# You re Cheerful
When Dawn Cracks
Don't-You Are Sick!

PARIS, Jan. 13.-Those irritat-
ing people who hurl themselves
out of bed in the morning, with a
CHEEKY song on their lips and a
positive zest for life already agleam
in their fiendishly bright eyes are
getting just what they deserve
sick.
That's what DR.. Maurice AuguSte
Boigey told the French Academy
of Science. What's more, he gave
out some very sound advice on the
correct method of getting up in
the morning.
The motto of this eminent scien-
tist is take it easy" He flatly
asserted that when the sleeper
awakes he should stay in bed for
at least 20 minutes (Which is your
authoritative permission for catch
ing those extra 40 winks) so that
the blood circulation, which virtu.
ally falls into stupor itself dur
ing Shut-eye time, can return SLOW
ly to normal.
But this business of imagining
that the cacaphonetic yammering
of the alarm is a symphony by
Brahms. this really dreadful bus
mess of flinging yourself at the
dawn will impair your health, this

TRIBE Murder Laid
To 6NIentaI Illness

Belief that Corbin E. Boarman,
who last night killed his wife, son
and daughter, wounded another
daughter and then ended his
own life, had planned the mass
slaughter for several days was ex-
pressed by authorities today
Police learned that the 63-year-
old retired telephone company en-
ploye had been mentally i'll" for
several days before the tragedy,
and that members of his family
had urged him to see doctor, but
that he had steadfastly refused to
do so.
Instead, police believe, he started
making plans to wipe out his en-,
tire family and to do this started
gathering an arsenal of weapons,
unknown to them.
Gathered Weapons
He gathered a 80 caliber re-
volver, a six pound sledge, an or
dinary claw hammer, and a
butcher knife with long sharp
blade, police said.
Late yesterday afternoon his
distorted mind apparently had
completed it's plans and he started
on the campaign of death that
ended several hours later when
he flung himself beneath the
wheels Of a freight train not far
from the family home on Queens
Chapel Road, just over the Dis
trict Line in Maryland.
Before he died he had beaten
and stabbed his wife to death,
using the sledge hammer and
butcher knife, beaten his son and
daughter with the sledge and shot
them. struck his youngest daugh-
ter with the claw hammer and
shot her and her fiance.
Believed Insane
Intimate friends of the family,
who described Boarman as de-
voted to his family, expressed the
belief he had gone violently in
sane, told police that so far as
they knew he had never owned
q revolver. The weapon used ap-
peared to be new, and police were
investigating to determine if he
had purchased it in the last few
days.
During killings he paused to re-
load the weapon, police said, in
dicating that he had planned the
crime and provided himself with
additional ammunition.

Mary Boarman, both of whom
were shot by the insane father,

F ew Reorganization
Proposals Without
Some Opposition
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

President Roosevelt appeared
headed today for a major clash
with Congress over his proposals
to shake up the American govern
mental system as it has never
been shaken up in history.
Hostility to the Presidents
sweeping reform broke out like .
rash all over Capitol Hill. It was
not confined to any groups or blocS
or parties. Everybody, seemingly,
disliked certain of the proposals
and joined in picking the program
to pieces.
The prediction was general that
it will require all Of Mr.. Roose-
velt'S well-known persuasiveneSs to
make effective any appreciable por-
ton Of his ideas.
All Proposals Draw Fire
Briefly, Mr.. Roosevelt proposed
creation Of two new cabinet posts.
q Department of Public Welfare
and q Department Of Public
Works; the blishment of the
merit system for all Government
employees below the grade of
policy-making; abolition of the
Comptroller Generals office and
the Civil service Commission; and
the consolidation of all independ-
ent commissions, bureaus, boards
and corporations, numbering
around 100, under the admins
tratiVe control of the twelve cab
met departments.
Every one of these proposals.
more startling to Washington
than to the rest of the country,
drew fire from one quarter or
another in Congress.
The economy group objected TO
the whole program because they
could not find any appreclahle
savings to be effected by the re-
form. The jealous protectors OF
congressional powers, as appoSed
to executive powers, were opposed
to any more concentration OF au-
thority in the Presidency.
Patronage Loss Feared
Friends of various Of the inde-
pendent offices and commissions
disliked seeing them placed un-
der a cabinet officer. Others OBJ
