woman is of the type who. If tho trail
comes too close, would kill herself rather
than face the music"
Said Dr. Justin Herold, criminologlst:
TITS a woman's crime. Eliminate all but
women. Find the female who loved Joe
Elwell, not wisely. but too we'll and you
will have the murderer, And I'm willing to
stake my reputation further-that when
they find the murderess. she will be ac-
quilted"
Not only were crimiDologists, but astrol-
ogers, consulted for their opinion about
the murder. Professor William II. Mac
cabee, an astrologer. "charted" the mys.
terry by analyzing the solar system at
the hour Elwel was killed-between 1880
and $50. Here is Professor Maccabcc'S
verdict:
What we wish to learn from the posi-.
tions OF the planets and their aspects in
the astrological chart in reference to this
mystery is:

the police concluded.
The theory Of burglary was also quickly

During the weeks of investigation that
followed II was established that, while
Elwell was supposed to maintain bachelor
quarters at the Seventieth street house,
he had often entertained women there.
Mrs. Larsen admitted that she had re-
moved some pink lingerie from a closet
In the bedroom which Elwel usually
occupied. Photographs OF more than
1000 women were found among the per
sonal effects OF Elwell. Yet few OF
these we're autographed. And the identity
of the women has remained uudisclosed.
The photographs were not made public.
The police also found that, adjoining
Elwell's own bedroom, was another that
was elaborately furnished. This had
many toilet articles, showing that II was
sometimes occupied by a woman--or wom-
en-. The morning OF the Staying this room
had been occupied and It later developed
that the occupant had left the house, in
the opinion Of the police, before Elwell IVES
killed. She was variously described 81
'the woman IN blue" or the woman In
pink" But she was never found.
The police questioned everyone who had
been with Elwell the night before the
murder or who was known to be intimately
associated with him. Victor Won Schlegel
was able to trace his every movement,
from the moment he he'd left the Ziegteld
Frolic until he picked up the paper tbs

Various authorities agreed that Il was
"a woman crime'-either that woman

VOTE FOR A. {. SMITH
FOR THE ASSEMBLY

With all due respect 70 the uuaIifi
cations of the other four candidates
in the field for the Assembly, the Cen
sor believes that the interests of YER
non county will be better served if
Vernon voters cast their ballots NEXT
Tuesday for A. &. Smith. Mayor
Smith IS young and vigorous, man in
his prime. who is looking forward in
stead of backward and believes the
future holds better and greater things
than ever the past saw. That is the
true Progressive spirit and idea. and
If Mayor Smiths record does not re-
veal him as the true type of con-
structive progressive in all the affairs
of life. we do not understand the
meaning of the word. In his years Of
residence in Viroqua we have yet to
know of his being on the wrong side
of any proposition to advance the pro-
gress and growth of this community.
His every thought, word and deed
stamps him as being thoroughly CON-
secrated to the best interests of his
home community. Few men have Civ
en- as much Of their valuable time to
advance its interests as has A. q.
Smith. Whether it be in fraternal
circles, school matters, or as the CITY
chief executive, he has spared neither
time nor effort in community work.
and this section owes him debt of
gratitude which can best be repaid
by support at the election next Tues
day
Mayor Smith is essentially a man Of
deeds, not words. While Others talk
about what ought to be done. A. K.
takes off his coat and without fuss or
buster quietly goes after the Job and
gets it done. His efforts are always
constructive, not destructive He new
er tears anything down without build
ing something better to take its place.
The large part he has played in the
last two years in improving this ctr
Will ever remain as a monument to his
earnest efforts, and will be more and
more appreciated as the years go by.
His record on public matters is as
clean as a hounds tooth, and it is
upon the broad ground of value TO
the city and community, in view of
what he has always stood for and
helped to bring about, that the Gem
sor is supporting him.
Our strong stand for him is not
based on petty personalities or the
which the editor bears for
Mr. Smith, but solely upon his record.
The Censor is bound heart and soul
to the best interests of this commun-
ity, consecrated to its advancement.
deeply proud of its institutions and
people and improvements, firm in the
faith that it win continue to keep its
face to the east and grow; and be-
lieving in these things, it cannot do
less than support with its whole heart
the men who have been responsible
for the progress made. Mayor A. E.
Smith is such a man. We commend
him to the voters of Vernon county. ]
And we trust that the Progressive
voters. of the county viii unite upon
him. To scatter your votes is to throw
them away. Vote for A. E. Smith.

FEAR CALLED WORST ENEMY
Its Banishment From Among the
Human Race Would Be Wonder
full Step in Evolution.

The greatest enemy of the human
race Is fear.
If we could Danish fear in all its
forms Is would mean more to civilza-
ton than any previous step in evolu-
ton. Health would be UNNECESSARILY
improved; much unhappiness would be
wiped out; efficiency would be greatly
increased, and success would be the
rule. With the removal of fear would
come real human brotherhood. True
democracy would begin.
If you are not as well, as happy, as
efficient or as successful as you would
like to be, you may find the why In
your fears.
"As a man thinketh IN his heart, so
is he"-physically, in disposition and in
circumstances. Fear-thOught is toxic,
destructive and harmful. Some forms
of fear-thought are worry, hatred, jeal-
ousy, despair, anger, melancholy, dis
enlargement, depression, confusion,
negativeness, nervousness, fretfulness,
self-consciOusness, lack of self-confl-
dence and foreboding.
Fear of failure is also caused by not
thinking well enough of oneself. To
Danish this and all other forms of fear,
one needs another kind of thinking. Re.
place fear-thoughts with faith-,loushts
and Systematically cultivate the new
line of thinking until 1t gets to be
habit.
Take a mental inventory today! Seek
out your hidden mental weaknesses
and expose them to the light of fear
less analysis. Get to work upon your
fears and run them out. Flood your
whole mental region with faith.
Repeat daily and the results Will
amaze you.-Forbes' Magazine.

Anthropoloaists Believe It Was as

reported, the voyage seems to add
proof to a current theory of the man.
ner in which the innumerable Islands
of Oceanica were settled by man.
Now, the Pelew islands lie east of
the southern groups Of the Philippines
Sixteen savages in three canoes with
outriggers were fishing near one of
the islands when a gale blew up and
carried them out to sea. They had
nothing to eat but fish. They were
driven out for many days, some say
sixty, in which time they probably
travelled sixteen hundred miles in var
iOus directions, and at last sighted
FOrmosa, an island Of which they had
never heard.
Almost dead from exhaustion, they
landed and were kindly treated by the
natives of that island. When they
were able to eat and had regained
their strength they were sent to Hong
kong, thence to the Caroline islands
and from there home in trading
schooner. After more than three
months absence they were hailed by
their friends as risen from the dead.
1t is by such involuntary voyages,
anthropologists think, that man was
placed on many of the widely scat
tered islands.

RESTORED MAHAN TO HEALTH
Invitation to Admiral Responsible for
MarvelousIy Quick Recovery
of Famous Sailor.

A retired naval officer tells story
of visit made by an American fleet
TO British waters Admiral Erben was
in command, with the late Capt. Alfred
II. Mahan, the writer on naval affairs,
as his flag captain.
One morning, it appears, Captain
Mahan came to his admiral with an
invitation he had received to dine
with duke.
II can't accept this" said Captain
Mahan, "as, they forgot to invite YOU
II should say you couldn't" growled
the admiral "I'll answer for YOU
Whereupon the admiral wrote: "Ad-
miral Erben, United States navy, re-
grets that Captain Mahan, his flag cap
tain, cannot accept the invitation OF
the duke of Blank. Captain Mahan Is
on the sick list"
An hour or so later messenger
from the duke returned with invita-
lions for the admiral and the cap
tain. This time the admiral wrote ::
Admiral Erben accepts with pleas
ure the invitation for Captain Mahan
and himself. He wishes also to adj
wise the duke of Blank that he has
taken Captain Mahan off the sick
ist."-Everybodys Magazine.

Monster Goldfish.

In his notes in the Birmingham Post
"Pelican" has recently dealt with an
extraordinary fish caught by Coven-
try angler, Mr.. A. G. Kendrick. This
fish Is "a golden carp weighing only
two ounces short of II pounds, meas
uring 271a inches in length, q " inches
in girth, five inches in thickness, hav
ing scales two inches long and teeth
(now extracteD over an inch in
length" 1t was caught in pool on
the Walvey estate Of the Coventry Co.
operative society, and as its captor
was fishing with an eight-ounce rod
and 3x gut it gave fight which lasted
40 minutes. That 1t was golden carp
and not an ordinary bronze specimen
there seems no doubt-"simply blaze
of red and gold" is Mr.. Hendricks
description of it. Certainly we have
never come across such fish or heard
Of one. The biggest goldfish we re-
member were In pond in Kent years
ago, some of which may have run to
as much as three pounds, but not more.

Primitive Conditions Of, Life.

The natives of some unexplored re-
gions of South America make little
clearings, usually one or two, but
sometimes as many as 20 or 30 acres.
These gardens are disorderly affairs,
with the half-burned stumps left stick
ing up. They plant them without APP
parent method. They generally have
q great deal of casava, our tapioca,
which is their form of cereal. 1t
also furnishes the native drink, in fer
mented form.
AS to meat, they eat only what they
can catch and kill, wild meat, exclu-
sively, and they hunt largely with bow
and arrow. 1t ia no rare sight to see
an Indian starting off with great
bow six feet long to shoot birds, for
which he uses blunt arrow, says Pro-
fessor Gleason. They use barbed ar
rows to shoot fish.

Are You Playing the Game?

Athletics season is here once more.
We are playing captain, volley and
base ball. Are you, every boy and
girl of Thurmont High School, taking
part in these athletics? Do you real
ize what athletics will do for you?
If you do not, try it, and you will find
that it develops you physically, men
tally and morally.
Everyone knows that the body needs
exercise to keep it physically fit. Some
people say that working and walking
is enough exercise but it has been
proven that exercise which is not en-
joyable is of very little benefit. More
over in walking or working only part
of the muscles of the body are exer-
cised. Athletics give one chance to
exercise every muscle in his body.
Perhaps even more worth while
than the physical development is the
mental development acquired through
athletics. Athletics demands that the
brain think quickly. When making a
decision as, to what is the play, boy
or girl must be able to decide instantly
what his next play must be. If he
can not do this he is of no use on the
team.
Besides the physical and mental de-
velopment procured through athletics
there is the moral development also.
Does not one have to be honest when
he makes a decision in the game? Is
not one taught self control when ne is
taught to abide by the decision of the
referee and will power, when he is
determined to do his best to win?
Does not everyone want to be known
as a real sport? Do you not learn to
be one if you take victory or defeat in
these games in the correct way? Is
not the courageous boy or girl always
in demand, and doyou not want to de-
velop courage while playing? Last,
but not least, one has to conduct one
self properly and does not this good
conduct develop ladies and gentlemen
When the time comes for game if
you have acquired all these things,
whether you win or lose, will not the
opposing team think more of you, your
school, and your town? Are you not
judged by your conduct? Further
more will not these things make you
a better citizen of your town, state
and country? Is not the man or wo-
man who is mentally, morally, and
physically fit, the man who is coura-
geous and honest, who has will power
and self control, the kind of citizen
our country wants?
Boys and girls, think this over. Will
you, every one of you, play the game?

we widen the chest, lower the
