King Carol was unwilling that
Nine. Magda Lupescu of the flam-

largely responsible.
Control of the dictatorial regime

said, land it must have my ap-

And from Paris Nine. Lupescu
in an interview with The People

not for the reasons my enemies
advanced.

GIRL, 13, BOY, AL
SKIP CLASSES.
FOR HONEYMOON.
Indiana Police Asked
To>HaIt EIopement

BREMEN, Ind, Jan. 10 Q,NSO.
Fleeing legal barriers, girl OF 13
and a boy one year older today
sought a honeymoon haven.
Thus did the second child ro-
nance this month come to the
attention of Indiana authorities
as police were asked to break UP
the elopement of Edwena Keyser
and Lowell Mast, eighth-grade
sweethearts here.
Only few days ago Betty June
LAGER, IL, and Tommy Chapman,
10. became the parents of baby
boy in Linton, Ind, and officials
are still trying to decide what
shall be done in the case.
HAD BARELY S5
Just as Betty June and Tommy
were unable to marry because OF
their age, Edwena and Lowell
found the law forbade them full
filling their hearts desire to set
up housekeeping.
So, in a childish disregard fer
the future, the youngsters drove
away in the Keyser family car
during their luncheon recess at
school on Friday in quest of some
body to marry them.
They had, as far as is known,
about $5-barely enough to buy
food and gasoline for couple of
days.
PARENTS UNWORRIED
Philosophic about their disap-
pearance, the parents of both boy
and girl, said in effect:
They'll turn up sooner or
later-aS soon as they get hun
cry or are recognized. Time
enough to worry about what
we'll do if they're married, when
they get home"
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Wilbur Key
ser and Mr.. and Mrs. Wilbur Mast
were certain the children had
eloped. The youngsters, they said,
had casually referred to each
other as "sweethearts" for several
years and talked vaguely Of the
time they would be married.

So Sidney Wentworth, nation
ally famous pomologist, regarded
as the foremost authority on apple
culture in the country, shot him.
self between the eyes with a shot
gun shortly after 7 a. m. today.
HAD LOST POSITION
His body was found on a bridge
on the University Of Maryland
driveway-and a note mentioning
that he had been dismissed last
fall from his professorship of hor-
ticulture, after the university had
carried him, though i'll, for the
year before that.
He left a note, too, beside his
wife's pillow, before he left their
home at 104 Shepherd Avenue,
University Park. She would not
divulge it's contents, and at her
request police withheld the con-
tents of the note found when Mel
vim Simms, of Berwyn, stumbled
over his body a few minutes after
the shotgun took the top Of his
head off.
WON WAR FAME
Prof. Wentworth was born in
Hollis, N. H., in 1894, and during
the World War, as captain Of
Marines, he won distinction COM
manding the unit attached to the
U. S. S. Nevada, which conveyed
troop ships through the subma-
rine zones in the American battle
ship division of the grand fleet.
He was formerly commander of
the Farmer-Snyder Post Of the
American Legion in Hyattsville,
Md.
His college days were marked by
his passion for his science. He
won honors at the University OF
New Hampshire and at Cornell,
where he spent three years in
search. He went as assistant
professor of pomology to the Uni
versity of New Mexico, and later
to his New Hampshire college and
back to Cornell in the same ca
pacity before coming to the Uni
versity of Maryland.
EXTENSIVE WRITING
He published many articles on
the culture and care of apples, and
the control of apple pests, and was
a member of Alpha Tau Omega
fraternity. He was also a Mason
and a member of many scientific,
civic and fraternal societies.
Last year he became i'll, and
the University of Maryland re,
ieved him of teaching but carried
him on it's pay roll. Last fall he
was dropped from the pay roll.
And, at A, with a wife, son and
daughter, the worry of his situa-
ton was too much for him.
DR.. Martin Keane, of Riverdale,
called by police, who were notified
of his shooting, pronounced him
dead, and Justice of the Peace Fred
Lutz issued a certificate of suicide.
He is survived by his widow, Ber-
nice; his son, William R., Is, and
a daughter, Wilma, IL.

Paris Styles

Paris (UP) ).-Accessories tempo raYily take the fashion spotlight, while coats and dresses retire from the stage until the curtain rolls up on the mid-season collections.
 Although some of the veteran Paris dressmakers still refuse to follow the whimsical ways of cos tune jewelry, collars and "gad- gets" in general there are others who regard accessories with as much reverance as the clothes which they enhance.
 Schiaparelli, Maggy Rou1 and Jacques Helm are among those whose fertile brains never seem to falter in conjuring up some tricky new thing to add spice to the fash ion menu.
 The scarf trend may well be talk en as indicative of the French state of mind. Now that the general political situation has calmed down France has thrown off the more somber woolen scarves of winter and without regard for sex the nation as whole is turning to gay silk scarves.
 Rouff is particularly fond of a soft silk in a Scotch plaid pat tern-which goes with any color and almost any type of ensemble. Worth and many others are suggesting a return to the Roman stripes of yore in displays of heavy satin scarves, straight style, fringed ends, colors

home. This won't do, it seems, so you have another case for the de- fense on your hands.
 i Mack's turn next: from high school he comes, and slams down his books. Wouldn't you know, he growls, that old Ferris would give him double math to make up for last week? Just when a car load of fellows was going to Sutter's to swim. He'd missed the crowd by five minutes while Ferris was har- anguing him.
 Coach In Self Control By this time, something tells you that your nerves have received the full brunt of everyone's disappoint- ment. Marie takes it out in pout- ing, Junior in stubborness, Mack in rage. The present crisis at land will pass for each of them, but by evening it will be something else.
 You, too, are disappointed, be- cause you had to turn down Laura's invitation to drive. But you have kept quiet. Anyhow, the children would not have been interested in your worries, although they expect you to be heartsore over theirs.
 Every mother who can do so, will reap a harvest of comfort and peace if she can coach her family in self control.
 Homes are what its members make it. There is no real reason why each child should not learn to swallow at least part of his in- convenience. I would not trade one home where good breeding and con- trol quietly rule, for ten of the other kind, "repressions" nor no repres- sions notwithstanding
 Be An Example Yourself Control means the schooling of features as we'll as the tongue. This | is the first step in graciousness. It is also the first gesture toward fine character.
 When parents set an example of uncontrol, children can be expected to follow suit, except, of course, where fear keeps them quiet. This is not the kind of self control I mean. It is not even related to self dis cipline. To be worth the name, self control must come from a decent desire to be the best one can.

 The eyes are one of the first tell- tales of age. Long before there is a sign of a crows foot line or even a faint suggestion of crepiness, the woman who wants to look her best through the years begins to give the skin around her eyes regular and correct attention and the eyes them- selves the coddling they deserve.
 With gentle rotary motions, she messages rich night cream around her eyes every single night. She pats cream into the area where crows feet can be expected to ap- pear in later years. She wears dark glasses on the beach, for golf, mo- toring and so on. She doesn't reaG in bad light. She tries never tc squint And if an eye doctor says she ought to wear glasses she wears | them.
 Moderns realize that adequate sleep, plenty of outdoor exercise and lots of sunshine preserve the naturally youthful sparkle that yOQllS CJ co 4ldfCs SllC WllO SuloA- yates good health habits and really averages eight hours of sleep a night just isn't going to have dull lustreless-l looking eyes by the time she is forty.
 Tired Eyes Are Dull
 Then, too, eyes may not be the mirrors of the soul, as the poet said but it is true that a happy, content ed, rested person has more sparkle in her eyes that one who is tired most of the time or who always is | complaining and making herself more unhappy than she actually has a right to be.
 Every woman should strive tt keep herself in topnotch physica contition, then try not to let little things make her too, miserable There are enough big problems t( be faced, and it usually is wiser tt save your energy, worries, ever tears for them, endeavoring to take comparatively small problems philo. sophically.
 Manufacturers of cosmetics art doing their part to help you in youi struggle for lovelier, livelier eyes. Ir addition to the excellent eye creams to be used at night, there are many preparations that are supposed te make lasheS grow more luxuriantly And, of course, there are various mascaras that are easy to apply ano which are waterproof.
 Blue mascara is the rage of the moment. Fashionables like it witt the new pink makeup. And it's especially flattering with blue even- ing gowns in shades ranging from deep midnight blue to slate ano hyacinth shades. If your lashes are quite colorless and you feel that you need mascara during daytime hours by all means choose one which doesn't make the little hairs stick together. And use it sparingly.
 It just isn't smart to have youl eyebrows tweezed into thin, hard unnatural lines. Let them grow as nature intended, pulling out only hairs which grow above the bridge of your nose between brows and or upper part of lids.

 First Lady Keeps Figure And Health By Diet And Trick of "Inward Sleep"

Mrs. Roosevelt can, and often does, relax completely for minute or two in roomful of people" MT Cranker continued. "She has trained herself to go to sleep inwardly for a few moments, thereby calming her nerves, giving her mind a fresh or derliness. If she is in need of rest, she can close her eyes and fall asleep on plane, train or in an automobile.
 "The First Lady realizes that one goes to bed to Sleep-not to worry. When she retires, she pushes all thoughts exceEs now I must sleep out of her mirS. Worrying can wait until next morning. There's a time and place for everything-daytime hours are for problem solving. Nighttime is for relaxation and rest. And this formula undoubt- edly accounts for the tremendous energy Mrs. Roosevelt has,"
 Then, too, she is an orderly per- son, as the majority of those who accomplish great deal usually are. She makes the average days plan in advance, and, generally speaking, follows it carefully. This way, she doesn't waste time deciding what to do next. Each daily plan always allows the First Lady a little time for herself-time to do something to keep herself awake, mentally and physically.
 Mrs. Roosevelt knows that if she is to give the bulk of her time to others-as she always has-then some little part must be set aside for exercise or other means of improv- ing her own health. Those who re- spect their own mental and physi- cal health are the ones most apt to be useful and helpful to their felloWlnen.

| NEA Service Staff Correspondent New York.-Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt would be runner-up, if not the winner, in any dietetic con- test.
 According to William H. Cranker, the health expert who has discussed diet problems many times with the First Lady, Mrs. Roose- welt is an authority on the caloric content of familiar dishes.
 "She can tell at glance ap- proximately how many calories the dish that is placed before her con- tains. If it's a calory-rich one, she eats only a little of it. She knows full well that the woman who gets her IS or IS hundred calories in bulky foods, such as fruit, lean meat and vegetables, will not be hun- gry between meals. But that one who concentrates the same number in few pieces of rich pastry and a starchy dish or two probably will be.
 Eats Only What She Needs
 Furthermore. Mrs. Roosevelt takes stimulating drinks-tea, coffee, and so on-in moderation, and very rarely takes any alcoholic beverages. She accepts a cocktail because she's too gracious to refuse, but she does not drink much of it. For the same reason, she usually accepts cigar cite, but she does not smoke"
 Eleanor Roosevelt likes the sim plest food. She meticulously avoids connections. She has learned to prefer fresh fruits and vegetables to rich, very highly seasoned or heavy starchy dishes. She has stayed slen- der and supple through the years because she learned long ago to control her appetite-neYer to eat
