Ft Worth. Tex, Feb. 5.-Love of
husband
For the wife it diminishes--yea
fades away. say the sages, for a
newer love. when baby comes.
But for Mrs. Thelma Nancil here,
death OF her first-born by sutfoca-
ton and stab wound through its tiny
heart. has served only to forge anew
the love links of courtship and
honeymoon days just ended.
In an anomaly of tragedy, the girl
bride and mother, over the corpse
of her infant son, is pledged to un-
dying faith and increased devotion
| to Ralph G.. Vancil, %, the husband
and father, held for first degree rur-
der in county Jail, charged with his
| otfsprings death,
Wife Remains Steadfast
Thus has she given refutation to
the theories of skeptical mis- gynists,
who hold that matrimony's romance
ends when perambulators and mid
night sentry duty in the nursery
are added to domestic burdens.
AS for Vancil, the husband, he
PAGES back and forth in his lone cell
refusing all consolation and crying
aloud protests Of rage, against ac-
cusations' of infanticide, police have
leveled against him.
Just lat sunup few weeks age
he led sheriff's deputies to crude
grave adjoining country road.
And there was found the body OF
his baby, Ralph~G. Nancil Jr., one
week old, still warm but with life eX-
tinct, under the pile of debris which
the coroner at the autopsy said, hat
been heaped upon the child even be
for death came.
"Tells Conflicting Stories"
Suffocation was the verdict. Blu
the stab wound through sthe heart
from which trickled tiny rivule
of blood, would have been sufficien
+ to kill, physicians held. -
Vancil denied his guilt and told
number Of conflicting stories, &C
cording ito police, following arrest.
One was that he had paid negr
$25 to administer chloroform to tn
baby to put it to sleep.
The couple had been married onl
a month before the child was born
Vancil explained that he wante
the infant quoted to prevent it flor
crying when he and his wife met
number of their college friends VIII
had planned celebration for then
and were unaware of the baby
birth.
But police say he has not salts
factorily explained away the blood

session by officers, who claim the
caught Vancil trying to burn the tell
tale evidence before an open fire.

SAD MONKEY
TAKES DOPE,

washington, Feb. -"Dopey Dam"
sad faced and melancholy monkey,
has been called upon to answer for
science this interesting question:: Is
a monkey imaginative, even under
the influence of drugs?
In other words, can an ordinary
zoo variety of short tailed similar
conjure up dreams of "a peanut laden
jungle?
Wherefore, "Dopey Dan" and lit
tie company of fellow martyrs to the
human race have been getting reg
a year.
That the result of this experiment
may benefit the human race is nc
salve to Dams spirits.
The Y. S. Public Health Service
desires to know whether drug ADJ
diet returns to dope" because OF
actual physical need or because he
imagines the need A successful an
swer may cure millions of drug add
diets.
But "Dopey Dan" merely sulks, dis.
consulate, in the corner of his cage
in the health service laboratory. His
narcotic supply has suddenly beer
stopped. His sad face seems to say
that it isn't fair to teach a monkey
to expect ''shot' and then deprive
him of it.
But Dan really doesn't know wha
it's all about, declares Dr.. =. 8. .,
Mez, who, with DR.. Kolb, is conduct
ing the experiments.

The experiments began about II
months ago. Monkeys were used be

New York, Feb. "A daughters
place is not in the parental home
after she is 81"
This is the latest policy Of Con
stance Bennett. the blond and beau
tiful daughter Of Richard Bennett
and Adrienne Morrison, both theatr
cal stars.
Three months ago She devised the
plan that brought the Bennett name
into print all over the country
when the family divided and one
daughter went into an apartment with
her mother, the other sharing one
with the father four blocks away.
Now Constance has given the mat
ter of domestic relations another
thought and has decided that parents
and children viii he much better
friends if they don't see too much
of one another.
SO she has moved again-this time
into an apartment of her own, in
which, she announced as we had tea
there with green parrot and a
brown chow dog watching every nib
bic, there will be just one boss-her-
self.
l couldn't help asking her just
what she had against the great
American home as an institution

"When a girl is growing up she
needs to be with her parents. But
if they haven't trained her to be

haven't done their duty by her and
they never will. And the sooner she
gets out for herself, the better.

$5.574, 500, 952. 800 that will theoreti-

Age 81 Has Tragic Meaning
for Average Man or Woman
U. S. Life Tables show health span extends only
from IS to 31-Earnings fall off
rapidly after 40

Physical freedom and full vigor-
what are they worth to youa This is a
question the average American can
answer from his own bitter experience
for at age 81 the average American
begins to slip. After 40 his earning
power drops off rapidly. These ap-
palling facts are shown by the United
States Life Tables, 1920.
Age 81 The age at which men and
women should be entering their period
of greatest usefulness and happinessl
The beginning Of the supposed "prime
Of life"
Not the prime Of life. The age Of
decay! What causes contribute to
this fearful conditions
Unwise eating. Sleeplessness. The
loading of the body with drug stimu-
lants, which appear to give added
energy, but actually BORROW this
energy from the body's own reserve.
Every school child is taught to
avoid stimulants. Most mothers en-
force the no-cofee rule for children.
Then comes maturity-and the squan-
dering Of the reserve strength which
the body has stored up. Figures show
that the average American is able to
stand the pace just Is years. Then,
with half his life yet before him, he
hits the down grade.
Medical literature classifies caffein
as a poison. Like strychnin, it is
sometimes by doctors given in cases of
heart failure. The average cup Of cof-
fee contains the usual dose Of caffein
administered in these cases.
Coffee contributes no nourishment to
the body. Its only virtues, as bever-
age, are its warmth and flavor. A hot,
appetizing, drGgless drink is a benefit
with every meal.
