July 30—()— The puzzling truth of three children born in three different states but in the same house that never was moved is a romantic paradox that belongs to the carly annals of Wyoming at old lots 22, 23 and 24 in block 84, original plot, on which there are due taxes of $2,985.09 up to 1928, while the tax for last year is $225.39. This would have run the cost up to about $1,500. The commission developed a disposition to ask at least $1,600 for the properties, plus the 1928 tax. Robert J. Dohn made a bid to the county of $53.95 for lots 23, 24 and 26 of block 84, McKenzie & Coffin addition, and his bid was sent to the city commission with request for a recommendation. The bid was reject- ed. It was the amount of the delin- quent tax. The lots are 25 feet front. Alley Vacated by Consent Closing of an alley in the upper half of block 83, running north and south between Mandan and First streets from midway between Avenues £ and F and extending to the latter ‘was decided on when nobody appeared in response to announcement of a hearing to protest. The public utility companies of the city—the North Da- kota Power and Light, the Northwest- ern Bell Telephone, and the Montana- Dakota Power—and George F. Will, the only parties interested in the mat- ter, all were agreed on the vacation of “the alley. Curfew Rung on Weeds ‘The commission decided to act on the weed nuisance maintained by lot owners who have not cut the rank growths and are allowing them to go to seed to assure another crop next year—also to be blown over neighbors’ premises and give them an unneces- sary annoyance to fight next summer. It was decided to give public notice to cut all weeds, and where it is not done the city will act and assess the charge on the property owners.

Modern Whalers Make Big Hauls in South Sydney, Australia, July 30.—()—It is estimated that 6,600 whales have been killed in the last six years in the Ross Sea by three whale factory ships and their attendant chasers. According to reports received from New Zealand, the Norwegian factory ship C. A. Larsen made 75,000 barrels of whale oil, representing a catch of 7186 whales, and valued at approxi- mately $3,500,000 in the United States. The Sir James Clark Ross, when she | left New Zealand for Europe, had on board 49,000 barrels of oil, represent- ing a catch of 543 whales. This made @ total of 1,329 whales for the two ships in four months. The N. T. Nielsen Alonso, which re- turned to Hobart from the Ross Sea recently, was reported to have treat- ed 732 whales, which yielded 63,500 barrels of oil. Thus the three whalers, | Tepresenting only two concerns, have accounted for 2,061 whales this season. Adding this season's reported catches to the official figures for | previous years published by the New Zealand Marine Department, the three factory ships have accounted for more than 6,600 whales in six years.

Poles Dubious Over Shaw’s ‘Apple Cart’ Warsaw—(AP)—George Bernard Shaw’s play “Apple Cart,” which had its world premiere here, was received | question of its propriety though it created much interest and was at- tended by the leading Polish literary and political lights. ; The play deals with an imaginary conflict between the King of Eng- land and Parliament in 1962 when America offers to give up its inde- pendence and become a dominion of the British empire. The king under- stands that this would mean that England would be swallowed immedi- ately by the newer country. The king decides to abdicate and run for a seat in Parliament, but the prime minister withdraws a demand that the king resign the right to veto, jrather than see him as a competitor in the House of Commons. Shaw was not present at the pre- miere. He is reported to have se- lected Warsaw for the opening be- sad of interest here in things polit- ical. Philippine Caverns Yield Burial Jars Manila—(AP)—Scientists explor- ing caves and old burial grounds in the Philippines have been puzzled by huge porcelain jars which they found in some of the caves. Although skulls, bones and other relics indi- cated that the jars had something to do with burial rites, their size pre- cluded their use as containers of food or water for refreshment of the de- ceased in the spirit world. The mystery was solved recently when one of ‘the jars was unearthed intact, containing the complete skeleton of a man. The skeleton was ina sitting position and further research convinced the explorers that the ancient custom of burying the dead in jars was widespread through- out the mech peer: ee Some of the jars showed indica- tions of having been made in China during the Sung dynasty which reigned there from 960 to 1232 A.

There was scarcely a piece of real furniture in the place. but the walls were hung with gay, moth-eaten damask, and there were great gay cushions instead of chairs. Molly’s bed was a feather mattress on @ box spring, with a piece of red velvet thrown over it. And instead of tables there were Oriental tea trays that stood a mere six inches from the floor. There were hardly two pieces of china that matched. Peasant crock- ery, from southern Europe, amusing A samovar from Rus- sia, and tall brass candle sticks. Molly bought her own kitchen things in buttercup yellow enamel, and made a gingham curtain of bright blue checks for the kitchen window. She painted the woodwork ivory. And bribed the janitor to put down a piece of linoleum. It was all quite charming. But tragedy has befallen MOLLY BURNHAM and JACK WELLS, who quarrel bought next imagines that she is ashamed of the size of the tiny dia- INING 4 TALEN T ELEANOR EARLY x'22.M%, Ins | “I think it's outrageous!” stormed Molly, “He hasn't any right to buy things he can’t pay for.” “But he does pay for them,” pro- tested Rita gently. And lets you pay the rent, and buy the groceries,” declared Molly indignantly. “Why not?” retorted Rita. “I'm perfectly willing to. Besides, I'm glad he loves beautiful things.” Rita had grown very thin. And her red lips were like a bleeding gash in her white face. They made Molly think of blood in the snow. She tried to write a verse about them called “Rita’s Mouth,” but it sounded, she was afraid, like an autopsy. Molly was getting along famously. She had had two raises, and was earning $30 a week. Sometimes she saw Ruth Woods, who had lost her baby in July. Ruth was as pale and thin as Rita, and us- ually looked as though she had been crying. She and Zip had rented the lower half of a two-part house in Merrymount. But Ruth seemed to have lost all interest in life. Rita declared that she believed Zip made his poor little wife feel like a stone about his neck. Ruth had been ill for several months, and her doc- tor’s bills were terrifyingly large. ‘There were times when Molly won- dered if she wanted to be married after all. Consider her two best friends. Rita might fool most people, with her hysterical gaiety and her strident laughter. But Molly knew. The trouble, Molly decided, was Rita and Ruth both loved their hus- bands more than their husbands loved them. It was ever so much more comfortable for a woman when the man loved her most. * * * Molly was doing an occasional the- atrical interview now. Once she met a celebrated French actress who was married .to an American producer. The actress told Molly that her hus- band sent her a telegram every morn- ing, wrote every day, and telephoned every night. She was a very happy woman. And, from continued observation, Molly concluded that there was a sort of aura about greatly beloved women, An ineffable radiance that distinguished them from their less fortunate sis- Molly began to feel like a widow. She | ters. wanted Jack fearfully. Bob and Rita lived down the street @ block, and Molly had loaned them most of ‘the furnishings from her room at college. Bob was doing a little legal work, but not earning at Miss Mayhew's school for girls. As if that weren’t enough, Rita gave swimming lessons on Wednesday and Saturday nights at the Y. W. C. A. And tutored two of Miss Mayhew’'s roa ttle girls in first year “Bob {is so dissatisfied,” she told Molly, “because I happen to be earn- ing more money than he is, He seems to consider it a personal affront. He acts as if I'd crucified his pride.” Molly noticed that Bob was extrava- gant, where Rita was thrifty and fru- gal. He bought, for instance, an clec- tric radio, on which Rita was striving to meet the payments. And he pur- chased any number of books, which he never seemed “are on to read. Once he picked up a small Oriental Tug, with a dash of dusty scarlet that took his eye. And again a bit. of Chinese damask of an indescribably lovely blue. Sometimes he bought woodcuts. On the other hand, there was some- thing piteous, she thought, about those unfortunate wives who give in- finitely more than they receive. Before long Molly was keeping a notebook, and penciling her observa- tions of love and life. She had some Something about a Woman's Soul. She thought of Love as a Flaming Passion that suffused humdrum lives. And she envisaged women as creatures made for either pain or love. Unrequited affection was the curse, she Gecided, of the unioved sisterhood. And the blessedness of being beloved was, of all things, the sweetest and most satisfying. Molly thought she was learning a great deal about life. She had stud- ied, in college, Pope's “Essay on Man,” and she remembered the quotation, proclaimed by the professor of Eng- lish literature: “The proper study of mankind is man.” It was a pleasagt our and Molly was an earnest stu- lent. ‘The Inquiring Reporter column had not lasted very long, and for that Molly was devoutly thankful. The first question she propounded was this: “Should an aviator, when he is married, give up hazardous flying?” The first person she approached was a portly gentleman, who hap- Daily Cross-word Puzzle ce Solution to Saturday’s Puzzle 12.

Finally, utterly discouraged, she called the photographer, who loit- ered across the street while she man- euvered for victims. “I never felt so silly in my life,” she lamented. “Someone's going to call a Policeman, and have me sent to the Psychopathic. They all think I'm crazy.” xe * ‘The photographer grinned unfeel- ingly. “Sure they do. Why wouldn't they?” Then, seeing her evident dis- tress, he relented. “You were so cocksure of yourself, Sister, I let you strut your stuff. Now I'll show you the ropes.” ' He hailed @ taxi, explaining as he helped her in. “Taxis don’t go so hot on the old swindle sheet, but if we want to grab a factory crowd doing the noon hour, we haven't &ny time to lose, Get a gang together, that’s the idea.

To protect the Photographer, who had a weakness for shooting crap and liked to steal an hour or so, she was obliged to waste that amount of time every day. To ease her conscience, she devoted her time to observant little strolls bent lhe otc front, or through the lens and al the Com- mon.
