will try to reconstruct it at the trial :
Mrs. Stallman is fond of Patrick
Coyne. How shall she make him re-
ciprocate her feeling? By jealousy,
woman's age-old artifice!
She casts about for a decOy. She
hits or Masters whose business af-
fairs bring him into contact with
her. She'll just firt a little-all
very harmlessly, she thinks-and
Coyne will be caught.
But Coyne, thinking the plot to be
thicker than it is, goes to Mrs. Mas
ter. She becomes furious. But
things are patched up.
Then, in the next scene, the brutal
murder of Mrs. Master takes place.
Did Baster do it? Or did burglars,
as he claims? A jury must decide
that
To aid them they will not only
the testimony of little Helen but that
of Raymond, son, who slept above
the death room and says he heard no
scream, which Masters says his wife
emitted when terrified by the ma
RAIDERS.
And experts will testify that a
screen, alleged by Master to have
been broken by the burglars, really
was broken from the inside.
Such is the drama that started IN
comedy and ended in blood.

SEEDING IN DARK

ATLANTA, March 16.-The moon

perstition to plant crops in the dark
of the moon. When the moon is new
it is on the average the coolest time
of the month. The two to three
weeks which come just after have
good chances of being on the aver

RUSSIA PLANNING TO
BUILD UP INDUSTRIES

MOSCOW, March 16.-SBy the
Associated Press)-Leon Trotsky, the
Russian War Minister, may assume
a new job, that of directing the re-
Mobilization of Russia's big industries
if plans which are to be presented
to the twelfth congress of the Com
munist Party, meeting in Moscow late
in March, are carried out. Trotsky,
it is understood, would continue to
act as director of the fighting forces
of Russia, but will devote most Of his
time to the heavy task of whipping
Russian factories into shape. He al
ready has worked out plans to this
end, and will present them to the
congress.

the murder:
That Mrs. Elizabeth Master, IS

Now, from these known facts and
from other evidence investigators

he hopes to prove.
That Masters killed his wife be-
cause he thought an attractive wild

That the widow didn't love him

and so lose none of the possible
growing days of summer.
The moon does not confne its in
fluence alone to springtime; it af-
fects the climate at ali seasons of
the year. Scientists know a little
about how it does it.
1t seems that the moon produces a
deep-seated swing in the temperature
of about ~ degrees in summer and
IA degrees in winter. The month
would always be coolest at new moon
and warmest at full moon if it, were
not for the factthat the moons heat
has a plane, just as though it were an
astronomical body. The degree Of
this swing in temperature varies with
the seasons.
