TAKONA KEEPS
TAX RATE Il,

At a special meeting of Mayor
Frederick L. Lewton and the Ia
koma Park town council, the pres
ent tax rate of IS cents per $1O0
was approved for the coming year,
which begins July /, according to
j. Wilson Dodd, town clerk and
treasurer.
Mr.. Dodd said a slight increase
in the tax rate was contemplated,
but the mayor and council decided
1t would be better to reduce the
yearly budget slightly than to in
crease the tax rate. The rate was
lowered in 1882 from $1.10 on the
500 to the present rate.
Councilman c. L. Boyer, whose
term has expired, turned over his
official council duties to Harold
w. Orcutt, newly elected council
man, who was sworn into office
last night.
Only one of the towns appoint.
i've offices was filled last night.
Mr.. Dodd was re-appointed town
clerk and treasurer. The other
appointments will be made at a
special meeting next Monday eve
ming in the town offices.

CH|CK|E'S DAUGHTER e. ByELenore Mel

But there was something in
David's look, something in the
way he lifted Chickie from the
car, tender and blindly defiant
that filled Pippin's mind with
doom.
The house was all lighted.
Helena'S room was ready.
There were nurses.
Then DR.. Meyer called and
another. They talked a long
while in David's study.
Pippin crept to the door Of
her mothers room. She went
in and looked at her. Her
face was dull except for the
hot eyes and a red dash near
her temples.
Helena said with resentment:
my head!" But when the
nurse came with a cold pack,
she ordered her away.
"You may as well go to bed,
Pippin," David said.
Wont you please tell me
what you're going to do? I'm
no child! I'm only more wor-
ried not knowing"
It'll tell you as soon as we
decide"
She went to her room. But
she knew her father and the
other doctors were with her
mother. They were hours with
her.
Pippin sat in a chair near
her window. She fell asleep.
At four o'clock in the morn
ing she awakened. A red moon
came through the Golden
Gate. 1t dropped low, touch
ing the hills near Point Bo-
nita and leaving a great glow
ing disk on the water.
She heard muffled voices in
the hall: her father and
Jonathan.
Agonizing Days
Pippin stole to the door. She
recoiled, seeing David's face.
All her fears were realized.
He looked at her out of dark,
goaded eyes.
why didn't you go to- bed,
Pippin?"
She answered, sobbing: "I
know! You did a spinal pune
ture, didn't you?"
The Washington times., 1934-05-30

I spoke Of. Well be at the
house before one o'clock"
"Is she very sick, Dad? What
do you think it is?"
II can't say. perhaps moth
ing. we'll just be on the safe
SIDE" He looked into her young,
driven face, appearing so small
with the wildly burning eyes.
Doomed?
Don't get alarmed. You
did good work and in good
time!"
But in the adjoining booth
as Pippin waited for her num-
ber, she heard David calling
DR.. Meyer: heard him say:
"God-I don't know-looks
like It'll"
But when she assailed him
with her questions and her
frightened accusing eyes, he
answered:
"Nonsense-I was talking of
a patient"
Pippin drove home. Old
Jonathan, grown suddenly so
mighty, sitting at her side and
David in the tonneau with
Chickie in his arms.
Jonathan leaned down and
said, confident, in Pippin's
ear: "See-she's not complain
ing. She's all right now!"
The Washington times., 1934-05-30
"YeS-We did"

"YeS-we did"
There was no need to ask fur.
ther. Pippin raised a limp hand
and brushed it slowly across her
eyes while the dread, terrible
picture of dead Helena; a fear
fully crippled Helena stalked
into her frantic heart.
Infantile paralysis.
80 it's sure?"
David put an arm about her.
He said in a thick, strained tone:
1T may not be so bad! Please
go to bed. It's going to be a
hard pull. Will you take this
now and sleep as long as you
can?"
Can I go and look at her,
David?"
Oh. better not-she doesn't
care!"
The whole world seemed blot
ted away in gray dreary fog.
Agonizing days passed.
Pippin stole often to her
mothers bed. All the delicate
beauty was gone from Helena's
face. One day Helena said to
her: "Look-it has no power!"
and pointed to her motionless
right arm.
"They expected this. It's moth.
ing. IT. will naSsI"
But Pippin walked about her
own room, weeping.
David said: "Will you wire to
Kevin? Ask him to fly home.
They need him at the office"
But she seems better. The
fever is gone"
Pippin said this to still the
blind terror in her own heart.
Her father didn't answer. He
said absently:
Should we send for Jon? Jon
would want to come"
"Oh Dad-that sounds so
hopeless. AS though Helena
might die"
He said quiet, yet in the same
mad, absent tone: Don't say it.
She will not die"
But he didn't leave the house.
He never left Helena's side.

Then let us start! Leave the

pack and close up the house.
Let Nellie stay with them. You

Jonathan's tone, the words he
used rang with forebod;ng. But
everything afflicted her. Even
the purple shadows now sweep
ing along the cliffs and making
indiStinct the harsh magnifi-
cence Of the mountains.
A light flashed along the
trail. Dadee came rushing up
the stones. The young boy was
shaking and filled with remorse.
II can walk" Chickie said.
She tried. After a little, when
1t was obvious the effort was
too great, Dadee and Dale lifted
her in their arms. They car
ried her to the boat.
She saw Bruce standing on
the pier. The freckles stood out
on his white, frightened face.

Chickie said weakly. But when
Dadee answered: Don't worry,
Helena, I won't let him out Of

with that remote, indifferent
look the very weak or the very
i'll cast upon a vanishing world.
They swept across the family
glowing twilight waters into the
vast, unending purple gloom.
Pippin kept her arms about her
mother but was afraid to look
at the drawn, ashy face and
closed quivering lids.

Her eyes rested a moment on
Dale's face; then on the far,
lofty peaks, rising sharp and
black against the pale, lu1nin.
Gus sky. Dale and her fever
of longing were now distant
as the mountains.
Chickie rested against old
Jonathan's shoulder. The dark
gathered quickly on the mar
row, high-walled mountain
road. She felt driven through
storm and waste.
She whimpered bitterly: "Oh
SO rough. Pippin-stop it,"
I'm going as easily as I
can, mother"
The faint, petulant cries
punctured the dark on the
100-mile drive to Sacramento.
They were wounded sounds.
They made Pippin feel weak.
She had never heard her
mother complain before.
It was just 10 o'clock when
Pippin drove up to the Sena-
tor Hotel. Before she had
parked the car, she caught
sight Of her father.
He came swiftly, saying as
he passed: Good! How is
she?" but did not wait for
Pippin's answer.
David opened the door of the
tonneau. He leaned over and
said gently:
"Well-Helena! Not feeling
so fine?"
Her fevered, apprehensive
eyes met his and tried to smile.
David took her hand. He
looked at her with quiet inten-
sity.
"Dear, would you be more
comfortable if you could stretch
out a bit?"
Pippin saw her mothers eyes
contract darkly.
"An ambulance? No! Please!
I'm all right! Can't we go op?"
Right away-I'l get my

But David gave Pippin a

the fact remains that 1t is too often
the neglected room.
Actually, it is one of the easiest
Of rooms to modernize successfully
and inexpensively. A new finish for
the walls and floors, new window and
shower curtains, new accessory or
two-and wonders are done.
Effective Scheme.
Perhaps the simplest and, at the
same time, the most effective of the
color schemes now in order is bath
room in black and white. Especially
where there are white fixtures, this
combination, best of all, can make
the room ultra modern in appearance
at small cost The wall may be done
lower half in black paint, linoleum
or another practical covering, and up
per half in a household finish of
whitest white. The floor should be
black like the lower wall. II linoleum
is used an off-black with slightly mot
tied gray tone is also pleasing.
If the floor is painted. an additional
coat of spar varnish will preserve and
make cleaning further easy. In this
refinishing process, be sure to use one
of the new household finishes made
on synthetic base because they are
exceptionally durable and stand hard
est washing, of utmost Importance
for bath room usage Also. these new
finishes are in the purest of whites
Evening star., 1934-09-15

and they do not turn yellow with age,
which is highly important from the
style angle. In a black and white
bath room, you must have pure
white for style effect.
Trend in Curtains.
In regard to curtains. A good
looking shower curtain will add dis
tinct note of luxury. Some of the
newest designs have valances that
conceal unsightly hooks. One es-
pecially attractive style is in heavy
white rayon satin with black scat
tered stars; the valance is plain white
with striking border of black-per-
feet choice for the color scheme under
consideration.
There are multi-colored prints in
rayon taffeta-one, for example, in
a water lily and cat-tail pattern, an
other in an Iris design, as wei as one
color but two-toned fabrics, and a
wide variety Of at least 20 different
plain, solid colors. All Of these can
be had with a valance.

bers because of the adverse conditions
to which the end joists of the trusses
were subjected. It was found that
roof leaks at these points were quite
serious and oftentimes went unre-
paired for several seasons; neverthe-
less the timbers remained sound. "In
fact, all the truss lumber. declared
the engineer in charge, "as well as
the joists. are sufficiently sound to
warrant their being used again when
the structure is rebuilt. They will be
good for innumerable years to come"
An interesting feature of wood con-
struction in the building is the utiliza-
tion of wooden dowels and of cut
nails. Wooden dowels- were used ex-
cfusively in joints and their prac-
