girl found herself standing shaking
in the center Of the room, the blood
roaring wildly in her ears. She had
been asleep on that couch and
the telephone in the store-it was
ringing, had been ringing for an end

blingly she lifted the receiver from the
hook, her muted voice. mingling with
the Shrill whirr Of the bell.
"Yes, Lottie. It's Rose-I can't hear

But the news which Lottie Welch
was trying to impart over that phone
could be told in nothing less than a
shrek!

There wouldn't be many customers

peace of her own little room at home.
With her friendly, shabby books, the

Suddenly. without quite knowing

DARRON SCORES
SHOOT To KILL

Scoring the Department of JUS
tice for it's order to "shoot first,
and shoot to kill when you en-.
counter Dillinger," Clarence Dar-
row, noted criminal lawyer and
student of criminology, pointed
out today that killing was no solu.
ton Of the crime problem.
Expressing his views on John
Dillinger's career, the famous law
yer -decared:
"If John Dillinger had been
the son Of q Mellon or a Nor.
gan, he would not be q bandit.
The prisons are full of men who
lacked opportunities in their
youth. Childhood environment,
combined with heredity, is what
makes criminals. You can't do
much about these fellows after
they are grown up"
Mr.. Darrow said he had not fol-
lowed the career of the outlaw
carefully, but that he was con-
vinced that the explanation Of his
activities could be found in his
boyhood environment.

EXPERIMENTING
g. DEFENDED BY
PRESIDENT

Scoffing at assertions that his
program will eventually mean
either regimentation or revolu-
ton, President Roosevelt yester-
day made a stirring defense Of
1ong-range social experimentation
and planning as distinct from
temporary "30-day legislative
panaceaS."
He said:
when people talk about
revolution in this country, you
tell them they have one letter
too many. It is evolution"
This and other extemporaneous
remarks on the New Deal' were
made by the Chief Executive
when viewing an exhibit on sub
stStence homestead projects in
the Department Of Commerce.
The audience consisted of Mrs.
Roosevelt, several Cabinet mem
bers and a few Senators and
Representatives.
While admitting frankly that
many of the experiments of his
Administration may be unsuccess-
full, President Roosevelt indicated
that time will tell which social
projects should be retained and
which should be dropped.
The college boys" assisting in
the long-range planning were also
stoutly defended by their leader.
President Roosevelt stated:
1--WE will be able by using q
little gray matter, whether
Brain Trust or otherwise, to
discover q whole lot Of new
things that people can do"
This statement was taken as a
challenge to critics Of the sub
Gistence homestead program,
which has been attacked as "com-
munistic" by DR.. William A. Writ
and others.
Warning against "30-day legis-
lative panaceas" was clearly in
tended by President Roosevelt to
mark his opposition to several
financial measures now pending
In Congress, including silver legis.

If little May shows any talent or
any liking for the stage I'd like to

the stage. I'll do everything I can to
help her: on the other hand if she
wants to do anything else, I'll do all
I can for her along that line.
