HEARING HELD
On KILLING

CHRIsTIANsBURG, Va, Oct. 2S.
Hearing was given Preston Burton,
Is, before Juvenile Court Judge
Haymaker on charge OF killing
Harry John snider, 13. at Prices
Fork, Montgomery county.
Many witnesses were heard, the
trial lasting all day. -
There was testimony that the
Burton boy was incorrigible, and
his mother told the court that,
while she did not think he killed
Snider deliberately. she could not
control him and thought the wei
fare board should take him.
There was testimony that Bur.
ton had made threats before against
several other people and that ne
and the Snider lad had quarreled
that afternoon before the fatal
shooting.
w. Q. Firth, Blacksburg. Va,
representing the boy, asked a char
acter witness if he knew OF any
thing Burton had done amiss other
than making threats. The witness
replied the lad had tied the tail
of a COW, belonging to his aunt, to
a fence and beat the animal until
it pulled it's tail off, because he was
angry at oral reproof the aunt had
administered. The boy admitted
this on the stand.

in the gay nineties." Experts
figured that the clothing outlay was
divided about half between factory
and custom made garments.
Theaters, flowers and dinners
probably added 81 500, 100000 to the
expense account. In these days
when a bottle of something contra
bandish Is taken on party ratner
than a box of candy the liquor Dill
is no small item on the list OF

of old "papas" too.
Half Spent by Few
The millinery bill wes fixed at
over 100000, 900, hosiery a half
billion. shoes s75O,OOO,OOO. cosmetics
$50 900, 900, with furs. underwear,
sweaters and other knit goods boost
ing the total another S4O0 900, 900 or
$500 900, 900.
A small percent of the 4O,OOO,OOO
however, get away with the bulk
of the money. Probably SOo.oOo
women spend more than half of the
$40 900, 900 900 since only two per-
cent of the population gets enough
to pay government income taxes.
The upkeep of women, especially
in the cities, has grown enormously
since the war. The present genera
ton demands a lot that their grand
mothers never dreamed of, with
resultant fearful increase in the
cost of courtship. and a lot OF en-
tertainment, before and after mar
riaGe that is not akin to cOurtsh1p,
unless it is in the civil courts.
The Washington times., 1929-10-23

Experts. while admitting that an
accurate figure would be impossi.
BILE without exhaustive research,
estimated today that an average of
more than $500 annually, is spent
by each woman over the age OF
14-that represents about 10000, 900
Of the population.
Cost of automobiles, trips to Eu
rope and Reno, bungalows, apart.
ments and other accessories that
keep women in a happy frame of
mind was not included. These items
probably would push the figure up
a few billion more.
Women Good Spenders
At any rate women this year for
their own conveniences and neces
stiles will spend a sum that con
siderably exceeds all the monetary
gold of the world, or American for.
eign trade. American girls proba.

OF other countries.
