prisoners the jailer took the keys
from a huge safe implanted in the
wall which he had to open with a
key he wore on his person. The
jailer told the coroner that the keys
were on his dresser in his bed room
when the mob awakened him and he
put them on his belt before going
down to face the mob.
Why he did not put the keys in
the safe and throw away the safe
key when he saw the mob has not
been explained. The sheriff appears
unable to explain satisfactorily a
number of incidents after he arrived
at the jail in response to the jailer's
telephone call for help. He says he
found the mob outside between the
courthouse and the main door of the
Jail. He says he argued with them
to dispense and they turned and
walked away.
Mob free to act.
The sheriff says he addressed the
mob as he stood directly beside the
stairs leading to the main floor of
the Jail. No explanation has been
made why when he turned and walk
ed away toward the courthouse, he
felt it necessary for him to enter the
Jail, which was safe against intru-
sion except by artifice. Nor has he
related why upon deciding to enter
the Jail he left the stairs leading d.
rectly to the main entrance and walk
ed fifty feet around the corner of
the Jail to the jailer's door. This
maneuver forced him to turn his back
to the mob.
He says he found the door to the
jailer's residence open, formed no
suspicion that mob members might
be inside the house, and tells of ar
irving at the steel door leading from
the residence of the jailer to the Jail
and calling the jailer away from the
main jail door to admit him. It was
then, he says, the mob -swarmed over
him from the rooms behind him,
darkened when the electric light
wires was cut earlier in the night
eight miles from town.

SIMPLE RULES FOR
WOULD-BE ORATORS
Expert Clues Some Aduice
on Public Speaking.

"William Jennings Bryan was a
great national figure not always be-
cause of what he said, but how he said
It," declared r. e. PattisOn Kline, pub
lie speaking expert at the Midwest
Organization school at Saugatuck,
Mich, recently.
"The spoken word can be made
1000 times more effective than the
written word" said Kline, because
the speaker may convey ideas by his
eyes, his body movements, his hands,
and by the infections in his voice.
ability to speak effectively is the
result Of training. The first time
Gladstone, the great orator, appeared
in public his speech was complete
failure. He was Kissed by the audi
ence. He determined to make people
respect his thoughts and began regu-
lar training by reading out loud and
practicing his speeches many times
before they were delivered.
abraham Lincoln, likewise, became
an effective speaker after long, ardu-
GUS practice in speaking out loud in
private. The first time he addressed
an audience he was so ungainly both
In speech and figure that people
laughed at him. He became one Of
the most effective speakers Of his
day."
Kline makes the following sugges-
tons for effective speech:
Speak distinctly.
Make your speech attractive. Make
It alive, active. Put pep into 1t. No
one likes a dead one.
Be positive. Adopt note Of au-
thority.
Dominate your audience.
Learn to be direct. Talk to people,
not at them.
Be spontaneous and so full Of your
subject that the words pour out flu
emily.
Never use a comedy story, or joke,
in a serious speech. Laughter and ap-
plause divert attention from what you
are saying. Don't try to get applause
If you want people to keep interested
in what you are saying.
Use plain language, short words,
and be accurate in your choice OF
words. Profanity and coarse slang
are detrimental to a good speech.
Learn to speak from an outline.
Don't write out your speech unless
necessary for press purposes. a,-r----.
Answer the questions, who, where,
what, why, how and when in your
speaking.
Divide your speech into introduce
ton, discussion and conclusion, and
make the introduction and conclusion
very brief.
Modulate your voice. Don't speak
in a monotone.
Don't talk too loudly; cultivate a
resonant voice with tone quality.
Look into the eyes Of your audi
ence and they will not see your ges-
lures.
Be aggressive. Lean toward your
audience with one foot advanced and
hands at the side when not making
gestures.

Several Local
People Buying
German Police Dogs

German police dogs seem to be
growing in popularity in this city
since Mr.. Wiley passed through here
on his way to and from Deadwater
where his famous pair were engaged
in the search for Kenneth Lancaster.
First Chief of Police Franklin D.
Gaskell possessed himself of one of
the offspring of the two dogs, and
now officer F. E. Allen is the proud
owner of six-weeks old pup.
Because the young fellow IS so
genuinely German, Mr.. Allen has
given him the appropriate name Of
Bismarck, and hopes he will prove
to be as important in dog land as
his namesake was in Germany.
Officer Allen is a great lover of
dogs, and it is not an unfrequent
sight to see him leading some stray
dog around on leash, making
friends with him as fast as he can.
The two pups now belonging to
Chief Gaskell and Officer Allen are
the only Doberman pinschers in the
city. and they are planning to train
them together.
