sistance to the scene of the acci-
dent. Attempts to reach some one
at the Wyoming and Dover sta
tions of the railroad company were
unavailing, as no one was there at
that hour. Mrs. Grant immediate
ly called one of the local doctors in
Wyoming and telephoned the sta
tion agent at his home in Dover
and notified him of the accident.
Too i'll to leave his house, the sta
tion agent requested her to notify
the train dispatcher at Wilmington
Del, which she did at once, giving
him such details as she knew in re-
gard to the accident, and connect
ing him with one of the passengers
who had been aboard the wrecked
train, and who made a more COM
plete report. While talking with
the railroad station agent, Mrs.
Grant had inquired as to the names
of the two railroad company doc
tors in Dover, and got in touch
with one of them and with the as
sistant of the other, both of whom
hurried to the scene of the acci-
dent. Mrs. Grant then proceeded
to summon the State Police, reach
ing them after a number of at
tempts, as they were all on duty
away from the police station. Mrs.
Grant then called the Dover fire
house to summon the ambulance
and telephoned three members of
the ambulance crew at their homes
in order that they might receive
the news of the accident without
delay. During all of this time,
Mrs Grant was handling toll calls
from passengers on the train, who
included thirty-nine members of
the Boston American League base
ball team, who were returning
from their spring training trip in
Florida. These passengers were
calling to their homes to assure
their families that they were safe.
AS soon as news of the wreck be-
came known in Dover, the volume
of Dover calls rapidly increased,
thus placing an additional respon-
sibility on Mrs. Grant A few days
after the wreck the commercial
of the telephone company
at Dover received a letter from the
railroad company expressing ap-
probation for the assistance rem
dered by Mrs. Grant"

plane conditioned, and would be
ready to take off tonight.
Doris had been in turmoil of in
decision-a slender reed, swaying
between two winds.
She had toosed all night, her brain
a battle-ground of conflicting desires.
1t was in the chill, gray hours of the
morning, when she turned on the
light. and saw Kenneth lying there
with one arm thrown across his
head, in an attitude of boyish aban-
donment, that she realized, with a
sudden rush of tenderness. that she
loved him-inescapably. She had
snuggled close in his arm, humble
and full of remorse.
Had she learned then, too late,
what Kenneth really meant to her?
She had fleeting vision of his face,
white and stricken, when he would
have learned of the duplicity-and
she put her hand across her eyes,
as though to shut out the Image.
When she reached home, she
found Kenneth and Donald in the
kitchen, mixing high-balls.
"a fine hostess, you are!" Ken
meth said, catching her around the
waist, and swinging her off the
floor. "Why didn't you stay home
and greet your guestS?"
"Oh, I just thought I'd take
walk" she looked miserably at Don
aid
Don got telegram, and has to
leave tonight, so we thought we'd
have a little celebration" Kenneth
said, handing her a high-ball. "Just
minute. and I'll chip some more
ice," he went out onto the porch
whistl'ng.
Donald, studiously avoiding her
eyes, took something from his pock-
ct, and walking over to the stove,
struck match to it, turning 1t In
his hand as the flames leapt up.
She watched him with mute in
credulity. When the last flame had
died over little mound of gray
ashes, he turned to her and spoke
softly: You should have known /
would get the letter. 1 found it in
her mail box three minutes after /
talked to you"
He raised his glass to hers, and
esid with a cynical smile, as Ken
meth entered: Here's happy days =,

Girls Darker Than
Boys, Expert Finds

London.-Girls are darker in
coloring than boys.
This is the conclusion reached
by an English research worker
after fourteen years of observa-
tfon. Other facts discovered In
this connection are that in all
physical measurements except
stature, the boys have an advan-
tage over the girls in each group.
The sexes are equal in height
up to eleven years, but with the
earlier commencement of the
girls period Of rapid growth 1t
was found that they were taller
than the boys between the ages
Of eleven-fourteen. After this
age boys became steadily taller
than girls.

L. North on this weeks fruit and
vegetable counters. Strawberries
from Virginia and California cher
ries, Jersey asparagus and Texas
beets, Puerto Rican pineapple and
Long Island spinach are only a few
foods from the wide spread gardens
that feed US.
II is fortunate for those of US on
restricted food budgets that as meats
go up fruits, vegetables and fish be-
come cheaper, and more plentiful.
Cabbage, spinach, green beans,
onions and carrots are excellent low
cost vegetables. asparagus and peas
are medium cost, and corn and lima
beans expensive.

lowing menus.
