ASK PUBLIC TO PHONE WEED COMPLAINTS TO HEALTH OFFICER

i( A change in plan of operation as regards weti complaints and garbage collections -was adopted by the board of works Monday. Hereafter, all complaints concerning uncut weeds, and failure to have garbage collected will be turned over to the health department Instead of going to the city engineer's office. Calls on these complaints will be made at 1301, the crematory, or at the office of Dr. C. E. Duffin, secretary of the board of health, phone number 2683. Dr. Duffin was called out of town unexpectedly Saturday, and left word that pending his return all call3 of this character should go to phone number 2552. He will return late Tuesday. The change was made in accordance with the request of Dell B. Davis, city engineer. Mr. Davis also requested that all calls regarding holes In the streets, bridge and fountain repairs be sent to the street department. Such calls should go to phone number 2124. Confirm Resolution A resolution to improve the alley between South Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets from South A street north and east to Eighteenth was confirmed and referred to the council as a majority remonstrance had been filed. Cost of sewers between the Peacock Road and Richmond avenue, reported complete by the city engineer, will amount to $16,639.95 of which the property will pay $13,039.95 and the city, $3,600. This territory includes what is known as the Wriehtland ad dition, from North West Fifth street to .' North West Eighth. The cle.k was ordered to make up the primary assessment roll. To Improve Street The board adopted a resolution to improve the north side of North D street from Fourteenth to Fifteenth streets by building a cement sidewalk. A resolution to improve North Nineteenth street from Main to the Pennsylvania railroad by building cement curb and gutter, was also adopted. Acceptance of the primary assess ment roll on the sewer west of South' Sixth street, from II to I streets, was the latest action taken by the board on this matter. Hurry One Improvement Superintendent D. C. Hess, reporting on the installation of an ornamental lighting system on South Sev enth street, told the board that work! on the street would be done about i one month earlier than had been ex-J pected. The Richmond Electric company, through the efforts of Mr. Hess, j has been able to procure cable for the system within a few days and Willi start work at once. j Previous advices for the companv1 making the cable were that it could not be shipped before July 17. The delay in obtaining cable had held up not onlv the liehtinc svstem nn the street, but the paving as well, andi the result will be to give the city the use of the paving about one month earlier.

The Calcutta correspondent of the Daily Telegraph today confirms reports that Brigadier-General C. G. Bruce, head of the present expedition, has been forced to the conclusion that persistence in the effort to scale the peak would only" result in useless tragedy. Gen. Bruce was most reluctant to abandon further attempts but the condition in which the two last climbing parties returned, the advice of his medical officers and the certainty of worse weather conditions daily forced him to a decision, says the writer.

Harding's Brother Flays Theological Seventeen CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 26. The "theological seventeen," a group of Columbus ministers, who offer scientific explanations for the miracles recorded in the Bible, was denounced by Dr. George Harding, of Worthington, Ohio, brother of President Harding, in an address here. Speaking at the Seventh Day Adventist church, Dr. Harding said: "If they carried their beliefs to a logical conclusion they would be agnostics, but they hesitate to do that because they would lose their jobs. Only one president (Grant) was a graduate of West Point military academy, and none of Anapolis.

IN maintaining its extended and thoroughly organized system of distribution, which reaches every farm in the 10 Middle Western States served, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is rendering a distinct service, not to the agricultural district interests alone, but to all the people. The importance of this service may be visualized when it is known that 48 of the wheat 65 of the oats 53 of the corn 41 of the hay grown in the United States during 1921 came from this territory. The farmers of this great area (approximating that of Great Britain and Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Holland, Denmark arid Germany combined) use large quantities of petroleum products in producing this vast amount of food stuffs. They have come to depend upon the regular visit of the dark green tank wagon of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to supply their needs. Power-driven machinery is essential to modern farming operations, and it is the responsibility of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to see to it that the gasoline, kerosene, and lubricating oils and other petroleum products are in the hands of the farmer when he needs them. To render this service requires an enormous organization of highly trained men under efficient management. It requires a tremendous capital investment; refineries; bulk service stations; tank wagons; and service stations to cope with the need of supplying an agricultural area of the size and importance of these 10 Middle Western States. In undertaking the responsibility of supplying the needs of the farmer for petroleum products, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has assumed a job of magnitude anl importance. Because it knows that its organization will not. break down under stress; that its facilities will enable them to meet the demands made upon it; that its personnel has a deep interest in seeing that every manufacturing and distributing schedule is maintained, the Company is able to guarantee an adequate and sustained service.

FASHIONABLE WOMEN CROOKS RESPONSIBLE FOR LONDON THEFTS Editor's Note: For several vears the police of London and the continent have een oairtt-n by the amazinsr robberies, frauds, and mystery crimes, involving hundreds flf thnnaana sv Jnlla.n anA frequently costing human lives. Many of these crimes have been attributed to the high class women crooksof London's fashionable quarters ihe "Women Crooks of Mayfair." The United Press has been given special facilities for investigating the lives and workings of these modern "Ladies" of fashion. By David L. Blumenfeld (United Press Staff Correspondent) CHAPTER I LONDON, June 26. The public know her as the "Lone She Wolf." The other crooks know her, the select few of them, by that and other names, names. ; Scotland Yard and the London police when called into a case involving the loss of tens of thousands in jewels or money, sometimes in murder, talk about the "She Wolf." But they don't know just who she Is and they have never arrested her. If they had this story would not be written in this form. She may be one of half a dozen women, whose secrets no Scotland Yard man has ever mastered. They pre the leaders of "The Women Crooks of Mayfair." An Englishman, or an English woman, gets all the benefit of the old theory that an "Englishman's home is his castle." Perhaps that is why the mystery of the "She Wolf" is still a mystery. The women crooks of Mayfair prey on the rich men and women who play In London's great playground. The man tide of wealth flows into London year In and year out and ebbs ns regularly. The flow carries the idle rich of both sex, the inebriate, the dope user, young and old, the ebb carries them out if their bodies have not earlier been borne out with the ebb of the Thames. The detectives can't say just who the "She Wolf" is, 01 whether she is one or half-a-dozen. But they know her type. A beautiful girl glides down Piccadilly in a shining limousine. Let us has long

The savings of small investors and savings depositors in the United States represented by government securities and savings bank accounts amount to the equivalent of $250 for every man, woman and child. Some people have, of course, saved more than the average, while others have saved less. Some people have never started to save at all. Others have long ago realized that a savings account is one of the. insurances of protection and freedom from want in old age. This bank welcomes the accounts of thrifty savers, and pays ? per cent interest on savings accounts amounting to $l or more. Begin today to set aside a certain fixed percentage of your income. You'll never regret it and you will see greater advantages to such a plan as your savings accumulate. Come to Richmond July 1th Greatest Day in 50 Years

She looks eighteen, and she is, to talk to for the first time, every bit as simple and sweet as a girl of that age Watch her limousine.

Louise ran through the fortune in quick time. She had to have excitement. It was breath of life to her. During her brief life with her husband, who was a past master in the art Of "swell ornokerlnPKs Louise learned to know blindfolded the underworlds of London, Paris and Berlin, to know the long nights of excitement, and joy, and terror. , Don't make the mistake' of thinking Louise to be one of those women who work crooked deals in partnership with a male master mind. Super crooks like Louise don't grow on gooseberry bushes. They are born, not made, and are successful bevond measure.
