"Oh, let's have a relaxing evening
at home" Adelia said I'm tired"
Julian was glad when Monday came
so he could get out OF the house. At
dinner that night he said: THE

Adelia shook her head You'd better

They didn't 60 to the party. They

He was sick OF the sight Of a book.
He wanted some excitement, some
thing to do that was different.
But to all his suggestions Adelia
made 4 negative reply. She had been
out In the afternoon and was tired
She was sick Of parties. She wanted
to stay home and read.
Julian stood 1t two more days.

Why don't you go out by yourself?"

it again. That was the very thing
he had intended to threaten her with.
Now that she had suggested 1t herself,
1t had somehow lost its effect. He
stalked from the room. Ten minutes

Listen. Del, I'm sorry. You win.
For heavens sake be reasonable"
Adelia looked at him thoughtfully
Are you quite sure?"

her. I'm a chump"
She smiled a genuine smile for the

CHECK PATRONS

Officials Seek to Prevent

Those on HanSa.

NEW YORK, August 28.-United
States Public Health officials began
today a systematic check OF nearly
l,0c0 passengers who left the Ham,
burg American liner Hansa after it
docked without reporting illness among
the crew.
DR.. William H. Best, assistant COM
missioner OF health, announced that
Health Department laboratory tests
showed one positive case Of typhoid
fever among the 20 members OF the
crew now i'll.
Each passenger Of the liner rs
asked to submit to an examination, al
though Federal and city health au-
thorities said there was little danger
Of an alarming spread OF the disease,
diagnosed at first as typhoid or para
typhoid fever.
DR.. Best said confirmation of one
case Of typhoid does not necessarily
mean all the sick crew members are
affected. Other tests are being made
Four hundred crew members were
kept aboard the vessel and given blood
tests by which doctors hoped to locate
the carrier"
The ship had received a radio
pratique'-permiAsion to clear Quar-
antine without stopping-after the
Kansas surgeon. DR.. Helmuth Paul
Otto Grieshaber, messaged by wire
less yesterday there were no infectious
diseases aboard.
His report was described by DR..
Charles V. Akin. head OF the United

ton on Staten Island. as a fragrant
violation Of the United States health
laws"
DR.. Akin attacked as absurd" a
statement by DR.. Grieshaber, who was
making his first trip as the Hansa s

symptoms among the sick seamen were
only the effects of fumigating gas.

To our taste, these berries are very

nutlet hidden under the juicy Jacket
Is brown and hard. It terminates
easily.
The chokeberry tree is q cousin to
the pears, apples and many other
fruits. She is also close relative OF
the beautiful mountain ash. It Is
wonderful how botany clears up mys-

Of the shrubby, little chokeberry be-

A DELLA was stubborn. And no one

he could be stubborn, too They didn't
go to the party and neither OF them
called the Randalls to explain. Julian
sat around in his smoking jacket and
slippers and enjoyed himself. This

Portable, relaxed evening. He went to
