Mothers, who spoil their men
children rotten, read it, and
reform accordingly.
Dear Elsie Robinson:
I'd like to ask the mothers
Of this country a few ques-
tions. And I think there are
a lot Of other young married
women who will agree with my
ideas, and want the answers
to them, too.
In the first place, why is it
that mothers don't give their
boys a few ideas about what
marriage means? Why don't
they train them in considera-
ton and understanding? Why
do they baby them, until
they're utterly spoiled as hus-
bands?
I am %. A year ago I mar
r1ed a boy I'd been going with
Tor about 10 months. He had,
and has, a good job. He is
honest, ambitious and very
charming-when he wants to
be. But
Well, I knew when I married
him that he was somewhat
spoiled, but I never dreamed of
his total lack Of any feeling
Of responsibility for our home.
His mother always managed
their own home-and SHE AL
WAYS WAITED ON HIM. He
has two sisters, and they
waited on him, too. It seems
he was a sort Of young god at
home.
When we went to housekeep-
ing. like every other girl I
dreamed Of happiness and har.
mony. BUT I SOON DISCOV.
Erred THAT MY NEW HUS-
BAND EXPECTED ME TO
WAIT ON HIM, HAND AND
FOOT, AND 1T NEVER OC-
CURED TO HIM TO EVER
WAIT ON ME.
He expected me to baby him
always. He wanted HIS way
in everything. was elected,
to hear him tell it, to the spe-
cial privilege of being his glori-
fled slave. I was second in i'm.
portance. He pouted and sulked.
He threw things around, and

The Human Side of the News
Beautiful Women Take Outlaw Trail
By EdUiyo C.. Hill

Behind the bars, in the beau
tiful and historic town of Ded-
ham, Massachusetts,, held as
accessory to- one of the most
brutal crimes in the history of
the Old Bay State, is an al
most claSsically beautiful, 49,
year-old girl, golden-haired and
violet-eyed. In default of So
600 dollars bail, she is held as
the robbery and murder aide
of her young husband, Merton
Millen, his brother, Irving,
along with Rose Kneller, col
lege educated, undeniably love-
ly, and young Abe Faber, a
graduate of the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology, a bril-
liant youth of excellent family.
"The cruelest killers I ever
saw" says Detective Lieutenant
John F. Stokes, looking back
over the robberies and murders
of which this band of two
girls and three men are &C
cused. Why Norma Millen,
at the age of 10, the daugh-
ter of a minister of the gos-
pei, and Rose Kneller, of equal
traditional background, should
have involved themselves, un-
der the accusation of the po-
lice, in such a tangle of ban
ditry and cold-blooded, machine
gun killing, is one of the most
astounding puzzles of this reck-
less age.
Love for Bad Men
One has to go back many
years, back to the criminal his
tory of the old West, the wild
women Of the old West, to find
anything like parallels for
Norma Millen and Rose Knellar.
And instantly one comes upon
a curious analogy, for the two
wild women Of the old West
who gained glazing notoriety,
Virginia Slade and Belle Starr,
plunged gayly into bloody vio-
lence because of love for bad
men. Virginia Slade was the
wife of Jack Slade, Slade of the
Overland Stage Line, and an
outlaw. A bold-eyed, black
eyed, dashing woman was Vir-
ginia Slade, who shared the life
Of her 9unman husband and
stood by him until the fatal end.
It was she who came gallop-
ing upon a big horse, when the
Vigilantes had their rope around
Jack Slade's neck and were
about to string him up. Whip
ping out two guns, she passed
one to Slade, cowed the lynchers
and led him to safety at full
gallop. And when he was
caught again at Virginia City,
and sentenced to hang for more
murders than the prosecutor
could roll off his tongue, Vir-
ginia rode in again, guns in
hand. But this time she was too
late. The hangman had fin
ished his job.
The other wild woman Of the
The Washington times., 1934-03-28

old West, who took the outlaw
trail because of love for a bad
man, was Myra Belle Shirley,
who became Belle Starr, the
Outlaw Queen. Her home was
in Carthage, Mo. Her father was
a judge of fine old family. A
courtly gentleman of the old
school, Judge Shirley. And then
Myra Belle eloped with Jim Reed,
one of Quantrell's guerillas, and
when the judge brought her
home and put her in boarding
school, she eloped with him
again. There was no stopping
her when she headed into the
wild life. Where Reed rode and
robbed and killed, there rode
Belle, his wife, among horse
thieves and train robbers.
Strange Woman
A strange woman. She had
the energy and daring that would
have carried her far on the
right road. She had a passion
for books, horses and money.
She was not the bandit queen
of romance, not the handsome,
naughty creature for whom out
laws fight and die. She was a
thin, high-shouldered woman,
with sharp, weathered face, Sc
verely plain, relieved only by
hard blue eyes. A mannish Wo-
man, a superb horsewoman, a
dead shot with rifle and pistol,
as much to be feared as a IT,
gresS, for when crossed she
would kill. Yet she had a soft
side for loyalty and for chill
dren. A strange mixture of
character and wickedness, Of
good and evil.
Reed went out in gun smoke
and Belle married Sam etarr.
His partner, Blue Duck, Dor.
rowed $4,000 from her and lost
it at the faro table. Swearing
vigorously, Belle went after the
money like a fury. Into the
gambling room she charged,
gun in hand, raked $1,000 in
gambling money from the table
and shouted: IF you want
your change, gentlemen, you'll
have to come down into the
Indian Territory for it," and
backed out, while some Of the
hardest men in the Southwest
sat paralyzed by her nerve.
She went to live in the
Cherokee Nation, along the
Canadian River. Her log house
was luxurious with rugs, books,
a piano, but out she rode on
the outlaw trail. The end came
when she was 43. Ed Watson,
an outlaw whose company she
had spurned, shot her from
ambush as she was riding past
him on her thoroughbred horse
Venus. Belle Starr, who had
lived the wild life beyond the
civil law, died by a higher law.
A victim Of romance gone
wrong.

Advice Is Cheap

Do you criticize in a helpful
or in a fault-finding spirit?
Every sensible person well
comes beneficial criticism but
becomes antagoniStic to the
sort suggested by a wrong i'm

Too often, those who make
complaints are not in a posi-
ton to exercise good judgment
in the matters of which they
complain.
It is not often that practical
or workable ideas are advanced
by the person who is not well

In 1914 the United States had six
military aeroplanes on active serv-

10000. Since 1882, Roosevelt has
authorized the building of more
military planes than were built in
the previous five years, bringing the
total military aviation strength of
American Imperialism to an all-time
peak.
