SUICIDES LAID
To WEATHER

GIN CHM ATT, Ohio G.N.sO.
Nervous exhaustion and mental
diseases with their Coil of suicides
and mental cases, can be blamed
on the weather.
This is the opinion of DR.. Clar.
ence A. Mills, University of Gin
cinnati professor, who believes
that the invigorating climate of
the North with its freque t
changes in atmosp 1eric conditions
and fluctuations in temperature
provides a stimulation that con-
Stantly temptS men and women to
drive themselves beyond their
physical capacities.
Even the youth of the nation is
gripped by this climatic drive"
Or. Mills believes. He says:
Flaming youth is in truth a
very apt label for the American
young people of the North. They
are afire with vitality and are
consuming their life heritage at
q rapid rate"
The real tragedy" of this state
of affairs. DR.. Mills says, Is that
youthful eXuberance is so waste
ful in energy that little is left
for carrying on down the decades
which offer the richest values in
life"

PARK Dixie HELD
MAR To BEAUTY

Opposition to the proposed flood
dixie in West Potomac Park prob
ably will be raised by the National
Capital Parks Office as detri-
mental to the parks beauty, it
was made known today.
Instead, it is expected that the
parks office will recommend the
organization of a FLOOD squad"
that could be mustered in time of
an emergency to build a tempo
rary levee.
c. Marshall Finnan, superin-
tendent Of the National Capital
Parks Office, pointed out today
that any flood danger in the Dis
trict is apparent about IL hours
ahead at Great Falls.
A FLOOD squad" as he is ex-
pected to propose, could erect
emergency dikes around the West
Potomac Park area in that time,
he said.
Under Mr.. Finnan's plan thou.
sands of bags of sand would be
stored at strategic point for use
in the construction of emergency
dikes and men trained to carry
out the work. It is seldom, the
park official believes. that there
is a necessity for a flood dixie in
Washington.
The original plan, now being
studied by the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
and National Park Service engi-
neers, calls for construction of a
permanent nine-foot levee extend
ing from the Washington Monu-
ment to the Lincoln Memorial in
line with independence Avenue.
It was proposed as a protection
for the Navy and Munitions Build
ings and other public property in
the area which is only a few feet
above the normal water level of
the Potomac River.

Of PUBLIC
DEBT RISES
International News Service

Close to ten billion dollars in
Government bonds and notes
bearing more than four per cent,
interest, retired since the war
time borrowing, have been re-
placed by those ranging down
ward to less than three per cent.
Treasury officials disclosed to-
day there has been a rapid de-
crease in the average interest rate
during the depression. However,
since 1880, when the public debt
began rising to new records, ex-
pected to reach 35 billions by June
80, 1886, the total cost of financ-
ing the debt has increased
The Government will retire
more than 1900 million in
Fourth Liberty 4A per cent bonds
on or before April Is to reduce
an original issue of more than
seven billion to little under two
billion. 1t is expected the notes

the Liberties will bear 3K2 per cent

RAIL
SPELLS DOOM
FOR ACCUSED
BY LEIGH MATTESON

FLEMINGTON. N. j., Jan. %
1N.SO Rail Sixteen" a piece
of the Lindbergh kidnap ladder
weighing less than two pounds,
and four slanting holes made by
square-cut nails, today became q
major threat to Bruno Richard
Hauptmann.
When two police carpenters and
a New Jersey detective told how
four Square-cut nails were pushed
through the empty holes in the
piece of the ladder-and the pro-
truding ends of those nails fitted
in slanting holes in a beam of the
attic at Hauptmann's home, where
a section of flooring was missing
it seemed as if the nails had been
pushed into the lid of Haupt-
mann'S coffin.
Testimony Fits
All the ladder testimony today
was in addition to a vast amount
of testimony and evidence the
State has presented to support
tHe lone" man theory of the
Lindbergh case, first presented to
the authorities in May, 1882, by
International News Service.
Yet, the ladder testimony fit
ted, too, into the lone" man
theory Of the case, as it was out
lined to the New York police by
this writer and DR.. Dudley D.
Shoenfeld, New York psychiatrist,
who has been a daily attendant
at the trial.
DR.. Sshoenfeld and I told the
police the Lindbergh baby killer
and ransom collector was a man
who was pathologically frugal, "a
near miSer.
