she could hear the sound OF unfa-
miliar voices not far from her bedside.
To Jerry the words Of the women were
merelv a soft, pleasant, undistinguish-
able murmur, but the voice of the
man penetrated deeper into her con-
sciousness.
She heard him say, "Oh, the other
two will be all right in time. but tn
girl will never walk again"
Never walk again! 1t semed to
Jerry that the room reverberated over
and over again with the words. Never
walk again! But 1t couldn't be pos
sible that he meant her! Why the
hospital was full of other people
A THING like that just couldn't
happen to Jerry Carter. What
was that he had said? That Jack and
NanCy-but he hadn't mentioned any
names-he had said "the other two
That could mean anybody.
She tried to raise her head from
the pillow to call to them, to demand
that they tell her, but two restraining
hands gently held her.
There, now, you mustn't try to get
up so SOON" Now she could see the
pleasant face under the nurses white
cap. You need nice long rest after
that terrible accident you were in.
You hao quite a shock. you know.
Besides / have very pleasant surprise
for you-a visitor I know you must
be very anxious to see"
Before Jerry could voice the question
that was on her lips the nurse had
left the room and there was Jack COM
ing toward her. Jerry noticed that
his head and arm were heavily
bandaged and he walked with a slight
limp.
The nurse told me I could only
stay minute" he began. Il wanted
to come to see you sooner, but they
told me that you were still uncon-
scious. Gosh, Jerry, I don't know
what to say about this. I feel that it
was my carelessness that caused you
and Nancy all this suffering anu I'll
never forgive myself. I don't know
whether you'll ever care to look at me
again, but you know how I feel about
you, and nothing vii change that
ever"
You mustn't feel that you were to
blame, Jack. You were driving the
car. but it might have happened to
any one of us. It's just one of those
things-that's all Now run along
home like a god boy and come to see
me tomorrow. I'll be expecting you"
A FTER Jack had left, Jerry lay with
her eyes shut. her head In a
whirl. He had said hat nothing could
ever change his love for her, yet how
could he continue to care for her if
she were helpless, girl who would be
nothing but burden to him all his
life? One of the most beautiful phases

LIVESTOCK RAISERS S E L L

Livestock producers of Maryland,

per cent of live stock to their CO.
operative commission association at
the Baltimore yards during May this
year than they did during the cor
responding month of last year, ac-
cording to F. L. Miles, manager of
the farmers marking organization.
The Baltimore agency is one of the
three agencies of the Eastern Live
Stock Cooperative Association, others
being located at Jersey City and
Lancaster.
Producers of 1901 Maryland's %
counties have used the Baltimore
market during the first five months
of the year, according to Mr.. Miles,
and each month the volume has ex-
ceeded the corresponding month of
1885.

CURTAINS!!

Jim Jones lives out in the country,
twenty miles from his office, and
drives to work daily. The drive
takes place largely on modern
highway, with the last few miles
confined to busy streets.
The drive can be made safely in
about thirty-five minutes. But Jim
would feel ashamed of his record if
he ever took that long. So, by step
ping on her. hard, he manages to
make it in twenty-five minutes, and
sometimes less. The other day, in
fact, he did it in twenty-five min
utes over the time taken by more
conservative pilots.
That saving of time is great boon
to Jim. 1t permits him to spend ten
or fifteen minutes talking about golf
to the boys at the cigar stand, or
reading the funny papers. And the
day he made his record he spent the
saved time, plus quite few minutes
more, Boosting about it.
OF course, Jim has to weave in and
out of traffic occasionally, cursing
the slow-pokes who move along at
sedate forty-fve. And sometimes he
has to steal right of way. Now and
then he misses a crash by an inch,
and after the first flush of nervous
ness passes, he chuckles to himself
about what good driver he is.
Once he did have a minor accident,
but the insurance company paid for
that.
There are a good many thousand
Jim Joneses driving cars in this
country They go on for years with
nothing happening to them-and
then the inevitable occurs.

THE RELIEF PLAN OF THE
MORMONS

The decision of the Mormon
Church to find useful work for up
wards of 10000 breadwinners among
it's membership will be followed with
much interest.
No other Church in the United
States so far has undertaken TO as
sumo the full responsibility of car
ing for its unemployed members.
1t is thought that the urge behind
this movement of the Church is the
fear of a breakdown in the moral
fibre of it's members and in their
attitude toward work because of
their dependence on federal funds.
In commenting on the new plan,
Mr.. ]. Reuben Clark, one of the
Church leaders, stated, that they
found that idleness kills everything
fine in a man." and that the Church
had observed, a spiritual decline
among its idle members. He added
in support of the Church movement,
that men who had mo conjunction
in taking aid from the Government"
will be less likely to loaf when use
full work is afforded them as an alter
native to charity.

LOTTERY SCHEMES ALLEGED IN
SALE OF CANDY

The Federal Trade Commission
has recently issued complaints
against two more candy concerns,
alleging that their sales methods in
volve lottery schemes which tend to
divert to themselves trade from com
petitors who do not use similar
methods in the sale of their products.
One of the concerns is the Vogan
Candy Corporation of Portland, Ore,
and the other is Ostler Candy Com
pany, Salt Lake City, Utah.
The use of punchboard and push
card schemes in which the element
of chance enters is alleged in these
cases.
The Commission fixed June 26,
1886, as the final date on which the
Vogan Candy Corporation could
show cause why an order to cease
and desist from the practice COM
planned of should not be issued.
July II, 1886, is the date named for
like action by the Ostler Candy Com
pany.

HEALTH CONSERVERS AND TIME
SAVERS

Health conferences for the exami-
nation of prospective first graders in
preparation for their admission to
school in the fall are under way in
every part of the State. If your
Jack or Betty will reach school age
this year, and is among those who
will start on the road to the three
RS in the fall, don't wait until the
end of the summer to make the
necessary preparations. First of ALL
be sure the children are in the best
possible condition physically. Take
them to your own doctor for a COM
plete physical checking up. If you
haven't a doctor find out from your
County Health Officer when and
where the child health conferences
are being held-and have Jack-or
Betty-examined at the nearest child
health conference. This is the com
posite advice of DR.. r. H. Riley, Di-
rector of the State Department of
Health and of County Departments
of Health and of County Depart
ments of Health and of Education.
1.-The examination of children be-
fore they enter school,, DR.. Riley
added, sis a very important part of
their introduction to school life. The
school records show that children in
good health complete their school
work more readily and make better
progress than those do who are
hampered by i'll health, bad eyes,
dull hearing or some other unfavor-
able condition.
"In the preschool examinations
particular attention is paid to
points" that have direct bearing
upon the general health and normal
growth of the child-such as the
child's weight posture, heart, lungs,
hearing, vision, condition of the nose
and throat, and of the teeth.
Prompt discovery and correction
of unfavorable conditions will help
to safeguard child against avoid
able physical handicaps. In that re-
spect these preschool examinations
become both health conservers and
time savers.
Don't forget that both Jack and
Betty must be vaccinated against
smallpox before they can be enrolled
in any public school in the State. If
they have not been protected against
diphtheria, take them to your doctor
and have that done, also, before they
start to school.
Vaccination against smallpox is
compulsory. 1t is required by our
State law AS result of the careful
enforcement of this law we hear very
little about smallpox in Maryland
and we have to remind parents that
children who have not been vaccinat-
ed will be excluded from school. We
have had only one case of smallpox
in Maryland in five years but the
disease is very prevalent in other
parts of the country, especially in
sections where vaccination is not re-
quired. Anybody who has not been
vaccinated, is likely to contract the
disease if exposed to it."

Three minute Standardization calls
to Cuba will be reduced $3.50 and
person-to-person calls correspondingly.
Reduced telephone rates to the
Philippines amount to SO on week days
and SIS on Sundays, to Hawaii Sc on
week days and $1,000 on Sundays, to
Colombia SO on week days and $3.50
on Sundays, and to the Dominican Re-
public Sc on week days and SO on
Sundays. Rates for additional minutes
of conversation will be reduced pro-
portionately, according to company
officials.
With the establishment of trans
ocean radio telephone service to Eu-
rope in 1927, three minute converse
ton between New York and London
cost $75. The rate was reduced to $40
in 1928 and to $50 in 1880. making a
total of three substantial reductions in
charges for transocean telephone serv-
ice since it's inauguration.

ADVENTURE
ana

MATING the same foods all the
IA time is as tiresome as taking
the same walk every day-or
reading the same book over and
over. Some foods, however, seem
to refuse to be boAes. Tomatoes,
for example. They're bright in
color and their enticing taste
lures you into new paths.
The Italians have found all
sorts of adventurous uses for
them, sauces that blend into excit-
ing fiavors; the French have put
them into salads that are as sim
pie as they are exquisite. Ameri-
cans are doing more and more
things that are adventurous with
tomatoes. They are baking them
with cheese or with mushrooms,
making them in picturesque little
individual casserole dishes, and
combining them with other vege-
tables to which they lend piquant
flavor.
Garden Grown and Canned
II you like to garden, set out
some twenty little tomato plants
and see how soon they will crop
forth with sixty or seventy red
tomatoes for your table. If you
haven't time to raise them your
self, eat the choicest tomatoes pos
sible to raise-those raised by the
canner-in some such recipe as
the following:
Tomato T3mbales aoith Cheese
Eo1ce: Combine the contents Of
one No. can Of tomatoes, one
slice of onion, one-half bay leaf,
three whole cloves, one-half tea
spoon salt, one teaspoon sugar and
a few grains Of pepper. Cook
gently for fifteen minutes and
then press through a sieve. Add
one-half cup Of soft bread crumbs
and two slightly-beaten eggs. Turn
into buttered timbale cases or Gus
tard cups and set in a pan Of hot
water. Bake for thirty to forty
minutes in an oven at 375 degrees,
or until a knife, inserted, comes
out clean. Turn out and pour
over them a very rich cheese
sauce. This serves four persons"
