can for your aunt without making
your family unhappy, but put all

to kiss his wife good-by.
The following Tuesday Aunt lib
by arrived and with her as usual
was the old cowhide trunk.
The first evening of Aunt lib
by's arrival Maize began, Bar
bara! do sit still! You'll make
Aunt libby nervous!" or "John!
don't walk so heavy!" Perhaps,
Bert, Aunt libby would like to
read the paper!" This before Bert
had finished the article he was in
terested in.
Aunt libby had been with them
several weeks when Bert, happen
ing to come home from business
earlier than usual one afternoon,
was met at the door by his wife.
81 wish you would go up and look
at Aunt Tibby," she cried anxious
ly. "I'm afraid that trip to town
in the cold yesterday was too Sc
we're for her. I wanted to send
for a doctor, but she wouldn't let
me-" Bert found Aunt libby so
i'll that he called the doctor, who
pronounced the trouble pneumo-
MIA. (Which at her age," said
he (Aunt libby was 86), sis a
serious matter. You had better
get nurse" Aunt libby had been
so humored by her niece, howev-
er, that the nurse could do little
to suit her, and Maize was obliged
to fetch and carry, to run up and
down stairs until, ten days later,
Aunt libby sank into her last
sleep.
After the funeral the relatives
who had gathered from far and
near demanded that the will be
read at once. So the old cowhide
trunk was brought down to the
living room and opened in the
presence of all. It contained IN

Grimm STAYS on Air

For the next three years Charlie
Grimm, former manager of Chi
cago's Cubs, expects to be telling
about what major league clubs are
doing instead of telling a major
league club what to do.
Grimm, who commented in July
that he got his First good nights
sleep" after Gabby Hartnett sue
ceeded him as manager of the Cubs,
turned down two offers to return
to baseball and signed a three-year
contract as a sports announcer for
Chicago radio station.
After the seasons end, Grimm
will vacation on his farm near St.
Louis, returning to the air to cover
the major and minor league meet
lngs and spring training camps on
a sponsored sports series.

passage in an assumed name. / pro-

to my rooms to tell him that all was well.
A telegram from Brief was awaiting me.
My father and Sife were both dead.
They had been killed that day IN
car on the Innsbruck road. The
news stunned me. AS a man in dream,
I did as my brother said. for now 1t was
/ that was helpless and he that took
charge. All I knew was that I must get
back
That night he packed for me and told
me what he had done. I was to leave
the next day by the two-o'clock train.
He had arranged everything. All that
had to do was to go to the Bank the next
morning and draw for him the money
not do. though I gave him my check.
And when I had drawn the money-500
pounds was to bring 1t to the station
from which his train would be leaving
at half-past ten.
AS he said. so did. / had no brain

not blame them at all. You see, he was
my twin-brother. Only my wife and my
father could tell us apart. And they
were dead.
When they searched me, they found the
money-and Ferdinand's ticket for the
boat. Unknown to me. he had put this
into my pocket-to gain his terrible ends.
And he had left for Innsbruck whilst
was still at the Bank. BY an earlier
train, of course. He was across the
Channel before went to my cell.
So he and changed places.
He took my fathers title and all that
was mine, and I was sent to prison for
seven years.
My daughter became his daughter, my
life became his life. You see. it was so
easy. Only my wife and my father had
known why went to England. For the

books, half dozen packages of
old newspapers-and a long let
ter written by Aunt libby herself.
This was addressed to her rela-
tives in general and was a sort of
confession. In it she stated that
her income since Uncle David's
death had been limited to a pen
sion of Sc a month. That in some
way the story had been circulated
that this old trunk contained valu-
ables and she had never contra
dicted it, fearing if she told the
truth some one might put her in
an old ladies' home, an institu-
ton she detested. She trusted her
relatives would pardon her and
that the old trunk would be kept
for her sake; that it might prove
a magic casket to the owner, just
as it had to her.
The trunk was left with Maize,
as she was the only person who
displayed the least desire to pos
sess it. After everyone had de-
parted she threw her arms around
her husbands neck and cried,
"Oh, Bert, can you ever forgive
me?" Judging by the sigh of con-
tentment she uttered Bert's an
swer was satisfactory.
Aunt libby was right; the trunk
did prove magic casket for Ma
zie. 1t stood in the upstairs hall
where she had to pass it many
times a day and whenever she
was seized with envy, stubborn
ness or a desire for fnery she
could not afford, one glance at
the old trunk was sufficient to dis
pei such feelings in twinkling.

between the two, and on May 8,
just before the game with the
Giants, they quarreled publicly.
Frisch noted that Durocher was not
taking batting practice, and spotting
him talking to friends in the stands,
called him in.
eff you're too big for this ball
club" yelled Frisch, ego get train
for st. Louis" Lippy lived up to
his name in the fluency of his retort.
He finished out the season but there
was no lessening in the bad blood
between him and his manager.

"did that umpire rule right on that

batted ball hits an umpire be-

The umpire was right?

If it hadn't been for the clash of

On the Highway

1t is a curious trait in human
nature that we will take off our
hats when woman enters an
elevator, and be most apollo
getic if we bump into somebody
inadvertently; but the instant
we get our hands on a steering
wheel we damn all mankind
woman and man alike.
Too often, we are inclined to
look upon traffic guides and
regulations as irritating restric-
tons designed primarily to
keep us from having a good
time, when the truth of the
matter is, they have been de-
vised solely for our convenience
and comfort.

Congress to Get
Health Bills

WASHINGTON, Aug. - (CNA)
Congress will be asked to enact
a health program guaranteeing
adequate medical service to forty
million under-privileged Negro and
white American citizens at its next
session, Miss Josephine Roche
chairman of the Presidents COM
mittee on technical medical care,
made known this week.
Miss Roche did not go into par
ticulars regarding the program but
stated that it would be modelled on
the $50 million dollar per year plan
submitted to the National Health
Conference which met here last
week.
Meanwhile, the Committee OF
Physicians, representing the pro
gressive group in the American
Medical Association, met in New
York to discuss the conclusions
reached at the conference. The
leadership of the American Medi-
cal Association, with DR.. Morris
Fishbein as their spokesman, have
been the strongest opponents Of
a national health program.
Facts brought out at the confer
ence showed that thousands Of
Americans were dying each veal
from preventable diseases as a re-
suit of inadequate public health ia
cilities.
The conference recommended
that funds be appropriated tc
finance a long-range program fol
the control of tuberculosis, cancer
syphilis, malaria, and other viru'
lent diseases.
