him place my bets because father,
for some reason, liked him"
Carol was relieved when they
boarded the train for Baltimore
Hartley had important business and
must stay in New York. She liked
having him with her, of course, but
she was always afraid that Duke
would get him to bet, also she was
systematic about her betting and
worked hours each day over dope
sheets, turf records and racing forms.
There was no other reason, OF course,
why she felt glad when he said he
wouldn't be able to see her for several
weeks-of course. there wasn't, she
said to herself. But she was vaguely
worried.
1t was racing special and crowded.
Carol, as soon as Hartley had left
the compartment, took out her papers
and settled down to pick her horses
for the next day, but there was so
much noise in the club car she could
not concentrate.
Clear with light winds is the
forecast" she muttered, that means
a dry track, and at Narraganset, Night
Flight ran 3 furlongs in 1895 on a
muddy track. That makes him good
for-"she stopped abruptly and
shouted to Rosetta, Cant they stop
that noise, ever. the hoodlums? How
can dope this out with that in
fernal noise going on?"
Bound to be racket, honey,
when that Miss O'Malley and Nh.
Duke are together. Minute she lays
her eye on him, before he speaks
even, she begins laughing and soon
as he speaks, she hollers"
Il can't stand it, Carol said.
Give up your handicapping for
a while, honey" said Rosetta. You
look plumb worn out. I'll dream you
a horse tonight have a hunch III
dream hot shot for you"
Ask Mr.. Bradley to come In 4
minute. please" she said
Rosetta rose from the corner, laid
down her knitting and went to the
door. Before she went out she said !:
you got a pencil smudge on your
cheek, honey child"
What about it? I'm busy"
Just thought you mightn't want
Mr.. Duke to see you not looking
your prettiest"
Don't be ridiculous. And do as ]
told you"
She bent over her papers. Then
hurriedly. almost guiltily she reached
for her vanity case, rubbed the mark
of, powdered her nose and patted
her hair.
Mr.. Bradley" she said stifly

Tip O'Brien. still Dukes adoring
sheet writer, was worried.
Il wish we could lose that dame"
he muttered one day. She must
have the evil eye or something-it
amt natural for any one to rake it
in the way she's doing. I don't like
her anyway. High-hatting every one
in sight. Glue on her hands she
has"
Tip" said Duke. I've told you
about the law of averages 4 million
times. What's the matter with you
anyway? You've been with me, man
and boy, for quite a spell now and
you've never missed meal you
needed or drink you didn't, have
you?"
Il wish that guy who's fool enough
to want to tie up for life with her
would come and drag her by the
hair of her head to the nearest altar.
That would be the happiest day Of
my life-so far"
Hartley went to the races a num-
Der OF tlmeS WIN carol. But with
out being at all shrewsh, without
seeming too insistent, she saw to it
that he did not bet She said she
was the expert-didn't her record
show it?-and she would do all the
betting, please. Days when Hartley
was at the races, Carol would be
almost pleasant to Duke He knew
she was gloating over the fact that
Hartley was not placing bets with
him, but she never could annoy him
into being anything but his laughing,
carefree self.
why don't you like Duke?" Hart
lay asked one day. Seems q nice

She always told herself she would

would be polite, of course, butt most,

TURN TO DOLLS
IN CHILD STUDY

Mannequins used for demonstra-
lions in nursing and child care
studies have been added to the
list of approved materials and
equipment to be used in the Dis
trict's public schools.
This action was taken yesterday
by the District Board of Educa-
ton following an explanation of
how the learn-by-doing principle
of teaching, favored by modern
educators, has taken place of the
routine book studies in home eco
Monies classes in Washington.
These mannequins, however, are
not ordinary dolls, but are of tive
sizes to resemble the five-year-old
child and the four-month-old in
FAINT. Miss Emma Jacobs, director
of home economics, explained that
it was important that these dolls
be as lifelike as possible. She
added that there are many reasons
why the human infant cannot be
used in these demonstrations.

CRIME SURVEY
HITS COURT
CR0WD|NG

The United States District
Court, which handles all felony
prosecutions in the District, Is
overburdened with many cases
which are strictly Federal in char
acter, it was revealed today in an
analysis of the recent report OF the
Crime Commission.
Moreover, it was pointed out,
the figures in the commission re-
port are never constant but fluc-
tuate from week to week, finally
dwindling to a point at the close
of the spring term Of court where
less than a dozen prisoners are
awaiting court action at the be-
ginning of the summer recess.
67S In Jail Here
Figures of the commission show
ing a Jail population Of 673 as OF
last Saturday night, Of which 256
were felony cases pending in the
District Court, showed a slight in
crease over the week ended April
26, it was stated by United States
Attorney Leslie c. Garnett this
morning, but are not unusual at
this time of the year.
With the District Grand Jury
reporting felony indictments at
the rate of rs to 100 week, it
is natural that there will be some
congestion at times, Colonel Gar
nett said, especially when some
cases in which the defendants are
on bond require more than one
week Of trial.
The two branches Of criminal
court, for instance, have been tied
up with prolonged trial bond
cases within the past two months,
the chief prosecutor said.
Long Trials Cited
Trial of Fred B. Rhodes, former
head of local buckingham aSSo-
citation, required a week on each
Of the trials, it was pointed out;
the trial of two persons, concluded
last week, on charges of black
mail, required one week; the trial
Of DR.. F. E. Townsend, old-age ad-
vocate, for contempt of the House,
took more than week although
the case was not local one; the
trial Of bank teller charged with
embezzlement has been in progress
for more than week and Monday
Justice F. D. Let's will begin hear
ing evidence in the trial of group
Of officials of the Railway Audit
and Inspection Bureau for con-
tempt of the La Toilette commit
tee, which is expected to take two
weeks of trial time.
Meanwhile, colonel Garrett
said, the Jail cases are piling up,
but relief is in sight.
Within two weeks, a third jus
tice will be transferred to the
climinal division and the annual
concentration on the Jail cases will
begin in order that the jail docket
will be cleared by the beginning of
the summer recess.

The ink is just about drying on
q contract which not only raises
wages for journeymen bakers and
helpers, but also provides advan-
tages hitherto denied the en-
ployes.
The employers-and every bak-
cry Of more than small size here
is 100 per cent unionized-have
agreed to an increase Of three
cents an hour for journeymen and
five cents for helpers. This raises
the bakers to $1.25 an hour for
night work and $1.o5 for day
shifts.
Both the bakers and helpers are
given something new-an annual
vacation of one week with pay.
And the compact also provides an
innovation salient to union men
in a clause requiring the place
ment of the union label on all bak-
cry goods weighing more than
one-half pound.
During the conferences between
the employers and employees,
which saw various compromise
plans swept away time after time,
Charles B. McClosky represented
the workers and L. A. SpiesS the
baking firms.
