NEW YORK, Oct. ia heart
broken acrobat was in the hands Of
friends today who urged him to go
to the flying trapeze quickly-other-
wise he might lose his nerve and
with 1t his profession.
Charles De Phil, as, stood on the
stage Of Roxy theater before an au-
dience Of 1900 and watched his o.
year-old wife, TO whom he had been
married less than a year, fall to her
death from a forty-foot high tight
wire.
De Phil today was ~red-eyed,
iumpy, but his colleagues said he
planned 10 return to the high ira
peze in a day or so. In his profess
sion, they said. death does not in
terfere with the act" and the De
Phil act has played in theaters and
circuses in all parts of the world for
twenty years.
Mary Larkin De Phil was not born
an acrobat as was her husband. An

skillful. wo years ago, she replaced
De Phil's brother as "top-man" in
his aerial act. She rode a unicycle
over a tight wire. A trapeze was sus-
pended from axle extensions and
from this De Phil performed a vari-
ETY. Of feats.
They had performed this act to-
gether at least 1900 times without
the least semblance of an accident.
At some outdoor performances. the
wire had been stretched as high as
$50 feet.
Yesterday the wire was stretched
across the huge stage of Roxy's.
While Mrs. De Phil pedaled rapidly
back and forth, De Phil revolved
around the bar at the rate of fifty
revolutions a minute. He dropped
off amid v%ociferous applause. Mrs.
De Phil pedaled slowly toward the
landing platform. A foot away, she
either suffered an attack of vertigo
or lost her balance. She stumbled,

The curtain fell rapidly while
screams and cries arose from the
audience. Six women tainted and
were carried to the first-aid room.
Mrs. De Phil was taken to a hos
pital and died six hours later with
out regaining consciousness. Her
skull was fractured.

should be cashed. South should
now lead his king of diamonds,
followed by a small diamond
which is won in dummy with the
ace.
The par play on the hand is for
declarer not to cash his queen of
diamonds, because, if he does, West
will ruff and cash his king of hearts.
A small diamond should be played
from dummy and South should
trump with the jack of spades,
shutting out West.
A small spade then is led and
won in dummy with the queen. This
picks up the last trump.
The Queen and seven Of dia-
monds are both good, for the dis
card of the two losing hearts. The
last heart is trumped with the nine
of spades.

When North bids two diamonds

Souths rebid of two spades shows
a flve-card suit, and with this in

ing can be expected of him. As
long as he enjoys this irrespon-
Sible state, nothing can be done

untold woe by refusing to marry
a man who fritters away his en-

Dear Jane JOrdan-I have a girl
friend who likes a boy and just in
siSts on running after him say in
limiting ways that he won't care for
her if she is always around him, but
she usually gets peeved. There is
a boy who goes with her boy friend
that 1 like My girl friend wants
me to walk around and hunt her
boy up. Every time we find him ne
is with this other boy whom I like.
1 don't want the boy to think run
after him.
The boy my girl friend runs after
doesn't seem to want her around,
but yet she likes him. I don't want
to cheaper myself in such ways, but
1 don't want to get mad at her be-
cause we've been pals almost a year.
What shall I do?
WONDERING FRIEND.
Answer-Real friends do not
get mad at each other because of
a difference of opinion. You can't
allow yourself to be drawn into
diStaSteful situations simply to
keep your girl friend in a good
humOr.
You have more sense than she
has and much better taste. Her
chase merely repelS the boy and
thereby defeats her own purpose.
which is TO attract him. Try TO
find some tactful method of show
ing her the facts which will not
hurt her feelings Appeal to her
Self-interest and perhaps she will
listen to more effective methods of
charming boys.
Dear Jane Jordan-I am a young
man % years old. and a very moody
sort. I am far from handsome. My
I friends say that I am too easy 60
\ ing and good natured to get very
far. I once had a girl to tell me
she didn't like me because I didn't
have any temper and she could not
fuss with me.

you lack aggression. Life is

the boy, not apparent on the out
side, but burning furiously with
in. John helped his father with
the corn, went hunting with him,
but always there was a restless

His one interest apparently was
in mechanics. He worked for
James Burcham as a mechanic in
a shop on Kentucky avenue, where
he apparently was contented. Even
