State Rests Case
Against Kuhn After
Admitting Error
Discovery Of Mistake
Reduced Sum He Is
Accused of Taking
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The State
rested today in the larceny trial of
Fritz Kuhn after admitting a major
error in prosecution testimony. Dis
covery of the mistake reduced from
$5,64l to 1891 the amount which
the stout leader of the German
American Bund is accused of steal
ing from his own organization.
This change was made when Ben
jamin Blattner, an accountant at
tached to District Attorney Thomas
E. Dewey's Office, returned to the
witness stand to amend his earlier
testimony.
On Tuesday he had testified to a
shortage of $4,424 in the bund's
legal defense fund"-one of the
sources into which the State claims
Kuhn dipped unlawfully-but today
he said the figure was $674.
He explained that the miscalcula-
ton had arisen from the fact that
he had enormously considered Ger
tain sums as part of the defense
fund when they were in fact paid
into the bund for dues and other
purposes.
In addition to this $674 the
bundsfuehrer now stands accused
specifically Of stealing sums of $500
and $7l7. The $500 ostensibly was
paid by Kuhn to James D. c..
Murray, an attorney, for certain
legal services to the bund, and the
SIT allegedly was taken from the
treasury by Kuhn to pay the NOV
ing expenses of Mrs. Florence
Camp, a woman friend.
After this sharp downward re-
vision OF the total amount involved
in the prosecution, Defense Attor-
ney Peter L. F. Sabbatino vainly de-
manded a mistrial.
Bund officials have testified that
Kuhn had authority to handle funds
substantially as he saw fit.

the $4,000 who subscribed to the
support of Chest agencies last year.
The appearance of a successful
start early IN the campaign should
not delude givers into feeling that
fewer or less generous gifts will be
adequate" Mr.. Willett said.
Every dollar we fail to get will
have an injurious effect upon men,
women and children who are our
neighbors," he warned. Decreases
in gifts will take away from the
happiness of some child, from the
recovery of some sick person, from

he went to prison on May 4, 1882.
Capone's discharge wiped out two

invasion, was completed January 10,
1889. The second, for failure to
make income take returns, was the
one ended today. The sentences
were for 10 years and l year.
They were shortened for good be-

Deputy Sheriff Wallace Partlowe
made chance call at the jail and
broadcast an alarm which started
a search for the fugitive. Virginia
and Washington police joined in
the hunt, but the man was not
seen again until he returned this
morning.
England and another Manassas
man were being held at the Jail
awaiting trial on charges of arsen
and burglary in connection with a
robbery at a Manassas store, which
they are said to have attempted
to cover up" by setting fire to the
establishment.
The robbery and fire occurred
several weeks ago and the two
men were taken into custody shortly
after by Virginia police and re-

 Very little usually. A dash more tact, little more sparkle, and her talk would fascinate. Often a girl bores because she doesn't fit her subject to the person she's talking to.
 To an All-American halfback she says: T heard that most wonder full concerto last night" Her rival would do better: What do you think of States football chances?"

infest the oral cavity no cavities are found.
 Prof. Bunting denies that tooth decay Cavity formation can be prevented by correcting faulty nutri- ton, as many good physicians ana dentors believe from experience ana observation.
 Old valetudinarian will recognize B. acidophilus-the identical germ that succeeded Metchnikoff's ceie- brated Bacillus bulgaricus back ID the turgid twenties when intestinal gardening was the rage among the wiseacres. Here and there some one may remember that or Doc Brady never acknowledged any superiority of either B. bulgaricus or B. acido- philus over plain, ordinary B. acidi ] lactici or tactic bacillus which is nat- urally present in all milk and ac- counts for the normal souring Of milk. That is, have always be- lieved and still believe that plain sour milk or buttermilk is as whole some, healthful and beneficial in every way as any fancy cultured" or 'fermented", milk beverage is- but then, I'm only an amateur and sometimes high power propaganda battles my limited understanding. The friendly old B. acidophilus in this role of destroying teeth is frank fly incredible. Yet Dr. Bunting insists that this is precisely what B. acido- philus does. By that token he holds that restricted use of sugars and starches in the diet will tend to re- duce the growth of B. acidophilus in the mouth, and if the growth is reduced nearly or quite to zero den- tai decay will be prevented or arr rested You see, the B. acidophilus must have starch or sugar to grow on. the natural food or pabulum or tactic acid bacteria-it is by its ac- tion on lactose, sugar, in milk that the tactic acid bacillus sours milk, converting milk sugar into tactic acid.
 This is getting back to the fancy or theory, dear to the old ladies of the dental profession, that sugar, candy, sweets favor decay of the teeth, and so children must not have such food or must not have much of it. think 1t is silly notion, but I'm willing to let the candy makers and the dentrifice vendors of the country fight 1t out. I hope they both suffer tremendous losses in the confiict-I like company.
 A cavity usually begins as a minute Assure in the enamel, per- haps a mere scratch barely visible to the eye, a crevice where food detritus and bacteria are likely to lodge and remain even after brush- ing or rinsing. But your dentor,s inspection reveals such Assures or crevices, and as a rule he can polish them out, smooth of the edges so that material no longer adheres. This arrests the process in its in- cipiency.
 I'd continue to take all the but termilk, sour milk or acidophilus milk I wanted-if I liked such bev- erages-and depend rather on reg ular inspection, cleaning, scaling and polishing of my teeth by my dentor as the only way to keep the teeth clean and sound.

 Late fall cosmetic counters arc laden with new beauty preparations and hair a simpler, pleasanter job signed to make grooming of the skin and hair a simpler, lpeasanter job through the winter months. There is. for instance, new, light and mildly fragrant lotion for freshening and cleansing the scalp and hair between shampoos. You simply brush your hair to remove loose dust and dirt, part it in sections and rub a little ol the cleanser into your scalp. Then, with a coarse towel, rub scalp vig- orously to remove all of the clean ser. Take a clean brush and brush again for several minutes.
 Always hold the hair brush lightly in your hand and brush upward and away from the scalp Otherwise, you may achieve a plastered look instead of fluffy, glossy effect. Brush one section at a time, beginning at nape of around the head. Wipe the brush IreQuGutly. A1lu OOll otOp uAtA every hair has been cleaned and polished. Remember not to be- gin brushing until you have wip- ed away as much as possible of the cleanser.
 NIGHT CREAM IS
 USEFUL IN DAYTIME
 To keep skin clear and satiny smooth in spite of cold winds, there's a buttermilk night cream to be patted in and left on all night. Or, if you simply hate sleeping with cream on your face and throat, pat the buttermilk cream in after cleansing, leave it on for at least half an hour, then remove the excess.
 One of the well known night oils for eyes now is recommend ed for use on lids during daytime hours. After powdering, put a bit of the oil on fingertips and spread a thin film over eyelids. It gives them a fresh faintly dewy look and, in addition, pre- vents chapping and winter rough ness.

 A. Once in two weeks is often enough to wash most house dogs White dogs may require more fre- quent bathing. Do not wash pup pies until they are four months old or females while in heat.
