More than 3,500,000 children in Eastern and Central Europe are and have been dependent upon American charity for their very “xistence. These waifs in the track of war ask only for the barest necessities of life. The European Relief Council requires $33,000,000 with which to provide food, clothing and medical service for these 3,500,000 hel waifs until next harvest. Is $10.00 each too much to save children? Mrs, Wilson will entertain some of these invisible guests at the White House. Mrs. Harding will do so at Marion, Some of our homes, are taking one guest; others are taking thou- sands of them, each according to their means. The European Relief Council, of which Herbert Hoover is chairman and Franklin K. Lane treasurer, comprises eight national organizations, known to every American. They represent the efficiency of America and its devotion in service to the suffering. Their continued ability to meet this task depends upon every citizen. Shall they abandon these children in your name? Will you at this Christmas season take into your home every one of these invisible guests that you can afford? The European Relief Council comprises : The American Relief Administration The American Red Cross The American Friends’ Service Committee The Jewish Joint Distribution Committee The Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America The Knights of Columbus ‘The Young Men’s Christian Association F The Young Women’s Christian Association and ‘The Literary Digest Appeal Make checkp payable » FRANKLIN K.

Eighteen first cousins of the late who left $5,000,000 to establish a home for aged and respectable bachelors and widowers, have brought suit in the Court of Chancery claiming that this clause in his will is invalid The paper stated that it would be impossible to find sufficient “re- spectable bachelors and widowers" who could qualify under this clause. Mr. Ward, who was a bachelor, died May 27, and besides the $5,000,- 000 left for the home, willed $300,000 to charity. ‘The twelve first cousins did not receive a penny, The defendants named in the com- plaint are Joseph R. Hardin and Jo- soph ©, H. Pitney of Newark, the executors, The papers were filed in the mame of Joseph M. H. Kitchen of East Orange, The home was to be restricted to white widowers or bachelors who had lost their means through tmis- fortune, and who had lived in New Jermey for ten years, The contestants do not attack the validity of the will, but set up that the trust fund created is illegal in [that not enough bachelors or wid- lowers could be found in New jer- \sey, coming within the restrictions |\mposed, to use up the income fiom the fund, which would amount to more than $200,000. It was contended also that the | home was nog in the nature of a pub- | le charity, ald that it created a fund in perpetual continuity which would soon increase to huge px portions by * | Mackay Co, USE UP $5.00 00.

It had been more badly smashed than I had at first sup- posed, On the night of the murder I saw that the chassis was twisted and the axle broken, but I had not noticed. what that jolting crash had done to the body of the car. The steering rod was broken and the cushions were caked with mud. One wheel sagged at a drunken angle like a lop-ear and the wind-shield | was nothing but a mangled frame. ‘One tong gash ran the length of the jbody, as though it had scraped | against a rock, and this gash ended jin a jagged wound the size of a man’s head. in the back were three small splintered holes, I examined these with particular | interest, wondering what could have used them, Evidently the police lad: neglected to examine the ma- chine. The sight of what looked like the end of @ nail caused me to drop to my knees and to begin digging | frantically at the wood with my pen- lknife, At the end of five feverish minutes I held the prize in my hand, It was a misshapen, steel, “s2” rifle bullet In the floor of the car, near where Jim's feet must haye been, I found two more splintered holes, appar- ently made by the same rifle from which the shots had been fired into | the buck of the car Two thoughts mind, exuberant a IMs his ear garage | shed through my | urance that this latest discover ared Helen com- pletely, She couldn't have fired a rifle from the rear seat of the auto- mobile, nor could she have put thos bullet holes into the back of the car. | In my Joy that I hud found proof of my Sister's innocence, I forgot to | speculate on who cquld have com- | mitted the murder.

Now, e that was no longer am is- Sue, What did it matter if Woods hag stolen the proofs of his own honesty. ‘True, Simpson and du had asked me to get them, but’T Zo] that they had urged the importano of those papers more to give me something to do than for any real need pf them. Just then an automobile came up the drive and Simpson jumped out skeptical until I led him into the garage and showed him | the bullet holes; then he was enthu: ile we were talking the Coroner Mfrove up. He took the bullet I had extracted from the back of the car and looked at it as though he e on it, after which he examined the holes in the back of the car and in the foatboard. “Phis would seem to clear Mrs. Felderson, but It also makes it look as though every other suspect is in- jocent. Look at these holes in the floor! The bullets that lodged there must have been fired from above. Also you will notice there are three bullet holes in the back of the car and two in the footboard, besides the shot that killed Mr. Felderson. Un- less your friends, the Socialists, were carrying @ young armory with them they could never have fired that many shots In the short space of time that it took Mr. Felderson to pass them. 4,1 should say that it would take & “man from—well, from Hiftee: to thirty seconds, at least, to fire six heen shots at any target, and before that time the automobile would have been out of range.” te might have used an automatic rifle,” I interposed.

In the mean time I'll stare proceedings to quash that indictment against: Mrs, Felderson,”” The Coroner insisted he was due at an inquest that very moment, but would go with me in the afternoon. A& we walked toward the cars, Simp- son asked me if I had found the papers dealing with Woods's cas and I told him I thought Woods ha stolen them and repeated the infor- mation Wicks had given me. After they had left, I decided to go out to the Blandesville bridge and do @ little preliminary scouting of my own, Eager for Mary's company, and wishing to tell her the glorious news that was to clear Helen, I drove to the hospital, only to find that Mary had not been there and Helen was asleep; so I drove on to Mary's, hop- ing to find her hume, “Miss Pendleton is just going out but I will ask !f she will see you: the maid informed. me, I heard Mary's light step pattering down the stairs and turned to greet her, She was dressed in a smart, semi-mititary costume which she had worn while a volunteer chauffeur dur- ing the war, and she looked simply radiant, ‘Mary, we've made certain discover- ies which absolutely clear Helen of ed. taking her hands in mine d her of my find of the morning, and watched-her eyes wiaen with joy and surprise. “So, while wa haven't found out yet who murdered Jim, we know that Helen had no part in it.” Mary was thinking hard about some- thing, but she recalled herself quickly and said: “oh, it’s wonderful! “I'm going out to the Blandesvilla bridge to do a Uttle sleuthing on my own hook, Can you come with me?” “I'm sorry, but have another engage Bw yonderful, Bupps—simply other mang 1 appointed and a bit jealou asked, 4 8, ty “Iy It that young Dayis?”" She shook her head, "IUs some one you don't like y. well!"
