But now the baby was going back
to Paramount with grandmother.
The sorrow of parting with her child
was an elemental emotion which
registered strongly with Dorothea.
Having had a share in the taking
OF a human life appeared not to
affect her half as much.
Emotions Are Dormant
When one knows the background
of Dorothea's life for the last six
teen years, perhaps it isn't so hard
to understand why Dorothea has
not gone into Mysteries, has not
even wept as would an ordinary
child facing what she faces. Il
Dorothea apparently does not feel
anything very strongly. She doesn't
even hate strongly. The only factor
which appears to have made much
of dent in her strange mental
shell is her baby.
And yet you wouldn't call Doro-
thea stupid, or even just dull. When
she talks she is animated, almost
vivacious. She jerks her straight,
blonde, bobbed hair out of her eyes.
She brushes a lock away from her
nose. She shrugs her shoulders.
Now and then a faint smile fits
across her face. She uses her hands
to emphasize her conversation,
OF Good Family
Dorothea comes of good family.
Not rich, not even comfortably stu
ated, as most city folks would re-
gard it. But Dorothea always had
decent clothes, and Dorothea had
an exceptionally fine middle-class
mother.
Dorothea began life under a
handicap. There were six children
in the family.
"Three months after Dorothea
was born, she had spinal and brain
fever" explains her mother, Mrs
Mary Cox, of Paramount.
"It lastedsix months and we
thought for long time we would
lose her. But she came through
and we never noticed anything
positive that would indicate she
was not normal. She did not, how
ever, have the realization of life's
difficulties which a mother should
have"
This illness of Dorothea's is like
ly to be heard of again and agair
in this case. 1t may turn out to BIZ
one of Dorothea's best defen5es. In
the hands of an alienist in c
murder trial, it would be invaluable

A number Of resolutions, dealing
with the life OF America, formed
the nucleus Of this mornings SEES
sion Of the Daughters OF the Amer.

Today's proceedings took on the
aspect Of routine parliamentary
session. with the more than 1900
delegates keyed to q high pitch
over the nominations for the seven
vicepresidents-generaI, which win
be the major portion Of the pro-
gram this evening.
One OF the questions facing dele

thirty-sixth session here in the

the rule that any such nominees
must be elected by secret ballot
rather than by viva voce vote.
The question OF States rights"
doomed out on the floor Of the con.
vention hall for the first time yes
terday, when the question OF the
manner in which nominees for ma
tional offices shall be chosen came
to the floor.
Members from the Southern States
stood firm in their demand that
the continental congress abstain
from taking an official part in the
prescription Of the method by which
state conferences select their choice
for national candidates.
Delegates from the Eastern and
Western States were equally in
sistent that the States abide by the
same bylaws and regulations in
their elections or nominations that
the national organization observes
in its elections.
After nearly an hours deIIbera-
ton. the house was called upon for
a viva voce vote.
This resulted in an argument, and
division was called for: later to be
modified by demand for a rising
vote,
The advocates for q secret ballot
Overwhelmingly won out, and the
revision OF rules was carried after
the defeat Of an amendment offered
by q representative from Vermont,
siding with the Southerners, which
would have given state conferences
the right to elect their candidates
for national offices in the way in
which they saw fit.
Another important step was taken
blythe Daughters yesterday when
without . dissenting vote. they stood
in support Of the movement to
place the Bible in public schools.
The sole aim OF the resolution on
/ which the delegates voted, was
against the Association for the Ad.
vancement of Atheism, which, It
declared, was trying to inculcate in
the youth of America the philosophy
