new tire on the front wheel OF
his car, replacing the one torn by
a bullet and was dashing for the
Park hotel.
Jill wasn't In her room when he

fear when the desk clerk said he
thought she'd gone out to a movie
by herself.
The nearest theater was two
blocks away. and taking a chance,
he walked quickly In that direc-
ton. A few hundred feet from the
theater entrance he saw Jill APP
preaching. and stopped and waited
for her.
THANK goodness, you're all
right" he exclaimed.
"All right ?" the girl demanded.
"Why shouldn't I be?"
Taking her arm, he walked with
her back to the hotel and quickly
explained that she was In danger

II know I am, and II they're
after me. they're probably after
you, too" he said. He told her of
the bullet fired into his tire on
the cliff road as he was speeding
home.

faster. or hadn't been driving
carefully, I'd gone over the bluff
into the river. sure" he said.

Maid of Honor In Wedding Dress

Dear Mrs. Post: My two sisters
are to be my only wedding at
tendants. I am wearing brides
clothes-satin, very simply made
and am wearing a plain tulle
veil. My older sister Is married,
and as her husband is earning
very little, she has suggested that
I let her wear her white wedding
dress. This is just a year or so
old and she has worn 1t only one
time since her wedding. However,
the dress Is white-net over satin.
If she may wear this dress, then
what do you suggest that my
younger, unmarried sister wear?
Answer: A matron of honor in
her wedding dress would certainly
be a very detracting figure-very
unfair to you. She might perhaps
take the train off and change the
appearance of the dress by put
ting colored flowers on it. But it
would be best if she could have it
dyed a pale color. AS a matter
of fact, your two sisters should be
dressed exactly alike. Couldn't
they get simple clothes, which
they would find useful after
wards? They probably have to
have some afternoon or SEMI
evening dresses for this winter.
One can get such lovely things for
so very little money today, it is
to be hoped they can add to the
beauty of your wedding and not
detract from it. Can't they?

I mean a real party. inviting about
a hundred young people. Here
tofore. she has had small parties
At home but she has invited her
own guests. This will be dance;
we are renting ballroom in
local club, and hiring a small or
ehestra. The invitations present
the first major problem. Our
daughter would like each boy to
stop for a girl and bring her to
the dance. and we wonder how
this information can be given on
the invitations, and what kind OF
invitations should be sent.
Answer: II I were you I would
send formally engraved invita-
tions. Even those that are printed
to simulate engraving would be
entirely suitable. The wording:

If each boy Is to be expected to
stop for girl, the only way to
arrange for this is to enclose your
visiting card and on that write.
Twill you please stop for kath-
crime Blake ?" A different name
would of course be written on each
card.

REFUND|NC BOND
LAW CLARIFIED

OLYMPIA - Political subdivi-
sions of the state can issue re-
funding bonds without regard to
the 40-mill tax limit law. the state
supreme court ruled here in re-
jecting a suit to block issuance
of S212, 900 of bonds to refund the
original Thurston county court
house bonds.
The county issued the bonds in
June, 1929, to build a new court
house. They bore Az per cent in
terest. In August this year the
county commissioners adopted a
resolution to substitute for them
bonds bearing only 81 per cent
This will save the county $4,000
in interest, according to County
Auditor Bush Baker.
Phil K. Eaton brought a test
suit against the commissioners,
alleging the refunding bonds would
increase the county's debt. He
asked the court to rule whether
the 40-mill law would prevent their
issuance.
I'VE see no reason why the re-
funding bonds should not have the
same privileges under the 40-mill
law as the original bonds" the
supreme court said. THE county
debt would be the same. Refund
ing bonds are mere renewals or
extensions of the first issue"

RURAL INCOME
RECORD LOOMS

WASHINGTON-Increasing ma
tional prosperity may carry 1910
farm income to a high for nearly
10 years, the agriculture depart
ment forecast today.
Farmers may jingle an extra
500, 600, 900 in their pockets next
year as a result of increased in
dustrial activity. spurred by war
time demand and improved export
demand for farm products.
The department said farm pur-
chasing power would return to the
1887 level. when the $s,9Ss. 900. 900
income was the highest since 1880.
Cash farm income this year was
estimated at $500, 900, 900.
The department warned farmers
not to expect a sensational boom
in prices and European demand for
farm products, at least not in 1910.
The present forecast, it said, was
based on assumption that the war
would continue through next year.
