EVER notice that the southeast cor

rear and side walls?
The reason Is explained by Newsmar.
Henry Sweinhart-and the story is
family reminiscent OF the swap by
which Manhattan Island passed out of
ownership Of the Indians.
When the Fourth Estate got ready to
purchase ground for a home at FOUR
teenth and r streets it was discovered
that at the west side, along the old
Ebbitt House, was dead-end alley,
running In from Pennsylvania ave-
niue. Even newspaper men realized
while alleys might have their uses,
the presence Of one in the middle OF
building would not make for an
architectural gem. So, here's where
the trade came in.
In return for the District closing up
that much Of that alley as infringed
on the site Of the prospective Press
Club-a right sizable plot-the jour-
nalistic swappers agreed to turn over
a small triangular piece of ground at
the other end Of their property which
would allow the District to widen a
narrow alley running through that
portion Of the block-a needed better
ment. That, Of course, moved the
building line back to the base" of
the triangle and necessitated the fiat
construction.

the gun and made the mistake Of
taking it into the press room, where
1t was promptly confiscated by the

As his first experiment, the reporter
walked up behind Lieut.. c. p. Cox
of the Detective Bureau. placed the
muzzle in the middle of that ofiicials
back and said. Put 'em up, you rat. "
The experiment was O success.
Lieut.. Cox whirled, reaching for his
revolver. The reporter hastened to
explain it was all joke and, with the
lieutenant placated, returned the toy
to the boy, who is still interested in it,
even if the reporter is not.

Kitchen Frocks

Cooking can play havoc with
dresses and frockS no matter how
careful the cook may be, and the
matter of kitchen wearing appar-
el is an important one in the life
OF the housewife and therefore has
a proper place in the free cooking
school to be held tomorrow at the
Woman IS Ten Thousand club.
1t is essential that the housewife
make an attractive appearance, yet
it is not economy to wear expensive
frocks. Realizing this the j. C.
Penney company has designed a
smart and inexpensive wash frock
especially for kitchen wear.
This type of dress will be worn
by Nina Ct. Abbey, who will conduct
the cooking school, to demonstrate
their dependability and their at
tractiveness. Even after repeated
washings the dresses retain their
charm and attractiveness. BY u.s.
ing them the housewife need not
have that awful fear of making an
unpresentable appearance when an
swering the doorbell, or the equal
ly distressing shock Of running an
expensive dress.

quently ignored, not only by the
men Of the family but by some
women, who wonder why they are
so tired long before their work day
is ended.
Often the answer is to be found
in uncomfortable shoes, which
prompt fatigue and often bring on
serious injury to the health.
The housewife must be on her
feet a great deal Of the day, par
ticularly when there is cooking to
be done. It is essential that the
shoes she wears should be comfort
able and so designed as to relieve
the strain which causes the eX-
treme fatigue Of which so many
housewives complain.

Refrigeration

Ice, unquestionably the most pop

rank at all times of the year, is
still a fayorite with many for
household refrigeration, particular
ly in preserving food supplies.
The Pure Ice company, which is

emphasizes the desirability Of ice
for refrigeration, keeping foods in
their proper moist state and avoid
ing anything that may contaminate
them.

Butfer-Krust Bread
Chosen For School

Butter-K -Krust bread, popular with
thousands of Imperial Valley fam
lilies, will be used at the Nina G..
Abbey free cooking school at the
Ten Thousand club tomorrow and
Friday.
This bread, baked locally by the
Cramer Baking company, has been
tried and approved by thousands OF
housewives, who find it not only a
substantial food for the family
table, but, because of its economy,
is really cheaper than the old-fash-
ioned method of home-baking. with
all the labor it imposed on the
housewife.
Butter-K1ust bread conforms to
the most exacting demands of all
food laws, and is untouched by hu-
man hands from the initial mixing
of ingredients until it is opened
for use in the home.
"Bread is rightly called the
staff Of hfe',' says Miss Abbey,
and it is essential that it be good
bread. We are going to use Cram
er's Butter-Krust bread at the
cooking school, secure in the ll1owl-
edge that it will meet with the
hearty approval of the women who
know. -

There is," Miller muttered. "mOre than one way of killing q pig" He burrowed deeper into the morris chair and twisted his body to bring the book under the rays of the reading lamp. And of winning a family argument too, for that matter" he assured him self.
 Nose buried deep in the book, he snaked one slipper-clad foot out for the footstool and smothered a painful oath when a favored corn struck the leg of the radio cab- inet.
 The battered leather slipper fell to the floor as Miller crossed his legs to bring the afflicted spot within reach of soothing finger. Miller glared at the foot. Peeping out as though to lead his brothers on q tour of exploration. his big toe protruded cautiously through great hole in his sock.
 Miller stared off at the shadows across the room, musing. The time of decision was at hand. How long had this silent warfare been going on? Almost two weeks now. And Rose didn't appear to be weaken ing at all. Stubborn, that's what she was. Neglecting her wifely duties for the sake of principle.
 That hole in his sock was an ex- ample. now. For two weeks he had been running around with gaping socks, shirts minus buttons; eating cold leftovers for supper. getting his own breakfast. Well. when Rose became stubborn she didn't do it by halves.
 Miller arose painfully and re- trieved the footstool from q far corner of the room. Settling him. self In the chair once more. book in hand, he frowned sternly. thinking.
 He had been right, after all. There Just wasn't enough money for them to hire q maid. What diff ference did Junior make? Miller's mother had raised seven kids and done all the housework besides. Real work, too--farm work. That meant labor in her generation. No janitors to fix the fires. no milk man with the morning bottles, no grocery deliveries-- And here was Rose, putting on the martyr scene just because of one baby.
 Well. Miller grinned, it wouldn't be a fight of endurance much long, CT. Brains. That's what won bat ties, even family ones.
 Miller chuckled and rapidly turned the pages of the book. Prof Benes had the right dope. Mind over matter; power of suggestion. There it was, page 76.
 "Women are especially suscepH- ble to mental suggestion" he read. 'In the psychopathic ward of q hospital recently one habitual alcoholic, woman, was cured of her taste for liquor by the physician in charge.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-01-18

Power of suggestion. The scien- tifc method! Miller dropped the book into his lap, a pleased smile on his lips. Of course, he couldn't take q chance on offering to read Rose to sleep. In the present state of warfare she would immediately become suspicious. But if he got her while she was just dropping off
 The book said that the mind was most susceptible just when sleep was approaching before the patient became completely unconscious, but not while she was sufficiently awake to recognize that treatment was being applied.
 Miller glanced at his watch and calculated. Rose should be just about dropping off now.
 Cautiously Miller. replaced the fallen slipper, then thought bet ter of 1t and removed 1t and its brother. Mustn't make any noise. No leather heels on this expedition. He snapped out the reading lamp and groped through the darkness to his wife's bedroom.
 Ghastly dark in there. he thought. bracing his hand against the door -jamb. Mustn't lose his sense of direction. Quiet-mustn't wake Junior either. Right across the room to the bed
 His hand twitched out expcgi- mentally and encountered an up- right of the bed frame. There it was. The head of the bed. No, didn't seem high enough. Must be the foot. No, the hcad--darn 1t, why did his wife insist on having the bed out in the middle of the floor like this anyhow? If there were only wall near by

He wet his hand, the better to feel the breath. Now, he'd just keep his hand there and he'd be able to tell if his voice awakened her, for the rhythm of her breath would change. The sci- entific method, he applauded him. self.
 Bending his head close to the testing hand, he spoke in hoarse whisper:
 We don't want maid! We can't afford maid! And you must darn your husbands socks. Be- cause we can't afford maid. We"
 "Well!" Miller's whisper froze against his tonsils.
 Well" his wlfe's voice repeated You don't need to prejudice the baby"
 She snapped on the light and Miller saw himself, head cooked over Juniors crib at the foot of the bed, conscious of his wife's eyes boring q question into his backk.

DAILY SHORT STORY ARTFUL SCIENCE Power of Suggestion in Domestic Argument Led Miller to an Unforeseen Conclusion

This eminent man used the follow ing method. Every night he read the patient to sleep, using some light novel for the purpose. But just as the woman was beginning to doze the doctor abandoned the book, and, without changing the tone of his voice, repeated these sentences to the patient:
 "'You do not like alcohol You cannot stand the taste of alcohol. Alcohol makes you deathiy sick. You will not drink alcohol again.
