Atocy t't@NsAAAAA6 SOsasJ
 There are two schools of thought as to the political consequences of a Walker case postponement in New York.
 The remark heard most often among politicians is that the in- tervention of the courts possibly delaying final action until after the election, bids fair to rescue Gov. Franklin ID. Roosevelt from the necessity of making one of the most difficult decisions ever faced by a Presidential nominee.
 There are astute politicians who do not agree. They see the Gov ernor losing the great advantage they believe he would have gained from a forceful, clear-cut decision, at once removing Mayor Walker from office if the evidence war rants and laying down a ringing challenge to Tammany.

KIDNAPPING OF LINDBERCH
BABY STIRS WHOLE WORLD
No Crime in Modern History Has Aroused
Such Universal Indignation-Tops
Long List of Abductions.

No crime in recent history so
aroused the entire American public
as the kidnapping of the young son
of Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh.
Little Charles Augustus, Jr., is the
nations baby. He is national char
acter and has been since the day he
was born. His abduction was das-
tardly crime resented by every red
blooded American, grown-ups and chill
dren alike.
Every parent grieved with the
stricken father and mother. They
knew the anguish they endured. They
could feel the heart throbs and the
immeasurable grief. They could re-
alize what the finding of that empty
crib meant to the grief-stricken par
ents. They knew the darkness that
settled over Colonel and Mrs. Lind
bergh as they viewed the dirty foot
tracks left by the Williams, and the lad
that told so vividly the fate that had
befallen their young son. 1t is one
great American heart that grieved
with those grief-stricken parents.
A little delicate child, only twenty
months of age, had been dragged from
the affectionate embrace of his par
ents, from the tender care with which
he had been surrounded, and spirited
away into the foul hands of the most
detestible type of criminals. There was
no more touching incident of the whole
dastardly affair than the pathetic ap-
peal of the mother to the kidnapers to
feed her sick baby properly. 1t was
addressed by Mrs. Lindbergh to the
The Ely miner., 1932-03-18

I the criminals was, of course, on the
part of local police near the Lind
bergh home in New Jersey.
Through the agency Of the teletype
the alarm reached the police of New
York, Newark, Jersey City, Elizabeth,
| Camden, and Philadelphia within q
few minutes Of the receipt Of the first
news at Trenton. All of them quickly
swung into action, as did the New
York and Pennsylvania state police.
Orders were flashed to every pre-
cinct by the police telegraph system
to be on the alert for suspicious cars,
while the new police radio station
WPEG flashed word to the short wave
station of the patroiling detective cars
to join in the watch.
Similar steps, though on a smaller
scale, were being repeated simultane-
ously in every city for many miles
around the Lindbergh home. Posses
Of motorcycle and bandit squad police
men from Philadelphia, Pa, and New
Jersey state troopers, clamped down
heavy guard on every bridge over
the Delaware river.
But the circle of activity soon wild
ened beyond state borders. Within
| few hours the news reached Wash
ington, the full cooperation of the
federal government In hunting down
the kidnapers was offered to the New
| Jersey state authorities. Attorney
General William d. Mitchell hurried
to the White House for conference
with President Hoover and immedi-
ately afterwards the Department Of
| Justice announced that every agency
of the department would cooperate
| to the utmost with the state authori-
| ties.
Following a second conference be-
tween the President and his attorney
general, it was announced that the
government had placed its prohibition
enforcement officers as well as all of
| the other department of justice agents
on the case. All agents in the eastern
| section of the country, acting under

I UNBELIEVABLE as it may seem,
- there are many women who at
this day and age still expect magic
and miracles. Intelligent women too.
A well-written letter from one. a per-
sOnal visit from another, telephone
call from a third. All in the same
vein. The first has used tissue

either with the preparation itself or
with your reaction to it.
But two full weeks" it would be
utopian indeed If double chin and
dropping contour (Which probably
took years to reach the sagging stage)
were to be magically lifted in so short
time by the use of an astringent.
Plastic surgery could do it in that
length of time, but plastic surgery
is for the very brave and very rich.
And the subject of our discussion is an
astringent.
Another instance: Really, have
exercised faithfully every single
night, followed every one of your
bending exercises for the waist, but

Perhaps with patience and per-
sistence that "spare" will disappear
as gradually as it accumulated
and perhaps, too, you will as sud-
denly notice that it is no more.
Day after day and very Likely
month after month the fat cells
were forming. And I'm willing to
wager (something never do) that

Surround Yourself With
Beauty

AN INTERIOR decorator and a
\ beauty specialist were having
luncheon together. Said the interior
decorator: Beauty editors, lecturers,
and specialists are to be congratulated,
for their preachings are largely re-
sponsible for the raised standards In
feminine loveliness. Buff you don't
mind my saying so-speaking from a
selfish point of view, l don't think
that feminine beauty has been linked
sufficiently with interior decoration.
You emphasize a hat as part of
the picture and fashion is made a
co-partner to beauty. But woman
chooses a sofa and hangings for her
home with a very impersonal attitude.
If her clothes are an important part OF
the picture she presents, isn't she just
as important a part of her home"
She confided that several smart
women had sent their sisters or maids
to select fabrics for the formers dress
ing rooms. that personal coloring and
temperament was not considered and
their own individuality neither ex-
pressed nor fiattered.
All of which is a rather sad but
true state of affairs. Surround
yourself with beauty-and let your
surroundings express YOU, en-
hance your charm and reflect your
individuality"
Haven't you heard rebelliOus
young one threatening, "Wait until ]
have my own place, it will be some
thing different, more expressive" And,
10, when opportunity did knock-well,
IL it wasn't the same. stereOtyped, set
order of affairs. The same sort of
furniture. a bit newer, of course; the
same color scheme, arrangements, ac-
cessories.
Study your coloring and know what
colors and shades are most becoming
to you. 1t is impossible to give list of
definite suggestions because of the in
finite variety of shades and intensity.
But a general color knowledge is in
herent, think. Breathes there a red
head who didn't know when she was
year old that green is the most en-
chanting color for her. And aren't
our blue-eyed babies told long before
they can say dada, that they should
wear blue to bring out all the depth
of their eyes.
In the matter of colors, let fashion
guide you.
Now, just one word of warning with
respect to lines. Avoid extremes.
Modern, harsh lines may have def
mite dash, but only the dashing exotic
type seems to belong" and be at home
with them. Make your home setting
for your beauty and surround yourself
with fattering and enhancing acces-
sories expressive Of all that Is YOU In

been struck American motherhood,
est of all agonies-fear for the safety
and life of the child she had borne,
and not one Of them but said in her
heart "What If it had been MY
baby?'
1t is no exaggeration to say that
1OO,000,000 Americans Immediately
formed themselves into a searching
party, in spirit if not in body, with
the sole purpose of restoring the Lind
bergh baby in safety as soon as possi-
BILE to his mothers arms. From the
highest to the most lowly, news of
the Lindbergh kidnapping was the all
important topic.
1t is not often that a President of
the United States puts from his mind
even for little while momentous af-
fairs of state because of concern over
what has happened to some individ-
ual. But that is exactly what hap
pened in this case. Herbert Hoover.
in the midst of pondering over the
solution of pressing national and in
ternational problems, forgot for the
moment that he was Chief Executive
of nation and remembered only that
he was an American father. So he
gave orders that he was to be kept
informed of the latest developments
in the case no matter at what hour
of the night the news should arrive
at the White House.

was true of other high government Of

kidnapers of her son and broadcast
through the press Of the nation. In
1t she said:
ITO the kidnaper of the Lindbergh
baby:
Here is a heartbroken appeal d.
rect from the mother of the child you
stole.
"The baby has been sick and its re-
covery may depend on the treatment
1t gets from you. You must be espe-
cially careful about the diet.
Mrs. Lindbergh issued to the press
today the strict diet she has been fol-
lowing since the baby fell i'll. She did
this in the hope you might read this
story and that there was some spark
of humanity even in the heart of a
baby thief.
Here is the diet, accompanied by
the fervent prayer of a grieving
mother:
Zone quart of milk during the day.
Three tablespoons of cooked cereal
morning and night.
lone yolk of egg daily.
Zone baked potato or rice once a
day.
Two tablespoons of stewed fruit
daily.
Half cup of orange juice on wax
ing.
Half cup Of prune juice after
the afternoon nap.
"And fourteen drops of medicine
called viosterol during the day.
That's all, kidnaper of the Lind
bergh baby. That's what the baby's
mother wants you to give the boy.
Follow her request and you may in
some small part redeem yourself in
the eyes of a contemptuous world"
The fathers of the nation in spirit
tramped with Colonel Lindbergh the
woods about the large estate, search
ing with him for clews that would
lead to the recovery of the stolen
child. In spirit they repeated his
prayers and his curses. To the moth
ers Of the nation the abduction was a
real. personal tragedy. Not one of
them but felt with Anne Morrow Lind

New York and Philadelphia, were in
structed to be on the lookout for
suspicious characters. Between these
two offices the states Of New York.
Pennsylvania. Delawawe, New Jersey
and Connecticut, were Immediately
covered with a network of investiga-
tion by the most skillful sleuths in
the service of the United States.
Although kidnapping is a state rath-
er than a federal offense, the United
States government officials had justi-
,fication for entering the case because
of the possibility that the kidnapers
might have violated some other fed
eral statute. But one immediate re-
suit of this abduction was to cause
a widespread demand for speeding
action on bills then before congress
making kidnapping federal offense.
One of them by Senator Roscoe c.
Patterson Of Missouri makes the
transportation of a kidnapped person
across a state boundary an offense
punishable by death. Another by
Representative John ]. Cochran of
Missouri makes kidnapping federal
Offense if state boundaries are crossed
and still third bill makes use of
the mails in kidnapping cases federal
crime punishable by maximum OF
20 years Imprisonment. Not only was
legislation to curb this crime the chief
topic In the national legislative hall,
but state legislatures began taking
measures to increase the state pen
alties for abduction.
But more striking than the immedi-
ate action taken by the constituted
authorities of the law for dealing
with the criminals who had stolen
away the Lindbergh baby was the
instantaneous reaction of private in
dividuals everywhere to the crime. 1t
is doubtful If ever before in the his
tory of America have so many mil
lions of her citizens felt the personal
obligation to aid in gigantic man
hunt-in spirit if not in reality.
Aviators, who had been buddies of
the famous flying colonel, Immediately
placed themselves and their planes
at his disposal to aid in the search.
Thousands of amateur detectives were
busily engaged in watching for "clews"
which might aid the authorities in
catching the malefactorS. In New
York the clergy of three religious de-
nominations joined in broadcasting
prayer for the safe and speedy re-
turn of the Lindbergh baby-a prayer
NIB; ;y, no hoo of
millions.
Nor was the excitement over the
case confined to the borders of the
United States. In far-off China, the
kidnapping was told in big headlines
alongside the news of the Chinese
defeat on the Chapei-Woosung bat
tlefront. The French press, to which
Colonel Lindbergh has been hero
since his conquest of the Atlantic in
1926, was filled with the story of the
crime. Germany forgot for moment
it's heated political atmosphere aris-
ing from the presidential election cam
paign and was swept by wave OF
sympathy for the parents of the lost
baby. All Berlin newspapers pub
lished the kidnapping on their front
pages, along with numerous photo
graphs, an extraordinary occurrence
in that country, where political is
sues invariably occupy all available
front-page space, even when an elec-
ton campaign is not in progress.
England's anxiety over the fate OF
the little boy was nearly as keen as
Americas. The news Of the abduc-
ton caused a sensation in Mexico
