that frightful night of the murders till sometimes I'm almost crazy, and absolutely sick from crying.
 Could I, I wonder, have prevented anything if I hadn't gone to my aunt's? Would Mother have taken me with her, maybe? Would she have told me anything? Had she any presentiment of what was go- ing to happen? have turned this over in my mind ten thousand times. . .
 But this I do know-that where ever my mother is now, she would tell me not to grieve, but to pull myself together and go on, trying to be something, trying to "get somewhere" as she used to say, and Tive some kind of a life"
 Mother had no fear of death. Often she used to speak of dying, and say: "Kid, when you see me in my coffin, don't cry please. You can be sure it's all right and that I am glad to be away from it all-in a better place perhaps. Don't ever pity me-"

Wife of Gov. Fuller
 Influenza Sufferer

Boston, Sept. 10 P-The illness of Mrs. Alyan T. Fuller, wife of the governor, has been diagnosed as influenza by her attending physicians at the Massachusetts General hospi- tai. The case is not severe, it was added, although it probably will pre- vent her participation in the Massa chusetts day ceremonies at Phila- delphia September 27.
 Mrs. Fuller was taken to the hos pital yesterday and occupies a room adjoining that of her eight-year-old son, Alvan, Jr., who broke his shoulder in a fall from his pony last Tuesday. Doctors said the boys condition was satisfactory while his father pointed out that 1t was "his shoulder, not his spirit" that was broken. The governor has been confined to his summer home at Rye Beach, N. H., with a severe cold.

GERMAN ENVOYS
 REACH GENEVA
StreSellann Now Looks for Change in European Complexion

Geneva, Sept. 10 CP-"The cur tain has risen for the play" This Is the view of Dr. Gustav Stresemann, head of the German delegation which henceforth is to sit in the league of nations and its council as full members and on equality with the representative of the other na- tions of the world.
 A delegation arrived in Geneva last night after an uncomfortably warm trip from Berlin and was warmly greeted by a crowd at the station.
 "The last three or four years in Europe have been the overture to the play which is now beginning" Dr. Stresemann told the newspaper correspondents, and added q hope that the play will lead to the re- construction of Europe, so neces- sary after all that Europe has suf- fered during the horrible war"
 The Reich foreign minister thinks that reconstruction of Europe Is only possible by cooperation and good faith.
 T am glad to be here" declared Dr. Stresemann with a smile on his face as he stepped from the train. T am glad to be back in Geneva. I am glad to see such an optimistic peaceful spirit"
 Dr. Stresemann indicted the be- lief that a new era bod dawned for Europe - an era in which old rivals such as France and Germany. would bring more and more their prob- lens and those of their allies to Geneva for settlement. He empha- sized that Germany, which previous ly had expressed views against en- largeement of the league council now was reconciled to the solution of the question which had been made. He said his country would take part actively In the councils work, as we'll as that of the other branches of the league.
 Dr. Stresemann scrupulously re- trained in his talk with the interna- tional journalists from mentioning Spain's abstention from participat- ing in the present assembly. He thanked the newspapermen for the spirit of impartiality in which he said they had judged Germany's for eign policy in the past and hoped for continuance of this attitude in the future.

taxpayers to support those that are
not
We would draw the line between
private and public enterprise accord
ing to a different principle. Any
purely public service utility is a prop
er subject for public ownership. If it
can be made to return a profit, so
much the better for the taxpayers.
After all, the larger purpose of
government is service-not merely
the exercise of police powers, but the
highest welfare of the whole people.
When this can not be secured thru
private enterprise, it becomes not only
the privilege but the duty of govern
nent to supply the need.
Private businessmen the "big
business" which today assumes to
dictate to government-has no rights
superior to the right of the Who'll
people to be served in whatever may
be the most efficient and economical
way. Wherever and whenever this
can be done better through public
ownership and governmental opera
tion, private business has no case.
This is not socialism nor any ap-
proach to it. 1t is business sense ap-
piled to the business of the people.

Good Timber

The Tree that never had to fight
The sun and sky and air and light;
That stood out in the open plain,
And always got its share of rain
Never became a forest king
But lived and died a scrubby thing.
The man who never had to toll,
Who never had to win his share
OF sun and sky and light and air,
Never became manly man,
But lived ard died as he began.
Good timber does not grow in ease;
The stronger wind, the tougher trees
The farther sky the greater length
The more the storm, the more the
strength,
By sun and cold, by rain and SHOWS
In tree or man good timber grows.
Where thickest stands the forest
growth,
We find patriarchs of both,
And they hold converse with the stars
Whose broken branches shows the
scars
Of many winds and much strife
This is the common law of life.

BROADCASTING EXPENSIVE

The cost of broadcasting station,
according to Martin P. Rice, manager
of broadcasting of the General Elec-

Some stations represent a much larg

less. The annual cost of maintenance
is approximately equal to the cost of
