that he could stop the cruel and
wholesale Staying of birds there
The Italian fishermen had a prac-
tice of catching a few of these
birds and of binding them, then
fastening them to act as decoys for
the other birds. Their plaintive
cries caused the other birds to come
to see what could be their plight
and they in turn were caught in
nets by the thousands. These multi
tudes of birds were sold to be worn
alive on chains on gala days.
Book Is Vivid.
Dr. Munthe appealed to the gov
ernment to stop this, but to no avail.
So he bought the island. At the
end of his book, the old doctor
pictures his trial in Heaven and the
birds plead for him before the stern
ness of Moses!
A critic has said that DR.. Munthe,
like Petrarch and Chaucer, has
filed his book so full of narrative
and incident, that short story writ
ers could use it for endless sources
of ideas. This is true. There are
narratives connected with medical
study in France and later with
his association with Pasteur and
Charcot; there are stories of vaca-
tions to Norway and Lapland, and
down to Italy; there are human in
terest stories dealing with the lives
of his friends and patients.
Another of his medical stories is
that of the mixed coffins. When
DR.. Munthe was practicing medi-
cine in Paris, he had as patient
a young man from Norway who had
an incurable illness. At the death
of the boy, the family asked DR..
Munthe to escort the body to Nor
way personally. In the freight car
where he was required by law to
travel with a coffin, he met another
man who was escorting to the coast
the body of Russian general. Both
men were to take boats at the
coast, one for Norway, the other for
Russia.
The Coolidge examiner., 1938-08-11
Mixed Funerals.

In Norway DR.. Munthe met the
family and learned of their plan to
open the coffin. Privately he opened
il himself, to see about the embalm-
ing What he saw caused him to
reel backward and to turn white.
The black bushy beard of the Rus
sian general greeted him. DR..
Munthe persuaded the mother not
to see her son. And to this day, the
Russian general lies in Norway and
the Norwegian boy lies in Russia.
His personal acquaintance with
Death took a different turn after DR..
Munthe had practiced medicine
for some years. At first Death
was a personal enemy to be fought
by the bed of one patient; later
Death became a force controlling
the destiny of mankind. For DR..
Munthe was a volunteer to the
plague of Naples, when people dieo
thousand day of cholera.
For readers who like to meet
man who takes life zestfully, DR..
Munthe is recommended. Evident
ly others have the same opinion,
for the copy of The Story Of San
Michele belonging to this writer
is from the sixty-third edition.

95 roads and, pending the negotiation
of a new agreement, existing contracts
between the employer and the en-
ploye on 27 roads have been taken
over.
This makes a total Of 122 railroads

lished contrastual relations. Confer
ences with the remaining roads on

YOUNG BANDITS
 WILL GET CHAIR
Sentenced to Be Electro. cuted for Murder of
 Store Proprietor

Cambridge, Mass, October 5. -~ (uP) - Two youthful bandits who answered Q barrage of milk bottles with Q fatal blast of bullets were taken to state prison early today to await electrocution.

 Superior Judge Wilford D. Gray immediately imposed the mandatory sentence of death in the electric chair, but delayed fixing the date of execution to permit an appeal.
 The guilty" verdict was returned by the jury after 1t had deliberated four hours and 70 minutes, but, be- cause they failed to specify the de- gree, the jurors were forced to re- convene. A half.hour later they reached the first-degree verdict.
 Hardly had his fate been sealed, then Green rose and adressed the court.
 Allow me to congratulate you, MT. McCluskey (the assistant dis. trict attorney, on your personal victory" Green shouted, his voice trembling. Allow me, Sheriff Me- Elroy of Middlesex County, to con- gratulate you, who had evidence in your hands to prove my innocence I thank you, sir"
 St. Sauveur rose to his feet as Green sat down. Not q cough dis turbed the silence of the crowded court room.
 T say now as said before that am not guilty" St. Sauveur said softly. T was not in the store on the night of the murder and there was third party. There Is one per- son in this court room who could clear me, and that Is Wallace w. Green.
 But Wallace W. Green is too rot- ten, too yellow to square me. Yes, the verdict has come back. If 1t is the chair, I will walk toward 1t with Q smile, because I know that he will go down with me and will never again have Q chance to pin anything on anyone else"
 The state charged that Green and St. sauveur murdered Phillips when he ignored their demands for money and threw milk bottles ct them.
