I ORPET TRIAL ON-DEFENDANT
LOSES DEBONAlR AIR
The Orpet trial began at Wauke-
gan today.
Will H. Orpet, University of Wis
cOnsin student, appeared in court to
answer to the charge of numbering
his sweetheart, Marian Lambert,
Lake Forest high school girl and
choir singer.
It is expected that the trial will
be lengthy. There will be much
difficulty in securing a jury, it is felt.
The defense has already expressed
displeasure at so many of the first
venire being from Lake Forest and
Highland Park.
Orpet is wan and nervous. His de-
bonair air of the first few days Of
his arrest has vanished with the con-
finement of months in the musty
Waukegan Jail
Marian Lambert was found dead
in a Lake Forest woods following a
tryst with Orpet, who-came from
Madison, Wis, to meet her after
making efforts to create an alibi
which might later seem to prove that
he had not been away from Madison.
His alibi was crushed by States
Atty Dady.
The girls death was caused by
cyanide poison. No cOntainer was
found near the body.
Orpet, it is believed, thought his
sweetheart was in a delicate condi-
ton. She had thought so herself,
but shortly before her death knew
otherwise.

How is n man 10 control his think.

be prevented from interfering with
the power to work, 10 eat, 10 sleep

Still, there are some general rules
OF virtually universal helpfulness
Their observance will always 20 far
TO establish the desired selt-mastery
Of the mind.
And the first OF these rules Is,

The victim OF slight local troubles,

and worry.
So Is the man or woman who Is

In short. always remember that
anything which affects the body ad-

disturbing thoughts, shift the center
Of interest from yourself to external
things.

Let this ideal become dominant in
your life. and as time passes you
Will find that disturbing thoughts
come less and less 20 you.
Paying attention to the needs OF
your body, striving 10 lead use
ful. unselfsh life, there is another
general rule that may well be
adopted:
When disturbing thoughts DO
come. neutralize them by taking
stock of recent happenings that
have been favorable OF otherwise
pleasing to you.
This will have the effect both OF
diyerting your attention from the
subject that disturbs you. and also
II will serve to convince you that
there is plenty OF good In life as we'll
as evil.
Usually. in fact, IL you search con
sc'entiously, you will find that hap
penings favorable TO you far outbal-
ance disturbing ones.
This system OF taking mental stock
is a device for the cultivation o.
optimism. OF a hopeful, buoyant.
cheerful frame of mind.
And optimism, let me gay emphati.
