SIX HELD ON CHARGE
 FIRST DEGREE MURDER
Continued from page 1)

Continued from page 1)
 ed with Paul Curtis, one of the defendants on the stand. Curtis gave a lengthy account of his whereabouts on Sunday and Monday morning in which he stated he was at his home when he heard about the kill ling of Jeffery about 9:30. He was subjected to severe cross-examination by Prosecut- ing Attorney Williamson and at times showed signs of agi- tation and waited long before replying to questions. When asked who employed his law yer and who was paying him, an objection was raised by Casey and the objection was sustained.
 Aaron Strother was placed on the stand and his testimony was that he had arisen early Monday morning and left home and had gone to the Martin vat, where the cattle-dipping was to take place and had heard the gun fired. He said that he looked at his watch and noted the time and had later come home by the place where Jeffery was killed.
 He admitted that it was his tracks the dogs followed to his house, but claimed the tracks had been made by him after he had returned from the Martin vat several hours after Jeffery was killed.
 Under cross-examination, he contradicted several statements he had made in direct testi- mony, and when asked by Will Hanson why he went to the Martin vat when he did not dip his cattle there, could give no logical reason:.
 Later a daughter of Stroth- CTS was placed on the witness stand and told of her father leaving home about ' o'clock Monday morning and said that later she had gone to school and did not know what time he returned.

Why Hair Stands on End.

When hair stands on end on the back of a dog or cat when frightened to the roots. The hair follicle Is like a iittle seed buried in the flesh. At tachad to either side of this seed are tiny muscles which run diagonally through the flesh from the lower part of the folliele. These little muscles are like the guy ropes of tent. They are what are called the erector mus cles, and when fear or cold Is expe. rienced these muscles promptly tighten up in such a manner as to "holst" the hair very qGickly.

Letters TO the Editor


TO the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir--It Is interesting to read the req :.
sons advanced by the Supreme Court OF
the United States for declaring un.
constitutional the Law. taxing the pro.
ducts Of child labor, the opinion Of the
court stating that the law interfered
with States rights. The law was
passed In the interest Of the education
Of the children Of the whole. United
States, and as education Of the child
Is the foundation upon which good citi
zenship is built, 1t would seem to the
ordinary layman that 1t Is matter
concerning the welfare Of all the people
Of the United States, and does not In
tefere with any States rights. When
such decisions are handed down BY the
highest court in the land, 1t is about
time that the people demanded that the
Judges OF the Supreme Court should
be elected by the people direct. II this
Is a government of the people, by the
people, and for the people, they should
have a say as to who. shall represent
them In the three branches OF the Gov
ernment.
In the Presidents Cabinet there is
no officer having direct charge over the
education of the people. There are de-
partments for the affairs OF State, In.
terior, Commerce, etc.. but the most
important feature in the development
Of the country is left in the hands OF
a small bureau in the Department OF
the Interior. The amount Of illiteracy
among the enlisted men In the army
during the last war was shown to be
26 per cent, or about 1,000, 900 out OF
the 1000 900 we're illitsrate. Quite an
item for a people that are to make the
world safe for democracy. The census
Of 1920 showed that about the same
percentage Of all the people OF the
United States were illiterate. Is this
matter Of interest only within the
several States or does 1t not affect the
life Of the country as a whole? Any
thing that 40 vitality concerns the whole
people should be a matter Of govern.
ment supervision and not matter for
the States to control.
We have all kinds Of organizations
and societies interesting themselves In
legislation regulating the habits. faith
and morals Of the people, but I have vet
to hear Of an organization that is up.
lifting the standard of education, and
bringing our system of education up to
date in all respects. In order to accom-
plish this we must abolish child labor
in this country.
