YOUTH TELLS OE
 HIS WEES DEATH
CCOntanued from Page D

"She was brilliant and I was ae- tracted to her." he said. 'she was probably attracted by my uniform and she did most of the eourtlng, but in three months we decided Co be married,
 "Then I got Q job as Q sheet metal worker and she thought that wasn't Q high enough calling. Be sides, I wasn't very fond of her poetry. We were always fighting, mostly about her so-called culture and the higher plane"
 Defends Ills Sanity
 He was reciting his story for the benefit of his jailors and one of them interrupted with Q remark about his sanity. The young man laughed,
 "its very silly of you to think that I must be cracked. Of course I know I'll die for this, but what matterq"
 He resumed his story. His wife had been getting money from her family In Eldorado, Kans., and she wanted him to ind . more "digni. fed" job.
 The Idea did not appeal to him. So things grew worse about the house until he sought solaee else. where and fell in love with Q girl more his own age, He begged his wife for Q divorce, he said, but she would not agree.
 Would Commit Suicide
 "I knew she would commit Sui- eide If left her, she was SO hlgh- strung"
 So he endured three months more of her talk about culture. All the time he was in love with the other girl. Finally, he said, he reached the point where he could not bear any more of 1t.
 T was in love for the first time in my life. Oh, I thought loved Dorothy when I first married her, but 1t was different with this girl. I was under Q great strain"
 He wondered what to do about his wife and then: T decided to kill
 FAC uiu 90 at once, on August l, he said.
 One Blow Did N
 Ono blow with the dumb-bell knocked her dead, He showed the janers how he struck her.
 I'm sorry I had to 1t that way, but I'm glad I got rid of her."
 When he had tho house to him. self, he thought 1t would be wise to allay any suspicious of his wife's family in Kansas, he he began writ- ing letters to them and signing her name. He also forged his wifeS name to cheeks her family sent.
 He wrote the letters on c type. writer and 1t was Doyer's attempt to simulate his wife's signature, that aroused her familys suspicious. They asked police to investigate. The youth blurted the whole story when police questioned him.

 1. In some quarters, 1t was be. lieved the conferences had cole lapsed completely and that, # they reassemhle, it will only Do c fore mality to keep either side from bearing the onus of breaking up the peace talks.
 2. Other observers thought the two factions had now reached ths bargaining stage" and that gradual whittiing down of the differences might Do expected. They said that in similar negotiations, each side frequently began by asking for more than they expect to receive aid gradually found on acceptable level.

AGood Suggestion

pROF G. c. Elliott suggested this week that instead
of shooting off fireworks Sunday night in all parts
Of the city everybody assemble at the high school sta
dum and stage one big Fourth of July celebration
The new stadium has hundreds of seats and in front
OF 1t is roomy field where fireworks display could
be easily seen and where there would not be much
danger.
Elliotts suggestion is good one Maybe it can be
carried out at least starting next year when there
will be more time to make arrangements

POUNDS OF FAT

Feel full of pep and possess the

To take off excess fat go light on

"A eastern Republican
Up to their old tricks the Republicans realize
they've got to fghten the people if they to have

We doubt very much there will be depression in

Foil The Summer BURGLAR

SUMMER is here-and the burglar is getting out his
hOusebreaking TOOLS There are six burglary, rob-
berry, and theft losses for every fire loss according to
the Association of Casualty and Surety Executives
The vacation months, when so many residences are
empty and unguarded, provide ideal working condi-
hons for the housebreaker He does not have to be
wary of sleepers who may wake momentarily and
sound an alarm. He need have fear that dogs
angry barking will reveal his presence He can work
lesurely and thoroughly.
If persons who are leaving their home unoccupied
for short time this summer will take the fol-
lowing precautions they will add greatly to their
protection and peace of mind:
l. Lock securely all doors, windows or other en-
frances to the house.
2 Inform the police that the house will be empty.
They can keep watch on it and try the doors and
windows at regular Intervals
3. Take away or lock securely all jewelry, silver
fUrs valuable clothing, and other articles easily
converted into cash by thief.
4. Be sure to suspend all deliveries, such milk,
papers, mail. heap of newspapers or milk bottles
porch is sure sign that house is unoccupied.
In view Of increasing widespread threat of the
burglar hazard to property local citizens should take
extra precautions at this time Of the year That is
the most effective way they aid crime control in
the community.
