mander-in-chief of the army
made a deep impression upon
the members of that body, ac-
cording to the Division of Infor-
mtaion and Publication of the
George Washington Bicentennial
Commission.
A few days before Washing-
ton received his commission,
John Adams, writing to Elbridge
Gerry, of Massachusetts, had the
following to say;
“There is something charm-
ing to me in the conduct qf
Washington. A gentleman of

ious retirement, his family and
friends, sacrificing hs ease and
hazarding all in the cause of his
country! His views are noble
and disinterested. Tie declared,
when he accepted the mighty
trust, that he would lay before
us an- exact account of his ex-
penses, and not accept a shilling
for pay.”
Dignity is a fine attribute of
character that is more and more
in danger of being lost or left in
the lurch in our hurly-burly life.
It isn’t necessary to go around
with a long face, an up-turned
nose or a sliff upper lip in or-
der to make an impression ou
your friends, but it is noticeable
when any man observes all the
proprieties of an occasion and
does the ri&ht thing without os-
tentation.
The country has never had
but one Washington—perhaps
never will — but more of us
should profit from the inspiring
example he set on the lieauliful
trait of being dignified.
The offenders should be
to their lair, and when
ound guilty the extreme penal-

A Case in Point
Tn San Francisco audiences are
quite racially conscious, especially
the Irish. They tell a story of a
delegation of Irish women who de-
manded that a theatre owner with-
draw a certain picture. The objec-
tion was that it pictured the Irish
as a belligerent race instead of a
quiet, home-loving people.
At the conclusion of the inter-
view tho manager promised to take.
the matter under consideration.
“Well, you’d better,’ ’advisud one
of tin1 delegation. ?Tf ymi, show
that picture, we’ll burn your the- "
atro down.’’
and she went away. But before
she could return to Pine Hill there
was her duty as a reporter to bo
taken care of. Accordingly she
crossed Main • street and slipped
through the gate behind the Re-
formed g Church and into tho
shabby T>ld building on the little
side street where the Bannea-^as
published. S • |
There she found old Tom in his
shirt sleeves, feet on his desk,
smoking the smelliest pipe in all
the world and gazing with troubled
eyes at the white-washed^ bricks
on the wall behind the presses.
“•“F don't-like it, {Jimmy,” was
his greeting. “Crime in King-
cliffe—garden spot of the Hudson.
Thirty years I’ve put the Banner
to bed night after night with noth-
ing worse in its columns than a
brawl time the Harrison boys got
frisky and tried to wreck the fill-
ing station over at Novel City. I
dunno, Bimmy. Seems like we’d
better play this down. Kind of
ease it along as an accident.”
“Dad Martin, you’ll do nothing
of the sort! Here’s a perfectly
gorgeous murder in high society-
it’s pretty high society, anyway—
and you . sit there talking about
making an accident of it! Of all
the old sillies!”
“Ah, now, Bimmy—”
“Don’t, yon aay another single
word! Or yes—do say it—only on
paper. ‘Crime in Kingcliffe —
serpent in the garden —’ that’ll do
fine. A good long editorial, doa-
ble column measure. Give it to
’em, Dad. And now I’ll do my own
stuff.”
He regarded her apprehensively
but said no more. For a long time
the only sounds in the Banner
office were the scratch of old
Tom’s pencil and the click of Bim’s
typewriter and finally the type-
writer was left without a rival
when old Tom, muttering some-
thing about seeing a man, snatched
up his hat and made off down the
street.

GRASS VALLEY, Calif. (UP) —
Once a rip-roaring gold mining
town, Ton Bet, ]0 miles east of

of many “ghost towns” of Califor-
nia’s colorful gold rush days. The
population now consists of one fam-

Subtle Motive
Bim began her report of what
had happened at Eagle’s Nest with
an account of the missing jewels.
She meant to make it a story of a
robbery which had ended in mur-
der. But as words clicked off be-
neath her finger* and sheets of
copy began to pile on the desk, she
realized that she was writing a tale
of mystery instead—a tale of a
mysterious murder in which rob-
bery was merely an incident.
Despit* th* fact that everybody
connected with the affair had ac-
cepted the robbery motive, tacitly
at least, she now knew that all the

Waiter had been for Lis chance
and exactly why. She resented the
fact that everyone seemed bent
upon marrying her off to Walter.
Of course this was Walter’s big

make the most of it—cover him-
freafts keelffg^the Keff with*g!ory«-and the WotHd
e butler a piece of help him if she could. So often
they had talked together about
sucn a possibility; so very well she
comprehended what it meant to
him.__
., ? I . Her Chance

1th Ted. It j«-t Burn Whs her‘chancens well. '
Here was the story she had been
waiting for—the one which would
lift the Banner out of obscurity
and put it on the map as the best
written, best edited, most progres-
sive newspaper outside the me-
tropolis- Sne, herself, meant to do
some editorials; also she would
handle the account of the murder
at Eagle’s-Nest all herself with
her name at the top of the col-
umn, “By Bhima Iris Martin,” be-
neath headlines in husky block
type. And then if old Tom
couldn’t or wouldn’t see what it
did for the Banner—well perhaps
there would be an offer for her
services from one of the New York
newspapers. Not that she wished
to leave Kingcliffe—not that it
wouldn’t break her heart to leave
—but wherf a girl had decided on
a career she must allow no con-
siderations of sentiment to stand
in the way.
All of this flashed-.throtlgh her
mind in the little silence which
followed Chief Fury’s departure
and so her voice was a bit brusk
as she told what she had learned
from Charlie Perrone about Mary
Frost.
Walter said nothing, but Rey-
nolds grunted, wagging his chins.
“Figured we’d hear more of the
Frost woman. She’s all tied up in
this like a sore thumb.”-.
Bim protested at that. "Mary’s
the best woman in the world, Mr.
Reynolds. She tried to cover up
things about Ted, was all. He is
not very nice to her, you see, and
she does that all the time. She’s
as patient as she can be and meek
—you’d never believe how tneek
she is.”
“Look out for the meek ones
when they do step out,” remarked
the Sheriff.
“Oh, you’re hard-boiled!” Bim
was greatly offended. Of course,
Mary Foot had not told the truth
—that is, not all of the truth—but
no one could blame her. Still it
was foolish to try to hide the facts
about Ted at a time like this.
“Supposing I see Mary and have
a talk with her,” she offered. "She
might be more frank with me.”
They considered the dol
Reynolds objecting mildly. “These
official questionings are particular
things. Miss Bim. You have to
have two sets of eyes; one to
watch what you say so’s not to tip
what you’re thinking and the other
to watch what the other fellow’s
thinking so’s not to bother too
much with what he says.”
“But this wouldn’t be official
I’ll just gossip with Mary a little
and then 1’11 say I know she went
home alone. Please let me, Mr.
Reynolds. IH be careful.” . ---

HOLLYWOOD.—In Europe to-
day ftlmoxt 12,000 women are grow-
ing long hair to provide wigs and
other forma of hirsute make-up for
Hollywood actors.
■ This is nivealed by Ernest West-
more,. chief make-up artise for
Radio Pictures.
Tho women, most of them Ger-
man, French and Austrian peasants,
. earh from $50 to $100 for a <Top of
hair, which is clipped annually.
They Work under contract to regu-
lar hair companies, of which, West-
mosa estimates, there are eight
scattered throughout Continental
Europe, —
' These companies ship annually
! about 4.000 pounds of natural hair,
most of which is consigned to Hol-
- ly.wood. About four to six ounces
of hair is obtained from each wom-
an. Packed In 200-pound bales, it
is shipped to the United States,
where It must undergo a rigid san-
itary examination by the customs
officials.
Onlyi the most vigorous wmmcn
are selected as producers, because
theirs is the most commercially de-
sirable hair. As there are nd crop
fatalities caused by droughts or ex-
cessively severe winters, the gam-
ble is a safe and profitable one for
the distributing agencies.

little note book.
Walter would read his notes, ex-
plaining them carefully and at
length to his chief and then Mr.
Fury would nod sagely and wrinkle
his eyes and shift the long, black
cigar he always smoked unlighted.
He sat with his chair tipped
against the wall and his hands
crossed on his stomach and Bim
.saw at once that he was completely
at sea.

tle book, Mr. Fury got up lumber-
<ngly, still nodding, and pulled his
hat down over tne front of his
head.

“Chattces” and having Douglas
Fairbanks Jr. as its star.
Over the control— board, Red-
mond's fingers move with the skill
of those of an organist. H« touches
a button here and ton sticks of dy-
namite explode half a mile away.
He touches a lever there and a
bomb of black powder explodes just
four feet away from the flying feet
