Frequently in murder trials the
question is raised whether the ac-
cused can distinguish between
right and wrong"
Many people pooh pooh that
question. They say, ''Of course
he can tell the difference between
right and wrong. Look how bright
he is"
That was what they said when
Clarence Darrow contended that
Leopold and Loeb could not tell
the difference between right and
wrong. Darrow did not deny their
brightness, but he did point out
something which the average citi'
zen is apt to overlook

Leopold and Loeb could think
with remarkable brilliancy, but
they couldn't feel as normal young
men should feel. - they could
have felt normally, it would have
been impossible for them to have
committed their revolving crime.

THEY DIDN'T HIT ON ALL SIX.
Bad physical conditions may

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland
These Modern Lovers

These Modern Lovers
VOU are not real celebrity until
the fact that you get along
peaceably with your husband or
wife is news"
A mans most striking achieve
ment these days consists in max
ing a fortune; a woman's, in max.
ing a man who has made q for
tune.
Certainly, the modern girl has
the right to ask a man to marry
her. But unless you are the kind
of woman who can TELL a man
to do things and get away with it,
don't mention the subject. ASK
ING man to do anything just in
spires him to show you that he
won't.
The eyes are the windows Of the
soul-ard sometimes when you
look at the mascara clinging to
them you wish that somebody
would wash the windows.
Here and there Sou will still
meet a man who can put more
high.pressure thrill into a little
gesture, like touching your finger
tips or placing your wrap around
your shoulders than others can
into five-minute kiss.
You just can't keep up with
these modern women. Now, one
of them says that if job inter
feres with domesticity let the hus-
band give up his job.
The shiek and the caveman
make awfully good stage lovers,
but as husbands they are not even
good lovers. Just false alarms.
A woman doesn't want to be the
first and only girl a man ever
loved; she wants to be the one who
made him stop loving all the
others.
Mans most exciting pastime is
hunting big game-woman is
hunting new apartments or early
American furniture.

Winning Designs From 80 Regional
Prizes During Coming Week.

that are at once informal and good to
look upon. The high excellence OF
architecture and the practical planning
of these designs shows the advantage to
realtors, builders and home owners of
employing architectural service if valuss
are TO endure, particularly during this
era of change when the design of the
houses built five or ten years hence may
be a radical departure from the types
long popular. Surveying the prize VIM
ming and mention designs it is evident
that were they all built in community
by themselves the effect would be gen.
orally Harmonious and yet each one
would have distinct individuality. Ac-
cording to our present viewpoint this
would be an ideal suburban community
no matter in what section of the coun-
try it was created.
Competition conditions called for
houses of two sizes. The type "A"
house, having three bedrooms. was linn
tied to $1,000 cubic feet, while the type
"B" house, having four bedrooms, was
limited to $1,000 cubic feet, with GER
tain extra allowances. 1t is significant
that the great preponderance CT win
ming and mention designs were for
houses of class "A" type. This would
seem to prove that our present day
architects and designers are very COM
petent to handle the small home. and
in fact when given the option of de-
signing a small or large house. show
much greater interest, ingenuity and
skill in handling the house of more re-
stricted size. This is IN decided con-
trast to the generally accepted assump-
ton that our architects prefer to design
the large house rather than one of more
modest proportions"

Hidden Porch at Rear
Screens Family From
Adjoining Houses.
THREE FIREPLACES
FEATURE BUILDING
Cost Is Kept Down Through
Centralized System Used
in Plumbing.
BY L. PORTER MOORE,

President, Home owners Institute, Inc.
Here is a truly unusual plan, desirable
for several features beside pleasing
architecture, fireproof construction and
practical layout. One of these is a
terrace and porch at the rear. a vantage
point from which the garden may be
enjoyed while family and friends sip
afternoon tea or after-dinner coffee.
This porch, invisible from street and
screened by wall at the left, will be
charming indeed.
Three fireplaces form another of
these features. For many the glow
ing hearth typifies the Joy of home
ownership; in this interesting house
living room, dining room and masters
chamber has each its open fire.
Yet another feature is the privacy
gained by placement Of windows even
when nearby houses are close; a mini
mum of side windows are used with
large glass areas at front and rear.
Finally, a 50-foot lot would accompo-
date the 35foot frontage. Not to be
overlooked is the fact tnat all plumb
ing has been grouped at the right of
the house, bath being directly over
kitchen: such planning reduces build
ing costs.
These distinguishing features were
largely responsible fer the selection of
this six-room design as one of the five
winners zone family home class in
the 1928 Detroit Free Press better
homes competition. This plan was
later constructed as Detroit Free
Press model home. David D. DENNY,
architect, of Harrisburg, Pa. designed
the house, which is shown as plan No

white form the walls. Limestone fac
ing could be substituted for the block:
The neutral gray shingle Is suggested
for the roof. Cast stone trim frames
openings. Entry door of solid oak
has loaded glass light.
Coat closet and lavatory are just
within the front door. Living room,
IS by 10 feet, has built-in bookcases
at each side of the fireplace. A bank
of four loaded glass easement win
dows welcome fresh air and sunshine
Cases with glass doors flank dining
room hearth. In this room tripllcate
easements open at rear and side, over
looking the garden.
The long, narrow kitchen has double
drainboard sink under the window.
Space for cabinet or folding dining
furniture is available between range
and dining room door. There Is room
in the basement for a billiard room
beside space for heater and laundry.
Masters room is far removed from
noise and dust of street; 1t is con-
venient to the bath, and has good
closet SPACE and light as we'll as the
open fire. Smaller bedroom will prob
ably serve as a guest chamber or sew
ing room, while the children will oc-
cupy the large front chamber. Attic
storage space is available both over
living room and sleeping rooms. The
house contains 25,523 cubic feet OF
space. It can be built for between
$4,000 and $4,000 or less.

Records of Scheme Which

Seized.

BU GnUe0 PTeSS
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 18.-
Another black satchel, which may
rival the black bag aof Teapot Dome
fame in public interest, is being held
by A. D. Walton, United States dis
trict attorney, today. The satchel
the property Of C. D. Waggoner,
Telluride (Colo.) banker, is said to
contain complete record of Wag-
goners 100000 swindle scheme
against New York banks.
Walton said he obtained the
satchel from Miss Margaret R.
Jones, Cheyenne school teacher and
niece of Waggoner.
Miss Jones, now en- route to New
York, where she will be questioned
by a federal grand jury, told Wal
ton that Waggoner had given her
the bag Ito keep for him" two
weeks ago.
Walton refused to divulge con-
tents of the papers.
1t also was understood here that
two sisters of Waggoner, whose
names were not made known, would
be called to New York to testify.
The grand jury in New York
learned Waggoner turned over his
property to relatives last June.
Meantime, the Main street bank
er" remained in jail here pending
removal proceedings. 'Waggoner's at
torney said his client would offer no
resistance to extradition proceedings,
provided he is given speedy trial

One of the best programs that 1t
will be the good fortune of the radio
listener to hear was put on Tues
Gay night during the dedication
ceremonies from WMAQ at Chi
cago. The occasion was the open
ing of the new studios Of this
station and the artist, Albert
Spaulding, violinist.
Spaulding is an artist whose name
is familiar in all parts of the world
as one of the masters of the violin,
and for that reason is seldom heard
in concert outside the great centers
Of population
What a treat it must have been
for the countless thousands
throughout the country, who have
the appreciation of good music to
enjoy an artist like Spaulding, but
seldom if ever have the chance to
hear such artists in person.
The program was heard over an
Atwater- Kent, model Sc receiver.
One of the most noted of all
symphonic poems was played Tues
day night by the United Symphony
orchestra over the Columbia system.
The selection was the 'L'Apprenti-
