WORRY BLAMED
BY ENGLISH IN
W|FE'SLEAP

Worry over finances and men
tai depression over the long sep
aration from her husband were
probably contributing factors to
events which eliminated in the
five-story fall of Mrs. Eucille
English from her apartment in
Embassy Towers last week.
Lieut.. Robert English, COM
mander of the flagship of the
Byrd Antarctic expedition, ad-
mitted that today at Emergency
Hospital where Mrs. English is
towering between life and death.
Although declining to comment
on the police verdict that the fall
was a suicidal leap, the officer
said that he would not demand
that the case be reopened. He
feels that there are many things
yet to be explained, he said, but
is content to let the matter rest.
He said:
Mrs. EngliSh'S life is hang
ing on a slender thread that
may snap at any moment. If
she should live she will be a
helpless cripple, on her back
for the rest Of her life.
BLAMES PSYCHOSIS
"There is no question but
that she was suffering from a
phychOsis, and we know that
when persons in that condition
take a couple of drinks they
may go haywire. Anything may
happen.
Il had no idea of her condi-
ton until this all had hap
pened. 1 knew, of course, that
she was worried.
Finances were one thing.
Although I was detached from
duty and ordered to go with
the Byrd expedition, my pay
had been cut to Is per cent.
THAT made a big difference.
1t meant she had to take a job,
and finances were problem.
"And then of course she was
depressed by my long absence.
"But / did not sense how much.
She wrote to me every day or
two.
LETTERS CHEERFUL
eve spent the winters in
New Zealand, and there we
had mail steamer once a
month. Each boat brought me
q big package of letters.
They all sounded cheerful.
She seemed happy and con.
tented. There was an under
current of loneliness, but the
past few months there was the
anticipation of my home
coming.
"She wrote how happy she
was that the long trip was
almost at an end, that soon
we would be together again.
And when did arrive we were
both happy and cOntented.
Il realize now that the long
absence had played havoc with
her nerves, that the worry and
my long absence had been a
terrific strain"

| for homes that might be located on
private roads off state roads.
How may the residence numbers
be placed on the highway map to be
of help to the public? BY placing
on the highway map at each cor
poration line in red figures the last
residence number, and by this way
you may tell which way each route
is numbered, and get some idea as
to where your number might be To-
Gated which you might wish to
find.
What would be the structure of
the numbers? A steel post and a
steel plate with a white background
and the number in black.
editors Note: We believe Mr..
Combs suggestion is good that
there should be some better way to
locate certain places along high
ways We have believed for some
time that this could be solved by
requiring names on every mail box.
The plan such as Mr.. Combs sug-
gests would require the numbering
of all county and township roads,
the same as are the national and
state roads at present We have
felt that this should be done. With
our unmarked county and town
ship roads, it is more difficult to
get many places in Morgan county,
than it is to Chicago, over the well
marked routes. Since the mail
boxes on the routes are numbered,
then to give every residence num-
Der, confusion might arise, unless
the numbering should be the same.
The Beverly board of trade
adopted Mr.. Combs
plan, and it has also been taken up
with the Marietta chamber of COM
merce, and other similar organiZa-
tions.
