tity or the motive of the slayer of
Mrs. Helen Whelchel, attractive
young widow, whose badly battered
body was found on railroad track
in the southwestern section of the
city yesterday where it apparently
had been hurled from a bridge over

vanced as to the motive of the slay-
ing. but the one being given most
attention by the police is the belief
that she was forced into an automo-
bile by some person who intended to
assault her and in the struggle that
ensued she was either killed or in
jured and the body thrown from the
bridge.

Demand for Change.
In statement last night, Represen-
tative La GIardia of New York, who
has allied himself with the progress
sives, declared the demand for modi-
fication of House rules was "as neces-
sary and justifiable as the fight against
Cannonism was in the past days"
"In that fight" he added, "the cour.
ageous had the support of a far-seeing,
courageous president. We would well
come such help now. The rules OBJ
tanned in that fight have now become
more or less antiquated. and after
these years in which control of Con-
gress has been steadily sought by spe-
cial interests, a modification and lib
eralization is as necessary as it was
then.

pie. and nothing can stop It.

accept the chancellorship and form q
cabinet to take the place of that of
DR.. StreSemann.
The prospects of a dissolution of

DISCARDING

To stand still is to stagnate. To change is to progress. To
throw off waste material; to discard useless things; to keep
abreast of the times-that is to grow.
Look at the human body. Is not the elimination Of waste
the secret of health?
Look at nature. Each spring brings its fresh bloom and
blossom. In the autumn these things are changed they die and
rot and the next season new blossoms appear ON the plant.
Look at institutions, churches, clubs, schools or business
firms. Which are the live ones7 Are they not always the ones
where ~antiquated and worn out systems and methods have
given way to new, up-to-date and modern ideas.
The same is true OF human nature. You and I must do the
same If we would march forward in lie's army. We must not
become clogged. We must not let the remnants of the worn
out past impede us. Our souls must not hold on to antiquated
ideals. Our hearts must not cherish harmful and bitter mem
cries, or worthless affections. Our minds must not be riddled
with moth eaten ideas or allowed to stagnate from the rust
of Indifference.
We must be keen, quick, alive to see and grasp new oppor-
tunihes. Like the good card player we must learn the art Of
proper discarding if we would be a winner in the game of life.

Well hear from her first:
Dear Mary Co.
1 am very glad to be a member
of your teaparty, and I surely enjoy
reading the "Five-Fifteen" every
Wednesday night.
I am a musician by profession, but
write poetry. stories, and literary
talks. Someday I will send a talk
from my book, called MY Sketch
Book" and I hope all the Five
Fifteen girls will enjoy 1t.
/ certainly enjoy reading "Ted's"
letters. They are so full OF life and
fun.
Best wishes for a happy Easter
and success to the tea-table OF the
"Five-Fifteen."
Respectfully,

Follows NJ. L. G.1s poem:

Who knows but the season of ha-
Might change into seasons of
bliss?
the heart and soul of man be
filled,
Whom beautiful Natures cup has
missed.
When comes the spring In all its
beauty
Scarcely a soul realizes,
New Life walks hand In hand with
Truth,
And all things evil despises.
Then comes summer in all its glory
Changing spring blossoms into
fruit:
Lovers will tell the same old story
Remembering not where 1t took
root.
The happiest days in all the year
Are the golden September days:
With the splendid harvests or good
cheer
Twill make a God-lovins soul
gay.
