"'Sure, | wanted to shoot her,
the lad shouted at the coroner

you.
Before he could be stopped, the
lad grasped butcher knife and
rushed at the official. The blade
was wrenched from his hand before
he could inflict injuries ON the cor

the neck with a .32 calibrc revolver
late yesterday. The mother died IN

gardless of the concessions they
might make, and my advice to those
girls who do not make a spontaneous
hit with men is to stop wasting their
time and their energies in trying to
tract them, and find some real in
tereSt.
The queer thing about it is that
as soon as you reach the point where
you are Indifferent to men and don't
care much whether they notice you
or not, they will probably be crazy
about you.
And if you have everything else
in the world to make you happy, why
worry much over the man problem,
anywoy? 1t seems that girls put the
attentions of men above everything
else on earth, and feel that if they
are not being rushed by some man
be ever so insignificant-every-
thing else is dust. And that is truly
tragic.
However, if we try, we can find
many worthwhile consolation prizes
when we miss getting the thing we
wanted most.
