Excitement OUer
Triangle Case

An unidentified man came to the
sheriff's office at 10 O'Clock last
night and asked for deputies to
catch car which was headed west
on State street, according TO a re-
port on file there. He did not
know who was in the car or what
kind of a car it was but said it
had been in some kind of trouble at
local service station
The deputy in charge called the
station and was told the following
story: Some man was out with
another mans wife and stopped at
the station. Just at that moment
the woman IS husband drove up and
started over to the car in which his
wife was sitting. The other man
jammed his car into reverse and
backed it away down Eighth street
with the husband following on foot.
The sequel to the story never was
learned.

Last Army Camel
Gives Up Ghost

LOS ANGELES, April 81. U.P)-
Topsy, the last camel that trekked
across the desert of Arizona and
California, is dead.
Attendants at Griffith Park here
destroyed her after she became
crippled with paralysis in the park
lot where she spent the declining
years of her life.
TopSy was the last survivor of
the camel herds that once carried
packs across the mountains and
lava beds of Arizona and south
eastern California They were i'm
ported in 1854 on orders of Jeffer-
son Davis, then secretary of war,
as agents of transportation in the
Gesert regions. When their need
disappeared, most of the camels
were abandoned to live in a wild
state on the Arizona desert. Some
OF the survivors were later cap
tured and sent to ZOOS and among
ther was Topsy.

Answer think it would be the
most senseleSs brutality for any
body to tell your husband the
truth. You will have to take care
not to antagonize either your
brother-in-law or his wife. If
they have any consideration for
your husband whatever, they will
not strike down his peace by tat
Ting. There is no way for you to
avoid the penalty of uneasiness.
Perhaps it would relieve your con-
science to confess, but when you
only put the burden of your acts
on your husband, confession turns
into self Indulgence.

POLLY.
Answer-Every hate has its love
and every love its hate. Any in
tense feeling hides it opposite in
some obscure corner of the indi-
vidual's being. If your stepfather
goes out of his way to make life
miserable for you, it is possible
that he does so because he is de-
termined not to be fond of you.
The same divided attitude may
be true of you. OF course, you
long for a fathers affection and
care. The man has disappointed
you by not coming up to your ex-
pectationS. You despise him for
his failure without losing the
yearning that he would play the
role of father with more f1nesse.
The situation is complicated anG
difficult to work out. I think it
would be advisable for you to find
a job which would not overtax
your strength and live away from
home. In fact, you might find
your health considerably i'm
proved if you lived in more peace
full surroundings. 1t may take a
little time to get on your feet
financially. The main thing is
to set your goal and move to-
ward it as rapidly as possible.
You will help your mother by
avoiding conflicts with your STEP
father. A pleasant attitude to-
ward him would go far toward
keeping down a storm until you
can make your escape. do not
know your mothers attitude to-
ward the man and therefore can
not make an enlightened answer.
1t is not enough for a woman to
love a home and be a good man.
ager. If she leaves him emotionally
unsatisfied that helps to account for
his bad behavior. When you judge
him, try hard to give him a break.
Reflect that he has his conflicts
and miseries, too.

THE acme of luxury this season is to have an
evening coat lined with ermine!
Designers are pretty nonchalant about the way
they handle precious furs If you are one to cringe

with his small concerns, and he
takes the puZzling affairs OF an
adult world for granted. I do be-
lieve he needs a father and a
mother-or two persons who stand
in such capacity to him. The
proper development of his char
acter requires assistance from a
male and female personality, two
utterly different types of individ-
ual, from whom he can get two
utterly different kinds of help.
1 Parents are not just people to
Small children--they are citadels
of strength and permanence to
which hurt or bewildered little
one may flee in times of stress.
Just being there is about all our
children need of us and certainly
parental love and care represent
for them the light upon a Sanctu-
airy altar, light that never fails
and fickers steadfastly through
the deepest dark.
A little boy runs to his mother
for tenderness when he is hurt,
sad or sleepy, but he goes to his
father when he wants to be re-
assured as to his own Importance.
He knows instinctively that there
is a wisdom of the heart and
wisdom of the head. He must
have both of these to develop
along normal lines.
Continued rancor, implacable
domestic hatred will in time cause
any child unhappiness and may,
as the experts tell us, give him
complex. But a broken home may
give him a blow from which he
can never recover. The effect of
a few quarrels is nothing COM
pared to the positive harm worked
upon modern children by the
ruthless destruction of their world
