Final Arguments Due
In Iark-Thompson
Eviction Suit Today

After four days of testimony and
wrangling over points OF law. the
Clark Thompson eviction suit today
was expected to go to the jury sit
ting in Judge George D. Nelson's
Municipal Court Room.
Counsel for both the family OF
Rear Admiral Joseph j. "Jocko"
Clark, Deputy Chief OF Naval Oper-
ations for Air, and Huston Thomp-
son. former chairman of the Federal
Trade Commission, whom the Clarks
seek to oust from a 10-room suite
In their apartment house, have yet
to present final arguments in the
case.
Nearly all Of yesterdays five-hour
session was devoted to squabbles
over points of law between Herman
Miller, representing the Clarks, and
H. Clay Espey, defending Mr..
Thompson, who is fighting to con-
tinue his occupancy of the apart
ment at $500 Massachusetts, avenue
NV. in the heart of the Embassy
belt, where he has lived for 26 years.
Mrs. shannon clark, IIle Auiiiil di
wife, was the sole party to take
the stand. AS a rebuttal witness,
she contradicted testimony given
Tuesday by the Thompsons' maid,
which indicated the landlord had no
Intention of ousting the Thompsons
when she bought the building for
b2O0,0 900 last January.
Mrs. Clark denied that, in con-
versation with real estate broker
and the maid, shortly before the
sale, the remark had been made that
the Thompsons faced no eviction
worries and that "everything would
20 on as before"
For the remainder of yesterdays
session, the lawyers clashed in
efforts to gain directed verdictS in
favor of each of their clients. After
Judge Nelson had denied both
motions, Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Miller
argued for two hours over special
instructions they want the Judge to
give the jury. The jurors had to
leave the courtroom while all this
went on.

Over $1,000 Racing BET
Nv ,hs Axsoe;o,sd prsss


BALTIMORE, May 20. Three
men were convicted in Criminal
Court yesterday of beating up Harry
H. Levick because he defaulted on a
81 900 debt covering horse race bets.
Mr.. Levick testified the beating
was administered last June in his
garage by Jack Berger and Thomas
Avarella at the instigation OF
Bernard Freedman, to whom he
owed the money.
Judge Herman M. Moser said he
would grant a defense plea to re-
open the case today to hear an
additional witness. He made it clear,
however, this was tentative because
he and Assistant States Attorney
William j. O'Connell, the prosecutor,
were uncertain as to the legality Of
the procedure.
The defendants, meanwhile, were
ordered held in $1,000 bail each.

SENTENCE SERMONS
BY REV. FRANK c. LOWRY

BY REV. FRANK c. LOWRY
/. The New Look" is just a
change in dress from high degree
to lower; but a high degree of
Christian living is more valuable
to the owner.
2. Looking fine from outward
appearance Is not to be despised
but greater stin are Christian
virtues which men should fully
realize.
8. Too long has youth in gener-
al been following nashy outward
looks and left undone the fine les
sons that follow men of character
and good books.
4. Silver and gold have always
had charming old and new
look to men bent on IIl-gOtten
gains, though having to bear
the name of n crook
5. When, for this alone, men
strive to get ahead, it all simply
means in the end a pretty hard
bed.
6. Looks, are but a passing
pleasure, but Christian virtues
are an eternal treasure.
7. 1t was the Adamic sin that
caused men to look on outward
appearances from the start, while
God has always looked upon the
heart.
8. And now, the way to look
different In days like these, is
always to do right, and God
only, please.
9. Clothes will get men by here
on the earth, but to get where
God is, one must have a new birth.
10. The real new look" will
always reflect Gods personality
as men learn to practice real
Christianity.
II. The Prophet jeremiah who
spoke in another day seemed dis
turbed about New Looks" for
we still hear him say, Thus saith
the Lord, stand we in the ways,
and see, and ask for the old paths,
where is the good way, and walk
therein, and we shall find rest for
your souls" But they said, we will
not walk therein.
IL. This proves old Jeremiah
to be right; that we need no
New Look" but a proper sight
and when men begin to see
alike with Him who supplies all
their need, then there will be no
more wars, avarice and green.

For Temperature Of Hay

Danger Of a barn fire from spon-

When hay Is stored with much
over 20 per cent moisture content,
danger Of heating In the NOV Is
present unless q NOV drier Is be-
ing used. Even small amounts Of
damp hay. II all IN one spot, may
cause heating in q limited area.
Heating Of the hay takes time
and checking should be done con-
tinually for two months after hay
Ia put In the NOV. A hay prod Their
mometer can be made inexpen-
Slvely to give a good check of the
temperature Of the hay. The outfit
consists Of ten feet Of one-half inch
electrical conduit with an oak or
ash point on one end 10 permit
driving into the hay. Six one-quar-
ter inch holes should be punched in
the conduit above the point. A
dairy thermometer on a string IL
then put into the conduit A rubber
pad at the bottom Of the tube will
keep the thermometer from break
ing.
To use, the prod with the Their
mometer inside is inserted in the

thermometer inside is inserted In
the hay and left 10 to IS minutes.
The thermometer is then pulled up

ately.

CHOIR 8 SONGS CHEER
WOMAN BEDRIDDEN
FOR OVER Is YEARS

Sunday evening before Christ
mas a family reunion and Christ
mas party was held in the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Have, 410S
Fourth Ave. 8. About 80 people
were present to cheer Mrs. Have,
who has been bedridden for 10
years due to arthritis. AS it hap
pened, her husband is also a pa
tent at this time due to two bro
ken ribs suffered in a fall a few
days earlier. Both enjoyed the
party but more so Mrs. Have, who
seldom sees people and who is
confined to the entertainment of
the radio.
AS the party was nearly con-
cluded, the sweet rendition of
Christmas hymns was suddenly
heard and those present naturally
thought it was due to a radio
broadcast, but Mrs. Have knew
better and at the conclusion of
the program asked that the sing
ers be invited inside. AS the door
was opened, about 20 choristers
from nearby st. Peters Methodist
church filed into the room, still
singing, and after greetings had
been exchanged, the guests de-
parted with the kindest apprecia-
ton of the patient who seldom
through the years of her illness
has enjoyed being present in per
son at the rendition of such clear
and harmonious singing. Mrs.
Have actually cried with joy at
the thought of the kindness of
beautiful and neighborly souls
found in a world only too often
shamed with the ugly sense of
racial discrimination. Contrib
uted.

Fairs are as old as mankind. For
centuries men have held fairs to
exhibit and sell the things they
make. In the Old Testament the
Book Of Ezekiel refers to the fairs
Of Tyre, where merchants showed
their jewels, animals and spices.
Jerusalem had a famous fair held
during the Passover season. Nine
yah, Babylonia, Athens and Rome
held fairs, and as civilization
spread across continents fairs were
established as trading centers.
