1 OPERATED a switch-beard
where, every morning at ten
o'clock, a certain broker called
A . married woman. Be always
waited until he was sure the
dame's husband was out. One
morning he called and was just in
the midst of telling- her that she
was the cat's eyebrows when a
male voice listened in.
: "What do you mean by talking
to another man's wife," the voice
thundered. !
The broker, scared out of a
year's growth, hung up in a hurry.
As soon as he was sure the
broker had left the telephone, the
stranger said: t
Say, cutie, I am not your hus
band but you certainly look good
to me, What about lunch at the
Plaza today? I will meet you at
the Fifth Avenue entrance. Now
do not pass me by even if I am
wearing a gardenia in my button
bole." And I hope to die if she didn't
take nim up on it. j

' Before I came to New York I
used to work in a small town in
Illinois where you can call every
body by his first name. There
was an awfully pretty girl, who
went to college in the East. I was
pretty, sweet on her brother Ned,
so everytime that telephone rang
yon can bet I got an earful. One
slay she called up from down town,
and I guess I was so fussed I
gave her the wrongs number. This
conversation followed: i
' "Hello, hello, I want to speak to
Mother." I
Torn mother? Is she here?"
"Now, Ned, I am In a hurry.
Put Mother on ; right away and
atop your kidding." , ?J
"I am not Ned; I wish I were.
Who is Ned? Are you sure your
mother is here?" I
"Well, she was half an hour ago.

Mysterious Notations and
Torn Money Are Evidence
Against Booze Men
i
SAN FRANCISCO, March 12.
Eihty-three onedollar bills, torn
In halves and bearing penned no
tations such as "ten cases assorted
champagne," "fifteen cases gin,'
were introduced in evidence today
in the government's c&s&agalnst
59, indicted owners, officers and
men of the Canadian ship Quadra,
seized last October by the coast
guard cutter Shawnee off the Gol
den Gate.) The seizure, according
to government witnesses, was
made well within the 12-mile limit
set i forth with the treaty with
Great Britain May 11, 1924.
The torn currency, the govern
ment aliases, was used or intended
to be used by the rum runner sus
pects on trial in making delivery
of their illicit cargo to the fleet
of power boats operating out of
Ban Francisco harbor. The Quad
ra's commander, according to the.
government's theory, retained one
half of each torn bill and made
delivery only on representation by
power boat operators of the other
hair of the bills.
The mutilated currency fell into
hands of the government agents
after it had been presented to a
San Francisco bank for redemp
tion, witnesses testified, j
Efforts were made to Identify
Vicente Quartarraro, one of. the
defendants, as the man who turn
ed the bills over to the bank. Bank
attaches testified to receiving the
torn bill but were unable to iden
tify Quartarraro as the man who
left the currency at the bank on
November 8, 1924.
Salvitore Crivello, confessed
rum runner and a government
witness, I told of getting liquor
from the Malahat, Norburn and
Quadra between April und Septem
ber of last year. ! He operated the
power boats California and Skid
dad le, Crivello ; said, while his
brother, Mariano, operated the
Marconi, which they owned. Criv
ello mentioned also the Ocean
Queen and Florence as belonging
to the smaller rum rnnning fleet.
"I took eight loads of liquor
off the Malahat, three of the Nor
burn and one from the Malahat
and Quadra together," Crivello
testified. "I land ten boatloads
at Oakland and one at Pacific
City. Vincente Quartarraro was
present at each landing and super
vised ! landing the liquor into
trucks. All landings were made
at night."
Neither C. E. Ballfn, manager ot
the Grand Union hotel, nor James
Miller, clerk, were able to certify
that J. A. McLehnon, who forfeit
ed 25,000 bond for non-appearance
at the trial, registered at the
hotel on October. 13, 1924, as a
member of the Quadra crew, al

C1E0F SKIN IS
OLD HEALTH RULE
Neutral Soap and Water Are
Essentials for Cleanli
ness and Health
The care of the skin is simple
if the facts are realised and at
tention is paid to cleanliness and
general health. Neutral soap and
water are the essentials that
make for cleanliness. ; Tbe general
health rules are those of common
sense. Avoid constipation through
a proper diet. Beware of too
much tea, coffee, alcohol, rich,
fatty and sweet foods as they are
bad for the complexion.
Pimples, known as acne, is a
curable condition but the cure
rests with skillful treatment and
is rarely cured by patent medi
cines or salves. If you have a
skin disease, seek competent med
ical advice.
Moles should not ; be irritated.
Irritating them often leads to can
cer. If a mole grows in size,
or if a brown one grows darker,
it should be removed. There are
several ways of doing this; only
a physician will know the right
one. Don't use caustics, styptics
and irritating ointments o r
squeeze or scratch a mole. You
may lose your life If you do.
More persons die fron cancer
in the State of Oregon than from
tuberculosis. It is the third great
est cause of death In this state.
At about forty, skin cancer may
develop. It often starts as a slight
scaling spot that looks like noth
ing in particular. The same pre
cautions should be used, and the
same rules followed as for moles.
If they are treated properly and
promptly, cancers of tbe skin can
