The Child Is Lost And Found Again
Mother Gives £600,000 To The
Girl She Left At Home
DORIS BURKE was only nine years old when one day she heard bitter words between hor pretty mother and her wealthy father, John J. Burke, of Philadelphia, and saw hor mothor walk out of the house.
Mrs. Burke never returned. So Doris Tooked after her father till, on reaching young womanhood, she fell in love with handsome Robert C. Moore.
Her father frowned on the romance. "You'll marry the man I've chosen for you," he said.
So Doris, too, left home and became a hospital nurse in New York, holding several important positions before she eventually married the man of her choice.
Then they settled down to a happy life at Tucson, Arizona.
Fifteen months ago Doris Moore was touring through Texas when, in the lobby of an hotel where she sat waiting for a friend, a Frenchwoman came up and asked her the best way to California.
Doris was telling her when a handsome grey- haired woman walked in.
"Ah! Here is my companion," said the French- woman. "Perhaps you'll explain to her."
Doris turned to the new arrival and recog- nised her mother.
HAPPY OVER DISCOVERY
"I searched America for you for nearly fifteen years," said her mother. "I remarried, and have been living in England with my husband and three daughters.
"I am very wealthy, and now I have found you I am happy.'
"
On January 2 the mother, Mrs. Roselyn K Perkins, died in England.
Recently her daughter heard that she had left her nearly £600,000 of her £2,000,000 estate.

Half A Sandwich Costs A Man £70
West end restaurant and club proprietors still want to know "How big is a sandwich? How much is a meal?"-to entitle them to serve drinks under a supper licence.

Mr. E. A. Curse, prosecuting, sald that the club had nearly 2,000 mem- bers. A supper extension allowed drinks to be served with food until midnight. But it was noticed that one small half-sandwich was served with the first drink and no further food afterwards.
The club was well furnished, and there was no disorderly conduct.
For the defence it was urged that the club was understaffed, and the walters, being rushed, delivered the half-sandwiches while getting the others ready.
The manager of a well-known West End restaurant sald recently: "This

“WHAT IS A WATT?”
The man who reads your elec- tric meter will probably explain that a watt is a unit of electrical that 1000 of them power... make a kilowatt. He may also
that a wast is say far more than this. The watts that you use are the "muscles" that drive the motors of your clectric refrigerator, washer, vacuum cleaner and fan. They furnish clean, even heat for cooking and ironing. They fur- nish power for the wheels of in- dustry, as well as light for streets at night.
Building the equipment that
makes and delivers these watts, and the electrical servants that put them to work, is the busi. ness of Westinghouse. For more than fifty years Westinghouse has been the pioneer of new and better ways to make and use electricity. Whenever new needs arise, Westinghouse research. and products play an important part in satisfying them.
The name of Westinghouse on any electrical product as- sures you of the utmost in qual- ity and dependability.
