Slept in Car. Justified

The girls have the law on their
side even if their husbands do not
follow them to the street. An officer
IN Long Island city, returning to his
radio car after time out for coffee,
found a woman making herself at
home. He demanded that she get
out, and when she refused he de-
clared her under arrest and drove
her to the station house. Her story
was that she had quarreled with her
husband, walked out on him, and
since it was 4 a. m, had taken shell
ter where she found it. The magiS-
trate said that any woman so cir
cumstanced was justified in taking
possession of a squad car.

Ships Size

Ships size is not necessarily de-
Gliding factor in ships speed, though
large ones are usually faster than
small ones. But motor launch can
run circles around big sailing ship
and mosquito torpedo boat around
huge ocean liner. A steamship av-
eraging 20 knots might accomplish
5000 mile voyage from Rio de ia
metro to Cape Town, South Africs,
IN about six days. while 10-knot ship
would take nearly two weeks.

Leaf-Eating Worms

From time to time, worms or 9TH
er insects attack roses, eating holes
in the leaf or consuming the entire
leaf in some cases. The effect Of
these pests is readily seen. Spray
or dust the leaves with a mixture
containing lead arsenate. The next
meal is the last for these bugs, if
they are the leaf-eating type.

set out to scale the rocky wall.
Sharp rocks bit at her hands
and brought blood. Her long
fingernails broke like paper.
Her shoes were gone and her
clothes were in rags. But tug
ging, pulling, slipping, she final
ly reached the top of the cliff.
She sought to pierce the
heavy fog blowing in from sea.
AS she was about to turn away,
tn fog suddenly thinned and
she saw a number of pleasure
boats anchored down the coast,
but she had no idea which one
she had escaped from. And now
was not the time TO ponder. She
had to get to the authorities
and find help for Tom.
She turned and started away,
fighting the nausea in the pit of
her stomach. The going was slow
and the rough earth bruised her
feet. Again and again she fell.

stumbled on.
At last she reached a lettuce
farm and went up TO the little
house. There she collapsed on
the doorstep. A Chinaman came
hurrying out to stare at her.
Her throat was so dry she could
Mt talk until he handed her a
drink Of water.

The old man was gone a long
time down at the barn. When he
did return Judith's lips slowly
parted in smazement.
