OPTIMISM
Contributed BY Mrs. [. :. S. Rogers

Get all the good there is today,
Don't fret about tomorrow;
There's trouble round us all the time
What need is there to borrow?
The wise man gets what joy he can,
And leaves the fool his folly;
He knows too much to waste his life
In gloom and melancholy
Look on the bright side every time.
Don't waste your time repining;
When any clouds look dark and dull.
Turn Out the silvery lining.
Be wise, Be cheerful. bright and
glad.
Leave 10 the fool his folly.
And let your motto be Cheer upi"
Your rule of life: BE jolly"

Admiral Byrd's decision To go into
{ solitary confinement in the most
| lonely and desOlate eXpanse OF the
world was prompted by necessity.
Originally il was planned that this
sOuthernmOst outpost OF science
would house two or three men. But
because of the difficulties of advanc-
ing heavy loads of supplies across
the ice barrier. especially this late
in the season. the last-minute de-
cisiOn was reached for the explorer
to face the great adventure entirely
alone.
And there will be perils a plenty.
Intense cold. Depressing darkness.
Sudden storms. But Byrd's farewell
message tinkled with optimism. Il
hope no one will make anything of
what am about to do" he said. Il
am making no sacrifice of anything.
Do not be concerned If my radio
should fail. After all. ] am not a

Don't ask: will they return it?'

CHICAGO, April 20-John Dillin-
ger may be poison to society in gen.
eral, but in his home town of Moores-
vile, Ind, he's just modern Robin
Hood on a spree.
Down in Mooresville John Roe was
circulating a petition requesting Gov.
Paul v. McNutt to grant amnesty to
the desperate whose wooden-gun
flight March 3 from the Crown Point,
Ind, Jail left a trail of blood and
political repercussions that have
shocked the Nation.
Many Signatures Reported.
Many of Dillinger's home town ac-
quaintances are reported to have
signed the petition which alleges that
Americas public enemy No. l didn't
get square deal when he was con-
victed and sentenced to prison back
in 1924 for robbing a grocer.
Dillinger is not the bold. bad des-
perado he has been pictured, the
amnesty petition says.
He has never" it says, manifest
ed a vicious, revengeful or a blood
thirsty disposition" and adds that
the plan to quit bothering him would
not only prevent bloodshed in his
capture, but would give the State Of
Indiana something to be proud of by
the generous helping hand she had
extended to her prodigal SON"

when he heard that the hometown
folks were sticking by his erring son.
His idea about it was that John would
make good policeman If he surren-
dered and was permitted to rejoin
society.
All the talk about making life
easier for Dillinger came to the fore
yesterday about the time that 1t was
reported a linping bandit, believed
to have been Dillinger, with the as
sistance of three helpers, raided the
Pana, ILL.,. National Bank for $27, ,629
One witness said he thought the
leader was Dillinger, but bank en-
ployes failed to identify him through
pictures, so an intensive hunt was
begun for Roy Gam of Pana, on
suspicion that 1t was he and not the
ubiquitous John who led the raid.
Threat Reported.
The amnesty talk also conceded
with a report that Dillinger was be-
lieved to have been the author Of
a threat to kill Gov. George White

By the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, April 20.-A book written
by Mrs. Kate M. Forbes and intended
to tell hitherto unrevealed secrets of
the Harding administration, was de-
scribed yesterday as too personally
bitter" for publication.
The description was given by James
Ashe, literary agent on trial for grand
larceny. Mrs. Forbes. on the witness
stand Wednesday, said she nearly in
trusted two rings and some depre-
clated securities to Ashe in return for
his services. She added incidentally
that she had been deserted seven or
eight years ago by Col. Charles B.
Forbes. who served two years in
Leavenworth Penitentiary for defraud-
ing the Government while he was
Veterans Bureau administrator
Ashe testified he found Mrs. Forbes
"penniless" and he did not try to
market any of her writings. He is
charged with defrauding Mrs. Sara
Shannon of $4,000 to be used to aid
her in receiving literary prizes. He
said the real truth" is that Mrs.
Shannon induced him to part with
about $4,000 of his own money for
the purpose
Ashe testified he was without
money and trying to make his way
here from Atlanta, when he was ar
rested in Dallas, on Mrs. Shannon's s
complaint last Fall.
