WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. WP)-
New dealers cling to slim hope
that in the 73rd congress they
can head off legislation to pay
war veterans all or part of their
adjusted service compensation.
The cost of outright cash bonus
payment would be $4,000 900.
Rep. Wright Patman, D., Tex,
will offer a bill on the first day
Of the session to pay that sum.
His bill would authorize currency
inflation-printing press money
TO raise the money.
Approximately SO other bonus
bills are in preparation.
President Roosevelt is on record
against cashing adjusted service
certificates so long as the treas
ury budget is unbalanced. He took
that position in the 1882 presi-
Dental campaign and last au-
tumn stated it again although in
different form. Addressing a Vir-
ginia veterans audience in Oct
ober, Mr.. Roosevelt said world
war veterans were better off on
the average than any other group
of citizens. Therefore, he explain
ed, it would be administration
policy to give other groups first
call on treasury relief.
The American Legion conven-
tion in Miami, nevertheless, rec
commended that the compensation
certificates be cashed Immediate
ly. Individual candidates for house
and senate were put on record
by war veterans throughout the
United States on the bonus issue.

Editors Note: The break
in the Lindbergh case, anticipat-
ed quietly for months by the dill
gent detectives whose life work
had become solution of the
crime, came in the middle of
September, 1884, 80 months after
Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr, had
been stolen from his crib in Hope
well. The story of the arrest is
told in the following dispatch,
ninth in the series by Sidney b.
Whipple.
Copyright, 1884, BY United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-On the
morning of September Is, 1894, a
blue Dodge sedan was driven up to
a gas pump in a Manhattan filling
station. The man at the wheel
handed $40 gold certificate to
Walter Lyle, in payment for five
gallons of gasoline.
You don't see many of these
any more,' Lyle remarked, finger
ing the note.
"No, I guess you DON'T" said
the customer. "I've only got few
left myself-about a hundred OF
them.''
Lyle gave the man his change
and mechanically, in accordance
with Jimmy Finn Instructions
wrote the figures "4U-13-41" on
the back of the $40 certificate.
Detectives in Pursuit
Within six hours, after the GER
tificate had been deposited in a
branch of the Corn Exchange Bank
Trust company, three co-ordinated
groups of detectives, federal, state
and city, were hotly pursuing the
trail of Bruno Richard Hauptmann,
owner of car license 4U-13-31. They
found him as he was emerging from
the driveway of his modest home in
the far Bronx, and they trailed him
assiduously for five days before
laying on his shoulder the hand of
arrest.
Unconscious of the shadow, Bruno
Hauptmann went about the city,
visiting the haunts in which it was
his custom to sit for hours, over a
seidel of beer.
On the morning of September l8,
he drove the blue sedan out of his
garage as usual. But as he passed
into a roadway, a police car edged
him to the curb. Seven men, head
ed by Acting Lieutenant James
Finn, leaped toward his automo-

nERHAPS the most sardonic chapter in the
long story of mankind'S endeavors to limit
human activities by law, is that which deals
with the laws attempts to trap in its clumsy net
the emotion of love.
Liquor is hard enough to harness, but it's vet
more concrete than love. Even the old Greeks.
who didn't set half as much store by the senti-
mental passion as we modern Americans profess
to do, saw the essential difficulty. They equipped
Eros, the Love-God, with wings symbolizing
MS notorious habit of lightly flying away. They
gave him bow and sharp arrows, which he fired
helter-skelter into human hearts, the wrong
hearts as often as the right. And they made him
blind, thus suggesting his complete lack of judg-
ment as to whom he shot or whittier he flew.
There you have pretty good picture of the
emotion which law seeks solemnly to keep within
bounds. How does it come about that the law
must try to harness love? Simply because the
home is the one institution which the law regards
as the very foundation of society-and in pres
ent-day America it is taken for granted that the
home in turn rests upon the emotion of love.
TO the Greeks that wasn't so, and to other peo-
pies such as the French today, it isn't neces-
sarily 50; the home in France rests upon a busi-
ness arrangement, making it easier for the law to
step in and protect But we are sentimental
people, inheriting full dose of idealistic chiv-
airy along with the English common-law, and
affected, besides, by recent theories
about freedom and sex-quality. All of which has
brought about a merry situation.
II the Greeks had equipped Eros with gold
bag, or a fountain pen and checkboOk, and shown
him paying five-figure and six-figure fines when
pressed the American condition.

designed to make somebody pay for loves flights
after marriage Let's analyze the second.
The theory in both instances is, that money
payment will compensate the loser, who in prac-
tice is generally the abandoned female In alien
alton suits, there is the further theory-often q
legal fiction-that when love has flown out of
married couples window, some particular out
side person is to blame. It's queer theory.
So we have abandoned wives and ex-wives
suing mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, "other. wo-
men," the ex-husbands' sweethearts, and even
sometimes business associates and friends, asking
damages for the loss of affections that had
been worth very little to begin with.
Study Of scores Of recent cases shows that
100000 has come to be regarded as the stand
ard sum demanded by the plaintiffs attorneys on
the "love-theft" claim. They seldom ask lower
than $5O,O00, and there have been few cases
where $5O0,OO0 has been demanded. or even

into amazing figures
The ironic thing about it is, that the major
premises on which the law bases its decisions in
such matters, are very seldom humanity true.
If person has been really in love, and the
loved one has fitted, no amount Of cash can be
regarded as compensation and in fact cash
couldn't touch or heal the central wound at all.
If a person hasn't been in love with his or her
mate, or has ceased to love, then for him or her
to sue for alienation of affections is a hollow
piece OF hypocrisy.
Only in the occasional case where a wife is
left with children to rear and no alimony or
other provision has been made for their support,
does it seem humanity reasonable that an outside
party should pay. That's business proposition
and an important one. But the future fate of the
family, not the past loss of the mans love, is the
real point in that case. Who can price love?
THE second basis is often quite as fctional. In
how many actual cases is the departure of
love from married couples domicile definitely
the fault OF any outside person?
If man is quarrelsome, or a woman petty
and jealous, or they get to hating each other
from any Of the thousand causes or conditions
that make home life 90 difficult nowadays,
unhappy wife turns her wandering glances be
blamed, and forced to pay money penalty?
Should the blonde to whom the heart-aching hus-
band turns in despair for his wrecked domestic
romance be singled out by jury and held
legally responsible?
Yes, it's pretty irOnic that the wife who has
come to regard her husband as a worthless brute
and "paSchudniak," should turn around and
evaluate his lost affections at $5O,000 500, 900
or whatever the "other womanS" purse will bear.

WOOL MARKET

Boston, Jan 6 - (UP) - New prices on domestic stocks of wool are comparatively low and all for eign market prices are above par ity with the American market. some varieties being 10 cents or higher. H
 Activity in the Boston market has not yet recovered it's pace but some buying has taken place and prices remained firm with a ten dency upward. Failure of the trade to press supplies on the market was indicativeof confidence.
 The U. s. department of agri- culture report said to-day: "Dc- mand for wool was very limited in the Boston market during the past week. A few sales of moderate volume in GAS and finer domestic lines were closed at steady prices, compared with sales during the previous two weeks. Asking prices generally were firm despite the very restricted buying. Emphatic ally contrasted with the dullness in the Boston market, foreign wool markets were active and pricej, made further advances over the previous week. The strength of the advance in prices abroad, however had little effect in stimulating buy ing or bringing about any rise III prices in domestic wools.'
