PRETTY AIDE IS
CENTRAL FIGURE
in MURDER TRIAL
State Claims Dentist Gave
Girl Ring Taken Off
Slain Wife
BY United Press Leased Wire


LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21.- Dor
othv Leopold, pretty office assistant
to DIR. Thomas w. Young before the
latter's arrest fer murder, was the
central figure today in the dentist s
trial on charges of asphyxiating his
wife with poison gas.
Miss Leopold, now Mrs. Ralph
Mahan, was the girl to whom the
dentist gave his wife's four carat
diamond sparkler, which the state
claims he stripped from the slain
woman's fingers before her body
was buried in a cement cistern in
Beverly Glen.
The girls testimony is expected to
aid the state in its efforts to prove
the dentist is sane. She was said
to have been frequent companion
of DR.. Young at dances and house
parties on several nights subse-
quent to the Staying.
Mrs. Mahan is credited bv the
state with having obtained a con-
fession from DR.. Young, which has
since been repudiatcd.
Another witness subpoenaed to-
day was young "Pat' Grogan, the
murdered woman's son and heir to
the late 'olive king 81 fortune.
Son Marked Too, Claim
This lad, it is claimed by the
prosecution, was Marked for the

LONDON, Aug. 21.-The world S
record long distance radio press in
terview was held today when I con-
versed across $4,000 miles Of space
with Commander Crosse Of the Unit
cd States battleship Seattle, at
Wellington, N. z.
This feat of aerial communication
and journalism was made possible
through the courtesy of the famous
radio amateur. Gerald Marcuse. who
without any pre-arrangement, estab-
lisbed in fifty seconds, a link by air
with the battleship more than half
way around the world from here.
The commander aboard the visit
ing L. S. battleship in far away
New Zealand could hear my voice
plainly, but he gave his answers in
Morse code. The connection was
made at $3.50 this morning and l
asked the commander:
els there any truth in reports of
fighting between the American sail
ors and, the New Zealand police?'
Reports Are Absurd
"The reports are absurd came
his reply. "There has been no
fighting and no rioting whatsoever
The sailors are doing the best they
can do to enjoy the festivities show
cred upon them by the people of
Wellington.
My next reply was as to when the
the fleet would leave for America
and to this the commander answer
ed:
"Monaay.'' -
SIS New Zealand dry or wet?' /
then asked him across the miles.
Wellington is wet. both inside
and outside; it s been raining all
day. came his quick report, as our
interview ended.
Establishment of clear communi-
cation across such tremendous
span was viewed by Marcuse as a
forerunner of vast extension in the
use of short wave transmission. Mar
ouse is veteran experimenter in
bath long and short wave radio trans
mission.
For this unique interview with
the other side of the world he used
a pole of 75 feet with an aerial of
approximately the same length. This
required one half kilowatt power,
compared with the 25 kilowatts used
by the big stations. Marcuse used
a 45-meter wave length for this
test.

 GIRLS SC0RNFULLY
Life at Oxford College Not At.
 traCtiYe One

Oxford, England. Jan. 9.--Thirty two American girls hayo this year taken the short gown and attrac- tive mortar-board cap, without the board, that make up tho uniform of an oxford woman student. Only eight are in women's colleges, the rest being members of curious or ganisatlon called the Society of OK ford Home Students, which is not a colleges although remarkably like one and not a society of home stu dents. Most of the girls live in the cold and uncomfortable lodgings for which Oxford Is famoue.
 The lot of the woman students or Undergraduate" in Oxford Is not a very happy one. The four women's colleges are all very poor, badly st. uated and scantily furnished. The Society of Oxford Home Students, poorer still. cannot even afford a college.
 The grand old men of the univer- sity, the dons, fellows and heads of colleges who lived through the suf- fragette days when enthusiastic women poured acid on college lawns and corn syrup into college letter boxes, still look upon women students with mistrust and suspi' cion. While there Is not among OK. ford undergraduates that feelings oi resentment against women student! which leads Cambridge men tc

smash the gates Of women's colleges and to stamp and groan when q womas enters lecture room, yet their regard for the newcomers Is far from kindly, At best 1t may be defined as an uneasy consciousness of unconscious superiority, In the university Journals women students are fair butts for much crude hu- nor and harsh criticism, and the average undergrad would no doubt prefer to see them go.
 The company of the undergrad uette Is not greatly desired by the male, and her life Is hedged about with, the most exacting and bar- assing restrictions American girl students are much more popular than their English sisters, partly be- cause they dress more styllshly, and partly because the Oxford man shares with tho rest of Europe the pleasure notion that all Americans are millionaires. -.- .+.
 Any oxford don or professor who sees fit may exclude women from his lectures. Where they are not ex- oluded they attend with such zeal that men students complain bitterly that they take all the best seats. Women are admitted only to part of the university libraries. This Is no great hardship, for oxford libraries are notorious for bad cataloguing and lack of heat. It is no uncom- mon sight in the great Codgrington library of All Souls College to see a student dressed in overcoat, muffler and fur mittens coming great book of black letter.
 Aloofness and opposition on the part of the men of the university have driven the women to rely more and more upon themselves, and they are slowly developing social academic and athletic world, oi their own, like that of Smith or Wellesley. Meanwhile the life offer ed to an American girl student i not an attractive one.

FAITH AND FAILURE
BY THOMAS ARKLE CLARK

I DON'T remember much about chem
istry. l had it in my junior year in
college, met with good many disas-
tiers of glassware and chemicals and
passed the course after the ordinary
amount of mental struggle A few
formulate linger in my memory, but
these are not connected with any scien-
tific interest which / might have, but
rather with undergraduate escapades
made vivid and exciting because of the
introduction of chemical accessories.
do, however, remember my profess
sor of chemistry and the fact that he
was man of faith. He believed alb
solutely in the principles which he
tried five times a week to elucidate to
us. Crucibles and test tubes filled
with liquids that should have mingled
with the utmost friendliness might be
blown into flinders in unexpected ex-
plosions, salts might fail to crystalline
and regular phenomena refuse to oc-
cur; his faith was mistaken; failure
did not undermine its foundations

used to say, ''but the principle remains
the same"

what good does it do to be hon
est?" Borton asked me at the end of
the semester 81 wrote my reports
without assistance, l performed my
own experiments, and wrote the
examination absolutely on the square,
but got the lowest grade in the class.
don't want to "crab," but the man
who sat next to me Gid not do one of
his experiments honestly and rode
through the whole examination. Now
he's boasting that his grade is Is per
cent higher than mine. 1t looks to me
that whenever you're honest you lose
out"
WELL" I replied, "this was just once
when the experiment failed, but the
principles of truth and honesty haven't
changed at all, and their value is not
lessened. Keep it up, and you'll see
In the end it makes for happiness"
In the old Sunday school library
