Many beauty experts have discarded
the electric needle and are now using
a plain delatone paste to remove hairy
growths because this method is almost
instantaneous and Is entirely devoid Of
pain. The paste Is made BY mixing
some powdered delatone with water
and this e applied to the hairy surface
for about TWO or three minutes. then
banishes every trace of hair and leaves
the skin soft and spotless. Be sure to
get the delatone in an original package.

GIRL SLAYER
REFUSES AID
OF ATTORNEY
BY The United Press.

By The United Press.
NEW YORK, Sept 15-Sitting calm
ly in his cell in the Tombs, Hans
Schmidt, the priest, who confessed
that he murdered Anna Aumueller;
cut up her body and drank her blood
TO consummate the sacrifice, today de-
clined the offer of an attorney for his
services.
"You and l do not understand this.
God and Abraham only will be able
to clear the matter up said Schmidt.
When Alphonse J. Koeble, the at
torney who has long known Schmidt,
left the confessed murderers cell, he
said Father Schmid would receive
with contentment any punishment that
would be inflicted upon him. There
is nothing you can do" KOeble said
Father Schmidt told him. IF ! need
"a lawyer God will send you TO me.
But my case is past human aid !
am content to receive the punishment
that may be ordered"
As Father Schmidt was talking, he
took a paper from the hand of Attorney
Koeble and noticing picture Of the dead
girl ON the first page, he raised it to his
lips and kissed IL several times. Then
he suddenly handed it back, saying he
did not like the taste of it.
Koeble then asked the priest if he had
married Anna Aumueller, Father Schmidt
reiterated his statement that he married
her, performing the marriage ceremony
himself.
u married her by command" he add
ed.
KoebIe told Father Schmidt that doubt
was expressed as TO whether he was an
ordained priest and also mentioned the
fact that hints that he might be in
sane were being made.
"Of course. am a priest. wa
| properly ordained" said Fathe
Schmidt AS to my sanity all grea
men who do things out of The or
binary are considered insane now
adays. There is no suggestion of in
sanity in my family"
Then as an apparent after-thought
Schmidt added: Il did have an uncl
who committed suicide. But ] am
priest. In fact | was ordained &
double priesthood, he said.
Schmidt did not xplain what b
meant by double priesthood" II wa
taken, however, that Father Schmid
meant that he had been ordained b

by st. Elizabeth as he told Fathe
Evers, the Tombs chaplain.
