City Clerk Hunter asserts that the 10 days inS which a supplementary recall petition should have been filed in his office, expired at S p. m., Tuesday. No supplemental petition has been filed and, therefore, he con tends that the original petition for the recall of Mayor Smith and City Commissioners Ringer, Towl and Ure has been automatically render ed null and void. The petition was filed with the city clerk August 15, containing 5,480 signatures. August 23 the city clerk reported to the council that the petition did not contain suffi cient signatures, although he did not certify as to the correctness of the signatures in the petition. Basen on Qat Proposition. The clerk, in his certificate, stated that he held that the number of sig natures should have been based on .10 per cent of the total vote on the fjas plant purchase proposition at the last city election, which was about 22,000. The promoters of the recall peti tion have been basing their calcula tion on 10 days from the time the city clerk certified to the city council, which was on August 25, rathir than on 10 days from the date of the clerk's certificate. They believe there is a joker in this and that they yet have two days of grace in which to file their supplement petition, which they declare contains 4,000 or 5,000 additional names. May Disregard Old Petition. "If they are going to follow these methods and refuse to accept our supplimeutal petition when it shall be filed, all we will have to do is to disregard the old petition and start all over again," said J. R. Lones, one of the attorneys who is inter ested in the 'recall movement. "We can and will prepare another recall petition and will be able to obtain all the signatures that the city clerk or another city hall official may believe are necessary. We can go beyond the 6,400 limit which they have set. We can go out and get 10,000 signatures just as easy as 5,000. It only means a little work. Another recall petition will be started if the city hall officials insist that it is necessary." Burglar Gets $1,000 In Loot From Home While Family Is Away A burglar stole furs amd clothing worth $1,000 belonging to Mrs. H. F Newton, 2852 Newport avenue, '1 iipsHav.

If the occasion of our difference had been other than it was I am afraid I should have experienced a distinct thrill of gratified feminine malice at Katie's revelation. Dicky's discomfiture when he learned that in his own phraseology I "had beaten him to" the very scheme he had outlined for not meeting him at the breakfast table had indeed something ludicrous in it, but my sombre mood held no opportunity for lightening. For as the moment approached for my return to the Bayview school my facing of the gruesome tragedy in which my principal was involved in which, indeed, Alice Holcombe and I might be enmesh ed my nerves began to assert themselves again. The delicious iced cantaloupe suddenly lost its flavor, and I pushed it away only half-eaten. Katie, coming in with the cereal, was voluble in her disapproval. "Oh, Meesis Graham 1 You not eat dot melon, and it look so nice, too. Vot matter? Was dere a bad spot in eet?" . "No, no, Katie. It is delicious, but I do not feel like eating this morning. I don't wish any cereal either. Just bring me my coffee. Is it strong?" "She joost vay I alvays make her," rejoined Katie, with the idiom at which in a less perplexed moment I should have hugely en joyed. "But I no bring coffee till you eat dot mush," she went on with the . solicitous tyranny Katie reserves for me sometimes. "You not can go to school and no eat your breakfast. Coom, Katie feex for you, nice." "All Right, Katie." Her voice was the same as she would have used to Junior 'if he had been a year or two older. She busied herself with the cereal, pre paring it as she knew I like it best, and put it before me with an ap pealing little glance which asked pardon for her importunity. All right, Katie. I smiled for givingly at her. "I'll trv to eat this, but bring my coffee at once, please, and nothing else." Uh-h Aleesls Graham, she pro tested, "ven I feex you sometimes so-o nice!" "I'm sorry, Katie, but I cannot possibly eat anything more," I. said hrmly. Suppose you eat it for your own breakfast." I feel like trowine eet at dot cat," she muttered in tearful child ish rebellion as she left the room. But when she returned her volatile nature had thrown off her disap pointment and she was intent only upon tne cottee, over which she fussed as if it were some life-saving medicine which she was charged to administer. "You drink dot, every drop," she asserted, and I gladly obeyed her, for the hot, fragrant liquid always puts new vigor into my veins. At the Station. I felt the need of all its bracing influence as I left the train at Bay view. It was a much earlier train that I usually take, for Alice Hol combe and I had agreed to meet at the schoolhouse very early in the morning, so as to get out of the way the administrative work which awaited us in Mr. Stockbridge's absence, and as I stepped off at the platform I saw a large group of the commuters whom I miss with the later train. TJiey were excitedly talking to gether, and I heard the name Stock bridge two or three times, and knew they were discussing the tragedy. Then as I hurried down the platform past thm, looking neither to the tight nor the left, I heard a comment which annoyed me. "There's one of 'em now," a man's voice said in a low tone. "Where?" a woman's shrill voice whispered. - "That pippin with the auburn hair." "Her? I don't think she's any thing' much for looks." "Where's your eyes?" the man rejoined tactlessly. "I don't won der Ken decided to bump the old girl off when he had anything like that in the school." "Shut up," apprehensively. "You don't know that he did it, and you've got no business" The sound of their voices left me, but I had heard quite enough. I had hard work to1 keep my knees from sinking with fhy weight as I realized that not only was Ken- WITHIN THE LAW Dillon Multi-Vision Lens A lens and dimmer more light no glare.

(Continued Tomorrow.) Cured His RUPTURE I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture haa never returned, although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full in formation about how you may find a com plete cure without operation, if you write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter, 151 K Marcellus Avenue, Manasquan, N. J. Better cut out this notice and show it to any others who are ruptured you may save a life or at least stop the misery of rupture and the worry and danger of an operation. Advertisement. Don't Spoil Your Hair By Washing It When you wash your hair, be careful what you use. Most' soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it . dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It'3 very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a tea spoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly,, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Adv. After each meal YOU e?t one ATOMIC Kfob vow stomach's sXRta ind get full food value and real stom aeb comfort.
