Methods.

The missionaries and new selec.

ed at Keokuk by John G. Scott, chair
man of the local exemption board
from the provost marshal's office. The
selecttve service regulations, govern.
ing the new drawing of men for train
ing in the national army make a good
sized booklet The missionaries
cover several pages, and very fully set
out the status OF the selected man.
While no time is given in the litera-

the questionnaires, it is expected that
they will be sent out about December
15 1t is on this date, that the old
regulations are cancelled and the new
ones prevail This means that all men
not in service or under call of the
board must answer the questions. This
applies to men who have already been
exempted by the board, and to those
who have not been called.
The selective service regulation

neys Of Keokuk for their perusal and
to guide them in helping applicants
to fill out their papers, and the ques-
tionnaire blanks. The attorneys are
offering to assist in this work, and the
selected man will have their services
without charge, if he wishes them. AS
the QUESTIONABLE is technical in some
points, especially as to the exemption
features, the attorneys will be of great
help to the men.
There is a penalty attached to fail
ure to fill out the QUESTIONABLE. 1t

answer Mrs. Blanca DeSaulles re-
turned to District Attorney Weeks
here today when the prosecutor de-
manding her life, sought to picture
her as a frivolous Chilean beauty,
who spent her husbands money free
ly and then killed him after quar-
rel.
At times Mrs. DeSaulles spoke
barely above whisper. Fashionably
dressed women wept at her recital,
under cross examination, or gasped
with surprise at a quick retort by
the beautiful defendant.
Weeks had demanded to know why
Mrs DeSaulles maintained a gay and
carefree attitude during the time she
said her husbands neglect and mis-
treatment was crushing her.
Weeks questioned her as to let

had written DeSaulles, stating that
she chad all of the men at her feet
and danced until there was none
left"
You danced and yet your heart
was broken?" asked Weeks.
The reply came in a whisper:

Mr.. Weeks, not with your heart.

Mrs. DeSaulles said she was out
wardly happy. She did not let her
husband know anything was the mat
ter and took the blame for every
thing.
Weeks vigorously attacked Mrs.
DeSaulles' assertion that she remem-
bered nothing Of how she shot and
killed her divorced husband. Lam
guidly Mrs. DeSaulles deftly parried
the stabbing questions. He tried to
make her admit she remembered
some little incidents of the hours
she claims her mind was a blank,
but the frail defendant avoided. his
thrusts.
"You are very tiresome in your
cross examination don't wonder
the jurors are tired" she drawled,
deliberately at Weeks when juror
yawned

Weeks.
ooh. no. murmured Mrs De-
Saulles. with an aristocratic eleva-
ton Of the eyebrows. II realize you
have to do It,"
There was dramatic stiffness in
the crowded room as Weeks fired his
questions at the frail grill who sat
with hands folded meekly in her
lap, slowly blinking her great brown
eyes, pausing for painfully tense
period before giving Weeks reply in
her life's severest ordeal. The cross
examination tasted all morning and
was renewed this afternoon.
