OF course. with our alloDaths and

quite a lot. but my school would be

What kind of doctor would that be-

Why, naturally. he'd be the doctor

was ailing, just as you go to regular
physician when your body's awry.
Suppose you don't make friends
readily; suppose you don't get along
easily with the other employees in
your office; suppose you are a young
girl and somehow don't appeal to
men; suppose, in spite of all your eff
forts against it, you are hopelessly
and insanely Jealous on the slightest
provocation; wouldn't it be splendid
to have someone to whom you could
go and tell your disposition-dis
and be treated?

PRIEST KILLED IN HOME
REV. FATHER ANSION OF NEWARK
On. j. SHOT BY STRANGERS.
Had Just Celebrated Mass and Was En-
tering Rectory When Assassins
Opened Fire.

NEWARK, n. J., March 1O.-Rev.
Father Erasin Ansion, rector of the
Polish church of st. Stanislaw, was shot
and almost instantly killed by three
masked men in his rectory early today
Miss Antonio Sewrzytska, housekeeper
for the rector, who attempted to prevent
the assassination, was slightly wounded
in the abdomen.
As there has been a dispute among the
leaders of the church over its affairs, the
shooting was at first believed to have
been the outcome of that disagreement
Three men, who were unknown to
the servants, called at the rectory while
the rector was celebrating mass in the
church. They were admitted to the
parlOr and Father Ansion was notified
of their presence as soon as he returned
from mass. AS the rector entered the
parlor, the men opened fire on him. One
bullet penetrated the breast near the
heart and the two others lodged in the
abdomen. Father Ansion died Ill the
ambulance while on the way to the hos
pitai.
The housekeeper was wounded in the
abdomen, but not seriously. Other
priests in the rectory, hearing the shots,
rushed toward the parlOr, whereupon the
assassins fled from the house and es-
capped.
-Four suspects have been arrested, but
the housekeeper was unable to identify
any of them.
