Jack Randolph, 5104 88th street, is a little lad who's lost his school books, a history, geography, grammar and a physiology. He left them near the Third avenue depot. Perhaps Jack forgot about the cares of school days, so sadly succeeding vacation, and became interested in some game. Maybe the reader of this note often has done the same. The writer has. He’s left his clothes, sometimes, in th« days of long ago. So Jack’s in, shall it be said, good company? It's a serious matter to Jack Ran­ dolph—the loss of his historv, geog­ raphy, grammar and physiology—and Jack offers 50 cento to the finder If they’ll rettirn them.

HOMES BEING ERECTED PATROLMEN'S DECOY NOT ON SKAGWAY HEIGHTS UPHELD BY CIRCUIT COURT George Hutchinson is completing a four-room house with bath at 97th and 4tst avenue, Skagway Heights. He is thinking of building another house after this one is complete. Joe Hutchinson is considering erecting two houses on Skagway Heights in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Felt and two children.

The city ordinance intended to pre­ vent the sale of tobacco to minors must be amended to make it effective, Circuit Judge Stapleton indicated last week when he dismissed a complaint against James Willis, proprietor of a confectionery store on Foster Road at Kern Park, charged with a viola- tion of the ordinance. Willis was convicted in municipal court and fined $100 in order that an appeal might be taken to the circuit court. The case waa dismissed when it was shown by Lou Wagner, repre­ senting Willis, that the delivery of a package of cigarettes to Cecil Broth­ ers, a minor, had been made upon presentation of a note, apparently signed by the boy’s father. At the request of Patrolman White and Harper, young Brothers, on Au­ gust 15, presented a note to Willis, asking that a package of ciparett«« be sold to “this bov", and signed "Mr. C. Brothers”. A slight change in the ordinance, Judge Stapleton pointed out, will -re­ vent dealers from selling cigarettes or tobacco to minors, even upon or­ ders from their parents or guardians. The present ordinance. Judge Staple­ ton held, does not prevent this.
