I came across Control Of HiCCOugn with
Carbon Dioxide by a Simple Rebreath-
ing Method. by DR.. Lewis A. Golden,
IN New England Medical Journal, June
4, 1881"
An ordinary paper bag of medium
size, such as is used by shopkeepers, is
placed on the patients face and held so
that it tightly inCloSeS the mouth and
nose The patient is instructed to
breathe into the bag. As the available
oxygen is breathed from the bag it is
replaced by carbon diOXide eXhaled by
the patient The carbon dlOXlde aCcu-
mulateS so that in several minutes the
saturatiOn of carbon 0iOXicp is enough
to produce therapeutic effect In SIX
cases treated BY this simple means the
hicCOugh was checked in one case in
four minutes after it had persisted for
48 hours. In four Of the others the hic-
cough had been of shorter duration, but
all but one were relieved in three to six
minutes In one case there was relief,
but the hiccoughing started again after
several hours, and the patient put on
the bag again and relieved himself at
home.
The idea is simple and quite harm
less, and it is well worth trial in any
case Of intractable hiccoughS. Inhala-
tions OF carbon dioxide gas, mixed with
air or with oxygen, from an inhalator
bag. have been used with success in the
treatment Of a large number Of cases
Of prolonged hiccoughs. Usually mix
ture Of 10 per cent carbon diOXide with
90 per cent air or oxygen is uS~.
The proportion of carbon diOXide nat
lrallv present in the air is normally so
small a fraction of l per cent that it is
negligible. In the outgoing breath the
proportion of carbon oxide increases to
approximately per cent, so that by
repeated rebreathing Of the air in the
paper bag most Of the oxygen would be
absorbed by the lungs and replaced by
carbon dioXide. So it is probable that
the concentration Of carbon diOXide in
the bag would rise to 10 per cent after
= minute or more of rebreathing.

finances was as necessary as working
on entertaining or child care or any
other family activity.
One phase Of the newer thought In
food budgeting interested Nancy. Now
adagS the food specialists and econ
omists divided the food dollar into
fifths. They planned the spending in
this fashion:
One-ffth Of the food money was to
be spent for milk one fifth for cereals.
breads, rice, Tacaroni and other starchy
foods; One-fitth for meats, fish, eggs,
cheese and those well known vegetables
peas, beans and lentils. Ore-ffth for
fruits-Canned, dried and fresh-and
vegetables; and the last fifth for fats
and sugars
The food specialists told her that
such a division Of the dollar would give
the right proportion of the various foods
to keep the family well and fiourishing
Nancy checked her months food bills
and found she was not spending quite
enough for milk. and little too much
for meats. But increasing the use of
cheese as a laV0ring for blend foods
such as creamy baked rice and maca-
rOni gave her acceptable table dishes
to take the place occasionally of meat,
and that was that.

Solids and Milk.

Solid foods are added to the child's
diet during the first year in order to
supply additional nouriShment. This
does not mean that the mother should
reduce the amount Of milk given the
child when these foods are added but
she should give the additional foods
and the milk, also.
Both foods and milk should be
served at the same meal It is all
wrong to give cereal at one hour and
milk the next. Cereal and milk con-
stitute one meal vegetables and mill;
another meal. In order to keep a reg
ular interval OF four hours between
