JURY IS SELECTED
in NORMAN Staying
Six Men and Six Women Are
Chosen After Nearly so
Are Dismissed.

Six men and six women were chosen
today to serve on the District Supreme
Court Jury at the first-degree murder
trial of Joseph Henry Diggs, colored
doorman at the Wardman Park Hotel,
charged with killing Attorney William
F. Norman after an argument over
automobile parking space at the hotel
last August II.
The jury was not selected until the
defense exercised all Of its 20 peremp-
tory challenges. The Government chal-
lenged six prospective jurors.
More than score of others were ex-
cused by Justice James M. Proctor be-
cause they were opposed to capital pun
ishment or had formed opinions from
discussing the case or from reading
newspaper accounts.
My Not Take Stand.
E. Russell Kelly and Frank Kelly, de-
fenSe attorneys, said they were unde-
cided whether Diggs would be placed on
the witness stand.
Julian I. Richards, assistant United
States attorney in charge of the prose-
cution, revealed the Government prob
ably would call more than 20 witnesses
in an effort to prove Diggs fired on Nor
man without justification.
Justice Proctor told the jurors they
would not be locked up during the trial.
as Is sometimes found necessary in first
degree murder cases. He warned them,
however, not to discuss the case with
any one.
The quarrel which preceded the
shooting last Sammer was said to have
been of several days standing. Diggs
complained to hotel authorities after
the argument over the parking space,
and two days later, he said, Norman
knocked him down in the hotel corridor
after accusing the colored man of try
ing to make trouble for him at the
hotel. On the following day Diggs is
said to have shot Norman in the back
while the lawyer was standing at the
hotel entrance waiting for his car.
Norman, who formerly was a special
Assistant Attorney General, died an
hour later at Emergency Hospital He
was 43 years old and had lived at the
Wardman Park for five years.
Norman came here from Tennessee in
April, 1920, to accept the post in the
Justice Department, remaining there
until July, 1921. Later he built up a
large legal practice here, handling Gov
eminent claims. He served as captain
Of infantry with the A. E. F..

Debate on Mapes Report and
New Tax Bills Scheduled
Tomorrow.
Continued From First Page.)

Is the most equitable tax that can be
imposed because it is based on ability
TO pay and Is tax that is hard to
evade. More and more this is recog-
nized," he said, "as evidenced by the
increase in the number Of taxing iuris-
dicttons that have provided for tax upcn
incomes.
The committee believes If such a tax
were imposed in the District as a sub
stftute for the present millage tax on
Intangible property it would result in
greater equality in the distribution Of
the tax burden in the District and
would produce substantial amount of
revenue in excess of that now obtained
under the millage tax system Last
year the District received a revenue Of
81 725,941 from the tax imposed on all
intangible property. 1t is our opinion
that If reasonable income tax is
adopted, the amount of revenue OBJ
tanned therefrom will exceed the reve-
nue. from the tax now imposed on in
tangibles by not less than Sl50OOO an
nually and, as has already been said,
the tax will be much more equitably
distributed among the people.
An income tax would reach many
people we'll able to pay some tax to-
ward the support of Government who
now pay no taxes. and it would reach
the income derived from intang.bles,

1, Barbara" Sue let the words slip
 out, not trying to hold them back,
 her eyes and lips laughing. "Oh, good grief Did you think I want
 ed her at the wedding? Jean's a good egg. there didn't seem to
 be anything to do but ask them. l was rather swept away with the idea that you're going to take a chance on me and I wanted every- one to share the celebration. That was all." His voice grew lower, more tender. "Sue, do you know you're sweet?"
 Sue smiled little tremulously. Men could do such foolish things, without the slightest knowledge that they were hurting those they loved. And women could repay them in their own coin with such an obvious intent. Men
 were only small boys, sometimes, who needed a guiding hand. For a minute she felt much older than Jack. Much wiser, although he
 was nearly half a dozen years old CT than she.
 The doorbell started to peal
 with loud clamor as they turned towards the living room. The next second the door opened and Cor rinne came running into the room and threw her arms around Sue. Harry followed, smiling tolerant ly at Corrinne's exhuberance, and took Jacks hand in long, hard pressure. Even then, smothered by a tempestuous Corrinne, Sue sensed how deep and sort of ever lasting the friendship was between the two men.
 Harry and Corrinne, Ted and Sarah. Jimmy and Grace. Jack and Sue. Everything was working out right for everybody.
 Then Harry turned to Sue and
 his eyes were searching her face with a swift, brotherly scrutiny. Sue wondered for feeting second if he was remembering the time when he had thought that he was | in love with her-had been in love with her perhaps, until she had shown him the uselessness of it. Then she drew the cover firmly on the box of souvenirs that the
 mind calls memories. This was
 her wedding day!

She washed the tomatoes, started to peel them and then remembered that was not necessary. Cutting out the stem end was the only preparation, besides slicing, that was needed.
 She lined a pie plate with crust, put in three cups of sliced tomato, one and one-third cups sugar. a few grains salt, one-quarter cup lemon juice and one tablespoon grated lemon rind. A small pinch of ginger and a quarter cup butter cut into bits completed the in- gradients.
 She put the top pie crust on and baked the pie for forty minutes. She started with hot oven, kept the temperature up for ten min- utes and then reduced the temper ature for the remaining half hour of baking.

Her lunch hour was from 11:30 until 12:30. She worked until five, dined at an in- expensive restaurant and rode back to the rooming house on the street car.
 Occasionally she spent an even- ing with Chris. Twice Dorothy joined them and all three went to a motion picture theater. Norma knew she was not good company for the others and preferred to be alone. She could think of Mark when she was alone, plan for the glorious time when he would be back again.

 She spent hours composing care- fully worded letters which she mailed to his business address Scrupulously in these letters she avoided mention of how she was spending the time. She said noth- ing about Marks parents, yet gave no hint that she was not with them. She wrote Mark that she missed him. that she was eager to hear all he had been doing, impa- ttent for his return.
 The letters for her had reached Marks fathers home she never for a moment doubted. It was harder for her because she could not re- ceive those letetrs and yet she had brought this on herself.

Jack was surprised when Sue asked Dr Barnes to come to the wedding. But his voice was court eous and cordial. After all, Sue sensed, Jack knew that there was no reason for him to refuse to urge the invitation. Sue was marrying him, not the other man. But she was sorry that she had invited the young dentist.
 When he refused on the grounds of appointments that couldn't be cancelled, Sue was relieved.
 But Jack turned to her and caught her swiftly by the shoul- ders and looked deep into her eyes as Dr Barnes left. Then he laughed, and kissed her on the red, curved lips.

Joan knew that her aunt Nancy was not feeling as energetic as usual and tried in her little way to be helpful. But sometimes she did queer things. For instance, one day she brought in a whole basket of green tomatoes. "I thought I'd pick these tomatoes Aunt Nancy and save you the work" she an- nounced confidently.
 Nancy was at sea for a minute She had intended to pick those to- matoes later when they were nearer ripe and after wrapping them carefully put them away for winter use. But here they were, and here was Joan, thinking she had been helpful.
 Thank you, Joan. I am sure that Uncle Peter will like what am going to make. It's a green tomato pie." Nancy could have used them green tomatoes in to- mato mince meat but the making of mince meat seemed too much of an undertaking.

Most women like autumn and winter a great deal more than they do spring and summer. They look and feel smarter in the gay-colored sheer woolen dresses for sports, street and office wear than in the prints, silks and chiffonS of sum- mer. Evening dresses of soft chif- ion velvet and satin are much more flatering than the wispy chiffon prints of summer. It's exciting and collaborating to replenish the ward robe with fall and winter clothes, and one takes more interest in the whole business of shopping and go- ing to the dresmaker's.
 The makeup and cosmetic sup ply will have to be replenished, too. You nede more creams, fewer astringents, less rouge and more lipstick. Winter dries your skin more than summer. Each time you come in out of the cool Git may even be cold) air, cleanse your face with cream and then don't make it up again immedi- ately. i've it a chance to breathe. Unless your skin is naturally ex- tremely oily, you won't need to use an astringent more than two or three times a week during the cold months.
 In summer, when your face Is inclined to be slightly damp most of the time, rouge quickly disap- pears. Hence, you apply it oftener and more generously.
 A coat of tan looked smart ir contrast to the white and pastel shades you wore at the resort but it won't look smart a tall if you show up at a formal dinner with arms and shoulders that aren't white and smooth to complement your new velvet evening gown Use a bleaching cream until youl skin is creamy, soft and white once again.

About half the world is i'll from poor posture, so don't allow the children to grow up with the pill habit, trying to force the organs to do the work they would only be too glad to do if given half a chance.
 Look the children over some day and make some notes. Is that lit- tie chest caved in, tired looking, all swallowed up between two ag- gressive shoulder blades thht should be back where they belong and not infringing on lung terri tory?
 Is that small abdomen marching on ahead of it's owner like the paunch of a King George burgo- master?
 Where is Jerome's backbone? Take a relief view of it and see the waistline and showing the ab- the waistline does it suddenly owner a decidedly hippy look? And up between the shoulders where the neck sits on, does it do an- other forward pass, pushing the head forward and the chin down on the chest?
 It sounds bad, all this, but if you discover the particular back bone you are observing doing any such roller-caosting it will look worse than it sounds. And isn't it something to think about that al- most one out of every four or five children are this way?
 stand up, Jerome! Stand straight, Rosalind!" Back go the wings and up go the small chins, for about six seconds, then slump! -the backbones are at it again, doing that hill and dale act all over again.
 To tell the truth. drawing the shoulders back doesn't do much good unless the whole posture is changed with it. The lungs open up for a minute and that's about all. The way to get child to stand straight is to line him up against a wall as the soldiers do not to shoot him, but to get the pelvic bones drawn forward. Wher they are forward, the abdomen re. treats, the hippy look disappears the shoulders and head touch the l flat surface.
 | Now look at Jerome and Rosa. lind-their chins up, their shoul. ders in nice natural position, not trussed back artifically like roast chickens, their stomachs flat! Try to get a picture of the interior o1 their small torsos. Lungs with space to. spread, stomach and in- testines in place so that muscles can tighten and strengthen. Peris- talsis will have a chance now-not so many physics. Liiver, gall bladder, kidneys-nothing crowd ed, nothing pulled out of place Isn't it better?
