ITO the Good Citizens of Hender-

prominent street crossings and We
are having our officers TO make
a special effort to stop this un-
necessary speeding and reckless
driving.

cannot feel that the officers are
singing them out, for they are
only doing their duty in an effort
to make our city safe; so we are
asking our good citizens to coop
crate with the city officials to
make our city outstanding in care
full driving and consideration for
others, and am sure that our
good citizens do not want to be
summoned to police court for fast
and reckless driving.

No Violations OF

r. l.. Whitmirc, counsel for Mr..

none of the affiGavits "show or
tend to show any violation of
election laws or breach of duty
on the part of Mr.. Dermid.
at will be recalled" Mr.. Whit
mire said, that Mr.. Hill, who
seems to be the prime mover in
the cause, was the most active Re-
publican in the county in the cam
paign in gathering absentee bal
lots, having admitted on cross
examination before the county
board that he notarized approx
mately IT'S absentees. 1t is per-
haps fortunate for Mr.. Hill that
he is not required to answer for
the way and manner in which
many Of his ballots were handled.
1t is an undisputable fact, how
ever, that Mr.. Hill presented so
many signed applications for bal
lots to the board as to cause Of
ficials to question the genuineness
of many of the signatures"
ut seems" Mr.. Whitmire said,
"that an overwhelming majority
of Henderson Republicans have
accepted the defeat of Republican
candidates in fine spirit, as Demo-
Gratis have done after so many
elections. 1t is my deliberate
judgment that the rank and file
of the Republican party in this
county do not endorse the efforts
of a few Republicans, skeptical in
thought and peevish in the disap-
pointment of defeat, to besmirch
the good name and high character
of Mr.. Dermid at the expense of
the taxpayers Of Henderson coun-
ty."

Unusual Exhibit
In the quaint gallery in George
town, known as the Little Gallery,
there is an unusual exhibition this
month.
The work of Bernice Cross,
young Washington artist, is there
on exhibition, and to the admirers
of her type of work it should prove
an adventure in moderniStic
humor.
Miss Cross has a gaiety and in
souciance that are In themselves
attractive.
Her treatment, however, Is Of
the variety that might give rise
to comment among those critics
who don't relish the irregular and
unnatural.
Miss Cross has quite a following
in Washington, as well as else
where, and her oils are generously
distributed throughout the Gov
eminent art projects as well as in
private collections.
Usually she paints large can
vases, but because of the space
limitations in the Little Gallery,
her smaller canvaSes are being
shown at this particular showing.
The Little Gallery, located at
1904 o st. N. w., will show Miss
Cross paintings until January 4.
The gallery is open daily from
10 a. m. to p. m, and on Tues
days, Thursdays and Saturdays, it
is open again between 1880 and
p. m.

Strangely enough it is an en-
tirely different story OF those
years spent in China. For the
two of them, Andrew and Care
were totally different people. AS
her now famous daughter explains
it each saw most every incident
in life in a different way.
Although they lived together for
years, the story OF their lives IS
not the same.
Andrew was born on a farm and
his father wanted him to stay on
the land because, as his mother
said, he was the most reliable of
the brothers. But a missionary
came to speak in the town close to
them and Andrew felt "the cal" "
He left home at 81. He was a
scholar as we'll as a preacher and
turned his education and search
ing mind to translating the New
Testament from it's original Greek
into Chinese. He also translated
part of the Old Testament directly
from the Hebrew.
His missionary work, however,
was more spectacular than his lit
erary efforts. He travelled into the
interior of China on his call.
He saw villages that no other
white man had ever visited before.
He faced bandits, famine, epidem-
les and all the hazards that follow

Mckee Solves
Mystery

Inspector Mckee went to Eng.
land on a vacation. While he
was away the enormously wealthy
Fennimore Kingston inadvert-
emily gets himself shot. OF
course it probably wouldn't have
interested Inspector Mckee, the
great New York detective, half
as much if the bullet had not
been a fatal one.
First, of course, Mr.. Kingston
had so much money that it was
up to the police to do something
and do it darn quick. They did.
Katherine Kingston, the un-
fortunate wife of the victim, was
found in a dead faint beside her
husband. In her outflung hand
was a pistol. The police got busy
in the absence of Inspector Nc
Kee and indicted Mrs. Kingston
right off for the murder.
Inspector Mckee, if you remem'
ber him from some of the other
cases that he has unraveled, is
never more annoyed than when he
gets in on an "open-and-Shut
case" 1t usually means to this
modern Sherlock Holmes that it's
UP to him to open up something
that someone else has closed.
That is just what he does about
the Kingston case as soon as ne
gets back from the vacation.
Helen Reilly, the author, Just
gives Inspector Mckee a free rem
and soon enough he gets at the
bottom of the whole thing.

Zimmele Oils

Taking priority in the Arts Club
show are the Zimmele oils, and
these, it can be said honestly, are
nice.
Their nicely is inherent in sub
1ect matter, color and approach.
They are nice pictures OF babies,
horses and lotus flowers.
Some of the artists children's
nortraits are really lovely. They
have a rosineSS and cuddleSome
quality that is very appealing and
which could have been painted
only by a great lover Of children.
Her landscapes and other scenic
paintings have, for the most part,
gpring-grasS-greenishneSS that may
be attractive to some people and
a sracefulness that beSpeakS her
reluctance to see anything that
is the least bit out Of line.
She has a flai1" for romanti-
cizing the past, with the result that
her mt. Vernon Carriage En-.
trance" is a painting of the George
washington house with figures in
colonial costume adorning the en-.
trance.
over and above the fact that
this particular critic has an addic.
tion to water and ship paintings
it would seem regrettable that
Miss Zirnmele had failed to de-
velop this type of painting. The
few pictures of this kind that she
has done are remarkably vel
painted and show q greater skill
and depth than many Of the
others.
