DEATH stood grinning through
- the windows Of n modest
home In Pueblo. Colo. on the
night Of Saturday. Aug. is. 1895
He dismounted from his
black steed, heard Mr.. and Mrs.
Riley A. Drain leave the house,
watched the disappearing light
Of their car AZ they left the
lonely. unlighted block in which
their home was located The
dread horseman peered through
the windows and saw his unsus-
pecting victim and her younger
sister prepare for bed And
then Death. personified In the
form Of two human tends,
struck!
Mr.. and Mrs. Drain attended a
dance that night, leaving their
two daughters by the mans
previous marriage-pretty 10

When the parents returned at

ton sent a nervous shiver Of
apprehension through the father

window from the porch and dis
covered that a floor lamp in the
living room was out.
"Dcrotky! Barbara- he called.
and ran into the girls bedroom
at the rear OF the house.

blanched at the horrible sight
that met his eyes.
There on q crimson-spattered
bed lay the partially nude bodies
OF his two daughters.

that the prevailing sentiment
among the civilized nations Of
the world IL still overwhelm-

fairly rapidly growing Popula-
lions.
"The Vicar Of Wakefield was
expressing the prevailing senti-
ment Of tho early twentieth Gen.
fury almost ~ accurately ~
that OF the carly nineteenth
when he said:
"T was ever Of opinion that
the honest man who married
and brought up . large family

but six, I considered them q

IAnd the alarmed citizen q
today who writes m emotional

Vicar that his notions about
population increases are merely
the reflection OF IDEAS that have
been instilled into the minds Of
the common man for centuries
by those individual and classes
who had something 10 gain from
the unrestricted procreation Of
the masses"

PITTSBURGH-UP - Wrecking

story Westinghouse Building here
will virtually have to rae the
whole building before they can re.

has historic significance.
The desk, of solid oak. stands In
the long. second floor room that
formerly served as the once Of
George Westinghouse, inventor.
So large is the elongated desk.
which looks like an diversified bill.
Hard table, that no door or stair.
way in the once building will per.

For 81 years, It has remained in
the same spot in the building,
which Is being razed to make room
for a parking lot. The building is
the tallest ever to be wrecked in
Pittsburgh.
I'VE don't know what to do with
the desk" one OF the engineers
said. Nobody knows how II ever
got into the building, but Mr..
Westinghouse must have had II
built right inside his once because
II seems to be all In one piece"
1t was over this desk that West.
inghouse conducted much OF the
business Of hts firms with such fs-
ures as Andrew Mellon, H. ].
Heinz, and others OF his business
contemporaries. He sat at the cen.
ter OF the desk, his old employees
relate, IN a big padded chair that
was a bit higher than any OF the
other chairs in the room.
