 MT Zimmerman recalled to the jury that when Floyd Butts arrived at the cook shack on the Green ranch cn the night in April when the shoot ing occurred he had noted that Amanda Butts had her hands up- raised. He heard the excited voices of both women and then his wife's "Oh, don't" Zimmerman then took up the defendants own testimony how she had broken down under the cross examination because of her very innocense.
 She said her memory was hay" said Zimmerman, and that she could not remember every incident but in cidents worth remembering such as when Amanda Butts slapped her face and kicked her, she recalled" He contended that she had a right to i that of her unborn child in danger.

That the young wife on trial had not been normal from | birth was discussed by counsel for defense who featured Dr. Monical s 1 testimony that woman is not re-
 sponsible for her acts when in Mrs 1 Butts condition at the time of the
 murder.
 1 County Attorney Laney declared
 hat the poor memory" of the de- fendant was a refuge and that Mrs
 Butts had been conveniently vague. l He said that counsel had made ( slight effort to show the defendant
 sub-normal but he asked the jury tG remember the testimony of Dr. Mary Neff who while she said the de-

 Rare and revenge, he declared prompted the shooting. Should murder be condoned be cause a woman is in that condition. dueried the county attorney "Car
 we let such a monstrous doctrine gair
 root in this country? Because
 woman is about to become mother
 should she be allowed to slay?"
 He told the jury he would be lack
 ing in his duty as public officer
 if he did not prosecute Ethel Butt:
 and declared a division of responsi

 Mrs. Butts was permitted to re turn to the Vendome hotel with he relatives to await the verdict of th' jury.

 "The law knows no class, no sect, no sex said the county attorney yesterday in his closing argument to the jury in the case of the State versus Ethel Butts, charged with the murder of her sister-in- law, Mrs Amanda Butts. The states attorney urged the jurors not take into con sideration the fact that the defend ant was a woman. and by false idea of chivalry grant her an ac- quittal.

~MOTHER BROWN

A train news service official offers
the suggestion that passengers throw
their newspapers out of the window
after reading them. Our soldiers are
guarding bridges, tunnels and via
ducts and they have little or no
chance to buy daily papers or other
reading matter.
Down in southeast Missouri, in the
hills of the Ozarks, lives little old
woman with bent shoulders and white
hair. She is Mother Brown" teach
er, reader and interpreter for the
whole community. From all direct
ions, down the lanes, scrambling over
the rocks, and hobbling slowly with
crutch and cane, come the neighbors
of the Ozarks. Old men, little chill
dren and young women, all go down
to Mother Browns" cabin for their
nightly stories.
From off the shelf behind the rock
fireplace, she proudly takes down the
mysterious bundle. The children
crowd around, the old men settle
themselves comfortably on the few
chairs and boxes while Mother
Brown" reads stories from the news
papers. She reads slowly and care
fully, some of the words are un-
pronouncable, but the story is there
just the same.
The touch of the world, the out
side life of which these people know
very little, is brought to them by
Mother Brown" and her newspapers.
And where does she get them? She
walks two miles to the railroad, where
each day a thoughtful conductor
throws off the bundle of newspapers,
thus bringing entertainment and
knowledge to small community in
the Ozarks.

LABOR in WAR TINE

England and France both have mao
labor troubles on account OF tne
overworking of laborers when the
war started. The efficiency of the
laborers cannot be kept up if they
are worked overtime and not allowed
any days of rest. Engand's ex-
perience with wartime labor is well
told in a few words by James ii.
Thomas, Member of Parliament and
Secretary of the National Union of
Railwaymen of Great Britain and Ire
land, in a speech at the headquarters
of the American Federation of Labor.
His statement follows:
"One of the mistakes that we made
in the war was to forget the human
side. At the beginning of the war
some of our people worked 100, 10
and even 120 hours a week. They
worked seven days a week, too, with
never a day of rest. Then they be-
gan to get worn out and conditions be-
came alarming. Now we have gone
back to Sunday and Saturday half
holiday and overtime has been re-
duced. If you're going to have long
war you can't afford to sacrifice
labor-power."
Another phase of the labor problem
is the child labor situation. Samuel
Gompers has protested the proposed
suspension of the Federal Child
Labor Law 1t is not necessary to
put children to work in the factories
according to Mr.. Gompers. There is
no work that children can do at the
present time. The shortage of labor
is in the skilled trades. This shortage
will have to be met in some other
way, probably by the substitution of
women workers for men wherever
possible.
The United States should profit by
the experiences of England and
France with regard to the labor
question.

its soil of the hated Boche.
Splendid Organization.
Some say that France is on her last
legs. If this be true, l have but one
comment; it is the strongest, healthi-
est pair of legs have ever seen. Her
troops are well fed, her depots and
supply stations fully stocked, while
back of the lines some distance are
seemingly countless numbers of
shells, stocked provision houses, can
non and far necessities, all ready to
be loaded and hurried by rail to
points where very hordes of trucks
are waiting to carry them on to con-
sumption and utilization.
"At times it would seem as though
France needed no other crops but her
own. The fields, unfenced to the
roadways, are bearing wonderful
crops Countrywide the granaries are
filled, the barns are stocked with un-
threshed grain. The stock looks
healthy and plentiful, the horses are
well groomed, the country folk look
hale and hearty.
"The fields are largely worked by
the women and young boys, leaving
only the plowing and hauling to the
oxen teams and old men. The stores
and shops are run by military in
eligibles, too, and early and late they
work like calloused veterans. This is
all but a part of militarism, that
benevolent despot supreme in France
today. For the despot has ruled that
