There is no question but that public sentiment is growing against the present plans of dispensing intoxicating liquore.

In a neighboring county, several rather important towns are going to vote on the liquor issues at the comIng primary election.

HORSTS ARE AWARDED TEMPORARY CUSTODY OF LITTLE DONALD Chicago, Aug. 9.

Donald Horst went back home today with his foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Horst. County Judge Edmund K. Jarecki awarded them temporary custody of the 31 months old child pending a hearing on their petition to adopt him on Aug.

23. The boy's real mother, Mise Lydia Nelson, who signed a document giving her consent to the adoption, was not in the crowded court chamber when her dark-eyed son was reclaimed by the couple who had reared him since the day of his birth. The happy Horsts lifted the lad from the judge's knee. Mrs. Horst sobbed: "Oh, my darling boy." Donald embraced both of them: Then quietly resumed the business of consuming a lollypop.

Judge Jarecki said he would investigate "this whole mess thoroughly," particularly a police report that Horst until recently operated a hotel that had been raided as a vice resort.

Your Health of the (From the Educational committee cal board of trustees of the Medivania of Society which of the State of Pennsylcal the York County society is a component.) Fortunate, indeed, is he who 18 happy in his work. for many people is a form of Work drudgery. It is the doing over, day after day, week after week, month after month, the same routine job. Vacation to such people is not so much a form of great pleasure as the cessation of that which has been unpleasant.

Regardless of how much joy and satisfaction one gets in his work, there must be moments of resting from it. All work and no play, makes dull Jack, or words to that effect. Resting need not necessarily be complete cessation of duties, though it is the best way to rest. Doing something else is rest and may take the form of a hobby or recreation that can be indulged in at frequent intervals. Few men really know how to play.

But they can all do something that will at times take their minds off the daily grind. There are exceptions who seem to thrive on never taking a vacation or resting. But life insurance companies have been known, it is said, to refuse to issue policies to men who boasted they never took a vacation. It is not insisted that vacations prolong life. But in many instances they do.

Even so, there are few men who can take the ideal kind of rest which consists in staying away from work till they are anxious to get back to it because of love for it-and not alone for the financial word. A little more play will help. It will improve our work, our sleep and our daily behavior. DO YOU KNOW In the dry climates of the western plains, meat it cut into thin strips, suspended in the air and exposed to the direct sunlight. Shortly after the moisture disappears and the hard, dry pieces keep indefinitely.

This is known as jerked beef. Good pure milk has done more to maintain health than any other food ed milk formerly was responsible -but on the other hand, more sickness and deaths than probably all other foods combined. Deratization is the expression used for ridding a ship of rats. Hydrocyanic acid gas is used in most instances. Around the TOWN Good Morning! Thie date in history: 1675-Construction work was begun on the Greenwich observatory just outside of London.

This observatory has become the standard of the world for time and longitude. The naval observatory at Washington also carries on astronomical work of the highest accuracy but ite results are always checked with Greenwich, just as the latter checks with Washington. -0- 1723-The first of over 250 issues of Pennsylvania paper money was printed by Benjamin Franklin. Without further research, for which we are not now equipped, we cannot give much additional information about that early issue of currency except to eay that any now left paper, has more value as museum specimens and keepsakes than it has as money, It seems to be a pertinent moment to remark again that paper currency, from whatever source, is never real money. -0- 1760-Philip Embury arrived in New York; he was the Arst Methodiet preacher in the metropolis.

With no data at hand we shall have to turn to our Methodist friends for further details. 0- 1792-The French revolution began when a mob attacked the Tuileries and massacred the Swiss guard. The king was also temporarily dethroned. From then on all notables and persons of any consequence were in danger and most of them lost their lives at the guillotine. -0 1862-An extraordinary display of meteors or shooting stars took place in the United States.

-0- Referring to the last paragraph, the annual shower of August meteors is due tonight. In diminishing numbers they also appear each night for a week or more. They are sometimes called "sparks from St. Lawrence's gridiron," but it is more to call them Perseids because they all seem to come from the constellation Perseus, though they have no actual connection with it. The meterors are remnants of Tuttle's comet which dieintegrated and left its fragments scattered through an orbit about thirty million miles wide.

When the earth cuts across this track each August the fragments of the comet get hot about it and become visible. Few of them actually fall to the earth. The best time to look for them is quite late in the evening, though some may be seen at any time if the sky is clear. -D- The Gazette and Daily takee particular pleasure in extending birthday congratulations to Davis H. Carul, 413 West Philadelphia street, who today is celebrating his eightyfourth anniversary.

Mr. Craul is no longer active in business but he finds great pleasure in making little framed pictures illustrating Bible texts. From a small beginning the demand for these pictures has grown to such an extent that he has made over 8000 of them and they are now found in churches, Sunday schools and missions in many distant countries of the world as well as in thousands of private homes. Mr. Craul is spending the summer at West Milton, Pa.

-I An error crept into yesterday's iesue of the paper about the last day of registration of voters in the boroughs and townships. The statement was made that today would be the last day for registration, when, matter of fact, voters may regieter up to and including tomorrow. Perhaps the mistake i is one of those fortunate errors that give greater publicity to an important fact than it otherwise might have received. At any rate, if you have not yet registered hurry up and do so today or tomorrow. This has no reference to voters in the city of York.

-0- Maybe it was too hot to get up a game of pitching horse shoes out in Iowa so the farmers started an argument as to best way to tell a horse's age. The old time method of looking at the teeth was disputed by the newer school who claimed that the best way was to look at the horse's neck. No casualties were reported but we have heard of trouble arising from intimate association with too many "horse's necks." -O- It is many a year since the first iron steamboat and, later, canal boats ran on the Codorus river. Few of us now think of the sparkling creek an a navigable body of water, but two young men have apparently proved that it can yet carry passengers. In a boat sled, or sled as they are generally called, sea, they have made the perilous voyage down the rapids to the big river.

We offer our congratulations, out of exploits the in memory small water -craft. Sorry we were not a passenger. -D- If the reports are correct about that ball of lightning that ran through one the market houses on Saturday morning, those who saw it witnessed a strange and rare phenomenon to say nothing of of of of of of of of of making a fortunate escape. There are not many accurate records of lightning in the form of balls of fire, but from all accounts they are generally destructive. There are no very satisfactory explanations of this freak of nature.

Inetances have been known in which the ball-lightning ran along the rails of a railway, doing no damage till it came to switch where it blew up the track. -0- The electrification project of the Pennsylvania railroad has brought increased activity in the neighboring town of Columbia on the other side of the river. It is reported that there is difficulty in finding living quarters for many of the new men working in the construction gangs. We noticed that even the old Tremont house, dilapidated as it is, is once, more inhabited. A LITTLE BIRD TOLD ME Morning Story Sally couldn't remember just how the quarrel started, although several things she and Don had said to each other were still fresh in her mind.

And while it had by no means been the first quarrel- -Don had red hairit had apparently been destined to be the last. It was four days ago and Don had made no overtures. Generally, he came apologizing the next day. So, Sally was more than a little alarmed, even frightened. She would not want to lose him.

It was Saturday and a holiday for both Sally and Don. As a rule they went out to the river on Saturdays when it was fair, and paddled about for hours in a rented canoe. Afterward they had supper at the casino where they could dance if they wished to. But Sally spent in the back in the thisa rafternoon, glider, and waiting--pretending to read, out really only waiting. It was difficult to believe that Don had really meant what he said, because she knew she hadn't meant anything she'd said.

She recalled the furious way they had lashed at each other. "And if I ever see you again, Don Cummings, it will be too soon!" she had cried, angrily, knowing even then a pang of regret for having said the words, but thoroughly enjoying the effect of them on Don. "That goes double!" Don had flared back, his gray eyes narrowed. "No girl's going to make a fool of me forever. I'm through!" At least, that's what it had sounded like to Sally who had already climbed out of Don's coupe and was walking haughtily off.

And that was the last she had seen of him; and four days had dragged by. She drooped her book and pulled her slim legs up onto the swing and stretched. She sighed. The tears smarted her eyes and she winked them back. Determined not to give way, she stared up at the maple tree which shaded her hammock.

Suddenly she became conscious of a loud shirping above her and her gaze found the source in a pair of starlings. She watched the birds without much interest at fret; their raucous voices were not particularly soothing to frayed nerves. After a moment or two, however, her eyes riveted upon the birds. They chirruped madly at one another and even a casual observer could see that they seemed to be having a disagreement. There were only two starlings, one a little less black and silky-looking than the other.

Sally knew enough about them to know the more colorful to be the male. His mate was a trifle grayer and without his bright bluegreen collar. The male bird's long beak opened and closed and closed in a wild clattering as he perched on a branch which separated him from the female about three or four feet. His mate chattered back at him just as noisily, and between both their voices the resultant sounds were anything but lovely. Finally the female flew to a loftier perch and maintained a dignifed silence while the male starlings continued to split the air with his screeching.

Sally smiled as she watched the pair. Apparently the male grew tired of berating his mate and tired of her indifference, deigned only on occasional cheep for all at once he flew to a neighboring birch tree. The remaining starling continued to sit, although she followed his flight with a bead-like eye. To Sally, she seemed to be preening herself, sure of her power to draw him back to her. She hopped on her branch and directed a long whistle at the truant male now and the; But the prideful male was proving that he could be equally as obstinate as his mate.

He remained in the birch tree until the female started to tril, as prettily as was able, a and then he came winging back to the maple, but not to the high-up branch his companion occupied. He chose a 'ower branch and perched there rubbing his long yellow bill back and forth across the limb. Suddenly, Quite unexpectedly to Sally, the female down and settled on the branch as the glossy feathered male. He seemed not to notice her so she hopped, sideways along the branch until she was very the him, uttering long, sharp chirrup. paid no attention even then, and Sally, now engrossed, saw his mate sidle up to him suddenly peck him with her bill.

With that, the satisfied male surrendered. He turned to her. Not a sound came from the pair of birds and after a period of loving billing they flew off together. Sally laid back on her cushions thoughtfully. An hour later, Sally, looking fresh and charming in an apple green shantung, presented herself at Don Cummings' door.

His sister answered her ring. "Well welcome stranger," she said gayly. "Come in. Don's around in the garage tinkering with his car. I'll call him." "Never mind, Joan, I'll go around back and find him myself, thanks," Sally said, and without waiting for further conversation, she flashed around the side of the house to the garage.

Don, his sleeves rolled up and wearing a pair of dungarees, was busily cleaning spark plugs in the rear of the garage when Sally slipped silently in. His hr 's and arms were generously covered with rrease and with his red hair flopping lown over his temples, he looked very different from the fastidious Don, Sally was used to seeing. But grease and looked wonderful to her just now. As she reached his side he turned and saw her. His eyes lighted up and he dropped the spark plug he was cleaning on the garage floor.

"Sally!" "Were you expecting someone else?" Sally asked flippantly, laughing at his appearance. Don his torn shit and dungarees He began a mumbled apology, lut Sally, unmindful of her lovely green dress, slid her arms around his neck and stopped his mouth with a hearty kiss. "Oh, Sally, you're sweet," he said, his voice husky with emotion. "I've been thinking about you minute since the other day. I wanted to go to you-" Sally interrupted him smilingly, her fingers smoothing his rumpled red locks.

"I know," she said. "A little bird told -Boston Post.

"Lepke" Buchalter and Jacob "Gurrah" Shapiro, described by assistants of Special Prosecutor Thomas E.

Dewey as "the big shots of the garment industry racket," were indicted today with 14 others by the extraordinary grand jury probing metropolitan rackets. Most of those named in true bills are fugitives, including the two alleged leaders of the ring which Murray I. Gurfein, Dewey's assistant estimated squeezed several million dollars yearly from clothing manufacturers. High bail was set for five defendants arraigned before Supreme Court Justice Ferdinand Pecora. They pleaded innocent.

Justice Pecora issued bench warrants for the apprehension of the missing 11.

Letters From The People SEX APPEAL Editor The Gazette and Daily: Perhaps I wrote too lightly and lengthy in my recent letter on "The Wickedness of Going in the Raw." My conscience seems to worry me, because being a serious nature, went on a spree of attempted levity. In truth, certainly do not believe there is anything essentially sinful in the undraped human form, or female.

However the coveted sight of that object may a inspire unmoral speculations in the opposite sex. Nor do I think that all human hapes, specifically those of the other side of the human family are what one could term strictly things of beauty. Let it be understood that the human physique can be attractive and engaging though lacking in handsomeness. This is especially so if the possessor has charm of personality or sex appeal. There is a difference between mere beauty and appealing attractiveness.

When the object of our attention holds us by its sheer loveliness or glory, we may be said to be enjoying beauty as beauty. We may then be said to be engrossed in esthetic appreciation. But when the object fills us with thoughts of possible pleasure, or with a desire to exploit that object for our enjoment or profit, utility and not beauty is at the source of our pleasure. Where beauty ends and utility begins is hard indeed to determine. Many men who are apparently lacking in genuine esthetic susceptibilities, gaze in imaginative enjoyment at a shapely woman.

The that prompts them is an instinct older and more useful to the race than mere esthetic appreciation. The artist and nature admirer are entranced by the sight of a wellformed and stately tree. So is the timber man. Both may exclaim about its beauty, Yet the beauty the artist see in the tree is another thing, than that the wood chopper sees. But who knows but that the artist also sees possible houses or furniture in that tree, and that the wood cutter may loath to humble the lordly forest giant? A true beauty-lover can admire in the running of the favorite at the heele of the other horses in the Derby.

The betters will see no beauty in that running. Had it been otherwise they might never tire of telling and retelling of how "beautiful" Men their gazing horse on ran a that female deform in the streets or in the meretricious play house are not, I more than suspect, interested in the mere or the sheer beauty of what they behold as many old coots or young colte may affirm and reaffirm; but they are enthralled by some thing more natural--and often more sinister, or sinful. They are not motivated by beauty but by the sex appeal. ROBERTH B. BICKEL.

FINDS PARADISE FOR WINEBIBBERS Chicago, Aug. (By Science Service) that yield "a red wine comparable with the best vintage wines of France" are reported by Llewelyn Williams, curator of economic botany at the Field Museum of Natural History here, who just returned from a six month'e exploring trip into the remote regions of lower Mexico. The wine tree is species of palm. The natives cut it down, scoop out a small trough in the trunk, cover it with leaves and let it stand for two days. When they return the hollow is filled with a red wine, termed delicious by Mr.

Williams, which ie formed by the fermentation of the sap of the tree. Where wine palms do not exist, or when the thirsty traveler is in too much of a hurry to wait two days, he must slake his thirst by sipping water stored in the etem of the tecalate vine, often six inches in diameter, said Mr. Williams. A three foot section of this stem provides a refreshing but warm and insipid draught. The botanical expedition of the museum, led by Mr.

Williams, returned with the most complete collection of wood specimens ever obtained from southern Mexico.
