It was said the 130th Infantry

So long as they had only to

NEW YORK, July 13 0NSD.
Now that bullet has ended the
life of young Reynolds and turned
his marriage with Libby Holman
into a sensational "shocker," the
world is asking their friends what
manner of people this girl and
this boy were, and their friends
are speaking out to slander or
defend them.
Libby Holman was utterly a
Broadway type-the kind that
would fascinate Smith Reynolds.
Ready for Anything
But Libby was no menace. She
was a clever artist and a show
girl. A handsome college girl
transplanted from the Middle
West to Broadway, ready to try
anything once.
And Smith Reynolds. . what do
they say about the dead youth?
The boy who at 20 has been heir
to millions, married twice, become
father, been divorced, sported
with death in the air, been
haunted by fears of insanity, and
been murdered by a crazy shot
in the dark.
Smith Reynolds had everything
an unsophisticate could long for,
yet he was tortured by despair
and a desire for death.
What a setting for tragedy!
What a story to tell of warped

Libby Holman Reynolds child is

estate of it's posthumous father,
young Smith Reynolds.
The prospects of another heir
to the vast fortune left in trust
to young Reynolds and any
child Giving" at the time OF
his death threatens to involve
the estate in a legal battle.
There is another child, two.year-
old Ann Cannon Reynolds,
daughter of Reynolds first mar
riage to Ann Cannon. heireSs
of Joe Cannon. manufacturer.
Smith and Ann were divorced
last year.
The provisions of the trust
fund specifically state that the
children inheriting from young
Reynolds must be living at the
time of his death.
This, however, according to va
rious authorities consulted on the
subject, would not bar the pros
pcctive second child from its
right.
According to a former Supreme
Court Justice, a child is consid
cred alive from the moment ii
is conceived, providing it is sub
sequently born alive. If still born
it is considered never to have
lived.
There can be no legal ques,
tion of the child's legitimacy.

The fellow himself isn't even a
tom, the problem.
Discretion in terminology IS to be
urged first.
America must keep faith with the
transient American youth. He still has
his staunch faith in existing American
institutions and humanity.
Individuals must be the medium
through which he is reached and held
to his faith.

Carr fed the youths who slept in the

she made them think they were pay

Needs Understanding.
AS he marks time, the young tram
sient's imperative need is understand
ing-that of fortnight companionShip
and decent conversation. His reactions
to these are instantaneous and lasting.
In the long run dollars and cents falls
secondary in importance before uphold
ing of faith.
The young transient isn't going to be
saved: he is going to be absorbed. He
is going to be absorbed through the
efforts and the friendliness of the higher
type of individuals with whom he comes
in contact
If for the moment the young fellow
meets only the lower or lowest type of
humanity, that must be looked upon as
in great part the fault of society. He
has strength of character. His IS a
temporary mode of life. One travels
with him and finds that he is not a
part of the life he leads.
