returned to it by the closed Cen
tral Trust Company of Maryland.
under a ruling handed down by
circuit judges here yesterday in
which they ruled that the merger
agreement of the two banks must
be reScinded.
The decision was made by
Judges Hammond Urner and Ar
thur D. willard. They rendered
no opinion. however, on the ques-
ton of the assignment to the
Filedity and Deposit Company by
the Central Trust Company OF
certain mortgages it received from
the Washington Trust Company.
The court ruling read, in part:
'TTpOn the question in this
case to the recession of a merger
of the washington Trust Com
pany with the Central Trust
Company, the evidence, in our
opinion, requires a conclusion
corresponding to that rendered
In the case Of the Peoples
Bank Of Smithsburg. The con-
trolling facts of the two cases
are closely similar and they
relate to transactions which
occurred at the same period.
There is no adequate ground
for making a distinction be-
tween them for the purpose

Police Check

: Evidence

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-In de-
scribing evidence already OBJ
tanned in the Wynekoop murder
case, Supervising Police Capt.
John Siege today declared:
First, when Rheta's body
was found on the operating
table, there was q big pool Of
blood about the mouth, show
ing absolutely that when the
bullet entered her back, she
was alive and that the result
was a terrific hem0rrhage.
"At her back, near the wound,
was another pool Of blood, part
ly sOpped UP by a towel. One
of our chief points to prove Is
that Rheta was alive when that
bullet was fired. This evidence
proves that she was.
Second is DIR. WynekOOp's
story to neighbOrs that Rheta
was going away on q long visit.
This was to avert suspicion II
the girl disappeared.
Then there is the insurance
angle-Dr. Alice'S visits to in

indemnity insurance on Rheta
and her own payment Of the
premiums despite the fact that

81 am innocent. I had nothing
to do with the murder OF my
daughter-in-law. Rheta was
the victim Of a moron"
From her hospital bed in the
county jail infirmary, DR.. Alice
Lindsay Wynekoop, 62-year-old
physician, made this statement to-
day as a. grand jury indictment
was sought charging her with the
murder of ,Rheta Gardner Wyne-
koop.
Back to Old Story
In her statement, made through
her attorney, Frank j. Tyrrell, the
aging doctor, who has been under
@ physicians care since early yes
terday, reverted to her original
story to police-that she had
found Rheta's almost nude body
on her basement operating table
at $40 last Tuesday night; that
IaeE desk, had been robbed Of $6
and, that some intruder, was the
slayer.
OF the confession she signed ad-
uniting having. shot, Rheta IN the
back when the latter failed to re-
vive from chloroform anaesthe-
MA, DR.. Wynekoop declared:
'T' gave my confession after
i so hours of questioning by the
police department. During this
time they only offered ME one
cup of coffee, as far as foods are
concerned.
"Rheta was the victim Of a
mOron."
POINTS TO YOUTH
DR., Wynekoop declared, in sub
sanitation of her statement, that
last summer Rheta was held up in
the basement office and gave the
thug, a youth, 500 from the doc
tors desk. She said she had not
reported the hold-up to police be,
cause on a previous OCCASION,
when she had reported the theft
Of an automobile, nothing came Of
at. She continued:
"Evidently this young man re, j
turned for more money, found
Rheta in the basement, then
killed her for fear she might
identify him later. She was mis-
treated, indicating the work OF.
o degenerate"
DR., Wynekoop advanced the
theory that the intruder had
chloroformed Rheta and then had
shot. her to make sure of death

mitted in her now repudiated con-
fession that she had administered
Ghe said:
Nobody with long medical
experience would ever burn a
persons face with chlOrOfOrm.
That is one of the first things
they learn in administering

NOTHING BUT HOUSE
Denouncing the police, DR.
Wynekoop said:
"There has not been a real
Investigation in the murder of
my. daughter-in-law, because

vestigated nothing but my

Milk Beneficial

and oily skin? My skin is quite

you think the cream left On
all night would cause it?
MISS A. ]. X.
Ayes, milk is beneficial.
Plain milk patted over the face
and allowed to dry will act as
a mild bleach and astringent.
You might try using a pore
cream on your cheeks. It is an
astringent cream VIII C h you
leave on for an hour or so to
refine the texture of the skin.
Massage is best for frown lines.
If you can't correct the lines
yourself, you might try a few
facials at the hands Of an ex-
pert. If the cream happens to
be too rich, it might possibly be
the cause of the puffiness. Try
leaving it off for a. few nights
to test it. Pat an astringent
under your eyes-ever so gently.
If the condition is rather bad,
you might try an eye strap.

Wedding Gift
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
A young man in our office
(small office) Is to be married.
I have met the bride-to-be once,
and speak to her almost every
day on the telephone, when
she calls the groom-to-be. The
fellow employees are not giving
a gift Il am, of course, speak
ing for our own office,
neither, I believe, will any Of
us receive an invitation to the
wedding, due principally to the
fact that it is mixed mar
riage and, of course, only the
necessary people will be present.
What I wish to know is,
would a gift to the couple
from myself be out of place?
I have known the young man
for about a year and a half.
I presume one sends the gift
to the bride-to-be. and also
that it is correct to simply
enclose ones calling card?

be an entirely unnecessary ges-
ture for you to send a we'd

Those who didn't like it were
mostly the same people who
never like anything new, and a
few others who just didn't like
1t anyway.
Paris IndOrSes It
Those few who just don't like
monkey fur will probably never
change, but in spite Of them,
it's in, and to stay for a season
or so. Paris Endorsed it hearth
ly last year, and have used it to
great extent this year.
American manufacturers and
fashionables are following suit,
and now you see it on all types
of clothes, for all times of day
or night.
It is always used in a fringe
effect, . narrow piece used to
edge q wing, a sleeve, a collar,
or q scarf, SO that you get the
best effect from the long silky
hairs.
Never for Sports
Even hats are trimmed with
monkey fur. You'll see soft
pad of it with ends dropping off
the hat, graceful and very be-
coming.
It's excellent for wings on
evening gowns, for a touch Of
elegance on a cocktail gown, or
a look Of richness on a costume
Of almost any type.
It's never sports-like, however,
and should be restricted to for
NAL or semi-for1nal dresses, hats
and wraps.
Rabbit and Monkey
You can see in our photo
graph how smart monkey fur is
for wings on a frock. It is used
on a soft, woody fabric, Of
rabbits hair and wool.
It lifts the wool right out
Of the sports class and makes
it a street or afternoon dress.
The dress is in taupe gray,
the fur black, and the jabot OF
white bengaline, buttoned down
with rhinestone and jet but
tons, which are used again on
the belt. It is $19.95, and comes
in MISSES sizes.

tic. A quantity of warm water.
A long-handled scrubbing brush.

oughly.
Now pat your back with heat
ed boric acid solution. Concen-
trate over the areas covered
with blackheads. Cover the

gently press out the blackheads.
Some will yield very readily.
Work on those and leave the

Now rinse with clear, cold

Of the bath brush as well as
rubbing shoe-shine fashion with
q Turkish towel after the bath.

excellent antiseptic wash

The treatment for eruptionS
Is much the same as the one
outlined for blackheads. A ster-
1lized needle may be used to
prick open any pimples which
have come to a head-but this
should be done very gently.
Cover the finger tips with tis-
sue-press out any pus and pat
again with boric acid solution.
A special acne lotion should
then be applied.
In the morning after cleans
ing the skin, the same acne To-
ton that is used for facial piu-
pies is excellent for use Oh the
back. It is actually healing
and at the same time will cover
up the ugly blemishes.
Lotions
For excessive perspiration,
pat your back several times a
day with witch hazel or rub
bing alcohol. A Is per cent
solution of aluminium chloride
in distilled water may be used
on the back once or twice a
week.
OF course, proper diet, regu.
lar elimination, water within
and without, sleep, rest and
exercise are the first factors
to consider in treating any skin
condition. Check up on your
health rule right now, and you
will be that much to the good.
After following the treatment

be ready to wear any evening

Only East and West were
vulnerable when South dealt.
Bidding went: South, 1-Spade:
North, 1-No Trump; South,
2-Hearts; North, 2-No Trumps;
South, 3-Spades, to show
greater length than in hearts;
instead of bidding 4-Spades, as
he should have done, North
ended bidding with 3-No
Trumps.
The opening lead was the
King Of Clubs. North's Ace
won the second trick in the
suit, after the drop Of Vests
8 made it appear as If that
player might have no more OF
the suit. It was impossible to
90 game without establishment
of the spades, so the declarer
had to lead a spade, hoping
that West, and not his part
ner, might be the player haV-
ing the stops to spades. When
East played the Jack of Spades,
dummy's Ace won the trick,
but East won the second trick
in. the suit, after which he
ran off three club tricks.
Then East took his good
spade trick. -Four club tricks
and two spade tricks defeated
the contract two tricks. The
doc1orer would have done bet
ter had he taken his eight
visible tricks before letting
East in. One club trick, two
diamond tricks, four heart
tricks and a single spade trick
would have enabled North to
win within a trick Of his con-
tract.
Game could not have been
won at hearts, on account OF
the very bad distribution OF
trumps, but South did his best
to induce his partner to play
the deal at spades, if possible,
and North should have needed
the advice.
Try playing the hand at
spades, with a normal opening
lead of the @ of diamonds, al
though that lead is not par
ticularly advantageous.
Win the opening lead with
dummy's Ace. Lead the 8 OF
spades. When East plays the
j, win with the ace. Lead a
second round of spades. Vests
last trump falls. East wins
the first trick for his side.
East will lead back the K OF
clubs. Dummy will win the
trick. Don't bother to waste
a trump in each hand to pull
East's winning trump. Lead
winning hearts until East uses
his last trump to ruff. East
will lead his clubs and win one
trick in that suit, then the de-
clarer will spread his hand for
game, having lost only two
spade tricks and single club
trick.

card should be enclosed. 1t
is not necessary to write
message on the card, but this
may be done if you wish.
Sending Birth Announcement
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I have some birth announce
ments I wish to mail to friends
and relatives. I have a brother
in-law who is married. I do not
care for his wife. Should I send
the card just addressed to him,
or would it be better not to send
any at all, knowing that she will
feel the slight keenly? C.
Even though you aren't par
ticularly fond of your brother
in-law's wife, it would be the
mannerly thing for you to ad-
dress the announcement to both
wife and husband. 1t would be
rather ridiculous Of you to make
such a point of your dislike in a
circumstance that can't make
much difference to you.

Optimist
BY ALINE MICHAELIS
After Twenty Years

We stand here once again and
standing so,
Our bodies do what souls can
not achieve.
Our feet have crossed this
sill where, long ago,
We came, together, on a
Springtime eve
When youth and love surged
hotly in our blood,
And we were one as few have
ever been:
Glad memories return in
golden flood
To sweep away the strange
ness Of the scene.
Forgotten long, it all comes
back today,
Our chairs were by this
hearth, our bed stood here;
These walls have echoed to
our laughter gay,
This mirror has reflected
most dear.
Our feet walk where they
trod in youthful pride:
Not. so can souls thrust twenty
years aside!
