Stokes County Boy
Kills His Mother

Carl Newman, 81, was held in
Stokes county Jail while officers in
vestigated the fatal shooting of his
mother, Mrs. Mamie Newman, 81,
at, her home in Stokes county near
the Virginia line.
Sheriff j. j. Taylor said Newman
admitted he shot his mother.
81 don't know why I did it. just
went crazy and shot her, the sheriff
said he told him.
Taylor quoted Newman's brother,
Ralph, as saying he and his mother
were alone in the home when Carl
entered and opened fire with a
shotgun. Ralph said when he ran to
his mothers assistance, Carl fired at
him, the shot missing him and
striking a bed in the room.
Ralph, according to the sheriff,
overpowered Carl and took the gun
from his hands. Neighbors, attract
ed by the shots, hurried to the
Newman home and assisted in hold
ing Carl until officers arrived.
Mrs. Newman was shot in the
abdomen. She died about four hours
after the shooting.
Sheriff Taylor said no charges
had been brought against the pri-
soner. Physicians who examined
him were unable to advance an
opinion as to his sanity, the sheriff
added.

Greensboro Visitor
Weighs 72O Pounds

Mrs. Alice Hall has gained only
ITO pounds in the last two years,
or an increase from $50 to 720
pound, Winfield S. Harris asserted
yesterday.
The statement of Mr.. Harris was
made after Mrs. Hall left Green's
boro for Baltimore; she was a guest
at Hotel Harris during her stay
here late last week and she assured
the proprietor as to the correctness
of the figures in the matter Of
avoirdupois. AS a matter of fact,
she indicated that she is beginning
to interest herself in a program
looking toward weight reduction.
incidentally, she is travelling in a
specially constructed automobile.
She is only five feet and six inches
in height, a fact which, considered
in connection with her weight af-
fords an idea as to her obesity.
It was recalled yesterday that
during her stay in Greensboro two
years ago the bed on which Mrs.
Hall was sleeping, at Hotel Harris,
broke down because of her extreme
weight, and it became necessary to
place three large boards under the
springs. The arrangement proved
quite satisfactory then and it also
was found to be just as effective on
the occasion of Mrs. Halls most
recent visit here. When she was
here two years ago the portly visi-
tor was connected with show, en-
bracing a collection of oddities, then
occupying a stand on South Elm
street.
However, Mrs. Hall has informed
friends that she may not continue
in the show business. She hopes to
raise pigs and cows and chickens
out in the great open spaces where
there is plenty of room for people
who are really fat-well, at least
exceedingly stout.

Needle Discovered To
ReUiUe Heart Action
Electric Needle will Re-Start Heart
After It Has Stopped, Was
Announced Last Week

A new electric needle which re-
starts hearts that have stopped
from angina pectoris, coronary
thrombosis, electrocution and shock
and restores to life persons official
~ 'dead" was announced in New
York City last week.
AS an example of it possibilities
the death of Roxy" Samuel Roth
afel, was cited. Had the new needle
been available soon after his heart
stopped the radio entertainer might
be alive today. He would still have
his heart ailment, but no worse
than before an untimely stoppage
cut his life.
The new needle was announced
by Albert S. Hyman, w. D., at a
Carolina Greenwood lecture.
This needle is development of
the "peacemaker'needle announced
by DR.. Lyman about three years
ago. The new one uses a different
kind of electrical current to start
hearts. With all equipment, it is on
1y the size of hand flash light and
runs on a single, dry cell battery.
The old needle required 40 pounds
of equipment.
In angina pectoris and coronary
heart troubles, the types of heart
disease which kill many of the
leaders of business, industry and
government, the new needle offers
its best opportunity for advances.
Already Successful
Between $50 and 200 of these two
types of heart disease, DR.. Hyman
said, have been restored to life after
the heart had stopped.
The needle and current do not
cure the cause of the trouble. But
they make a heart start beating
once restarted keeps on going for
months or years.
This quality of the heart has been
thoroughly proved in cases of death
by shock, particularly Of the person
stands on a wet bathroom floor,
reaches for the electric fixture and
receives fatal shock. This needle
and particularly its predecessor
have restored to life nearly 1000
persons in the United States who
had 'died" like that either of cleo
trical or other causes.

Browder, since 1880 general secre-
tary Of the party, to all intents and
purposes assumed its leadership after
convention tumultously approved his
keynote address yesterday.
Browder called for determined par
ticipation in the national presidential
campaign and an unrelenting fight on
both major parties.
The Republicans, he said, must be
stopped at all costs as the chief ex-
ponents Of Fascism.
The Democrats, he added, must be
attacked all along the line to force
the New Deal as far as possible to the
left.

tights reaction only to the degree nec-

In broad outline, he indicated, the
platform will be based on the following
planks:
/. Consolidation and extension of So
cial and labor legislation, with min
imum standard Of living guaranteed.
2. Immediate balancing Of the budget
at the expense Of the rich.
3. A curb on the power Of the Su-
preme Court.

The War Department is considering
the change in view Of persistent and
growing demands in the Army.
Studies are being made Of newly
designed uniforms, which include
rolled-collar tunics.
The new off duty dress would be
worn by officers and enlisted men
who feel, according to War De-
partment press release. that they are
now at a disadvantage when ssso-
ciated with the more smartly attired
Navy and Marine Corps men and
officers of foreign services.
Little additional expense would be
involved since the new uniform would
replace one of the olive drab uniforms
now kept immaculate for ceremonial

DUCKS REMAIN WEST ALASKA,

Cordova C. of C. Aids An chorage in Block on
 Closed Season

CORDOVA, Alaska, Oct. Is. - The Cordova Chamber of Commerce has joined Anchorage sportsmen to block any attempt by duck hunters at Juneau and other Southeast AL aska points to close the season next year.
 Information showing ducks are plentiful but staying in Western Alaska, because of moderate wealth. CT, will be forwarded to the Juneau sportsmen who contend the season should be closed to protect the bird which is reported scarce in that section.
 The Chamber of Commerce de- elares the warm fall is keeping the sloughs free of ice and this has retarded the ducks flight south ward.
 Observations made here are the same as reported at Anchorage.
 The above issue was started when Juneau sportsmen announced few ducks in this section and about to suggest closed season be es ab- lished for next year.
