ing that they had seen the two men
in question several times in ST.

DIR of his fancee, Freda Lesser, was
described as "a cold-blooded mur-

pecial attention to deposittions of

that out of the hundreds of persons
who~had known New, the defense
had been able to produce deposi-
tions from only three persons who

defense that New acted like an in
sane man in driving from Topango
canyon, few miles from here,

Cured to Central police station here
with her body in an automobile and
surrendering as her slayer when he
might have denied responsibility for
her death, Keyes said News act was
that of man of common sense.
"If New had buried the body or
thrown it into the brush" he de-
manded, wouldn't search have been
made? Wouldn't the authorities
have demanded an accounting from
Harry New as the man with whom
Miss Lesser was last seen alive?"
The prosecutor accused New OF
having betrayed Miss Lesser and
then, quoting a prosecution witness
charged the girl with running
around with other men,"
Adjournment was taken to Mon

THE E~XTRAVAGANT THIRD.

Herbert Hoover says that about
one-third of the people are responsi-
BILE for most Of the exaravagance and
waste In this country, and are, there
fore, chiefly responsible for the high
cost of living. Mr.. Hoover Is probably
correct. It is likely that the majority
OF the people of this country, probab-
ly two-thirds, are fairly industrious
and thrifty. But there Is an element
that is neither Industrious nor thrifty.
The members of this group are pretty
busily engaged IN consuming, not only
what they have created. but what 9TH
ers have created, and are given to hab-
It's OF extravaganza which demoralize
h entire situation.
THESE persons have bought extrav-
agently and senselessly, and the press
sure of their demands has diverted to
~non-essentials the labor that should
have been devoted to really construc-
tive work. Energy which should<have
been devoted to the production of
n~ecessarles in large volume has been
used to minister to- pampered appe-
tites and to the qualification of sense
less vanity. Because Of this it has be-
come Q and more difficult for the
great bulk of the population to obtain
h essentials of sane and wholesome
living. -zsg
Probably every period of great dis
has been marked by some
such manifestations. Certainly the per-
lodi Immediately following u civil war
was SO marked, and it Dol some time
for the country to resume it's ordinary
activities in Its ordinary way. We are
passing through another such stage
and we may hope that sanity will be
restored when we have had our fling
