Hickman was left with five child
rem. with no means Of support, she
asserted.
After a hard struggle she and her
children came 10 Kansas City, and i
was here that her children worked
their way through the schools.
With her youngest daughter, Mary,
who is Is, Mrs. Hickman lives IN
three modest furnished rooms on the
city's east side. Mary now Is a
student in the Central high scnool.
"My boys were ell good boys as
serts Mrs. Hickman. They worked
hard and helped me. And they were
good in school. Edward always
studied hard and seemed most inter-
ested in making. his grades
"And he sure did make his grades"
his sister Mary adds.
However. in the questioning Of
Edward HickmAn's acquaint-nees. |
have found one man who believes
the model student was suffering
from mental abnormality.
He il Charles Edwards, former po-
lice chief Of this city.
Police Chief Aided Him
II have known Mrs. Hickman ana
her family about eight years" says
Edwards. Last January E'ward
came to me and asked me to assist
him in getting employment in Los
Angeles. He told me he wanted 70
20 there for a change Of climate.
II wrote n letter Of introduction.
and this he presented TO the First
National Bank of Los Angeles.
II afterward learned that he cot
employment there.
AT the time, however, ] observed
the youth was uneasy-he had q
sort Of wanderlust or roaming dispo-
sition about him.
Il knew the boy had studied hard
in school and | thought the trip 10
Los Angeles would do him some
good.
But TO my surprise. / learned IN
July he had been arrested for for
gerry.
"W. II. Holland, chief probation Of
ficer OF Los Angeles, wrote me and
told me of Edwards difficulty. sug-
costing that he believed the boy
should be given another chance.
81 heartily agreed with Mr.. Hol-
land. and in my answer 70 him
stated that ! noticed that Hickman
was restless and strange in his man
ners and not like other children OF
his age.
Hickman was paroled and he re-
turned to Kansas CITY in October.
That is the last time ! say him."

JULY is SUCCESSFUL SOCIALLY;
AUGUST BRINGS WINTER PLANS

groups have already begun to lay plans
for farewells to the younger set whose
minds will in few weeks turn study
ward. The opening of the city schools
will give new activity to the high
school group.
In the Country club circles many
preparations are going ahead for the
renewal of the winter activities. Carl
Cole is the new chairman of the social
committee and has promised to have
announcements of the winter program
ready for publication in the near fu-
ture. We are told in soto voce, among
the golf addicts, that this new social
program will contain a wealth of in
terst for the golfers as well as the
other members.
Douglas is looking forward to the
return of hundreds of vacationers with
new ideas and new life to add to the
gaiety of the city.
There has been no lethargic summer
this year. Under the circumstances
the coming of fall should bring ac-
tivity in social circles such as has
never been experienced before. The
secret of this is added prosperity
which Douglas is experiencing, and
will continue to experience. K.

July in this city was essentially the
month of brides. The ancient honor
accorded the month of June will soon
be usurped if the preference in the
southern countries for July continues
Many weddings of note took place
throughout the city.
Young people with whom the older
generation had not kept pace have in
the past month become householders.
In the train of all these weddings
there have been a considerable num-
ber of parties. Showers, dinners and
other functions have feted the newly
wedS.
The light rains have cooled the city
during the month and many more
social functions have taken place than
would have been held had the weather
been of its usual summer warmth.
The Country club witnessed one of
its most successful parties during the
month just passed.
Altogether in social way no one
can say that July has not been more
than satisfactory.
With the coming of August, antici-
patton takes its place in the scheme
of things.
