WOMAN FACES new
TICKET SALE TRIAL
High Court Once Reversed Her
Conviction on Similar
Charge.

Miss Ethel Clawans, 20, Of the 5000
block Of Connecticut avenue, whose
conviction on charge Of selling the
unused portion of railroad round-trip
tickets was reversed recently by the
Supreme Court, will be arraigned In
Police Court tomorrow on another
charge Of committing the same offense.
Miss Clawans was arrested in Union
Station yesterday by Precinct Detec-
tives Fred L. Rawlinson and w. G.
Fawcett, charged with violating sec
ton II OF District regulations which
forbid selling railroad tickets without
q license.
Several months ago Miss Clawans
was convicted Of the same charge and
sentenced to pay a fine of 5000 and
serve so days in Jail. The United
States Court Of Appeals reversed the
conviction. ruling that Miss Clawans
was entitled to trial by jury.
The Supreme Court held that Miss
ClaWanS was not entitled to q jury
trial because the offense of which she
was accused was a petty one, but
upset the conviction on the ground
she had not been given an opportunity
to cross-examine prosecuting wit
neSSes.
Justices Butler and McReynolds
dissented from the majority ruling,
contending the severity of the SEN
tence imposed upon Miss Clawans in
dicated that her offense was not
petty" and that she should have been
given trial by jury.

G|RL,17,AND YOUTH
ON TRIAL FOR LIVES
Hatchet Staying Charged to
Gladys MaCKnight and
Former Sweetheart.
oy the Associated Press,


JERSEY CITY, N. j., May H.
Prosecutor Daniel T. O'Regan asked
today that slim, 17-year-old Gladys
MacKnight and her red d-haired former
sweetheart, Donald Wightman, 18, for
felt their lives for the hatchet Staying
OF the girls mother.
In the Hudson County Court room,
kept dead quiet, except for the prose-
cutor's words by rigid rule Of Pre-
siding Judge Thomas F.. Meaney,
O'Regan told swiftly chosen blue
ribbon" jury:
This is horrible crime and I
wish to God had no part in it.
"A life has been taken-two lives
are at stake.
Il insist that these two lives are
forfeited to the State of New jersey"
"Struck Jury" Law Invoked.
The jury, made up largely of mid
dle-aged business men, was chosen in
little more than an hour. The STRUCK
jury law had been invoked under
which the prosecutor in capital cases
may ask the judge himself to select
the jury panel, the purpose being to
insure high type jury.
In the prosecutors opening, he said
he would prove ''by words of these de-
PENDANTS own mouths" that Wight
man stood behind Gladys mother
Mrs. Helen MacKnight, holding her

and crying, "hit her again." while the
girl hacked her to death with the
hatchet.
AfterWard r. Louis Kennedy, coun-
sci for the small, brown haired girl
who sat listening cody, blinking her
blue eyes, declined to make an opening
statement until the prosecution had
put on all its witnesses.
May Try to Shift Blame.
Apparently Gladys and her ex-
sweetheart went to trial as enemies,
ready to try to shift the blame to
each other for the hatchet Staying Of
the girls mother.
Ignoring each others presence, they
sat rigidly, refusing to cast a glance
in the others direction.
The prospect of hearing the story
behind the story in the murder last
July 81 of Mrs. MacKnight, At, lit
erary chairman Of Bayonne wom-
ans club, drew capacity crowd to
the court room.
Their romance cooled, Gladys and
her ex-sweetheart had separate de-
fense counsel today, each ready with
a separate defense plea.
Gladys attorney, r. Lewis Kennedy,
was expected to base her plea on SELF
defense from the butcher knife.

The modern dance is no longer
mterpretative, as was that of Isa-
dora Duncan, Pavlova, Nijinsky,
Mordkin and as is the art of the
Ballet Russo de Monte Carlo to-
day. 1t is aggressive, creative, an
independent art, that declines to
be the handmaiden of music. 1t
has new technique, quite a logi-
cal one, as one learned when Mss
Delza began to illustrate current
use of gesture and movement.
DANCE DEFINING ACT
It is a defining, not interpret
ing art; and though it acknowl.
edges the revolt of Isadora Dun
can as it's genesis, though it ad-
mitS that she used the new tech
nique which she created and
which her followers are develop
ing, to interpret such formal mas
terpieceS as the seventh symphony
OF Beethoven, the new art is all
concerned with the definition of
ideas, previously announced or de-
Scribed, in its own newly created
terms Of movement and gesture.
How these differ from the stiff
Journalism of the ballet which held
the body rigid and employed only
legs and arms; which constantly
used ancient and artificial steps
and gestures even when associating
these abstract ideas with the inter-
probation of definite moods, was
presently made clear when Miss
Delza defined for us the mere
pleasure of movement, as in a folk
dance; the wholesome vigor of
that physical release; the derisive
powers Of a Satirical dance; the
excitements of a marching song,
which amusingly combined the
drum majors pomp and the
gamin'S impertinence.
GROTESQUE GESTURES
But it is hard to forgive the
modern dancer the things he has
done to music. Nor is to be
denied that this subjected sister
art makes hideous sounds in her

No matter what its defining

it no longer seeks beauty for its

The Discovery of lnsulin

The Discovery of lnsulin
n My fifteen year ago. anyone
~ who fell sick with diabetes was
almost as good as dead. Doctors
knew that diabetes occurred when
person had too much sugar in his
blood. They also knew that the pres
ence of sugar was due to an i'm
properly functioning pancreas. But
no one knew how to correct the
situation.
Along about 1920, an mex
perienced young doctor named Ban
ting was struggling to get estab-
ished in London, Ontario. An ex-
farmer boy and a war veteran, Ban
ting knew practically nothing about
scientific research, but he did have
one brilliant idea.
II the pancreas produces life-sav-
ing juices that prevent diabetes,
Banting thought, why not isolate
this precious extract from animals
and give it to diabetic humans?
The very thought of such a pos
sibility set him on ire. He sold his
Office furniture and medical equip
ment to get money for his living
expenses in Toronto where he could
try it out.
Some of the world; best scientists
had already experimental with Ban
ting's idea. They had failed because
they lacked his determination and
ingenuity. With the help of Charles
Best, twenty-one-year-old chem
istry student, Banting experimental
first upon dogs and then upon chron-
ic diabetic sufferers. With his treat
ment, most of them made amazing
recoveries. The treatment consisted
of daily NEGOTIATIONS of his pancrea-
tic extract, insulin. Millions of peo-
pie all over the world owe their
lives today to Banting's phenomenal
discovery. - ..

BILLY MINK IS DISCOVERED

\ FTER the rats left the big barn
"A Billy Mink found it less easy
to get plenty to eat. There were
mice in the big barn, and for sew
eral days Billy managed to catch
enough Of these to keep from going
hungry. But mice can get into
places too small for Billy to follow,
and those that were left soon
learned to keep out of his way.
Then, Billy's thoughts turned to
the hens in the henhouse. He had
not intended to kill any of those
hens because he knew that as soon
as he did, the farmer who owned
them would hunt for him, and then
he would have to move on. He was
so comfortably located that he was
not anxious to move on. But one
must eat, and now that the rats had
disappeared and the mice had
learned to keep out of his way,
Billy's thoughts turned to those
hens. -...-. -sa
It was the very night after the
fire which the rats had started in
the back shed of the farmhouse that
Billy made up his mind to have a
chicken dinner. He slipped under
the henhouse and up through a hole
in the corner which he already knew
about. All the hens were roosting
high fast asleep, with their heads
under their wings.
Had Reddy Fox been in Billy
Mink's place he would have been
