Both archeologists and citizens OF
the County of York. England. are per-
turbed by the apparent fate that awaits
one Of their most historic monuments
the range of buildings known as York
Castle
Some of the buildings were used as
military barracks until few years
ago, and were kept in some sort OF re-
pair; then they became a military
prison and were not so well looked
after. Other buildings were employed
by the town of York as poor debtors
prison. Then both the military and the
town authorities transferred their ten
ants and the buildings began to feel the
weather.
Persons interested sent feeling ap-
peal to the office Of works, which does
what it can for the preservation of ma
tional monuments with the S250,000 1t
annually slips into the budget. The
office sent an expert to York. He ex-
amined carefully the entire architectural
collection. He said that his Office would
take care of Clifford's Tower, which oc-
cupies the site of William the Conquer
or's keep, a ruined fortress on an arti-
fetal mound familiar to readers Of
SCOTS "Ivanhoe," but did not care for
the rest

closely as possible in accordance with
the needs of those coming under their

Difficulties Reviewed.
Unnecessary difficulties presented in
actual practice by the present regula-

Realtors Association in various types of
mortgage activity. were reviewed at a
meeting called at association headquar-

The association, in its brief of July
90 held that mortgages, which are not
specifically mentioned in the act. were
not intended to be covered. and should,
by a well recognized principle Of law,
be held not covered. It asked that, In
any case. mortgages and trust deeds

Early in 1882, he received his
pilots license.
Rheta shared Earle's love Of the
air, so he seldom went without
her to the aviation field where
he was learning to fly. For that
matter, he seldom went anywhere
without her. They always were
together.
In 1882 I left for the st. Louis
Maternity hospital to do some
special work.
There I was when, early In
March, came word that Mary
was dead. She had surrendered
at last, game fighter that she was,
to her poor weak heart.
When she died, the light went
out of the big house on Monroe
street. Everything seemed differ
ent now. Everybody was more
sober. And when, a few months
later, I was offered a residency in
the children's surgery ward of
the hospital where I had served
my interneship, I eagerly &C
cepted.
Meanwhile, the Century Of
Progress had gotten under way,
and Earle, along with some other
aviators, had found employment
on the sky ride. Exactly what he
was supposed to do, never knew.
One day he took tickets, the next
he repaired the rocket cars.
Despite what I have read in the
newspapers these last few weeks,
I wasn't aware of any change be-
tween him and Rheta. AS far as
I knew, he was going home every
night.
And I know she always was
dashing down to the exposition
grounds to keep dates with him.
The only change noted was in
her. Following Mary's death, she
became what I can describe only
as health conscious.
Then the Century of Progress
neared it's erd, and from mother
I learned that Earle and STAN
ley Young, a boy Earle knew at
Northwestern university, we're 60
ing west. Their plan, mother said,
was to take colored pictures of the
Grand canyon.

vestigation Of Rheta's death would
follow set routine and place the
members of the household under
suspicion first.
She was so sincerely anxious to
help clear up the mystery that she
refused to follow her attorneys
advice to "Say nothing further"
after four or five interviews, dur
ing which she patiently had
answered questions and volun-
teered information.
THE attorney, knowing police
Il methods, was afraid that she
would make statements in her
fatigued condition that would be
miSconstrued.
In an interval between her grill
Ings, mother was allowed to take
a sponge bath-in the presence of
a male police officer! She was
subjected to hours of bounding
and misrepresentation.
TopmoSt in her mind through
all TINS torture was the idea that
she must get home to prepare
Rheta'S clothes for the funeral.
1t was after a promise that if
she just would make a statement,
she would be permitted to go.
that mother made her So-called
confession" all of which admit
tedly was suggested to her.
Even after the inquest of Fri
day, Nov. "a, poor mother, in her
fatigued state, thought she was
free to go to Rheta-in her last
hour in Chicago.
Instead, she was held for the
murder of the one she loved
dearly.
My precious mother now is be-
hind bars-the innocent victim
of circumstance and misrepresen-
tation.
The most noble of women is be-
ing crucified upon the altar of po-
lice stupidity.

ment I lost my nerve, but finally
I took the exam. And three
months later, when the results
were posted, couldn't believe my
eyes when I found my name listed
in the first group of thirty-f1ve.
That July I began my coveted
interneShip of Cook County hos
pital. The family spent that sum-
mer as usual, at Frankfort, moth
er and Mary going up on the boat,
while Earle and Rheta flew there.
When time to close our summer
house arrived, a girl from De-
troit, whose parents also had
place on Crystal Lake, invited
Mary to stay over and visit her.
Mary accepted.
But hardly had she unpacked
her trunk, than her hostess be-
came i'll and both girls started
home.
The day after Mary reached
Chicago, word came from Detroit
that her friend had died of in
fantile paralysis. And the day
after that Mary, herself, went to
bed with the same dread dis
ease.
Mother, buster than ever by this
time, gave up everything to take
care of Mary. Whether it was
her expert care, or my sisters
own great desire to recover, I
don't know, but couple of
months later, Mary was able to
come downstairs. She still was
very frail and, of course, she still
was troubled by her bad heart.
1t was in the fall that Mary was

idea was to learn that aviation
business from the ground up, for
he was eager to get into the re-
search department of one of the
large airplane companies.
THROUGHOUT his boyhood.
l. he had shown a decided knack
for things mechanical. He could
do anything to dynamos and en-
glnes and things like that.
Had he not been a physicians
son, I imagine that, when college
came, he would have gone to an
engineering school instead of TO
medical college.

TINE day that the fair closed,
Il they started, driving Earle's
car-the same car in which he'd
brought Rheta to Chicago three
and one-half years before. That
was the last thing I heard.
Then, the evening of Nov. 81, a
call came for me in the ward
where I was working. Mother was
at the other end.

Looking toward the tracks. they
were startled to see the man stand

The engineer threw on the trains

Members of the crew approached
him and ordered him off the tracks.
He ignored them. Then they tried

If Rip Van Wrinkle had
taken only six months for his
famous snooze, he would have
been just as perplexed on
awakening today as he was
after his twenty-year slumber
in the Catskills.
Here are some of the things, ex-
ceedingly strange to the eye OF
June 16, which he would note:
Signs of business recovery, re-
ported by the government and the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce, all
under the emblem of countless blue
eagles, dynamic, tailless birds
Haunting thunderbolts in every
store and factory window.
Organization of from 10 to 30 per
cent of all industry under perma-
ent codes, pledged by law to allow
their employees to bargain collective
ly and bound equally against cut
throat competition through less
than-cost settings.
Minimum wages and maximum
hours guaranteed to 100000 900 in
dustrial workers through perman-
ent codes and Blue Eagle agree
ments. with labor by children under
sixteen barred from all industries
by mutual consent.
Manufacturers asking, and getting
sanction to reduce their hours OF
operation and shut down their ma
chimes by agreement to avoid glut-
ting the markets.
Establishment of supreme
court of labor, the National Labor
Board. to which workers can and
do come with facts and charges
about a few surviving rugged indi-
vidualists among employers.
Rip Van Wrinkle might in amaze
ment then turn his gaze from NRA
to the other MIRA twin, PWA, just
to make sure his eyes saw the truth.
And, looking away from General
Hugh Johnson's lair on the fourth
floor of the Commerce Building, he
would turn to the interior depart
ment and find:
A quiet group Of young econo-
mistS, lawyers and oil men riding
herd on the country's most riproar-
ing bronchos, the old industry,
under check-reins so tight that oil
is selling for around 81 a barrel.
ALLEGATION of the huge sum of
$4,000 900 ,000-a whole years budget
for Uncle Sam a little while ago
to a series of public works and re-
lief projects designed not only to
give work to the jobleSs but at the
same time to raise standards of liv-
ing for citizens of the United States
through better housing, to improve
water supplies, to help cities build
municipal water and power plants,
and to improve the federal govern
ment'S myriad of services.
Award of a fund that placed
100000 unemployed on pay rolls
instead of doles during the short
space of four weeks.
IL these innings SJartleQ hip INTO
complete wakefulnesS, he might look
more closely and find other things
in the picture. both in Washington
and in other cities.
He might find some chiseling "a
new word on Rip by the way; he
might find few people whose i'm
mediate fortunes had been i'm
paired by the operations of MIRA
sellers of hot" oil produced in vio-
lation of production limits, and
Sweatshop operators for instance;
but in general he would find peo-
pie hopefully looking to the future.
And Rip. if he were interviewed,
might say:
IF I lived the 500 years of the
phoenix, don't believe I would find
anything more interesting"
