DeWolf Hopper, who recently
reached the age of seventytive years,
in his 81 years on the stage has missed
but two performances. He failed to
appear for two consecutive days eight
years ago. He might not nave missed
them, he explained, as he sat In MS
favorite chair at the Lambs club, but
his physician thought he had pneu-
monia. He made his first stage ap-
pearance the night of November 4,
1878, as Talbot Champney in the Cri-
terion Comedy company's production
of "Our Boys" He was the hacker
of the company. His favorite part OF
the many he has played was Old Bill
in "The Better OLE" in which he ap-
peared during the war. His most sue
cessful play was the. comic opera
Wang" in which he starred during
the '9Os. Four years ago, he played to
the largest house in his career. He
was the star in musical spectacle,
which caused $1,000 people to crowd
into the Atlantic City auditorium.

ID as one of the big four of college
sports, the others being baseball, foot
ball and track Affording opportunity
for the exercise of swiftness Of
thought, judgment, vision and body, 1t
is no wonder that it has worked its
way even into high schools and col
leges Of the feminine persuasions, and
there are few women who have not
at some time or another been in shorts
learning the "criss-cross" and other
'passes" that make basketball game
so interesting and exciting to watch,
as well as to play.
The game was invented at the Y.
M. @. A. college at Springfield, Mass,
about forty years ago. DR.. Luther 81.
Gulick, later general director of phys
zeal education in New York public
schools, was then teacher in this
college. In one of his lectures, he
sketched the conditions on which q
new game of ball could be invented.
One of his students, James Naismith,
took these suggestions and worked
them out in detail into the rules and
regulations of the game Of basketball
as we know 1t today.

H 7: (
Mary Jenison
LOUISE M. COMSTOCK

a WHITE woman, stolen from the
riage to white man only to become
the willing bride of an Indian brave:
that was Mary Jemison, the white
Squaw OF the Genesee." one or the
strangest and most romantic of all
American heroines. Some have it that
she actually did return to her own
people late in life. but the fact that
she died on the Buffalo Greek Indian
reservation disputes that; others main
tain she refused to return because her
people would not accept also her half
breed son; many claim she became
reconciled to her red captors and their
mode Of life and preferred it. Ger

fringed Indian garments. wearing her
hair in two long braids and carrying
her baby representation on her back
that the sculptor has prepared for her
memorial in Letchworth park. on the
Genesee river in New York. there Is
freedom. confidence. even peace.
1t was in 1853, during the French
and Indian war, and when Mary was
seventeen. that the Senecas swooped
down upon her pioneer home at March
creek. in Buchanan valley, Pennsyl-
vania. massacring all the family and
carrying the girl Off with them. At
Fort Duquesne her captors turned her
over to two old squaws. who took her
with them to Ohio. Here, as Deh-ga-
han-nus, "all things good" she began
her life as an Indian, and here two
years later she welded Sheninjee,
warrior of the Delawares and later
The next spring, her son strapped to
her back, this white girl set out with
her husband and two Indian brothers
to sell furs at Fort Pitt. From there
the brothers and Mary journeyed on
to the Genesee, five hundred miles be-
yond over harsh wilderness trails, leav-
ing Sheninjee behind to join them the
next spring. Mary reached the Ge-
nesee but she never saw her young
husband again. Indian trappers
brought her news Of his death.
When the baby she had carried with
her from the Ohio was four. Mary mar
ried again, Hiokatoo, known as a bad"
chief, but apparently kind husband.
By him she had six children whose
sole claim to the attention of the his
torian it seems was in examples Of in
herited "badness" Hiokntoo died "of
consumption" at one hundred and three.
In 1887. at Big Tree Council of the
Six Nations. Mary was given deed to
tract Of 17.OOO acres included now
in Letchworth park. In 1925 the Sen
ecas sold their holdings in this region
to the whites. hut Mary retained her
property and lived on. surrounded by
her children and grandchildren, an
alien among her own people. A few
years before her death. in 1888. she
moved to the reservation. returning at
the last to sanctuary among her adopt
ed people.

SOME DESSERT
SECRETS SOLVED
Also Bit Of Inside Information
on Pie Making.
By EDITH M. BARBER

Can l really nave pie, lnotAef!
was the delighted and astonished ques-
ton the other day. asked by a child
at the dinner table when dessert was
served and he was allowed to have
slice from the family dessert, instead
of having his own special custard.
The crust, you see, was made of plain
vanilla waters ground so fine that they
could be pressed into pie pan to form
q shell.
The filling in this case was that
quick lemon custard made of con-
densed milk and egg yolks which needs
no cooking. The whites were used for
a meringue which was put over the pie
and baked fifteen minutes in slow
oven, and then the pie was chilled
several hours In the refrigerator.
By the way, reader writes to ask
how she can make a tender fluffy
meringue. This depends on two things
the amount of sugar and the TEN
perature of browning. One table
spoon of sugar. prefer granulated-
to each egg white makes fluffy high
meringue If it is baked at a tempera.
ture not higher than 1926 degrees f
1t will do just as we'll if the tempera-
ture is lowered to 300 degrees f.. but it
takes somewhat longer to brown. The
addition of more sugar makes a
meringue with more flavor-more like
q frosting but 1t will not be so high.
Several readers have asked for more
information about cracker pie crust.
A very good, fool-proof crust can be
made of almost any cracker or cookie
which is not too rich but most of them
need the addition of melted butter and
sugar to make them hold together. Do
no worry If your mixture doesn't look
like the usual pastry-it isn't supposed
to! It will look much too soft, but you
will find that you can press 1t into
your pan quite easily. I think like
particularly well the graham cracker
crust, which is so popular with a
cream filling or with fruit covered
with whipped cream These crusts
which have sugar added are quite like
the pastry which is known as Wen
nese A successful crust can also be
made by mixing the rolled crumbs
with condensed milk. Ginger waters
make good crust for pumpkin fill
ing. Chocolate waters are good with
q whipped cream filling. am repeat
ing the recipe for graham cracker pas
try as have had so many requests for
1t during the past week.
An unsweetened crust can be made
by using plain crackers, rolling them
fine and mixing them with little melt
ed butter.

found to have a quantity of lead,
sulphur, a rubber pipe and a
bottle believed to contain nitro

Searched, he was found to pos
sess 20 pounds of lead. a package
C sulphur, a package of sand,
rubber pipe and a package Of
iron ore.
When officers took two bot
ties from him, Peterson told Of
ficerS not to monkey with that"
because they contained nitro
glycerine. The bottles were
emptied and found to contain
only water.
Another bottle, however, was
turned over to chemical experts
for analysis on the belief that it
actually does contain the nitro
glycerine.

Happy faces appeared at the
windows of the banks. The
strain of the past few days lifted
as tellers cashed large payroll
checks and honored small per-
Sonal checks.
Small merchants and house
wives trudged into the neighbor-
hood banks as the day advanced.
The news of the reopening of
the banks was conveyed to homes
by telephone and by the early
editions of the afternoon papers.
Many housewives were armed
with doctors prescriptions to
prove to tellers they needed
money for medicine, one of the
conditions set forth in Woodin's
new edict.
AS the banks reopened, chain
stores clamped down on cashing
the few checks they had honored
since the holiday went into ef-
feet.
All chain stores, however, were
extending credit on the man
ayers own responsibility.
Big Stores Cooperate
The big department stores con-
tinued to cooperate by urging
their customers to take advan-
tage of charge accounts.
