tee said:
Did you have any basis for at
tempting to create an impression
in the minds of the people Of this
country that their President was
inSane?"
None whatever" Cramer replied
quietly.
Then he said that what he had
in mind was a whispering cam
paign" that would be analogous to
the campaign against Mr.. Hoover.
Never Saw Him
Cramer said he was ashamed
of what he did.
Have you ever seen the Presi-
dent?" Black shouted.
No" Cramer said.
Had you ever seen anyone who
saw him?"
No"
Did you think such a thing was
true?"
i think there was something
wrong" Cramer replied.
"What?" Black shouted, banging
the table.
Well, there's SO much confusion
down here Cramer said.
You knew it was false, didn't
you?"
Il don't know"
The whispering campaign" was

COURT GIVES
PROBATION IN
Staying CASE

LOS ANGELES, Aug. I. Up -
A second man was injected into
the "Peeping Tom shooting of
Glenn Drewyor Is, as Juvenile
Judge Samuel r. Blake today ap-
proved the terms of probation for
Kathryn Parks, II, Huntington
Park dancer, who shot the youth.
The girls mother, Mrs. Ruth
Parks, volunteered at the brief
hearing this morning that evidence
showed that two personS-young
Drewyor and another man-were
in the vicinity of the Parks home
the night of the tragedy and it was
the second man whom the daugh-
ter had seen when she fired q pis-
tol shot.
My daughter described the man
she saw as wearing a white hat
and white shirt" the mother said.
The Drewyor boy was hatless and
wearing a dark shirt. believe this
shows there was another man there
and that my daughter did not see
| the Drewyor boy and that it was a
wild, warning shot which struck
the boy"
1T doesn't make any difference -
declared Judge Blake. Even had
this information been given at the
hearing at which Miss Parks was
adjudged a ward of the court, it
would not have changed the out
| come"
Have you anything to say, Ka-
thryn?" Judge Blake asked Miss
Parks.
1T doesn't make any difference
| legally-so that's all of that" she
said.
In approving the terms of court
supervision under which Miss Parks
will be until she reaches the age of
81, Judge Blake ordered a second
hearing two weeks hence when any
changes deemed necessary may be
made in the probation terms.
AS drawn by Juvenile Probation
Officer Mildred Gilmore and ap-
proved by the judge. Miss Parks
will be permitted to have posses
sion of no deadly weapon, her ac-
tions and companionships must be
better regulated, she must associ-
ate with more persons of her own
age, must report to the probation
officer as required, and must have
appointments as required with DR.
Marion Firor of Juvenile Hall.
She will be under the care of her
mother during the time of court
supervision.
At the time he held the girl a
ward of the court, Judge Blake eX-
planned that violation OF the terms
of supervision would mean that
the girl could be tried on a man
slaughter charge.
The shooting occurred the night
of last July when the girl and her
mother heard someone outside the
house. The daughter fired what
she declared was a warning shot
The bullet struck and fatally
wounded young Drewyor.

COWBOYS TO
COMPETE FOR
WORLD HONOR

Out of the great open spaces OF
the west will ride the contestants
in the worlds champion cowboy
contest, which Tex Austin is stag
ing in Gilmore stadium, Los Angeles
for nine days-afternoons and eve
nings-beginning August 3.
With spurs jingling, gay necker-
chiefs flying and chaps flapping,
all the top riders, ropers and steer
wrestlers of the west will get to-
gether for the greatest cowboy
championship contest ever held, as
the hands are all hot to burn
leather" as never before.
Cowboy sports are not stunts, 3"
says Tex Austin. They've all grown
out of the cattleman's daily routine
the things he does to earn his
living. Far more than just a hell
tearin' theatric character, the cow
boy is a labor unit in one Of the
biggest businesses on earth"
These worlds championship cow
boy contests as put on by Tex Aus
tin are in no sense of the word
show" or display of wild western
horsemanship such as one sees at
the circus They consist entirely
of competitive events, governed by
the toughest set of rules ever
drawn which the arena judges en-
force.
Participants in Tex Austin
worlds chamDiOnshiD show are not
paid for taking part. On the con-
trary, they have to pay stiff en-
trance fee for the privilege. 1.-The
only money contestants in these
western sports get is what they
win" Austin explains, "and there's
no losers end in a cowboy contest.
Every event is a battle royal to the
finish, because the hands make a
serious business of their riding,
roping and steer wrestling"
Since 1920, when he started put
ting on worlds championship cow
boy contests, Austin has staged
u of these major events. In the
Is years, he has paid upwards Of
a half million dollars prize money
to cowboys, which constitutes a
worlds record. The best riders and
ropers are all eager to take part
in his contests, because they know
that Tex tolerates no funny busi-
ness" His judges enforce the hard
rules, so that every contestant gets
an even break.

ENGLAND MAY
REFUSE COAL
To ITALIANS

LONDON, Aug. l. UP)-The gov
ernment was believed today TO have
hinted to coal executives the ad
visibility of ceasing shipments TO
Italy
Reports that such advice had
been intimated after a visit by
coal executives yesterday TO Sir
Walter Runciman, president of the
board Of trade-a government de-
partment.
Reports came from the meeting
that the coal men asked Runciman
to intercede for them to get money
Italy owed for coal.
Officials refused to discuss these
reports but admitted they were
watching" the arrearage situation.
1t was said that the coal men
visited Runciman to discuss ar
rearages of several countries, prin-
cipally Italy.
This news was accompanied by
the assertion in the Daily Herald
Labor party organ, that the reason
British bankers have refused large
credits to italy was their belief
that Italy's financial position was
becoming serious.
II was added that the Bank OF
England was understood TO have
opposed the loans. possibly inten-
ded TO buy munitions.
The Herald said also that agents
abroad of British banking houses
reported opposition TO Benito Mus
solini's policies to be growing Sc
rapidly that a revolt against him
was no longer altogether impos-
sible.
The United Press reported yes
terday that italy, according to fin
ancial sources, had been sounding
out the London credit market for a
week but had met with no success
In Rome yesterday the govern
ment by royal decree created

SERMONETTE

Then shall the righteous shine
forth as the sun In the kingdom
Of their father. Who hath ears
to hear, let him hear.--Matt. II;
1915.
What a real sad picture of this
house is here portrayed. A clean
beautiful house with infuriated de-
mons streal5ing the well groomed
floors, besmocting the beautifully
decorated walls and filling the
nigLt air with ghostlilSe means and
shrieks. Eight of them led by a
former demon tenant who has
turned to find his former home
swept and besutified but empty.
When I look at this picture I am
reminded of our young people. Our
system Of moral reform predicted
on persistent "Thou Shalt Not"
has elected the demon, leaving an
empty, clean and beautiful house
the soul.
But cleanliness and beauty are
not all. Life must be OVERLOOKING
ly fun. Life must be possessed
with an inner controlling person
atty or else the eight devils that
Turk without shall finally retake
the citadel Of the soul
Ali How I wish these many,
many churches which have eject
ed the drsra, the organ, the So
cial hall in their efforts to reform
the young but have given no posi-
tive directing voice within. For
without are the evil demons Of
sexual lust and amusement.
