tai defense which sho undoubtedly
will offer if brought to trial for his
murder. 1t is sentimental defense
which is being too much worked in

tify the taking of law into the hands
Of an individual even to the extent
Of inflicting the death penalty. AS
such it is an atteck upon all law and
upon society in general rs we'll rs
upon human life. Peggy Beal is no
inexperienced, emotional school girl.

sight and wrong OF the matter would
hardly be changed. She is an expcr-
fenced woman, married, and the
mother of child of four years, with
the added sophistication of training
and practice in nursing. She went
into an illicit love affair with her eyes
wide open. And when the man in the
case told her not only that he could
not marry her because he was not
divorced, but that he was IA devil

"Her faith survived" his refusal to

The illness of Pope Benedict was the
result of a chill which his Holiness
caught last Sunday when he was cele.
brating mass.
Throughout the week Pope Benedic,
although suffering from what was de.
scribed by physicians as "bronchia
catarrh',, remained cheerful. Yester.
day he asked TO be allowed to answe,
some correspondence but the request
was refused by his doctors.
! The turn for the worse came in the
early hours this morning. Pope Bene-
dict sank rapidly.
| Pope Bendict, who was conscious
and tranquil during the early morning
requested that the final sacraYent be
re-administered in the presence of the
entire Papal family and court.
According to Vatican ceremonial the
last sacrament is to be administered
only when he supreme pontiff in on
the verge of losing consciousness, but
in practice this rule has often been
changed as nearly every pope has ex-
pressed the wish to receive the Holy
Water when fully conscious of the
solemnity and sanctity of the act.
Pope Benedict especially has often
told his relatives and private chap
lains that he preferred to receive the
last communion while still strong
enough consciously to do honor to the
Almighty.
AS soon as the decision had been
reached to administer the last sacra-
ment, an order was issued to all of
the 400 churches of Rome. Almost
simultaneously the bells of all these
edifices began tolling to summon the
people for the public repose of offer
ing up prayer for the Pope.
At the same moment when the final
sacraments were administered, thous-
ands of people were on their knees,
either in one of the churches or in
private chapels.
The ceremony itself was simple and
affecting. AS soon as the Pope's prl-
vate confessor had finished confessing
him, the doors of the sick room were
thrown open and the prelates and rel
atives assembled in the anti-chamber,
entered.

BEER PRoPACANDAIS IS
REAL MENACE
BY CARL VICTOR LITTLE

By CARL VICTOR LITTLE
Omitted Press, Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, Jan. 20-A national
campaign to bring back light wine and
beers was launched here today.
Prominent citizens of liberal ten
dencies were urged to lend their
names and dollars to the cause of
making America wet again.
Alderman A. j. Cermak,. veteran wet
leader, formulated his battle plans
with his 'tmystery cabinet"
Cermak planned to flood most of
the states in the union with referen-
dunn petitions to "get an expression
from the people on whether or not
they want prohibition laws in their
present form."
Cermak said today the movement
was not an attempt Of brewers and
distillers to stage a comeback. He
said no contributions would be ac-
cepted from liquor interests.
II am the only member Of the COM
mittee who was ever identified with
the wet interests BEFORE" he said.
"The reformers will gasp when make
public the men who are lending all
their energies to this cause"
| Cermak said that taxes derived
from the sale of light wines and beers
would be a great aid in reducing the
enormous debt of communities. This
debt, he said, has increased since pro-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2o.-Failurc

900 allied debt to the United States,
means the American people must con-

that the foreign debt rfunding bill
provide for collection of interest at
stated intervals, beginning at once.

the bill ought to provide for the semi
annual or at the most the annual pay

who want to postpone the payment
even Of interest for number of years.
