he should not be punished for con
tempt of court. Several weeks ago
Holbrook began n divorce suit agniiibc
his wife. A week later sho entered
tho court and filed n cross petition
charging that she was inveigled into
tho marriage by Holbrook and his
mother, who represented her age to
the authorities as 18 whop sho was
but 15. She states that tho mar
riage was arranged so that Holbrto!:
could cvado being drnfted into the
army. Several days later Mrs. Hol
brook filed an application in tho
c.ourt to gain possession of a bed,
mattress, springs, dresser nnd three
chairs which sho saiU her husuanu re
fused to turn over to her. Tho judge
Issued an order commanding the hus
band to release the property. Upon
sending for the property Monday the
wife again was frustrated in her at
tempt to get tho furniture by her
husband's refusal to recognizo the
court's authority. Tuesday thejudgo
ordered the sheriff to seize tho property-nnd
deliver it to the wife. This
was done. Holbrook now fnces a
term of imprisonment for contempt
of court unless ho can show a good
reason why he should not be p'ii;ih
ed. He lives at 303 West Seventh
street and his wife lives with hor pn
rents in South Sioux City.,. .Slozed
with cramps while swimming at Crys
tal lake yesterday afternoon, Harry
Marks, a formor Sioux City resident,
was drowned despite heroic attempts
of a number of people at rescue. Ills
body was recovered two and a half
hours later by Commissioner of Po
lice J. B. Mann and n sound f police
who had gone to tho resort with a
pulmoter. Marks, who has been em
ployed as a head waiter at tho Fonta

afternoon. For a tiino ho and his
wife swam together and later, tiring
of tho sport, Mrs, Marks retired to
tho bathhouse. Alternately pushing
forward and swimming toward a row
boat, Marks remained In tho water.
Suddenly ho flank from sight, reap
pearing four times, according to wit
nesses of his bnttlo for life. No
bathers were near him nt tho time,
but a rowboat was hnstlly manned by
several men who hastened to the spot,
renshing thcro nftcr ho had gone
down for tho last time. In tho mean
time other people at tho resort tele
phono for the police pulmoter, be
lieving that ho would bo rescued in

the bottom in tho area whore he dis
appeared, but without reaching his
body. With the arrival of Commis
sioner Mann, Capt. Fallon and Motor
cycle Policemen Green, Brown and
Bert Luke further attempts at illv
ing were made. Tho rescue party
was greatly hampered by tho soft,
muddy bottom of the lake nnd finally
resorted to tho use of grappling
hooks. Tho body was brought to tho
surface by Policeman Bert Luke with
tho hooks. From its condition if
was evident that Marks, who wont
down in twelve feet of water, was
buried head first in tho mud, his
head, shoulders and upper part of
tho body being completely covered
with n sticky, plastic mass. Rigor

Making of a good jelly does not
necessarily need to depend upon
luck. Tho essential part of fruit
juice that makes jelly set is n com
mercial substnnco called pectin.
Since this is cssentinl, one should
dotormino whether tho fruit juice to
be used contains this , substance.
This may bo determined by adding
2T. of grain alcohol t,o 2T. of hot
fruit juice. Cool, and if pectin is
present n lump of jolly will bo form

cate the amount of pectin present.

Keep in mind tho caponizing and

your careful consideration nt this

Tho hardest part of flying Is land!
Ing, mid It Is In landing that most
wouUMie aviators cotno to crlef. An
experienced pilot who makes a bad
landing nnd goes bouncing across n
field Is disgraced, and usually feels the
humiliation to the utmost.
Early In tho war a "ladles' day" was
held at an nlrdromo in England.
Among the guests who thronged tho
field were many Indies, in gain attire.
Lato In the afternoon n pilot who' wan
n captain gave an exhibition perform
ance, lie left tho ground in perfect
style, did n succession of yertical
turns nnd n few "acrobatics," then
shut olt his motor to land and receive
the applause that ho knew was await
ing him from the fair sex.
As the mnchlno nenred the ground
tho captain misjudged his distance,
with the result that ho hit the ground
hard, made a series of high Jumps' all
the way across tho field and cam at
last to rest Just In tlnio ,o avoid crash
Ing into a fence. Ho turned his ma
chine, "taxied" to the hangar and some
what sheepishly rejoined tha gtlests.
Ills fellow pilots were having r bard
timo to restrain themselves from
laughter, and Just as it appeared that
they had succeeded ayery fa Bush
ing sort of womnn approached Ihe cap
tain nnd said In accents loud and
clear.: ' I
"My dear captain, on behalf of tbo
ladles present I wish to thank you for
tho wonderful exhibition of flylnsyou
