Kicking Bucket
Origin Explained

KALAMAZOO, Mich, April 8
QN.SO.-The expression "kick the
bucket" meaning to die, originated
in the lumber camps, claims A. s..
Draper. Draper, who spent his
youth in the timber camps, says
the "tenderfoot" in camp was
forced to stand with his back to
the wall and jump outward. Then.
after a bucket or keg was placed
behind him without his knowledge,
he was told to jump back and con-
sequently went sprawling across
the floor. That was what the
lumberjacks called Kicking the
bucket"

Doping China
Narcotics Production
Forced by Japan

NEW YORK, April 8 Q.N.SO.
Use Of narcotics by Japan as an
instrument of national policy to
weaken the Chinese race is re-
vealed by Frank C. Waldrop, of
the Washington Herald, in an
article entitled, Public Enemy
No. Dope" in the May issue
of Cosmopolitan Magazine, out
today.
Waldrop reveals that as the
Japanese war machine ploughs
through China, an increase in
opium-poppy production is forced
and morphine factories are estab.
liShed Immediately in the con-
quered area.
This industry (narcotic),"
writes Waldrop, "has spread it's
tentacleS through the Far East,
and has direct connections with
the narcotic rings in Europe
and America. The United
States is the big money market,
and the objective of every drug
syndicate"

BRITAIN FILES
OVER
SEIZURE OF OIL
Economic Pressure Due
If U. S. Cooperates

LONDON, April 8 G.N.S).-The
British government today lodged
a stern protest with Mexico over
the appropriation Of $500,000, 900
worth of British and American oil
properties.
In a note delivered to the gov
eminent of President Lazaro M.
Cardenas, Britain characterized
the seizure as Inherently unjusti-
fled" and demanded restoration
of British-owned property.
In the event Mexico rejects the
r e storation demand, it was
learned, Britain will be compelled
to consider economic action to
bring pressure to bear.
Such action would be taken
only after consultation with the
United States and would be "paral.
lei" to any pressure exerted by
Washington.
The protest specifically de-
manded restoration Of the Mexi-
can Eagle Oil Company's proper
ties. The British minister at
Mexico City was instructed to in
form the Cardenas regime that
his majesty's government had
hoped the Mexican government
would have recognized the injuS-
tice Of its action and take steps on
it's own initiative to adopt the
only method that can really
remedy the Situation-restoration
of the properties"
The minister further was in.
structed to point out that the oil
companies were ready to discuss
the labor questions involved ION
an equitable basis.'

Maryland Farmer
Shoots Wife and
Then Kills Himself
Restaurant Is Scene
of Tragedy in
Rockville
BY KENNETH M. ELLIS

Three bullets from a .3s-caliber
short-barrelled revolver yesterday
plotted out the life of a young
Maryland dairy farmer, and sent
his estranged wife to Georgetown
Hospital critically wounded.
This was the answer Of Ray
Hash, Is, to the refusal of his 49,
year.old wife, Mabel, to return to
him, after his maddened pleas Of
several days.
"STILL LOVE HIM"
Gasping for breath on her bed
at the hospital, the young wife,
unaware that Hash had put a
bullet through his brain as she
ran, wounded to the door of the
Rockville restaurant on Montgom-
cry Street, Rockville, cried:
II still love him! I don't know
why he did it-but I still love
himn
Hash left his dairy farm at
Ounce Orchard, Md, about 6
O'Clock last night and came to the
Rockville restaurant, owned by
Mrs. Myrtle Long. There Mrs.
Hash had found employment
through her sister, Mrs. Margaret
de Bow, waitress. Hash had
come several times to the restau-
rant to beg his wife to return to
him.
LONE CUSTOMER
A lone customer, Emory Sum-
merS, was eating a sandwich at
the counter.
Hash leaned over to plead in
harsh whispers with his wife.
Beside her stood Mrs. de Bow
and her seven-year-old daughter,
Geraldine.
Il don't want you to work
here. You're going to leave this
place and come back to me-"
whispered young Hash.
NO" his wife replied firmly,
also in a whisper, Il am not 60
ing to do that"
Hash followed her around the
counter, whipping out the revolver
and firing a shot that barely
grazed his wife's side.
SECOND SHOT
He fired a second time and the
bullet crashed through her chest,
Shattering a rib. She ran scream
ing for the door. Hash turned
the gun on himself and fired a
bullet into his head, which passed
through, cut its way through a
window so feet away and narrowly
missed several women standing in
the street. He slumped under the
counter, dead.
Frances Hash, sister of the
suicide slayer, is also a waitress
in the Rockville restaurant, and
had just gone off duty a few
minutes before the tragedy.
Four years ago Hash's father,
Edgar ]. Hash, was killed by Roy's
brother. Lowell, with a crowbar.
For this death Lowell served a
year in jail.
