Linton s Gas
Produced by
Ne7U Method
Experts See Butane
Process Getting First
Test.
By Times Special

By Times Special
LINTON, Ind, Dec. 10.-A process
for making gas to supply this city
is being studied by a group of ex-
perts, its use here being the first
commercial venture ever made with
the process.
R. D. Leitch and c. A. Traubert of
the Pittsburgh (Pa) experimental
station, bureau of mines, United
States department of agriculture,
and 0. M. Setrum, gas engineer of
the Phillips Petroleum Company,
Bartlesville, Okla, are in the group
inspecting the work.
A hydrocarbon known as butane
forms the basis of the process. 1t
is shipped here in tank cars, in
liquid form, and mixed with suf-
ficient quantity of air to make gas.
The theory is the same as that by
which gasoline and air are mixed
in an automobile carburetor.
With the new method, no expen-
sive equipment, such as required for
plants in larger cities is necessary,
and gas service is therefore available
to small communities which could
not get it if the supply had to come
from the system in general use.

FATHER'SFEAR
OF SON BARES
MURDER TALE
Elder NorthCott Declares
Terror Forces Him to
Tell Story.
BODIES HIDDEN ON FARM
Damaging Evidence Given
Against Youth and His
Mother.

BIZ United Press
RIVERSIDE, Cal, Dec. 10.-Fear
of Cyrus G.. Northcott that he might
share the fate of four boys, alleged
to have been slain by his son, Cor
don Stewart Northcott, gave police
additional damaging evidence to-
day against the younger Northcott'S
Riverside murder farm"
Broken by worry and illness, the
elder Northcott, who for several days
refused any statement, told police,
II will have to tell things about my
wife and son."
Gordon Northcott is charged with
the murder of Lewis and Nelson
Winslow, Alvin Gothea and Walter
Collins. The body of Gothea, found
near Puente several months ago, is
the only one found. The mother,
Mrs. Louisa Northcott, also is under
indictment for murder of the Collins
boy.
Still Loves Kin
The elder Northcott's first admiS
sion was that he had taken I've to
the chicken ranch which he said he
thought was used to bury the bodic.
of the Winslow boys and Walter
Collins.
He interrupted his story with al,
avowal of his love for his wife and
son.
IT hate to do it," he said. II
don't know why 1 should love them
but I do, even though they treated
me as they did. Stewards mother
taught him to make me fear him..
He often struck me and threatened
to kill me. was deathly afraid OF
him and his mother was, too, if only
she would admit it."
Northcott denied he knew where
the graves were located and said he
believed the bodies all had beeIi
moved from the chicken yard where
he understood they first we're placed
"One night Stewart and his moth
er went out into the yard and told
me to stay in the house" he con-
tinued.
Had Bundle in Car
They bundled something into his
car and drove away. Next day they
returned at noon, dirty and tired.
When I asked, they said they had
been out in the desert"
At the conclusion of the fathers
statement, District Attorney Ford
announced the states case against
young Northcott and his mother was
complete.
The accused youth will be brought
here Wednesday from Los Angeles
to answer a joint indictment with
his mother on charge of murder
ing the Collins boy. The son has
not seen his mother since her arrival
here from Canada Saturday.

Not So Simple

HOWEVER it is fair to say that
II the subject is not quite as
simple as this. Many who fight any
liberalizing of birth control legisla-
ton can point to the fact that a
number of doctors find grave medi-
cal objections to all forms of con-
traception known at the present
time.
Chiefly, the opposition is religious.
The Catholic church, and some
Protestant denominations as we'll,
feel that contraception is contrary
to the will of God. However, I do
feel that no church dogma should
be binding upon any except the
members of that faith.
It is entirely reasonable that the
Catholic church should make the
strictest sort of ruling for its own
communications but this discipline
need not be bolstered up by secular
legislation as well.
The will of God, as interpreted
by any denomination is no part OF
a. Lawmakers business. Much mis-
sionary work must yet be done to
remind the general public that we
are not a Christian country. An
atheist can be just as GOOD an
American as Jew or a GENTLE.

T, B, HOSPITAL
DRIVE PLANNED
Flower Mission Society to
Start Campaign.

Establishment of an endowment
fund to provide funds for anti
tuberculosis work is contemplated
by the Flower Mission Society, Mrs.
David Ross, president, said today.
The society will start drive Jan
l for 100000 unit at city hospital
to handle tuberculosis cases.
This will take over the work of
the society in the hospital which at
present is located on Coe street, but
there will be a great deal of work To
do in the homes" said Mrs. Ross.
The society already has about
$4,000 which was donated by per-
sons who were interested in the
tuberculosis fight.
ut is hoped that it will not be
necessary to use this fund for the
hospital unit. We expect several
large contributions when our drive
starts" Mrs. Rose stated.
Arthur V. Brown, advisory chair
man, will name subcommittee to
draft plans for the financial cam
paign and to draw an agreement
between the society and city health
board as to the maintenance and
operation of the proposed 100-bed
unit. The new unit will be known
as the Flower Mission hospital.
DR.. Frederick E. Jackson, city
health board president, and DR..
William A. DoepperS, city hospital
superintendent, are cooperating
with the society in working out the
program. The city agreed to fur
nish a, site and maintain the unit,
which is to be known as the Flower
Mission hospital.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Con-

Things Not So
THERE is a great d

THEFE is a great deal OF mlSln-
Il formation current upon the
subject. Many foes of birth control
have endeavored to spread the be-
lief that the advocates Of contra
ception are attempting to legalize
abortion.
AS a matter of fact several coun-
tries, including Holland and Russia
have legalized abortion.
At the present time the aims OF
those who favor voluntary parent
hood are extremely modest. In New
York state, at any rate, they mere
ly ask that the law shall be changed
so that regularly licensed physicians
may give such information to their
patients as they think it desirable.
Obviously there are many cases in
which a physician cannot con-
scientiously say that woman's
health would be actually endan-
gered by child bearing even though
the status of the family may be
eravely injured by an addition.
The economic situation of a
patient is properly a matter of con-
Germ to the physician. AFFECT
poverty is certainly one of the
major causes which make for
nervous ailments.
I might as we'll state that I am
In favor of liberalizing the law.
After the manner of prohibition
we have legislation which discrimi-
mates against the poor. A woman OF
means can easily find physician
who will bootleg to her the infor-
nation which she wants. Doctors
who serve the poorer classes are I'M
willing to take chances.
Nor is the issue entirely per-
sonal matter. Palpably the state has
a stake in the matter of its birth
and death rate. We know that q
high birth rate almost invariably
means a high death rate.
Unwanted children do not fare
so we'll as those who are desired.
Moreover, any critical examination
of the cases which come before
charitable institutions will reveal
the fact that in many instances 1t
is the excessively large family which
has plunged the husband and wife
into want.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-12-10

birth control. The wife had borne
three children in three years and
the husband earned a meager SAL
airy.
AS far as the judges action went
I am against it. His opinion had
no legal standing whatever. I'm
all for judges sticking to the law
and abstaining from advice and or
derS which reflect mere personal
whimS.
Whether it is legal for physi-
clan to give birth control informa-
ton in Ohio I don't know. There
is no uniformity of practice in
America.
In New York a doctor may give
such information only in cases
where he feels that child bearing
would actually be dangerous to the
health of the patient. Under the law
he may not recognize at all the
economic factor.
Sooner or later the subject of
birth control will become political
issue in the United States and I'M
fortunately it will involve religious
feeling.

Jungle" the forbidding stretch of
grim buildings and dark alleys where
two years ago the assassination of
Don R. Mellet, Canton editor, was
plotted, was invaded by police today
in search of the pale, slim girl who
killed Vernard Fearn, young Waco

night
Fearn was called to the door of his
home and five steel-jacketed bullets
fired with unerring aim, riddled his
body. The gun-girl, described by
Fearn's wife as a slender and at
tractive young blonde. calmly walked
to an intersection and hailed bus

Full and Fair Hearing

A t the very least, the subject OF
IN birth control is important
enough to merit wide popular ex-
animation and discussion. This we
have never attained.
One very common argument
against any letdown in legal restr1c-
lions against birth control concerns
the spread of immortality.
People say that if contraceptlon
were more generally understood, I'M
married persons might sin more
readily with fear removed. I have
never felt that fear as an effective
or a healthy deterrent.
