State Park Commission
Election Try Fails

ROCKVILLE, Md, Dec. 15.-
The Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
failed in it's attempt to eject
Michael P. and William j. Gala
CHAN from a five-acre strip of land
in Rock Creek Park yesterday
when a jury in circuit court found
for the defendants.
The strip of land is about so
feet wide where it begins, about a
quarter of a mile north of the
District line, and about 95 feet
wide where it terminates near the
District boundary.
DISCOVERED" LAND
The Callaghan brothers, who
owned some property adjoining
the strip, had cultivated and cared
for the land for several years.
They discovered, in 1911. while
having some lots surveyed, that it
did not belong to any one. They
then named it "Callaghans' Dis
covery."
Failing to purchase the land
about two years ago for park pur-
poses, the Park and Planning
Commission sought and obtained a
patent from the State giving them
a title to the strip, and in turn
named it "CallaghanS' Disap-
pointment."
JURY FAVORS BROTHERS
However, a jury of Montgomery
county residents after hearing
neighbors of the brothers testify
that they had cultivated the land
for more than so years, ruled in
favor of them and set aside the
patent claim of the Planning Com
mission.
The elated brothers Immediately
announced they would change the
name of the property to "Callag-
hans DELIGHT"

Why should the remembrance of the

send icy prickles crawling up her
spine and coasting down?
Brooke thoughtfully smoothed the
lace of her dinner frock, lace the
very shade of the high lights in her
hair. If this were a movie, there
might be a trick cupboard in the
green paneling in which the silver
had been hidden, but there was
nothing so exciting here. She had

bars of his square cage.

Cause Of Hail

Hail, differing from sleet, is not
an exclusive by-product of winter.
1t results when an upward gust of
wind carries raindrops high
enough to freeze. They fall, pick
up more water, are again lifted,
frozen. A little more of that and
the stones are heavy enough to
fall straight to earth.
The most severe hailstorms
have occurred in tropical coun-
tries. South Africa probably has
the most dangerous. Stones weigh

+ ADY, lady, lady have you any
IL thing in wool? Smart women
everywhere are clamoring for
wool. They're wearing it to work
in, to play in, to date in, to 60 to
church in. Yes, wool is going
places! Sew-Your-Own is here to-
day (and will be here tomorrow
with three ultra smooth new
models for you to choose from

poor little lady without something

That something in WOOL might
well and easily be the handsome
model at the left above. Espe-
cially does a weightier fabric need
slim lines and here you have them
pared down to hairline precision.
The Upper from throat to hemline
gives this frock additional chic,

care of that all-important need for
contrast. French wine, black,
duck green, and gendarme blue
are the popular colors.

Youth and the blouse m skirt

size range: IA to AZ. And because
it is figure fattering every size is
benefited. Acetate crepe is lovely
for the blouse; velvet or thin wool
is smart for the skirt.
For Busy Body.
If you're a busy body or a lady

CHAPTER vi

Brooke stood before the fire in the
softly lighted living-room at Look
out House. Three days had passed
since she had received the letter
offering her the Palm Beach posi-
ton, since she had heard that the
Hunts were the proprietors of the
f1l1ing-station she had been patron
izing. She had refused promptly
the business offer and had dropped
it from her mind, but she couldn't
forget the other. Sometimes she
wondered if she would ever think of
anything else. Questions were ever
lastingly popping up. Had Lola Hunt
gone to Mark Trent's house to tell
him about it, or had he known al
ready? Why later had the woman
been talking so confdentially to
Henri at the garden door of Lookout
House? What had she meant by:
IF you keep level head we can't
lose, Henri? What was behind that
snapped off "wit" of Mark Trent's?
Why was she spending a mo-
ment's thought on Mark Trent's
problems? Hadn't she plenty of her
own? She frowned at the empty
gilt cage. Where was Mr.. Micaw-
Der? When she had come in this
afternoon, Henri had been wringing
his hands. He had gone completely
French as he chartered, but she had
gathered from the jargon that when
he had stepped out on the lawn
with the parrot on his shoulder, the
door had banged behind him and
the frightened bird had flown away.
1t wasn't that she cared for the par
rot, she detested him, but Mrs.
Dane had loved him and she felt
as if she had broken faith with her
benefactress.

that you don't pick it up!"
Brooke laughed. 81 had no idea

"He wouldn't do that, Sam, though

FIELD WORK COMPLETED

Almost all the field work in con-
nection with the 1887 conservation
program has been completed and a
good portion Of the field work nee
essary for the 1888 program is also
finished according to the county
agents office. st. Cloud. Almost all
of the work necessary, by farm re-
porters in Connection with the first
and second compliance reports were
brought to close before November
1st Only a limited number of visits
were made after that time. Since
November 18th the appraisal or
land survey reports for 1888 were
made by these same farm reporters
on more than 1000 farms Of the
county. These appraisal or survey
reports were sent to the state office
for checking and will be forwarded
from there to Washington for calcu-
lation.
From now on the task before the
county office consists of the COM
pletion of the summary of per-
formance and the application for
grant for all the farms in on the
program. This Is proceeding as
rapidly as possible and payments
for the 1887 program will probably
be made little earlier in the year
than for the year 1896.
