skull fracture such as Vahren-
kamp's to have been made, it was
extremely improbable that he would
fall on the stake in a way to
cause a fracture of the skull with
out an abrasion OF the skin. Both
stated that in falling forward. as
Vahrenhamp was said to have done
n instinctively puts out his hands
to break the force of the fall. They
said that if a man falls directly
forward there would not be a frac-
ture of the skull on the side of the
head where Vahrenkamp's head
was struck. The head would have
to be struck a square blow with
a blunt instrument in order to frac-
ture the skull without cutting the
skin.
The State called several witness
ses. DR.. Larson, who first attend
ed Vahrenkamp, stated that the
fracture in Vahrenkamp's head
could have been caused by falling
on a ten stake, but that in his
opinion there would have been a
cut or abrasion, and that the de-
preston could have been caused
by a hammer without cutting the
skin.
Strife Recalled
Lee Strife testified that Buck
Rodgers had made the statement
to him that young Rodgers denied
in his testimony to the effect that
father had struck Vahrenkamp
with a sledge hammer. He also
explained the position of the stakes
and guy ropes about the tent.
julius Vahrenkamp said that he
had stood near the first stake of
The tent, right south of it, in fact.
He said that he did not run to-
ward Rodgers and that Rodgers ;
lid not demand the return of $500
rom him. On cross examination
lie admitted borrowing $500 but $
said it was from Buck Rodgers, ]
lot his father. {
What Mrs. Strife Heard c
One of the most exciting mo- S
nents of the trial occurred during G
he testimony of Mrs. Lee Strife, g
allied back to the stand as a re- 4
initial witness. She repeated the +
words Rodger had said to his son II
7hen she saw him running from v
he blacksmith shop. She said she b
id not see Rodgers when he came &
1to camp but recognized his voice IL
said that he "a talking pretty
ough. On ross examination At p
1rney Bramble attempted to con- Il
use her and mix her up on her d
tatements, but she remained cool o
nd collected. He asked her to re- o.
eat the words used by Rogers IL
hen he came into camp. She re- n
lied: HE said You run off and Of
1T me- and then he swore." Well,
THAT did he say? Can't you tell c.
lie just what he said? ETC." he ST
rged. Must l repeat his lang So
age?" Mrs. Strife appealed to m
ldge Paul. Before the Judge could a
sply, Attorney Marion broke in, sc
80 ahead, tell him what Rodgers be

RS. Strife repeated verbatim bl
odgers' vile language directed to cI

JUDGE ADVOCATES
TERM MARRIAGES
FiYe-Year Bonds, With 0p.
lion of Renewal, Seen as
Divorce Check.
BY the Associated Press.

0y tu6 Associated PresS.
LOS ANGELES, November Five
year. term marriages, with option of
renewal, were advocated in a state
meHt to newspapers today by Judge
Charles S. Burnell, presiding iurist of
she Los Angeles Superior Court, in
order to adjust book law to current
usage"
Charging that divorce laws are
making liars out of thousands of per-
sons who want nothing more than to
be allowed to continue their lives
Alone" Judge Burnell suggested that
couples be permitted to enter into
marriage contracts for periods of five
years, renewable by mutual consent
for additional periods. Divorces under
the term-marriage plan would be
granted on two grounds only-incon-
Stancy and extreme cruelty.
Division of property and custody of
children of couple desiring to sep
arate at the end of a five-year period
would be settled by court decision.
The abolition of the present inter-
locutory divorce DEGREES is one of the
provisions of the term marriage plan.
Our divorce courts are Jammed
with litigants who are more victims
of an outworn legal procedure than of
guilty actions" Judge Burnell de-
clared. divorce actions agreed upon
by husband and wife produce a steady
flow of perjury and legal subterfuge.
Although the law now forbids
divorce by agreement-we lawyers
call it collusion--I am sure that 75
or so per cent of the divorces granted
are with the consent and hearty de-
sire of both parties. How many per-
sons contest a divorce action for any
reason other than consideration of
property or children"

MARGARET is entirely too at
AVA tractive to have her sweet
ness spoiled by a little trait she
is developing. But the fact re.
mains that in spite of her good
looks, intelligence and generous
nature, Margaret Is not popular.
Why? Because she has an If.
ritating perverseness. She con.
tradicts everything that she hap
pens to remember to contradict.
Il love that blue dress in the
window" a friend remarks.
II don't. l like the gray one
best" comes the reply.
Il wish we could go riding this
afternoon" suggests another little
girl.
II don't care to go riding today"
answers Margaret, quickly. ''I'm
going to cut paper dolls"
you had better wear your
sweater this morning." says Aunt
Mary, persuasively.
"Oh,, I'm tired Of that old
sweater" Margaret answers. ''Ill
wear my heavy Dress"
And so 1t goes. Day In and

people suggest, Margaret immedi.
ately finds some excuse to think
differently.

It seems q pity that such an In

should stand in the way Of a
child's harmonious association
with other young people, especial
ly when she derives no pleasure,
no sort Of exhiliration or Joy from
the practice. And. yet, most chill
dren are laundering along with
q similar handicap.
It IL because the mother is
with her children more constantly
than the father, that her small
faults show up in the children
more often than those of the
father. For the same reason she
needs to weed out of her char
acter any hateful little practises
that are undesirable.
Give yourself an honest and
thorough examination. Take into
consideration your disposition,
your manner Of speech, your at
titude toward your own family
and toward outsiders. Then think
honestly and carefully about your
child's disposition, his manner Of
speech and his attitude toward

may be that your effort will pay

he scaled the brickwork, and a sec

Again he kept perfectly rigid,
all his senses alert, peering into
the stiffness OF the garden below
him. estimating the depth Of the

an electric torch from his pocket,

at his feet.

Satisfied at last that all was

as he fell. Despite his great bulk
he alighted without noise on the

could be raised. Very gently, he

Again Jefferles produced his
torch. The inner door Of the con-

For moment he feared a trap,
then, with a shrug tof his broad
shoulders, he softly turned the
handle and entered. The room he
found himself in was in darkness
save where the rudy glow Of a
fair-sized fire fell across the soft
rugs and carpet. BY the freight
