Thoughts While Hanging Out the

Wash-No. / 1--WE revive an old
family custom, the weekly wash. }
If neighbors in the vicinity of 622
East Third street were startled on
Saturday at midnight to see a
crepe paper dressed fugitive from
the ballet dashing madly up the
steps of his home, we want them
to know it was just "Billie" Goebel.
one of the girls, out rounding up
his wig. Shortly before the dance
was to begin, Billie discovered he
had left his crowning glory at
home and was forced to hire a taxi
for a split second run to the east
end of town. He made it!

Paul and Bill, Jr. thought it not
quite fair that Put-in-Bay have a
queen for the parade, last Friday,
and Port Clinton none. SO on be-
half of the Cub Scouts, of which
they are members, they chose Sis
ter Elizabeth for the honor, to ride
on the float which they decorated
most elaborately themselves. The
Cubs were probably very happy
when their queen rated as much
attention as the visiting one.

dream up another mems all-girl

tact the following: Tip Snider.
John Steager, Chester Kurtz,

Werner Jeschke. Why? Because
they looked so cute in their frilly

OVER THE
BACK FENCE
BY MARGUERITE FINEFRoCK

Hiya Neighbour the fund for
building the wading pool lacked
anything before, it certainly went
over the top as the result of the
midnight show Saturday night
when every seat in the Clinton
was sold attesting once again to
the fine support Port Clintonites
always give to worthwhile civic
projects. The show was good from
beginning to end and if folks look
ed little bleary eyed when they
left at 3 a. M, it was worth it.
The stage show was particularly
good and "them's" the sentiments
of everyone we talked to the next
day. But we held our breath
when emcee George Schade intro
duced Tony Sgro as the "Voice of
the Velvet Fog" for fear he'd say
"velvet frog" instead. AS for the
ballet, well, we wouldn't be sur
prised to hear that Stan Brown
and his terpeschorian beauties are
leaving any day for a cross coun-
try tour. Such grace and perfect
coordination should not remain hid
den in a small town, they must
needs feel the urge for the wide
open spaces. But if they do, we
suggest the girls" mend the crepe
paper ruffles on their briefs be-
fore they lend up" making the
gossip columns.

|Agi Jambor
Bv EIenu de Snvn


A large and an enthusiastic au-
dience greeted Agi 5ambor in the
Phillips Gallery last night where she
gave a piano recital. The young
pianist has already gained Arm
foothold in the esteem of the WASH
ington public since her debut here
under the same auspices last June.
Constant appearances over the radio
and in concerts during the past sea-
son, and recent engagements on the
European continent, stamp her play
ing with q sense Of security and
lend 1t new authority.
Nine. Jambor always has been a
technician Of q high order. How
ever, she now subordinates the nat
ural facility of her formerly over
powerful fingers to the demands Of
style and expression. Among the
loveliest expeditions Of her art were
Bach's prelude and Fugue In A
Minor" and Mozart's "Andante for
the Mechanic Organ" the opening
numbers on her program. With an
uncanny perception for the con-
tinuity Of melodic and rhythmic
lines in the former, the pianist re-
vealed their perfect independence
and grandeur of construction. She
enhanced the daintiness of Mozart's
"Andante" by the ripping quality of
her passages and trills, infusing it
with the charm Of an antique music
box.
Her execution Of Beethoven's
Sonata in e Flat Major, op. S1a"
proved further how much her play
ing has gained In polish and refine
ment and has acquired elements

Build Range Shelter
To Protect PuIletS

Pullets can be protected from
too much sun and too much rain
on summer range with an mex
pensive 10xl2 foot shelter which
has floor space enough for 200
growing birds. D. D. Meyer, poul-
try husbandry specialist, Ohio
State University, says the shelter
can be used as a sun porch in
front of a brooder house or it
can be moved on inbuilt skids
to stand by itself on the poultry
range.
The shelter was designed by
university poultry specialists and
agricultural engineers. 1t is built
of heavier materials than are
called for in the plans of other
poultry range shelters, it has
headroom for the convenience of
the poultryman, and its rooSts are
placed on the floor joists.
Mr.. Meyer claims this shelter
gives plenty of protection from
sun and storms but its sidewalks
of hardware cloth and large
panel of the same material in the
back wall allow free air circula-
ton on hot days. Screen also is
| used for the front of the shelter
The front door which is large
| enough for easy access by the
flock owner and the small door
in the back wall can be closed
to keep out proWling animals al
| night.
The shelter is built on skids
and can be pulled easily by {
tractor or truck to new pasture
spots on the poultry range, anc
the pullets can be confined in the
shelter while it is being moved
| Mr.. Meyer recommends building
the shelter to last may years BY
using first class materials and by
giving the more exposed portion!
! of the building protective coat
| ing of creosote or other wood pre-
i servative.

Last year, with 1913 police de-
partments participating, 358,225
vehicles were checked for brakes,
lights, horns, windshield wipers,
and stop lights. Of this number,
1854 were found to have one or
more defects.
To aid the Ohio Chiefs of Po-
lice association and the State
highway patrol, Gov. Thomas j.
Herbert has proclaimed July as
traffic safety check month.
Chief Eugene T. Weatherly, of
the Cincinnati police department,
will again serve as chairman
with Colonel Mingle, of the state
highway patrol, and w. L. Sweet,
Springfield chief of police, as
vice chairman. Lieut.. M. A. Mock,
of the state patrol, is co-ordinat-
or.
Authorities again plan to issue
a windshield sticker for each
auto that passes inspection SO
that they may be driven over the
states highways without being
stopped.
Vehicles failing to pass the
tests will be check sheeted show
ing faults which must be repaired
before an 0. K. sticker is placed
on the windshield.
Noble county motorists are
asked to cooperate in this traffic
check-up, whichewill do much to
decrease the number of fatal ac-
cidents.
Local motorists, who so desire
may bring their vehicles to the
county Jail, where the check will
be held promptly.
