Evening star., 1936-09-06

When kids are absorbed in their
own affairs they live in a world of
their own. Such things as traffic
and danger don't enter their
heads. The thoughtful driver is
fully aware that they may not
be paying the slightest attention
to his warning.
Maybe you'll lose a few minutes
in the course of a day by antici-
patin9 possible accidents, but
you won't lose as much time as
the man who hits a child. You
will save yourself untold grief

Jimmy! Guess what!'' and he de-

She said. I'm taking my vacation

What for?'
"To meet Margot, and to watch
her win the National"
He started to ask, when did you
become so interested in tennis?" but
he didn't ask. The thing was too obvi-
ously an excuse to get away.
Phyllis flew north. She could have
left earlier and taken the train, but
flying seemed better to suit her
mood.
She was at the pier when the great
ship snuggled into its berth. She
noticed that Margot was resplendent

land clause but with reciprocal
pledges of mutual assistance.
The cabinet also was understood
to have discussed letters which
Britain intends to address TO
France and Belgium, providing
for provisional continuance of the
old Locarno Treaty provisions with
Germany.
Cooperation among air forces IS
to occupy first place. The general
attitude of air experts toward a
potential enemy seems to be that
the pooled air forces in an emer-
gency would act only to retaliate
by bombing raids on an enemy
nation in event that the enemy"
first bombed cities of one of the
three allies. France sees an i'm
portant reinforcement of her Sc
curity from all aerial attack, eS-
pecially through collaboration with
Britain's new 300-mile- -an-hour
mystery bomberS.
Navy Cooperation
Naval cooperation comes second.
1t was assumed that as soon as
the East Afican situation became
quiet, a large part of the British
home fleet would be brought back.
France would be expected to pro-
tect Anglo-French interests to
some extent, while Britain recipro-
Gated by shielding the French
north sea coast.
For at least two or three years,
harnessing the British army to the
three power schemes would be
symbolic rather than strategic.
Staff officers are likely to dis
cuss a port-probably Calais or
Dunkerque-through which British
troops would move to strengthen
the Belgian army. They would
examine fields in which British
soldiers would operate. Britain'5
total eXpeditionary force now
comprises five divisions, about ST.
900 troops. But France would be
greatly reassured if Britain prom
ised to dispatch only two or three
divisions in an emergency.
1t is emphasized that Britain
does not intend to hand France
and Belgium a blank check. She
does not want to bind herself to
a fixed war plan.

A black suit of sack cloth was laid
aside today in the prison tailor shop.
1t was Bruno Richard Hauptmann's

the same clothes he has on today.
The trouser leg will be slit and the

Indy LIVES AS
COUNTRY SQUIRE

Copyright. 1886, by United Press
WEALD. County Kent. England,
March 80. UP)-As the hour set for
Bruno Richard Hauptmann's death
approached today, Col Charles A.
L.ndbergh. his wife and their baby
son were living happily as unpre-
tentiouS citizens Of this tiny viii
lage - population 35O-tw miles
from Sevenoaks.
Lindbergh sometimes is seen
walking alone along the tortuous
country lanes. Oftener he drives
a small American motor car CFord)
with his family as passengers.
He likes to walk in the big rose
gardens of the old home Long
Barn" which he has leased, with
Mrs. Lindbergh and little Jon. Once
in a while he goes to London. If
he enters the village proper, it is
usually to go to the garage.
Live Unguarded
In quiet England, the Lindberghs
who came here in fear that kid
napers might visit them again, live
nguarded from intruders.
Long Barn. so called because of
its unusual length. is more than
500 years old. 1t faces a winding
country lane on one side and a
vast expanse of green fields on the
other. 1t is practically fenceless.
The Lindberghs live as do their
immediate neighborS, local farm
ers.
The front of the home is separat-
ed from a public lane only by
gateleSs low brick wall which a
child could jump. The gateless
opening in the wall enables visit
ors to enter unchallenged to the
front door 10 feet away. It is franz
ed in spring flowers and overlook
ing the beautiful neighboring lawns
and fields.
Lindbergh in a way is a country
squire. He won immediate popu-
lar.ty when villagers learned that
ke intended to buy as much of his
goods as possible in the village.

TRENTON, March 30. UR)-Bruno
Richard Hauptmann, with death on
ly hours away, has turned toward
religion and forgiven" the men who
prosecuted him.
1t was learned today that under
the guidance of his spiritual adviser,
Rev. John Matthiesen, the con-
demned slayer is now engrossed in
prayer His attitude is in contrast
to that at his Flemington trial in
January, 1895, when he spent his
time reading wild west and detective
stories.
The change has been gradual
Hauptmann still is not what might
be termed deeply religious but Mat
thiesen's kindly teachings have
brought him back to the Lutheran
faith of his fathers.
Confidence Unswerving
The minister, whose confidence in
Hauptmann's innocence is unswerv-
ing, recalled the occasion when the
German carpenter "cleansed his
heart" of feeling against Attorney
General David Wilentz and other
members of the prosecution.
