FR0ME REVENGE

Half Dozen Suspects Freed
After Questioning in
Texas Sayings.
BY the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Ell PASO, Tex, April 7.-South-
western officers tried today despite a
bathing scarcity of clues, to re-create a
true picture of the torture slayings Of
Mrs Weston G. Frome. Berkeley, Calf,
eociety matron, and her daughter
Nancy.
Turning to the theory the killings
were motivated by revenge or hate"
officers eliminated half dozen sus-
poets, questioned in four States since
the bodies were found near Van Horn

The Fromes left Ell Paso at noon

Sheriff Chris P Fox of El Paso re-
itersted. revenge or hatred only could
have prompted such a brutal crime"
He sought to learn "all possible" about
Mrs. Frome and Nancy despite Mr.
Frome's assertion robbery apparently
was the murder motive.
California Couple Released.
Mr.. Frome appealed to Texans to
let the law take its course" if the
AulcIs are CdpluitQ.
A young California couple ques-
toned at Laredo, Tex, and a man
quizzed at Rankin about the killings
were released Officers also eliminated
as suspects three men held at Alamo

Bisbee, Ariz
A couple arrested at BroWnwood was
questioned five hours, but officers said
they apparently had no connection
with the killings. A bullet fired from

Auto Story Strengthened.
Roy Jackson, district attorney at
Van Horn, said Truck Driver Jim Mi
lam's statement that he saw a man
and a woman in a dark mystery car
following the Frome auto the day of
the slayings was strengthened by
stories Of two Van Horn citizens.
Juanita Elliott said she saw the
dark two-seated car twice First, she
said, woman was driving it alone,
not far from where the bodies later
were found. Later the machine was
parked off the highway in the same

The Problem
OF Mothers
Free Time
Outside Interest
Very Important
To Enjoy Life.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THE time comes when the children
do not need so much Of their
mothers attention. They don't want it,
in fact. Mother finds that she has
more time to devote to her own in
terests. Now what shall she do? II
she stays home, trying to make work
for herself, she is very likely to get
into the habit Of picking on this
one and that one. irritating herself
and everybody else. She must find
something that interests her, that
calls on her creative powers, puts her
int touch with people and things OUT
side her home. Just what this Is to
be depends upon what she wants to
do or has the ability to do.
Anything that calls for study and
application Of it is fine for the mother
whose home duties are lessened. A
neglected gift can be cultivated now
The notion that only children can
learn is nonsense. A mind can be active
and growing down TO old age. That
sort of mind wards of old age and
should be cultivated for that reason

healthy trim. 1t is only when people
give up learning and decide that they
are through that life loses zest.
It Is possible, too, TO take up q
subject that has attracted one. but
which has had to be passed by
because OF circumstances that for
bade it. 1t Is possible to learn to
play an instrument, to speak in public,
to learn gardening. cooking, sewing
when one has passed first youth If
| the desire to do so Is strong.
Some mothers in this group have
taken up profession and succeeded
in it. The graduates Of colleges whose
work was laid aside for marriage and
motherhood turn to their chosen fields
and perfect themselves in them now
that they are free to do so. It can
be done, and it Is often done.
Civic work attracts many such
women and they do noble work. The
women have votes, which means they
have political power, but that power
has not been exercised in leadership
as much as it might be. The difficulties
are apparent. but they are not insur-
mountable for those who have the
gift for public service. Local gov
ernment Offers an opening. The schools
need the intelligent help Of the women
There Is no reason why men should
dominate the boards Of education
throughout the country as they do
and they could not do it If the women
who had the gift for leadership took
hand.
The various departments Of govern
ment in towns and cities offer plenty
Of opportunity for study and service
The study comes first. The woman
who Is willing to devote few year:
to intensive study Of civic affairs, o
local government problems in par.
ticular, could easily take place o1

The years that lie between thos,

Never Give Bride
Shower Party.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Since you must
think that it is unsuitable for =
member Of the brides family to give
her a shower party, what is your opin-
ion Of such 4 party being given by
the brides cousins? What about the
grooms family?
Answer-The only relationship that
would be in questionable taste is that
of the bride-to-be's mother or sister.
Her cousins or her Observation-Disclosures

they might very well make a comic

possible they have some one else walk
between them. The two little flower

and there is almost no difference In
their height. Frankly. I don't know
what to do about the older girls. You
have said that it does not make .
very pleasing picture to have brides.
maids each walking alone. and YET
I certainly don't believe you would
say that these two girls complement
each other when they are together.
Answer-Certainly the best solution
to your problem would be to ask an
other bridesmaid who is the same
height as the taller one. These two
would then walk first, the shorter gir
would be maid Of honor and tn,

would, of course, be possible to have

Those From Large Families Have
The Best Chance for Success.

And so it goes. 1t is rare to find a

and fortunate are those who are
blessed with 1t in their formative
years.
A famous child specialist said not
long ago that what most of his little

else was plenty Of wholesome neglect.
And that is what the child who be-

The rules are few, simple, and easv
