A man named Stanley Obolewicz
has confessed to the Detroit police
that four men offered him $20,000

spells his name in some such form as

When we are solicited for funds in
behalf of foreign missions, we enjoy
reminding the solicitor that all char

a contribution and send him to the
other side of the earth.

A Chicago landlord told a tenant
that he would re-lease an apartment
to him if the tenant would reduce
the number of children in his fam
ily. If the tenant had been a cruel
man without conscience, he would
have reported that the landlord
should reduce the number of his ten
ants. But he spared the landlord's
feelings, and took the case to tourt,'
where he, of course, got no relief.

As the editorial department point
ed out yesterday, it is well to remem

after the White Sox scandal that
"there is no process by which the

Thomas Burke, who has no hesi

D. A. R. HAVE
PLEASANT TIME
LAST NIGHT
GATHER AT HOME OF MRS. E". H.
WESC0TT AND ENJOY VERY
PROFITABLE MEETING
From Tuesday's Daily. .
Last evening the members of Fon
tenelle chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, enjoyed a most
delightful session at the home of
Mrs. E. H. Wescott on high school
hill, and one in which the member
ship found a great deal of pleasure
as well as profit in the interesting
facts of history that were discussed.
The subject of study for the chapter
for the" winter season is that of
"Noted Persons in History" and the
topic ofghe evening was that of
"George Washington.' as the first of
the great figures of American history.
Miss Bernese Newell had a very
interesting paper covering the life
and character of the great general
and first president of the American
republic and one that was thorough
ly enjoyed by everyone. Mrs. Earl
A. St an field also gave a review of
the D. A. R. magazine, the official
publication of the society of the de
scendants of the early residents of
the republic.
As guests of honor of the evening
the ladies of Fontenelle chapter had
with them Mrs. J. B. Martin and
daughter, Miss Edith, and the latter
gave a very interesting account of
her visit in New England during theJ
past summer and a few points on the
history of the early settlement of
that band of pilgrims on the rocky
coast of the New England states.
Miss Martin had spent some time at
Plymouth,. Massachussets, the land
ing place of the pilgrims and while
there had a splendid opportunity of
studying the early history and view
ing the scenes of activities of the
pilgrims.
She told of the colonial homes
which are there and many of which
are filled with the relics of the first
settlers and personal effects of those
who came to this country as a party
of pilgrims on the Mayflower. In
her remarks Miss Martin tojd of the
witchcraft period in colonial history
and of the traces that can still be
seen of the period in the architecture1
and finishing of the homes which
iear signs supposed to frighten away
the supposed witches from the var
ious hearthstones.
Many pictures were shown by Miss
Martin of the homes at Plymouth as
well as the reproduction of a piece
of tapestry which had been used in
furnishing one ol the pilgrim homes
which the pioneer had prepared for
his bride from old England.
The celebration of the 300th an
niversary of the landing of the Pil
grims that is being observed over the
United States and England was
brought to the mind of the ladies by
ihe announcement of the fact that
in the spring a boat modeled on that
of the original Mayflower, and peo
pled by residents of Boston, England,
will sail for this country and land
it Cape Cod, where the vessel bear
ing the hardy pioneers first made
their landing.
At the conclusion of the interest
ing discussion and outline of the
early history of the country, the la
lies were treated to a very enjoyable
luncheon served by the hostess and
which brought to a close the most
pleasant evening.

Right from the start Spurs let you know what
you're smoking. Plain as day, on the back of the
package, it says: "In Spur Cigarettes the good to
baccos from the Orient are properly mixed with
Burley and other home-grown tobaccos."
In your language that means "good old-time to
bacco taste." Haven't you just been hankering for it?
Those good tobaccos are rolled in satiny, imported
paper and crimped, not pasted. That's something
to know, too. In smoker's talk, crimping means
"easier drawing, slower burning, better taste." Ex
amine a Spur and sec how it's made.
And as the finishing touch, Spur's fragrance and
freshness are sealed and delivered in a three-fold
package rich brown and silver.
