NAVAJO DIET TIPS
Superstitious, Shun Certain Parts
of Goats as Food.

A tip from the Navajo Indians:
Never eat the smallest lobe of a goats
liver if you want to keep your friends
and don't cook dumplings in the
Summer unless you want hailstorns.
Furthermore. don't eat the tip of a
goats heart, because it would show
disrespect for the herd and weaken
its strength.
These are peculiar beliefs Of the
Southwestern tribe which the Indian
Office discovered when it began giving
cooking demonstrations in Navajo
schools.
Goats and sheep are the chief items
on Navajo menus and the Government
is trying to teach them about balanced
diets

.CAREYS LOSE
THEIR APPEAL
Pardon Board Refuses Their
Plea For Life ImprisOn-
ment to Escape Moose
MUST HANG ON JUNE Z

The Board of Pardons Monday
refused, in special session, to COM
mute the death sentence imposed
on Mrs. May H. Carey, 81, and her
son, Howard ]. Carey, 27, from the
death penalty to life Imprisonment.
They were convicted of the murder,
seven years ago, of Robert r.
Kitchens, 55, brother of Mrs. Carey.
Unless Governor c. Douglass Buck
should grant a reprieve, Mrs. Carey
and her son will be hanged in the
Sussex county Jail yard at George
town on June z. Frederick P.
Whitney, counsel for the condemn
ed prisoners, presented six reasons
for a communication of sentence to
the board which, while it has no
authority to grant pardon, could
make a recommendation to the
Governor requesting the commu-
tation. Without such a recon-
mendation the Governor could not
take such action. Mr. Whitney
cited that the jury was not justified
in finding Mrs. Carey guilty in a
greater degree than her son James
A. Carey who was found guilty in
the second degree. He also called
attention to that fact that the jury
had recommended mercy in the
case of Mrs. Carey and her son
Howard. He also declared that
because of her lack of mental ca
pacity Mrs. Carey was not respon-
sible for her act and that her con-
duct since the murder, November Z,
1927, had been good. He conclud-
ed by stating that from all facts
and circumstances in the case, Mrs.
Carey, now at the age of 81 years,
is in poor health and has not long
to live and that the questionable
feature of the testimony given at
the time of the trial are that the
ends of justice will be best met By
a recommendation from the Board
of Pardons to the Governor for a
communication of the death penaty
to life Imprisonment. The same
plea was made for her son Howard.
During the hearing, which lasted
two hours, DR.. M. A. Tarun1ianz of
the State Hospital, VINO made an
examination of the accused prior to
the trial, told the board that he
found the entire family of very
limited intelligence, and assumed
the deceased husband of Mrs. Carey
had been of similar mentality. At

in opposition to the application for

TO REPAIR LEIPSIC BRIDGE
But Highway Commission Demurs
at Crossing Near CheswoId

At the meeting of the State
Highway Commission at Dover to
open bids for road construction, it
was decided to take over the Leip-
sic drawbridge and make much
needed repairs to it. A delegation
of residents at Fenwick Island
have petitioned the State Highway
Department to devise some means
whereby those having cottages at
Fenwick Island might be able to
retain them even if a small rental
fee should be imposed. The State
Highway Commission having given
notice of eliminating the dangerous
crossing at High Hill north of
Cheswold, several residents in that
locality have petitioned the High
way Commission not to eliminate it,
but suggest an underground cross
ing. This, the commission believes
will be too expensive for the
amount of travel over that particu-
lar road.

sailed the methods of relief being
provided. The setting UP of in
calcuable sums of money for dis

he said, even when it takes the
form of providing work, tends to
encourage that spirit of dependence
that seeks something for nothing
and demoralizes a free people. 1t
encourages a demand for uniusti-
ned types of bonus on the part of
organized minorities and is a DOW
erful incentive to corruption, he
declared. Tuesday night the con-
