center panel first, then divide the
material that is left as shown in
the upper diagram. Join the two
pieces of ruffle material to make
one long piece, then divide it
evenly; for the two ruffles. These
cutting dimensions allow generous
seams. Enough material may be
taken from the seam edges to
cover cords for welted seams if
desired. A very narrow machine
stitched hem should be used at
the bottom of the ruf1es.
Full directions for making welt

Honeybees From Europe

Honeybees, as we know them, are
not native to America. They had
to be imported from Europe, and
the first known importation was
made in 1888. Early importations
were of the so-caled German race,
a race that is common in the United
States, but in later years the yellow
Italians came into vogue because
they are more docile than the Ger
man race, yield more honey. and
can better cope with the bee moth.
which pest is so damaging to the
German and some other races Of
bees.

Mapmaking an Old Art

Mapmaking is centuries old. Even
ancient Babylonians outlined their
country in clay. And photographers
(mapmakers) of those days weren't
any too particular about getting all
the facts before they made their
maps. There was the Greek schol-
ar, for example, who measured the
distance between two towns and
from that calculated the size Of the

During the World war, the prison
in Baku, Russia, thoughtfully set
aside two sections for good inmates
with money. The first, according
to Golfers Weekly, was the Grand

mitted friends, food and furniture.
The other was the Hotel Metro

Love All Tennis Term

The expression '1ove alr' in ten
mis- evidently had its origin about
1742 when the expression love"
was first used in Hoyle's whist"
to indicate a game without scores.
Hence, it came to mean no score
on either side. It's first use in
connection with tennis was appar-
emily in 1888 in a book called the
Parsons Daughter" in which ap-
pears the line, Cant make haz-
ard and has lost two love games"
J. Marshall in his book on tennis in
1878 defined ''love" as nothing
scored on either side.

Early Franking Privilege

The franking privilege Of con-
gressmen in the United States pre-
dates the Constitution. An ordinance
was passed in 1882 by the Continen-
tai congress which provided that let
ters, packages, and dispatches from
the members and secretaries while
attending congress on official busi-
ness should be mailed without pay
ment of postage. The privilege has
continued and has been extended to
other government officials and de-
partments from time to time.

Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your common
cough, chest cold, or bronchial irri-
tation, you may get relief now with
Creomulsion. Serious trouble may
be brewing and you cannot afford
to take a chance with any remedy
less potent than CreomulSion, which
goes right to the seat Of the trouble
and aids nature to soothe and heal
the infiamed mucous membranes
and to loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained. CreomulSion is one
word, ask for 1t plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is Creomulsion,
and you'll get the genuine product
and the relief you want. (Adv.)

STELLA CRATER KUNZ
Trailed by MisfOrtune

Two Of his friends were injured
fatally and Kunz suffered a jaw
fracture when his car crashed
against a lamp post.
Winning a postponement of his
case until September 18, Kunz
would not discuss his romance and
marriage to Mrs. Crater. She like
wise evaded interviewers.
Obtaining the marriage license
at Elkton, Mrs. Crater described
herself as a widow and stated she
was 35 years old. The Rev. j. T.
Baker performed the wedding
ceremony.
Since Justice Crater walked into
apparent oblivion on August 6,
1880, an international search has
been conducted for him. Although
reports have placed him in various
places throughout the country, no
definite line on his whereabouts or
reason for his disappearance ever
have been unearthed. Last Au-
gust 8, Mrs. Crater had him de-
clared legally dead.
