NEW YORK, June 23.-Agnes G.
Tufverson, brilliant 43-year-old cor
poration lawyer, walked out of her
apartment on the night Of December
20 and vanished as completely as If
she had never lived.
An intensive search on two conti-
nents has failed to turn up any trace
of the woman who married Ivan Ivan
ovitch Poderjay, handsome Yugosla-
Wan, 16 days before she dropped from
sight.
Poderjay, disclaiming any knowl-
edge of her disappearance, has been
held in Vienna jail. His trip to Eu-
rope has been traced and retraced,
Miss Tufverson's apartment has been
combed by experts, but no worth
while clues have been found.
Developments have come in rapid
fire succession, but the mystery re-
mains one of the strangest in recent
years.
The first entry in the Tufverson-
Poderjay log was prosaic enough. The
couple met on boat train in Eng
land in July, 1888. Poderjay in Vien-
ma. claimed the woman told him of an
unhappy love affair, mentioned suicide
and asked him to marry her so that
she would not return to America a
Spinster.
Blasted Romance Denied.
Miss TufverSon'S relatives in Detroit
promptly denied there had been any
blasted romance, maintained that de-
spondency was not in the character
of the woman who rose from the po-
sition of a factory worker to become
known as "Michigan's most intelli-
gent woman
In any event, Miss Tufverson re-
turned to New York alone. Poderjay
also came here during the early Fall,
resumed his acquaintance with Miss
Tufverson and on December 4, 1888
they were married in the Little
Church Around the Corner.
Poderjay moved from a small hotel
to the Tufverson apartment. Fifteen
days later they telephoned Miss Tuf-
verson's two sisters in Detroit, an
nounced their marriage and the bride
groom was introduced over the wire.
Detroit relatives also were informed
that the couple was leaving the next
day for a European honeymoon and
there we're mentioned the Captains
estates and other properties-now
known to be -existent-in Eng
land.
Left for Pier.
Poderjay and his bride left her
apartment the night of December 90
took taxicab to the Hamburg Ameri-
can Line pier, where the liner Ham,
burg was sailing at midnight. Police
learned later no accommodations had
been booked on that vessel for the
pair.
There was quarrel at the dock
and the two returned home. Poderjay
instructed Miss Tufverson's maid at
the apartment not to return the next
Gay, but to report December %.
The servant, last person known to
have seen her mistress, found Poder-

COUNTY WILL END
ALL PUBLIC DUMPS
Supreme Court Rules on
Issuance of Permits
in Arlington.
BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
June 23.-The immediate elmina-
ton of all public dumps in
Arlington County was made possible
today in a mandate from the State
Supreme Court of Appeals upholding
the rights of the County Board to
place the issuance of dump operation
permits in the hands Of the county
manager and Health Department.
Both have hitherto refused to issue
any such permits.
This question has been in contro-
versy since shortly after Common
wealth's Attorney Lawrence w. Doug
las took Office in 1882. Following the
passage Of the ordinance prohibiting
the operation of dumps except by per-
NIT, j. H. Houser operator of dump
near the new Arlington Memorial
Bridge. was arrested and prosecuted
by Douglas both through the County
and Circuit Courts. the defendant
contending that the ordinance was
uIlCOIlSIllQIlOtldl.
During these proceedings and after
an appeal had been made to the Su-
preme Court of Appeals for a writ OF
error. local authorities felt that it
would be useless to make any further
arrests. since enforcement would be
held up until the Supreme Court had
acted.
As result of this situation the
operation of the dumps, at most Of
which a fee of IS cents a load Is
charged for the dumping Of trash, has
been protested by hundreds Of citi-
zens. especially in the Virginia High
lands and Aurora Hills sections Of
the county.
Since the Supreme Court has up
held the ordinance. the sheriff and
Commonwealth attorney are now
privileged to arrest all persons who
continue the operation of dumps with
out permits. and it is indicated that
no permits will be issued, the Health
Department holding that they are a
menace to public health.

Trouble in Uniform

Dispatches from London report that
tho British government seriously Is
considering action to disband all uni
formed political bodies, such as the
Fascist black shirts organized by Sir
Oswald Mosley.
England never has been plagued
with these organizations to the ex-
tent that continental countries have
been; nevertheless, it is beginning to
have difficulties with them, and dur
Ing the last six months Of 1893 no
fewer than az disturbances in which
men wearing political uniforms were
involved were reported.
As general thing, It can be said
that when political parties take to
organizing their young men into
semi-military bodies, dressed in dis
tinctive uniforms, there is trouble
ahead.
These bodies are not designed for
use IN harmless parades: they are
organized for fighting. II their direc-
tors think it necessary-fighting with
their fists, with clubs, or with guns.
There Is precious little place for
them In democracy. II the British
government plans to abolish them

derStand.

TAKE NOURISHMENT FOR
EXAMPLE

Whenever see Bette Davis the ac-
tress laboriously drag herself across
the scene l wonder how long 1t will
be before the poor deluded child is
taken to the san. A good many mis-
guided young women have been bitten
by the Hollywood diet bug and have
ended their careers In tuberculosis
sanatorium.
A moderate reduction diet intelli-
gently followed Is rather beneficial to
the health of the overweight individ-
ual of mature age. But a young per-
son who has not yet attained COM
plete adult development cannot safe
~ restrict diet in any way, unless un-
der the personal direction and obser-
walton of her own physician.
Children in their teens need as
much or in some instances more nour-
ishment than their sedentary par
ents need, for the young ones are
not only more active physically, as a
rule, but invariably require a fair
amount Of energy for growth and de-
velopment. and If their diet is un-
intelligently restricted IN any way
they simply do not get the required
energy and inevitably they suffer
grave consequences, among which the
lighting up of that smouldering or
latent tuberculosis which most Of us
have Is but one manifestation.
The average adult who does no hard
work or play but lives sedentary life
requires perhaps 5000 calories daily.
From social habit and the constant
temptation to indulge in superfluous
sweets or Refreshments" such as
candy, ice cream, sweetened or mildly
alcoholic beverages, the average sed-
entary adult takes from $500 to 1000
calories daily, and the excess-well,
that's what we are dealing with in
these talks.
A man doing hard outdoor work, or
q woman doing washing, scrubbing or
sweeping needs daily ration Of from
I. 400 to 1900 calories. U. S. army
rations yield about 5000 calories, and
q soldier doesn't grow fat on that.
U. 8. navy rations are 400 or 500 calo-
ries more than the army rations.
There are no satisfactory tables or
figures to show how many calories a
person burns off by walking a mile.
by dancing. or by other forms of work,
play or exercise. But here are . few
scientific data Of interest:
Walking 2 miles per hour increases
metabolism. Oxidation or combustion
rate) to three times the resting rate;
walking miles per hour increases it
to five times the resting rate. That
means you burn up the excess fuel or
tissue that much faster. From three
to six miles of oxygen on the hoof
every day is fine remedy, either pre-
ventive or curative. for overweight.
Finnish Psychologists, In the Helsing-
fors Physiology institute found that
dancing Is q fine way to speed up
metabolism. The waltz, shimmy, fox
trot increase metabolism four fold,
and the polka and mazurka increase
1t ten-foldl They found that gentle
waltzing uses up twice Is many calo-
ries a. ordinary gymnastic exercises

Peculiarities Of Justice

Some Of the things which men do
In the name Of justice are peculiar,
to say the least.
For example take the case Of Har-
ley Edwards, . murderer who was
condemned to die In the electric
chair at the Indiana state peniten-
tiary.
Driven almost insane by the fear Of
approaching death, Edwards attempt
ed to end his agony Of anticipation
by committing suicide. He slashed
his wrists and was not found until
he had lost q great deal OF blood and
was near death. Although the time
set for his execution was only . few
hours away, tho prison authorities
rushed the man to the hospital and
induced another convict to give his
blood for . TRANSMISSION in order that
tho man might be kept alive until
the hour set for his execution.
It probably Is all perfectly regular
and In keeping with the letter Of the
law, but one wonders as to the spirit
involved In such matters. To say the
least. 1t would have been much sim
pier to have let the man die. It ap-
pears that the law would have been
Just as well satisfied.

making a worse record now than six
years ago. ....
Look at the figures. In 1927 there
were 23,20o,0o0 autos in use In the
United States. In 1888 the number
was 23,800, 000-an increase Of only
20 per cent. In 1927 auto accidents
killed 1858 people: In 1888 they
killed 20 ,900-which Is q rise Of II
per cent.
These figures can mean only one
thing: That we actually are driving
with less care today than we were
six years ago. Far from learning how
to handle these new machines, we
are getting worse. Fatalities are in
creastng at q faster rate than auto
registrations.
This belief is borne out when the
factors involved in the accidents are
examined. It is revealed, for In
stance, that nearly SO per cent Of the
$4,000 people killed in 1888 died In
accidents in which drivers were ex-
ceeding the speed limit.
Eighteen per cent OF the deaths
came when drivers went off the road.
Thirteen per cent were caused by
vehicles being on the wrong side Of
the road: an equal percentage came
from some drivers failure to give the
right-of-way to a vehicle entitled to
it.
Those figures are utterly damning.
They prove, as clearly as any black
and white tabulation could prove,
that our auto death toll is going up
because Of criminal carelessness and
selfishness on the part OF the drivers.
Number Of cars in use Is only
slightly higher than it was six years
ago. The cars themselves are far
safer; they are solder, their brakes
are better, they stick to the road bet
ter. they are easier to keep under con-
troll. It Is the human element, and
1t alone, which has failed.
What are we going to do? It would
be horribly expensive to increase the
number Of city and rural traffic po-
lice five-fold. It would be q dreadful
nuisance to require, by law, the in
stallation Of automatic governors lin
ting car speeds to IS miles an hour,
or some such figure.
But it begins to look as II we shan't
make our highways even reasonably
safe until we put through some such
drastic and costly safeguards. We
must find some way Of protecting
ourselves from our own foolishness.

Helping the Farmer

In a recent attack on the govern
1nent's proposal to establish needy
persons In rural districts on subsist-
ence farms. Senator Lynn J. Frazier
pointed out that this would consti-
tute source Of competition for per-
sons already in the farming business
That this is true can hardly be de-
MED. for every mouth which feeds
itself Is one less for the commercial
producer to fill.
It Is doubtful, however, II the sena-
tors criticisms are fully justified In
view OF the existing situation. No
matter II the farmer or the manu-
facturer does lack market for his
products, every individual has right
to live and . right to assist himself
In that effort. Neither can 1t be de-
MED that II the government must
furnish people with subsistence It
should do so as cheaply Is possible
in the interest of the taxpayer. This
means that the person to DO bene-
fitted should be given as great an op-
portunity as possible to help him
self. Also. It Is doubtful II persons
who cannot finance their purchases
would add much to any market. agri-
cultural or otherwise.
Further consideration OF the situa-
ton which may prevail in North Da-
kota after the CWA Is ended on May
first, will bring many persons to
belief that our system Of highway
maintenance. both state, township
and county. might profitably be
changed In the interests Of the COM
mon welfare. II the state must take
over q part Of the relief burdens, as
now seems probable, 1t should arrange
to do so on the most satisfactory and
economical basis possible. One way
Of doing this would be to adopt q
are-the-work program with regard
to highway maintenance, permitting
more than one person to perform
the duties which now are assigned to
single individuals. Granting the fact
that the work might be carried on a
little less efficiently than now and
that the cost Of supervision might
rise q little, the benefit to be obtained
by spreading the Taxpayers money
over more families Is not to be de-
MED.
Whether or not North Dakota is
ready to look at this situation In q
non-political light may be doubtful,
but the idea Is worth considering II
general conditions do not pick up
enough to permit generally satisfac-
tory employment throughout the
countryside.
