MAY BE ANSWERED IN THE NEGATIVE.

There amenities in murder cases. Possibly a sOcla
code is in the making. From Mays Landing where MIS-
Iendahl faces jury called upon to decide whether OF
not she a participant in the murder OF her husband
comes the that after she had given to Sheriff Ilmno
daughter garments knitted during her visit to the JAIL
Sheriff Ciino in turn showed her the arrangements made
for her trial Mrs. Llliandah asked where she would SIT
When the place was indicated she expressed satisfaction
ooh isn't that nce? she said Told that the switchboard
with it's wenty-six trunk lines, used at the trial IN the
HaLM case she showed appreciation OF TINS
bit of information remarkng Oh, really ism that inter-
esting?' -
Apart from these evidences of polite response to the
courtesy extended by the sheriff her OF the court room
and the aside for by reporters prompted Mrs.
Lliendahl to put question that will appeal to many as
pertinent and important rs it really all necessary! she
asked
There are odfashoned folk who have already put that
question to themselves and answered in the negative In
so doing they were denying that trial for murder
should be reported reasonable detail but such reporting
as has marked of the trials ustfes this reply
Of the thoughtful. The millions of words which flowed
through the switchboard when Mrs Hall and her brothers
we're on trial in another New Jersey and the sordd
story spread before the public during the New York trial OF
Henry Judd Gray and Mrs Ruth Snyder for the murder OF
the wonans husband fresh in the minds of the public
Now the scene is set for similar performance The switch
the to the pages of the papers
Mrs. Margaret Lliendahl asks if it all necessary
Whether or she guilty of the crime charged against
her. she puts question that can be senbly answered only
in the negative

BE YOUR OWN MAN

The most worth while achieve
nent in life is the achievement Of
freedom. Freedom in the right
sense does not mean to be without
a job-working for nobody, belong
ing to nothing. Freedom is a mat
ter Of spirit and personality. # is
a matter of being sure OF oneself
and being without fear. Most men
and women are hedged in and made
miserable by fears. They fear peo-
pie for whom they work or with
whom they are associated. They
fear public opinion. They Gear to
have convictions and to express
them. Fear dominates them and
keeps them from freedom.
1t is a glorious feeling feel
ing of independence. The achieve
ment of the sense OF freedom is.
perhaps, the greatest of all. perso-
nal achievements.

From where | sit | get a very
clear viewpoint on the modern
young man Many of them have be
come so used to me that they re-
gard me not as woman OF age
and more or less dignity, but one
of themselves. Indeed when two or
three of them enter a discussion it
seems at times that they forget
that | am there. | might just as
well be the humidor that is rest
ing on the table between them, or
any part of the furniture which
adds to their contentment.
The other night at a dinner
where all the men seemed to me
only boys grown little taller"
and | was the only woman present,
| got a most peculiar slant on the
modern mans reaction to the wo-
men he meets.
These boys We're talking of an
absent friend who had just broken
off his engagement with young
woman they all knew.
Il don't blame him a bit" said
one of them. 1--WE never in all my
life known such 'demander.' g"
MAY | ask what is a demander?"
broke in, in my most casual voice,
for | rarely interrupt these boys

a girl who demands your compli-

She's the girl who telephones
to you two or three times day

She demands that you SHAH call

She hangs you to her chariot

CHRIS TIANITY

A noteworthy-and sad-charac-
teristic Of the church is the lack of
Christianity among average mem
bers. The preachers are far ahead
Of the pews. They must often ieel
discouraged. Christianity is way
OF life, manner of thinking and
doing and living. Thousands OF
church members don't know it..
Thousands Of church memhei are
not Christians. They ara narrow
intolerant, bigoted, cruel, eeotis ie,
and thoroughly unkind. If they
were put out Of the church by he
pastor. as many of them deserve
to be, their feelings would be hart.

failure.

growth and spread, and adoption by
the individual, Of a spirit OF kind
ness, ii means nothing worth Willie
and it is not worth keeping.
