CHAPTER 9

! LIFE, THOUGHT sara sue
Davis, is an extremely complicated
process.
This morning she was working
as If Simon Legree stood over her
with q whip. She swept ana
Iinopped, shook rugs. scrubbed the
two bathrooms in her cottage,
washed some blankets, and raked
lin her yard. She hardly spoke a
word.
@Stop all that hard work, chile"
Cleopatra Jones ordered her, twice.
'"Ah makes this good-for-nothin'
ICalc'lus do ever bit Of that,
sma'ain."
Il need the exercise. thanks.
Cleo"
Cleo went back to her baking,
imuttering protests. The middle
aged Negress maintained self
appointed guardianship over Sara,
Sue. She knew the white girl was
disturbed.
!. But Sara Sue had deal of
thinking to do, and thinking comes
best sometimes when accompanied
by physical action. She had start
led first to go to Hermann park
golf course. Hermann park, vast
and beautiful woodland, began just
one block back of her cottage. She
could walk to the first tee in 10
minutes. Or she could walk to the
park tennis court in even less time.
But at either place she was sure to
meet someone she knew and so
have to be sociable. She wanted to
think, alone.
BY IL a. M, though, the mood
changed, and she wanted someone
to talk to. She called her friend,
Mrs. Powell, on the phone. "Roxie,
come out and let's play set of
tennis, can't you? You can leave
the baby here"
Roxie Powell had the cutest two
year-old, nicknamed Bounce. He
and his mother arrived in half an
hour, but he declined to be left in
;Cleo's charge. He declined vocifer-
ously, and so Roxie and Sara Sue
took him to the tennis courts. He
got in the way and was all manner
of trouble; and fun. Which was
adeal, for it helped Sara Sue regain
her good hurnor, in some measure.
Sara Sue played excellent tennis,
but she had been tired when she
started. For one thing, she hadn't
slept too well. DR.: Thornton Hol-
gate had sat in her living room UNI
til after midnight. What he had
told her had upset her a great
deal. She lay awake until 2 a. m.
thinking about it, and dreamed fit
fully after that. She was up at z.
When the set score reached four
all, fatigue overlook her and Roxie
won the last two games.
"Darnw said Sara Sue, Topping
on a sideline bench.
"Yeah, you're slipping" Roxie
;chided. "Old wilder woman" Roxie

Roxie turned to look at her

at tennis seriously.

Sara Sue laughed now, almost
gaily. Then she yawned, stretched,

up to play with him. Roxie did not
press her questions. She knew Sara
Sue intimately. She waited, and
played with Bounce, too. Pretty
soon Sara Sue wanted to talk, but It

CHINESE LEADER
 CHANGES PLANS

Shanghai. April 19-(UP)-Gen- eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek has de- cided to abandon the Chinese of- fensive in Southern Shantung Prov ince to meet an anticipated Japan ese drive on Suchow, it was report ed today.
 Suchow, strategic point on China's 'Maginot Line" along the Lunghai railroad, is one of the key city's in the defense of Hankow, the provi- sional Chinese capital.
 Chinese reports admitted that their Big Swords" failed to fulfill Generalissimo Chiang's order to cap- ture Yihsien, on a branch line of the Tientsin-Pukow railroad North of SuchoW.
 The Chinese reported that Chiang now has ordered his troops concen- trated North and South of Suchow to meet an anticipated campaign of 500,000 Japanese against his chief defense line. Reports said that the Chinese were hastily fortifying the area,

(Continued from Page D informally with Ciano and that he made the appointment for the for nal meeting today.
 There was every prospect, accord ing to belief in diplomatic quarters, that Italy and France would reach an agreement quickly. From the fact that authoritative sources said that actual conversations might start to- morrow. 1t was deduced that Musso- lini was ready to effect an agree ment before the visit to Rome of Adolf Hitler during the first week in May and that France, by agree ment with Britain, was ready to negotiate on 8 business basis be- fore the visit of Premier Edouard Daladier and Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet to London April 28.
 Eager for Agreement
 It was indicated that Italy as well as France was eager to reach an agreement, and it was reported that as a gesture of friendship, Mussolini had decided to cancel army man. euvers which he had intended to hold at the end of May in Libya, near the frontier of French Tunisia
 It was reported also that this summers navy and air force ma neuvers might be curtailed if not actually cancelled.
 Economy was mentioned as the reason for the reported decision to curtail the navy-air maneuvers and to a certain extent for the reported decision not to hold the Libyan army maneuvers. But it seemed logical to assume also that Italy's strengthened diplomatic position played a big role.
 Even as Ciano and Blondel talked today it was announced that Czechoslovakia, one of the French sponsored little entente nations, had recognized Italy's Ethiopian con- quest.
 Frantisek Chvalkovsky, Czecho- slovakian minister, visited Ciano and informed him that Czechoslova- kia in future would consider its minister as accredited to King Vic- tor Emmanuel both as King of Italy and Emperor of Ethiopia. This ef- fected the recognition.

Oklahoma City, April 19-(UP)- An elderly, one-armed man today entered the office of an oil company in the First National Bank building and shot John Porter, the office manager, and a girl employe, Wilma Simmons.
 The man. using an old style re- volver, then wounded himself in the neck, police said.
 The man surrendered and said:
 I'm sick, old, tired and no good I want to die"
 Police said that the man fired only once, but the bullet glanced off porter's chest bone and hit the girl.
 The aged man was taken to police headquarters and charged with as- sault with intent to kill. Physicians said that his wound was not serious.

ANOTHER YOUNG| GIRL SUICIDES.
TheIma GirOux Jumps to Death From Fifth Floor
 of Hotel

New York, April 19.-CUP)- Thelma Giroux, beautiful blonde dancer, fell naked to her death on the sidewalk today from the fifth floor of the Hotel Lincoln, one block off Broadway.
 In her hotel room, from where she plunged, police found John Stoppelli, an ex-convict. He told them that he had been her sweet heart for two years. He is known also as John the Bug," and has been arrested for possessing mar cotics and carrying gun.
 Miss Giroux' death duplicated that of Norma De Marco, pretty, 22.year- habitue of Greenwich Village nightclubs, whose naked body crashed to an alley from the 18th floor of an apartment building last week. Two days before, Miss De Marco had been witness to night club holdup in which a policeman was slain and three bandits wound- ed and captured.
 Coincidently, Miss Giroux spent part of last night in Greenwich Vil- lage bars with friend from the Paradise restaurant, where she did a speciality dance in 1886.
 Miss Giroux, who had blonde hair that hung to her shoulders and beautiful body, lay crushed and un- conscious in the street for several minutes. Hotel guests were among the first to reach her. Dr. Gene Repstra of Chicago attended her un- til police surgeons arrived and the Rev. Edward Burke of Chicago ad- ministered last rites.
 It was 2:15 a. m. when she fell, and APO a. m. she died in a hospi- tai.
 Police questioned Stoppelli in the girls hotel room until 6 a. m., when they took him to precinct station and locked him up. Later they re- leased him.

MARTHA CLIFFORD ADVISES PARENTS
Responsibilities of Both Outlined By Child
 Hygiene Director

Both the father and the expectant mother can do much in the line Of wise planning and putting into prac- tice certain health principles dur ! ing pregnancy to safeguard the fu- 1 ture health of both mother and child, Dr. Martha L. Clifford, di- rector of the Bureau of Child Hy- giene of the State Department of Health, declared in the departments weekly broadcast today. Dr. Cliff ford outlined the responsibilities of both parents.
 Little Courtesies
 There are three special ways in which the husband can help, she said: first, he should make it his business to know what good ma ternity care is and see that his wife receives the best medical care avail able; second, he should find ways of diverting the young mothers atten- ton and show her little courtesies that he knows will please her; third he should help with the heavy lift ing in the household work. When pregnancy is first suspected, he should accompany his wife to the doctors office where complete phy- sical examination and blood test show what special precautions the mother should take. The doctor will give wise and friendly advice to help them carry out important health rules for making 8 strong baby and a healthy mother. Adequate pre- natal care also requires an early visit to the dentists.
 It is the mothers responsibility, Dr. Clifford said, to follow the doc tors advice for her case and to carry out certain health habits, including proper food and rest, moderate ex- ercise and sufficient mental inter ests. Her food should include abundant milk, at least quart a day, and perhaps cod liver oil, both of which maintain the mothers cal- cium resources during the time the infants body is developing its bony structure and drawing on the call cium- containing tissues of the mother. This will also protect the mothers own teeth. There is no need for mother to lose teeth as a result of childbearing, the doctor stated.
 Rest Periods
 The mother should have frequent rest periods, at least one during the morning and one during the after noon. Her exercise should be mod crate and special effort should be made to take some exercise in oper air. The mother must spare her. self from heavy work and excessive fatigue. She should stop physica exertion, whether it be housework ol outdoor exercise, before she feel tired.
 Mothers of today have a better opportunity to remain well ane strong because medical science ane skilled physicians now make 1t pos. sible for them to have adequate pre-. natal, obstetrical and postnatal care Dr. Clifford said, urging both par. ents to cooperate in getting that care and in following the physician: advice.

 Five Possibilities
 Five possibilities were considered and rejected: CD That Whitfield was suffering amnesia; CD that he had had family trouble; (3) that he fell into the ocean; (4) that he was kidnapped; (5) that he was dissatis- fled with his job.
 Disputing those theories, John N. Whitfield said his brother never had suffered any nervous or mental trou- ble; that he was happily married and that "his wife is almost crazy with grief now" the weather bu- reau said that flying conditions were perfect Friday morning, with unlim- tied visibility and 8 gentle breeze coming in from the ocean; the island and nearby sea had been thorough | ly Searcned TOT WrecKage. | As for Kidnapping, John N.

 May Be In Hiding
 So the search proceeded on the theory that Whitfield was hiding for some unexplained reason. The F. B. I. agents sent message to the Red Star liner Westernland at sea, checking a report that Whitfield had boarded that ship for Europe Friday. The ship captain replied that Whitfield was not aboard. Owen P. Harwood, inspector for the bureau of air commerce at Roose- welt Field, directed the investigation. Whitfield was the blood nephew of Mrs. Andrew Carnegie. He did not share in the late steel magnate's estate.
 May Have Been Seen
 Aver, Mass, April 19 - lU.P) - A youth answering the description of Andrew Carnegie Whitfield, miss ing nephew of the late Andrew Car negie, was reported seen in a restau- rant here early today.
 Policeman John Downing said while he was eating at 2:30 8. m. and looking at a newspaper picture of the missing youth, two men en- tered. One of them he said looked like Whitfield and was dressed in a gray ski jacket and expensive sports clothes His companion was describ- ed as roughly dressed and wearing glasses.
 The youth asked Downing what state he was in and how far he was from the Connecticut State line. After they left Downing called state police woh communicated with po- lice at Albany, N. Y.

KEPT HUSBAND
 HER PRISONER
Chicago Judge AstOnished at Peculiar Case-TO
 Consider It

Chicago, April 18-(UP)-Judge Philip J. Sullivan admitted today that he was confused by the un- usual case of John Thomas, 34. Thomas stepped before the bench, his clothes disheveled, his face lined. The judge raised his eyebrows. "He can't help it, your honor," Attorney Max Lurie said. "He just got out of the basement" "Basement?' "Yes, he's been there since Febru- ary because of the dogs"
 Drank Up Profits
 "Just a minute, judge" said Mrs. Annie Thomas. Its true my hus- band was in the basement but it was necessary. I run tavern and he drank up all the profits" But the dogs?" "I'll answer that" Vic- tor Frolich, attorney for Mrs. Thomas said. My client fixed up a nice cot in the basement for her husband. The dogs were there to protect the liquor. She kept that down there, too."
 Dogs Were Vicious
 "Those dogs were St. Bernards, big and vicious," Lurie said. "They snarled at my client and growled every time he moved"
 NO, judge, only when he moved toward the liquor" said Mrs. Thomas, who is suing for divorce on grounds of cruelty.
 "This case needs time for consid- eration," the judge said "I1l set date for another hearing.
 T can't understand St. Bernards doing that" he added. In the Alps they're supposed to run around with casks of brandy, looking for people who need drink"

street, Hollis, l.. I. was notified on several occasions to hold himself in readiness for appearance before the jury. It is believed that he left the country with consent of his company. It has also been learned that George H. Kingsley, head of the firm, and other officials, have been subpoenaed.
 Attorney Scully was one of the earliest witnesses to arrive, and he was excused almost immediately. He spent about 10 minutes before the jury.
 John Golden of New Haven, direc- tor of Public Works will be ques- toned with regard to supplies he sold to the city in 1882 under the name of the New Haven Supply Company. Reports now show that there is no such company in exist ence.
 Commissioner Goss No Surprise
 Finance Commissioner Goss was not surprise witness, for it was expected that he would be subpoe- naeQ as soon aS ne TeIurAcu HUH his Florida vacation. AS a finance commissioner whose service dates back many years, and a man who has taken active part in the cur rent proceedings, he will be an inn portant witness. He is also vice. president of the Scovill Manufact- uring Company.
 Expense checks which were issued to Miss Lord for attending conven- tions of Teachers Associations were undoubtedly the basis of question ing by the jury. As past president of the Waterbury Teachers AsSocia- ton and an officer of the national as sociation, she attended numerous conclaves in various states over period of several years. She is also past president of the National As sociation of Classroom Teachers.
 Connection with the Diamond Ginger Ale Company and with g New York Company which supplied materials to the city undoubtedly ! brought about the subpoena of Har-
