(AP) Blackmailers, angered because f their , demands had been refused, sought revenge ana almost claim ed the life of a woman yesterday in their desperate efforts to strike terror into a Kelley Lake home, 23 miles east of Tacoma, it was learned" today. Mrs. Louis Wahl of the Little lake community 12 miles from : .Sumner was the near victim, A dynamite bomb that blasted the kitchen range in the Wahl home to bits would hare killed, her out right had she not left the kitchen a moment before the explosion , came. . Details of the death plot, learn ' ed today by the Tacoma Ledger, i 'were at first denied but later eon firmed by the Pierce county sner- - lfrs office which had witnneia an nouneement of the crime. Mr. and Mrs. Wahl hare been . receiving threatening letters for : two months past, it was learned ; ThiM letter demanded various 'sums of money with dire results l to the family's three children ' the demands were refused. The 'Wahls have steadfastly refused to acceed to the demands and until recently did not take the threats seriously, remembering a similar case early this year near Fife. Tuesday morning about 9:30 'o'clock Mrs. Wahl, after sending the children to school, placed large tun or water on the stove and built a fire to heat the water for a family washing. . When the 'fire was burning; we.ll she placed ;two more sticks of wood in the a, store and stepped out of the kitchen door to the back porch 'for more water. 7 Hardly had she left the room when there was mighty blast that wrecked the r stove and hurled the tub of water ' across-tho room. , Terrttled. Mrs. -Wahl stoned only long enough to ' see that the water apparently" put out the tire. from the stove and ' then fled from tho scene. She hurried to Carbonado, where her ' husband is employed and they re turned together, only to find the home on fire. This "hlase, pre- J sumably started by an ember from . ; th original blast, naa not gainea ' much headway and they quickly " extinculshed it with a few buckeU of water. u The Wahls are not wealthy and cannot understand why they were . singled out for the attention of ' extortionists.

J., May 1 (AP): The airmen of America were presented today with the means of speaking from cloudy peaks with their bosses, their sweethearts, or anyone else en the earthbound millions who have ao eess to a regular telephone in strument. The Western Electric company demonstrated in a series of tests for thy press an Invention Unking planes on the .wing to the land lines of the commercial telephone system. The first call was put through by an Associated Press reporter who went aloft in the flying tele phone booth at 11 a.m., and stay ed up until noon. Wearing a reg ular telephone headset and speak ing into a microphone held in his hand he gave the telephone num ber of the Associated Press office in New York to the Bell Tele phone Experimental Radio station at Whlppany, N. J., by wireless telephone. A moment later he heard the A. P. Switchboard operator respond f and was switched to the city desk which in turn handed the call ov er to a rewrite man who took the report of the demonstration from the flying reporter. Though the reporter in the plane was sitting only four feet from i the roaring engine, from which he was separated only by a thin pan of glass, he could hear the people in the New York of fice as clearly as an ordinary phone conversation, and his words were plainly audible In New York. The takeoff was mode In a, driving rain but the telephone plane rode above the .storm and the demonstration was made while 2,000 feet over Plalnfield. N.

Yam and Knarf the little sha dow children were in the garden when they came across a rabbit and a tortoise. The rab bit, being an Easter rabbit, took no notice of the tortoise. On its part, the tortoise, being a very old tortoise, took no notice of the rabbit. But the shadow-children took notice of both. . "Let's arrange a race," said Yam. Hanld and Knarf gave an exclamation of surprise. "A race!" they cried. "What good would that be?" "It would be exciting. "How can it be exciting " said Knarf, "when we all know before hand who is going to win?". "The rabbit hasn't a chance against the tortoise!" he repeated. "Why, it's Just the other way around. The tortoise hasn't a chance against the rabbit." "Don't be silly," retorted Han ld, "everybody knows that when the rabbit and the tortoise held a race, the tortoise won. I read it in a Book." In vain did Knarf try to prore to her that the rabbit, s legs were longer than tho tortoise's, that it was famous for Its speed, that it often happened that It could out run a paca ox aogs. uania wouia not be convinced. "No matter how, fast the rabbit can run," she said, "I'm sure that the tortoise will win." Hereupon Mijl approached the tortoise and said: "Do you want to run a race against the rabbit? "WelL" said, the tortoise, "I'm not acustomed to running races against a rabbit, but as U s only an Easter rabbit. I'll do it. Then Yam approached the rab bit 'with the same Query. "As a rule," replied the rabbit. ."I don't like to race against a tortoise, but as it is suck an old tortoise. I'll consent. Just to humor it along, At this, the shadow-children drew a line across the path. The tortoise and the rabbit were to run as far as the garden wan and then return. Knarf sprang on the rabbit's back and Hanld stood on the tortoise's back. "I'm sure the tortoise will win." said Hanld, as the race began. The rabbit gave two Jumps and reached- the garden wall, while the tortoise plodded wearily along. "Humph." said the rabbit, "there's no use hurrying. It will take the tortoise hours to catch up with me." And the rabbit was about to take a nap. "No, no." cried Knarf. "You mustn't take a nap now. First fin ish the race." t aA & J "Do Yea Waal te Roe a Race? The rabbit took another Jump and got half-way back. "The tor. tolse can't possibly win," said the rabbit, stopping .again. "It isn't more than a toot away from the starting line. I have plenty of time to nibble a leaf before it reaches the wall." .And despite Knarf's protests, it went over to the leaf tad began to nibble it. Knarf tried to push It" and to pall 'it by the ears. It refused to movei Mean while the "tortoise was coming along, slowly, but steadily. - Tou see," cried Hanld to Knarf, "you see, I am going to win." -JtG : But Knarf didn't give; Hip.' He crept up close' to the rabbit's ear and at once made a noise like the bark of a dog. Like a flash, -the rabbit gave a tremendous leap for ward. Over the line it, went and ; 1 far beyond it la fact, into the middle of a bush. Knarf didn't mind. He crawled out and ran back to Hanld, who was still far from the line. "I win. I win," he shouted. Hanld shook her head. "You win," she admitted, "but the rab bit didn't. If not for you, it would have lost." Knarf was too wise to agree. So he grinned slyly and .said nothing. MEUSHH OF WIS COLLAPSE MEXICO CITY, May 2 (AP) Today's labor' holiday and the fact that no newspapers were pub lished kept the Mexican public in ignorance tonight of the virtual termination of the revolution be gun some seven weeks ago. Son ora, which was the last strong hold of the rebels, came virtually into complete possession of the federal forces last night. Although twenty four hours had elapsed since the news reach ed the presidency, the population was not aware of the fall of No gales and Agua Prleta, the pre cipitate flight of rebel leaders and the disintegration ofHhe remain ing rebel armies. Fresh tidings were lacking even In official Quarters for President Portes Gil spent a quiet day at home and his offices were closed as tight as any business house.' It was the first complete days of rest that the president and his imme diate assistants had experienced in nearly two months. STRIKERS QUIET CHARLOTTE, N.

Cleve land News. n - , Home-Making Helps By ELEANOR ROSS Color a Delight but in Modera tion BLESSINGS on the man who started the fad for color in the kitchen, and rescued us from the hospital-white kitchens that gave home a sanitary but slightly institutional look. White Is not the most cheerful color at all times. It's cold as well as cool. And when it is less than white, it is rather depressing. For indelible stains will get on some surfaces. Scratches and chips happen in the most careful households. And they ate worse looking' on white than on any other color. No one need go wrong on .se lecting colbrs that harmonize. Col or charts are offered to assist in right combinations, so that your floor covering, furniture, draper ies in three or four contrasting. tints or shades blend beautifully. There are definite laws of color harmony as definite as the laws of musical harmony, and anyone can choose colors expertly with a little care. But there are two pitfalls. One Is getting to be quite common the tendency to overdo colors, es pecially the bright ones. It is very well to have a cheery kitchen of green and yellow with a bit of red and white netting for curtains. Good enough. But if you walk from this into a blue and gray aad orange dlnlnc room, then into a lavender and old-gold bathroom well, the grand total is some what' Jangling to the eyes and nerves. That's exactly the color scheme of an actual suite and beautiful rooms they ware, each one. Assembled in a single apart ment the effect was rather appal ling. There is such a-thing as too much color, and it has decidedly Irritating effect. Like the apart ment of a futurist poet in Green wich Village. This nice boy want ed to . express Ills . turbulent Indi viduality,- so he set about painting his entire apartment In . the style used to camouflage - battleships during the war. Large blobs- ef , color In irregular shapes were out lined with black, and this sharp motif covered every inch of a three-room apartment w alia, doors, floors, yes, even the ceil ing. Plenty of color, but the en semble was bewildering. Can t't.ig be real, you asked yourself? If rooms are en suite, not only must the colors in each room rar monize, but there should be a con secutive blend, so that moving from one room to another one doesn't become too painfully con scious of wild color. Rooms in a home should be restful, not irri tating. Too much positive coloring has a subtle but sure influer.ee agaainst relaxation. Another point to watch I n choosing color combination I n, how will It suit those who live in the room? Not only in their color preferences, but in the becoming ness. There's Mrs. B., a rather plain little woman with atraw- colored hair and regular but un distinguished features. She ha? the habit of wearing - tan end brown clothes and doesn't strive one as at all good-looking, uri;l you see her in- her own living room. By some happy chance he tints of walla and draperies are exactly suited to her. Just the right green and gold and vieit-t scattered about provide a frame for her type and coloring. Sre steps Into her own living-room and the otherwise plain vonitn looks exquisite. The. colors, in a room are part of the stage setting for the occu pants.- They should provide a pleasing background, and this may mean that you have to rats by a tempting combination, or even .relinquish your favorite col ors. In order to achieve those that are becoming. 175 Dresses at $1.00 See & on Page 7 . .
