RALEIGH, Feb. ls.-The coun-
ty option liquor bill went to a
conference committee of house
and senate yesterday after the
house refused to accept amend
ments made in the senate.
= Amendments made in the meas.
ure in the upper house included
the setting up of law enforcement
agencies under sheriffs to prevent
illegal sales, prohibition of drink
ing at football games or any other
place of public assembly; provi-
sion that no township voting dry
should have a liquor store even
when the county is wet, except
county seats; require uniform

little trouble. Speaker Cherry, of

Zoos Oldest
Elephant
Buried
Babe is dead and buried.

Babe is dead and buried.
The big, good-natured elephant
which had delighted thousands
and thousands of children at the
Washington Zoo since she went
there to make her home in 1884,
died of old age yesterday.
Last night they lowered her into
a huge grave near the elephant
house. She was so large that it
was necessary to disSect her for
burial.
Babe was SO years old, and for
almost half a century had been
with the Barnum and Bailey
Circus. Old-timers will recall that
she used to lead the circus pa
rades.
When she grew too old for &C.
tive service with the circus. she
was presented to the zoo. Sun
day she collapsed, and attendants
said the end was near.
Now there are only two young
elephants to move to the new
100000 elephant house nearing
completion at the ZOO.

Long Swim
LegLess Man Seeks
155-MiLe Mark

ALBANY, N. Y, August II
UNS0.-The unprecedented feat
Of swimming the Hudson River
from Albany to New York, a dis
lance Of 155 miles, will be at
tempted Monday by Charles
Jimmy, A, who lost both his legs
at nine.
Jimmy, rather than being
handicapped claims his lack of
legs Is an aid in the water.
Being without legs" he ex.
planned today, my body is very
buoyant and it is easy for me
to float along the currents just
like a cork"
He estimated the swim would
take about eight or 10 days dur
ing which time, he said. he would
eat and sleep in the water. He
insisted he could do this without
discomfort because OF the buoy
ancy of his body.
Since being run over by a cable
car in Chicago, Jimmy has gone
on to q worldwide reputation as
an endurance swimmer. He holds
the present endurance record of
swimming for 100 hours which
he established in Honolulu pool
on July 81, 1881. A few months
before he aStonished the natives
Of the South Seas by swimming
for 81 hours in Suva, Fiji Islands.
The record longest swim is held
by Padra A. Candiotti, 40, who
swan 281 miles from Santa Fe to
Zarate, on the Parana River, Ar.

COLD FOR MEAT
BeItsviIIe Experiment
Farm Makes Tests

d.N.SJ The Department OF
Agriculture is going to see how
quick and how hard it can freeze
pork chops and beef steak-and
how long it can keep them that
way.
Freezing Of meats is nothing
new. It's been done for years in
the packing industry. But to test
the new quick-treezing system
the agricultural experts call 1t
sharp freezing'-the Bureau OF
Animal Industry is going to in
stall a low-temperature freezing
station at its experimental farm
at BeltSville, Nd.
Part of the equipment already
has been ordered, DR.. K. F.
Warner of the bureau said today.
bur it will be late fall or winter
before the plant is ready for
operation.
80 TO 10 BELOW ZERO
With the new equipment. the ex'
perts will be able to attain a
temperature of so to 10 degrees
below zero!
Heretofore, most meat freezing
has been done at temperatures
ranging from 10 to 20 below zero,
and that, with pork in particular
hasn't been so good. For by the
slow.freeZing methods, all OF the
parts of pork are not frozen SOLID.
They get to stirring around. ana
to use DR.. Warmers word for IL,
the pork becomes rancid"
1--WE are going to give the
sharp freezing m It h o d
thorough trial" Warner said to-
day. "By freezing the meats
solidly, it may be that they can
be preserved Tor a much longer
period Of time, in better condi-
ton. That is true particularly
of pork. We will try to find out
at what temperatures the best
results are obtained, and at
what storage temperatures they
WILL keep DeSC.
LONG USED FOR FISH
The quick-freezing method, how
ever, with the corresponding re-
ouirements for very low temper
allure storage facilities, is too cost
ly an experiment. as yet, for great
commercial use as far as most
products, and particularly meats,
are concerned, department Off

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

'If q divorced woman takes
hack her maiden name, Is it prop
er for her to use the title Mrs.
in front of her maiden name? +?
For example, If a Miss TrudeWelI
married q Mr.. Jones, and they
were divorced, anC she takes back
her maiden name, is. it proper for
her to can herself Mrs. Trude-
well? I do not think it is proper
to use Mrs. in front of her maiden
name. "READER."
The really proper form Of for
NAL name for divorce to use is
the .ast name Of her maiden name
prefixed to the surname of her
married name. So, with the
names you mention, her formal
name would be Mrs. Trudewell
Jones.
The next best form (and it is no
where nearly as correct as the
form I have just suggeSteO is for
her to use the initial of her first
name before this name-MrS. "A.
Trudewell Jones. The form Of
name she should avoid is Mrs.
On rare occasions I have known
Of a divorcee using the form of
Mrs. before her maiden name.
Usually, when this is done, the re-
quest to use this form of name
after her divorce should be made
when she gets her divorce. And
when. this form is used there is
usually some very definite and spe-

Beauty
Exercise and
Diet
BY DONNA GRACE

The slimminE business, in
which many of us are busily en-
gagged, may prove a little drastic
for the ones who have been mac
tive for any length Of time.
We are inactive when we put on
excess weight. Generally we are
blissfully comfortable in our lazy,
easy-going way until we realize
that something has changed our
figure.
Our slim, graceful silhouette has
gradually taken on the proper
tions and outline of an animated
series Of rubber tires.
When our friends tell us, "HOW
well you look! And so healthy"
we become exaSperated and say
"We'n take this ungainly weight
off before long and show them we
can be just SS slender and young
looking as they are"
This is CALLING indeed, but after
all it may be just the lash we need
to whip us out of our careless in
difference and lack Of pride. When
we are in such mood no course Of
dieting or exercise seems adequate.
We want a miraculous something
to change us at once. There must
be something we can take, some
medicine that will work like magic.
This, my children, is the time to
be swayed only by good common
sense and be satisfied to reduce in
a way that will not impair your
health or cause you unnecessary
discomfort. Exercises especially
should be done with only two or
three Of the numbers until the
tense muscles are timber and pill
able. This precaution will help to
avoid lameness, and after a few
days we can easily do whole set
of movements and be able to en-
joy them, too.
When we once make regular
habit Of these splendid exercises
we will wonder how we ever could
do without them. There will be a
new buoyancy and agreea 1'e light
ness about the body and also a
new grace in our movements.
Some of these exercises will also
increase the weight, If they are
combined with a diet Of fats and
starcheS. That means we must
have a reasonably restricted diet
I have such . diet which you
may have, and the exercises are
the NOrmalizing Exercises. These

What's in the
Market?

The markets now are offering
many seasonable fruits and vege-
tables.
Most of the vegetables have
dropped in price. Cucumbers, to-
matoes, and lettuce are all
cheaper. Potatoes are lower in
price and the new potatoes have
largely replaced the old ones.
Green and wax beans, cabbage,
peas, and spinach are all excel.
lent values.
Strawberries, blackberries, blue
berries, cherries, and melons are
side by side in the fruit stalls.
Early arrivals Of apricotS, peaches.
and plumS announce the first ar"
rival of summer fruits.
Fish Is plentiful. Poultry prices
are under last years price level.
Broilers, frying chickens, ducks
are of good value.
Veal and lamb continue as best
meat buys.

difference being in the powder
you use.
Complete Makeup
This particular house recon-
mends q protective cream, spread
evenly over the entire face, and a
finishing lotion which matches it,
on the face and arms. Over this
they suggest Peach Shade face
powder, which gives the skin a
beautifully natural golden glow,
rather than a yellow and orange
tint, which is apparent is so many
make-upS for the tanned skin.
If you prefer a darker make
up, you may substitute a Bru-
nette powder for the Peach Shade,
which gives a warm, attractive
tone. This is said to be very be-
coming to older women, as well
as young. Green eye shadow is
recommended with summer tan,
and brown mascara is best. This
makeup is waterproof, and af-
fords a great deal of protection
from the sun. Needless to say it
is very lasting.
