B-8 ALL SETH PARKER CAST T0 RETURN Radio Listeners to Hear Jonesport, Me., “Gither- ings” Beginning June 30. NCE more the mythical door- way of Seth Parker's home O in Jonesport, Me., will swing open fur weekly “githerings” of the Jonesport Neighbors and radio listeners from coast to coast. Sunday evening at Seth Parker’s, one of the most popular programs in the history of radio, returns to an N. B. C. net- work Sunday, June 30. Phillips H. Lord, creatar of the Seth Parker character, wiil write and pro- duce the sketches as well as play the leading role. All the criginal cast will be heard in the down-East rules of Ma Parker, played by Effie Palmer; Lizzie Peters, Mrs. Phillips Lord; Capt. Bang, Raymond Hunter; John, Dick Maxwell; Fred, Norman Prics; Mrs, Hoocper, Gertrude Forster; Jane, Mary Merker, and the captain’s brother, Edward Wolter. Beronett Kilpack, who played the roles of Cefus Peters and Laith Pettingal, will rejoin the Jonesport Neighbors as soon az he finishes a dramatic engagemen! in England. y The hymn-singing, around Ma Parker’s old melodeon; will cottinue to be an important pert of Sunday evening at Seth Parker’s. Hymns for the first of the new series of vrograms will be chosen from America's tavor- ites, voted by Seth Parker listeners in the past to be “The Old Rugged Cross,” “Nearer My God to Thee,” “Abide With Me,” “Lead Kindly Light” and “Rock of Ages.” Since December, 1933, when Phillips Lord left on his four-masted schooner, the Seth Parker, for a cruise in South- ern waters, requests have never ceased pouring into the National Broadcast- ing Co. to bring the weekly New Eng- 1and meetings back to the air waves. The program finds great favor with religious leaders of ali sects because its philisophies are human but non- sectarian. * % ¥ % Cm VOICES, N. B.

RS. LAID- LAW'S dia- monas sparkled in the artificial bril- liance of the night club. The practi- cally nude dancer blinked her eyes in the intensity of ments of her dance while she gased, at Mrs. Laidlaw’s expan- sive, glittering chest. Mrs. Lald- law was known for that collection of rare diamonds and she liked having them admired. The dancer came close to the table and swooped down in an artistic en- deavor to get & better view. The girl danced away but not be- fore Mrs, Laidlaw had in the covert glance of understanding which passed between the little dancer and a man of distinguished appearance seated alone at a table some distance away. She glanced curiously at the man, then turned her head to scru- tinize him more closely. “Do you know him?" asked Jack Vale, her dinner partner. “No, but he arouses my interest.” The dancer finished her number and reappeared in evening clothes. Every one was discussing her and her companion, She was a French dancer making her first tour of American citles. He was accompanying her on her tour, at the completion of which were to be married. flfl“!“ Laidlaw’s party consisted of 12 ladies and thelr escorts. Mrs. Laidlaw herself had come out of the mists and her veneer was s completely disguising as the gilt Jacquer on the body of the dancer. But she had done very well for herself. By some mysterious means she had scquired outstanding wealth and s certain prominence. Some one was saying, “Marion knows the Count and Mme. Coudrey. former Gov. Alfred E.

DILLE Alonzo O. Dille, who died April 18 ' left an estate of $190,000, it was dis- | closed yesterday afternoon when a | petition for probate of the will was filed by his executor, William J. Neale. The estate consists of personal prop- erty valued at $171,000, and real estate, at $19,000, and goes to his foster daughter, Mrs. Katharine Dille Malkus, after bequests of $5,000 each | to s sister, Mrs. Blanche Morris, of | Washington County, Pennsylvania, and & brother, Sanford M. Dille, of Los Angeles County, Calif. The petitioner was represented by She met them crossing. Marion was the writer. “Yes,” said she, punching her cigarette in her ashtray, “and most charming they are, my dears. The count is one of the few titled men who still has great wealth at his command. Mme. Cou- drey confided to me that he is carry- with him, in a sealed package, & sum of $20,000 in bank notes, which he intends to present to her as a wed- ding gift. I think I shall speak to them.’ She rose and her escort followed her across the floor space which sep- arated their tables. Marion and Mr. Gettings did not come back immedi- ately, but changed dances with the intriguing pair under discussion. “They're coming here” said Mrs. Laidlaw. As, indeed, they were. The dance had ended and the four of them were making their way toward the Laidlaw table. “How frightfully upsetting,” com- mented Mrs. Laidlaw, her face crim- son. Just as she finished her sentence the lights went out. There was mad confusion. Women screamed. Men swore. “I'm being robbed!” rang out the terrified voice of Mrs. Laidlaw, and it took a high crescendo it had not reached in the last 12 years of cul- ture. The dancer screamed: “Stop it! Leave me alone!” “They’re coming here® s gEE E!E;'g i iy : i H i ?ggi%; E?E‘g il and every one tried FREE Some one said two men appeared through a side exit just the lights went on. Mrs. Laidlaw said she had nothing more to say, as she could make no just accusations and she did not wish to subject her friends to the humiliation of being searched. The police took the names and ad- dresses of all the guests, then cleared the place. Mrs. Laidlaw leaned back among her silken pillows and read the morn- ing edition of & local newspaper. There was & full column devoted to the description of Mrs. Laidlaw’s missing jewels, their value and their authentic history. Celeste entered with her breakfast tray. “A gentleman has been waiting to see you. He says you are expecting him.” Before Mrs. Laidlaw could remonstrate or more, the count walked in, suave and arrogant. His right hand remained in his coat pocket and he nodded his head at the maid. “You may go, Celeste.” When Celeste had gone he stood quietly several minutes and looked steadily at Mrs. Laidlaw, then he spoke. “It’s been a long time since we met, Bertha, and your disguise is perfect, but I'll trouble you to return the 20 grand you took from me last evening.” “You're crazy. I never saw you be- fore. I—I—— You took my jewels, Albert. I'll have you arrested.” “You had that chance last evening, 1 believe. Your jewels are paste. But T'll trouble you to hand over the money. You've been working & pretty slick little game since we parted in Monte Carlo. I came to New York, not knowing who you were, to get your jewels. Here they are” He drew from his pocket the glittering baubles and threw on the bed where they sparkled among the lace and satin. He covered her with & small auto- matic. “T'l give you 10 minutes to make up your mind, and if" we're inter- rupted, remember, I'm en old friend.” “I surrender.” Mrs. Laidlaw reach- ed under her pillow and drew out & long paper envelope. “You see, Al- bert, I know just how you carry your Joot. Remember me to Mme. Coudrey.” (Copyright. 1936.) Tomorrow: A criminal is harried by his victim’s dog in “I Am Sane,” by G. C. Coler. 70,000 Birds Shipped Far.

T've been taking a sun-bath,” replied Old Mr. Toad. “What for?” asked Jenny Wren. “Because I wanted to,” replied Old Mr. Toad, and this was all the reply that Jenny could get from him. “Tut, tut, tut, tut!” exclaimed Jenny. “What a silly thing to do! You de- serve to feel uncomfortable.” “I know it,” sighed Old Mr. Toad. “You don't happen to know where there is some water, do you Jenny? I would give anything for some water.” Jenny looked hard at Old Mr. Toad and her sharp little eyes snapped. “I believe you do need some water,” sald she. “I'll see if I can find some.” Jenny flew away and Mr. Toad be- gan to feebly dig with his hind feet. He didn’t feel like digging. He felt too used up for that, but he just had to get down into that comparatively cool earth. He was just about half buried when Jenny Wren returned. At first she didn’t see him. “Here I am,” said Old Mr. Toad feebly. Jenny was about to reply sharply, for you know that Jenny Wren hés a quick tongue, but she saw how mis- erable Old Mr. Toad really looked, so she said mildly: “I've found some ‘water.” “Where is 1t?” asked Old Mr. Toad, eagerly. “Qver close to Farmer Brown'’s house,” replied Jenny Wren. “It is in s big saucer up sgainst the house in the flower bed.

Later forms of the name were Huer and Hewer. This coat of arms was borne by Wyatt Hewell, who was born in Vir- ginia in 1756. The family moved to Georgia, where descendants now live. ‘The blazonry of the arms is as fol- lows: “Gules, & chevron between three mullets argent. Crest—A beaver passant ppr. Motto—Virtus in arduo.” The -neraldic significance of this coat of arms is as follows: Gules, the color red, indicates courage; the chevron is a badge of defense, or protection, the same insignia which military men use today. Argent, the “metal” siiver, denotes sincerity, and the mullet is a symbol of cadency, always indicating the third son of the house, thereby differentiating him and his descendants from other branches cf the family.

HY, yes, Senor Gompez, we're off tomorrow,” Daphne Sumers an- swered. “I'm getting married, you know, and ‘we mean to catch the afternoon boat.” “That is fortunate for me, since I shall be on the same train.” He said that direct to Alison and underlined it with a languorous, caressing glance that made her turn abruptly away. But even with her head turned, her eyes on Daphne, she could feel him watching her and her repulsion grew. “You'll be on that train?” Daphne’s surprise was shrill, yet Alison felt sure she had arranged the whole thing. “You're leaving England at once, As he did not answer, she re- “Are you leaving 114 to work.” But though he said that smoothly, Daphne had seen him start and drag his gaze away from the girl. She flashed a look at Alison and a heavy red color stole into her bony cheeks. “It’s certainly s mistake not to at- tend to business,” she agreed; even Alison caught the acid note behind He rose at once. “There is the bell. I must get back to my seat. Au revoir, madame.” He bent low over Daphne’s hand and kissed it. “Au revoir, mademoiselle.” He went out with a gliding, undulat- ing movement which reminded Alison Bg FH if $il ] skiv i ¥ 55 - 5 EE:; g s i1 whe § 2 E i g3 i g § ! g | il zééi%% 2 ks gold chain of her mesh bag, her gaze drifting slowly across the crowded rows below. It stopped at the end of the third row, rested there, and Alison almost exclaimed aloud. It was as if Daphne had turned into another person. At one moment hard, self-possessed, cyni- cal, the next her whole face softening, the thin lips drooping sadly, the eyes I!l!led with hungry longing and with love, It was scarcely necessary for Alison to look down and see who sat in that end seat. “She loves Gompez, just as I love Guy!” And with that thought her natural, generous sympathy came up- permost. She could pity Daphne and she wondered in a bewildered way, if she loved Gompez so much, why did she not marry him. After all, she was a widow and free! Impulsively, Alison spoke, “Daphne?” - The hard expression snapped back into place as if released from a spring. “Yes?” Mgs.

Of course, the hop acrcage in the United States was greatly reduced for several years following 1916. The un- certain ntarkets and the cost of grow- ing good crops led growers to abandon this plant in favor of others that paid much better. ‘The principal growing countries of today ar: Czechoslovakia, Germany, England and the States. The hop is a wild plant in Europe, from England and Sweden as far south as the mountains of the Mediterranean basin; from Asia as far as Damascus and the south of the Caspian Sea to Eastern Siberia. In India the hop is unknown, as is also the case in Northern China. ‘The custom of brewing with hops did not become general until the mid- dle ages. Other plants were used for the same purpose, and in some dis- tricts today, where the hop grows wild, these plants are still 1sed. The Ger- mans, Kelts and other peoples of the north, even though they knew the hop's properties, did not trouble them- selves to cultivate it. When they did think of brewing with it they gath- ered the wild ones. The first mention found of the hop i in 768, when Pepin, the father of Charlemagne, presented him with & hop garden. The hop is a perennial, herbaceous plant, 8 member of the famous nettle family and is the sole representative of its genus. There are many varie- today, and if you are & close ob- server, you may find the male flowers and the female ones are borne on separate plants. It you are thinking of growing a hop vine of your own, and they are very pretty additions to your wild flower garden, you oropagate from root cuttings rather than from seed. The plant has long, twisting stems that are stalked and cling to any- thing they can reach. The plant is rather temperamental and dislikes very much foggy weather or damp climates. In fact it becomes so discouraged it falls easy prey to attacks from mold or lice. In Cali- fornia, Oregon and Washington large, thrifty crops are grown. Small ones may be seen in New York, Wisconsin, Idaho, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Vermont, Kentucky and Ohio. Picking, curing and selling are highly specialized jobs, snd the hop goes through many hands before it finally reaches the place where it is put to work. (Copyright. 1935.) EDUCATIONAL.

The witness, s Washington gambler, cleared his throat. But there was no response. “Have you ever served a prison sentence?” repeatei the examiner.

OL' BR’ER COYOTE, the fieet and wily piains relative of the fox, is serving a role in national defense, unwittingly and most unwillingly. ‘The coyote, which has been decreed a pest in many localities and which exists with a price upon his head, owing life to wariness and eternal vigilance, has a target for military aviators ho need to brush up on their aerial “Coyote gunnery” is the invention the 41st Division Aviation, Wash- ington National Guard, to the office of the chief of the Air Corps. Ty practice necessarily takes the wilds of the sage-brush untry where the coyote roams, ‘The pilot flies low over the sage elusive target for pllot and observer. As camera guns only are used, the target is preserved for future opera- tions. As the airplane approaches the coyote he doubles his speed, twisting and turning until it takes a good man indeed to get him in the cross-wires of the camera gun. When the air- plane is almost on the coyote’s back he almost always “rares up,” shows his fangs, and begins running circles un- til the plane pulls up. The pilots have found that it is impossible to run a coyote to death with an airplane, because, after each dive, the coyote is smart enough to rest as he travels along at a mere dog trot. The training has been found highly beneficial to pilots in preparing for actual firing for aerial gunnery records. * % ¥ % NOT SMART ENOUGH. THE autoist was smart. So was the policeman. The autoist parked his car and left & note under the windshield wiper which read: “Run out of gasl Be back shortly!” ‘The officer figured it was & most opportune time to run out of gas, neatly parked in a limited zone. It was also opportune that s con- veniently-sized stick was at hand to test the gasoline tank. It was even more opportune that he had a book of traffic violation blanks with him. Woman Pilot Honored.
