adds:
~If the overweight amounts to III
health, Of course, the candidate
shouldn't be given q position. But
TO say arbitrarily that a fat teacher
Is disqualified would exclude some
fine teachers. In the case In Ques-
ton, ! wonder whether overweight
was the real reason for dismissal - I
don't know. I'm just suggesting that
there may be some features which
haven't appeared"
DR.. Harry d. KitSon, who heads
the department of vocational guild
ance and personnel. said that the
rule as to weight was not made on
the basis Of the individuals skill as
a teacher. He remarks:
Nobody knows TO what extent
skill In teaching is related TO avoir-
dupois. But this could perhaps be
arrived at by investigation"
Waist Measurement Unimportant
Have you found" I asked, that
the waist measurement has anything
to do with efficiency along other
lines?"
mo, they don't seem TO be related.

the third making the largest COM
missions and the third making the
smallest commissions. I then com
pared the height and weight Of
the large earners and the height and
weight OF the small earners and
learned there was little difference
between them.
"In other words. there's nothing to
the theory that the salesman with

Better To BE Normal

Better To BE Normal
DR.. Willard S. Elsbree believes that
teachers as well as insurance men
should aspire to strike the fVppy av-
erage.
ANY teacher" says DR.. Elsbree,
who deviates n~oticeablv from the
normal is not the best type. A teach
er whose appearance is peculiar in
any way not only doesn't obtain the
best results from his pupils but fails
to sell himself to the general public.
I'VE want to get away from any
thing which makes teachers seem
different - from anything which
makes people say: I can always tell
a teacher by looking at him.
However. I don't believe that fat
has anything to- do with teaching
ability. In cases where a teacher has
been employed and has shown him
self efficient, I believe that q hoard
should not enforce too art rily
any rule as to height. weight. and
so on"
DR.. Paul r. Mort thinks that II Is
foolish to get hot and bothered over
the fairness or thinnesS Of teachers,
or any other trivalities.

DEATHS OF Is
Amazing Confession
Of rs Murders Made
BY Man Held While
Yarn Checked

AUBURN. Calf. Aug. 23.-P-
Skeptical officers sought Friday 70
check the amazing story Of an ad-
mitted slayer that the bodies Of Is
additional victims lie in the hills
near here.
Sheriff Elmer II. Gum organized
q party to search for two graves
described by Earl Bud) Kimball,
alias Cramer, who confessed he kill
ed James O.. Kennett. ST., a retired
Chicago contractor, and a 17-year-
old youth believed to be T. Man
gan, a CoIfax. Calf, CCC worker.
Given Locations
Kimball told his gruesome story
10 a group Of newsmen who had
sought to question him about the
disappearance recently Of q man
known ~variously as Fred Realing
or Griling.
The Sayings, Kimbail asserted,
took place during the two years the
2l-year-old itinerant ~prospector
has been in this vicinity.
The reporters were given pur-
ported locations OF the bodies Of
two men identified as j. j. CRad-
ium) johnson, q proSpector, and
Realing or Griling. q mine camp
caretaker. both missing.
OF three more victims for whose
deaths he claimed responsibility,
Kimball would give only meager de-
tails and he fatty refused to discuss
who the 20 other victims might be
until the bodies" OF Johnson and
Realing or Griling had been founo.
Quickly the story Of Kimball was
carried TO the amazed and non
plussed sheriff.
Robbery Motive
The officer agreed that "some Of
the men named by Kimball as his
victims have been missing, but ne
pointed to the obvious impossible
ty to make any immediate check OF
the weird story.
The victims named by Kimball.
n they were killed, lie buried miles
back in the mountains.
Kennett's battered body was
found Thursday when an abandon
ed, water-filled gold mine shaft
was drained. The body Of the youth
had been found earlier, floating in
the water OF a nearby shaft.
The motive for the two Sayings
apparently had been robbery.

EXPENSIVE FEES
FOR AIDING PWA
MAY Be PROBED
Nebraska Attorney Asks
$4,000 for Counsel
on Two Projects.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22-Arthur
Mullen's attempt 10 collect from two
public recipients of PWA funds a
fee seven times his annual retainer
from the Cities Service Co may
bring demands for a general inves-
tigation of the extent to which work
relief funds are being paid to ex-
pensive legal counsel and, in par
ticular, an investigation of the part
Mullen is playing in moldlng project
policies in Nebraska
Mullen has asked two water au-
thorities, organized in Nebraska to
develop projects on the Loup and
North Platte Rivers, to pay him
S175,000 for his services, the ma
ture of which is somewhat obscure.
The North Platte project, billed
for 100000 of the fee, has for
months been fighting PWA grants
TO a third undertaking in Nebraska,
the Tri-County Irrigation and
Power project. Tri-County, spon
sored by Senator George w. Norris,
includes development Of public cleo
trio power
Asked TO Fight Itself
However, PWA is in the position
of being asked to approve eXpendi-
ture of funds allocated to one
project for use in fighting another
approved project.
Part of the Mullen fee IS said to
cover his services in intervening, be-
fore the United States Supreme
Court, in a suit brought by Nebraska
against wyoming over water rights
He again represents the North
Platte project in this activity, which
is directed primarily against the
Casper Alcova and Seminole River
projects in Wyoming. These, again,
were financed with PWA funds, and
expects to develop publicly owned
electric power.
Mullen is a former Democratic
national committeeman from Ne
braska. He resigned under pressure
when the Roosevelt Administration
began us QIlVe against PdlCy VI
ficials who maintain law offices in
Washington or lobby here.
PWA Would Pay Indirectly
Mullens fee, if he collects it, will
be paid, not by PWA but by the two
water authorities Their funds, how
ever, are received from PWA, and
they account to PWA for their eX-
penditures. A clause in the blanket
contract between PWA and public
agencies entities the Federal agency
to withhold future funds if it dis
approves Of expenditures.
Early in the life of PWA, Secre-
tary Ickes sent out word that no ap-
plicant for funds need hire anybody
to get funds. Later, when PWA'S
legal staff began to function, its
services were offered to state Of
f1cials needing cooperation in get
ting rid of legal obstacles to PWA
loans or grants.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN
THIS summer, Jean was disc

THIS summer, Jean was discov-
Il. ering, was not one in which
that priced possession, her peace of
mind, was really f1ourishing.
She had begun the summer in
a settled groove. Bobby was al
ways lowering near, like familiar
and beloved spirit; when she looked
to the future, she always had a
somewhat hazy picture of herself as
Mrs. Robert Wallace, presiding over
a cozy little apartment or pleas
ant little house in some suburban
subdivision.
She had known Bobby from boy
hood; for at least three years,
now, sns had more or less taken it
for granted that some day she
would become his wife.
But of late this familiar picture
had become disarranged Into the
quiet routine of her daily life had
come a new figure: long, athletic
young man from the west, who had
a lazy draWl and a hooking smile
which both disturbed and faSclnat-
ed her, and who for some unac-
countable reason seemed to move in
the very aura of romance, so that
her pulse seemed to beat a little
faster every time she saw him.
When he was with her she found
herself saying things and thinking
things that she had not intended
to say and think; when he was not
with her his image had a way Of
popping into her mind at the most
unexpected times-like, for example
that evening when he had suddenly
come between her and Bobby at the
very moment when Bobby was max
ing his most ardent proposal
So the old familiar picture of her
self as Bobby Wallace's wife seemed
TO be getting a little out of focus

MARY KINDER?
NO, SHE'S THREE
OTHER PERSONS
Woman Who Assumed
Name of DiIIinger 'MoII'
in Tolls of Law.

Although she has possessed three
names by marriage, Mrs. Mary
Senoria, "a, of 17O5 Naomi-st, took
another unto herself today-that of
Mary Kinder, former Dillinger
gang mol.
But her masquerade didn't last
long, and when the science Of
fngerprinting called her turn, Mrs.
Senoria admitted she only had "ac-
quired" the Kinder name.
Mrs. Senoria was arrested early
today after she is alleged to have
been knocked from a taxi by her
companion of last nights revalry-
Charles Link, 30, of 1907 N. Talbot
st. She was found in the street a
few blocks from her home and Link
was arrested at 632 Madison -av, with
Mrs. Cleo Seibert, who lives there.
Calls Names, Kicks
Link told police Mrs. Senoria
called him names, kicked him in the
face. He said he retaliated with a
hook to the jaw that sent her
spraying out of the cab.
At City Hospital they treated her
first, as Mary Lane and then as
Mary Kinder-for cuts and bruises.
When police escorted her to the City
Prison she said she was Mary
Kinder.
And, again this morning, appear
ing in Municipal Court for prelimi-
nary hearing, she repeated the as
sumed name.
1t was not until Bert Perrott, po-
lice Bertillon expert, found her fin
gerprints didn't check with Mary's,
that Mrs. Senoria admitted the fal-
sity.
These aren't Mary Kinders fin
gerprints,' Perrott charged.
L know it," she answered.
You gave that name" he added
L know it." she said.
She Didn't Know
When Perrott asked her why, she
said she didn't know. She later told
reporters that she never had seen
Mary Kinder and that she had a
few drinks and decided to rename
herself.
In addition to the Kinder name,
Mrs. Senoria, now divorced by Paul
Senoria, has been married to Will
liam Schlenner and Tom higgins,
both dead. Her maiden name was
Willis, she volunteered. Neighbors
said they knew her as Mary Lane.
Tomorrow Mrs. Senoria, nee Will
lis, and also higgins, Schlenner and
Lane, and alias Mary Kinder, will
appear in court with Mrs. Seibert
and Link

CHAPTER THIRTEEN Continued
"Well-at last I've been able tc
get hold of you" he said in mock
anger. 'Where've you been hiding
yourself these last few days?'
Il haven't been hiding, Bobby. I've
been busy"
SO? It's year since I've seen
you. Listen, honey, I've got lots to
tell you-why not let me take you
out to dinner tOnight?"
She was on the verge of refusing
but a sudden impulse made her
change her mind and consent; anc
so, an hour later, she sat opposite
Bobby in pleasant little chop suey
restaurant and saw his boyish, en-
thusiastic face beaming at her from
across a little table.
Bobby was full of news and high
spirits. He had had another talk
with Mr.. Montague, who had, in the
days since Bobby's first conference
with him, made brief checkup on
the bonds which Bobby was offering
him; and he had formally agreed
to buy them, so that Bobby was to
get them from Mr. Lewis that eve
ming and make delivery the follow
ing morning.
Jean, it's going to mean S150C
cash for me-" he said exultantly
Il can get little carl know of a
little demonstration roadster I can
get for $500 cash-and put about
$1,000 in the bank. And then,
Jean honey, will you marry me?"
He leaned across the table to
take her hand. Jean smiled at him.
Bobby why all the rush?"
she asked lightly.
Well, doggone it," he began;
then he dropped his light, banter
ing air and became intensely Sc
rious. Needless of the other diners,
he leaned closer toward her and said
softly, Jean, I worship the air you
breathe. I want to marry you and
care for you and live for you and
spend all the rest of my life trying
to make you happy"
His youthful earnestness, the
whole -souled affection that lit his
face-that face she had known since
earliest acknowledgements a wave
of tenderness into jeans breast
and she suddenly, to her utter
amazement, found herslf thinking
Dear Bobby! I'd marry you in a
minute-if it weren't for Sandy!
