! that it was indecent for young
girls to be out after dark.
She Is charged with beating her
father. Trigg Maxwell. 50, to death
with a shoe, at their cabin, near
the Trail of the Lonesome Pine, ="
when he attempted to spank her
for staying out until nearly mid
night.
But that IS only the technical
points in the case.
The true battle when Edith goes
on trial before H. A. Skeen. the
spectacled mountain judge, is be-
tween the o'clock curfew of "the
Pound" and the right Of modern
youth TO come and go es il pleas
es.
Miss Maxwell says she killed in
defense. Her attorneys, w. w.
Dotson and A. A. Skeen. will base
her case on doctrines of the mod
ern world. 1t will be a stubborn
last stand of the Blue Ridge Noun
tains against the invading dogmas
OF the outside world.
Miss Maxwell will take the stand
with hopes of freeing herself and
her 48-year- -old mother, who also
is accused in the death of the vii
lage 'Smithy"
The country school teacher said
she will tell how on Saturday
night. July 90 she came into Wise
and met young, strapping Ray
mond Mead, her 22-year-old neigh
Dor. She asked for a ride home in
his automobile.
Miss Maxwell reached home
shortly before midnight. Her moth
er, she said. was angry with her
for keeping late hours. The creed
Of the mountains and modern
youth were thrown together in open
conflict.
The father believed in the cur
few tradition of his forefathers-
that unmarried girls and women
OF whatever age, even those of q
who earn their living by teaching
school. must be in the home by sun
down. To ignore it is admission
of indecency and a disgrace of con-
duct.
The teacher said her father hac
resented every mode of new living
brought to ''the Pound" He was
diSpleased with her going away tc
school at East Raeford Teachers
College. East Raeford. Va. He con-
demned even the highways which
are invading the hill country his
daughter said.
Miss Maxwell said her father
lectured her and attempted to beat
her. There was furious argument.
Miss Maxwell resisted. and to pro-
tect herself seized the nearest OBJ
/ ject.
By strange irony she grabbed a
high-heel slipped bought while at
tending normal school. She alleg-
edly beat her father on the head
with it. During the night he died.
State attorneys say the girl. her
mother. and her 11-year- r-old sis
ter. Mary Catherine, tried to deny
the quarrel. They said Maxwell
fell, striking his head on a meat
block. Physicians who examined
Maxwell found he was struck four
times on the head.
Miss Maxwell and her mother
were arrested. The mother later
was released on bond. The girl was
held without bond and later, ac-
cording to officers. confessed strik-
ing her father.

FOURTH EPIC
OF DE MILES
FILM CYCLE

Although Cecil B. DeMille is the
arch-enemy of motion picture cy-
cleS, he confesses TO having a cycle
OF his own.
The Crusades'," says DeAfille,
belongs to the cycle which I start
ed with The Ten Commandments. IS
''T'he Crusades." with Henry Will
eoxon and Loretta Young heading
a cast OF 10000 comes today to the
United Artists theatre.
People talk of me as being a
producer OF religious pictures. but
there have been very few Of my 90
productions which have had a re-
ligious background. 7 made them
all with a definite, connecting pur-
pose.
Thus, The Ten Commandments
represented the giving Of the Law.
The King of Kings is the Inter
probation of the Law. Sign of the
Cross is the Preservation Of the
Law and now The Crusaders will
depict the Defense of the Law.
THE Bible is undoubtedly the
greatest source of fine screen liter
ature,~ DeMille said. The surface
has scarcely been scratched because
producers are afraid that they viii
scare audiences away if there is any
intimation OF preaching. I had a
hard time convincing producers OF
the screen value of my first three
religious pictures. yet they turned
out to be three of the biggest sue
cesses in the history of motion pic
lures"
DeMille has great plans for fur
ther excursions into Biblical liter
ature. The dream OF his life. he
said, is TO film the story of Paul
of Tarsus, and he already has a
mental outline of this picture.
King David and Joseph are two
other characters which intrigue
him, while Samson and Delilah
has already been decided on as one
Of his pictures for the near future.

Many are the reasons why Mex
leo, whose. main attractions have
existed since ancient days, has only
in recent years become a great
tourist attraction. Among them are
the following:
l. Mexico has enjoyed an era of
peace since the 1929 revolution.
2. Land and air transportation
to Mexico has greatly improved.
Mexican airlines now connect with
the principal United States routes,
SO that it is possible to fly from
Los Angeles to Mexico City in II
hours, and from New York to Mex
leo City in 49, Railroad service be-
tween the United States and Mex
leo, via Laredo, El Paso or NogaleS
has been vastly improved and
speeded up. Furthermore, the Pan
American highway, connecting Lar
edo and Mexico City, virtually has
been completed, and is already in
use while the finishing touches are
being made On the other hand,
sea transportation between the
Gulf ports and New York is infer
ior to what it was two years ago,
but on the longer route, from the
Pacific port of Mazatlan to New
York via the Panama Canal there
is better service.
3. Favorable exchange. Former
ly, United States dollar was worth
two Mexican dollars. Since 1881,
however, it is worth and clio. And
when the New Deal took the Unit
ed States dollar off gold, it there
by indirectly reduced tourism to
gold" countries and encouraged it
to such countries as Mexico, where
the American dollar was still at a
premium.
Completion after 80 years of
construction-of the Marble Fine
Arts Palace in Mexico City has
served to make it one of the most
important convention sites in the
new world.
Sights to see in Mexico are in
Vulnerable and are as colorful as
any, anywhere. 1t has snow-capped
volcanoes, deserts and mountain
ranges, pyramids and temples of
the Toltecs, AZtecs and Mayans,
tropical sea-coasts and inland
lakes; floating gardens at Xochi-
milco; bull-fights, cockfights, and
jai-ali, golf, tennis, baseball, Soc
Ger, American football, and rugby;
motoring and horseback riding; In
dian festivals and goth century
jazz; climates of all sorts, and a
change of diet for every region.
While the government has done
much to encourage visitors coming
TO Mexico, it frankly does not make
any pretense of furnishing them
with amusement. AS Jose Angel
Cenciceros, the acting secretary for
foreign affairs, himself SO candidly
said recently:
Present day excursions are not,
nor should they be, for purposes of
pleasure and idleness, luxury or
frivolity. For such purposes Mex
leo does not present to travellers
the attractiveneSs of other regions
where great satisfaction can be
derived from the pleasure resorts
of their communities, the casinos,
the beaches, the bright lights and
shadows of the large cities.
THE travellers sense the physical
impression of security that permits
them to travel from one end of the
republic to the other, with all the
safety that can be had in any part
of the world"
Some travellers are unaware of
this situation. They've been told
that Mexico City is like Paris.
The resemblance is only physical
one, for the Emperor Maximilian,
in his brief reign 1863-186O, laid
out boulevards and avenues in Mex
leo City on plan somewhat sim
liar TO that prevailing in Paris.

Varied Diet Assures
Growth and Health
BY DR. Il FISHBEIN
Editor. Journal OF the Americas Medical Association
and Of HyReia. the Health MAGAZINE

Vary your daily diet to cover all the usual food
Stuffs eaten BY human beings, and you Will have the
necessary substances for health and growth.
This is the important conclusion made from re-
cent studies OF foods and nutrition.
1t is doubtful If any desire Of mankind is greater
than the necessity for alienation Of hunger. Hunger
however. Is satisfied by almost any food that is put
Into the body. whereas the maximum nutrition Is
gained only by the right foods taken in the right
amounts.
Primitive men depended on their instincts and APP
petites for the choice or the right foods. We know
today that these instincts and sppetites cannot al
WAYS be trusted.
They are much less to be trusted. however. In our
modern times. when the choice Of foods is so ire
mendous. when foods have been sophisticated to a
great extent. and when the advertising appeal Is add
ed to the normal appeal Of hunger and appetite.
In a recent survey. Sir Frederick GoWland Hop
kins. who some years ago was awarded the Nobel
prize for his work in nutrition. points out that our
real modern knowledge Of nutrition begins with the
work Of Leibig in 1910.
Leibig is credited with having established the view
that the proteins of food when eaten are easily, d.
rectiy. and almost unchanged built into the tissues Of
the person who eats them. on the other hand. the
fats and carbohydrates. or sugars. represent fuel
which Is burned in the body to supply heat and
energy.
Since the time Of Leibig, some Of our views regard
ing the usefulness OF proteins and carbohydrates in
the body have changed. Today we know that there
are several types OF protein which differ in their
chemical organization and in the manner in which
the body may use them for its own growth and for
repair Of tissues.
The proteins in food which can be used TO the
greatest value BY the human body are those which
- al - afa arcaptfal SrihxkanreS called
amino-acids in such relative proportions as CORE
spond most nearly with the proportions required BY
the tissues OF the consumer. These are called first
class proteins and also proteins Of high biological
value.
The animal p~roeinS are those which rank highest
in such values. The average human being needs
from 80 to 100 grams Of protein a day TO remain IN
health and In a satisfactory state Of nutrition.
AS TO the fats and the carbohydrates, we now
know that both arc required by the human body in
certain proportions. and we know also that each
class among foodstuffs has special functions. The
fats are not properly used by the body in the abb
sence Of carbohydrates.

Money Spent To Save Lives

AS President Roosevelt points out. the terrible &C
cident in Maryland in which II children were killed
when a train hit a school bus Is a pointed argument
in favor Of the big grade crossing elimination prof.
ect which is to be a part Of the governments new
work-relief program. .
Given the best automatic warning equipment that
can be devised and the utmost care on the part Of
motorists the grade crossing is bound TO be danger
Gus. There will always be occasions when a motor
ist fails to see the warning signals and does not
hear the bell or whistle.
As long as We have mainline grade crossings We
are going 10 have a certain number Of tragedies like
this one in Maryland.
Between $1,000 900 and 500. 100000 will be
spent to eliminate grade crossings. From every
angle. II will be money well spent.
