When Farley had gone. Joan lay
gazing out through the open window
into the night. So she was. really in
Spain! She had come because OF a
letter from Nancy Hailam-a letter
which had arrived when Joan was
feeling desolate, with Penelope gone
with the winter winds howling about
the house, with the winter SHOWS
driftin< high.
Penelopes old uncle had begged
her to stay with him for time
Since his Nife's DEATH" Penelope
wrote, he seems feeble and i'll. i

Farley had come to the house in
the woods to keep Joan company
There was also cook brought from
Portland, because Farley did not be-
long in the kitchen, and Joan could
not, of course, play chef to her maid.
And with these formahties had come
a lessening of the charm of the old
house In :, the woods Penelope's
sturdy and strong personality had
while she was. there. pervaded every
thing. She and Joan had seemed to
preserve together the unites of SIM
pie living as they had swept and
busted and cooked and washed dishes.
But now with Farleys eye as it
were upon her; with meals being
served to her alone in state and
elegance, there came a sense of in
congruity. Farley did not fit in, the
cook had no real field for her culi-
nary talents. and the place needed its
mistress to make it something be-
sides solitude.
And just as this sense of solitude
had begun to weigh upon her, there
had come to Joan a letter from
Nancy Hallam. 1t was written from
Barcelona, on the paper Of famous
hostelry:

U. S. DEBT SLASHED
BY MONEY PROGRAM
Actual Indebtedness Is Cut
by IL Per Cent.

By CHtted Press
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 30
The government debt today is ac-
tually IL per cent less than it was
last March, although in round fig
ures it has been increased from
$21, 1,000,000,000 to $24,000,000,0
Professor Irving Fisher, Yale econo-
mist, asserted last night.
Speaking on the Presidents mon
etary plans, Professor Fisher said:
"It is commonly taken for granted
that our government debt has been
getting worse and worse since Mr..
Roosevelt took office-growing, they
say, from $21 ,O00,0O0,0O0 to $24,-
000,000,000, or about Is per cent
since March 4.
But no one is sound account
ant who merely counts up the dol
lars involved. Besides counting the
dollars, you have to measure each
dollar. Twenty-four billion dol
lars, instead of being IS per cent
more than the twenty-one billion
dollars of an earlier vintage, viii
come out substantially less than
the earlier billions, if each individ-
ual dollar is sufficiently smaller in
value. And the fact is each dollar
today is about % per cent less val
liable than the dollar of March 4,
thus making the real government
debt of today about II per cent less
than the real government debt of
March A.

Shocking Life
Electric Needle Used to
Revive Dead.
By United Press

By OHited Press
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30.-Elec-
l. tricity as a means of resuSci-
tation for apparently dead persons
was described to physicians by DR..
Albert S. Hyman of New York,
inventor, who claimed that sew
eral experiments have been sue
cessful.
DR.. Hyman uses a slender gold
en- needle charged with the
amount of electricity produced by
the normal beating heart. This
is plunged directly into the heart,
he said, in the same manner that
the drug adrenalin has been in
jected for years.
Adrenalin, DR.. Hyman said, has
been used with indifferent sue
cess and the electrical invention
has raised the probability of sue
cess to between 40 and 45 per
cent.
The instrument has proved sue
cessful in cases where death was
caused by shock, in accidents,
childbirth or operations while
under ether, according to the in
ventor. In cases, however, where
death was caused by constitutional
deterioration, the needle is inef-
fective.

STATE RESTS
IN TOUHY CASE
Second Witness Missing in
Trial of Alleged Kid
naperS.
By United Press

By JHted Press
CRIMINAL COURT BUILDING,
CHICAGO, Jan. 80. - Prosecutors
drew toward completion today the
evidence they believe will influence
a jury to vote death in the electric
chair for Roger Touhy and three
gunmen on charges they kidnapped
John (Jake the Barbe) Factor.
Testimony presented by Prosecu-
tor Wilbert Crowley today concerned
the Inflated attempt of Chicago po-
lice officers to trap members of the
kidnap gang in a west suburban
forest preserve.
Several of the hundreds of po-
lice who engaged in the trap were
called to tell how the wary abduc-
tors. suspecting all was not well,
succeeded in breaking out of the
ring of armed men safely.
Presentation of the Touhy gang
sters' defense will open tomor-
row under direction of Defense
Counsel William Scott Stewart, who
is expected to recall Factor to the
stand to question him further re-
garding details of his captivity.
Another witness was found MISS
ing today when bailiffs called in vain
for Helen Terry, waitress, who was
to have testified to serving meals to
members of the Touhy gang.
Miss Terry was the second wit
ness to vanish. The first was James
Wager, roadhouse proprietor, who
disappeared from a loop hotel after
receiving threats.
Attorney Crowley said he believed
both witnesses had been intim-
idated.

War Picture Brings
Memories to City Man
Scene of Dance Here Shows
Sailor and His Bride,
Now Dead.

Pictures tell a story and some
times their message is a tug at the
heartstrings.
Seventeen years ago, Floyd E.
Jackson, now chief yeoman attached
to the Naval Reserve battalion here,
was carefree young sailor on the
U. S. S. San Diego.
Miss Ethel Van Scoyoc, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Van Scoyoc,
80 North Webster street, went to the
west coast on a visit with her
mother. They went on an inSpec-
ton tour of the San Diego and Mr..
Jackson was detailed to show them
the ship.
Romance blossomed and they
were married soon afterward in San
Francisco. Followed various assign
ments for Mr. Jackson, among them
to the Cheyenne when it was sub
tender for the Pacific submarine
fotilla.
Mr.. Jackson received an honor
able discharge and re-enlisted just
before the Armistice. He was as
signed to Indianapolis for recruiting
duty.
With beginning of the Laurence
Stallings' Photographic history OF
the World war-"The First World
War'-The Times published three
pages of war pictures of Indian
apolis scenes and of Indiana troops
overseas.
Among the former was a picture
of a wartime dance for sailors, held
on the top floor of the old Propy-
laeum building here. Mr.. Jackson
was staggered to see among the
couples on the floor himself and his
young bride of a year, who died in
1880.
Among others in the seventeen
year-old picture, he recognized
Commander John A. Bell, United
States navy, retired; Lieutenant
Commander Harrison S. Thurston
and Robert Dennis, now an Indian
apoliS patrolman assigned to the
traffic Office at police headquarters.
The picture naturally had a SEN
timental significance to Mr.. Jack
son. He has the picture now.

WOMAN SHERIFF
NOT AFRAID OF
MOB CHIEFTAIN
Crown Point Officer Excited
by Chance to Guard
John DiIlinger.

By United Press
CROWN POINT, Ind, Jan. 80. -
Sheriff Lillian Holley is as excited
as she would be over new hat at
the prospect that she, the country's
only woman sheriff, and a rookie
one at that, will guard John Dilling-
er and his desperate gangsters
when and if they are brought back
for trial here.
Her swapping black eyes sparkled
at the prospect and she laughed at
the possibility that she might be
worried over guarding the country's
bloodiest outlaw.
That's a good JOKE" she laughed.
I'm tickled to death that these fell
lows probably will be brought to my
jail. They may have been able to
fight their way out of some prisons,
but they can't do it here"
Mrs. Holley, a woman Of 38 with
dark hair and firm mouth, wears
her sheriff's star pinned to her
modish black dress and doesn't
carry any gun.
Handy With Revolver
"I can't always ring the bulls eye
with a revolver, but hit the target
and that's more than some sherltfs
can do" she said.
Special precautions will be taken
to guard Dillinger and his COM
panions if they are brought to the
Lake county jail here.
We'll put on few special
guards" Mrs. Holley said, "and oil
up our two machine guns. But 1
don't look for trouble. I've had some
tough babies in here before and 1
know how to treat them"
Guarded Fur SammOns
She pointed out that James (Fur)
Samrnons, notorious Chicago gun
man. had been in her custody for
several weeks after his arrest and
during his trial.
The Jail over which Mrs. Holley
has charge is a moderate-sized af-
fair, accommodating 400 prisoners.
1t is a modern structure and in Or
dinary times no outside guards are
posted. When and if the Dillinger
gang is brought here, the jail's two
machine guns will be mounted on
the roof as a precaution against a
delivery attempt and ten or twelve
deputies will patrol the outside
walls.
