 And now there was this. His sister in distress. Her husband and her two little girls injured. Seriously, the menacing yellow sheet said. It was the law of hu- man nature that this should come first with him now, should crowd his own problems into the back ground. He drove home rapidly, dreading to tell his mother, but knowing it must be done without delay.
 He found her fin her bedroom, placidly writing his sister letter. John told her, saw her face pale and tighten.
 She said, We must catch the 5:30 train. What time is it now?" Ten after A." John told her. Hadn't we better wait for the night train, Mother? A shock like this and then & rush--you'll col lapse"
 "T'll not collapse" she replied. Florence needs us. She may need us terribly before morning. Get two bags. Call Susie, Call Ebe to drive us in my car---"
 These things were done as she ordered. Strangely, it was she who took charge, her mother-heart SC determined to get to the child who needed her that her mind worked like a machine.
 John had a minute or two to spare before Ebe brought the cal out. He went to the desk and wrote this hurried message:

 Ebe was sounding the horn. John ran to the waiting car and got in, his mother and the bags already inside. Ten minutes later they were on 0 train speeding to- ward Washington.
 From then on, John realized, he must take charge. Already his mother was looking limp and tir- ed and frightened.
 She said, Three of them hurt, John! Seriously. Florence said. If it's bad, we can't expect three out of three to live, can we? The law of averages, mean"

Autumn brings us splendid va riety of fresh fruits which the alert housewife may serve to her family. Even the most langud appetite will respond to the many dishes which can be prepared with beach, es, apples. pears and many of the other harvest time fruits and vege- tables.
 Many of these Eresh fruits will no doubt find their way into delicious pies, cakes dumplings and other tasty dishes. Of course, a standard way to serve peaches is with cream and sugar. However, if your fam fly grows weary of this method of serving them, here is a recipe which will provide just the right tapgy blend to delight the palate.
 The recipe IS baked peaches with wine. The ingredients and method of preparation are simple and easy to follow.

| our consumption of sugar in America is now equivalent to a lit- tie more than two pounds a week for every person. A large part of this is consumed in the form of candy, and 8 larger part in the form of ice cream and sweetened beverages.
 Sugar is the best fuel for energy, quickly digested and easily oxidized in the body to, yield immediate energy. When we say energy we mean work, muscle work, whether 1t is in the way of play or labor or athletic contest or fighting or run- ming away from danger. There Is no such thing as nerve" energy, | nor does power come from the | nerves-the nerves serve merely to transmit impulses or messages. Even the energy used by the brain in thinking is so infinitesimal that, to the best of our present knowl- | edge, the half of a peanut provides ample energy to supply the require- | ments of the brain in intense brain l work" for several hours.
 No, you just can't use up energy sitting around and watching others ! work, play, perform or entertain you.
 The healthy young child growing and playing hard as healthy child should play, needs and should have plenty of sugar.

 Besides children who play hard every day, adults who do any sort of honest work daily should have plenty of sugar or sweets. By hon. est work I mean muscular labor, play or exercise.

BLACKHEAD TREATMENT
 DDnnFR h rerErn

RHOThAOIEDs A lovely complexion, smooth and clear with no blemishes, cer- tainIy is something for which to strive. The girl who values her personal appearance will do all she possibly can to clarify her skin and to keep 1t healthy.
 If you have blackheads, set aside fifteen minutes every other night for a couple of moaths, or until you get rid of them, to give your self treatments that will eliminate the disagreeable blemishes.
 When you have washed your face with plenty of warm water and thick, bland soap studs, rinse twice with quite hot water, dry carefully and smooth on Q thin layer of tissue cream. Then, cov- ering forefingers with cleansing tissues, press out all the impuri- ties that come out easily. Be care- full not to bruise or pinch the skin. Don't try to remove all the black heads the first night.
 When you have finished, remove cream and pat the places you have sqeezed with some kind of anti septic. Let dry, rinse several times with ice water and apply pore cream.
 Small white particles that collect in the pores can be treated in much the same manner. However, it generally is more satisfactory to prick them gently with a sterilized needle before you start to sqeeze. Be sure to apply ,antiseptic after ward.
 Remember, of course, that plenty of sleep, eight glasses of water each day and sensible diet Is conductive to skin beauty. If you have stubborn blemishes that do not respond to home treatments, see your doctor immediately.

BILL PUSHED

Legislation seeking to expedite
prosecution of negligent homi-
eide" cases resulting from traffic
accidents was proposed in the
Senate today by Senator William
H. King CD of Utah, chairman
of the Senate District Committee.
The measure, recommended by
the District Commissioners, would
class such crimes as misdemeanors
instead of felonies, as they are
under present law, and therefore
would obviate the necessity of
bringing them before the Grand
Judy.
An individual would be guilty
of negligent homicide" it is

careless, reckless or negligent
manner, but not wilfully or wan

QUICK RELIEF

While lawmakers and the Ad.
miniStration were engaged today
in a tug of war over the prevail
ing wage amendment to the work
relief bill, the American farmer
came to the Capital and told
President Roosevelt in no uncer.
tain terms that residents of the
rural sections want the work re-
lief bill passed in a hurry and
the vast relief army put to work
at any wages the Government
can pay.
This position of organized agri.
culture as represented by the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton was placed before the Presi'
dent by Edward A. O'Neal, preSi'
dent of the farm organization.
Tells Farm View
Mr.. O'Neal said the American
farmers are tired of producing
food for people who either do not
or will not work. He said:
"The substance of our stand
in this matter is that those
who work shall eat; those who
cannot work shall eat; but that

BANDITS RAID
MISSIONS
IN CHINA
U. S., British Flee to Coast;
2 Americans Reported
Held in ShenSi

SHANGHAI, China, Feb. %.
Hundreds of British and Ameri-
can mission workers were fleeing
from the interior to coast cities
today as army airplanes and
picked troops raced to Shensi
province in an effort to save the
lives of the latest victims OF
bandit outrages.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. C. Frencham,
natives of Melbourne, Australia,
have been missing for a week.
since bandits raided the town OF
Nang- Chang, where they had es-
tablished a mission station on
their wedding trip last year.
It is now reported that Miss
Alma Artibly of Chicago, and
Miss R. v. Thompson of Nevada,
Iowa, both gra dua ties Of the
Moody Bible Institute, are miss
ing. They have been working in
Shensi province as missionaries
Doctor Is Sent
One of the planes sent after
the bandits carried a doctor, in
the hope that the captives will
be found alive. Mrs. Frencham
has been expecting a child.
Meanwhile fugitives were re-
ported arriving in Sian, Ankang
and other river ports, on their
way to the seacoast.
Rumors reaching here say Mrs
Frencham was slain by the
bandits, but that her husband is
still alive. The bandits were
headed westward, outrunning
troops sent after them from Sian,
capital of the providence.
At Nang-Chiang the native
population witnessed a surprise
visit by the guerrillas, some OF
them in uniform and all OF
them armed. Quickly overcoming
the native garrison and the inef-
fective resistance of the natives
the bandits killed all of the
local officials except the com
mander of the garrison.
Fled, Captured
The latter fled with Mrs
Frencham and members of his
family. They were overtaken and
captured a short distance from
the city.
In the encounter the com
mander's wife was slain and Mrs
Frencham held as hostage. Mr.
Frencham meanwhile had been
captured by another force.
Mr.. Frencham was seen several
days later, but no trace of Mrs
Frencham has been found.
