Little Stories Of Our Y. M. C. A.
WASHINGTON—"Forgeries and
alterations of liquor withdrawal
permits must be stopped!" says
Prohibition Direct or Haynes.
And stopped they will bo, for the
government has Justt adopted a
means of protection that 1b expect
ed thoroughly to choke off whole
sale liquor frauds by permlt-lug-
gllng.
The liquor permit swindler for
many months has been as much of
an annoyance to federal prohibi
tion enforcement agents as check
swindlers for years have been to
bunk und depositors.
Permits have been altered after
leaving official hands to the ex
tent of hundreds of thousands of
dollars. • The practice has been one
of the most eusily penetrated loop
holes for the crafty bootlegger.
In a desperate effort to circum
vent the clever bootlegging swin
dlers. government officials recent
ly conducted n lengthy Investiga
tion into the merits of scores of
plans and contrivances to thwart j
license alteration.
At last the prohibition enforce |
ment service hus found a solution •
of the problem that promises to 1
block license forgeries. This is
ehe employment of special per- j
mlt-wrlting machines. Half a hun- 1
dred of these have Just been niado
for the use of Issuers of liquor
withdrawal permits. . j
These machines, while Ingenious
and thoroughly effefent. are small,
and simple In operation. They re
semble a check protector made by ,
the same manufacturer and em-i
ploy the most modern protective
principles jif the . safest possible;

Ing these devices for the govern
ment hus guaranteed not to manu- ■
facture any other machine of ex
actly the same type. ,
The words of the text stumped'
by the machines on the permits!
are diagonal. This permits writing I ff]
more words on each line than any
other machine can do and prevents
the insertion of Interlinear words
nmnrtg permit forgers. The most
which has been a common practice
Important feature of the machine,
however, Js that the amount of li

entirely through the paper and also
macerated, all in one operation.
Alteration of permits Is as impos

MRS. MADALYNNE OBENCHAIN
LOS ANGELES—Mrs. Madalyne Obenchain, on Trial charged
with the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, the man she swore she
loved, matched wits Friday with Deputy District Attorney Keyes
in an all-day cross-examination.
She was asked to tell her relation with Kennedy, and with Ar
thur U- Burch, jointly indicted with her; with Ralph R. Obenchain,
her divorced husband, who is" now one of her attorney!.
The woman declared Kennedy was the one who commanded her
love, that she never loved Burch, and that Kennedy induced her
to leave Obenchain within a month after her marriage. She de
nied any agreement with Burch to kill Kennedy.
Madalynne And the Men
The following extracts from interviews and letters which the
prosecution says were written by Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain, on
trial in Los Angeles with Arthur Burch, her “platonic friend,"
for the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, whom she was to marry,
indicates her attitude and feeling toward the three men who
played such important roles in her life.
About her former husband, Ralph Obenchain, whom she di
vorced to go to Kennedy, and who rushed west from Chicago to
aid in her legal defense, she says:
“I have always thought a great deal of my husband, of his
character and unselfish devotion. He is very honorable and up
right. The reason I wired him to come when this trouble occurred
(referring to her. arrest for the Kennedy murder) was that 1
didn't want him to humble himself by coming to me of his own
volition—I deserved to humble myself by asking him to come. I
still have the highest esteem for Ralph Ofapnchain.”
Of J. Belton Kennedy, who was slain from ambush in her pres
ence, while the two w-ere at Kennedy's suburban and isolated cot
tage on the night of August 5.
“I loved Belton for five years; loved him with my whole heart
and soul. He was my ideal—my first and only true love.”
Concerning Arthur C. Burch, jointly indicted with her for Ken
nedy's murder, this:
“During my college days I had never been particularly friend
ly with Mr. Burch. He really meant nothing to me other than as
a friend. Burch's folks, old neighbors of mine in Evanston, III.,
didn't know I was having domestic difficulties until they read of
it in the papers. Then we got really acquainted. Arthur and 1
were very good friends at that time. Yes, I sent for him to
come to Los Angeles, but I did it in the same spirit I would send
for any friend. I knew he was haring family troubles just as I was
having, and I thought hr could find better opportunity for work
in the west.” ,
Madayynne Obenchain’s telegram to Burch, in response to
which he hastened from Chicago to law Angeles a short time be
fore Kennedy's murder, read as follows, according to authori
ties:
"Things look bad here. Come at once. Madalynne."

a sufficient number of people to
raise the 11,026.50 needed to reach

The gifts reported Friday were

so far exceeded what overy ono

REMARKABLE CAMPAIGN
This campaign is the outstand

I up to date.
I At ;i time when only a few
! thought that it could be done, and
many thought it ought not to bt
done uRatn God demonstrated His
approval of and Providence over
the work of the Athens' Young
Man's .Christian Association.
The Athens ”Y” ha* been loyal
to Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
and to the program of God’s King
dom. The Association has counted
itself as a.Son of the Church, loyal
and working for the Church. Ths
•• Y” has thought of all the boys
nnd young men—not of Just cer
tain classes. The Y. M. C. A. ha*
contributed Its best nt whatever
cost to the staff, or organization,
tr further the other fundamental
interests in our Citv snd County.
The motto—"Not for self, but for
others’’—can be truly inscribed on
the "Y’s” banner, and that is the

four-power treaty
Suppose sou had a sack of fine
marbles—big green agates and
clouded ones, too—and one of your
friends had a baseball bat and an
other had a radio outfit and your
sister had a set of water colors.
And suppose you were jealous
of each’other and each wanted the
things the others owned.
And desides that, suppose there
were several rough children who
might pick a fight with you Just
to take your things away.
Then you and your two friends
and your sister might get togeth
er and make promises. You might
say:
"We're all fond of the' things
we own. We promise that not one
us will take anything away from
another of us.
BANO TOGETHER
"And we promise that if these
rough children try to take anything
away from any one of us all of us
will keep them away. Each of
us promises to protect all the rest
of us." j
Now, that's Just what the four-
power Pacific treaty is. For the
problems of great nations aren't
much different ■ from the problems
children meet every dsy.
The four-power Pacific treaty la
on agreement or promise between
four nations—the United States.
Great Britain, Japan and France.
Our country has much trade or
business In the Pacific Odean. It
owns Islands there, too.
And Great Britain has much land
In the Pacific. France has acouu*
try called Cochin-China.
And all of Japan's land la in the
Pacific Ocean.
WASHINGTON
MEETING . .
These countries think Just, as
much of their land and islands as
you and your friends think of
your marbles, bat, radio set or
water colors, and they don't want
anyone to take their land swap
from them. , -
So men from these countries
met at Washington last year to
sign the four-power Pacific treaty.
The treaty says:
"This treaty is to keep .its
from getting into a light and to
make sure we keep the land wa
own. >
"If any of us get Into a quarrel,
wo promise that all of us will hold
a meeting and try to settle the
quarrel without any war.
"And If any other country pieka
op any of us four, we promlso
we'll hold a meeting ^and make up
our minds how we can keep that
country from taking our land
away.

Now. that's all there Is to tha
four-power treaty. Easy, isn't It?
But what does Dad mean when ha
talks about "ratification"?
Well, to ratify means to approve
or to say "It's all right." -’9
The government or the pcopleof
each country that signed the treaty
must ratify the treaty—must say:
"The treaty Is all right: we'll
live up to It.” , '-JJ
And our Senate, which has the
power to ratify treaties for tho
United States, is making up
mind now whether It will ratify,
the four-power treaty.
