pect and reports of threats on

The suspect, David Saubert. 81,
was arrested on an anonymous
telephone tip. He denied all
knowledge Of the killing, saying
he spent Saturday night, when
the crime was committed, in the
company of Leona Drobney.
Police planned to question the
girl.
Another interview with the
young bandmaster's brunette
widow was sought by, investigat-
ors concerning information sup
piled by an unnamed youth to
the effect that Mrs. Schildhauer,
the day after her husband was
killed, spoke of threats which he
had been receiving.
The boy told police he and his
father had visited the widow to
offer their condolences and she
had told them her husband was
the recipient of threats for two
weeks before he was seized in

SOME "coLD" FACTS .

1t is estimated that one out of every four
persons is a Susceptible. Approx
mately 80 million Americans belong to
this group.
Indoor workers. as q group. rate high as
ColdS7Susceptibles. For instance, office
workers have nine times as many colds as
taxi drivers and four times as many as
soldiers.
Children as a class are particularly Sus-
ceptible to colds. Thousands are absent
from school from three days to three
weeks each year because of colds.
Probably the greatest damage done by
colds is that they so often lead to more
serious complications.
Colds -Susceptibles body resistance
lowered by frequent colds-are an easier
prey for flu, bronchitis, pneumonia, and

UNCERTAINTY
DELAYS BOON,
SAYS RAND
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN


ST. LOUIS, Dec. IA UN.SJ.
''Uncertainty concerning the
future" is the principal factor
holding up economic recovery, in
the opinion of one of the coun-
try's leading shoe men-Frank C.
Rand, chairman of the board of
the International Shoe Company.
Interviewed here today, Rand,
in citing "the high cost of un-
certainty" pointed out that this
condition has led merchants, for
example, to buy shoes on a "hand-
to-mouth" scale, purchasing just
enough for immediate require
ments.
Harder to Fill
And, according to Rand, it is
more expensive to fill a large
number of small orders than a
few big orders calling for the
same volume of merchandise.
People of the United States,
he. revealed, are not buying as
many shoes per person as years
ago. He attributed this to the
automobile and other factors,
which have displaced man power.
The shoe industry, however, is
on its toes, so to speak, ready to
move forward with other lines.
Money Crop"
Discussing the recent trend Of
the shoe business, Rand said a
dull period was experienced in
June and July and for the first
10 days of August. Then buSi-
ness picked up sharply, due to
Government report indicating a
small cotton crop.
Rand is hopeful for an i'm
>provement in the condition of
the cotton belt farmers. He
referred to cotton as "the money
crop" as it gives the farmers
money to spend, as contrasted
with other crops.

WINTER
By d. C. PEATTIE.

IF you want to know what Betelgeuse
is, and who and where. go out, II
it's clear, and face the south, about
/ 9 o'clock You will have in the SKY
that mighty huntsman, Orion, the
grandest constellation in the heavens
except the Big Dipper (or Great Bear,
or Plough, or King Charles Vain or
whatever you prefer to call 1t; II you
want to be very astronomical. call II
Ursus Major. Orion Is unmlstaKaDly
known by the three brilliant jewels IN
the belt. And Betelgeuse is the red
dish, bright star that would represent
the head of Orion.
This red giant of a sun has diane
ter 300 times that of our sun. II Be-
telgeuse stood where our sun stands,
our earth would be inside its furnaces.
However, the weight of 'Betelgeuse Is
not much greater than that OF many
much smaller stars. This means that
all stars have roughly the same amount
of matter in them, only some are con-
denSed, others expanded TIL their par
ticles are further apart than in the
most rarefied air on the top OF the
highest mountain. In this expanded
state. they are often red in color, and
as we know from watching piece OF
iron, red represents a low stage Of
heat. Perhaps, then. the great bubble
of Betelgeuse is blown almost to its
limit, its heat almost radiated away.
What will be its fate. when at last
the heat is all gone? There Is not per-
feet agreement on this, for some hold
that the universe is contracting. and
as the fuel material Of stars is burned
up. the size Of the stars must be
shrinking. But suppose that Betel-
guese has expanded and is cooling Off
Its ultimate fate should be a cold, inert
mass, without any heat, and tremend-
ously expanded.
Telescopes reveal what are called
empty places in the sky but probably
they are clouds of dark. dead matter
which hide the stars beyond them.
Other stars on their courses, sometimes
run into these murky masses, and the
friction causes tremendous confla-
grafton in the sky, visible as suddenly
bright stars to the naked eye. Or are
they matter in primeval chaos, not
yet worked up" into light and heat?
If only few vital questions about
Betelgeuse could be answered, we would
have answered the riddle of the nature
of matter and space. and we might be
able to divine the fate of life. But we
gaze in vain at the lovely red gem
burning on Orion's dark forehead.

Everyday Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
When the Mind Hardens.

We know all too little about the psy-
chology of life between 40 and CO. The
vast majority of our psychological in
veStigations have been devoted to an
understanding of youth. What we need,
perhaps more than ever these days. is
better understanding of adults. I have
for some years contended that the prime
of life is the really dangerous period.
Which fits our changing world better.
faulty notions or set notions? Which
of these two classes of notions is likely
to cause the greater disturbance in the
home. in the pulpit, in the school. in
the courts of law, in the halls of Con-
gress? These are the places where
youth and age come together. And
these constant comingS together
sharpen the insight of the youngsters.
The most universal remark of youth
concerning an adult is: Set in his
way"
Young persons not only guess right,
but they soon learn how to manipulate
these set ways" At the same time the
adult congratulates himself on his own
wisdom and skill In getting on with
youth.

THAT BODY OF YOURS
DIR. JAMES W. BARTON, NJ. ID.

found in the intestines, where they ap-
pear to have some helpful use.
If, then. disease comes to us we must
ask ourselves, rs this due to the force
of the attack, or to the weakness OF the
body's defenses?"
In other words. while it is good
sense to attack the invading organisms
by using antiSeptic mouth washes. pas
teurizing milk and taking other pre-
cautions, nevertheless there may be
conditions inside the body itself that
so weaken it that harmful organisms
already present, are able to do some
damage.
What are the forces within the body
that weaken it against these harmful
organisms?
Although DR.. Seccombe speaks Of
only ore condition, eating the wrong
foods, particularly too much starchy
food there are two other weaknesses
that may be present, namely, insufn-
cient sleep and insufficient outdoor ex-
ercise
Just as the three factors-good food,
prorer rest and outdoor eXerciSe-can
build up the forces of the body, so can
neglect OF these three factors break
down resistance to invading organisms
In addition to these three factors. you
should be overhauled by your family
physician once YEAR and your dentist
twice year, so that no defect may go
undetected.
In this way YOU have the satisfactory
feeling that you are keeping the forces
within your body in the best possible
shape to prevent organisms attacking
you, or. should they gain an entrance,
your health forces can prevent their
making serious headway.
