Mother Took the Little Girl to See
 the Dolls.

dropped off, or little brother Johnnie picked the wax off the eyelids, and sister was consoled by promising her a new head. Mother took her to a department store where there was as large a display of doll heads as of dolls. There were china heads, metal heads, and heads of na1ier- mache There were heads with wigs and some without. There were those with parted lips and dainty teeth showing, while others hid their smiles behind firm mouths and star ing eyes.
 One thing these varied heads had in common. Their necks widened into four-square bibs front and back with holes at the corners for apply ing the needle to the old body. The bodies in those days were of cloth, their inner substance sawdust. Where now are those torsos that could withstand endless repairing, fresh saWdust, and new heads?
 They probably found their way to the astic in time and sister was promised a whole new doll. Then aer trip to the department store was a matter of deciding between a dressed" and an "undressed" dolly. Mothers preferred the latter because they would bear closer in- spection as to materials and work manship. Dolly's clothes were cas- fly made out of the family scrap-bag or by the willing hands of the family seamstress, who did the job for rec reation. Moreover, the undressed doll cost a little less. But sister liked to finger over those in silks and satins with poke-bonnets and plumes covering their golden curls. They wore petticoats and often they held their fragile fingers in tiny muffs of mink and sable.

& Trust Co.. pleaded guilty yesterday
to two indictments which charged he

funds.
Federal Judge William E. Baker de-
ferred sentence.
At the same time, Richmond. Va,
court directed E. T. Snead to pay the
closed bank SOS, 900, with notation he
had been relieved of any criminal re-
sponsibility in connection with the in
stitution's shortage, which Ranking
Commissioner George Ward said ap-
proximated 100000
The bank closed September /.
Snead and Russell were named in

missing assets. Snead was charged
with knowingly receiving bank funds
from Russell
Funds Attached.
The Richmond Court attached So
o92.S0 in the Central National Bank
and $31 .96l.l4 in the First and Mer-
chants National Bank, which was on
deposit to Snead's account
The court order said that the COM
plainants, after investigation, were
satisfied that .'Snead was and is not
involved in any of the alleged GRIM
inal activities of j. r. Russell"
Russell, arrested in Harrisburg, Pa,
two days after the bank closed, told
Judge Baker he did not want an at
torney before entering his plea. He
was advised by the court to talk to
Attorney E. L. Maxwell of Elkins, who
came in at the courts request After
short conference, Russell entered
guilty pleas to all counts in the two
indictments.

At Martinsburg Judge Decatur H.

rectors Of the closed bank a tenn
porary order which restrained the
sale of the bank building at public
auction today by the Federal Deposit

they wished to organize new bank
Ing house which would assume GER
tain obligations of the defunct in

Commissioner Ward at Charleston
said the F.. D. I. c. and the State
department intended to seek disso-
luton of the injunction. He assert
ed it was the desire of the two gov

bank, and sale of the building would
necessarily be part of that pro-
eeeding.
Mr.. Ward has stated that "as it
now appears" depositors would re-
ceive 80 per cent of their funds.
