The mixing utensil and ; pot he holds look innocent enough, j but what about that wicked looking ; gat he has parked behind his belt? !

Catherine Rice, of Sea IsJe City, wils reached when the lady was discovered by Detective Lawrence Dorr., associated with the County Prosecutor's office, working hi a five and ten-cent store in the city of Camj ^n. Mr. and Mrs. Horace W. Rice, the former a teller employed by the First National Bank of Sea jisle City, spent the Thanksgiving with the latler's parents in Philadelphia. Mr. Rice returned to his duties the following day, leaving ; his wife with her parents. On Saturday, Mrs. Rice left her I parents' home, apparently to do ;>ome shopping , but failed to ! return. A wide and diligent search was { pursued by the police, unti I the young lady was finally located in Camden. Mrs. Rice was found to be in good health, but obviously worried because her whereabouts was unknown to her husband and i parents. Mrs. Rice is reported to have j stated that she had no reason for ! disappearing, except that she was finding Sea Isle City intolerable in the winter. During the summer activities she considered the local-, ity and the surroundings very pleasant; but the winter was fearfully depressing and slow. However, the lady has returned home, and everything has been happily adjusted.

For residence foundations in high ground, a painting with "Carey Percoproo F' is sufficient protection. For larger buildings with deeper foundations in average soil, a layer of asphalt Feltex (asphalt saturated felt) should be cemented on with Carey Asphalt.
