Drag All Fears
Into the Open,
They Vanish
By Beatrice Fairfax


SoMETIMES it seems to me
~ especially when my mail is
a little heavier than usuaI--that
everyone in the world is puzzled
over a love problem. Fortunately,
my 1ovelorn correspondence to
the contrary, notwithstanding the
majority Of men and women are
happy in their romance. Were
, this not true, the proportion of
separations and divorces would
be vastly greater than it is.
Just the same 1t Is safe to state
that there are few human beings
Of adult years and intelligence
who have not at some time wor.

men and women have them to
solve most of the time. I am not
referring to love tragedies, but to
more trivial annoyances, doubt
and fears, uncertainty and in.

otherwise happy love affairs and
marriages.

his home, wife and children. Still
that worry persists. Are there

We are entitled to the pursuit of
constructive happiness in love if
successful romance will enrich our
lives. "A woman with a mind OBJ

Is unable to express her most at

chances of success in love are

BOY, !, IS DROWNED
PLAYING IN SAND
Child Slides Through Hole in

Sliding off sandpile on which he
was playing with two companions,
through a hole on the District sand
wharf at the foot of T and Water
streets southwest yesterday morning,

street southwest, was drowned in the
channel while his playmates looked on
helplessly.
The lads body was recovered in sew
eral feet of water an hour later, but

lishment from where he will be buried

One of the dead child's playmates,
Walter Owens of 900 G street south
west, narrowly missed the same fate, but

sand was about to take him through the
same crevice. The lad apparently SUI
fered no Ill effects from his experience
and walked to his home with his res
cuer after the body of his lost playmate
had been recovered.
According to the dead childs parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Noah Lee Best, little Al

ILLINOIS SUPREME
COURT IS HIT BY DEAN
Criminal Has Six and 0ne-Half
Chances to One to Escape Paying
Penalty, Educator Holds.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 29.-The Supreme
Court of Illinois was criticized for what
was termed overapplication of legal
scholasticism" in report by Dean j.
Harno Of the University of Illinois
given out today by the Illinois Associa-
ton of Criminal Justice.
The report, based on study of GRIM
inal cases appealed to the high court
over a period of 10 years, concludes
with suggestion for less emphasis on
trivial statutory technicalities and more
regard for 1.-The all-important work OF
determining the guilt or innocence OF
the accused
In his argument for less stress on
technicalities, Dean Harno cited an in
dictment In which 40 counts were APP
proved by the court, but the fifteenth
contained the name "Holberg" instead
of Goldberg and for that reason the
case was reversed.
The rule of evidence that husband
or wife may not testify for or against
each other was described as entirely out
of keeping with present ideas.
There are six and half chances tc
one that after one accused of crime has
obtained a reversal In the Supreme
Court of Illinois he never will pay the
penalties for his offense," Dean HarnC
said.

were burned beyond recognition.
William H. Oviatt, jr.. %, unlicensed
pilot of the plane; Ray Scott, IS, mo-
ton picture scenario writer, and Mack

anese gardeners heard a plane in the
fog overhead. They said the plane
suddenly reared out of the mist. its
motor suffering and its occupants
shouting and laughing The japanese
believed the plane had come down in
spin with the motor off. At a low
altitude, Oviatt apparently leveled it
