Robert McCarter. defense counsel
in the Hall-Mills murder case, this
forenoon resumed summing up of
the case before the Jury. He said
You gentlemen. will not be fooled
by the theatrical display of Mrs.
Jane Gibson who was brought into
this court and gave her testimony.
Was there any doctor to testify
that she WAS sick? She was here
with a nurse. who was on one side
of her bed with a hand on the
woman's pulse and a doctor on the
other side of the bed the witness
herself lying on the bed. Every
thing was made. Do You think she
was on the eve of her DEATH"
Intimacy Proof Lacking
McCarter challenged the State to-
produce word proof that Mrs. Hall
knew of the intimacy between Rev
Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills. If
the knowledge of their doings is
an important fact to the crime then
what about James Mills? He was
the woman's husband. the husband
of the woman and for two years
occupied room in the attic She
refused to sleep with him the very
night of the killing and he quar-
relied with his wife. Both children
were out. lie was smartng from
the quarrel. He was alone He
goes out and where he goes no one
knows.

Gentle Willie stevens. who never
injured Il bird, was kidnapped and
subjected to IA 33rd degree all night
in the presence of officers and
photographers and all they could
get was an innocent mans story"
Clarence Case called the prose-
cutting attorneys methods as. nasty
and unfair and most vindictve. II

do not know, because Schneider, |
who discovered the bodies of the
man and the woman, was not

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAZE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
quite prOpitiouS and the signs de-
note that there may be some pleas
ant surprise in store something quite
unexpected, but none the less graft
flying. Anything that calls for
energy and effort can be essayed
under the favorable influences that
prevail. and success is assured along
all lines of honest endeavor. Specu-
lation and hazardous risks are
doomed to failure. In the late after
noon the influences will not be SO
actively favorable. but recreatiOnal
amuSements will afford much pleas
ure and all reunions will be marked
by an exceptional degree of congen-
iality and enthusiastic cooperation.
1t is also an suspicious occasion for
travel.
Children born tomorrow will dur
ing infancy enjoy fairly good health.
If. however, the best results are de-
sired, unusual care should be eXer-
cised in alimentation and their en-
vironment should be wholesome. Not
until just on the verge OF adult
hood will they experience any seri-
GUS ailment. and the outcome at that
time will very largely depend on
how their constitutions were built
up in early childhood. In DISPOSE
ton they will leave much TO be de-
sired. They will be. in their teens,
querulous, selfish and self-centered
and very ambitious and more pleas
ure- seeking than acquisitive OF in
formation. Only by precept and
practical example can these unfor-
tunate characteristics be eliminated.
If tomorrow is your birthday your
temperament is difficult and no one
finds it easy to get along we'll with
you. This condition, and it is a
deplorable one. is largely attributable
to your criticism and fault-hndlng.
No one seems able to do anything
or say anything to please you. Be
lifting others efforts and magnify
ing YOUR own is a sure way to lead
to estrangement. The superior attl-
tude on your part is all the more re-
grettable, as you possess some very
fine traits. which, if allowed free
play, would make many friends for
YOU. Your Judgment is generally
good and you possess great power
for either evil or good. You are.
although opinionated, quite adapta-
bile. and ready to change your course
whenever you see storms ahead
You are fond of music and like
bright and an attractive home, al
though your disposition does not
help to make it so.
Well known persons born that date
are Oliver II. Perry, naval officer;
John Fritz, manufacturer and enGl-
neer: William Pepper, physician:
William H. Dali, naturalist; Frank
A. Munsey, publisher.

Tipping the Continent.

We think of the continents and the
general level of the land as immovable
save for occasional earthquakes Yet
there is abundant evidence to show
that at the time the Great Glacier
rested on the northeastern portion of
North America 1t was so heavy that
it tipped up the outer edges of the
continent, the way the end of see
saw will tip up if somebody sits on
the other end. Boston, for instance,
was probably far inland. and for a
time the whole continental shelf, as
the part of the continent now just
under water is called, was dry land.
You would have been able to walk in
a straight from North Carolina to
Nova Scotia without getting your
feet wet.
Now what do you know about that?
Answer to Yesterdays Questions.
/. The United States Is the greatest
country.
. Americans are the greatest TO-
bacco consumers.
3. Tobacco grows wild in tropical
America and the Far West.
t. The Indians were the first people
to use tobacco.
). The difference between tobaccos
is partly due to the grade of leaf
chosen, though q very important diff
ference is in the perfumes added to
tobacco and the method of curing.
6. Tobacco can be grown as far
north as northern Sweden. but not
profitably. Commercially it is very
successful in Massachusetts and
Southern Wisconsin.

Next morning her father said to
her:
Now you mustn't expect me to do
very much for you, Lois. OF course
I'll do what I can, but what's the
least amount you can get along
With"
Lois thought of the scanty con-

her old suit coat if she had 4 new

gave her a $40 bill
All day Lois worked making a
blouse from material she had pur-
chased, and with every stitch her
hope, her illusions, ner courage
tagged. Suddenly she dung her
work aside with a moan.
Il can't can't" she cried aloud
to the silent house. II am willing TO
give all, but I must have some love in
return. Oh. Gregory, Gregory"
She worked no more on the blouse,
hut put it away. That evening when
Gregory came Whistling up the street
she waited for him on the steps.
| There was no moonlight, only pres

the leaves.
Well" Gregory cried gaily rs he
sat down beside her. Il suppose
you've been getting your wedding

I'm not going to have n wedding
