is deeply interested.
Wendel was freed of murder
charges in the Lindbergh case. Ar

charge against him, Wendel was
left unhampered to testify against
his accusers, Wendel and Ellis
Parker, rural detective, may go be
fore another grand jury soon to ex
plain their clashing stories. Parker
says Wendel confessed the Lind
bergh kidnaping. Wendel says Park
er was responsible for an alleged
kidnaping and treatment so "brut
al” that he "confessed” to escape
them.

Miner, who was married when she
was 15 to David S. Miner, is now
39. She makes her charges against
a divorcee and Philadelphia dress

erman drew pickled hearings a
cross her married life, luring her

food, rich gifts, money and “sub
tlety and malice.”

summons was filed last June before

ited her one day. Miner was also
home at the time.
“Isn’t he handsome and good
looking?” Mrs. Miner quoted her
asserted rival as saying. "You
know, Sarah, you are fourtunate
having such a wonderful man, but
you are not suited to him. You are
not Jewish enough. Dave likes or
thodox Jewish food like pickled
herring, gefulte fißh and all that
kind of stuff. He can’t get that
from you. I think I’ll take him
down home where I can give him
all these things, as I also like them.
You know he is better suited for
me and I’ll give you 55,000 for
"It’s a shame that you have such
a wonderful husband who doesn t
seem to be for you. I hope before
T die T will have a husband like
Dave Miner.”
TIBET. MYSTERY LAND;
TERROR FOR NATIVES
LONDON, England, April 16—
Sinister tales of sorcery reach
us from the East, where every
thought, every action is governed by
centuries of ingrained superstition.
But none equals the sheer horror o
the mystic rites practiced by thaw
primitive people who live on t
high, snow-bound tnhielarid of Tibet,
savs a writer in Answers Magazine.
In the land of the Lamas a cruel,
austere religion exerclsesthe most
terrorizing influence over its devotees
rear of ghosts and demons haunt
every devout mind Some go mad or
die of terror during frightful cere
m Like many uncivilized peopies. the
Tibetans live at the mercy of their
own vivid and uncontrollable^ lmagina
tions. Grotesque and hallu
cinations monstrous shapes anu
phantoms— confront the credulous,
half-crazed Tibetans at «very turn.
Their terrors assume reality in
their own minds, till, hypnotized by
their fears, they are unable to dis
tinguish fact from fancy. They live
in a nightmare world peopled by
specters and demons.

SPECIALISTS GIVES
APRIL SUGGESTIONS
FOR RAISING CHICKS
ATLANTA, April 16—April is
one of the most vital months in the
raising of baby chicks, and this
week Agent J. F. Hart passes along
to flock owners and commercial
poultrymen suggestions that he and
Arthur Gannon, state extension
poultry specialists, have taken from
poultry experiments and exper
iences of successful poultrymen.
The first suggestion is to get the
chicks outside just as soon as the
weather will permit. Chicks may
be turned out during good weather
when they are 4 or 5 days old.
Slow growth and poor feather
ing of chicks are specially notice
able during April, and Gannon says
the cause is often too high a tem
perature in the brooding house.
About this time of the year many
poultrymen have trouble with their
chicks pick fig each other’s toes
picking feathers from their fellow
chicks, and otherwise turning can
nibalistic. That, Gannon says. Is
usually caused, by over-crowding
and close confinement. He says a
good rule is never to brood more
than 350 chicks to the lot. If feath
more room bv turning them outside
or dividing "them into smaller
er picking starts gfve the chicks
groups. Give them plenty of green
feed, and paint the chicks that
have ben picked with pine oil.
Plenty of dry litter is important
in preventing coccidioss, Gannon
says. That the Itter by dry is more
Important than that it be clean. A
deep litter of shavings or peat
moss can be stirred a little each
day with a rake or fork and It will
not be necessary to clean the house
so often.
Trippe—Say. old man, lend me a
five spot, will you?
Pawle —If you would save
money you wouldn’t have to borrow
from your friends.
Trippe—That’s the way I save my
money. .. _
Miss Gush (in a restaurant)— I
think it is a shame that cattle must
die in order for us to have this steak.
Mr. Guff—Yes. it is tough. Isn’t it?
COLUMBIA ASKS MORLEY
TO COME GET SALARY
NEW YORK, April 16 (TP)—
Christopher Morley is wanted up
at Columbia University today to
pick up his last year’s salary. The
pipe-smoking novelist, poet and es.
sayist is honorary night watchman
of the Columbia Press. He forgot
his salary until he was reminded,
and it developed that the Columbia
Press forgot It, too. Morley explain
ed that since his night watchman
Job was only "honorary," he had
been handling it by mental tele
pathy. The whimsical Mr. Morley,
who ‘most times gets way with his
elfin glee, is paid a salary by Col
umbia Press of —two cents a year.
The price of foolishness comes high
on the air. Grade Allen, leading
feminine exponent of the art of com
edy, and George Burns, her husband,
are paid $5,500 a week for their pro
grams.

CAIRO, April 16 (TP)—Sixteen
members of the Egyptian diplomatic
and consular corps are heading back
towards Cairo with their jobs in other
countries stripped from them. The
16 diplomats all are husbands of
foreign wives.
The Egyption government forbade
members of the diplomatic and con
sular corps from marrying foreign
wives several years ago. However,
it was decided then that those who
had married foreigners before the mea
sure was passed could remain on the
job.
Now a ruling is in effect. Egyp

was passed may stay in the govern

FALSE ALARMER HAS
REAL UNIQUE ALIBI
NEW YORK, April 16—George
Winslow may be getting some
comfort out of the fact that
the explanation he gave a judge
won the name of tne most unique alibi
in years. Winslovi probably needs
comforting thoughts, because he’s in
the workhouse for ten days.
Winslow was arrested on charges
of turning in a false alarm. Hailed
before Magistrate Michael Ford, the
prisoner said: “I neelel a nickel for
my subway fare home, so I turned
in a fire alarm. I thought maybe I
could borrow a nickel from one of the
firemen.
Magistrate Ford, after sentencing
Winslow to jail, reminded the nickel
needed that he’d have about five
miles further to walk w r hen he Is re
leased from the workhouse than he
would have have had to tramp when
he got the fire alarm idea.

STRONG DEFENDER IN
COLLEGE PROFESSOR
NEW YORK, April 16 (TP)—Left
handed people are Just as normal,
intelligent and can be as intellectual
as any right-hander anywhere, says
Dr. Samuel Orton— who ought to
know.
Dr. Orton is an expert on nervous
diseases and a Columbia University
professor. He told the New York Acad
emy of Medicine that the old belief
that southpaws are interior is based
on superstition—or perhaps on the
Latin word "sinister” or the French
word "gauche.” Both words indicate
a left-handed or left-sided meaning.
Dr. Orton said he knew of only three
cases where parents had tried to turn
their youngsters into left-handers.

BUSINESS has finished the first
quarter of 1936 on the highest rung
of the recovery ladder since 1930,

best volume of spring production and

cf the depression.
* Despite an exceptionally severe win
ter, with storms blocking the arteries
of trade; regardless of spring floods,
which tied up railroads and destroy
ed industrial equipment in the east
ern manufacturing region, in the
face of fresh political and economic
tension abroad, and notwithstanding
vital legal and legislative problems
in Washington, business and indus
try continue to expand.
