Those who loved Judith said she had “sou her face, but others called her “p! —exeeedingly plain. Judith herself knew she was home- ly. “I’m just out and out homely!” she murmured after many aw agon- ized scrutiny of her image when she became cruelly aware of her large ‘mouth, her tan skin and straight drab hair.

He would say, “Judith, T've searched the world over. for you!” She would answer with a glad, mighty tranquillity, “Ive waited!” There were many versions of this rapt seene—all of them piercingly tender. Sometimes Judith chose a moonlit garden—whose, she didn’t consider; sometimes they would meet at a dance; again they would be standing. on a ship far out at sea All girls, especially plain ones, cher- ish wild hopes like this. iq *But last night—why, last night Douglas sai to ler, “Oh, Jud you're the darlingest thing on earth She repeated it softly; a warm husk- iness filled her mouth. to “Very likely, would a man want with a Tt meant nothing, of course.

Judith hated the violent way her j ‘mother and sisters had of flouncing ‘on her thoughts with an irritate “What in the world are you moon: ing about! Why don’t you get up and do something!

The Teapot Dome case dates back! to early in 1922 when reports be- came current that Albert B. then secretary of the interior, had leased the Wyoming (Teapot) oil re- mmoth company, The senate oil committee, headed by Senator T, J.

Suit Dismissed Last June Judge Kennedy dismissed the suit last June and later denied the mo- tion of government counsel for a re- hearing on the ground that addition- al testimony was available. Judge Kennedy held that there was nothing to show irregularity or fraud in con- nection with the lease. In September, 1925, the government filed an appeal in the circuit court of appeals, containing 64 assignments of error, Gathering Data to Be Presented at Rate Hearing Data to be used in connection with the hearing on cream transportation rates to be held by the state railroad ‘board are being gathered by F.
