mysterious death OF Mrs. Addie
Sheatsley, wife of Rev. c. V. Sheat-
sley, found nearly Il month ago in.

Rev. Sheatsley though is soon to
go back to bis flock after a months

ing his classes at Capital university,
where he serves as professor of re-
ligion. The parsonage, without the
mother who had made 1t the envy
of other ministers wives, still houses
the parson- professor and his four
children. Clarence and Milton, the
two boys, are once again stoling the
furnace that consumed the body of
their mother together with whatever
evidence of the method of death it
may have carried.

weeks, has all but forgotten that a
probable brutal murder occurred in

Sheatsley home, keeping away in

Sentiment hasn't from the first
been a part or parcel of the family
attitude or actions since it's mother
was discovered by Clarence on the
furnace funeral pyre, only to be al
lowed to lie undisturbed on the blaz-
ing Goals while he went to play foot
ball.
Rev. Sheatsley and his children
consider their tragedy a thing of the
past. Practitioners and students join
in aiding the erasure of its memory.

GOMPERS, ILL FOR MONTHS,
KEPT GOING ION His NERVE

Friday, Mr.. Gompers presided over
the sessions. This he did in UNI
heated halls and with almost con-
slant obstacles to overcome.
"Friday night, after Mr. Gompers
knew that he would attend no fur
ther sessions of the convention. he
sent Tor Vice President VOL and
asked him to deliver d final message
to the representatives of labor gath
cred there. 1t was message of
hope-a message to carry on and
finally to plant the banner of HUI
man, freedom high and firmly on
the pinnacle.
Died "On the job"
"More than once Mr.. Gompers
had said to his friends that he
wanted to die ON the job That, in
fact, is what happened. He spent
his last days in hard work. There
was no complaining. No holding
back.
"EIe was irked by the efforts of
his nurse and his friends to check
his expenditure of energy. And
finally he was irked at his own in
ability to go further He neither
wanted to stop work nor to die. But
finally Saturday came and there
was no going on.
There was disagreement as to
whether the attempt to bring him
home should be postponed or under
taken at once. He settled that, ques-
ton himself. Take me home was
his own verdict"

FIRST GREAT EASTERN PARK
GOES TO VIRGINIA BLUE RIDGE

phur Springs, w. Va, and Mammoth
Cave, Kentucky, We're among the
sites urged for selection.
While the great Smoky mountains
of Tennessee, North Carolina and
Virginia were described as superior
to the Blue Ridge mountains in al
titude and some other features, the
latter's accessibility to population
centers won the committees favor.
Hope was expressed by the commit
tee that the Shenandoah park would
be established and that it's success
would encourage congress to create
a second park in the Smoky noun
tains, which lie some 300 miles dis
tant southwest.
Although no effort was made to
estimate the cost of acquiring the
Blue Ridge area which embraces
700 square miles in eight counties
between Front Royal and Waynes-
boro, the committee expressed a be-
lief that through constructive coop
GRAFTON between Virginia and some
large landholders, reasonable prices
and probably some donations might
be expected.
The mountains on the site over
look valleys where battles Of the
Revolution and Civil wars were
fought and where several presidents
were born.

FASTING DOCTOR !,
SAYS ABSTINENCE
IS TYPHOID CURE

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Dr. Will
liam Il. Kumler, IS, who began
fast of indefinite duration on No
vember 26, rested at the end OF
ten-mile walk today, the seventeenth
day since he has eaten, to tell of his
theory of preventing typhoid fever
by abstention from food. Explain
ing that at the end of his fifth day
of fasting he had displayed all the
symptoms of a light, or, walking"
case of typhoid fever, DR.. Kumler
advanced the theory that such
self-imposed state should act as
permanent incubation against the
disease, which, he declared, never at
tackled the same individual twice.
He said that typhoid was a disease
of the alimentary canal and that
much the same condition induced by
the ailment was produced by total
abstinence from food.
DIR. Kumler asserted that his
senses were becoming more acute
with each day of his fast, and he at
tributed this to the fact that the
various organs of his body, freed
from much of their normal burden,
were able now to react to outside
stimuli with more vigor
Cold winds do not chill him as
much as they did when he was on a
| full diet, he declared, and although
he was losing weight at an average
of half a pound a day, he pronounced
himself more physically FIT than at
the beginning of the fast.
/ DR.. kumler will fast for at least
| p days, he, said and for as much
| longer as seemed expedient.''
