CRIME ORDEAL

SAN JOSE, Cal, June 16
G.NSO.-Another page of great
murder mystery-the Lamson
case-was to be turned here late
this afternoon in a tiny, stuffy
courtroom Of a justice Of the
peace, in an ancient, worn court
house.
David A. Lamson, 30-year-old
Stanford University Publishing
House executive, made ready for
his second day before a justice Of
the peace, who is conducting the
university mans preliminary hear
ing on charges that he killed his
beautiful young wife, Allene
Thorpe Lamson.
Yesterdays court session re-
vealed nothing to connect LamSon
directly with the murder of Mrs.
Lamson, whose body, with head
bludgeoned, was found in the
bath tub of the Lamson's Stan

Day.
But it did establish one point
that Mrs. Lamson, secretary OF
the Stanford Y. w. C. A. and a
former toast of the campus, was
slain.

position and er acute desire for
some form of currency stabiIiza-
tion was thrown into sharp relief

injurious" deals in foreign cur
rencieS and securities in Great

courage individuals from such
practices with every means in
your power"

tightly clamped. Hands joined.
Eyes fixed on the witness box
fixed with long, steady, almost
hypnotic gaze. Hour after hour

This is David A. LamSon de-
Tending himself against tn e
charge of numbering his wife,

courtroom of Justice Grandin H.

less as the tragic and terrible
drama of Allene Thorpe Lamson'S
murder was reenacted.

Only once did Lamson unclasp
his small, well-made hands. When
the x-rays of his dead wife's head
were produced, he ran his palm
quickly across his forehead and
for a moment closed his eyes.
Then he turned his glance di-
rectly on DR.. Robert A. Wilbur's
face. His eyes have an uncanny
fixity Stra nge, disturbing
power.
The grim scenes move with ex-
citing precision. Crowds jam the
jail yard-colorful, pop-eyed with
interest.

Would she? Laura was so

A LII boys and girls who make model arp,anes
are familiar with balsa the lightest and
one of the most remarkable of all woods
Balsa is found almost everywhere in the
tropics, but most of that used in this country
comes from Ecuador. The trees have rather
smooth bark and large broad leaves and they
grow as high 80 feet. The trunks are from
80 to 36 inches in diameter. Only trees less
than five years old are cut because in them
the honeycomb-like cell structure is still thin
and very light.
Floating in the water, balsa can support
about 10 times its own weight. It Is four times
light as pine, yet it is half as strong as good
spruce.
Balsa was first used commercially about 20
years ago. and was then very expensive. It
was widely used during the World War for life
RATS on Army transports and to make supply
cases that would keep their contents afloat
when dropped into flooded shell holes.
When airplanes began to carry passengers
after the war. balsa proved invaluable 1t IS
now used on air transports for interior finish
ing. for furniture and for many other purposes.
As it grew cheaper in price, it was adapted for
many other uses such as for the interiors OF
high-speed yachts for quieting heavy ma
chinery and for soundproof booths in motion
picture studios.
Besides all this it furnishes the material
with which thousands of young aviation en-
thusiasts experiment In model planes.
