His life and his interest in the cease" are closed.
But he will not have lived in vain, if few men,
foolish, or the verge of folly, should read and
consider this picture in connection with the Vera
Stretz-Fritz Gebhardt murder and scandal.
There was talk of jealousy as the cause of the
killing in that case; and jealousy burns in the
minds and hearts of women with an intense fury
unknown to men.
Shakespeare could make Othello spout jealousy,
women really FEEL it.
There is text in the Bible for every foolish
man to learn by heart; some day he may bitterly
realize its truth:
jealousy Is cruel as the Craze: the Goals
thereof are Goals of fire, Which hath a most
Uehement flane."-Solon,on's Song, $50.
For the foolish man recently murdered, the
imaginary man, in this picture and a million
others, there is truth and warning in CongreveS
lines:
'HedOen has no rage like lOUe to hatred
turned,
Nor hell a fury like a uOonaan scOrned."

of travel, usually fingers long

in historic and scenic interest.
True of most frontier districts it
is especially so Of the district that
separates England from Scotland,
the county Of Northumberland.
One comes to Northumberland
from Durham county, famous for
its iron works, its manufacturing
plants and its lovely cathedral
which rises from steep rock above
the wooded slopes that border the
river Wear. Northumberland is a
land of mighty castles and fort
resses as BELTS q place that has
such warlike association. There
is Ainwick, Warkworth and Bam-
burgh, the famous castle that
stands on an isolated rock high
above the sand dunes that guard
the turbulent sea. Here it was
that the gallant Sir Launcelot
came to die.
From the castle towers we look
out to sea and spy a cluster Of 26
tiny islands, the Farnes, once the
retreat of holy men, now a sanctu-
airy for wild sea birds. From BAN
burgh, too, can be seen the Holy
Island of Lindisfarne, where there
is a tiny fortress castle built on
the top Of a rock with passages cut
right into the solid stone.

REAL MENACE

When fire recently broke out in
the Department Of Interior, Of
ficials announced that it was
caused by inflammable chemicals
used in photography.
Experienced photographers say
that there are few, if any, chemi-
Gals used in photography which
burn.
Interior Department workers
who know something of the situa-
ton say that the fire was the re-
suit of films being kept in those
offices.
Secretary Of Interior Harold L.
Ickes has been warned repeatedly
against keeping films stored in the
building.
Some gestures have been made
in order to convince the public
and employees that there was no
danger from the stored film.
One man who knows consider
able about film says that there is
enough of it in the Interior De
partment to cause one OF the worst
death traps possible. He said:
"There is enough film in that
building to kill hundreds OF
workers. Nitrous fumes from
burning film are deadly"

Inevitable Reform

Representative John w. Mccormack, Democrat of
Massachusetts, has introduced in the House bill pro-
vding fiveday week for employees of the Federal and
District governments.
The proposal Of Mr. Mccormack is not new or novel
but IT'S ULTIMATE ACCEPTANCE BY THE GOV
EMINENT AND BY PRIVATE EMPLOYERS IS IN
EVITABLE
The sooner the Government accepts the principles laid
down in the Mccormack BILL the sooner private
ployers will follow suit.
If the Roosevelt administration UOOuId change its
course nOU and decide to keep feD of the promises
it has made and accept for itself feU of the preach
nents it is constantly making to private business,

the country that business solve the unemployment
problem if it will shorten hours and hire workers

AND MR. ROOSEVELT CAN READILY PROVE TO
THE BUSINESS WORLD THAT HE PRACTICES
WHAT HE BREACHES BY GIVING HIS FRIENDS
ON CAPITOL HILL THE WORD TO PUSH THROUGH
THE MCCORMACK BILL.
General acceptance of the principle of the five-day
week would be boon to all and might lead out of
the Roosevelt depression with its growing list of

Certainly the suggestion is far more practical
than mann of the absurdities Which haze been and
are being practiced by Mr.. Roosevelt and the theO-

self.
AS we said before, Mr.. McCormacks proposal is not
new.
The five-day week is already enjoyed by workers in
several Government agencies notably in the Post Office
Department.
EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT THIS REFORM
RESULTS IN GREATER EFFICIENCY AMONG THE
WORKERS AND PRODUCES FAR BETTER RE-
SUITS THAN THE OLD-TIME SLAVE-DRIVING
SYSTEM. "
We should profit by that experience and extend the
principle to all Government offices with the prospect
that business generally soon would accept similar
reform.

He wrote to his brother, a we'll
TODD New York farmer, and told
him to get a large truck and some
of his strongest men to take care
of the hauling and planting of the
seedlings. The brother agreed.
Some time later Reed went to
the area where the seedlings
should have been planted. He saw
barren ground and asked his
brother what had happened.
It seems that that particular
type of Seeding recedes into the
ground after planting and grows
later. But Reed thought his plants
were lost.

through the courts lawyers Grating, "the fair de-

The courtroom story included one corpse, that

you may consider to be the man in this picture,
and one moral lesson which this picture illus

Before the jury retired to render a decision in
the case, the Judge suggested that whatever the
jury might decide, death in the electric chair
would not be decreed. A majority would have
agreed with that suggestion. When a man makes
