MILLER DEAL
OPPOSED BY
CITIZENS

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, April
6.-The reported IDEAL" between
Prosecutor w. o. Fife and attor-
neys for DR.. Richard G. Miller, by
which the confessed chloroform
slayer Of 1s-year-old Cleo Sprouse
will be allowed to plead guilty to
second-degree murder, was under
fire by prominent citizens here to-
day.
The 52-year-old, well-to-do den
fist will be allowed to make his
plea with as little publicity as pos
sible early Wednesday, and the
plea will be acceptable to the
Commonwealth of Virginia, Fife
announced yesterday.
Can Reject Compromise
DR., Miller was to have gone to
court yesterday, but a death
in the family of presiding Judge
Lemuel F. Smith caused the post
ponement until Wednesday. DR..
Miller was brought to Charlottes.
vile secretly Sunday night and
is now in the Albemarle county
Jail.
If the State goes through with
It's compromise" and allows
Miller to plead guilty to second
degree murder, he faces from 5
to 20 years in the penitentiary.
Judge Smith can refuse to accept
the compromise arranged between
the Commonwealth attorney and
e. v. Walker, chief defense attor-
uey, several weeks ago.
Growing Resentment
There is growing resentment
here on the Miller deal" especi-
ally in that part of Charlottesville
which is considered on "the other
side of the tracks" DR.. Miller was
indicted for murder, with the cleo
trio chair o possibility for the STAY
ing of the school girl.
Shortly after DR.. Miller's arrest,
the Commonwealth Attorney had
publicly announced:
"This appears to be first de-
gree murder"
It is known that Fife and the
Charlottesville police have in their
possession great deal of evidence
to show premeditated murder.

The battle for congressional in.
vestigation of sit-down Strik e S
shifted to the House today follow
ing the Senate's rejection Of the
Byrnes rider to the Guffey coal
bill assailing this new method of
labor.
Representative Dies CD Of
Texas, sought to make the House
vote, expected on Thursday, on
his resolution for investigation of
Sit-down strikes a clear-cut issue
of approval or disapproval Of them
The issue was still alive in the
Senate but it was questionable
whether another vote will be taken.
After the Senate rel ected the
Byrnes amendment, 48 to SO, Sen
ator Robinson of Arkansas, ma
jority leader, said separate reso-
luton on sit-down strikes may be
called UP tomorrow.
The Senate had before it three
separate resolutions, by Pittman
CD of Nevada, King CD Of Utah
and Davis (R.) Of Pennsylvania,
disappearing sit-down strikes in
industry as a matter Of public
policy. Foes of such strikes
planned to press for another test
on the Pittman resolution.
A bitter battle was foreseen in
the House as opposing forces began
lining up votes for and against
the proposed sweeping investiga-
ton. Dies predicted the House
will authorize the inquiry. He de-
clared that a canvass showed that
the House is overwhel mingly OPP
posed to the sit-down method and
he maintained that an inquiry is
necessary to lay the facts before
the TIIh1ic.

Correct Manners
By MRS. CoRNELIUs BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"When the dOorbell rings, should
the maid permit a stranger to
come into the foyer of our apart
ment, and then announce him, or
shall he remain in the hall with
the door locked until we decide
who it is, his mission, and so
forth?
TN leaving the dining table
shall the chair remain away from
the table where it was pushed in
order to get up, or shall it be ad'
juSted and pushed somewhat back
to the table? If your answer is
that it should be pushed back,
does it apply to a woman as well?
"Are finger bowls still in style
at a formal dinner? "S."
This first question that you ask
-. on one side there is a question
of civility, politeness; on the other
side is the question of common
sense and safety. In our metropo-
lis, these days, because of recent
events, people are getting more
''on guard" in their attitude to-
ward admitting strangers into an
apartment. And this wise point
of view now mainly predomi'
mates ones castle" must be
protected.
We cannot help feeling ungra,
cious, awkward, to keep anyone
waiting outside the door. If we're
natively polite people we naturally
think how we would feel if we
were kept waiting in such a way
But I do think that the way OF
wisdom and safety lies these days
in having a stranger announce to
your maid who he is. what his
mission is, and then have her ask

can have pie without once repeat
ing the same dessert. Her list in
cludes green currant, sweet potato,
pumpkin, fresh rhubard, cider,
sour cream, mocha, grapefruit,
dried peach, mock mince, ounce,
graham cracker, chiffon pies, Pc
can and raspberry, to mention q
few. The favorite of her husband
is Vermont apple.
In many households pie is a
favorite dessert. But too often the
choice is limited to only one or
two standbys, and never aspires to
any sort of variety.
Presenting Seasonable desserts
is one sure way to delight members
of your household. At this season
of the year, the lime, lemon and
orange chiffon pies are delicious,
the rhubard, fresh strawberry; are
seaSonable and the old fashioned
maple sugar and black walnut
pleasing.
The crust is important. No type
of pie can be good if the crust is
tough and difficult to cut.
This recipe for crust has been
made successfully hundreds of
times and is supposedly food
proof. The secret is making it
flaky is to mix lightly, add only
the needed amount of water, chill,
and bake in an oven of proper tenn
perature. Fit the pastry on the
outside of the pie tin and prick
with holes to prevent any bulging.

They no longer tell us it is
due to impure blood, but in cases
of anenia and undernourishment,
the skin may be affected, too.
One of the reasons they say
may be poor posture, and you
would be surprised to hear of
things they choose to blame on
the way we carry our body. The
framework or skeleton is so con-
veniently hinged and jointed we
have no difficulty in assuming
any posture to suit our mood.
We may sit on one foot or
with the body bent or punched
in an awkward position, and be-
fore we realize it we seem to
find comfort in these ungainly
poStures. Then our upright or
standing attitude is prone to as
sumo the same careless position
so that our posture becomes an
ugly one.
After this becomes a habit, the
organs of the body are cramped
so even the function of the lungs
and digestion is retarded. and the
spinal vertebra begins to lose
its natural suppleness, and all Of
this interferes with the normal
elimination Of waste from the
body.
To keep the skin clean and
healthy, we must assume a pos
ture that will permit entire free.

B him to wait outside the door. The
maid can be trained to be as polite
as possible about this, trained to
say, do you mind waiting in the
hall just a minute until announce
you" The stranger will under
stand, will appreciate the neces-
sity of the safety first" procedure.
However, do want to empha-
size again that this procedure
should be surrounded with as
much politeneSs as possible E.
and great deal of politeneSs is
possible. The maid can be
trained to be firm but polite,
not brusque. And, if you or your
wife decides that the person is to
be admitted, you have another op-
portunity for graciouSneSs, in
your explanation: Il hope you
didn't mind being asked to wait
in the outside hall. Mrs. Brown
and I have decided that we must
do that as precaution."
When we leave the dining table
we leave our chair where it is
when we rise from it. We don't
adjust it or push it back to the
table. Of course We would never
be criticized for readjusting a
chair-for there isn't anything es-
sentially incorrect about it. The
point is that adjusting the chair
doesn't serve any special purpose.
For, whether there is or is not
service in the household, the
chairs must be moved to clear the
table after the meal.

placed at the end of a formal

Charms in Belts

0NE of the reasons why
" Paris is the fashion center
of the world is that the Pari-
siennes, as well as the design
ers, have great originality.
They can take the clothes that
have been made in the great
houses and put the right acces-
sories with them - buy the
right hat-wear unusual shoes
in other words, they have in
herent chic, and so make twice
as much of a costume as any
person who hasn't it. And so
we read that they're doing
amusing things with their
jewelry this year. Those lucky
charm bracelets that we re all
wearing may be getting a little
tiresome worn in the usual
manner, but the women IN
Paris have taken to wearing
them through one of the slots
in a leather belt. The charms
dangle casually alongside the
buckle of the belt, and give it
a little extra snap, as well as
a nice jangle Of metal when
you move. The picture that We
saw showed a red Russ / a n
leather belt with a brace
let with coin charms put
through the slot next to the
buckle. It was all worn over
a slim navy coat, and the ef-
feet was quite smart. You
know about the charm brace
let's, and we suggest a copy Of

bracelet worn this way-the

Caught in net is much charm
for after-dark wear. A new dance
frock is of coarse starched net
plaided in soft grayish tones with
inset bands of red groSgrain rib
bon. Shoestring straps of the red
betting ribbon mark the off
shoulder neckline, and there is a
cluster of red carnations on the
corsage.
A soft note is introduced into
the sphere of cocktail and dinner
hats by the Watteau shepherdess
type hat. Such a hat is a tilted
disc of black stitched satin with
ribbons across and a hanging
cluster of gardenias at the side. A
flared veil becomes a Snood in
back.
Go anywhere and you will find
that beige is a major color. A nice
coat is of golden beige duvetyn-

back and a very full skirt, achieved
through impressed pleats. There
is a collar Of golden beige fox.

Famous Authority on Problems
OF LoUe and Marriage
Dear Miss Fairfax:
my father is a manufacturer Of
certain products, and l have en-
tered into a partnership with him.
He does the manufacturing and l
attend to the selling end.
1--WE bought a house together,
large enough for two families. I've
been married four years and we
have a 3-year-old baby.
Everything went on Splendidly
for about five months. Then my
wife consulted a fOrtune-teller,
who told her she should have a
home of her own.
"Since then she has been nag
ging me to move away from the
home / bought with my parents.
They are quiet people and not
the kind who are looking for
trouble.
so, in desperation, rented a
home away from them, though
heaven knows 1 can't afford it.
Now my wife insists that 1 quit be-
ing in business with my father
and take a job which earns only
40 cents an hour.
Il have refused to do this, and
she threatens to take the baby
and go back to her mother.
Her mother, who has got the
wrong side of the story, agrees
to receive her daughter if she
will leave me.
DESPERATE"
When 1 get a letter like this, I
don't wonder that certain cities
have drummed out fortune tell
erS. That these ignorant and dis
honest people have the power to
wreck families is almost beyond
belief. And yet, I get dozens of
letters like yours.
A wife or husband, as the case
may be. is told to beware of the
dark-haired man or woman. And
everything with dark hair within
a radius of 10 miles is suspected.
Or again, like you, some foolish

tune teller to break up her home,
and she goes ahead and does it.
1 think you were very foolish to
rent another house, and will be
more foolish if you quit the buSi-
ness with your father.
Why not try little tea-leaf
reading on your own account, and
tell your credulous wife that the
tea leaves say she will become
cross-eyed and hump-backed if
she goes back to her mother?
That's just about as sensible as
the stuff the fortune teller has
told her.
At the same time, fight for the
custody of your baby. Any
woman who allows a fortune-tel-
ler to break up her home, should
not have charge of a child.
