Miss Lusk's Girlhood.

Portland, Or, May 28.-A memory Of
Grace Lusk S girlhood came to her de-
tense today.
Twenty two years ago the girl who is
now being tried in Waukesha, Wis, fol-
the murder of Mrs. David Roberts, was
a kindergarten teacher at the age of
l8. Strange actions by her then were
recalled today by J. F. Fuss who went
to school to the young teacher.
Fuss believes Grace LuSk to be suf.
fCnng from the effects of an unfortun.
ale incident in her early girlhood which
had such an effect on her that at times
she lost her self control
"Three of us boys for some small Of
Tense We're ordered to apologize to Miss
Lusk,'' said Fuss. "When We went to
her she asked us not to apologize, un-
less we were sure we were guilty. Then
she told how she herself had been fore
ed to apologize to woman for some
thing she had not done.
e" | shall never forget the woman
and shall always hate her for it, she
cried. Then she burst into bitter, hys-
terieal crying from which she did not
recover for some time. ="
Fuss, who is employed in a shipyard
here, formerly was principal of the high
school at Sussex, Wis, near Waukesha
He believes Miss Lusk is victim of
repression as a result of that incident
in childhood and that, as result, could
not be held responsible for unnatural
acts at certain critical moments.

Bakeries May Still
Buy Flour In Oregon

Portland, Or, May 2S.-The state
food administrator S office today clear
ed MP what has seemed to some to be an
Inconsistency in the rules for voluntary
guidance concerning this wheatless
week in Oregon.
The administration requested that all
retailers refuse to sell except to hospit-
ais, logging camps and bakeries. The
question was asked, why bakeries?
The administration explained that
flour rations for the bakers had been
set by the federal license system, and
as this week S request is purely volun-
tary, it would be impossible to go be-
hind the license system. Also, it was ex-
planned, to refuse to sell flour to the ba-
kers would put them out of business
which would be poor policy.
