FATHERS LOVE
CAUSED MOTHER
TO SHOOT son

PITTSFIELD, July 25-The inner
home life of Mrs. Gladys C. Dunn,
her frequent quarrels with her hus-
band, ]. Allan Dunn, magazine writer
and novelist, her loneliness, her un-
happiness, her story of the tragic
death of her only child, ]. Allan
Dunn, Jr., aged three, as she disclose ]
it to State Detective Thomas E. Blgh,
was told to the jury by Mr. Bigh.
This was the third day of the trial
of Mrs. Dunn before Judge Nelson
P. Brown in the superior court on a
charge of second degree murder.
Twice on the afternoon of August
II, 1918, the day that Mrs. Dunn is
-alleged-to have shot her only son, she
inquired of the detective, while under
examination, how badly the boy was
injured and if he thought her son
would die.
Dist.-Attorney Joseph B. Ely dis
closed the alleged motive for the
crime while outlining the case for
the commonwealth when he said that
Mrs. Dunn fired the bullet in fit of
rage and jealousy. He said the state
would lay stress on jealousy. Mrs.
Dunn was jealous of the attention her
husband paid to the boy. She felt
that the boy was receiving the love
that was her due and she determined
that her husband should no longer
enjoy his sons society.

PROTECTION FOR
AMERICAN LOANS
MADE in EUROPE

Plans for the protection of the
to Europe for rehabilitation are out
lined in a statement made today by
James S. Alexander, president of the
National Bank of Commerce in New
York, who declares his confidence
that both financially and in respect
to products, America can meet
Europe's needs. He adds, however,
that there are grave times ahead"
unless a comprehensive scheme is
adopted for organizing American
credit for the purpose. He advocates
the ALLEGATION of American supplies
and the coordination of the demand
for them arising from the various
European countries. Mr.. Alexander
is a member of the recently organized
committee of bankers, formed to
work out ways and means to ref
nance Europe. His statement, pub
lished in the August issue of the
Commerce Monthly, the magazine of
business and finance issued by the
National Bank of Commerce in New
York, follows:
Adequate protection for the Amer
lean investing public in placing its
money at the disposal of Europe for
rehabilitation purposes is an essential
factor in our continued efficient CO.
operation with the war-stricken ma
tions. The paramount business prob
lem before America now is the eff
cient organization of her credit re-
sources for the-purpose of financing
Europe's purchases of materials for
consumption and reconstruction
pending her economic recovery. Both
credits and commodities must be sup
piled chiefly by America, and when
we consider the amount of credit
that must be found to meet Europe's
eXigencies for the rest of this year
alone, it is apparent that extensive
public cooperation will be required.
The United States has ample re-
sources, both as to materials and
credits, to meet Europe's needs.
Therefore, it is not a question of
whether we are able to do so; it is
primarily question of how we shall
go about transmitting our ability to
aid Europe into the most effective
of constructive accomplishment. We
can do it if we go at it right We
can both extend Europe needed aid
and conserve our own interests The
two must go together because to in
sure success in creating great cred
its, they must be based firmly on
such security as will inspire universal
public confidence and participation.
One of the most conspicuous fea-
lures of Americas war activity was
the way in which her plans were rea-
soned out and applied as a coherent
Whole-government, finance, private
industry and even the social habits
of the people, being coordinated to
achieve the one great purpose of
winning the war. We were able
to do that under the pressure and
haste of the war emergency for
which we were unprepared. | be-
lieve that, in the situation which
now confronts US, strengthened by
experience, we can, without the COM
pulsion of war time government au-
thority, rapidly work out equally eff
cient means and methods through in
telligent public planning and the CO.
operation to make sure that the
world shall not suffer a prolongation
of the catastrophe of war in the form
of financial misfortunes.

Icebergs to Be Used
By Wyoming Man In
New Irrigation Plan
From q Staff C0rrespondentD

Washington, Aug. 9.-lrrigation
of western lands from a hitherto I'M
known and untried source is prom
ised with the success of all expert
ment to be tried next winter by w.
H. Zindel of Kaycee. Wyo., who has
been in the east to test certain ap-
planes.
Briefly, the Zindel plan is to use
icebcrgs for irrigation next sum-
mer-real icebergs he expects to
build in Wyoming the coming Win
ter. He will carry water from a
mountain stream to a point where it
can drop several hundred feet--and
during the winter, when this water
is no, needed for any purpose, it
will freeze and create an iceberg
that will tot melt until long after
the winter snow has disappeared.
Il got the idea from visiting
Niagara last winter said Zindel,
land | can see no reason why it
will not work. During the winter
months thousands of these icebergs
can be built in Wyoming and the
west and they will hold the mois-
ture back until after the runoff from
the snow leaves the ground. Many
of them would not entirely melt
until late August"

"The Cadillac car, the Cadillac

Mr.. Hansen also remarked that he

of Cadillac cars seems to be the
only thing which worries Mr.. Han

good his promises to Cadillac pur-
chasers. He says that the factory

ments to him, which will make

Fuel Stoppage.

When the engine, after being
started, runs for minute or two and
then stops, the first place to look
for trouble is in the gasoline feed
line. A partial stoppage in the pipe
will lessen the flow of fuel so that
the float chamber fills slowly On
being started the motor at once con-
sumes this gasolene and then has to
wait for more. There is another
possible cause of this trouble, and
that is the float of the carbureter
sticking. OF course if the float is
stuck in a high position the flow of
fuel will be greatly lessened or even
stopped.
