A SIMPLE CASE

into the world any better than he
was.
A SIMPLE CASE
Amelia looks after the building
and yard. He is minus his right
arm. Several years ago he caught
1t in a cotton gin and il was cut
off.
Amelia is married and has three
children. His father worked for
Mr.. Brite for years and he grew
up on the ranch too. After the
loss OF the arm Mr.. Brite gave
Amelia employment in town. JAM
tor for the office building and the
church. His children lelp him with
parts OF il he can not do alone.
This morning Amelia came by
to talk about Mr.. Brite. His stor!
Is substantially this: He very
good man. Mr.. Brite. | work for
him years. He good TO my peo-
pie. He help me in ways no BODY
else ever did. Three years ago
Mr.. Brite he come TO me and
say Amelia you by home and no
paw rent any longer. | tell HIM
no have the money. He says you
buy the home | lend you the
money and you pay me back like
rent. | find a place and buy. He

people don't know when he help
He do it secret"
BENiTO AND ADolPH
The meeting OF FDR and
Churchill was too much for Adolph
and Benito. Sort of caught them
mapping. The English and Ameri-
cans were stealing the headlines.
Swiftly a meeting OF Benito and
Adolph was arranged to take place
on the Russian-German battle
front. In order TO outdo the
enemies the two Dictators extend
ed their meeting TO week dur1-
tion. Pictures were taken oi
their inspection tours and meet
ings.
From the reports of the meeting
that have come thru II is evident
that Adolph did most OF the talk
ing and Benito did the listening.
In fact Adolph. long ago. took the
wind out OF the sails of Benito
which left him nothing to do but
listen. The glory that was once
Rome's is dead.
Another after-effect of the Roo
seveIt- Churchill meeting has beer
the change-of-face on the part o.
Japan. Japan's strut has tuned
into a desire TO want TO talk things
over with Uncle Sam. She has
decided that maybe ii might b'
best TO go easy.
All OF which proves that th'
j Japs are nobody's fools unless
they want to be.

body could be so craftily covered with

not the noses of coyotes and other wild animals
which would soon drag the body out into the
open. Also bloodhounds and other dogs could
not have missed 1t.
The only remaining death-theory is suicide
But by any method her remains would have
been as easily discovered as in the case of
accident.
Now to consider Mrs. Edith Thompsona

steadfast belief that her sister Is stin alive.
First the young bride must have had
strong motive for vanishing. This she sees
in Elias letter. threatening suicide and which
Olga read, and felt very badly about.
After all, it was one OF those marry-in-haste
matches and the effect Of Elias letter upon
Olga may have prevented the usual leisure Of
repentance.
Overwhelmed with the feeling that it was
all terrible mistake, Olga may have decided
to efface herself by disappearing.
AS evidence of this state Of mind Mrs.
Thompson offers the following quotation from
The Ancient Mariner" found scrawled in
Ogas hand on the fly leaf Of one Of her
books:
Like one that on lonesome road
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And having once turned round, walks on,
And turns no more>his heady
Because he knows a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread"
AS for the physical possibilities had Olga
picked up the bag of lunch the moment Carl
was out of sight and hurried back toward
their camp, she would have reached the
highway about halfway between and had
plenty Of time to get hitch-hike in either
direction.
She had $50 in her boot and was a skilled
stenographer, assets which combined could
well have taken her most anywhere.
But Olga with her dazzling hair was not
girl easily forgotten. Soon the papers were
full Of her pictures and description besides
the posting of $3.50 reward for information.
How can it be explained that no information
came?
If Mrs Thompson is right in thinking that
Olga was haunted by a fiendish dread that she
had made a dreadful mistake which had
tangled up two love-ves and perhaps would
cause a suicide, the sacrifice of giving up the
man she loved would be rational but she
should have sent word that she would CO.
operate in friendly divorce, making it pos
sible for Carl and Ella to marry.
To hide mysteriously was about the worst
thing possible for further torturing them.
This thought has moved some to suspect that
it was prompted by spite. But seven years of
hiding is high price to pay for spite
II Olga will only write now, as her sister
expects in spite of everything, 1t will solve a
seven-year mystery
LAS Olga had wished, Carl has finally
married Ella" Mrs. Thompson said, when she
heard of the wedding. "Olga would be the
first to wish them happiness. Out Of defer
ence to me, the court did not decree Olga
legally dead when Carl obtained his divorce.
And while l agree with relatives that
dead men can't write continue to haunt
the mail box, expecting to hear from her
someday.
80, when friends ask why / feel no re-
sentiment because Olga doesn't write II I am
sincere in thinking she is alive my answer
is this
Il am afraid should have done the same
thing under the circumstances"

the camp too late for help that night.
Rarely has an area been so thoroughly
cousfe1S as this one. Within couple of days
258 persons were on the job and soon it was
over 300. The entire population of nearby
camps and dude ranches turned out together
with volunteers from the nearest towns. AS
fast as these became exhausted others took
their places.
Governor Leslie c. Miller arranged for the
transfer Of 20 delighted c. c. c. youths from
their camp near Lander. $50 miles away.
Spurred by the thrill Of rescuing lovely lady
in distress and a bride at that, one can
imagine how they almost tore the mountains
apart.
From the Indian Agency at Fort Washable,
20 Indian crackers were sent TO apply their
special talents; and bloodhounds were loaned
by thu colorado State Penitentiary. The
result OF all this, and searches by hunters and
others in later years, produced not so much
as y shred Of a clue.
1T is rough. mountainous country, full of
CRAVINGS, gulches and gorges, where a woman
might easily fall TO her death and be hard to
find Yet it is small area, within the radius
of the few miles a tired woman could wander
and the far smaller one in which her body
could have been carried by a murderer, and
every foot Of it must have been scrutinized
more than once.
1t is time to see which explanation Of the
mystery seems most plausible.
Suppose first that Olga, becoming rested
and bored started up the peak after Carl. In
that case surely she would have followed the
only passable route, that clearly-marked game
trail, and she would have met him. Perhaps
she became piqued that he had stayed away
from her so long and thought she would give
him scare. Wandering eway to hide, she
could have gotten lost and fallen into ravine.
That much is plausible enough but, If true,
her body would have been found almost GER
tainly and soon.
If the girl was murdered a killer would,
no doubt, do his best to hide the body He
could have dug a grave but nobody carries
spade in those wilds so it must have been a
shallow one and all those sharp eyes could
hardly have failed TO nStice the freshly
disturbed earth
more likely way would have been TO

that of BRIDE" haunted Mrs. Thompson and
still haunts her.
In fact, Olga's expression was sad Mrs
Thompson tried to cheer her up by making
joke - but what she said now seems more
like tragic prediction than witticism.
Always carry two things that only cost
nickel each" she said.-"Salt and matches
II you get lost you might have to kill and
eat porcupne."
Off went the pair. to pitch their tent on the
Floyd Stalnacker camp. 40 miles west Of Du-
bois, near the foot of Two-Gwo-Tee pass
over the Great Divide and on the sixth day
after the wedding the bride vanished into
thin air
Nothing seems TO have gone before, except
thatzCarl said that Elias letter cast a
shadow on things. ~
Though Carl was kept in Jail two moths
after Olga vanished, and questioned inter-
n,inably, his story was never shaken Except
that after first saying he had been away only
about 20 minutes, he later admitted that It
might have been much longer For q man
under such nerve-wracking circumstances, it
was an unusually straightforward account.
Mauger's statement Is that they had hiked
considerable distance into the wilds that day
when he decided to follow game trail to the
top of little peak from which he could view
the lake region beyond.
But Olga was tired and wanted to rest until
he came down. He left her sitting on a rock
and promised not to be gone more than 20
minutes. That last picture of her as he
plunged into the brush, remains forever in his
memory.
Olga wore tan breeches, lace boots, blue
sAtxf4hd green and grey pull-over tam. A
ISLE fchet was stuck in her belt and on
Her tes rested a paper bag containing
sandwiches.
Carl climbed the peak. enjoyed his view and
resumed probably much later than he had
promised. She was gone and not vestige Of

And why hire an outsider to audit town books anyway, if the check up has to backtrack and mail out supplementary dope after the first reports are in?
 The children attending Purchase Hill school broke out in a rash and swelled around the eyes like so many overstuffed chipmunks. The school nurse made her inspec- tion cruise and immediately had an idea that smallpox, scarlet fever, or German measles had the mOppets down for a nine count. Housewives broke out the sulphur and molasses and McCarthy's store did a heavy business in Epson salts. The kids weren't exactly sick but they didn't feel any too spry. The more nervous folks wondered if rabbit fever hadn't broken out on the hilltop but an investigation and a little good fashioned research in doctors books made people feel better.
 It wasn't the drinking water, or poorly-coo pork. It wasn't buckwheat cakes. It wasn't even too much Christmas candy. The investigators and the health au- thorities proved that.
 The trouble with those kids was sumach poisoning, sustained from the school heating plant where sumach was burned instead of good honest hardwood. First Se- Iectman J. Edward COer has the wood contract for our public schools this year.
 Only few weeks ago, while we were looking around to see how Connecticut's many natural re- sources could be used to good ad- vantage, we found that sumach was just so much brush without @ market value since the tanner les shut down. Folks quit cutting sumach about the time we stopped tanning hides. Now there's Q new chance to cash-in; just sell su- mach to country schools.

Eleven Amendments
 In Compensation Act
Labor Commissioner Suggests Changes in Present
 Unemployment Benefit Legislation; Simplif1es It

Eleven amendments to the unem- ployment compensation act are rec commended in the biennial report of the State Labor Department to the governor, Commissioner Cornell us J. Danaher announced today. The amendments are recommended in the biennial report of the State Labor Department to the governor, Commissioner Cornelius J. Danaher announced today. The amend ments are recommended in order to simplify administration, the com- missioner said.
 The subjects of the amendments recommended include the following:
 Contributions to be based on wages paid; the federal act was changed in 1889 so that federal pay roll taxes are calculated upon wages actually paid by the employer in- stead of on wages payable. The measure will bring the state law into harmony with the federal act Survivors
 Receivers of survivors benefits disqualified; this bill would dis qualify dependents who receive benefits as survivors under the fed eral law.
 Coverage to conform with the fed- eral act; it is proposed to include under the act all employers who i have eight or more employees in the United States although they might have less than five employees in Connecticut.
 Voluntary acceptance by employer to continue for at least one year; I at present many employers accept the law voluntarily for short time and then secure a release.
 Wage credits of workers in mili- tary service; 1t is proposed that
