Hills principal, said the social arts
unit will permit expansion of the
junior high curriculum to provide
a richer" program. The school
enrolment, now 1888, is expected to
double before long, Mr.. Sivigny said.
The new building combines at
tractiveness with utility and easy
maintenance. Its plastered interior
walls are painted in the soft shades
which reduce eye strain. Rooms are
lighted indirectly by flourescent
lamps. High tile wainscoting lines
the corridors, making for more
lasting cleanliness.
Pine panelling adds to the beauty
of the library, which occupies a cor
ner on the first floor of the unit.
Connecting with the library is a
paneled reading alcove complete
with open fireplace. The head libra
rians' Office adjoins on another side.
Patrons and pupils will find much
to interest them in the laboratories.

rated and maintained by the stu
dents. Both electric and gas stoves
have been installed in the home
economies department.

dress system serving every room in
the new unit and the building now
occupied.

Yes, and it always has. So does

Others study the causes of poverty

To reduce and prevent such ills
Is not only humane, but financially

Case Nearly Complete
After GoIIum Denial
OF 0yereII Murders
By the Asseeioted Press

SANTA ANA, Calf, Sept. 49,
The case of the State of California
against Louise Overell and George
Gollum, who have both denied from
the witness stand that they mur-
dered her parents, was just about
completed today.
! Except for the testimony of a few
minor witnesses, all the evidence
was before the jury of six men and
six women. Defense lawyers, who
plan to rest their case tomorrow,
said they had four witnesses to call
in behalf of the 21-year-old Col
lum and one for Miss Overeu, 18-
year-old heiress to the half million
dollar estate of Mr.. and Mrs. Wal
ter E. Overell.
Otto Jacobs, chief counsel for
Miss Overell, said his last witness
would give testimony "of great sig
nificance. to the defense case" but
declined to elaborate.
Gollum Denies Crime.
Gollum completed his testimony
yesterday, adding his definite de-
nial to that of Miss Overell that
they did not kill her parents and
did not know who did.
did you, acting alone or with
any one else, kill Mr.. and Mrs. Wal
ter E. Overell?" Gollum's attorney,
William Beirne, asked.
NO" replied Gollum.
did you take any part in bring
ing about their deaths?"
II did not"
Prosecutor Eugene Williams, on
cross ss-examination, asked Gollum if
he had healthy normal appetite"
and was given an Affirmative an
swer.
isn't 1t a fact, Mr.. Gollum, that
the reason you could not eat a ham,
burger the night of March Is was
because you had Just killed Mr..
and Mrs. Overell?' Mr.. Williams
queried.
Didn't Like 1t, He Says.
THAT is not the case, sir" replied
the bespectacled Gollum. "The rea-
son I ate only half of the ham
burger was because I didn't par
ticularly care for the quality of it."

had testified that they were eating
