Almost all the work dow being

SO far as Milford is concerned
none of this relief money has been

DEMPSEY HELD
RESPONSIBLE in
CHICAGO ACTION

CHICAGO, March 18. (U.P)-The
shadow of OF Harry Wills, the one
time "black menace" of the heavy
weight division, today once more
was athwart the path of Jack
Dempsey.
Dempsey has been held RESPONSE
BILE for the expenses incurred by the
Chicago coliseum club in 1926 in
attempting to promote a Dempsey
Wills bout, according to a decision
handed down by the appellate
court. Attorney Ralph Rosen, rep
resenting the Coliseum club, esti-
mated expenses at 100000.
The decision reversed a judgment
in Dempseys favor in the circuit
court last year and remanded to
trial again the suit for $500,000
brought against Dempsey by the
Coliseum club. The club brought
suit on four counts: alleging loss of
profits from the scheduled fight;
seeking to recover expenses prior
to the signing of the contract; ex-
penses in prosecuting a successful
injunction suit in Indian which re-
strained Dempsey from meeting
Tunney, which order he violated;
and expenses between the signing
of the contract and the time Demp-
sey wired he did not plan to go
through with the Wills match.

at top form today and the odds
went down that he would win the
$4,000 Aqua Caliente handicap,
Sunday, the vests biggest race of
the year.
Phar Lap worked an easy mile
yesterday in las and his trainers
believed he is in the same condi-
ton which brought about many
Australian victories.
David J. Davis, his owner, placed
$4,000 yesterday at to l, after
which zeke Caress, betting COM
missioner, cut the odds to to |.
Tt appeared probable that very
small field would enter the race
Sunday, q factor much in Phar
Laps favor. There are 10 horses
considered virtually certain to be
at the post, although this may
vary by one or two Saturday when
the entry fees of $500 are payable.
Of these Spanish Play was an
equine question mark. Spanish
Play won at New Orleans last Sat-
urday, but has had hard trip to
the coast although he shows no
i'll effects.
Odds on 5panish Play were raised
to to l when Phar Lap odds were
lowered. Cabezo also was raised
from 2l8 to l to to /.
The original nominees for the
handicap numbered Sd when the
nominations closed December l.
After the added money was re-
duced from 100000 to $4,000,
IS entrants were withdrawn, and
they have since dwindled to in the
neighborhood of a dozen.
The winner will receive $4,000

tro field at o'clock tomorrow af-
ternoon to meet strong Calexico
team which pulled the earliest up
set of the season last week by de-
feating Brawley 3 to 2.
While CaleXico was winning last
weekend, Ell Centre was losing to
Calipatria, fact which shoves the
locals even farther down the lad
der, and at the same time makes
them even more determined to
trounce CaleXico tomorrow.
Hard workouts have been the lot
of the El Centro team this week,
driving toward more efficient
team play and harder hitting.
Soloman has been tried out in the
pitching berth, showing good form
for beginner.

find Fisher pitching, Price CATCH
ing, Edgar on first base, Elliott on
second base, Soloman at shortstop,
Paine on third base, Cunningham

NEW YORK, March 17.-There
comes a time in every mans life
when he's got to catch up with
his needlework. Consider me. I
am behind 373 stitches on my sofa
pillow, which depicts in the hu-
manistic manner a pine cone just
deprived of its young, coming over
the mountain like Kate Smith.
I am dropping stlUches in my
cubicle, which sets high over the
East river, when large noise
watts up to me. This noise has a
semblance of a huzzah, whoopla
a Murray and whoopee. I drop
my embroidery. I know what it h.
The Babe has signedl The Babe
and Colonel Jake have signed the
treaty of st. Petersburg.
Well, I am not one to get ex-
cited and poke my head out of the
window every time there is rain
bow looping over Brooklyn, but I
see down in Forty second street u
lot of people carrying on as if they
had just got married and were
getting rice thrown at them, or as
if this was the Fourth of July and
somebody had set off firecracker
under the marshal of the Fourth
of July parade.
Confronted with all this hilarity,
hurting of ticker tape, footing of
ferry boat horns, shouting and
bowling, I slammed down the
window and went back, heart
heavy, to my typewriter, and here
1 am.
They are celebrating because
Babe Ruth will be batting out of
right field when the Yankees cut
out this Florida grapefruit busi-
ness and get up here in New York
and start playing baseball.
But I am inclined to lay my
weary head down on my desk and
sigh for young person with
bulging biceps, named George Sell
kirk. Please don't get him mixed
up with Alexander Selkirk.
George has been tagging flies
for the Yanks while Mister Ruth
has been busy bustin' 'em down the
fairway, pitchin' 'em to the pin
and a-poutin' away at Colonel
Jake.
George Did Work
George Selkirk has been stand
ing out there in right field in st
Petersburg, sweating under that
Florida sun, and dreaming. Dreams
that said to him, George, you're
hot stuff. They sent you up there
to bat for Ruth, pal, and what did
you do? A triple, double and a
single. And a catch that Speaker
would have been proud of.
Just think how you'll feel when
you step out there in the stadium,
with 10000 folks a-lookin' on. And
you taking the place of the mighty
Babe.
George Selkirk probably doesn't
like to think about those dreams
now. The Babe is in right field.
George Selkirk, the Joizy rookie,
must have been crestfallen crit
ter when word came that Mister
Ruth had broken down, and in
these days of economic depression,
accepted $4,000 to chase balls and
bat them.
There are no objections from
this department about what
Mister Ruth receives in the way
of salary. He is not to blame for
emotional disturbances which oc-
cur in the breast of Mister George
Selkirk.
But anyway, feel sorry for the
man. I know what it is to have
your dreams go haywire. once

tralia left me 500 and a house

THE MURDER OF THE NIGHT CLUB LADY By And'
How Thatcher Colt Solved
a Spectacular Crime

Edgar Quires or his wife could
have concocted such a circur1-
stantial account. Manifestly the
brother was angry because his
wife had revealed Everett's
name. His intention of dealing
personally with the actor
seemed thoroughly realistic. But
Colt managed him deftly and
finally the brother was lean
ing back in the chair, his
ruddy face paling with the
knowledge Of the tragedy.
MY God-to think that
Christine is gone and I didn't
know!" he exclaimed in a
dazed voice.

Your Health
And Diet
By LOGAN CLENDEN1NG, M. D.

ny AOGAAS NAGANOEGNAANO' M' ~
There are several books
which can be recommended
for the guidance of the ex-
pectant mother.
"The Prospective Mother"
by DR.. j. Morris Slemons (pub-
lished by D. Appleton and
Company.
Approaching Motherhood"
by DR.. George L. Brodhead
published by Paul Hoeber, Inc0
Either of these books answers
the questions every woman
naturally asks during this pc
riod. They explain the nature
of the processes and the
changes the body is going
through in clear and sympa-
thetic and tactful fashion.
1t is perfectly proper for
a woman under such circum-
stances to want to understand
such things in order to help
her physician intelligently. But
most of the subjects are of so
intimate and personal a char
acter they cannot be properly
taken up in a newspaper ar
ticle read by young and old.
Therefore, it is best for the
mother to have one of these
books for herself.
The teeth during the period
of expectancy should be looked
after very carefully. A visit to
the dentist once every three
months is not too often. There
is an old saying. For every
child a TOOTH" but this is not
necessarily true in these mod
ern days. It is probable that
the demands on the mothers
body for calcium to build the
baby'S bones cause her teeth
to be attacked if there is not
enough calcium in the diet.
Another reason advanced for
the tendency of teeth to de-
cay at this time is the delicate
condition of the stomach re-
Sulting in the reorganization of
acid stomach juice into the
mouth and getting into small
tooth cavities promoting more
erosion.
Daily bathing is of even
more Importance than during
normal health. Elimination Of
waste products is very i'm.
portant, and the mothers body
must do it for two. The skin
is one of the organs of elimina-
ton, and to perform its func-
tions we'll should be kept eX.
ceptionally clean and fresh. A
tepid shower or tub rather
than an extremely hot or cold
bath is advised.

Advice to the
LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
An Authority on Problems Of
Love and Marriage

bAASA NAS~A A~eS
Are you going to get mar
ried?
Have you and he decided
that you've waited long enough,
that you couldn't possibly be
more in love than you already
are, and that marriage is after
all a sort of economy, with
butter and eggs and millinery
at their present delightful state
of cheapneSS.
My blessings on you. If you
are both young and strong,
are sure of each others love,
as, of course, you are, you are
quite right in taking the deci-
sive step.
Divorce When Necessary
But if it's an experiment
marriage that you have in
mind, I will confess marrying
apparently in good faith, but
really because you're bored and
restless, and if the secret posi-
bility of divorce is we'll lodged
in your brain even previous to
the sounding of the marriage
bells, my sympathy with you
is pretty much reduced.
Divorce when necessary, yes.
It has been a life-saving device
for many a suffering woman-
and man-and will, of course,
continue to be. But divorce
as a pastime leaves me rather
cold.
The Saner View
And there are beginning to
be signs that the country as a
whole is swinging around to
my old-fashioned point of view
and that divorce by wholesale
is diminishing.
Do you realize what the state
of things was only three years
ago? Divorces in this country
we're granted at the rate OF
one every two minutes. One
marriage in everv six ended in
divorce. And this directly af-
fected more than half mil
lion men, women and children
every year.

WASHINGTON FASHIONS

You would think, with all the
new ideas that have been
brought out in sheer crepes the
last few months, that the de-
signers couldn't think up any
thing more, but something new
has appeared, not new fabric,
but a new way of using two
fabrics together, so as to make
a more practical, and diff
ferent costume. This is the
frock of a sheer printed ma
terial with a street length skirt,
worn with little taffeta jacket.
Such combination is not
only new and unusual, but adds
greatly to possibilities for ex-
pansion for your wardrobe.
Dining and Dancing
The dresses have a capelet,
or a tiny sleeve, so that they
are not entirely formal, are
made medium low in the back
and front, and of sheer, formal
looking chiffon or other crepe.
Worn at dinner table without
the jacket, they look like
typical sheer dinner dress.
Worn for dancing on a roof,
they look like a dance frock
with a skirt a bit shorter than
last year. Put the jacket on,
and you increase the formal
look, for a taffeta jacket is al
ways rather dresSy in appear
ance. But because the dress
is street length, which after
all isn't so very short this year,
it doesn't look odd on the
street if you wear it to the
movies, or to a downtown
restaurant for dinner.
Taffeta On FrOck
A good example is the dress
we have Sketched today. 1t is
of a sheer print combining
white, chartreuSe and brown,
with little tiny cap sleeves, and
a medium low decolletage, back
and front. 1t has taffeta belt
and flowers to match the jacket,
which is brown with the
sash lined with chartreuse. 1t
is medium-priced, and because
of its versatility, will easily
repay you for giving it a place
in your wardrobe.
For the name of the store
where you can find this dress,
or for help with your fashion
problems, write Miss Laville, en-
closing a seIf.addressed, stamped
envelope, or call District $3.50,
extension 199.

CHAPTER XIII

"Was as Mrs. Quires with you
all this time?" asked Dough
erty softly.
81 was" replied Mrs. Quires,
in a voice cool, remote, and
10y with disdain.
"I am waiting" snapped Ed.
gar Quires, jingling keys and
silver impatiently, "for your ex-
PLANTATION"
From that" returned d
Thatcher Colt, Il assume that
you have not read the newspa-
pers."
Mo- had a headache this
morning and did not care about
reading them"
Then I have the very sad
duty to inform you that your
sister Christine is dead"
The announcement seemed to
have no effect whatever upon
Edgar Quires. His wife covered
her face with her hands, and
her shoulders heaved and shud-
dered, but Edgar Quires sat bolt
upright, straight as a tree, and
his eyes, fixed on Thatcher
Colt, remained blank.
Dead" he repeated in a
calm voice. THAT is impossible.
You must have made a mistake
In identities!"
Christine Quires is dead" re-
peated Colt inexorably. "She
was murdered"
At the last word, Edgar Quires
seemed to be galvanized into ac-
ton. His hands gripping the
edge of the desk, he stood up,
bent over, bringing his face close
to Colts, and barring long,
straight white teeth like fangs
in the jaws of a wolf.
Knows the Slayer
'Murdered!" he cried. Chris
tine murdered! How? What do
mean? Murdered! Then I know
who killed her!"
Colt, too, had risen to his feet.
He put one hand calmly on the
brothers shoulder.
Name him!"
Name him! I'll kill him! I'll
kill him with slow torture"
ragged Edgar Quires. He was not
loud nor violent; but it was a
terrible thing to be a witness of
this strong mans fury. It was
o fury that spoke in low and
awful tones, the more terrible
because one felt it was under
q too complete mastery; that
he meant what he said and
would carry out his threats.
Name the man." repeated
Colt severely. "It is our business
to find him-and the laws bust
ness to try and to punish"
Mrs. Quires lifted up her tear
stained face.
IT will tell you," she cried,
in a broken voice. 1T is an
actor, about whom Christine
had found out unspeakable
things. His name is Guy
Everett. Find him and you will
have her murderer!"
It did not seem plausible that
