TRICK LADDER
FO|LS ROMEO

BALTIMORE, Md, June IS.
Romeo in his palmiest days never
had a thing on Henry N. Bailey.
For Romeo was content to stand
beneath his lady's balcony and
Groom sweet nothings. Mr.. Bailey,
attempting to win back the wife
from whom he had been estranged
for four years, invented and con.
structed an ingenious ladder.
It was IL feet long and four
inches wide and so hinged that it
might be concealed beneath a
coat.
Early today the estranged wife
heard a crash beneath her win
dow, in Huntingdon Avenue. She
screamed and police responded.
They found Bailey on the ground,
with the tickle ladder unhinged.
In Northern Police Court Mrs.
Bailey said she might be willing
to take her erring spouse back if
only he would collect a job.

The Arlington County Public
Utilities Commission today is
laying the ground work for con-
test Of the appeal of the Rosslyn
Gas Company from the recent
ruling of the Virginia Corporation
Commission ordering a reduction

Meanwhile the gas situation in
Arlington county continues un-

pany appeal is lost in the appellate
court the excessive charge must
be returned by the company,
which has posted a $4,000 sus-
