SUICIDE IS
 MURDER; OLD
 LAW SAYS 50

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. A. Committing suicide is quite legal under Arkansas law-but don't help anyone at that task. A statute nearly 100 years old provides:
 Every person deliberately assist ing another in the commission of suicide or self-murder shall be ad- judged guilty of murder" Supreme Court records show the tribunal passed on only one such case. It affirmed the conviction in 1914 of Pike County resident ac- cused of procuring narcotic with which two persons took their lives.
 The convicted man, J. D.. Far rell of Glenwood, pleaded that he did not know the drug was to be used for self destruction.
 The Supreme Court opinion said that Farrell was used as medium by three spiritualists, Mrs. Rhoda Carter, M. c. Turner and Thomas L. Turner. The spiritualists took tablets at specific hours after sign ling a farewell note. M O. Turner and Mrs. Carter died T. L. Turner testified that they took the narcotic after Medium Farrell transmitted spirit mes sage from Mrs. Carter's deceased son, telling them to come over to the other side"
 1 Before entering into the suicide pact, they deeded property valued at $3,000 to Farrell
 The Supreme Court said the Pike County jury did right in fixing assistant Farrell's punishment at | five years in prison.

KING PETER, fl,
 IS GROWING UP
Little Monarch Now Real Boy-Is Regular Lit-
 tie Sportsman

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Nov 4. King Peter II is growing up, and he's happier than at any time since he was proclaimed Monarch two years ago.
 During the first months after the assassination of his father, King Alexander, Peter was the loneliest and saddest King-if not the lone Hest and saddest boy-in the world.
 He lived in an atmosphere of sor- row and mourning. He had no pals and, shy and sensitive, he was called upon suddenly to put away childish things and prepare himself to rule 100000 people.
 But now he is thirteen-his birth day was observed with national celebrations September 6-and many things are changed. He is real boy among boys. The last few months have done much for him.
 Before he started his summer va cation he gained new confidence by passing his examinations with dis tinction. During the summer he camped for a long time with nine boys, three Serbs. two Greats, and three Slovenes-representatives of the three. peoples of Yugoslavia- as companion, not a King
 He did his share of the routine and the others called him the equiv- alent in their respective languages of real guy"
 Peter enjoys sports and is adept in riding, tennis, swimming, rowing bicycling and motoring. He is deep- ly interested in mechanics, and of- ten is busy with his woodworking outfit. His favorite toy is the large electric train given him by Gen. Hermann Goering of Germany. It takes up an entire room in the Dedinjie castle near here.
 His teachers say he is a good student, serious and tactful, fully aware of the task awaiting him when he reaches his majority at l8 and becomes ruler in his own right. Now there are three regents. headed by his uncle, Prince Paul.

was so thick that nobody witnessed
the shooting and the murderer was
never captured. His identity Is stil UNI

Despite her "a years Miss Brecke's

an active interest even in politics. She
has decided views regarding state and
national matters. An injury TO her

her to use a cane in walking but she
hopes in q few months to be able to
