That will make sense before this

Miss Frink's testimony that she
cherished love for the tanned, slen-

Rest on

0.N.S. ).-Still exhausted by her
wild dash by automobile across
France, Mrs. Wallis Warfield
Simpson rested until a late
hour at the Villa Lou Wei to-
day but found time to make
a telephone call to London for
the latest development in the
crisis over her romance with
King Edward.
Whether she spoke to the
monarch himself at Fort Bel
vedere could not be ascer-
tanned, but she obtained news
of the British government s
decision to give the King more
time to make his final decision
and of the rising tide of pop
ular sentiment in her behalf.
A thorough check-up of all
local physicians confirmed
that the stranger who called
at the villa last night was

Pontiff Plans to Rise

News SerVice)

VATICAN CITY, Dec. AL
though suffering from asthma
and uremic poisoning, Pope Plus
today firmly refused to remain
longer in bed and announced he
will get up tomorrow.
International News Service was
also informed by an unimpeach-
able source that the Pontiff has
not signed church papers through
out his latest illness, indicating
the seriousness of his ailment.
Physician Leaves
Disclosure that Father Agostino
Gemelli, a physician and an old
friend of the Pope, who had been
staying at the i'll Pontiff's side
night and day, left for Milan this
morning caused a sensation in
Vatican circles, and much Specu-
lation arose as to whether this
meant Father Gemelli felt moth
ing could be done for the 79-year-
old Pontiff, or that the Pope'S
condition had really improved, as
was officially announced.
Official circles continued their
efforts to calm fears for the Pope's
life, but amid this uncertainty the
Pontiff's inSistence upon arising
tomorrow caused mingled fear and
satisfaction.
Vatican Alarmed
Some Vatican sources were
alarmed lest the Pope greatly re-
tard his recovery by leaving his
bed. Others declared they agreed
with the Pontiff that he will grow
worse if he remains in bed.
Meanwhile, formal services hail
ing the Advent of Christ" were
held in the Vatican throne room.
Breaking precedent, a layman, the
Pope's nephew, Franco Ratti, par
ticipated in the services, which
took the form of spiritual suppli-
cation for the Pope's speedy re-
covery.
Father Gemelli gave out an
official statement which indicated

kidney ailment. Not directly ad'
mitting how grave Father Gemelli
considered the Pontiff's condition
the Pope's medical adviser an
nounced:
"The general condition of the
Pope is satisfactory. His blood
circulation is improved. This is
due to the complete rest i'm.
posed upon him by his personal
physician, DR.. Milani.
This complete rest must and
will continue to be a prime fac
tor in resolving the present
crisis"
The Pope today was au
thoritatively reported considerably
weaker after spending a sleepleSS
night.
His Holiness slept only fitfully
in the early morning hours and
dawn found him exhausted from
a severe attack of asthma.

With large share of the British
empire helping itself to crisis
over an American wife for King
Edward, American genealogists
are laughing because they say
there isn't a drop of English blood
in King Edward, with a possible
teeny-weenty exception from back
in the days of King Henry VIII.
Furthermore, genealogists here
say that when it comes to good
old English stock, Mrs. Wallis
Warfield Simpson is almost COM
pletely of English descent, a great
deal more so than King Edward.
Authority for this today comes
from Robert L. Preston, of Lees

Science Discovers Secrets of
Mysterious Suicide GuIeh

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. W.D -
Federal scientists today discovered
the secret of Suicide Gulch, where
death turks in the earth itself and
every blade of grass is poison,
where the flowers themselves smell
like rotten eggs and every whiff of
dust is a witch's brew.
The valley in which mother ma
ture, by some queer quirk of
geology, has turned murderess, is
located southwest of Pueblo Colo,
in the st. Isabel National forest.
It's walls eroded yellow and red and
purple from the winds of the CEN
turies and its floor covered by such
semi-desert plants as Milk Velch,
Woody Aster and Lambsquarter,
Suicide Gulch covers 800 deadly
acres.
When the winds are right, Mephi-
tic vapors-smelling family as Of
garlic-Waft over it. Wild animals
never tarry there. Even the birds
seldom flutter down TO rest in this
beautiful valley-of death.
In September of 1881, a weary
herder, driving his sheep to mar
ket, halted his 200 woolly charges
in Suicide Gulch for the night. At
sunup the next day he was amazed
to find 1877 of his sheep had died
