Differences within the recovery

the bituminous coal code today
added new complications to an in

General Hugh Johnson says he
thought owners of the steel COM

deduct union dues from miners
pay while Donald Richberg, NRA

was made.
This development left Johnson
at loss as to what to do to send

RUMORED WOODIN

MANY WONDER WHY sEcRE-

CONCERN
By HERBERT PLUMMER

The report is circulating around
treasury quarters again that Secre-
tary Woodin soon will resign,
This time the reason is so bizarre
that nearly everybody grins
broadly when it is heard.
He will quit to take over
music publishing house backed by
a New York financier, the reports
say.
What those who have only a
cursory knowledge of the treasury
secretary can't understand is why
Woodin should become the head of
any concern that is backed by
someone else. Already he is
head, in his own right, of dozen
or so big companies which are
getting along very nicely.
Cheap publicity for some
body" is the way Woodin's
friends describe il.
The facts are that the secretary
has just moved from his swanky
downtown hotel apartment to a
mansion in the neighborhCod
where the capitals notables re-
side.
Also. those who ought to know.
Isav that while the secretary was
White House guest upon his re-
turn to Washington from his long
illness, he and President Roose-
welt discussed in detail treasury
policies to be followed for the
next six months or more.

Hard They Called Him Machine Gun
But A Girl.Plt The Finger On Kelly

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. a..
Machine Gun, Kelly broods in
his cell here under the shadow of
kidnapping charges because one of
his tricks turned on him.
The success of that trick de-
pended on a 12-year-old girls

didn't, Kelly was as good as be-
hind the bars here facing trial in
the same federal court room where
a jury September 80 returned a
verdict against seven others ac-l

Captured In Memphis
Since federal agents and police
surprised Kelly and his wife. Kath-
ryn, in Memphis September 26,
they have been reconstructing the
trail they believe he followed while
being hunted for the kidnapping of
Charles F. Urschel, wealthy Okla

Pursuing officers will grant that
he was not lacking in clever tricks.
In an effort to throw them off the
track he had dyed his brown hair
yellow, and had abandoned his 16-
cylinder automobile for truck. in
which he and his wife has been
driving through the southwest
posing as vegetable peddlers.
Girl Told On Him
Where Kelly slipped, officers
believe. was when he took with
him 12-year-old Geraldine Arnold,
who tipped off the officers, and
when he mailed vicious death
threats to Urschel and federal
prosecutors in the trial of Harvey
Bailey, Albert Bates and other al
legged accomplices of Kelly in the
kidnapping.
The threats led to the offer by
oklahoma City residents of $15,-
900 reward for the apprehension
of the Kellys, dead or alive, and
spurred the search for the fugi-
tives throughout the country.

EHeroines
Deborah Sampson
BY
LOUISE M. COMSTOCK

IN THE days before the beach pa

who dOnned masculine attire let her
self in for serious consequences. De-
borah Sampson, whose adventurous
soul rebelled against the narrow back
ground to which she was born, dressed
herself up as a man and found herself
lighting the American Revolntionl
In 1878. when the Revolution was

was vigorous girl OF eighteen. She

up a suit for q fictitious brother.
Then. in her new clothes. Deborah set
out on the highway of adventure.
On May 10, when a new detach.
ment of fifty American soldiers ar
rived at West Point. there was among
them slender young infantryman
named Robert Shurtleff. who carried
his gun awkwardly and had tainted
with WEAKNESS on the hard two weeks
march TO the post.
Presently our heroine found herself
in Captain Webb's company of light
infantry. equipped with French

thirty cartridges, handsome in new

ings. and iannty red plumed hat.
Side by side with her comrades at
arms she fought at Tarrytown. White
Plains and at Yorktown. Her greatest
difficulties were the attention of in
fatuated women. and the danger of
exposing her SEX She was once un.
tremendously knocked down by q
jealous sergeant who accused her of
stealing his girl. She claimed to have
had smallpox and risked contracting
the disease rather than expose herself
to vaccination. and she endured in
silence the agony of wound on her
thigh. and bore it's results the rest of
her life. rather than submit to medical
attention. AT length, in Philadelphia
during the summer of 1883. she fell
victim to a fever. was thought dead.
and her sex was discovered when the
doctor felt for her heartbeat. The
doctor kept his knowledge secret.
Deborah was discharged from the
army the following fall. married a
young farmer named Benjamin Can

lived to share in the pension awarded
her by the government in 1881.

Bible Called King
Of All Textbooks

That professor at the University of
Texas who is requiring students in
journalism to practice rewriting sto-
ries from the Bible is but applying
an old idea in a new environment.
The English Bible has long been king
of textbooks for him who would
know how to write the English lam
guage. In addition to it's instruc-
tional value, the course at Texas
ought to serve as chastener of van
ity. Whenever a journalist, old or
young, finds himself getting pulled
up over his technical skill all that is
necessary to bring him back to earth
again, to make him know the limita-
lions Of his craftsmanship, is to set
him to reading st. Luke's report of
the parable of the Prodigal Son.
All things considered, there never
was better reporter than Luke. He
wasted no words; he never spent
time on introductions he had per-
feet understanding of color, move
ment, background. His account of a
shipwreck (Acts q :2S) has not been
surpassed in nineteen centuries. 1t
begins gently as a zephyr:
"And when the south wind blew
softly, supposing that they had oh
tanned their purpose, loosing thence
they sailed close by Crete. But not
long after there arose against it a
tempestOus wind, called Euroclydon.
And when the ship was caught, and
could not bear up into the wind, we
let her drive.''
The wind did not rise more rapidly
than the swell of the narrative nor
did it subside more delightfully."-.
Young journalists should got much
profit out of trying to tell the tale
better if only by the discovery that
it can not be better told. The Old
Testament is full of work of first
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1933-04-14

rate reporters. 1t would be interest
ing to know what the youngsters of
Texas would make out of the account
of the death of certain royal ter
magant who found Nemesis staring
her in the eye:
And when Jehu was come to Jez-
reel, Jezebel heard of it; and she
painted her face, and tired her head,
and looked out at a window. And
as Jehu entered in at the gate, she
said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his
master?
"And he lifted up his face to the
window, and said, Who is on my
side? who? And there looked out to
him two or three eunuchs. And he
said, Throw her down. So they threw
her down: and some of her blood
was sprinkled on the wall, and on
the horses: and he trode her under
foot"
For anybody who wishes to write
strong, vivid, incisive English there
is no exercise which is more useful
than persistent study of the phrase
