after her son sally aa they drove to

Judge gripped Eve's hand tight and
said in a low voice, "But they won't

dered, appalled, how much of this sort
of thing the child had supposed real
before this.
"Why. darling, Marylln waa Just
Joking!"
"But how can you tell about grown
folks?" Judge said, his face twitching.
She waa relieved when he-began to
discuss dentistry. It seemed he had
never had a tooth filled. They always
moved to some other school before he
could get around to the school nurses'
requests.
"This litUe man," aald the New
York dentist when Eva had deposited
a rather awe-stricken Judge, had her
wave and called back for him, "will
have to come back next week for the
rest of the fillings. Always a mistake
to give in to children about staying
away from the dentist" He gave her
the appointment card with a disap

the young doctor later, coming out to
sit rtavely -;eir her. "Meanwhile I'd

aeemed rather disapproving. "The

But doctor, they re th last people

"Their son does the worrying for
the family," said the doctor grimly.
Tell them from me, or send them In
and let me tell them. that If they

out to Denny, driving out in hia old

books of comics thoughtfull: bought
by Denny to keep him from talking.

"There, stop It, Judge," Denny said
as the child broke into lobbing, and
tried to take him from Eve. But he

Billy The KM
In tho days of the old west, men
notched their guns as a memento of
each human life they had taken. Billy
the Kid's guns were qualified for 21
such notchea before their owner was
31 years old.
Evidently some ji Billy's killings

of the time for Instead of being re
garded as the Dilllnger of his day.
he was looked upon as more or less
of a hero. Lew Wallace, governor of
the New Mexico Territory, offered the
youthful desperado a complete par
don If he would give himself up.
Billy refused to surrender so peace
officers hunted him down in 1881.
How he met his death seems to be
somewhat in doubt. It la said that
he was ahot down by n one-time
friend. Sheriff Pat Garrett, but other
authoritl;a claim he was hanged.
Diamond Values
Because large stones were exceed
ingly rare until the African mines
were found to contain a good many
of them, the value of diamonds waa
fixed on a basis dependent on the
square of their weight, from 1750 to
1870. With the discovery of large dia
monds becoming comparatively com
mon, the system no longer worked.
Small diamonds did not depreciate
In the cutting as much as larger dia
monds and were thus ordinarily
worth more. Large diamonds are to
day worth only a fraction more per
karat than small diamonds.

Tongue Point Base
Hearing April 22
WASHINGTON. April 20. (AP)
The bouse naval affairs committee
set April 22 for hearings on a bill by
Representative James Mott of Salem,
Ore., which would establish a !.
500.000 naval air base at Torwue
Point. Ore., at the mouth of the Col
lumbia river.
The bill received a favorable com
mittee report a year ago but died in
congress.
. The measure lacks the approval of
the navy department, which holds
the base would be of little value in
the event of war.
Mott said Governor Charlea H.
Martin of Oregon. Mayor Joseph K.
Carson of Portland, James Hope of
Astoria, ore., and General Thomas
Rllea of the Oregon national guard
will testify.
