because she would not help drink a
bottle O.. :whiskey.

When he returned, he came to her
bed, grabbed her by the hair and start

. She wrested herself free and ran to
the cupboard where she secured a
butcher knife, jabbing behind her as
she. attempted to escape through the
door.
She claims that she did not know
she had stabbed him until he fell.
Powell had been previously married.
Mrs. Powell has a daughter about five
years old by previous marriage. The

Arrested For Giving
Away Money

Anthony Hendrickson, war veteran
who has spent several years in hospi
tails due to nineteen wounds received
in action, and who according to his
story has forty-four scars on his body
was free with plenty of money.
In Washington Avenue tavern, he
found companionship, persons who
agreed he was good fellow.
After four drinks by his count, he
suddenly felt surge of liberality and
began giving his money to everyone
who would take it. The bartender be-
ing unused to such gestures of con-
VITALITY called police, who in turn were
overwhelmed by the gentleman's gem
erosity. They arose to the occasion
and called taxi and ordered him to
go home. This Anthony refused to
do. There was no other way, so they
sent him up. In court Thursday morn
ing, Hendrickson shed some light on
the cause of his large gesture; one of
the bullets which struck him in the
chest opened his heart. 1t is claimed
that he is the only veteran of the world
war who carries a bullet in his heart

Former Minneapolis
Minister Locked Out

Reverend l. H. Fisher, some years
back considered the war bird of local
Baptistry, evidently found the same
kind of people in Kansas City, Kansas,
that he found here.
The only possible difference might
have been, that Minneapolis folk treat.
ed him more kindly.
When the worshippers gathered at
his church Sunday morning before
Thanksgiving, they found the deacon
had locked the door, and could not
or would not unlock it.
AS time passed, the crowd of faith
full grew, and spent considerable time
milling around the front of the church.
No attempt was made to hold services
outside
1t was disclosed that after meeting
in which majority of the members
had fired the Rev. Fisher, he had
agreed to leave when all his money was
paid him; they evidently were anxiouss
for him to go, for according to the
court petition he was paid Nov. 9.
The Reverend baked, and the re-
sultant court action followed. 1t was
moved to make the injunction perma-
nent.
The First Baptist Church over which
Reverend Fisher presided is one of the
largest and most attractive colored
churches in Kansas City, Kansas.

For Beauty's Sake

ONE Of our pet aversions is a bro
ken nail. 1t is enough to give
any woman dose of the blues. So
surely the bride wants her nails fairly
long. tapered, beautiful oval shape.
And the bridegroom will love your
hands pale and pink tipped. This is
one time when I think the men are
justifled in their clamor for the more
conservative nail polish shades. For
ordinary occasions the deep reds,
ruby and even blood red shades are
recommended with white. It makes q
stunning, smart contrast. But for the
bride I think the paler tints are in
good taste.
To get your hands looking soft and
smooth. always use a hand cream after
washing the hands more cream when
you are creaming your face. Re-
member to wear gloves-get in the
habit Of wearing loose cotton gloves
over cream on your hands; rubber
gloves when house cleaning; chamois
gloves when gardening and special
motor gloves when driving. Get the
glove habit for beauty's sake so that

work later. your hands will never show
it. 1t is always source Of wonder to
even modern world how a working
hand can remain looking as lovely as
q leisure hand. So, let them wonder
and admire.
And for the nails, try using that
splendid new nail protective-that
creamy sheath over the nails and
under the polish. It Is said to
strengthen the nails preventing their
breaking and encouraging their
growth. In using it, be sure to follow
directions explicitly. Let it dry thor
oughly before applying polish else It
will take that much longer for the
polish to dry and it may be sticky,
gummy mass. You may carry the
polish over the creamy protective
liquid right out to the tip.
Even If you are accustomed to get
ting weekly salon manicures, a fine
habit, learn to use The nail protective
between manicures, at home, when you
wish to make a change Of polish to
match your costume.

the best methods of mending blankets?
I would appreciate hearing from you.

the telephone book, under Textile
Weavers," you will find several shops
that specialize in just such problems
as you mention. They will reweave
the moth hole in such way that
you will hardly be able to discover
where it was. And it seems to me that,
as yours is new blanket, it would be
worth the expense. They also special

tragedy that foolish girl can create
II she goes into family with the fixed
idea that her mother-in-law is her
enemy and that she is bound to de-
fend herself against her.
I have said in this column time and
time again that for a mother-in-law
and daughter-in-law to try to live
together in the same house almost
invariably spells misery for all con-
cerned. Sometimes, however. this is
unavoidable, and when it does hap
pen it is shame and a pity that
the daughter-in-law has not sense
enough to see that 1t is just as hard
on the mother-in-law as it is on her
and try to meet the older woman
half way and make it as easy on her O.
she can.
Very often young couple could not
marry except that they take up

mother. as the newspaper account Of
the wedding says. Times innumerable
1t Is the mans mother who takes her
son, his wife and their children in and
shelters and feeds and clothes them
when the man loses his job and they
would be put out on the street but
for her. You would think that under
such circumstances that the daughter
in-law could not be grateful enough
to her mother -in-law. nor do enough
to please her. But oftener than not
she takes out her chagrin at her mis-
fortunes on the older woman and
makes her burden that much heavier.
