DETROIT. March 11—With the
date of trial only three days dis-
tant, opposing counsel in Aaron ;
Sapiro'* million dollar libel suit
against Henry Ford today wrau-,
(led over Issues in the case.
Sapiro, Chicago lawyer of Jew-1
Uh descent, and organiser of co-
operative marketing organisations
representing farmers, is suing the
automobile maker and hi* Dear-
born Independent, for a series of
articles which bitterly attacked or-
ganisation and operation of the
co-operatives.
William Henry Gallagher, utor-
ney for Sapiro. will base his at-
tack on charges alleged to have
been made in Ford’s publication
that Sapiro is a member of a
•'Jewish conspiracy” seeking to
gain control of agricultural pro-
duce marketing.
The defense, meanwhile, Is pre-
paring to fight the case with Sa-
piro's methods of organization
among farmers at issue. It is
charged that Sapiro dominated
and exploited the co-operatives
and “was not actuated by unself-
ish motives.”
The trial will open Tuesday in j
Federal Court here, before Judge j
Fred S. Raymond. Opening guns
of the suit, however, will be fired |
Monday, when counsel for Sapiro j
asks the court’s permission to j
strike out certain sections of their ,
complaint.

day. "She scouted the idea, and
even went so far as to hide her
best pictures.
‘‘But I had two others she had
forgotten about and sent those on
in."
Mary Elizabeth was more than
willing to forgive her mother
when she heard the good news,
you can bet!
She looked dumbfounded when
a representative of The Press no-
tified her of her good fortune ear-
, ly Thursday evening.
"Me? Winner of the contest?
1 just can’t believe it," said Mary
Elizabeth.
The judging had narrowed down
to five girls when judges took the
deciding vote Thursday afternoon.
Brief scenes were given the girls
1 to enact, to help the judges pass
upon their grace and expressive-
ness. They were put thru tests
by Hunter E. Gardner, dramatic
director of the Little Theater.
Gardner will direct the local pic-
ture.
Screen tests had been made of
Mary Elizabeth and nine other
contestants at the Palace Theater
\ the preceding week. Results of
the test can now be seen at the
Palace.
400 Photographs.
Close to 400 girls submitted
photographs In the contest.
Judges found the Job of making
eliminations a slow one. The
photographs more than lived up
to Fort Worth's reputation for
feminine good looks. Girls sum-
moned for the finals were chosen
solely from the pictures submitted.
Judges were S. P. Zelgler, head
of art department of TCIJ, and an
artist whose canvasses have been
exhibited in salons thruout the
country; Mrs. Sallie Iilythe Mum-
mert, painter of note and promi-
nent club woman; Miss Grace Wil-
son, designer for the Poindexter
Furniture Co., and Gardner.

N EA Service Correspondent.
LONDON, March 11.—"I’ll take
tuppence ha'penny worth of milk,
me Lud. And mummy says be
sure to give me full measure. She
says you didn’t last time, and if
this keeps on she'll have to give
her trade to somebody else. And
—oh yes—mummy said, me Lud,
that the last sweet cream you sold
her was sour."
It hasn't quite come to that yet
in old England, but if noblemen
of high degree keep going into the
milk business, sucti a conversation
may yet come to be an everyday
occurence, and milk carts bearing
baronial coronets may be a not un-
common alght.
Karon Starts It.
The milk business for Lords
was started by the third Baron
Rayleigh, one of the most distin-
guished men of his time. Al-
though very rich, the third Baron
was for years professor of phy-
sics at Cambridge Fniversity
where he became a world famous
authority on tho atomic weight of
gases. As a scientific man, Lord
Rayleigh was struck by the neces-
sity of giving people pure milk,
particularly for the little ones.
He had many flhe milk cows on
his farms. Instead of sellng the
milk to middlemen and distribu-
tors, it struck Lord Rayleigh It
would be a good thing to do his
own selling. The milk would be
procured in the best of hygienic
surroundings, carefully shipped to
London and sold from his own
shops. This he did.
It gave society quite a thril at
the time, but today the Rayleigh

dairies are quite commonplace,
and their shops are all over West
End. The present Baron Rayleigh
is continuing absolutely In his
father's footsteps. Not only Is he
professor of physics at the Imperi-
al College of Science, and an au-
thority on radium and helium, but
he also continues to run the Ray-
leigh dairies.
Example Followed.
His example has now been fol-
owed by Lord Hamilton of Dalzell,
who had a distinguished military
career and was for some year*
lord-ln-waitlng to the late King
Edward.
Lord Hamilton owns about 2500
ac’res In the Motherwell district of
Scotland. For some time he has
i been operating a model dairy farm
5 for the supply of grade A certl-
] fled milk.
He has lately gone a step farth-
I er by opening a shop in Mother-
well for the direct sale to the con-
sumer of Dalzell milk and vegeta-
bles.
Caters to Kiddles.
Tills place is near a school
building, nnd especial efforts have
been made to cater to the kiddies.
For him who wants to drink fresh
milk, there are comfortable Reats
both Inside and outside the shop;
there also are signs framed in
quaint old-fashioned phrases.
One of them reads:
"Good friend that to this seat
repair,
Rest and be thankful, but for-
bear
With sordid scraps the ground

Others rest here ns well as you."

TOKIO, Maroh 11. — Tho cas-
ualty list in the southern Japan
earthquake look a great Jump to-
day when communication was re-
stored to Isolated interior points.
In the entire district rocked by
the quake, there were more than
•000 known casualties and the
figure probably will exceed 10,-
000. In northern Tango province
alone 3600 were known to be
dead.
Many persons were found dead
on Isolated farms In the rural
districts. Scores apparently had
died of exposure.
Physicians and nurses making
their way into tho more aparsely
settled districts found plentiful
evidence of starvation and priva-
tion which followed Monday's
temblors.
In many places bodies were
found pinned In debrla that had
once been homes, and on the dead
faces was written in lineB of pain
the story of solitary death after
futile attempts to escape from
tho wreckage.
Hundreds of bodies have been
found along roads by relief work-
ers. Starvation and exposure to-
day were still adding hourly to
the death list.
The fierce gale of last night,
caused intense suffering. Relief
ships were compelled to seek shel-
ter. Where refugee huts and
makeshift hospitals were destroy-
ed, there was no shelter lor the
injured.

RRRRRO'R T^RS itsr STORKS
KY FRANK HORTON JR.
(As Told to tiie United Press).
TONOPAH, Nev., March 11.—
Seems funny to admit that the
luck my pal and 1 had was due to
a dream that came true, but that's
what happened.
Leonard Traynor, my chum, and
myself had been working some
claims without reaching pay ore.
One night, as we slept under
the stars, the dream came to tne
and 1 told it to Leonard. Right
I off the but lie says:
"Let's go out and try our hunch.
| We aren t doing any good here
| anyhow."
In my dream, I imagined myself
going out to Weepah where my
'lad had been workiug some claims
I lor several years.
Our provisions were mighty low,
hut we managed to rustle soma
j grub. We were both dead broke
| and all we eould afford was some
bologna and eliecRe and crackers.
We got to Weepah finally and
managed to live on the lean fare
I for a couple days. But we didn’t
j find anything, so we drove back
j to town to get shine more grub.
Mother helped us tills time and
with a few square meals in sight,
; we went out to give my hunch an-
; other chance. We did all our
j prospecting and digging close to
‘ Dad s old working, for 1 knew that
lie had run onto streaks of high-
grade ore.
One day Leonard and I noticed
some good looking rock Just at
the edge of an old badger hole.
1 remembered my fattier saying
ttiat several of Nevada's biggest
gold strikes had been made by a
badger.
1 guess that's what happened
when we made this strike. We
panned the rock around the bad-
ger holo and got some nice strings
of gold.
We kept on digging and the oro
started to get better and better.
It was pretty good looking stuff.
But It was not until we had dug
several feet that we made the real
strike.
When we opened up the ledge
with all that gold wo were dazed.
Neither of us could believe our
eyes apd we didn’t know exactly
what to do with It. 1 thought may-
be I was having another dream,
but Leonard kept dancing around
like a wild Indian, yelling, "We're
set for life."
\V>. finally settled down, filled
some old cans with the stuff, and
started back to town. Of course
we staked our claims first.
On the way to town wo decided
to keep tiie whole thing quiet un-
tli my dad got here, but of course
it got out when the ore assayed
$78,000 a ton.
That's all, except that Leonard
amt I made sure our claims were
not on my dad’s land, and that
from now on I believe in all
dreams.
