Give Delightful Party.

One Of the cleverest parties OF the
season was given last Saturday night
by Mrs. Ned Joughin and Mrs Erford
Jaoueth at the Joughin home. The
rooms were beautifully decorated with
summer flowers When the 20 guests
arrived they were informed it was to
be Treasure Hunt and were given
directions in little envelopes. The search
progressed around the grounds and
finally into the house where there was
much confusion with everyone hunting.
Mrs. Louis Klenck finally found the
slip which gave here lovely teapot
most attractively done up in treasure
chest
AT the conclusion of the evening the
hostesses served delicious ice cream,
little cakes and punch
The party was to be in honor OF Mrs
Joughin's sister, Miss Ruby Carleton
but Miss Carleton was delayed on her
return FROM Alaska.

diction. I understand that
there has been an examination

suicide. Under these circum.

under Captain Andy's guidance,
Baltimore's crime percentage
had been reduced until this city
ranked among the lowest in the
country.
This was strictly true. How
ever. only a few months earlier,
Baltimore had started in upon a
veritable crime wave, one which
threatened to send its average
soaring. Seven major crimes
had been committed during this
short period-AND THE PO-
LICE HAD FAILED TO SOLVE
A SINGLE ONE OF THEM!
It seemed as if every profess
Sional crook in the country had
decided to descend upon us.
Bank holdup had followed hold

the emergency squad, with its

crime, where. only too often,
some innocent employe had been
murdered to appease a yegg-
mans wrath. Chain stores-fill-
ing stations-motor
trianS - nothing seemed too
trivial for the attention Of the
underworld and the local papers
carried glaring headlines every
afternoon telling of some fresh
atr )city.
The police were doing all they
could. Every city passes through
a wave of this nature at some
period in its growth.
But the tangible results were
pretty slim and the newspapers
and the public were becoming
impatient. Editorials question
ing the efficiency of the depart
