CAKES MURDER
STILL MYSTERY

NASSAU, Bahamas, Nov. 10.-tR
"A year has passed since Alfred
de Marigny was acquitted of the
Staying of the millionaire Sir Har-
ry Cakes, yet the most intriguing
murder mystery of the decade re-
mains unsolved.
It was on Nov. II, 1913, that
Bahamas Supreme court jury
voted, 8 to 8, to free the debonair
de Marigny, Sir Harry's son-in-law,
after a trial which had all the
elements of a first class drama.
Since then there have been no
arrests, and police have given no
indication that they have picked
up the trail, long since grown cold,
of the killer who bludgeoned and
burned the aged Sir Harry to death
the night Of July 7, 1913, while a
fierce thunderstorm battered h e
baronet's seaside villa, West
bourne.
However, the Duke of Windsor,
former King of England and now
Governor of the Bahamas, insisted
in a recent interview that "'the
case is still open, and will be until
police catch the man who did it. -
There's no thought of giving
up" the Duke emphasized, land
they hope some day to catch the
man."

Keeping Up With The Joneses

should have known that con-
venient excuse 'I'm making II
hst for the duration" couldn5t 60
On forever.
But not until I read the predlc-
ton ''You will probably be permit
ed to build a house in l945 and buy
car in 1916" did actually realize
lust what we women are in for.
We've got to start keeping up
with the Joneses again. There's
not much time left for dismising
the old sofa with 'Tm going to
make it do until there's better
selection of furniture in the stores"
The day will even come when we
can't make Ourselves feel happy
in a tnree-year-old suit by think
ing we're being patriotic in wear
ing it out and making it do.
NEW CAR IS A MUST
And even though the old car
runs all right and has stood by us
ike a faithful friend We'll think
we have to have new one when
Mrs. Jones starts buzzing by in a
cleaning new model.
So the old vicious circle of keep
ing up with the Joneses will start
again-and Well have no convinc-
ing alibi for not getting in the silly
race.
But it's been easy and comfort
able while it lasted-hasn't it
being able to do without things?
If it just weren't for Mrs. Jones
we could go. along comfortably
for years, wearing thing out and
making them do and talking all
the while about the things we are
going to buy in the distant future.
But you know Mrs. Jones. She
will have the first Of everything
released-and you and I won't
be happy unit! we get something
Just as good, or a little better.

employment the voters surely will
demand that something be done.
This something will be quack
remedies contrary to the spirit of
free enterprise.
Certainly, much will be done for
the returning soldiers, sailors and
airmen. Some of this aid will be
uneconomic and wasteful; but
Washington will be driven to it..
Such action will help along the
inevitable initiation and some day
cause us a lot Of trouble until
around 1850.
Conclusions
In short, conditions make Presi-
dents; rather than do Presidents
make conditions. The masses e
the entire world are on the march.
Neither Roosevelt nor Dewey nor
an undecided election can stop
them. 1t is mistake to try to
block them as did Avery of Mont
gomery-Ward; it is a mistake to
cheer them as have many politi-
clans during the past two months.
The wise man will attend to his
own business, keep out of debt,
educate his children to be useful
and wait for these masses to learn
their lesson through experience.
AS to- the effect of the elections
on the markets, 1 expect no more
changes than have already occurr-
ed. I am bearish on municipals
and other high grade bonds; but
am still bullish on most well-select.
ed stocks. do, however, not like
the rails, aircrafts or shipping
stocks for the next four years.

oUARRELED FIRST

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Nov.
1o-RHA heated quarrel between
Edward Jewett Martin, 24-year-old
North Carolina chemist, and his
wealthy grandmother, Mrs. Addie
M. Jewett, Boonville. Mo. over
Martins alleged drinking preceded
the Staying of Mrs. Jewett on a
country road, last spring, according
to an affidavit filed here by Cooper
county Prosecutor Thomas G..
Woolsey.
In the affidavit, part of Woolsey's
petition to Gov. Forrest c. Donnetl
to extradition papers which were
signed Wednesday, Woolsey declar
ed that Martin had signed a state
ment admitting the Staying.
Woolsey's affidavit said that:
ION the late evening of May 9
or early morning of May 10, Nal
tin and his grandmother WIRE
driving in Cooper county in Mrs.
Jewett's Packard sedan automo-
bile; they became involved in i
controversy over Martin drinking
and Mrs. Jewett, according to Mar
tins signed confession, upbraideo
him rather heatedly
while they were sitting in the
front seat of the automobile Mar
tin pushed, showed or knocked his
grandmother against the front dool
of the automobile. Woolsey said.
The door fastener gave and Mrs.
JeWett tumbled out of the car to the
ground"
Then, he said, Young Martin
backed the car over his grandnoth-
err"
HE loaded her into the front
seat with him and undertook to
remove her to st. Joseph's hospi-
tai in Boonville but she died al
most instantly" Woolsy said. He
then placed her body in the trunk
of the automobile and started the
long journey to Charlotte, N. c., to
deliver the body over to his mother.
1.-THE weather was quite warm
and the body decomposed SO fast
and an offensive odo1 emanated
from the trunk SO noticeably."
Woolsey continued, Martin states
he was unable to bring himself to
telling his mother"

BY ROGER w. BABSON

BABSON PARK, Mass, Nov. 10
notwithstanding the results of
Tuesday, 1 now make some predic-
tons as to what will happen at
Washington during the next four
years. These forecasts assume the
Republicans and Conservative
Democrats will combine to control
Congress.
Taxes will materially be reduced.
A reduction in Excess Profits Taxes
will come shortly after the colaspe
of Germany. Most nuisance" tax
es will be eliminated. Corporation
taxes will later be put back near
ly to pre-War figures. Personal in
come taxes should be reduced; but
these will be the last to be lowered.
There will be no attempt to bal
ance the budget. This is something
to aim for, but it will be done slow
ly. Too radical cuts could cause
deflation which at this time, would
be worse than initiation. The Unit
ed States will, however, diligently
work for a better financial setup
for which we all should be thank
full.
Coming Foreign Policies
Great Britain, Russia and the
United States will combine and hold
the peace so long as they remain
friends. China may or may not be
admitted to the inner counsels.)
How long these three great nations
will remain friends, is anybody S
guess. Other nations will be adj
mitted to some sort of World Or
ganization; but they will not have
much to say.
Congress will pass legislation so
that our navy and air force can
actin emergencies without the
formal declaration of war. But this
is a feeble step toward permanent
peace. This can be secured only as
all nations are willing to give up
certain rights as to tariffs, immi-
grafton restrictions, natural re-
source monopolies, etc. I see no
sign that the incoming Administra-
ton at Washington will do this.
Aid To Farmers
Both farmers and union labor
have had their honeymoons. Both
will get less consideration during
the next four years. We may, there
fore, expect lower farm prices and
only a few-if any wage raises.
Certainly the total income of both
groups will be much less.
The hourly rate for wages may
not be cut; but overtime" will be
out the window. We will 20 back
to the forty-hour week. I strongly
advise both farmers and wage
workers to begin Immediately to
save up money for a rainy day..
1t surely is coming. Moreover, this
would still be true if the election
mad gone the other way.
Free Enterprise to be Tested
Both candidates at heart believ-
ed IN free enterprise so long as
IT Will keep people employed. When,
however, it does not xrevent I'm.

But then she realized that she
