Lynn Says:

A birthday party's real party
with birthday games to play. Let
the children play their favorite
ones, and if they run out of ideas,
try some of these:
Take the words, Greeting and
Birthday, and give each of the
guests paper and pencil. Ask
players to fill in as many words
as possible between each of the
two letters. First words begin
with B and end with G. Second
words begin with R and end with
l. Third words begin with r.
and end with E, and so forth.
Allow 10 to IS minutes for the
game, and give prizes to those
with longest lists.
Have children sit in a circle 20
play this game called Birthday
Gifts. First player starts with
letter A, and makes a sentence
giving the name of the place he
is going and the gift he is bring
ing. For example, he might say,
Il am going to Appleton to get
him an Anchovy, or to Bermuda
to get him Bon Bon," and so
forth down the alphabet. No
words should be repeated.
Guests can also make a scrap
book together, cutting out maya
zines and papers to make an au-
photography for the guest of hon
or. Include place of birth, pic
lures CT mother and dad, school,
vacation trips, etc.

Fighting Names
For War Planes
British Were the First to
Adopt Titles; U. S. Navy
Goes Dramatic.

WASHINGTON, D. c. - Modern
wars technique of terror" extend
ed to the naming of many fighting
and death-spilling aircraft, has Civ
en- new significance to the old ques-
ton, Whats in a name?"
Such titles as Airacobra and
Typhoon hint at the destructive
possibilities of the warbirds OF
Britain" says a bulletin from the
National Geographic society.
THE British were the first to
adopt the practice of using symbol
&c names on a large scale, giving
headline writer's the benefit of such
fighting words as Spitires, Hurri-
canes, Havocs, Gladiators, Furies,
Whirlwinds and Defants There is
the British Buffalo, named for the
water buffalo of the Orient, a bat
tier highly respected in the animal
world, but tractable when tanned.
One individual bombing plane-a
gift to the Raj. from a Scottish
mother who had lost two sons in
active service-is known as Mac
Roberts Reply.

The United States also has en-
tered the naming field. with aircraft
ranging from Mars (the world S
largest flying boat) to Vengeance Ga

lean high-altitude superfghter. now
reported to be manufactured in
large quantities for the United

may grow to symbol as long as
< S B 2 CHS going in for equally
dramatic designations. For its fight
er ships the names include Wildcat
and Corsair. For torpedo bombers
the Devastator and Avenger set the
tone. Dive bombers are the Buc-
cancer, the Dauntless and the Vim
dictator. The popularity termed He'll
diver has become official.
Both the United States and Brit
ish versions of certain warplanes
may use the same name, as in the
case Of the Buffalo. On the other
hand the British Mustang and the
American Apache are different
titles for the same fighter. A still
more complicated variation in NAM
ing sequence concerns the Toma-
hawk and the Kittihawk. These
planes were originally lettered and
numbered models of American
manufacture. The British gave
them their present titles as a touch
of Americanism, the Kittihawk hon.
oring Kitty Hawk, N. c., where the
Wright brothers made their first
flight by power-driven machine in
1903.
NaZiS Have a Jaguar.
Other countries so far have paiG
less attention to warlike names for
their air battlers. Germanys Jun.

bomDer-fighter is known as the Mes

japanese planes sometimes bean
titles that contrast oddly with their
present war uses. For example. one

monoplane is known as the Pigeon
Another monoplane, much in use by
the japanese army air corps. is
the Wild Goose; one Of these planes
made a spectacular flight from

kidnapping Cases
Prompt Three to
Take Their Lives
Follows Well : Esta blishe d
Pattern of Crime and
Its Consequences.

NEW YORK-When Abe Relies,
chief prosecution witness against
New York's deadly Murder, Inc,
plunged to his death from Coney
Island hotel window recently, he fol
lowed well-established pattern OF
crime and consequences.
1t is the experience of prosecuting
officials throughout the United States
that nearly every major criminal in
vestigation and trial results in trag
edy for some witness, or other incl
dental figure.
Often these victims of crimes far
spreading ripples are wholly inno-
cent of any wrongdoing themselves.
Women victims or witnesses in
three of America S most famous kid
mapping cases have inexplicably COM
mitted suicide.
Why do perfectly innocent by
ISLANDERS in so many famous crimi-
nal cases take their own lives?
Psychiatrists attribute it largely
to the nerve-shattering effect of a
prolonged trial upon all participants.
Strange McElrOy Case.
Vicarious sufferings of this type
which the psychiatrists call 'substi-
tuition of personality was almost
certainly responsible for the strange
and pathetic sequel to the kidnapping
of attractive Mary McElroy, 25-
year-old daughter of Henry F. Nc
Elroy, former city manager of Kan
sas City, Mo.
Mary was driven to an isolated
cottage in Merriam, Kan, and
chained to a wall in filthy cellar.
Twenty-Five hours later, on pay
ment of $4,000 by her father, the
girl was freed.
Expected to show bitterness
against her kidnapers, she defended
them. Obviously, her father said,
the experience had disturbed the vic.
TINS mind, although in body she
was uninjured.
Despite Mary's pleas, Walter Nc
Gee was sentenced to die. His BROTH
er, George, was sentenced to life
Imprisonment. Clarence Click, an
accomplice, got eight years.
For six years Mary worked to
have the MCGEE brothers sentences
softened or a double pardon issued.
She corresponded with them as often
as prison rules permitted.
Mary's father died two years ago,
the day before the grand jury was
to examine him concerning income
tax payments.
Three months later, in January,
1910, Mary killed herself with pis-
tol in the bathroom whence she had
been kidnapped.
Father Kills Self.
A father followed his daughter in
death after the Carroll-Matthiesen
killing, three years ago. Donald Car
roll Jr., l6, shot his sweetheart,
Charlotte Matthiesen, l8, because
she was about to become moth
er. Fred Matthieson, war veteran
father of the girl, forgave the youth,
then murmured:
This may be the end Of me, too.
/ have only the heavlnesS OF life
left"
He defended Donald at the trial
and so did the slain girls mother.
The boy was acquitted on the ground
that he had been insane when he
fired the shot. Eight days after &C
quittal, he was discharged as sane.
Anxious to avoid further notori-
ETY.. Charlotte's parents moved &c
Creskill, n j., where. a year later,
the forgiving father ended his life
by inhaiing the exhaust from his
automobile.
