HARRY LAUDER ON THRIFT.

There's too many people IN the
world who are afraid 10 practice thrift
for fear they'll be called "stingy."
That's a mistake" says Harry Laud-
er.
Maybe you'll be wanting my def1ni-
tion of the difference between thrift
and etinginess. Thrift is keeping your
money in your "pooch" biding the day
when you'll need 1t. Sunginess is put
ting a paddock on your pocket-and
your heart-to keep from helping the
other chap when HE'S needing 1t.
Thrift is the best insurance against
old age poverty that l know.
It's often a wee thing when you
start with Il, but It grows and grows
AYE, like compound interest In
the savings bank
Thrift is Just another name for self
respect.

Philadelphia. oct. 2S--Sight Of her
husbands spectacles when held up In
court for witness 70 identify drove Mrs.
Catharine Roster to tears today when
her trial for murder was resumed. she
Is charged with killing her husband,
Oscar. head Of an advertising agency.
and Mildred G.. Reckitt. his steno-
grapher She is being tried first for
shooting the girl.
The morning session was devoted 10
laying the foundation OF the case,
numerous plans and photographs of
accused Of killing both. were sub
mitted and explained.
Among the witnesses examined were
Frank Batchelor and /. BIB Tolin,
partners of Roster in the advertising
business. Bachelor was put through
a long examination by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Speiser. In giving a
description Of the room Bachelor was
asked 10 minutely describe a spot on
the wall which ne said looked like
blood.
The commonwealth. in It's address 10
the jury at the opening of the case
contended that the stenographer was
working at Q typewriter when she was
shot by Mrs. Roster and pointed 10
the blood spot as evidence that she
was not on that side OF the room
where there was a couch when Mrs
Roster entered the Office and fired at
her husband and Miss Reckitt.
Bachelor identified Rosters blood
marked glasses. With the production
OF the spectacles Mrs. Roster, who had
appeared calm and frequently confer
red with her counsel, put both hands
TO her eyes and broke into fit of
crying.
Bachelor also identified an autOma-
tic pistol which Rosters brother, Ar
thur, had given him at Oscar Rosters
home a week after the double shoot
ing.
The defense won an important pOin
when the court upheld its contention
that testimony on the activities o.
| Oscar Roster was Irrelevant in a trla
concerned only with the killing of Nil
dred G.. Reckitt, his stenographer. Tn
controversy arose when Tolan wa
asked by the prosecuting attorney T.
identify a memorandum Of a bushes
| engagement. Attorney Scott took oh
! lection. lie maintained that not eveI
a dying statement by Roster would b
proper in the present trial.
Tolan identified pears taken from
Mrs. Rosters handbag and testihe
| that her husband had given them {
her as a Christmas gift.
Did you collaborate," asked Scott
"at the hospital with Arthur, the dea,
mans brother, on a will for Oscar, eX
Guiding the wife and baby?"
Despite the vociferous objections o
