The life story OF Florence King
Harding. like an epic of sturdy Amer

continual struggle against great odds,
and of continual accomplishments.
From the day she first faced the

undertook the heavy responsibilities

Goes Hunting,
Bags Robbers

Linton, N. D., Nov. 2l.-Winch
Batter, formerly Of Hazelton, goes
out and brings in bank robbers in
stead of ducks and geese. The
other morning his bank was robbed

Sheatsley. pastor Of the Christ
Church, Bexley, a suburb Of Colum-

of his wife in furnace ut the
Sheatsley home Sunday might bring
some clue which would solve the
mysterious cremation, Prosecutor
John r. King Of Franklin county
(Columbus) today continued eXami-
nation of Mr.. Shcatsley and his four
children.
Funeral services for Mrs. Sheats-
ley were held at Paris, near here,
yesterday.
Awaiting Report
Prosecutor King also is awaiting
q report of Columbus analytical
chemists who made an examination
Of the lungs and sophogas of Mrs.
Sheatsley which Mr.. King said would
be forwarded to him today. The
prosecutor hopes that the analysis
will disclose whether Mrs. Sheatsley
breathed in the furnace. He said
if the examination disclosed that
she did not breathe, it would lend
credence to his theory that she was
murder victim.
Mr.. King declared last night he
"is not satisfied" she entered the
furnace voluntarily.
~ am of the opinion" he said,
"that eventual disclosures will prove
facts necessary to show that she
did not take this method to end her
life. l do not say, you understand,
that another killed her. That is
possible, of course, but am inclined
more and more to the belief that
the body was placed in the furnace
after life had passed from the body"
Mother Says Home Life Happy
Questioned by Mr.. King, Mrs. Ly-
dia Boneseller, S0-year-old mother of
the victim, who lived with the
Sheatsley family for number of
years declared "a more agreeable
family have never seen. Addie
was good and kind to me and so
was her husband"
Late yesterday, in note sent
Prosecutor King, Mr.. Sheatsley re-
iterated his belief that his wife had
been suicide victim. Milton, the
oldest son, in note to Mr.. King,
declared that when he entered the
furnace room and first saw the body
Of his mother, small door above
the coal door was open. In previous
statements to the prosecutor he had
declared this door was closed. Mr..
Sheatsley, in postscript to Milton's
note, said that "as you know, l
thought the little girl told me the
'Nsmall door was open; Milton now
Says he is the one who saw it was
open and that he closed it and is
so willing to testify"

of Dolls; Flees

Los Angeles, Nov. 21.-Moses
Washington, negro truck driver,
last night hastily deserted his
load and phoned the police when
he heard muffled voices coming
from one Of the long wooden
boxes in his load. Officers hur-
ried to the scene and opened the
box which Washington insisted
contained either dying or already
dead victim of foul play.
They found it snugly packed
with a consignment of mamma

bounced over a rut in the road,

compressed by the jolt, died in

LEST THEY'RE FORGOTTEN.

The heart of a man has not capacity enough
to feel as does mother at the grave OF her
son.
1t is not sufficient to tell the woman that be
fore her, under the sod, lies only skeleton.
The picture Of her boy is there.
She sees him as he marched away to the tap
of the drum with his bayonet glistening in the
rays of the sun, with a brave smile on his
young face.
Way back in the years gone by, he was her
baby her care, her delight part of her body,
perhaps almost all of her life.
His first pair of soft shoes, the train of
broken toy cars, the worn first reader, the
photo of lad looking awkward in long pants,
in her bureau drawer, all these mementos are
not more sacred than this mound under which
he is laid to return to dust, and there is no
philosophy, no religious belief that can take
from her the feeling that here, under the grass,
by the white cross bearing his name and COM
pany number, once again is her boy all hers,
though she may only tell him so with tears
and few poor flowers.
They list her boy as a hero, to be sure. He
died for his country. A glorious death. Yes. But
the dead are dead and gone.
Men who order war, the supreme misery of
war to mother is not the sudden shock to
her Of fatal news from the battlefield but the
living of the long years through without her
boy
Probably not two in hundred readers no.
ticed that, in the midst of the scandals, hot
lobbying and pulling and pushing of politics in
the late Congress, a New York Congressman
introduced measure to send over 1000 war
mothers to Europe, at government expense,
that they might stand at the graves of their
lost boys.
About $3.50 per mother for just sheer senti-,
ment, said some of the honorable representa-
tives Other matters of more pressing import
ance, said Congress, and busted itself about
millions for Goose Greek dredging, defending
the tariff on dye stuffs, committee junkets,
setting up of pins in the presidential campaign
and similar matters, and so the measure for
the comforting of sonless war mothers was lost
in the great shuttle.
But it must be revived in the December
session.
There is too almighty little Of honest, plain,
unadulterated mothers sentiment in govern
ment and in the beginnings and endings of
wars. We must show all the peoples of the
world that we know the awful cost of war in
every particular.
We must have in the miles of rows Of white
crosses in the cemeteries of Meuse-Argonne

"GOD KNOWES"

It is not improbable that the bob-hair
''phantasy," as we alienists may be inclined to
call it, is matter of cycles In spirit Of
levity, it might even be said that it has all the
appearance of having been attained by applica-
ton of sickes, but let that pass The main
point is that bob-hair is not new or original
with this age or moment, nor is the wrath it
excites without precedent.
AS far back as $50 years ago, we learn from
a letter written by John Chamberlain of Lon
don-John was some writer in his day-the
women of England went on such a short-hair
debauch as to reduce "their men folks, and
even royalty to a state that was almost
frantic" Indeed, the indignant and outraged
king ordered the bishop of London to call his
clergy together to inveigh vehemently against
the insolencies of our women, and they're
wearing of brode brimed hats pointed dublets,
they're hair cut short or shorne." In addition
and significantly, the king gave it out straight
that, IF pulpit admonitions will not reform
them, will proceed by another course"
Mr. Chamberlain was so sadly impressed by
the conduct of the clipped women that he
closed his lugubrious letter with this comment
on the situation and the kings order: 'The
truth is, the world is very much out Of order,
but whether this will mend it God knowes'
That, mind you was $50 years ago-in 1880
to be exact-and here we are again and with
no king to interfere. The world thenadays, as
it had been from the moment Adam and Eve
violated the law of domicile, was galloping to-
ward the devil despite the efforts of it's dis
Hturbed royalty and frantic men. Today, short
sighted, short-changed and short-haired, it is
doing the same thing again, or yet, according
to those who claim to know. Always, always
headed for the devil. And what will mende it
God knowes.

GHOST.

French inventors claim they have
perfected a "ghost plan" -airplane
without crew, piloted by wireless,
carrying explosives to be dropped on
enemy armies by radio control. This
is about the one hundredth time such
an invention has been announced. Of
course, it's quite possible. More than
that, inevitable.
You'll notice the claim for this un-
canny plane is that it can deal out
death. NO Boosting about economies
in transporting mail or express to far
distant or hard-to- get-to places.
The airplane, to date, is primarily
a war device.

Fables On Health
oFTRsT TEETH, IMPORTANT.


First teeth! How many parents real
ize their Importance?
They are known technically as de-
ciduous teeth.
They arrive about the fourth month
of a. baby's life, or whereabouts. They
should be shed between the age of 8
and IL years.
There are a great many people who
attach little Importance to them. Oh,
they'll lose them, anyway, the parents
say.
But this is why they are important:
The period of most rapid growth with
a child is the period in which the de-
cidious teeth are used. This is the
period in which a child should have
100 per cent chewing power. They are
used for anywhere between six and ten
years.
They are quite as important as per-
manent teeth and in health or dis
ease they have an important influence
on the growth of the child's body and
mind

French officers claim Germany has
1000 troops in training, all of them
being potential officers. The peace

not exceed 100000 men, including
officers. Security police" permitted to
her are extras.
Another claim is that Germany's
able-bodied war veterans total seven

TILE.

A man reveals his real sell by the
way he wears his hat, claims DR.. c.
W. Kimmins of University Of London.
He says a hat well down over the
forehead indicates thoughtful, sol
emn wearer. Pushed to the back of
the head, it advertises happy-go-
lucky. Tilted on the right side, the
owner is usually rowdy. Slouched
to the left, is the customary position
of a mental deficient.
Women are intuitively wise when
they fuss about getting their hats on
at just the right angle. It's the most
important trick of makeup. Maybe
the best way for man to play safe
is to wear none at all.

Americans, want it kept up or repeat
ed? They cried out so vociferously
against preparedness that our nation
finally went into war almost without
either arms or ammunition and we had
to be supplied largely by our Allies.
They cried out so Professionally against
all preparedness that we had to decide
upon methods of gathering soldiers,
organizing, training, equipping, sup
plying and moving them all after we
had declared war and even after we
had in small way begun to fight.
They made US lose nine months in a
crisis. These were the works of paci-
ficists, of the people who now oppose
the Defense Day Test.
/ am sure that the great majority
of US, the overwhelming majority, in
tend that this nation shall be ade-
quately defended and properly prepar-
ed for any emergency of war. There is
but one way to be so prepared and
that is to practice at least little in
time of peace what we will be called
on to do in time of war.
Our people, in their tolerance of
others views and wishes, have fallen
into the habit of permitting any voci-
ferrous minority to dictate to us. The
pacifists and directors in this matter
of the observance of National De-
Tense Day are unquestionably the
vociferous minority. The great bulk of
us do not mean to give up tamely our
part or property in the world or to
apologize to other nations for keep
ing our part. Are we then going to let
these pacifsts again, for any future
war or difficulty, as they did for the
last one, dictate to US policy of Ma
tional defenselessness and unprepar-
edness II cannot helieve il

In July, 1924, 1915 businesses fail

quite encouraging, for there were 1881

were on the boom. And failures in
July, 1923, were fewer than in any
month since November, 1920.
