FUNERAL TACOMA
 OF BOY
Details Are Lacking
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 TACOMA, Jan. 13, The fow- er-banked casket, shielded the
 gaze of the sorrowing family from the brutal wounds which the Mattson boy suffered at the hands of the kidnaper-killer.
 The funeral for the little boy took place at l pm. today Pacific Standard Time.
 Details of the wounds, learned from a closely guarded autopsy, were entirely withheld from Mrs. Mattson and the two remaining children William Is and Muriel IA. Neither G-Men nor physi- clans would disclose the details.
 However, the San Francisco  Chronicle in copyrighted dis patch from Tacoma said one stab wound from the back almost pierced the body, missing the vit- al organs, and leaving the boy to torture, before he was finally killed. He evidently fought fierce ly probably in an attempt to escape. @
 It was definitely determined the Mattson boy had been dead for six days when h.s body was found Monday.

There is nothing strange about their
taking the populations interest; they
are very entertaining, useful, enlight-
ening, and educational.
They have come to replace the
graphophone by giving more variety,
information and music, in its original
state. The photograph was good in
its day, but after being played sew
eral times, records had the canned
music effect. There may be folks
who prefer them to the radio, but their
number is limited, the majority pre-
fer radio programs to records.
There is more to come for radio
fans: A marvellous addition, that will
revolutionize the industry. We may
soon see our favorite player appear
right before our eyes. Just imagine
seeing Eddie Cantor or Major Bowes
or others equally good, while sitting
at home listening to their programs,
(miles and miles away quietly en-
joying their clever entertainment.
Marvellous but true; not dream but
a reality, because this is already a
practical problem.
This new addition to radio, made
possible by television, cannot be
bought at present. Such radios, how
ever, are being used very successfully
in Philadelphia and England, fully
equipped for experimental purposes
that they may be more nearly per-
fected when the ban is lifted. Until
then, the public may not use or pur-
chase them. When the time comes,
many operators will sell the present
models to buy the modern television
sets. The new sets will be consider
able higher than the present ones, no
doubt, and old models will be sacrifice
ed on the market at very reasonable
rates; almost everyone will doubtless
ly have radio then, and listen to the
music going round and round-thc
world.

SEEDTIME AND HARVEST

GG1DA AMC AMI NAN ES1
We are ever sowing seed, along the
way we're going,
But seldom do we pause to note which
way the wind is blowing;.
Thus, they are scattered far and wide ::
upon the breeze they travel,
And what the harvesting will be,
time only will unravel.
Each little word; each act Of ours.
however unsupported,
Are fertile seed which sprout and
grow, and, by fate's hand directed
Will yield goodly store of fruit, or
flowers, for our pleasure;
Or else, a crop of ugly weeds, with
thistles for good measure.
If hate and selfishness we sow, these
briars will quickly flourish,
And choke the tender plants of joy,
the soil would gladly nourish;
The harsh and scratching words we
spoke, because a brother stumbled,
May sometime prove a boomerang
when we perchance, are humbled.
The sympathy; the warm handclasp,
we give to one who sorrows,
May be returned to us, ten fold, are
many more to-morrows;
The paltry crusts we give away; for
gotten communicated
Return to us as golden loaves, lust
when they most are needed.
Sometimes one sows-another reaps;
Gods ways are oft unknown,
And tender hands are pierced by
thorns some carless one has sown;
So, if we scatter seeds of love, and
don't withhold or spare them,
The flowers of happiness will bloom
and multitudes may share them.

The radio era with it's marvellous
mystifying mechanism and it's unex.

where only one or two radios played
in 1922, there are hundreds today
They are almost as common in farm

I Jimmy Thomson, tie Shaw

man to watch today as the
Nations golfing expeditionary force
went over the top in the last offensive
of the $4,000 Miami Biltmore open.
Johnny Revolta of Evanston. Ill
the 54-hole leader with 209 after
yesterdays par-shattering rounded
the charge, but it was Thomson, who
cracked the course record with a IS,
to whom the galleries looked.
Thomson, firing his approach shots
with the accuracy of a trench mortar.
whacked six strokes of par and started
the final drive a single stroke back
Of Revolta, who ground out steady
70 to stay on top.
Thomson Stroke Under Record.
THE IS was a stroke better than the
previous record, set in 1885 by
Ted Turner of Pine Valley, N. j., and
equalled last year by Lawson Little
of San Francisco.
Also close on Revolta's heels was
Dick Metz of Chicago, whose 81 pro-
jected him into the thick of the
fight. He, like Thomson, had 210
at the three-quarter mark.
Samuel Jackson Snead-Sluggin
Sam of White Sulphur Springs, w.
Va.-still was very much in the run
ming at 211. He slipped to Lover
par u yesterday to drop out OF a
halfway tie with Revolta for the lead.
Record Appears Doomed.
HORTON SMITH of Chicago,
whose tournament record of
281-set in 1935-appeared almost
certain to fall today, remained in
striking position at 213.
E. j. Harrison OF Little Rock, Ark,
started the day even with Smith at
213. Harrison's 50 was one Of the 10
sub-par rounds yesterday. Byron
Nelson Of Reading. Pa, winner Of the
