School and James M. Beck, nationally
known attorney and former solicitor
general Of the United Safes.
The Senator said it is possible he
may supplement his resolution with
a proposed amendment to the declara-
tory judgments act of June IA, 1894,
to provide that all declaratory judg-
ments shall go to the head of the
calendar in Supreme Court cases, and
that an appeal shall lie directly from
the District Court to the Supreme
Court, thus avoiding the Circuit Court
of Appeals and greatly expediting de-
ciSions on questions of law.
In becoming sponsor of such legis-
1ation Senator Lonergan seems to be
in good position to obtain action in
the coming session. He has served in
the House and Senate for more than
10 years, is friend of the admins
dlO oil
who comes from a State deeply en-
bedded in constitutional principles.
For it was in Connecticut that gov
ernment by a written constitution was
first conceived.
Believes Caution Necessary.
Senator Lonergan believes constitu-
tional changes should be approached
with caution, but he believes that
changing economic and social condi-
tions call for liberal thinking. Crea-
tion Of an advisory court will serve to
keep the people and the administra-
ton and Congress more level-headed
in dealing with constitutional uues-
tions, he said.
He himself is sponsoring an amend
ment to the Constitution to eliminate
tax-exempt securities and believes that
this legislation and other reforms un-
der the Constitution are certain to
come. And If they are, he feels they
should come without long delays re-
sulting from the present system Of
working cases through the courts.
IF the people demand reforms they
should know in the beginning whether
they require constitutional changes or
not" he said.
The suggestion has been made that
q the new advisory court Is provided
for it might use the old Supreme Court
chamber in the Capitol Building for its
hearings.

BY the Associated Press.
After a delayed opening in London,
the New York price for imported bar
silver was set ! cent lower today, at
1924 cents an ounce.
Fixed by Handy & Harman, leading
bullion brokers, the price established
a new low since early April.
In London the price was fixed at
27l2 pence an ounce, a decline OF IA
pence from the previous figure, after
almost three hours delay, while brokers
awaited advices on the American silver
policy. No price was quoted on two
month forward business.
The silver crisis was reflected in
closing prices Of silver shares on
the London Stock Exchange, some
leaders being down as much as a
shilling. Gold shares were generally
quiet.
London brokerage Offices were
swamped with business after the two
day stalemate, tension being eased
noticeably when 1t was learned Amer
ica had placed small buying orders.
Pittman Accuses British.
Meanwhile, United States Senator
Key Pittman of Nevada limited British
financiers are trying to halt Americas
silver-buying policy.
u. S. Purchases Claimed.
The United States Treasury passed
the word it was carrying out the sill
yer purchase policy laid down by Con-
gress. in spite of dispatches from
financial centers that the London
market was paralyZed by huge guam
titles Of silver from the Far East and
by the American Treasury's refusal to
buy.
About 3,500,0 900 ounces Of silver were
reported to be in the market, but their
destination was not yet known.
Senator Pittman, prominent in the
silver bloc said in Reno President
Roosevelt has never considered chang
ing the program and all efforts to
force its abandonment will fail.

Charges Propaganda.
"These interests have continually
attempted, through vast newspaper
propaganda, to convince the Chinese
that the policy was going to ruin
them and that their only hope was
to demonetize silver and 60 on a
managed currency tied for stabiliza-
ton purposes to the pound sterling.
"Leith Ross, financial adviser to
the British government, went to China
to conSummate such a scheme. So
far, it has not been successful"
Chinese bankers in Shanghai were
skeptical that the government will be
able to maintain the stability of the
Chinese dollar in the face of possible
abandonment of American silver buy
ing. They believe the value of metal
backing the notes would shrink and
result in undermining of public con-
fidence.

I'VE won't begin worrying until
silver drops to 1712 pence, which Is
the price to which the Chinese dollar
has been pegged against the pound

ernment bank said.

It seems there always are fresh

Aside from this baby beets are
ideal for home canning. Less

they do not lose flavor through

Scrub Bects With Brush
Wash beets thoroughly, using a
vegetable brush. Cut off tops,
leaving about two inches Of stem.

nor cut the long straight tap root.

days are lost because Of ill-
ness due to sunburn, which rep
resents an annual loss of $1,4o0,-
600. In the majority Of cases the
sunburn Is deliberately and inten-
tionally acquired; therefore, this
huge economic loss, and the suf-
fering and distress OF the victims,
could be prevented IL little care
and judgment were exercised"
This paragraph from q bulletin,
issued recently by DR.. Charles F..
Pabst, Chief Dermatologist Of q
Brooklyn Hospital, should make
everyone a good deal more sensi-
BILE about suntan. DR.. Pabst's
bulletin goes on to say that there
il one type, the heliophobe, who
never should attempt to get even
q light coat Of tan.
II you are one who has tried
for years to acquire q suntan, but
never have succeeded in getting
anything. except redness and bis
ters, the chances are that you
come under the heliophobe head
ing. In this case, you should pro-
tect yourself from the SUMS rays,
especially during June, July ana
August, the months when the rays
are very strong in ultraviolet
light. It is this light which burns
and blisters the skin.
For those who do tan, DR..
Pabst urges good deal of pa

the tan is acquired, 1t is quite safe
to lie in the sun for long sessions.
The Dermatoiogist lists five rules
which I think every. beauty-mind-
ed woman should memorize before
starting on a vacation:

posures.

you are a heliophobe, ana
should not expose yourself, as
every new exposure means d
new burn.
"3. Do not sleep on the beach
in the direct rays of the sun.
"a. When fishing or sailing,
remember that the water re-
fleets the ultraviolet light
which may burn you.
"5. During June, July and
August, protect yourself froiii

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIV
True to Tubby's prediction,
Dram scheduled the "big scene"
for the following day. Tennis and
badminton courts, the riding paths,
and even the bathing beach were
empty, for all the Crest Lake
guests crowded the shore of the
lake in sight of the movie activ-
titles.
For the past several days
Drann's carpenters had been busy
erecting long platform out from
shore, and mounting on this the
sound and microphone equipment.
Like most motion picture parties
on location, Dram and his outfit
had been maddeningly reticent
about just what was going to hap
pen. But rumor had 1t that this
was to be an important day in the
making of the picture. The truth
was that to-day's scene would be
only an incident in the completed
film, and that the real big scene"
Ia forest t1re--would be filmed in
the privacy and safety of the Atlas
studios in Hollywood. Nevertheless,
this knowledge, leaking out from
minor members of Drann's crew,
did not slacken the interest of the
people at Crest Lake. And, just as
Douglas Marsh had said they

morning. On the way out of the
Inn they encountered Bret Paul.

smile and Joined Tubby's instant

The children were playing games
in the front yard and Flo's parents
were reading, or appeared to be.
Flo did not know that she was
being observed rather more care
fully than usual this evening, but
such was the case.
There had been q good bit of
quarreling recently in the neigh.
borhood, and Flo had come In day
after day grumbling about one
Ollie johnson who wanted every
thing her own way.
Her mother had believed her
because Ollie was an outspoken,
spunlxy little girl who wasa't
afraid Of anybody. Flo was the
opposite type with dropping dis
satisfied mouth, and very quiet.
Her mother was not playing detec-
tive on Flo's account except to see
that she had q square deal ana
to hope the child would stand UP
for her rights.
vaciilating Interest
First they played "Gramammy
Tippy Toe" and ollie, OF course,
was Gramammy. After two turns,
Flo, said, II don't like this game
Let's play '1ggs.'"
SO they played "Eggs," Flo be-
ing buyer and Ollie seller. Most
of the eggs ''broke" when tested
and were put in the FASH can .
After awhile two others had the
star parts and Flo and Ollie were
eggs. Tough little Ollie didn't
break when swung by the arms,
but Flo did. Very shortly after
ward she said 'I don't like this
game. Let's play Tag"
"Oh, come on. We want our
turns" protested the other candi-
dates. "F'lo, you're always get
ting tired OF everything"
II tell you," said Ollie. Let's
play London Bridge"
Bridge" shouted Sally Moore
promptly.
"Tli sell the forfeits," said Flo
quietly.
"You don't have forfeits."
'Well, let's change It. Every
one caught has to pay toll, sock
or a ring or something. And I'll
say, Heavy, heavy, what hangs
over and tell you to do things
But London Bridge wasn't half
over when Flo said, '.I'm tired.
I don't want to play any more. /
want to read"
Ollie Speaks Her Mind
ooh, Flo. We're not tired. If
you go you'll break up the game.
You're always breaking UP the
game just when we get started"
Ollie was speaking her mind.
you're SELFISH" she accused.
"You don't think Of anybody but
yourself. You get tired Of every
thing we play in two seconds"
Flo quietly walked to the steps
and sat down.
So! Her mother had the whole
picture now. Flo, according TO
the lecture series she had heard
was still an emotional baby. Sire
only stuck at anything until ths
first thrill was over. She didn't
insist on leading, but she was a
quittar, not willing to stay when
the others wanted to go on. And
It had to be games she liked, the
thing she felt like doing at the
moment.
Tomorrow there would be a
talk. The child couldn't go
through life picking and choosing
and changing her mind like that.
She'd have to grow up, emotion
ally, and stop this baby business.
