MAXWELL GIRL
! T0QUIT HILLS
IF FREED

WISE, Va, Nov. 81 QN.S0.
Edith Maxwell, pretty and high
spirited mountain school teacher
who rebelled against the stern
code of the Lonesome Pine coun'
try and now faces a quarter of
q century in Jail, plans to go to
New York and study nursing II
she ever comes free"
Her life, she told her brother
Earl, is broken in these Virginia
hills. Her defense attorneys plan
an appeal, but that will be a
legal matter only. 1t will not alter
the feeling of the hill patriarchs
who heard a mountain jury say
Edith was guilty of first-degree
murder.
And so the city, with its new
tangled notions that a decent
girl doesn't have to go to bed
when the chickens go to roost,
calls Edith again. In the thou
sands who live their workaday
lives without too much curiosity
as to the next door neighborS,
she hopes to find forgetfulneSS Of
the mad night when she killed
her daddy because he tried to
whip her for staying out late
IF Edith comes free, as we be-
heve she WILL" said her brother,
"she will go away to New York.
She will go in training to be a
nurse. She can't live here any
more-that's certain"

.SPURNS JONES
FOR 'DWYRYD'

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov.
21-Eleanor Dwyryd Jones will be
known hereafter as Telynores
Dwyryd, she declared upon her
recent return from a European
tour with a Welsh singing society
Of Salt Lake City.
The reason? Just a little mat.
ter of righting a wrong that has
persisted for many generations.
Jones is a name thrust upon
us hundreds of years ago by the
English, who ivided the Welsh
into groups and labeled them
Jones, Hughes, Thomas, and so
on" she declared.
Miss Jones, or Dwyryd as she
now prefers to be called, said she
learned about thi' abuse when
she stopped in Wales on her way
home from Norway.

Uncle Sam Is Saving
Your FingerprintS

To identify missing persons; to
save thousands of persons yearly
from a pauper's grave in Potters
Field; to eliminate the forging Of
wills, checks, and prevent crooks
from establishing false claims, to
eliminate not only the man bent
on robbery but the racketeer or
crook who wishes to use his safe
deposit box as a hideaway for cash
bribes or stolen jewelry, and to
prevent babies getting mixed"
in hospitals because fingerprir.ts
are formed before birth, and will
show the same imprint 80 years
later.
Those wishing to build lp the
Civil Identification File should
write to the Department of Justice

card, fill it out with the help of
some local official and return it

will do the rest.

citizens, including newborn babes
and youngsters of school age, have
their fingerprints on record in the
new Civil Identification File in the
Department of Justice, with the
number increasing at the rate Of

This was disclosed today by
Clyde A. Tolson, assistant director
of the Federal Bureau Of Investi-

esting highlights on the value Of
fingerprinting the private indi-

Such fingerprintS, Mr.. Tolson
said, do not go on file with Grim

JOB FOR EVERY
 PERSON IN CONN.

New Haven, Conn.,, Aug. IA (UP)-A job will be waiting for every employable person in Con- necticut now on relief rolls when the federal government shuts off it's direct relief allotments Novem- Der l, State WPA Administrator Matthew A. Daly promised today. At the present time there are about 10000 unemployables in the state, 1S,000 of whom are on federal or local relief rolls. A survey of the number of persons to be taken care of under WPA, he said, now is un- der way. Daily said he felt it "pre- ferable for cities to spend more money to put citizens to work than to spent it on relief"
 ''It is cheaper in money and cer- tainly cheaper in morale" he said. He announced appointment of Sutherland A. aBeckwith, Litchfield, as acting director of the Hartford district office, which probably will be opened Monday. Beckwith, as in the case of the majority of other appointments made by Daly, is an ex-serviceman. He is grad uate of Yale Scientific school and has been traffic engineer in the state motor vehicles department.
