LESSON TAUGHT
Independent studies recently
made indicate that approx
mately As per cent" of high
school graduates continue their
education; "24 per cent find re-
munerative employment; 2 per
cent are classified as married
(girlS), unrepOrted or deceased;
and % per cent are employed"
Further education and employ
ment for the 1913 group as
against the 1924 group is urged
by the Office of Education as one
lesson taught by these studies.
Public education is the corner
stone of American citizenship
Under the American system OF
government, education is under
the control of the several States
and the responsibility for its sup
port is State responsibility.

With controversy raging over
the part the late President Wood
row Wilson played in the World
War, there is a definite move

Despite the fact that he was

Democrats, there is no statue of
Wilson in the halls of Congress.
Capitol officials have been

REPORT READY
ON JURY Trial

Right of defendants to demand
jury trials on charges involving
maximum penalties in excess Of
80 days in Jail is upheld in a
report to be submitted to the Dis
trict Bar Association tomorrow
by a committee headed by Attor-
ney T. Edward O'Connell.
The committee was asked several
days ago to study a bill slated for
consideration by the next session
of Congress which sets forth that
the right to a trial by jury be
abolished in numerous m1sde-
meanors.
Attorney O'Connell's committee
holds that in attempting to tighten
the Police Court burden, sponsors
of the bill have overridden the
rights of defendants as guaranteed
by the Constitution. It recommends
that the association oppose pas
sage of the proposed legislation
sponsored by Representative Mary
T. Norton CD, of New Jersey.

WOMAN KILLER
L0SESAPPEAL,
MUST DIE

Thomas Jordan, former cafe
busboy, who shot and killed Mrs.
Elizabeth Jaynes, cashier Of the
Garden T Shoppe, during a hold
up on April 8, 1881, must die in
the electric chair for her murder,
the United States Court of Ap-
peals ruled today, sustaining the
sentence imposed in District
Court.
Jordan is scheduled to be exc
cuted on December IL.
The Garden T-Shoppe murder
became classic mystery in the
Homicide Bureau for four years
and was solved by Jordan him.
self.
The young busboy had moved
to Mt. Vernon, N. Y, and was in
love with a young woman there,
it was revealed in his trial. He
confessed to his fiance that he
"had something on his mind" and
later wrote to United Stataes At
torney Leslie C. Garnett, asking
whether the fact that he had
been a suspect in the murder
would interfere with his mar
riage plans.
Obtained Confession
Colonel Garnett turned the let
ter over to the Police Depart
ment and detectives went to Mt.
Vernon and obtained Jordan'S
confession, arrested him and re-
turned him to washington.
It was claimed in the appeal
that the jury was illegally con-
StitlIted because a notary public
was on the panel, and that the
jury did not understand the
charge.
Pointing out that Jordan prob
ably would not have been con-
victed Of the murder, except for
his own testimony, the court said
the office of notary public does
not create a relationship to the
Federal Government sufficient to
disqualify juror for service.
verdict Justified"
The reported misunderstanding
of the trial Justices charge to the
jury revolved about the interpreta-
tion Of the statute which provides
that when person who is engaged
in the commission of another
felony "purposely" kills a person,
The Washington times., 1936-11-09

the homicide is first-degree
murder.
It was stated by the higher
court that the power of the court
was clearly to the effect that the
verdict of first-degree murder was
mandatory if the jury found the
killing to have been "purposely"
and that it might be second-degree
murder only if the jury. believing
the testimony of Jordan, found
the killing to be accidental.
The fact the jury found a first
degree verdict is simply indicative

spends most of her evenings in the
bosom of her family, and acts as if
she had drawn the capital prize in
the lottery when some pimply faced
youth drops in to eat one OF her
mothers good Sunday night suppers.
A S THE Good Book says, "A serpent
= on rock and the way Of man
with a maid are past all understand
ing" Yet it is easy to surmise that
one of the reasons why girls are less
attractive now to men than they used
to be is because they have made them
selves cheap and men are not bargain
hunters by instinct. The harder
thing is to get, the more eager and
determined a man is to have 1t. So
as long as girls gave lifelike imita-
ton of running away from them, men
pursued them; but when women
turned about and began chasing men.
men commenced running away from
them, and no one can deny that they
have made a pretty complete getaway.

less attractive to men than the girl
of the past is because they know her
too well. She is no longer glamorous.
She has thrown away her mystery
and there is nothing about her that
piques their imagination and fires
their fancy.

CTILL another reason why boys are
- chary of making dates Is because
girls have made the high cost Of low
ing prohibitive for the average youth
who is working for a small salary. In
grandmother's time girls had plenty
of beaux because calling on a girl was
about the pleasantest and cheapest
way of spending an evening. There
was jolly conversation and games and
music. Mother came in with choco-
late cake or they went into the kitchep
and made fudge, and 1t didn't cost the
boy a cent. 1t wasn't like 1t is now
adays when a girl comes down when
her date arrives with her hat on and
asks: Where do We eat?" And the
price of taking a girl out for an eve
ming sends q lad to the beanery for

there's a general tendency to dryness,

much to cleanse and soften the hair.
The whites of the egg only for blonds;
the entire egg for brunettes. The en-
tire egg may be used by light-haired
individuals also Il it is followed or
used in conjunction with rinse or
bleach.
The first step Is washing the hair
with good, bland soap. preferably
in liquid or jelly form. Rinse thor
oughly in tepid water. Beat whites
and yolks separately. then fold togeth-

Hair that has been badly bleached,
whether by chemical bleaches or by
the sun will benefit by the egg sham
poo described above.
Light hair that has become very dry
and brittle as result of frequent
bleaching treatments, particularly
when white henna is used, may be
treated to a combination bleaching
treatment and egg shampoo. This
treatment as given in some of the
finest salons consists of a combination
of light, antiseptic mineral oil. per-
oxide and ammonia. The oil actually
takes the place of the white henna,
the peroxide and ammonia become the
bleaching agents. This mixture Is
warmed in q double boiler, applied to
the hair strand by strand. allowed
to remain for about a half hour. Then
the egg shampoo described above is
used, and a lemon or blond vegetable
rinse to finish.
If your hair has been bleached or
needs bleaching and the white henna
has made 1t coarse. dry or brittle ask
your favorite operator to substitute
this oil bleaching treatment or to give
you q Frightening oil shampoo.

There are no two questions here.
Mother is in charge Of the baby. No.
body, nobody at all, should attempt
to displace her for q single moment.
She is responsible for the baby's
welfare. Nobody can take that re-
sponsibility. Therefore nobody should
undertake to ursurp her place. A mo-
ther is sufficient to her child, and that
should settle the matter.
Fond relatives, experienced mo.
thers of grown families, close family
friends, often make q mistake IN
their eagerness to help rear the chill
dren of new generation. They should
have better manners. No relationship,
however close, entities one to inter-
fere in the management Of another
persons home and family. Good man
ners dictate that one wait to offer help
and advice until one is invited to
do so. Even then restraint is better
than a too generous response.
Mothers are only too glad to have
relatives love the children. to have
their support and approval in rearing
them. What they cannot accept Is
untimeiy. unwarranted and mistaken
interference with their routine man
agement. If the mothers supremacy
is recognized there will be no trouble.
It is help that Is needed and wanted,
