10, Mothers day, at the setting of
the sun, the veil was lifted and
Mother passed on from death in
to life. A beautiful ending of a
beautiful Christian life Her home
was shrine-for her children, low
ed ones, neighbors and friends; no
matter how heavy the burden was
on your heart, you always came
away from the Balderson home feel
/ ing that the burden was lifted.
! When very young woman she was
wondrously converted. In speaking
/ of it, she said the room was filed
with a wonderful, beautiful light
and ''that light" shone beautiful
, and bright every day of her life and
through the valley Of the shadow of
death. She told her loved ones that
the veil was soon to be lifted and
she would step across, no doubt, no
fear, just going home. Does it pay
! to be a Christian? Oh, may you her
loved ones, and may we her neigh
bors and friends be as we'll prepared
as she, but let us not mourn, for
There is no death; the stars go
down to rise upon some fairer
shore: And bright in heavens jewel
ed crown, they shine forever more.
CA small tribute to my dear friend
Alice B. Manly.)

she said Before the sun sets the
veil will be lifted, and / will enter
the gates into everlasting bliss,
and SO, just as she had wished
just after the soft rays of the set
ting sun had kissed her beautifaT
home good night and as she lay on
her death bed surrounded by those
she loved better than her life, God
called for her. He said: Mother,
where art thou? And she answer
ed, Here am | Lord, what wilt thou
have me to do. And He said: 1t is
enough, come up higher, this ten
ement of clay is no longer a fit
temple for thee to dwell in. I have
a mansion prepared for thee in
heaven, where there will be no more
sickness and death, no more sorrow
no more weeping, for / will wipe all
tears from your eyes and you shall
dwell with me forever; and He Sent
His holy angels and they waited
mothers happy spirit on their snow
white wings to that beautiful city
above whose builder and makes is
God, and she went to join the holy
angels and that multitude that no
man could number, in singing: De-
liverance has come, safe at home.

how in harmony with her life which
had been as pure and lovely as the
day. She was good and God took
her. CWritten by Mrs. Harry Bal

AUDUBON, N. j., March 5.-A
fancied snub from the high school
hero she adored was believed to-
day to have been the final
blow that drove 16-year-old Bonita

In her death note the girl left
half her possessions to the hoy
hero" A postscript, however, in
dicated her doubt that she was
"in her right mind"
Irony lies in the story of the
fancied snub to Vivian GOrdOn's

less than "a hours before she
went to join her mother in death.
For the author of the snub is
described as Herbert Trout, %.

To PROVE
ASSAULT
Brain Hemorrhage Given as
Cause of Arlene DraVes'
Death During Gary Gin Orgy

VALPARAISO, Ind. March 4
U.N.SO O.-YeSterday's autopsy
of the body of Arlene braves
disclosed no physical evidence
of violence against her. There
was, however, evidence Of a
hemOrrhage Of the brain Suf-
ficient to cause death.
This was the expert testimony
given in Judge Grant Crum-
packers court today by DR..
Joseph B. Springer, of Chicago,
retained by counsel seeking to
save the life of Virgil Kirkland,
charged with Arlene's murder.
DIR. Burcham COntradicted
DR.. Springer was one of the
four physicians who performed a
new post mortem on Arlene'S
body at Reynolds, Ind. His tes-
timony was in direct contradic-
ton to that of DR.. James B.
Burcham, of, Gary, coroner'S
physician. DR.. Burcham, who
performed the original autopsy.
testified there was physical evil
dence through an attack.
Asked if Arlene had been at
tackled, DR.. Springer replied:
T saw no evidence that
force had been used. HemOr-
rhage Of the brain was the dl-
rect cause of death"
Died in Gin Orgy
Arlene died during a gin orgy
in Gary last November 80, after
allegedly being attacked by Kirk
land and four other youth.
Kirkland's counsel for the last
several days have attempted to
show that Arlene did noJ die, as
charged, from an attack by Kirk
lend and four companions. They
have contended that injuries suf-
f5red in a fall caused death.
The first witnesses to be called
today for the defense were the
two physicians who reoreSented
Kirkland at the exhumation, DR..
Joseph D. Springer and DR.. Her
man L. Seipel.
Conclusions reached at the eX-
humation will be checked Friday
when a report is expected rom

Secretary Hurley then outlined
the scope of the investigation,
saying that it is planned to call
as witnesses leaders in the World
War, economists and financjers.
Kirby Is Questioned
Thomas Kirby, legislative chair
man of the Disabled American
Veterans, the first witness, told
the commission that capital and
labor should be subjected to the
same principles of the draft as
were men in the last war.
Representative Ross A. Collins
of Mississippi, questioned the wit
ness on his attitude toward con-
scription of labor, but Secretary
Hurley pointed out that the law
creating the commission says it
shall not consider the conScrip-
ton of labor.
Representative Ceilings asked
the witness how conscription
of capital could be done and Kirby
replied that it could be accom-,
plished by guaranteeing a reason
able return.
Representative Collins re-
marked:
THAT means they could steal
everything in sight, and that
the only men drafted would
still be those in uniform"
Representative John j. Nc
Swain asked whether a plan to
take the profits of war would
serve as a deterrent, and Mr.
Kirby replied he believed this to
be true.
Equal Burdens Urged
Paul C. Wolman. national com,
mander of the Veterans OF For
eign Wars. said:
THE Veterans Of Foreign
Wars believe that the economic
burden of war should fall
equally upon the shoulders of
capital, industry and man
power"

as a witness Newton D. Baker,
who served as Secretary of War
during the World War, Bernard
Baruch, New York financier, and
leaders of other veterans Organi-
