nor is there any record that he
has requested any special books
except a Bible.
For several months he largely
occupied himself with writing an
autobiography, which he hoped
could be printed and sold to swell
his defense fund.
THE manuscript came to me
all written in German longhand."
said Col. Kimberling. Il had the
whole thing translated and it
amounted to 218 typewriter pages
about $4,000 words.
Hauptmann seems able to ex-
press himself quite intelligently in
German. No. the Board of Prison
Managers has not vet released the
manuscript ior publication.
Prisoners in the death house are
not permitted to leave their cells
for exercise. and so Hauptmann'
face has the usual prison pallor.
He is permitted to write six let
ters and receive two each month.
Mrs. Anna Hauptmann visits him
twice a month. but frequently has
exceeded that official limit by 60
ing in with c. Lloyd Fisher. de-
Tense attorney, whose calls are not
restricted.
Mrs. Emma GlOeckner. his sis
ter. has seen him twice. He has
not seen his son. Manfred. but
Col. Kimberling doubts that such
a visit could be prevented if the
prisoner should insist upon it.

Il chats with the Methodist
chaplain of the prison, the Rev.
John Goorley, but has chosen as
his spiritual adviser the Rev. D.
G. Werner, of New York, a Lu-
theran minister.
DR.. Werner comes to Trenton
once a week and talks with
Hauptmann about half an hour.
No visitors other than those
named will be admitted. Haupt-
mann can not be seen or inter-
viewed by the press.
There is a radio in the corri-
dor, controlled by the keepers
and turned off at 10 o'clock each
evening. Hauptmann always re-
quests musical programs.
During the early weeks of his
confinement he wrote the words
and music of a song-"a sort OF
love song" is the only available
description of it. He tried to or
ganize a death-houSe quartet, but
didn't get much cooperation.
His cell contains a bunk, with
mattress and blankets, a table,
a chair, and toilet facilities. On
one wall are pasted about Is pic
lures of his wife and child.
He is not allowed to read news
papers, but some Of the pictures
are reproductions clipped from
newspapers and admitted on Mrs.

students adequately in the safe prac-
tice of obstetrics. While there has
been improvement in recent years in
most schools, medical students must
be given much more experience with
deliveries before they are let loose on
the world. Whether doctors like this
type of practice or not, maternity
cases will be coming their way. and
not only should they be ready with
sufficient knowledge and experience
to care for normal cases, but should
know when to call in wiser heads when
difficulties present themselves.
In addition. medical schools and
hospitals must make provision for
refresher courses for groups of local
practitioners, so that they may keep up
with recent advances in practice and
maintain active contact with the lead
ers of obstetrical service in their COM
munities. 1t is not enough for experts
to find fault with the mistakes and
Shortcomings of their colleagues.
They must provide facilities more or
less continuously so that the rank and
file may have opportunity to increase
their skill in obstetrics and thus

make up for their defective instruction
in earlier years.
Despite the many difficulties that
will be presented, the problem must
be solved. The situation is serious
enough to demand a thorough-going
and coordinated effort to wipe out a
blot which has disgraced us for dec
ades.
There is nothing more pressing;
there is nothing more stirring than
this challenge. We must provide
throughout the country good prenatal
and confinement care for all prospec-
tive mothers - on a financial basis
that the general run of folks can
afford. 1t is not sufficient for US to
salve our conscience on Mothers Day
by casting a white carnation on the
grave of the mother who died that her
child might live; we must rather apply
our knowledge and experience so that
these women need not die.
We cannot pretend to high order
of civilization when We play fast and
loose with the lives of young women
who are bringing children into the
world.

the leaders of public opinion to recog-

When that decision has been made,
it will be a relatively simple matter to

Obviously, this program will not be
achieved without struggle. Many

position. Patience and convincing
demonstration will be required to

night in the barn. He can sleep there
in the kitchen in peace this one last
night. because they'll be sure to get
him in the morning."
Through the long darkness she kept
her vigil. croucbed before the window
of the barn loft, her eyes strained
toward the clearing where the house
stood. her ears sharp for any sound.
With some difficulty she had carried
Baldur up the ladder. and while she
sat wrapped in two horse blankets,
his warm body pressed close against
her side. The rife she had laid against
the wall under the window; it was
there only because it would have been
unwise to leave it in the house where,
after time, would waken. not an
innocent, unscarred boy, but a man in
the dangerous extremity of terror.
The sweet reek of the hay piled to
the rafters filed her nostrils, and from
below the darkness sighed with the
breathing of the beasts in their stalls.
Occasionally a mouse squeaked like a
nail on glass, and she would quiet
Baldur's low growl with word and
touch of her hand.
But all through the night it was not
the pitiful guest in her house who filled
her mind. It was Aleck Stewart. and
the fear that never again would his
eyes look upon her with that warmth
which she knew now made the mystery
and the wonder and beauty that was
life. She had seen his eyes, there in the
house this evening. turn cold with
contempt for her and her closed, un-
natural heart. How could she ever
make him see that miracle had come
upon her. and that she was woman
now?
1t was near dawn, and the clouded
east was like gray birds wing with
blood on its under-side, when Jensine
saw the kitchen door open cautiously.
TITS opening like someone drawing
painful BREATH" she thought, and
sat rigid.
Then, as the half-crouching figure
appeared. she shut her eyes. She did
not want to see the wakened face.
And when she looked again. the man
was running, running, through the
woods southwark, as the river ran.
She had done the chores and was
preparing her simple breakfast when
there was knock at the door. She
swung it wide, and it was Aleck
Stewart who stood there, a curious,
crooked smile on his face, and his
eyes not bitter but wondering in a sad
way.
MAY ! come in, Jensine?" he asked,
almost difidently.
Of course, Aleck," she said. and
her hand went to her beating throat.
A look Of surprise flashed across his
face. but he sat down and began turn
ing his cap about in his hands.

heavily. Il came up to tell you that

starlight. But he said nothing and she

others.
She went back to the house and

ERE TEACHERS HOLD
WELL ATTENDED AND
INTERESTING MEETING
All County Teachers Present; DIR.
Daugherty from Boone and
Others Speak

The ERE teachers in this county
held an interesting and well attended
meeting at the West Jefferson
schoolhouse last Thursday when the
district supervisor, Mr.. Sorrells was
present. Mrs. J. Clyde Kelly, county
supervisor, was in charge of the pro-
gram which took up various phases
of the work that is being carried on.
The ERE program is being put on
throughout the United States in an
effort to stamp out illiteracy and
teach adults many things that they
were either denied as children or
failed to take advantage of. Plans
are being made for county COM
mencement of adult students on May
18th. The program will he announced
later, but the public will be invited
to attend and urged to acquaint itself
with the work of the ERE teachers
and students.
The program as carried out last
Thursday was as follows: Welcome,
J. Clyde Kelly; Object of meeting,
Mrs. Kelly; Work in the district, Mr..
Sorrells; Work in Ashe county, Mr..
Hash.
Short talks were made by ERE
teachers Mrs. johnson, Mrs. Houck,
Mrs. Perry, Miss O'Neal, and Mr.. A.
C.. Black.
Professors Wade E. Eller and G. B.
Price spoke of the tie-up that should
be between the public school system
and the ERE students. DR.. Daugherty
concluded the program with a most
interesting address on his pet theme
of education.
Miss Ruth Reeves entertained the
group with a comic recitation.

48O APPLICATIONS TO
CREDIT ASSOCIATION
FROM THIS DISTRICT

L. E. Francis, secretary and treas
urer of this district of the Winston
Salem Production Credit Association,
was in the city this week in the in
terest of his work. He states that
there are 480 applications from this
district in the Winston-Salem office.
Loans are made to farmers for crops,
cattle, or remodeling houses.
Frequently immediate loans are
made from the cash loan fund Of
$500. For example, borrower made
application for loan of $135 Friday
night and received his money Satur-
day morning. Mr.. Francis stated. The
association then offers his note for
rediscount with the Federal Interme-
diate Credit Bank. If it accepts the
note it replaces the amount redis-
counted; if it is rejects the offering
the association hold the nate as it's
own personal obligation. The associa-
ton makes loans on a conservative
basis and therefore all of the notes
closed from the cash loan fund have
been accepted by the Federal Inter-
mediate Credit Bank. 1t has closed a
total of $685. from the cash loan
fund.
The association has disbursed to
the farmers in this territory $63, 481,
has $4,790 in transient with the Fed
eral intermediate Credit Bank and
has in transient with the subsidiary
officers an estimate of $4,000, max
ing total of $78,271 loaned this sea-

The Ashe County Corn-Hog Control

official set-up during the past week
and officers are now working to COM

Mr.. Mcmillan states that interest
so far is not as high as it was last
year. He says there is no dissatisfac-
ton with the money paid or the asso-
citation in general and that he is sure
that the trouble lies in the fact that
the farmers are waiting until the
present organization becomes active
and that the interest will then grow.
