SANDER against a young woman

ney, contended Miss Olive Warren
was not slandered when the preach
err distributed handbills which
charged her with drinking, smok-
ing and swearing" and acting in
an affectionate and crazy manner
toward c. C. Kilker, principal Of the
schools at Newburg, where Miss
Warren teaches.
Embittered camps have sprung up
in this locality in three months
since Mr.. Bennett started his evan
geliStic attack upon what he termed
wicked conditions" in the Newburg
schools.
From the stand Miss Warren
strenuously denied the assertions
made by the preacher. Other wit
nesses were questioned closely on
what they understood acting crazy
toward a man" to mean.
Watson in his statement to the
jury, declared that, under modern
morals, drinking and smoking do
not constitute grounds for SANDER.
Most all girls drink and smoke, "
he shouted. "And to act affection
ate and crazy toward a man is no
more than most girls do now at

Not EUen Beans

A big juicy steak with muSh-
rooms and some O'Brien pota-
toes, a toottlsome salad and
delicious dessert, with coffee
topping it off! That's a meal
good enough for any one.
But does every one get it?
The answer is a loud NO. And
the Grundy tariff will make it
certain that many more people
won't get it.
Many thousands Of American
citizens will be lucky If they
get even potatoes and beans.
The tariff makers will see to
that. The rate on potatoes will
soar about so per cent under
the Grundy tariff, which means
that prices naturally will climb.
And the rate on beans will be
nearly double.
One thing is certain. Thou
sands of voters must tighten
their belts and wait for the
November election. Then they
will have their innings.

this tariff steal, write to your

BB United Press
NEW YORK, April 30. 49, The
United Press confirmed from a
trustworthy source today that
child would be born to Mrs. Charles
A. Lindbergh within the next few
weeks.
Mrs. Lindbergh has gone into re-
tirement to await the event. ex-
pected within six weeks. and her
husband now in Panama will be
back in ample time to be present at
the event.
Where Mrs. Lindbergh is staying
was not revealed, but there is reason
to believe she is at the home of her
parents, Ambassador and Mrs.
Dwight w. Morrow, in Englewood,
N. j.
Rumors of the expected child
have required the last two months,
and one of the reasons for the re-
cent record flight of Lindbergh and
his wife from California to New
York was believed to have been
their desire to allow ample time for
Mrs. Lindbergh to rest near the
home of her parents.
Various hospitals here consistent
~ have denied that reservations
have been made for Mrs Lindbergh,
but denials were believed to have
been made only on the insistence Of
the LindberghS that news of the
event should be kept secret.
Views Too Personal
On at least two occasions-before
he left Roosevelt field for his recent
n-American fight and at Miami,
Fla.-the t1ier has declined to an
swer questions on the grounds that
they were too personal"
Today, however, it was definitely
confirmed that the Lindberghs are
anticipating the event.
The wedding Of the quiet, dark
haired daughter of the Morrows and
the youthful aviator who rocketed
to international fame by his flight
to Paris, occurred privately May 81,
1929, at the Englewood home Of the
MOrroWS.
Their romance began in Mexico
City, where Morrow, as American
ambassador, received and enter
tanned Lindbergh on several of the
flier's southern trips.
Anne Not at Dock
Tuesday, when Morrow returned
on the Leviathan from the London
naval conference, it was apparent
he was eager to get to his Engle-
wood home. Tt was also noted that
Mrs. Lindbergh was not present to
greet her father.
During the press conference on
board the city tug Macon, Morrow
sat next to Secretary. Of State Slim
son. He tapped his foot nervously
on floor, f1dgeted in his chair and
declined to discuss any phase of tho
conference or of his forthcoming
campaign for senator in New Jer-
Sey.
After the formal greeting of the
city had been extended, Morrow
did not accompany the other dele
gates to Washington, but went di-
rectly to Englewood, presumably to
spend day with Mrs Lidbergh be-
fore proceeding TO the capital.
