Police Recall
Mystery NOUeL

IMPERIAL, Pa, May 13 Q.N.SD
Only q week ago pretty red-haired
Marlene O'Brien, whose brutal
mystery slayer Kansas police were
seeking today, was busily engrossed
in reading a mystery and murder
story herself.
Last May S, Pennsylvania State
motor police here stopped the girl
as she was riding on a freight
truck through the town, and queS-
toned her.
The police said she had nothing
to identify her other than a dairy
with her name on the front cover.
When asked why she was travel
ing without any apparent identifi.
cation or funds she was said to
have told police her handbag was
stolen in New York City before
she started on her hitchhiking
trip to California-"her home"
When brought before Squire
Drugman she was said to have had
only a few personal belongings
with her including the diary,
cheap pocketbook and a mystery
novel.
On the front page of the novel
was written the name Bob Eden. "
The motor police checked her
on the wanted or missing per
sons" list and sent out her de-
Scriptton on the teletype, but upon
receiving no complaints she was
released.
The Washington times., 1938-05-13

State police ordered q search for
the motorist after it was learned
the 25-year old woman had been
seen with him at a filling station
here q few hours before she was
found beaten and strangled to
death on q "lover'S lane" near
town.
A farmer found the body when
he came down the path for his
mail yesterday. The girls face
was badly bruised and a short rope
had been twisted around her
throat.
"RODE WITH SWELL FELLOW"
Investigators found no other
clues to identify the stranger, the
victims diary Of her trip ending
on the day before her death when
she was apparently riding with an
other man. It stated under the
date Of May 8:
Sure rode with q swell fel-
low tonight. One in a million"
The corOner's office was await
ing word from relatives for further
information about the young wom-
an since the only Identification
found was the diary, which bore
the misspelled inscription:
my dairy - by Marlene
O'Brien."
SAILOR mot DANGEROUS"
It contained daily account of
her journey and brief comments
on the people who had given her
rides. She designated one of
them as a sailor and wrote:
"He wasn't so dangerous. I
wonder If they're all like that"

MAKE Perfect
CUSTARD PIE
THIS EASY way
Filling delicately firm,
crust so tender and flaky

Here's the new way to make
custard pie that gives success every
time. Just remember two things.
First, bake your pie in VeTy hot
oven (450') Then your filling won't
soak into the crust and make 1t
soggy. Second, use Spry, the new,
purer ALL-vegetable shortening to
get eTtrG flaky, tender crust.
TripIe-creGned Spry gives fiakier
pastry, lighter cakes In half the
mixing time. Cooking experts for
281 home-making schools say it's
the creamiest shortening they ever
used. Better for frying, too. Try
Spry-make this pie today!
Custard Pie
3eggs and 2 egg yolksor Soups milk
n cup sugar Spry Pie Shell
u teaspoon salt Nutmeg
Beat eggs slightly and add sugar
and salt. Add milk and vanilla.
Strain custard mixture into un-
baked pie shell and sprinkle with
nutmeg. Bake in very hot oven
(450' F.) 80 to 40 minutes, or until
knife inserted comes out clean.
Spry Pie Shell
~ cups sifted all u cup Spry
purpose -four tablespoons cold
teaspoon salt water (about)
Sift -four and salt together. Add
u Of Spry and cut in until mix
ture Is as fine as corn meal. Add
remaining Spry and continue cut
ting until particles are size of a
navy bean. (Notice how easily
triple-creGmed Spry cuts into your
flour) Sprinkle water, table
spoon at a time, over mixture.
With a fork, work lightly together
until a dough is formed. Roll
dough h-inch thick. Place dough
in pie plate and let relax 3 min
utes. Pat with ball Of dough. Trim
pastry h-inch larger than pan and
turn back edge. Flute rim.

The range of this fellow is wide, from
Ohio to Kansas, southwark to the

10 inches, with a width Of about 7la
inches. There is half an inch differ
ence in length between the upper
shell (carapace) and the lower shell
(plastron).
The coloration of elegans is very
festive. The plastron is a rich vel
low, deeply clouded with black or dark
brown. The carapace is not deeply
grooved or furrowed, as is seen in
the yellow-bellied terrapin, for which
1t Is so often mistaken, but is an
olive brown or black ground color, with
yellow bands extending downward from
the central part. AS elegans takes on
age the bright colors fade, as do many
OF the lines. However, the head pat
tern Is vivid and remains so.
The top of the head and the sides
have numerous pale yellow-green lines
From the corner of the eye to the base
OF the head is band of rich deep
crimson. When this terrapin goes
out for stroll. he looks as if he
were made up for a masquerade ball

these terrapins are expert swimmers
There are sharp claws on the toes
and they can inflict painful wounds
Though the tail is brief. if you can
hold fast to it and carry your prize
for enough away from your body, this
is the best way to handle your ter
rapin.
Submerged logs that are exposed
at lowtide furnish the terrapins with
summing post as we'll as a diving
board. You can see large parties en-
joying the ultraviolet rays at midday.
They usually arrange themselves in
row, and at the slightest disturbance
on shore they will with one accord
slide into the water below.
The younger generation makes in
teresting pets, and these soon recog-
ME friends that have delectable It'd
bits for them. The brightly colored
csrapace and the brilliant red band
on either side of the head make you
think of little boy with a crimson
tie on. They never hiss or try to bite
unless teased, and of all the terrapins
they seem to resent familiarities the
least.

Eiffel Tower Nav Stay.

People in France refuse to believe
stories that the famous Eiffel Tower
in Paris is to be torn down. They
say they have heard such rumors be-
fore. Those in the know declare that
the structure will remain for a while
longer at least, for it is still making
a profit Last year it was visited by
more than 100000 people and the re-
ceipts totaled 100000. Eiffel Tower
was erected 40 years ago and took
two years to complete Within the
first year it had more than paid for
itself.

ut is an excellent plan to ap-
ply plant food to the perennial
border before the plants begin
to grow. Care should be taken,
however, while raking it in not
to break any of the plants that
are just beginning to come up.
There will be little danger of such
damage if the work is done very
early. A complete commercial
fertilizer. such as can be pur-
chased at any seed store, is the
best thing to use. Proportions
differ, of course, according to the
strength of the fertilizer, but one
round tablespoonful for each
square foot of surface is about
right on the average. Fertilizer
can be applied on top of a mulch
if the mulch is not too heavy.
The rain will wash it into the
soil.

Floyd Pitts and Guy Mover Plan Two-Year Stay
 Above Circle

High on the upper reaches of the Kobuk River lie the Lockwood Hills Small streams tumble down theli northern slopes to that rippling river of romance and poem. On the south side, the Hogatza River begins its staggering run to the Koyukuk, the Yukon, and thence to Boring Sea.
 With the picture in mind, mark "x' where little Till heads in the Lockwood Hills, takes a jump and a half and meets the Hogatza. You don't know even to a slight extent, if you've ever been there, what that cross mark actually covers.
 Two Alaska Juneau employees, Fred Pitts and Guy Mover, are just as much in the dark as the average person as to what might be expected to be found where such an K" marks the map, but they are going to leave Juneau next month for Fairbanks and fly into the Lockwood Hills to sec and prospect.
 Why they marked a cross on the map in that particular place, neither Fred nor Guy can tell you, but they are tired of working for wages and weary of the routine of job and city life"
 Both have been in Juneau for five years. coming from Eastern United States. Neither are mining engineers, and both have had little prospect ing experience, but unlike most of us who have an inclination to follow a dreaming finger on the map, Pitts and Mover will leave Juneau on June 21 for that fascinating cross on the map that hangs a fraction of an inch above the Arctic Circle
 From Fairbanks they will fly to their chosen place with Pilot L. F. Barr, former Juneau pilot. They will make three trips with three tons of supplies and they intend to stay two or three years.
 On the first flight in, Barr will drop the initial freight load and land light, clear a landing field and then return with the final two loads.
 There will be picks and shovels and food and clothing and all the necessities of a life far from the man-made street.
 They will take traps and snares with which to earn enough money in the long winter months to pad out their not-too sufficient funds. They will take fiber-glass cloth to use for windows in place of the oiled paper that serves m most wilderness homes.
 And like the prospector of score of years before, they will take a whipsaw with which they will work out their own lumber for slLice boxes and cabin lumber.
