POLICE SPIRIT.
ATTACKER To
BALTIMORE
Alexander Jones Rushed From
Rockville Jail in Face of
Angry Mob of 500

While a crowd of more than 500
persons milled around the Rock
vile Jail last night, intent on
lynching Alexander Jones, colored
man who confessed to attacking a
16-year-old girl in Chevy Chase
several days ago, Montgomery
county police rushed him to Bal
timore for safe keeping.
The colored man covered in
terror in the police car as several
machines carrying would-be lynch
ers started in pursuit.
A State official, close to the
governor gave the order for the
transfer, it is understood.
State Orders Change
As the crowd started gathering
around the Jail shortly after dark,
police were notified that at least
1000 men would gather and
storm the jail. Four policemen,
heavily armed, guarded the col
ored man on the trip to Baltimore.
It was announced that Jones
will be held in the Baltimore jail
until the November term of cir
cult court when he will be tried.
Conviction carries the death pen
atty.
Admitted Attack
Jones admitted participation in
the attack on the young girl, the
daughter of a Government Off
cial. The girl has identified q
picture of him, police said.
Jones claimed that he parti-
cipated in the attack only because
his companion, also colored, forced
him at the point of a gun.
Police are now on the other
mans trail and expect to take
him into custody shortly.

yesterdays meeting of the Board
of Education by Henry 1. Quinn,
a member of the board. Advocat-
ing ALLEGATION of the work on

pairs to private contractors, Mr..
Quinn said the school repair
work should be taken out of the

FARLEY BOOKED.
WITH WALKER
LATE TODAY
Will Ask "SUrpIus" for Fluid
Purposes at Half Price
Charged to Public

Having forced an opening
wedge in the reduction Of milk
prices to families on relief rolls
with the agreement of a local
dairy to sell their product 2 cents
a quart cheaper, Commissioner
George E. Allen late today will
discuss the possibility of 7A-cent-
a-quart milk for relief families.
A conference is scheduled with
Frank S. Walker, president Of
the Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association, and it is
understood that Commissioner
Allen will ask that a local dairy
be sold surplus" milk for fluid
purposes at Is cents a gallon.
This is the price the association
is now receiving for their sur
plus" supply for manufacturing
purposes.
Cuts Prices in Half
Milk sold at this figure to some
local dairy would enable delivery
of the product at price Of
almost half of the cost of milk
to the general consumer.
Lists of families on relief rolls
are being prepared today so
that milk will be available for
them at II cents a quart. The
Embassy Dairy announced that
it would deliver the low-cost milk
following a conference with Com
missioner George E. Allen.
This two-cent reduction in
price will be available to all per.
sons certified as being on relief,
and is expected to increase con-
sumption more than 10000 gal.
Ions a month.
Asked to Buy More
Families will be urged to spend
the money saved through the
reduction to buy more milk. The
average consumption per family
on relief now is said to be one
quart per day. Families average
81 persons.
Edward L. Koepenick. treas
urer, and James J. Ward, secre-
tary, said their dairy is fully
prepared and capable to fill the
requirements of Washington'S
needy.
However, it is thought that
other diaries will follow with
similar reductions to retain their
share of relief business.

After a few minutes returned.
Night before last as he took
his place between Mrs. FORBES
Morgan, who was giving the din
ner, and me, he said quietly:
"Well, we've got Mrs. Stoll
back again"
About two weeks ago, when
the Attorney General returned
to my table after his phone call,
he said:
important news about the
Lindbergh kidnaper. Now we
know we've got him."
It was then an hour or two
after Hauptmann had been
found. The world was burning
to know what was happening.
And there beside me, eating
lettuce Swished up in oil and
vinegar, was Homer Cummings.
The man who could tell the
world the whole story.
When the Attorney General
announced the return OF Mrs.
Stoll night before last, the
witty Cecilia said quickly:
"If this keeps up, people will
be asking us out to dinner just
in hopes that Homer will eaten
a kidnaper with the salad"
Here's an extraordinarily in
teresting item about the press
and the kidnapingS.
For years the poor old press
has been cursed for encouraging
crime. Been blamed for prevent
ing the capture of criminals by
printing the suspicious OF the
police prematurely. When the
Attorney General told the din
ner party that Mrs. Stoll had
been returned to her home
in Louisville, newspaperman
among the guests hurrledly
phoned his Baltimore office.
He said:
Gust wanted to be sure you
had the news.
The reply was:
"Why, we've had the case
sewed up for three days. We've
even had the kidnaper's picture
made and ready to pop in the
paper when the Department of
Justice is ready to release the
story"
The Attorney General declared
that the cooperation of the press
in the Stoll case has been
magnificent,
Cooperation? Superhuman
patience and integrity are bet
ter phrases.
The dinner party at the
Forbes Morgans' was for Mr..
and Mrs. Edward A. Sumner.
The Summers have been living
in France for several years.
They have the ease and gra-
ciousneSs with which Heaven
and Paris sometimes decorate
the personality of intelligent
Americans abroad.
The new home of Sara and
Forbes Morgan in Kalorama
Road is extremely attractive.

Mentioning Americans in
Europe reminds me that when
Richard Louis Sprague died at
Gibraltar few days ago, there
ended lone hundred and two
years of faithful consular serv-
ice by the Sprague family as
American conSulS at Gibraltar"
The first Sprague was Hora-
ito. The line ends with Rich
ard Louis, who left no sons.

sorb. Wash the specimen and stir
until it is thoroughly mixed with
the brine. Then strain the fluid
through the gauge into the test
tube. Now take a small piece of
the steel wool and push it down
into the test tube so that it is about
half an inch below the top of the
fluid.
Allow it to stand for half day
and with a wire loop, loop off the
surface of the brine and place it on
a microscope slide. The brine is so
heavy that it causes the worm eggs
to float right to the top and in that
surface water, will be found a great
many eggs if there are any present.
When you observe the slide through
the microscope, remember to focus
on the surface Of the drop because
the eggs will still be on the surface
even though the film of water is
very thin.
You should have a microscope
that magnifies about $50 times and
a 500 magnification is best because
it gives one a chance to observe the
eggs much more carefully. use
the 40 power to find the eggs and
change to the 500 to observe them
more closely.
Tape worm eggs can not be de-
tected in this way, but no one need
worry about that because the dis
covery of segments of tapeworms
in the kennel is a far safer method
of identification anyway.
And tomorrow I am going to de-
scribe the most common worm eggs.

Mrs. Bailey is a widely-known lady,

lowing is her statement:
For years I had almost suffered
death with kidney trouble" said
Mrs. Bailey. For the last eleven
years I have been a victim Of kid
ney and bladder trouble. My nights
were all shot to pieces, as 1 had TO
get up so often, and l also had
sharp pains in my back and felt
weak and sore across my kidneys.
I always felt tagged out in the
mornings. 1 couldn't get a decent
night of rest and I would drag
through every day half-sick and all
my energy had gone from my body.
Il had spent HUNDREDS of dol
lars trying everything 1 could hnd,
but got no relief, and then recently
I heard about Indo-Vin and started
taking it, and I want to say that
this medicine is the most wonderful
thing of the kind that I ever heard
of. My kidneys are acting in a nor
NAL manner now and 1 can go to
bed and sleep and don't have to
keep getting up and down all night
and I don't have any kidney misery
in my back. 1 feel fine in the
mornings now and all the stiffness
in my back is gone and my kidneys
don't feel sore and achy like they
used to. I don't remember time
in my life when I ever slept any
better than I do now When touch
my head to the pillow at night I
go right to sleep like a tired school,
girl. This medicine is the most
wonderful thing 1 EVER heard Of
and l gladly endorse it"
