CHILD
CONE A MONTH

NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y, March
% G.N.S0.-One month ago today
12-year-old Peter Levine, son of
Murray Levine, well-to-do lawyer,
was kidnapped near his home
here.
Today, the distraught father, for
the first time, gave expression to
fear that his son might be dead.
II wish to repeat that if my
boy is alive, the right parties
can collect the ransom money!
Levine said.
Several notes, repeatedly de-
manding 100000 ransom, have
been received by Levine, but in
spite of the attorneys promise 10
pay the money with no questions
asked for return of the child the
kidnapers have not shown their
hand.
G-men and local police continued
working on the case.

Several complaints about the
Swastikas have been received al
though they were built into the
stack before Hitler came to power
in Germany and adopted the swas-
tika as the official Nazi emblem.
The swastikas are near the top
of the tall hospital chimney and
one faces east and other faces
west. They are of dark bricks
that stand out against the nearly
white bricks of the rest of the
chimney.
Henry R. Shipley OF Boston,
architect for the hospital, revealed
the swastikas had been placed m
the stack merely to break the
of the expanSe of brick

ALUMINIUM FOIL
PROTEST FILED
ON HULL TREATY

d.N.SO A vigorous protest
against any concessions for i'm
ports of aluminium and aluminium
foil below the present seven cents
q pound duty in the pending Brit
ish reciprocal trade treaty nego-
tiations has been lodged with Sec
retary of State Hull.
POINT TO VOLUME
Representative Robert Allen
Cd of Pennsylvania, Mayor Dick
Reeser of Kensington, Pa, and n
small delegation called at the
department to present the protest.
They pointed out that last year
this country imported 100000
pounds of foil even over the seven
cents duty, and that a 100000
, pound order would keep 176 men
at work for nine months.
BLOW AT U. S. TRADE
To reduce the seven-cent duty to
a proposed three and a half cents,
they argued, would seriously in
jure the domestic industry.
Earlier the same delegation pre-
sented its argument at public
hearings being conducted prelim-
mary to formal negotiation of the
trade pact.

MOTHERS DAY.

tomorrow will be Mothers Day anG
1T makes me feel so sad
Because there are so many little chill
dfen without a mother and l think
that's just so bad.
There will be SO many that will go to
see mother on Mothers Day
And I would gladly go to mine but
she is passed away.
There will be many a poor old nothe'
whose hair is turning gray
That will feel so broken because hel
children stayed away
You can send your mother presents;
you can send her flowers sweet
But to be with her on Mothers DAY
is nothing so complete.
Twelve months ago the second Sun
day IN May
] went to see my mother, but now she
is passed away.
| always thought my mother looked
sweeter on Mothers Day
And I thank God for such a sweet
and noble mother when | kneel
down to pray.
Whoever you are and wherever you
are
Go see your mother if it isn't too
FAR.
1t she is young or if she is old
Remember she is worth her weight in
gold.
Just bear in mind that there is nc
other
Can ever take the place of mother.
No sweeter gift God ever gave
l can't go to mother hut 1 can go to
her grave.
If your mother is near you or ia,
| away
Prove that you love her in some little
way.
If she is young, or old and gray
Remember she soon will pass away
Each night when l kneel down tc

The prayer I always utter
Is when my work is done on earth
please take me to my mother.

is now the grand representative Of
the Brand Lodge of North Carolina to

to say that Brother Shrago is LIVE

he calls, some one is sure to answer.
Brother Shrago came to Oxford

at the grave.

like a fellow l knew when l was a
boy He would wear his old hat to

If had million friends,
And even yet another:
All those million and that one,
Though they should try from sun to sun,
Their end would not have yet begun
To take the place of Mother
A million pounds Of purest gold
Would only be bother:
Truthfully tell you now,
With greying hair and wrinkled brow
And faded dress-well anyhow,
I'd rather have my Mother.
If l could have million homes
And live in one or other,
I'd rather have a cottage small,
With grass SO green and trees so tall
Than to have the Million all,
And not to have my Mother.

Not sun, nor moon, nor stars, nor wealth,
Nor riches vast, nor even health,

MATE l3 TIMES
Fight Over Money
Sent Home From
G. c. G. Camp

DAYTON 80 Mrs. Claudia Will
liams, Al, 30T Longworth street, was
seriously stabbed by her enraged
husband, Albert, rs, same address.
According to the police report the
couple had been quarreling for sew
eral days about money sent home
by the husband from the CCC camp.
Williams returned home last Wed
nesday from CCC camp at Peep
les, Ohio, where he had been for
about 5 or 6 months. 1t is claimed
while in camp Albert had sent about
S22 per month home. Upon his ar
rival he decided he wanted some
money and asked his wife for the
same, receiving the information that
she did not have any. The quarrel
started at this point and eliminated
Sunday night about 10 o'clock in
the stabbing.
Williams and his wife retired
about 8 o'clock and AS time went
on they argued more and more. He
got out Of bed, procured his switch
blade knife and began cutting
Claudia. It IS alleged that he at first
attempted to cut her throat but she
protected herself from this by put
ting her arms up. Unsuccessful IN
this, he knocked the woman to tie
floor, getting on top Of her and
stabbing her 13 times in the chest
and abdomen. One thrust was so
violent that he broke the blade off
at the handle.
Mrs. Henrietta Menser, mother Of
Claudia who was in the next room,
heard her daughters frantic pleas
for help, mingled with begging foi
mercy, rushed into the room and
attempted to beg him not to cut the
woman's throat. He said he wouldn't
knocking her to the floor at this
point, getting on her to continue his
stabbing.
Williams is said to be about 6 feet
in height and weighing approximate
III $40 pounds; his wife is said to
be about 5 feet, 4 inches, weighing
between 125 and 130 pounds.
In the scuffle Williams is alleged
to have missed one Of his stabs,
striking himself with the knife IN
the left wrist. There was SO much
power behind the thrust that he
severed all the arteries, veins and
leaders in his wrist Realizing the
seriousness of his injury, he went
to the hospital and asked for medi-
cal aid Here he was arrested and IS
being held on suspicion, pending the
outcome of his wife's condition.
Hospital attaches had to put his arm
