LOUISVILLE, Ky, Sept. 15.-Lee Klinglesmith, who Iives on farm 50 miles away, had been wanting to get down to Louisville ever since his marriage 30-odd years ago but things never shaped up just right" until after his 67th birthday.

 The treasury head declined to estimate the amount of foreign funds sent here for safe keeping but figures the recent Treasury gold acquisitions indicate several hundred million dollars in foreign cash has arrived in the United States during the past few weeks.
 This movement proves the Unit ed States is the financial center ot tie world and can resist nervous ness of people with money fear. There is no reason for alarm over this amount If the people want to send money here. we will be l. glad to accommodate them said Treasurer Morgenthau.

Foolish Questions
 Lure Sane Answers
By HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
 AP Science Editor

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Three short questions form a new sanity test that predicts how long a newly ar rived patient will take to be cured at a mental hospital
 They were reported by A. A. Low, M D., of the University of Chicago School of Medicine to the American Psychiatric Association.
 Question one: Did you hear about Marshall Field?" The trick in this question is the fact that nothing has happened to Marshall Field to make news or gossip. Any other name could be substituted under similar circumstances.
 Question two: Don't you think you certainly look better than when you came here two weeks ago?" This is asked when the person ar rived only one day previously
 Question three: Do you think you will go home yesterday?'
 The questions are called life situations" Ability to solve them indicates hope for mental recovery.
 But question one might be used to show any sane person how sound his sanity is. There is no standard answer to it, but the clever reply is-"What happened there?" Lode and placer location notice: l0r sale at The Empire Office.

WATER MAKES NEW SACK
 SYRONGER-NOT WEAKER

TOKYO, Sept. 15.-After four years of research, Dr. JunJi Torii, a chemist, is said to have perfected a new type of heavy paper for use in sacks which resists water and sand better than hemp or leather
 It is reported the Japanese army may use the invention to replace jute in the making of sandbags. Jute is imported from India and restricted by trade control. The new paper tends to increase in strength when left in water for prolonged periods.

/. GIRLS MURDER
Identified As One Who
Called Her on Phone

TUNKHANNoCK. Pa, Dec
% GN.SJ.-A smooth-tongued,
sandy-haired individual of me-
oium build was sought today as
the sex slayer of pretty Margaret
Martin, 19-year-old Kingston
girl, whose Ioody was found stuffed
into q buIlap sack in a nearby
creek.
Three persons were said to have
identified him as the person who
called the business school gradu-
ate on the phone and induced her
to meet him at a street intersec-
zion in Kingston and talk over
o job.
One was said to have been
present in the drugstore from
which Miss Martin was called and
was said to have overheard the
telephone conversation. T h e
other two were boys who said
they saw him as he waited in his
car for the girl.
AS National GuardSmen Joined
State, county and city police in
the search for the slayer follow
ing the discovery of the girls
body Wednesday by a trapper, A.
sistant District Attorney John H.
Dando of Luzerne county pre-
dicted that the slayer would be
apprehended within a few days.
I'VE have gone a long way
in our investigation" he said.
= 1--WE can promise an arrest be-
fore Christmas. We hope it
will be much sooner"
GIRL STRANGLED
Physicians who examined Miss
Martins body said that she was
strangled to death. Death, they
said, was swift.
"She was strangled with the
left hand" said Coroner's Ply
sician Gordon G.. Guyler of Lu-
zerne county. "The mans pow
erful fingers shut off her wind
before she could cry out. In
one minute she was uncon-
scious; in three she was dead"
The girl, they said, was slain
within 20 minutes after she en-
tered the killers car and the body
was disposed of three days later.
The killer made crude attempt
to dismember the body, it was
said, making a deep incision with
q knife across the abdomen. He
also tried to sever the left leg.
Two rings were stripped from the
girls fingers.
'PROCURER," is THEORY
Police were of the theory the
man sought may have been a pro
curer for a white slave ring.
1--WE have learned from many
sources" said Major William A.
Clark, district head Of the Penn
sylvania motor police, that it
is an old racket for white slavers
to trap girls in the coal regions
by offering them jobs. Some
girls are considered easy prey
because they come from poor
families and are anxious for
work"
Dando said that the description
bled that of man who made

girls with job offers.

WOBURN, Mass, Dec. %
G.N.sO.-Fiery Mayor William E.
Kane today promised a knock
down, drag-out battle in the courts
against the Indictment of Woburn
as a corporation, returned by the
Middlesex County grand jury
charging failure to provide suffi-
cient funds for school operations.
Conviction would make the city
liable for a fine of $70O, 900, equi-
valent to a tax of $35 on every
man, woman and child in the city.
The indictment, first of its kind
in the history of Massachusetts,

Specifically, the indictment
charged the "city had refused or
neglected to raise taxation money
for the support of the schools. -

Peru. This animal is smaller than
the camel, has smaller feet, longer
ears and a more abbreviated tail.
There are no humps.
In Bolivia and Peru these animals
are used as the beasts of burden.
Whole trains of them arrive each
day at La Paz. They are heavily
laden and they do not grumble
about their lot in life as do the
camels. In fact, they are rather
cheerful beasts, and almost every
native visitor in Cuzco brings his
llama with him. Trunks being un-
known, the animal can be packed
with bundles, and as he is never
known to get out of humor and put
on q temperamental stunt, the bag
gage. upon his broad back is per-
fectly safe.
However, owners are we'll aware
OF their habit of resting. They
travel for long distances until they
arrive at their journeys end, and
usually do not lie down until they
are relieved of their burdens. But
If the owner is too busy or the beast
finds it must rest, down it goes and
there Is no way of persuading the
creature to arise unless the burden
Is removed.

Llamas are cousins 70 the camel
tribe. They are the American men,
bers and are to be found in the
western and southern part of South
America. There are four species,
two wild and two domesticated.
The smallest species is the vicuna,
from the higher mountains of Peru,
and even today you may find them
here In their unspoiled native state.
The next in size is the guanaco,
and this member resides southwark
into Patagonia. From this species
the llama and the alpaca have been
developed by domestication. The al
paca, as you know, is bred for its
wonderful wool, which is very long
and extremely fine.
