OVER HEATED FlKNACK The fire department was called to the home of S. C. Sayers, 410 1-2 east Walnut street, when an over-heated furnace indicated the house might be on fire late Tuesday. The furnace door had been left slightly open and this caused it to get hot enough to cause a lot of smoke, but no fire and no damage. REMODELING WORK STARTED Work has been started on the remodeling of the Hays room on the south side of the square by the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, which will occupy the new room within the next few weeks. The entire interior of the room will be changed.

WINNERS ANNOUNCED
The winner- of the Gieencastle Lat-
[ Col. Charles A. Lindbergh." The girl who has won the heart of
the man who has caused more feminine flutter than anyone in this age, not even excepting the Prince of Wales, seems Ideally suited to one of Lindbergh’s temperatment. She shares his dislike of ostentation and is of
the studious, intellectual type. Miss Morrow is 22 and Lindbergh
27. Her dark hair is unbobbed and frames an attractive face with dark blue eyes. Jibe is slender and about five feet four, reaching only to the.
shoulder of her tall husband-to-be. Miss Morrow is quiet and self-con-
tained, like her mother.
Social and diplomatic functions have little attraction for the bride-to-be, and she appears in public only at the weekly receptions at the embassy, when she helps her mother pour
tea. She likes pets.
Miss Morrow and Lindbergh have, know’n one another a year and two months, and while their courtship could not be called “whirlwind”, they have had comparatively little time to-
gether.
They first met on Dec. 14, 1927, when Lindbergh made a non-stop (light from Washington to Mexico City on his good will tour of Central and South America. They met several times in the United States during the ensuing year and again last November, when Lindbergh flew’ here from the state of Chihuahua, where he spent several weeks hunting with Col. Alexander J. McNub, military attache of the em-
bassy.
Lindbergh stayed here ten days, and as usual, the public paid little glimpse of his activities and did not note how much time he spent in Misi Morrow’s eompany.
