BOY, TEN, RESCUES FAMILY IN BLAkE Santa Rosa.—Dashing through smoke and flames, 10-year-old Earl Severn, played a hero’s role when he awakened his parents, who were as leep in their burning home.

Earl and his three brothers, sleep ing in a tent near the house, because of the warm weather, were awaken ed by the crackling of the flames. When they were unable to arouse their parents by shouting, Earl dash ed into the house. The house collapsed shortly after Mr. anid Mrs. Severns and Earl ran into the open. IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE!

The trout propagated at the res ervoir will be released in the Prodro River. WE CAN ONLY GUESS We sometimes wonjder if the only way to get a meek Congress that will cut out the political horseplay and attend to business isn’t to put one of these strong-willed, hatchet-faced dames in the Presidential chair. 'YE OLDE WORM SHOPPE’ OPENS Pontiac, Mich.—Lake fishermen here may obtain bait from "Ye Olde Worm Shoppe,” a stand locat ed near one of Oakland CounY.y’s most popular fishing resorts.

Nominee Garner Just An “Infant” To His Wife-Secretary-Manager She Keeps 3 Percolators In Office to Supply Coffee Demand WASHINGTON, D. C—If John Nance Garner of Texas is elec ted Vice President next November it will mean an eight-hour day in stead of a ten-hour one for his wife and secretary, Mrs. Ettie R. Garner, but one duty she will not relinquish will be that of brewing a cup of afternoon coffee and fixing a snack for the present Speaker of the House. This combination *pf “Cactus Jack” and Mrs. Garner is probably the greatest in official ''Vashlngton. For 30 years Mrs. Garner has been an old-fashioned wife and a modern, efficient secretary. For the next four years she may be "Second Lady of the Land” but she will occupy the same dual role she has so long held. Society may frown upon her and precedents may be lacking, but the habits she has found so interesting, she is not willing to break. John Garner may be Speaker or he may become Vice President but to Mrs. Garner he is just an "in fant” needing a lot of care. Mrs. Garner must remind him that it is time to eat lunch, that it is time to go home. She must call his tailor to the office to measure him for new clothes and then see that he wears them. The Garners gave up housekeep ing twelve years ago when their son, Tully, was married and re turned to Texas. Since then Mrs. Garner has done no cooking for the family. They like simple, whole some food. "Like all men”, Mrs. Garner ex plains, "he wants a big juicy steak and lots of fresh vegetables for dinner. His breakfast is the typi cal American one, bacon and eggs and coffee, lots of it.” Mrs. Garner has a percolator in the Speaker’s office in the Capitol. In fact she has three of them. About three o’clock every after noon, without fail, the odor of fresh Mrs. Ettle R. Garner with her ~ collection of office coffee pots. coffee spreads through the halls nearby. Mr. Garner does not drink it then but Mrs. Garner years ago began "fixing herself” a cup or two in the middle of the day. “That cup or two of coffee every afternoon has helped me tremen dously,” she says. The Democratic Vice-Presidential nominee likes to boast of the im portant part his helpmeet has played in his rise to political power. She tries to minimize it. Yet she can’t very well. Rising at six o’clock every morning, after her own ablutions she draws Mr. Gar ner’s bath and a bit later they breakfast. It is a little over a mile from their hotel to the Capitol. Weather permitting, they walk each day. Mrs. Garner goes through every piece of the moun tainous mail which burdens down the Speaker’s desk daily. She is ready for that coffee bracer in mid afternoon and for more before retiring never later than 9:30 o'clock unless that rare occurrence happens—the Garners enter into Washington’s social w'hirl.

Foil, of the Foil Motor com pany, had a exciting experience late Monday when a young stranger took him for a ride, robbed him of $22, took his automobile and left him standing in a lonely road eight miles east of the city. The stranger, dark haired and slen der, and probably 21 to 25 years old and wearing a dark blue suit, wanted to buy an automobile. A 1931 mod el struck his fancy and with Mr. Foil at his side he rode several miles in the country to try it out. When it was time to turn back he insisted on Mr. Foil taking the wheel for the return trip, but, drawing a pistol, he commanded Mr. Foil to continue traveling away from the city. A mile beyond the Crescent orph anage in a lonely spot the stranger at the point of the gun made Mr. Foil get out and turn over all his money, $22. Then the stranger drove off at a rapid rate and Mr. Foil hunted a telephone. The car formerly belonged to Mrs. Edna Iddings, of Kannapolis, and car ried her card in the pocket. It bore state license No. 183,823 and motor No. 241,866.
