BEHIND EIGHT BALL

Do you know that we have
not had a budget re-adjustment
since stamps were first issued
year ago last October? We
have not been allowed one adj
ditional food stamp, and any
one knows there have been ter
rife price advances since then.
and also that the welfare food
budgets are computed at the
lowest possible scale at which
fair health can be maintained.
Are we behind the eight ball?

but I feel must stay TO try

whoop-la was over AS the wreath of victory
was hung over the Wells neck, she remarked,
first:
He's the man I've been looking for" And
then: I've always been partial to mining
men,"
The meaning of the latter statement is not
entirely clear as Mr.. Wells. of course is a
doughnut man. Perhaps, in the excitment of
the moment she confused him with the late
Mr. Daily who had lied twelve years before of
a heart attack while hunting ducks.
At any rate followers Of society matri-
monial steepechasng rushed to consult old
copies of racing forms and, after acquainting
themselves with Mr.. Wells record of past per-

long shot.

Presidents wife. The thing seemed to be in
the bag, until day at a birthday party
given in her honor the affluent widow amazed
and mystified her friends by announcing:
Ladies and gentlemen, just want t6say
that this is a doubly happy occasion for me
because it also celebrates my marriage to Mr..
Roe Wells. We eloped to Valparaiso Indiana,
last week and are going to New York in

s @~HE dough that makes for social success
and the kind that goes into doughnuts
are as rule two entirely different
things
Mr. Roe Wells handsome 53-year-old presi-
dent Of a big doughtnut company, however.
has extracted plenty Of the first kind of dough
from doughnuts and, partly with its aid, has
scored one OF the biggest social successes OF
the season.
But dough is not by any means Mr.. Wells
only social asset. In addition he has an i'm
posing appearance. derived in part from the
American Indian ancestry on which he prides
himself, and best Of ALL a knack somewhat
similar to that possessed by the late. great
American jockey Snapper" Garrison
Snapper" rode II. 900 races in his time and
in a goodly proportion of them came from be-
hind to win by nose. So the gentlemen Of
the tracks coined a phrase in his honor. "a
Garrison finish" or. in other words, the kind
that thrills the gallery and causes heart fail
ure among some booldes
Mr. Wells of course is no Jockey but in
the social sweepstakes in which he is now
running he seems 10 have the Garrison touch
month or two ago, for instance, he was
slogging along in the ruck. His independently
wealthy and socially distinguished wife, the
former Princess FlafnInen or AuSLrla, mao just
died, cutting him off IN her will with $40
First, Mr.. Wells produced a later will leav-
ing him the bulk Of his wife's estate. and then
as though to show he hadn't begun to extend
himself, went ahead to nose out the favorite
in the race for the hand of Mrs Marcus DAILY,
widow OF a copper baron and one of the
iuicest matrimonial prizes in sight.
latter exhibition of speed stamina and
skill was, as the saying goes really something.
1t has to be visualized TO be appreciated. Way
out in front was Edward Cumming thor
oughbred IL there ever was one. According
TO the man who verifies all pedigrees sub
mitted TO the Colonial Danes and Society OF
Colonial Wars, Mr.. Cumming, descended from
Martha Washington. and collaterally from
George himself, Is probably the most aristo-
cratically born gentleman in the u. s.
Well, there was Edward or Ted, as his
friends call him. looping along, taking hurdles
and bitches in his stride and far behind came
the pack, punched together and, so far as
anyone could tell, completely out of the run
ming. Gossip coumnsts, reporting the race,
were already phoning in their stories, conced-
ing the victory TO Whirlaway Ted.
But wait, What's this? l-/,
throaty roar goes up from the packed
grandstand.
A dark horse has nosed his way out Of the

stated that domestic difficulties" existed in
the Wells household.
In the sense that Mr.. Wells emerged from
this ambiguous incident with its solution,
he can be said to have made another Garrison
finish; but the whole business set him back
far in his wifes affections that he had
to do some fancy riding to make up the lost
ground
Last July Mrs Wells sued for divorce
charging that her husband had caused her to
suffer acute embarrassment at the time of the
mock robbery.
And three days later she made out the will
cutting him off with $40.
Illness then interviewed in his favor. His
wife came north for health check-up and
was found TO have cancer. While she fingered
on in a New York hospital Wells was a
constant visitor. Perhaps his attentions soft
ened her heart in any case, he now asserts
that before her death she made out another
will, leaving him so per cent Of her estate, her
relatives the rest.
While the original OF the second document
is said to have disappeared, the widower at the
psychological moment produced a photostat
copy of it and on the strength of this has en-
joined the Florida courts from probating the
earlier will.
A stiff legal battle is expected.
Oddly enough, the new Mrs. Wells like
her predecessor, Is also an Austrian noble
woman Evidently there is something about
Austrian noblewomen that puts Mr.. Wells on
his mettle. Born Lele Won Harrenreich, daugh-
ter of an officer Of the court of Franz Josef
she came to New York and straight off acr
quired the first of four husbands Captain
Harry Young. of the u. S. A.
She did not really begin to cut social ice,
however, until Captain Young had passed into
the background and his ex-wife burst forth as
the wife of Marcus DAILY, Jr. Of the man
who organized the Anaconda Copper Co. AS
Mrs. DAILY. Lele had position, and, being
blessed with wit, charm and the biggest black
eyes you ever saw. she made the most Of It.
Following Days death in 1890 she came
into lifetime trust fund OF close to 81 000-
600. and this, added to her native charms set
the hearts of eligible bachelors atwitter.
The twittering ceased abruptly in 1882.
when she selected as her next husband mys-
ferrous White Russian named Captain George
Djamgaroff.
Captain Djamgaroff lasted for three years
and then was disposed of in Reno
Edward Cumming, who had just been di-
vorced himself. came forward. took one look
at Lele's fascinating eyes and started to gallop
for all he was worth. He was way ahead Of
all other contenders when, early in the Fall,
his intended and the recently bereaved Mr..
Wells met at luncheon. From that moment.
though he didn't know IL. Mr.. Cumming might
as well have quit and gone home.
AS It was. he was still in there, trying
when the lady eoped TO Greenvfle. s. C., with
the Garrison finisher.
One rather curious coincidence in all this
is the fact that Snapper" Garrison himself
the jockey whose prowess Mr.. Wells has emu
lated so effectively. once wore the colors Of
Lele's father-in-lawr Marcus DAILY, the first.

that she might have hidden the jewels and
then forgotten where; Mr.. Wells was starting
to have STRINGS of recollection about the
cash.
The fine-toothed comb that law enforce
ment agencies reserve for such emergencies
was busted off and run through the house -
And, what do you think?
Right there in Mrs. Wells closet, down
among the shoes was the chamois bag con-
tanning the jewels and $4,000 of the cash. A
good fairy must have brought it back during
the night
At this point. Mr.. Wells cleared his throat
and politely requested the police to withdraw,
saying Il think we can work everything out
ourselves"
The F.BI. announced next day that the
case was officially closed. They had obtained
a signed statement from Mr.. Wells, admitting
that he had sent the rest of the cash for safe
keeping TO New York lawyer, who repre-
sented him and his wife

as they received the S. o. s., sustained
a number Of severe shocks.
When did you discover the loss?"
they demanded.
oh" replied Mrs. Wells casually,
I'VE noticed it was gone yesterday"
Yesterday! Why hadn't 1t been re-
ported earlier? Well, it appeared that
the lady had been rather busy. She had
had to attend a meeting of her bridge
club and do some errands and, what
with one thing and another, the little
matter of three-quarters of a million
dollars had completely slipped her
mind
Right away, Chief Of Detectives Earl
Carpenter decided that there was
so.aething screwy about this, and
further investigation failed to dispel
his suspicious.
The loot consisted of $500, 900 worth
of jewelry, which had been kept in
channels bag showed in among the
shoes in Mrs. Wells closet, and $475,-
900 in cash, 5000 Of the latter hav-
ing been with the jewels and the rest
tucked into a bedroom dresser drawer
What in the name of common sense
made them keep a hoard like that in
the house? Why hadn't they put it in
a bank?
Mrs. Wells replied that she didn't
believe in banks and, anyhow, needed a
lot Of cash on hand to carry on her OPP
erations in the lumber business.
At the end of the first days probing,
investigators found themselves in an
impasse. The servants had been cleared
and there was nothing to indicate
burglars. Chief Carpenter declared
that he found it hard TO make state
ment about the incident because it was
uniqueain his experience.
Next morning when he returned to
the scene, reinforced by agents Of the
FBI, Mr.. and Mrs Wells were begin
ming to get a little confused them
selves. Mrs. Wells admitted guardedly

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

Chipmunks have a squirrel like
form, live chiefly on the ground,
and transport their food by means
OF cheek pouches. They have
conspicuous cheek and body stripes.
The golden mantled chipmunk
seated upon his summing rock ap-
pears to be large gray common
chipmunk with yellow crown and
two black stripes on either side Of
his body. But all true chipmunks
have cheek stripes, so you must
know the color combination in order
to identify each little fellow belong
Ing to its particular group.
Though the fur of this chipmunk
Is regulation pepper-and-salt gray
suit, it is tinged with warm brown
and yellow which passes over the
cheeks on the neck, shoulders and
forefeet, and this is all you have to
see in order to know it is the golden
mantled chipmunk. There are two
parallel black stripes from shoulder
to hip, and they, too. show the
golden tint between stripes. The
eye-ring and the paws carry out
the yellowish tinge.
This chipmunk is at home in the
Canadian and Rocky Mountains,
from the upper Athabaska to North
ern Mexico. 1t has often been told
that wherever the golden-mantled
shipmunk fits there is gold to be
had nearby. It evidences a decided
preference for rocky slopes or forest
floors well carpeted, yet not too
much underground that would make
burrow- building difficult. Natural
heavy obstacles, like rocks and fallen
logs and heavy stumps, are ideal
protection for these burrows since
they make lots of hard work for
natural foes such as bears, coyotes,
badgers and such chipmunk hunters.
During the summer months the
chipmunk is harvesting food that
will keep and eating all the other
things that can be found within
reasonable distance from the home
burroW.
The storehouses, empty by spring,
must be filled to tide the busy har-
vester through the winter weather.
The cheek pouches can be stretched
to hold an unbelievable amount of
food. Busy chipmunks work them
selves almost to death storing food,
and the worker looks as if he had
very severe case of mumps during
the weeks before winter comes.
The number of storerooms varies
with individuals. There are so
many hidden exits, long Railways
leading to the bins and storage
banks that it would amaze the aver
age person how one small creature
could excavate all the corridors, in
clines, halls, rooms and exits. The
secret is that chipmunks are indus
trious. with not lazy bone in their
bodies, and they know the lmpor-
tance of putting aside for the cold
and rainy day.

Chipmunks are tree planters as well

AS definitely established Storerooms

that Chippy does not of his own

whereas the true tree planters are
said to know how to place the nut

angle for growing and that these
nuts are left alone to grow. The
nuts intended for food are cached
for that purpose and not forgotten.
There are still many things we must
