acterized the actions of States Attorney

death of Mrs. Cora L. Britton' OF Mays

CissePs objection to the prosecutors
conduct came after Prescott objected to
the way the defense attorney was cross
questioning James Robert Dunlop. Jr,
q medical photographer, concerning the
dates ON which he took series OF pho
tographs.
Dunlop had identified the photo
graphs during direct examination and
given the dates on which each was
taken. Cissel asked him if he had not
testified differently as to the dates at
the preliminary hearing of the case,
whereupon Prescott arose with:
Not Put in Evidence.
"Well, I remember. I was at that
hearing, too. I have a little different
recollection"
The photographs identified were not
put in cvidence, and even their identi-
fication by the photographer and other
witnesses was over objections of defense
counsel who, overruled by the court,
noted exceptions in all cases.
When the second day of the trial
opened this morning the court an
nounced it had reconSidered one OF
Cissels objections overruled yesterday
and instructed the stenographer to
strike out one question and answer in
the testimony of Dr. Walter Wise.
The dead woman'S sister-in-law. Mrs.
Nettie Veach Elliott, said on the wit
ness stand this morning she had talked
to DR.. Ferris month before her sister
died and that the doctor had told her
at that time that Mrs. Britton could not

The third physician, DIR. Isaac Miller,
testified as to the seriousness of the
woman's condition at the time she en-
tered the hospital. He was the first to
treat her upon entrance, and told of
removing some Of the salve from the
burned wound.
Earlier in the day DR.. Roland L.
BrittOn, husband Of the dead woman,
told of events leading up to his wife
entering the care of DR. Street, who
took her to the home of DR.. Ferris, in
Chevy Chase, where she underwent the
treatment for seven weeks before being

death, that her heart action had been

which had caused q wound which he
described as the most severe type OF

DELAY CLOSING
OF RUTH Judd
SANITY TRIAL
State Fails to Have Last
Witness in Court; Rest
Is Taken.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
COURTROOM, FLORENCE, Ariz.,
April 2l.-Conclusion of the lunacy
of hearing of Winnie Ruth Judd,
the result of which means death on
the gaIows or imprisonment in a
state asylum for the blond nurse,
was Unexpectedly delayed today
when the state failed to have its
final witness in court.
The county attorney asked for a
recess until this afternoon, and the
court granted it over objections of
attorneys for Mrs. Judd, who in
sisted the state should be forced to
rest.

states witnesses, DR.. Joseph Cation

lists, presented their testimony yes

The Judd defense claimed an i'm
portant point in DR.. Cations testi-
mony that Mrs. Judd is go per
cent insane" but he qualified this
statement by describing types OF
mental instability and declaring
that "by legal definition, I must de-
scribe her as sane"
DR.. Cation said he found Mrs
Judd suffering from "neurosis of the
condemned" a mental state often
found among persons facing eXecu-
ton.
DR.. Cation, resuming his testi-
mony, said he did not believe Mrs

fair, since the fair is devoted large
ly to celebrating the advances which
have been brought about in the
world during the last 100 years as
result of the march of science.
There was no electric light in
1888, no electric motor, no automo-
bile, no telephone and no radio. The
things which we regard almost as
necessities of life in 1888 were still
waiting to be invented.
Medical science was at a low ebb
in 1888. Epidemics of typhoid,
malaria and yellow fever were COM
mon in many regions. The role of
microbes in disease was not un-
derstood as it is today. AnestheticS
had not yet come into use. Surgi-
cal methods were crude compared
with those of today.

l. No. The psychological rea-
son is that while man thinks,
in the enthusiasm of love, that
all he will have to do is to lean
on the woman, he finds, after
marriage, he must come from
within himself.
He soon resents the idea that
he can not stand on his own
feet, and therefore refuses her
counsel. The biological reason
is that his unstable tendencies
tend to be inherited by his chill
dren, or more especially by his
grandchildren, and some good
woman some day will have to
reform them. 1t is a dangerous
experiment, although millions of
good, big-hearted women doubt
less will continue to try it.
2. Such psychologists as War
den, Aylesworth, Yerkes, Thorn
dyke and others, have expert
mented on this with both ami
mails and human beings. The
general results seem to show

star, 240 trillion miles away, will
open the Chicago worlds fair, or
Century of Progress" exposition, on
June /.
The star is Arcturus, fourth
brightest star in the northern hemi-
sphere. You will find it in the
eastern sky in the constellation by
BOOtes.
Arcturus is so far away from the
earth that its light, travelling 1885,,
600 miles a second or six trillion
miles a year, takes forty years to
reach us This means that the
beams of light which left Arcturus
when the Columbian exposition was
in session, just now are reaching
the earths surface. That is why
this particular star was chosen to
open the exposition.
On the night of June /, astrono-
mers at the Yerkes observatory will
turn their 40-inch telescope, the
largest refracting telescope in the
world, upon Arcturus.
Current Is Treated
Actually, Arcturus is 100 times as
bright as our sun, but it is SO far
away that the amount of energy
reaching from Arcturus is equiva-
lent to that which would be received
from a candle flame five miles away.
When the big telescope has been
focused upon Arcturus, the eyepiece
will be replaced with photo-elec-
trio cell.
The photo-electric cell is some
times called the electric eye. 1t is
a glass tube, somewhat like the
tubes in your radio set.
The inner side Of the glass is
coated with potassium. When
light strikes it, electrons are
. knocked out of the coating. These
electrons, travelling to a metallic
electrode, or plate" at the center
of the tube, constitute a tiny cleo
trio current.
The electrOnS which the light of
Arcturus will be able to dislodge
viii be a current so feeble that it
will be equal to about milliOnth
of the current flowing in an ordi-
nary electric light bulb.
Relayed to Switch
But a special simplifying unit
built of transformers and radio
tubes much like those in an ordi-
nary radio set will build up this
current.
1t then will be sent from the
Yerkes observatory over telegraph
wires to the hall of science at the
fairgrounds on Chicagos lake front.
There the current will actuate a
relay system which will turn on
the switch for the great light in
the Hall of Science.
1t is appropriate that scientific
stunt be used to open the Chicago

whereas praise seems directly to
strengthen ones learning.
Criticism seems merely to
bring up a picture of distress,
and may lead to avoidance Of
a previous mistake, but praise
seems positively to increase the
speed and amount of learning.
When criticism by a superior
causes one to feel inferior, or
afraid, it tends to block his men
tai and nervous processes.
3.,Yes. The most recent
proof is the study I mentioned
recently by Drs. Hartshorne and
May of Yale They tested 10000
school children from 8 to IA
years of age for tendencies to
lie, cheat, steal and help others.
There was one golden thread
that ran through it all; namely,
that the higher the intelligence,
the more they tended to think
right and do their problems
better and discover that doing
right brings greater happiness.
Therefore, cultivating the intel
ligence seems the surest way to
develop character.

MARST0N TO PRESIDE AT SEMINAR SESSION
JULY BUSINESS : IN NEW ENGLAND
 WAS IMPROVED
Usually That Month Is One of Dullest of Year Lines of Industry Show- ed New Life

Boston, Sept 1-(UP)-General business activity in New England appears to have improved consid- erably during July as compared with June, the federal reserve bank of Boston reported today, whereas in past years, July represented merely Q transitional period be- tween midsummer dullness and start of autumn activity.
 Though not uniformly reading actual increases in July, most lines of industry showed, after season adjustment, relatively little tenden- cy to decline, said the report.
 Daily average output of shoes in- creased in July over seasonal ex- pectations. 1t reported, daily rate of production being more than IS per cent above that for March.
 Volume of new building contract awards, on a square foot basis, con- tinued to record improvement in both the residential and the com mercial and industrial groups. In the three months between April and July the seasonally adjusted index of the volume of new contracts awarded for both classes of con- struction more than doubles.
 Textile activity in New England continues relatively high, said the report, although the July reports on the consumption of raw cotton and wool indicated some recession, due to seasonal Influences. Daily average amount of raw cotton con- stunned by New England mills de- clined from 4690 bales in June to 1875 bales in July, a decrease of nearly seven per cent as against q normal seasonal decline of five per cent.
 The seasonally adjusted index of cotton consumption for July was the highest for any July since 1929. the slight decrease in the dialy average consumption of raw wool during July mostly reflected m adjustment as Q result of the exceedingly large volume of raw wool consumed during the preced. ing month.
 Commercial failures in New Eng land during July were 57 per cent less than July, 1932; new automo- bile registrations were 1886 against 7695.
