JEWS OF WASHINGTON STILL RE GARD FORD FORD RATHER DOUBTFULLY : Washington, Ju 1 Heny k Ford is 2 'on trial" 4 ig 3 of ashington. Before, they canmmaend him for apologizing for his Dearborn Independent's attacks Maitat their race he must prove by actions that his regrets are sincere. 'At a meeting this week, tite first of its kind in the country, called to pass 's withdrawal of anti-Sem- itic- charges, representatives' of virtu- ally every Jewish congregation and organization here debated the auto: race." The resolution also stated that Ford had "no political motive" for his recent retraction and that he was "too independently rich to have finan- cial or other ulterior motives." Many of the delegates refrained from voting. Harry Carroll, president of the com- bined Orthodox Jewish congregations in this city, introduced the resolution. Rabbi J. T. Loeb urged its immediate adoption "to close the incident" and show "that we of the Hebrew race are ble of as great magnanimity as mobile manufacturer's ps They finally voted, 37 to 23, to post- pode action on a resolution declaring ord 'was to be commended "for the time, trouble and expense incurred by him in ascertaining the truth about the Jewish race and for trying, by his last public statement, to repair the injury already done to a mich-libeled Mr. Ford." "He has wronged us and manfully tried to make amends," said the rabbi. "Above all we ought to show we are not after any pound of flesh." Ford, he added, could help the race greatly by assisting oppressed Jews "abroad.

They continued . their journey Thursday. at 5 a.m, stopping at Tusa, Oklahoma. They expect to hop off from Long Beach on Aug- ust 11, "I'm tickled to death," Miss Dor- ap said, as she powdered her nose and straightened . her brown hair: "Afraid? Not a bit. We can't leave too soon to smit me." 'I conceived this flight before Lindbergh made his trip to Paris. After Lindbergh crossed the At- lapaic, I decided that the Pacific was the only thing lett. Well, Maiitland and Hegenberger have stolen 'our thunder there," she ssid, almost chagrined, "but I'll be the first woman to fly across the Facitic--and that's something." Miss Doran several months ago urged Malloska to finance a trans- Oceanic flight.

K. Webster, is a sprightly handling of the old theme of the substitution of one twin for the other. The complications that arise when an unmarried sist- er attempts to fill the piace of her married twin make the story. "Short Grass," by G., W. Ogden, is 8 western story of the 1850's, The plot, which concerns life in Pawnee Bend, a lawless frontier town, is well conceived and well executed in breezy style. "The Red Road," by H. Pendexter, is a romance of Braddock's -fefeat. While Braddock's defeay 1s the great, central, historical. fact of the story, the writer knows his trade too well to allow history to usurp the place of fiction. Fights in the forest; sieges in the cabins; rough-and-tumbhle border sports; a funeral pyre scattered just in time go towards making up a swift run- ning narrative. 'The Beadle," hy Pauline Smith, author of "The Lit- tle Karoo," is a realistic romance of the people of little Karoo in South Africa. "The Return of Blackshirt,"" by Bruce Graeme, is the further adventures of Black- shirt, an engaging and elusive Raffles. By a cruel twist of fate the master cracksman is once more thrown back on his nefarious pro- 'ession. P. G. Wodehouse has in- troduced a new character in 'The Small Bachelor." It is a masterly comedy of unexpected events as George Finch finds his marriage in- terrupted and tragically postponed. "Dear Old Templeton," by Alice Brown, is an interesting study in the relations between parents and children of this modern day. Templeton is a lovable, quizzical, imperfect hero, hut he sees life whole, whereas his wife, Amy, in her absent-minded intellectuality, has "the far-sight that takes onlv the international into account and fails to salute the duster under her nose." Their danghter Sally has a charm all her own. "Runaway Trail," by Albert M. Treynor, is a western story full of adventure and mystery. Somewhere on the des- ert roamed a great black stallion, leader of a small herd of horses which did not.resemble the native Western ponies of the range. It was also rumored that the famous Blue Boy, one of the greatest race horses of Kentucky, had not been killed with his companions in the train wreck and fire a few years before. The struggle in the desert between two groups of hunters for the horse makes a story full of suspense and excitement. "The Road to Lamaland," by Ganpat, (M. L.

"Richard Wagner," as he lived, hy W., Wallace is a shrewd and frequently harsh biography of the man rather than of the music- fan. While the author recognizes Wagner's genius as a composer he flouts the stories of a youthful aranslation of the Odyssey and tries to destroy the 'myth" of Wagner's profound scholarship. He pic- tures him as selfish, arrogant and conceited, It is, however, an en- lightening book, 'Household Hints Some women will not Woodenware usc wooden mixing is quickly bowls and wooden cleaned this kitchen spoons because way. they think they are hard to clean.

It gives a detailed account of the methods used with children who cannot get along well at home or in other schools and cites gpome of his cases, both suc- cesses and failures.

REDUCES WEIGHT Not Popular B But Twice as Effective as Other Method Montreal, July 16.--In seeking to redress the results of a faulty food balance between intake and output, it is seldom possible to succeed by increasing the output in the form of muscular exercise; the balance can be effectively re- dressed only by decreasing the in- take, writes a medical correspond- ent to the London Daily Chronicle. There is a fact which emphasizes this: a curious fact of recent dis- covery which surprised the discov- erer very much, A well-known I'rench physician was treating a man for obesity hy the classical method of diet and exercises with the anticipated de- gree of success. During the course of the treatment the patient broke is leg in a motorcar accident. his, of course. necessiated almost complete immobilization for sev- eral weeks. Surprise for Doctor doctor and patient very much feared that this would seri- ously retard the loss of weight which had hitherto been progress- ing favorably, To the astonishment of both, when the patient was at last able to reach the scales, it was found that the rate at which he had lost weight during his compulsory im- mobilization was exactly double the rate at which he had lost it while taking active exercise. And this, on a diet which was quantitatively and gualitatively identical. This almost unbelievable phen- omenon was reported, and the ex- periment has heen repeated by sev- eral observers, with the same re- sult, The diet was, of course, in each case a fairly drastic one on Bant- ing's lines, but how' it comes about that a fasting person can lose weight more rapidly in a con- dition of complete quiescence than he can when vigorously extending himself is still a complete mystery. Enforced Sleéeplesness In addition to fasting and bant- ing (dieting) there is another phy- siological means of losing flesh rapidly, namely, enforced sleepless- ness. It is not a popular method, but it is astonishingly efficacious. Those who have made experi- ments with this method declare that it causes flesh to disappear '| more than twice as rapidly as it can be made to melt by rigid star- vation, and this while the non- sleeper is on a full diet. It sounds incredible; but jt seems to be per- fectly true. APARTMENT HOUSE OWNER ON STAND Vancouver Wan Exsmined by Fire Marshal Regard- ing Holacaust Vancouver, July 16. -- Grilling of George E. Lightheart, owner of the Royal Alexandra apartments, by J. A. Thomas, Fire Marshall of British Col- umbia, was the feature of the opening session of the inquest into the death of eight persons mn the fire which swept the build ng here last Friday. After Lightl art had described how he had first seen the fire while driving in his automobile towards Coal Harbor where he intended going out on his private launch, from a point in the Fairview district, about two miles from where the building was situated in the west end, Thomas preceeded with the cross-examination. Lightheart declared that when the building was completed in 1911 it was furmished with fire protection equip- ment to a greater extent than was re- quired by civic regulations, and that it was solidly constructed. "I have exanmuned the building and can find only one place where the fire burnd through the heavy floor, and in no "place has the solid wall been burned through," he asserted. There was a heated exchange be- tween Thomas and the witness when the subject of chains alleged to have been fastened to windows leading to fire escapes was brought up. The latter insisted that the windows could have been opened. "You heard Both Teddy Luckhart des- a window chain Grant had hung by ! " commented the and could not escape, { Fire Marshal.

In a letter which he left he stated, and she, in a foot-note cor- roborated the statement, that they loved each other and despaired of being able to be married, and so could not live any longer. A cheque for $600 was left to cover the funeral and other expenses. In- structions were given in regard to the hail insurance and other mat- ters pertaining to his estate.
