 HANGING
 DELAYED
Circuit Court of Appeals Requests Copy of Mur-
 der Trial Transcript

The previously scheduled execu- tion of Eugene LaMoore alias Aus tin Rollan has been delayed again by action of the Ninth District U. s. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. The high court has not yet acted on a government motion to dismiss LaMoore's appeal of his conviction for the first degree mur- der of Jim Ellen on Dec. 22, 1946
 Yesterday, J. w. Leivers. Clerk of the U. s. District Court in Ju- neau, received a request from the Clerk of the Grand Circuit Court for complete transcript of La Moore's trial.
 The transcript will be prepared and forwarded to San Francisco as soon as possible in order to assist the high court in reaching an early decision on the motion entered by Ly U. s. District Attorney P. J. Gilmore, Jr. at the expiration of the time limit for the completion of the appeal. The motion received the consent of defense attorneys Henry Roden and Joseph A. Mclean but the Circuit Court apparently wants to make up it's own mind.
 LaMoore's accomplice, Austin Nelson, was hanged here on March l for his part in the crime. LaMoore had originally been scheduled to go to the gallows on April 30.

PODIATRISTS, who are special
lists in foot care, are continually
telling their patients what should
be done to keep the feminine trot-
ters comfortable. But do the girls
pay heed? They do not. That wom-
en- neglect the care of their feet,
even abuse them, is evident by the
way many of the ladies walk. Many
locomote painfully. They clump
along, or they shuttle. With these
movements their bodies are thrown
out of balance; in time the fine lines
of the silhouette suffer. Sore feet
are also responsible for mental de-
preston. When feet hurt, you hurt
all over.
These specialists advise you to
wear heels of medium height, shoes
snug at the heels, fitted long at the
toes when shopping, walking or CO.
ing about household chores. Uppers
should be Of soft leather, roomy
across the forepart, soles of flexible
leather to give firm support and the

i greed wool fashions at this
time of the year is a great ad-
vantage, and one which design
ers doubtless love as much as
we do, after the make-do war
years. We show you three wool
outfits ready for Autumn ward
robes, but calculated to carry
on until the bluebirds fly again.
The double-breasted suit is a
honey, an American classic
which needs only a switch in
accessories to make it very
towny and mink-stolish, or bu-
collie in a knowing, station wag-
on manner.
Colors are many this season,
and peachy, too. The offerings

and price range, the hats just

Furniture
Upholstery
By ELEANOR ROSS

THE CLINT Of metal brings 4
fresh look and a fine richness to the
new furniture upholstery scheme
of things. A recent showing Of fur
niture and fashions found visitors
just as interested, indeed, perhaps
more so, in the furniture than in
the beautiful fashions.
Upholstered chairs and settees
from various manufacturers, in de-
signs that ranged from period re-
productions to contemporary pieces,
showed an interesting use Of metal
glinted fabrics. An armless chair
had as upholstery a handsome
green and white textured fabric
with fine stripe formed by gold
thread. An open armchair in green
and beige showed off bold gold
stripe, and very handsome too!
sage Green
Another piece was one in a most
interesting fabric in sage green
with a distinct ridge formed by a
loop pile weave. Gold thread ap-
pears in the fat spaces between the
ridges, making for a novel effect.
One of the most attractive ex-
hibits was a pair Of little slipper
chairs of a very new design. These
were fully upholstered armchairs
with the line and proportions Of
modern easy chair, yet they were
small and dainty. The chairs were
covered in a hand woven tweed in
gray, green and blue with gold
thread overtones. Another piece was
upholstered in a fabric in which
narrow gold stripes alternated with
stripes of coral chenille.
Made by the Blind
A woven pattern suggesting
plaid in deep pink, green and gold
aroused interest as it was one Of
collection hand woven by blind
workers.
In keeping with the furniture
there were some handsome fabrics
used for other decorating purposes.
A fine white easement cloth deli
cately highlighted with gold thread,
suggested all sorts Of uses. A hand
some rug composed of copper metal
threads blending into a rich cocoa
brown fiber would look at home any,
where. Just about the most attrac-
tive and original screen seen in a
long time, is floor screen made OF
half-round wood dowels alternat-
ing with reed-like sticks, and woven
together with rich chenille yarns
and silver thread.

that if your father didn't need you

Learning To Read
1t Should Be Fun for the Child

enthusiastically about it as if it were
something wholly new, and she
pointed out the self-reliancc this
method developed in the child.
Purchase a Book
If your young child is not allowed
to bring his reading book home you
might wisely purchase through your
local book store copy of this book.
Then you should not require him
to read to you but let him do so,
and to others of the family. How
wonderful if there is another child,
two, three or five to whom he may
read for fun!
If teachers only sensed this pos
sibility they would urge every child
in the lower grades to read for fun
to a younger child at home or in
the neighborhood. l can think of no
better way to motivate reading in
the primary grades. This young
reader may also like to read to a
younger child from other easy books
and one of the children's magazines.
A few of these magazines carry
easy stories and features with many
interpretative pictures. One even
presents pictured words which en-
able the young child to teach HIM
self a simple reading vocabulary.
Answering Parents Questions
@. My son six years old stays
awake till $50 or 1000 when have
a baby sitter, talking to him.
A. Instruct the baby sitter in the
presence of the child not to answer
him beyond certain time, say fif-
teen minutes after he retires.
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-10-14
By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS. Ph.D.

THE child who has learned at
school to read a bit may feel that
he has achieved wondrously, and he
really has. He is very eager to prove
to the folks at home that he can
read; to his mother, father, grand
parents, and most of all to his baby
brother or sister, if he has one.
Even though he has learned to
read but few pages from his
primer he wants to take this book
home and read there from it. But
alas, his teacher may not allow him
to take this book home. There even
may be a ruling by the Board of
Education forbidding children to
carry their school books home. In
some cases this forbidding is to
protect this public property. In
many other cases the teacher does
not let the young child take his
book home for fear he might learn
to read at home in wrong ways.
How absurd when no one has found
any single way of teaching to be the
best way for all children! Indeed,
various scientific studies aided and
abetted by common sense reveal
that variety of appeals and ap-
proaches in the early stages of
reading are desirable.
Tends to Memorize
Granted that the youngster be-
ginning to read at school tends to
memorize what is on a page, associ-
ating it with this page and its pic
lures instead of translating the
words, phrases and sentences into
meanings. This the alert teacher
can readily discover in a few min
utes. Then she can help the child
match the words and phrases in the
book with what he says from mere
rote memory. Some keen persons
have taught themselves one or more
foreign languages in this way, and
words on the page are foreign
language to q child until he can
read them.
twenty-five or thirty years ago
very widely-used method of teach
ing reading was based on having
the child learn by rote certain
rhymes and picturesque sentences,
which were read aloud to him over
and over, and then having him
match words, phrases and sentences
with these key statements he had
learned by heart. Indeed, a few
years ago l saw this very same
method being used widely in a large
city. The person directing it told me
