TINE picture Of every day life and
Il thought in Indiana has been
captured with all its color and vi
tally by Elizabeth Newell. Hoosier
author and poet, in her new collec-
ton Of short verse, Through the
Years
This can best be described as a
book Of Indiana poems and it re-
fleets keen observation of life all
around US.
It is published by Ralph File cher
Seymour Of Chicago and sells for
$50. The volume is dedicated 70
the Terre Haute Pen and Brush
Club Of which she is member.
IN Miss Newells poems there is
no dreaming on high mountains, but
both short and long accounts Of ex-
periences Of those who have Travelled
the same roads, paths and pave
ments Of Riley and Field.
These homely experiences of all
Of us are indicated in the titles of
such poems as The Last RoaStin'
Ears" Grandmother Garden"
MY Cabin in the Hills" Sunset"
odd Folks" The Fisherman's
House" The Daffodils," My Tree"
The Movies" AT Christmas" MY
Dahlias," The Housekeeper's Psalm
of JOY" "Homesick" and many
others.
Miss Newell approaches the charm
of Riley in The Last Roastin'
Ears"
She puts into verse her thoughts
and emotions as she sees the last
of the corn on the spent cOrnstalkS
on a fine September day.
She knows that summer, with all
of its blossoms and scent, is gone
and she suddenly realizes that there
is death and that the rustlin' of the
corn sounds like the wings Of the
Angel of Death.
TINE love Of flowers and an I'M
Il Outstanding of the romance that
lies in a flower garden is beautifully
reflected in "Grandmother's Gar
den"
This garden had an old-fashioned
primness which is fast passing away
in Indiana cities, although a few
towns and less frequent spots in our
large cities have such charming
spots.
This grandmother always had
enough flowers to give to guests
when departing, but grandmother is
just a memory as the garden lives
on while she sleeps forever.
But the author knows that if
grandmother could return that her
spirit would linger in delight near
the old dahlia beds that she loved
so we'll
In Sunset" Miss Newell makes a
plea in verse for all of us to take
time each day to look at natural
masterpiece in painting-the sunset.
She names God as the artist who
hangs this masterpiece in the sky
every day and she draws lesson for
all of us to forget the baser things
of life and see the glories in the sky.
Her October in Indiana" is pic
ture in a mental mood as she re-
fleets upon the startling beauty of
October in this state.
In that month she claims that
fear leaves her and a peace envelops
her as she wishes that october could
last through the years.
Her last thought in this poem is
that others can have their Heaven
in death. but she will take old Indi-
ana in October.

Pierson. 20-year-old son Of a Texas
Supreme Court judge accused OF
the murder Of his parents. was de-
scribed today as a lonely youth who
fed to a world of his own imagin-
ing to escape the real one in which
he believed himself a victim of dis
elimination.
DR.. Joe WoOten. an old friend OF
Associate Justice William Pierson
and Mrs. PiersOn, who were shot to
death by their son on a secluded
road 20 miles west of here Wednes-
day night, said Howard was a typ
ical dementia praecoX case"
For the first time since he slew
his parents. young Pierson last night
lost his compOsure and wept when
a cousin, Walter Washington Of the
University of Texas, visited his cell
His calm quickly returned, however,
as he discussed the arrival Of his
brother and sister, William Pierson
Jr., graduate student at the Univer-
sity of Chicago, and Mrs. Alice Pier
son Thompson Of Salina, Kan.
Plotted Killing Two Years
DR.. Wooten said Howard told him
he had planned the death Of his
parents for two years.
He had a marked inferiority
complex the family friend said.
HE dreamed of being. and some
times in his own mind pictured him
self, as a great scientist.
He felt his parents opposed his
desires. Two years ago he became
so upset he attempted to commit
suicide"
Howard told DR.. Wooten his par
ents were partial to his brother and
sister and that in the last two years
he had become alienated from his
family.

with feeling of inferiority. His
boss, G. N. Stoval, said the boy
complained because his father did
not send him to school and ap-
peared to resent the fact that his
brother had gained that favor.
Persons cousin said Howard never
seemed to go much for dances, par
ties and girls; he was happier by
himself, reading or studying his
science books. He always was SOL

Yesterday PiersOn told officers he
killed his parents for revenge ="
Sheriff Lee Allen, however. asserted:
''The revenge wouldn't have been
enough to make HIM murder them

Opening this big home stay yester-
day, the White Sox whipped Cleveland
to 6 and Clipped full game from
the leaders margins as the Tigers
bowed to the Browns, to 6. The
Yanks were nosed out by the Athletics
to 5.

the lack of benefits received from
whaN should be the invigorating and

Generally it is the custom for ball
clubs. no matter how weak and tired
over a seasons stretch, to show pick

They get tougher on their own ball
fields. They get last rapS, strike up
an acquaintance with every blade OF

are no overnight train hops to rob
them of the proper eight hours"
But, apparently, Griffith Stadium is
not the resort for the Nationals. All
they can show today is 20 victories
as against 26 defeats for play on the
home lot. This is a little better than
their complete 92-game record, true,
but not much. In fact their road

only two more defeats.

now it looks as though Herr Heinie

It isn't that Griffith Stadium is a

Griffs Flop Against BOsOx.
OBVIOUSLY, though, the Griffs' fail
~ ure to improve materially on their
home grounds is matter of some
concern at this stage of the race,
when it appears that they must make
their first-division bid now or never.
When they came home from New
York after scoring three victories IN
four games it looked as though they
were ready to cut loose bit for the
benefit of the home folks. But there
was not much cutting loose yesterday
as 10-game stand was opened
against Eastern clubs. The Red Sox
easily won an 11-to-4 decision and
the Griffs in no way resemoled the
tossers who shellacked the Yanks.
The pitching was a joke. Five
hurlers-Whitey Hayes. Eden Nc
Lean, Leon Petit, Jack Russell ano
Henry Coppola-were used and each
was well pounded and generous with
passes to boot. The hitting was just
as weak. the boys getting only foui
safeties off Fritz Ostermueller, VINO
made it interesting only by walking
IL Nationals and hitting another.
But Fritz. in spite of his wildness
let the Griffs get only so near tc
making a game out of it. Then he
bore down and as a result Is OF the
Washingtons were left stranded.
