Boy Breaks His Neck
Making Shallow Dive

LAURINBURG, July IS. James
Clay Sanford, 16-year-old high
school student, died early today Of
injuries suffered here yesterday in
a five-foot dive into shallow water.
Witnesses said about dozen nude
boys were swimming near the high
way. One yelled 'Here comes some
women and Sanford dived hurried
ly to get out of sight.
When he failed to rise, Harold
Hudson, IL, jumped in and held his
head above water until help came.
His neck was broken in two
places. He was taken to the Hamlet
hospital where the case was pro-
nounced hopeless.

that we have learned, and that Mr.
Stone will now explain to you. !"
With slight smile Stone went on.
cit makes small difference who
first saw the minute speck that gave
us our key, as we may call it.
sAnd to put the matter in word,
/ will say that these murders were
done by the use of--radium."
Several of the men gasped in
arnazement, though the women were
in no way enlightened.
Gaskell looked perplexed, and said,
"Radiun? How?"
Garth said, sRadium! Oh, I see."
But Stone went steadily on Il will
tell you what Doctor Simpson said.
Those of you who can understand 1t
will do so, and others will please not
interrupt, as it can be fully explain
ed to them later.
"The famous toxicologist said that
the two deaths were brought about
in the same way, precisely. In each
case the murderer inserted into the
hart of the victim tiny glass bulb,
or as they call it, Seed" which con-
tanned gaseous substance called
radium emanation. This gas, when
present in sufficient concentration,
causes the death of the tissue i'm
mediately surrounding it over an
area of about half an inch, within
twenty-four to forty-eight hours. This
area of necrosis, as is the case in all
instances of acute necrosis of tissue,
softens and, if subject to strain, will
rupture. This is just what happened
here-acute heart rupture and sud-
den death.
"The seed containing the radium
emanation was inserted into the
heart by means of long hollow
needle, similar in appearance to the
hypdermic needles generally in use.
Though perhaps not entirely
clear to you, this was the method
used by the man who killed Corey
Maiden and young Bob Coles. Now,
we have to supply intervening de-
tails. I am positive that the murder
er gave the radium emanation to Mr..
Maiden the night they stayed at the
Lovell's home, that is, the night be-
fore the wedding. Yet the radium
did not get in its deadly work until
three nights later, when the necrotic
tissues ruptured and caused death. 1t
was the tiny speck of glass that gave
away the situation to Doctor Simp-
son and allowed him to prove his
case.
AS to the murderer, 1 can't help
feeling that he is ready to make a
confession"
Il ami" and Tony Gaskell sprang
to his feet. ''You all know, why hold
it back? And I'm proud of my deed.
Not of killing my friends, but proud
of the marvelously clever coup /
brought off. I fully intended to put
Corey out of the way and gain Perilla
for myself-also the Maiden money.
Why harp on these things? But the
glorious plan, the wonderful plot!
Did any mortal man ever achieve a
cleverer-"
Gaskell's eyes were wild, his face
was red and pale by turns, his fin
gers were working like those of
maniac.
Two plain clothes men stepped
forward from behind some curtains.

Governor 3. B. Moeur, in an
nouncing yesterday as candidate
for a third term, said:
circumstances and recent devel-
opments have caused me to recon-
slider my decision not to seek re-
election.
Much progress has been made in
the rehabilitation of our state. Pro-
perty taxes for state purposes have
been reduced more than fifty per
cent. at the same time it has been
possible to lift from the shoulders
of the taxpayers the burden of more
than $3,OOO,000.0O in outstanding un-
paid state warrants which confront
ed us when became governor
Through the practice of strict econ
omy in state governmental affairs
which enabled us to meet the fin
ancial requirements of the federal
government, more than $4,000, 100000
has been brought into the state for
the care of our unemployed and
needy and the construction of many
lasting and necessary improvements
which mean material saving to
the taxpayers of the state in the
future.
AN unprejudiced analysis OF con-
dit;ons throughout the state indi-
Gates that Arizona is actually ap-
preaching normalcy. The resump-
ton of activity in the copper in

prices of the products of our farm

the increase of volume in all other

 At the outset, the poor reader is discouraged. School is uninterest- ing-or worse, a terrifying experi- ence. He feels inferior and wants to leave school early.
 In high school or college, the poor reader is seriously handi- capped. In business or in the professions, he remains in the group labelled failures, or, at best. mediocre. And the sad part of it is, he doesn't know why. Only recently have educators dis covered the several causes. Today, the progressive school is attacking this problem early and seriously. Soon every school will do likewise, the sooner the better.
 Defective vision has always been known as a cause of reading failure, but now we realize that the ordinary eysight test does not tell the whole story. Accordingly lhe scientists are developing special apparatus and tests for the specific purpose of finding reading dis ability.
