sleeping in an adjoining room
when they arrived at the hotel.
Miss O'Bannon, held at the
women's Bureau for inveStiga-
ton, was spared the ordeal of a
police grilling until later in the
day. She was on the point of col
lapse.
It was all but impossible to OBJ
tain a coherent answer from
Reaguer, who was suffering from
loss of blood and continues to
humble, police said.
Cousin Unafraid
Neither Wood, husband Of the
slain girl, nor relatives Of Reaguer
were able to help police ascertain
details leading up to the Staying.
The husband, a steam shovel
operator, hurried to Washington
this morning.
Miss O'Bannon spoke for
moment to reporters. She said:
81 have nothing to fear. did
no wrong. There is nothing I
can say now which would help
my cousin"
Margaret Fletcher. 1s-year-old
sister of the slain girl, advanced
the theory today that Reaguer
was jealous of her sister. Reaguer
had been a frequent visitor in the
Fletcher home, Margaret said, but
recently-after the marriage Of
her sister to Wood-hiS visits be-
came less frequent.
This much was established by
police:
Mrs. Wood, accompanied by
Miss O'Bannon, who had been
visiting her at Stoneleigh, went
to the home of her mother, Mrs.
j. w. Fletcher, in Culpeper, early
yesterday morning. They in
tended spending the night there.
It would have been her first night
at her parents home since her
marriage September 26.
Last evening members of the
Fletcher family left the house for
the Culpeper County Fair. Miss
O'Bannon and Mrs. Wood re-
turned to the Fletcher home.
About this time-near 8 p M
Reaguer left his home. Police
believe he picked up the two girls
and brought them to Washington.
Mother CoIIapses
Reaguer has been a respected
citizen of Culpeper. He is a
member of the Rotary Club, the
Culpeper Chamber Of Commerce
and the Baptist Church of Cul-
pepper. He is the father of two
married daughters.
The slain girls father is an
employe of the Virginia Public
Works A ministration road
project.
Mrs. Fletcher was in a state
of collapse. She swooned when
informed by a Washington Times
reporter Of the murder of her
daughter. She said she begged
her daughter not to leave the
house last night, after she re-
turned from the fair grounds.
Hotel records show Reaguer
and the two girls registered at
the hotel shortly before mid
night. They registered as "H. L.
Thomas and party. Richmond.
Va. The party were given adjoin-
ing rooms on the ninth floor.
Hotel employees believed them to
be father and daughters.
There was no evidence that
Reaguer had been drinking, ply
sicians at Emergency Hospital
said.
In the pocketoook of the slain
girl police found this newspaper
clipping:
"Mr. and Mrs. ]. w. Fletcher

daughter to Herbert Randolph
Wood, son of Mr.. and Mrs. D. F.
Wood, of Fairfax County, which

Your Health
by DR.. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

OUR country is oversuppied with food faddists
~ Some believe that the eating of whole wheat
bread in large amounts is of greatest Importance to
health; others insist that vast quantities of fruits
must be eaten some oppose acids and some oppose
alkal; some oppose the mixing of acids and aka
lis, and others oppose the mixing of proteins and
starcheS.
If people realized that the human body is con-
Structed to utilize various foods without much
trouble and that it gets along best varied diet
food faddists would not be common.
Digestion begins first in the mouth Food is
chewed by the teeth, then it is mixed with saliva
from the glands on each side of the jaw.
The saliva makes the food easy to swallow 1t
also contains ferment called ptyalin which is USE
full in dgesting starches.
The more completely the food is chewed, the
easier 1t is to swallow and the more easily digested.
Next the food goes into the esophagus which
carries it to the stomach.
TINE first really important digestion begins when
III the food and the water gets into the stomach
Here the food is mixed with the juice which the
glands of the stomach secrete. This is thin color
less or slightly acid reaction 1t is hydrochlorc acid
The gastric juice also contains two, or possibly
three, fermentS, which aid in digestion of proteins
Chief of these pepSn and rennin. There is pos
Sibly another called lipasel which helps to digest
fats.
One of the most widely promoted food fads of
dgested only IN the mouth and proteins only in the
stomach and that, therefore, one should never mix
proteinS and starches in the diet.
The whole idea is ridiculous. The starcheS are
mixed with the saliva and while their digestion be-
gins IN the mouth, it is continued in the stomach.
The mass of food then passes into the intestine,
which is alkaline in reaction, where digestion of
starches continues
A have pointed out previously, the mere sight
of food will cause the stomach to begin secret
ing its digestive juice 1t gets the stomach ready
for digestion.
Certain foods seem to have the special virtue of
causing the pouring out of gastric juice. Such are
meat extracts, meat juices and soups while the TAX

or the ferments which the stomach SecreteS,
pepSin is the most important. Pepsin acts only in
the presence OF acid and the stomach supplies that
