person, that has come out of the un-
des .iPe Of life, to try and live a de-
cent life, back into the gutter, as you
would call It, just because Of some
thing you happened to say? Ne. you
wouldn't.
Then let us all, from the time we
read this column. resolve only to
say something abops a person, that
we know will help to lift them up in
the eyes of the people, not something
that will lower them. Eyerytime YOU
go to say something aboras a person,
that will be a stumbling block in his
path to a clean life, such as Hes a
hundred per cent no Good or "She
doesn't amount to a Row Of Beans"
stop and think what The effect of
your saying will have on the individ-
ual concerned, think about yourself,
in his same position about your mis-
takes and faults, and about the good
that may be. in that person.
If you knew nothing good about a

The truth is far more prosaic: she was clumsy. and her clumsiness led her to the execution post; she was fat and forty, not beautiful and her supposed Indian dancing gyrations were not much better than those of sideshow dancers anywhere. She failed three times in her stage career before the war.
 But Mati-Hari is still the best known of the spies executed dur ing the war. There were others: Marguerite Francillard was the first woman to face the firing squad in that war. She was a dressmaker at Grenoble, who had as her lover a Swiss" who turned out to be a German spy chief. She did his bidding, was caught, and paid the penalty.
 '"This is not possible, this Is not poss-," she cried as the volley sounded.

WOMAN ARTIST
 EXHIBITS ALONE
Salicia Bahnc Displaying Paintings Here for the
 First Time

Paris (UP)-salcia Bahnc, born in the Carpathian Mountains oT Poland and brought up in the pow erty of the New York Ghetto. has given seven one-man shows in America and is exhibiting by re- quest for the first time here.
 She is one of the few. if not the only, Representatives of the "Ex- pressionist," or "Modernist," groups willing to credit her audiences with that grain of human ihtellir gefce which permits 1t both to in- terpret and finish her paintings. She is a creator and a painter or ideas and she never permits them to escape their frames.
 Saicia Ba1inc studied at the Art Institute in Chicago, but long be- fore that there was no keeping a brush out of her hand. At ten she was called on to instruct her art classes in school, and although only in the fifth grade, she was frequently sent for by the sixth grade art teacher to instruct the students in that class.
 Unlike many artists, and espe- cially modern artists, Salcia Bahnc cannot copy.
 In a sense she is the Katherine Mansfield of Art, for she wrings the last ounce of sadness in her facial expressions of peasant wo- me nof Poland. They are mental pictures of the tales her grand mother recited to her of the hard ships and joys of her ancestors.

 Kilgore, Tex, Feb 6-There may have been a depression, but if so tt apparently missed Kilgore and other towns in the east Texas oil field area.
 Three years ago Kilgore was a struggling village with a popula- ton of 500., Today it is an enter prising, lively, town of 15,000.

 On a week day afternoon side walks are crowded with people, stores are busy and doing a rush business. In the downtown section curbs are lined with automobiles A double line of machines is park ed in the center of the streets. Traffic is heavy, with minor snarls at practically every intersection. The writer learned that the dis tributor of popular automobile had made four sales up to two o'clock in the afternoon, and hoped to sell three more machines before sunset.
 since discovery or the EdSt leA- as field in 1929, 12,000 wells have been completed as producers. A weekly oil report by the Texas railroad commission shows a daily average of crude oil pro- duce of 408,000 barrels. Since dis covery of the field 460,S20,ss0 bar rels of crude oil have been pro- duced at a value of $1 per bar rel. During the month of Decem- Der, 1888, 4ss producers were brought in.
