NOT .F0RGOTTEN-gUST NORMAL

There's positively nothing personal
about this. In fact it is purely and sim
ply a business matter.
We refer to the magnificent editorials
and laudatory articles which the newspa-
pers did not give father yesterday, the
day before, nor today, for that matter.
Father got it in the neck as far as the
fourth estate is concerned, in centerlng
attention on Fathers day.
The only official notice of him in any
of the newspapers We have scanned is a
humorous cartoon. showing the rest of
the family Juggling a ball labeled The
Family Circle and on top of the ball,
working his head off in a track suit to
maintain his place, is father, wondering
how he ever managed to get to the top.
Al the risk Of being declared jealous.
we are going to point TO the millions of
flowers. millions Of kilograms and mil
lions of beautiful things written a few
weeks ago about Mothers day, and COM
pare them with the acres of nothing
which father got But father says that
is as It should be and it is.
Thus far we have not heard a COM
plant from a single father. (Yes, we
know father isn't single. but we are 60
ing to let it go that Way) Father is
used TO getting it in the neck If he got
al to him.
No, we are not trying to make father
martyr a hero, or the forgotten
man" He is just father, a pretty good
egg who is Just what he is and can't be
anything else, and none of us would have
him bit different. If we gloried over
him as he really rates being gloried over
he'd think he was a sissy. so it is lust
as we'll that we didn't do it yesterday.
The Yanks did pretty good job of it
100 years ago today OIL Bunker Hill. To-
day their descendants will satisfy them
selves with a ball game.
Next Sunday will be a fine time to
visit the exposition-it'S Imperial Valley
Day.

the trouncing of Max Baer was just
about as popular as the wrecking of the

TRAGEDY HITS
FAN|I Y TiXFN
FROM RELIEF

NEW YORK, June II. U.R) -
George Hoyt was on relief. and
didn't like it. He borrowed money,
bought a second hand truck and
launched a moving business. Re
lief authorities cut him off because
a man who can buy an automobile
doesn't need relief.
His business amounted to little.
Hoyt solicited Jobs Il and ID hours
a day, but in the last two weeks he
took in only 81.
His wife, Saturday morning. said:
We have to do something. The
boys haven't had decent food for
three days"
Well" he replied, there's no.
thing to keep in the icebox. I'll sell
it."
He put the box on his truck and
drove to second hand stores. None
wanted it. When he returned home
he left the box in the truck, plan
ming to try his salesmanship again
in the afternoon.
Mrs. Hoyt served the last Of the
beans for lunch. Hoyt whistled fu-
tilely for George. Jr., T. Eugene, 5,
and Arnold, 3. He and Carl. 2, went
to look for them. Two hours later,
frantic Hoyt called police.
While patrolmen searched, Hoyt
drove in his truck TO inquire at
homes Of friends He drove up and
down park streets, searched the
boys ball field, the school yard
and vacant buildings.
Boys SuffOcated
He hated to 90 home and tell
his wife Of his failure. He sat
moment in the truck before the
house. Idly ne reached over the
seat and Tipped open the door Of
the ice box.
A tiny arm flopped Imply out
Hoyt pulled from the lower section
of the refrigerator the nude bodies
Of Gene and George. He found Ar
mold in the upper compartment.
Medical examiners said they suf-
located. Police and Hoyt thought
they must have locked themselves
in the air tight box while playing
hide and seek, and wormed out
Of their clothes when the refriger-
ator became unbearably hot.
The bodies were sent to the city
norgue because Hoyt couldn't en-
ploy an undertaken.
Maybe it doesn't matter he
said. Maybe they're lucky They're
dead"

and I don't believe there's anything
here to hurt us. So let's play as
long as we like You may hold my
doll"
Thank you" said Jingle, polite
ly And you may take my jump
ing rope" So the little rabbits, in
stead Of doing as they were told,
stayed under the horse chestnut
tee. Then, all of a sudden, the
wind blew HARD.
Now on the tree we're growing
many nuts which were inside green
burrs that had sharp stickers on
them. The stickers were like pins.
And when the wind blew hard
many of these sharp nuts fell
down, some Of them hitting Jingle
and Jangle
OH" cried Jingle. "Ouch p
cried Jangle. Down fell more
nuts. Then the little rabbits ran
out from beneath the tree just as
Uncle W.ggily came hopping along
again He sew them crying.
why didn't you go out from be-

he asked. IT knew some Of the
sharp nuts would fall on you. Now
cont CRY so hard. You aren't
much hurt and you have learned
a lesson. II this was later in the
year, when the green spikes on the
horse chestnuts turn brown, you
would have been hurt worse. Then
the spikes are much harder and
sharper. So keep away from dan
gerous trees. Jingle and Jangle
said they would. And if the air

BE CAREFUL. CLARA

Clara Phillips, the so-called tiger
woman, and whose history is known TO
all California, Is free today. Daroled
from state prison where she has served
Y years for Staying a woman she be-
lleved to be a rival for her husbands at
tentions.
When announcement Of her parole was
made several months ago, there was bit
ter objection raised throughout the state
much of it coming from women. who re-
sented the leniency shown to her.
We can share in the belief that Mrs.
Philips was given break" she did not
deserve in view of the crime for which
she was convicted, but the law imposed
sentence on her and the law granted her
a parole. There Is nothing that can be
done about 1t for the law, in both in
stances, was the people. We imprisoned
her and we freed her and we should at
least give her chance TO make good by
letting her alone
This, we believe, will be difficult. not
only because she will be an object for
the morbid curiosity of many people. but
her own attitude is not one that is con
ducive to enlisting the aid of others to
help her rehabilitate herself
The prison gates had hardly closed
behind her when she gave an interview
that she had killed Alberta Meadows
That is the same as saying she was i'm
prisoned for something she didn't do
that the people, through the law, have
wronged her. This is a dangerous atti-
tude for one who had her sentence cut
down from 30 years to II and who is
still on parole and will be for the next
six years Unless It is changed there is
every likelihood she viii find herself in
trouble again and she should remember
that her parole can be revoked.
Her best course is to keep her mouth
shut and avoid interviews of any kind
The people have given her a far better
chance than she deserves and she ought
TO have sense enough, # she hasn't heart
enough, to appreciate the fact.
If the people give three cheers for the
adjournment of the legislature, we be-
lieve the most hearty ones will come
from the legislators themselves. Work

didn't see anything that could hurt

Attachment papers were filed this morning in the of. flee of Town Clerk Dora A. Egan. Property ct 373 Congress avenue and at 04-o6 sunnyside avenue has been attached.
 The plaintiff and defendant were married in May, 1929, according to the complaint. Upon being mar ried, the husband claims, he gave his wife $2,000 towards the pur- chase of e farm and also agreed to run the farm.
 Now, Urban claims, he has re. ceived nothing for his investment or work and he seeks $l0,000 daYn- ages and half.interest in the farm, which is located in south- bury.
