i/F) — Ransom has been demanded
for the Lindbergh
baby, kidnaped from its nnriry
last night, and Col.
Sharles A. Lindbergh is willig
to pay il he can get the
iniant saiely back to its
mother's arms.
It was learned this afternoon
that a note found pinned
to the sill of the window
through which the baby was
taken from its sickbed by the
kidnapers made a definite
ransom demand.
HARM THREATENED I
It also threatened harm to
the child if the money was
not paid, if the contents of
the note were divulged, or if
the method of payment sugg'ested
in the note was re-
Tealed.
So threatening was the
note that for hours its very
existence was denied by police
investigating the crime.
It was finally determined with
absolote deflnlteness, however, tlu^
the ransom demand ' had been
made and that Colonel ^indberfh
had decided to meet any. demand
tf by so doing: he would get his
baby baek.
No one wonid say how large the
was but a report that It
$50,000 went nndenied by
close to the Lindbergh family
and to the widespread search.
Mother Inconsolable
It was impossible to gain any information
as to what instructions
may have been contained in the
ransom note or to find out Just
what steps Colonel Lindbergh was
taking to follow those instructions.
Mrs. Lindbergh, who is reported
to be expecting another baby in the
spring, was inconsolable today and
aside from the grief at having the
baby kidnaped she was made additionally
anxious because of its 111-

These facts, confirmaton of

of the new confidence
Inspired by the federal reconstruction

quoting W. J. Smith of Battle Creek
who is a member of the

-This is a splendid example to

Almost 25 percent of

and the revival of confldcnce
have made It possible for the banks
to strengthen their position without

The Detroit statement further
quotes Mr. Smith as pointing out
that it took but

of the new confidence to the
extent that they no longer need the

% CRIME'S ULTIMATE CHALLENGE
The kidnaping of the Lindbergh
baby has shocked the nation.
The place which the Lindberghs
hold in public affection, the memorable
achievements of Colonel Lindbergh
and the prominence of all
concerned are circumstances which
atlr the widest Indignation over the
crime.
The nation sympathises feelingly
with the frantic young couple. Parents
understand most keenly tha
hideous fears which are in the
hearts of this young mother and
father.
The prayer Is made that the infant
will not be harmed.
The seething determination Is
felt that the kidnapers be caught
and made to pay for their cowardly.
contemptible crime.
Every citizen, in his sympathy for
the Lindberghs and his Indignation
at the crime, might well consider
how this crime was possible.
He
might compare the anger he experiences
now at the thought of this
helpless Infant being taken from
the crib to be held as hostage, to
the Indifference he has shown toward
law violation in the past.
Every citizen might ask himself
now. while thinking of the Lindberghs'
anguish and horror, whether
law is important, whether lawlessness
is anything to worry about,
whether it matters if law falls Into
disrespect.
Kidnaping is one of the most
hideous of crimes. It strikes at the
most vulnerable spot and preys on
the finest of sentiment.
It is only because the public—
the respectable and law-abiding
citizens—has remained indifferent
to the spread of crime that kidnaping
has come to be practiced on
a wholesale scale and has reached
into the very crib of
a sleeping
babe.
The present example, the horror
of which reaches to every home and
tvery heart, may perhaps contain
Something of its own care for criminality.
It may be the means of
spurring on the battle against
crime and for. the elimination of
criminals.
The civilized world, seeing this
challenge, may strengthen its civilization
because of the challenge.
At any rate, there are today two
engrossing thoughts in the minds of
all those who can be counted as
civilized.
One is that the baby may be unharmed
and the anguish of a home
quickly eased.
The other is that the perpetrators
of
the deed may pay the fullest
penalty with a promptness and
completeness which will express the
aroused feelings of tlje law-abiding
world, in this plain declaration of
war of crime, against society.
glorlftodj
the gangster.
, The peroentagea are ecaretiy
adequate because they make no dlstinction
between the different kinds
of films produced. Some of the
films
are released to the cheaper
movie houses.
Some are without
the drawing attraction of star actors
and actresses.
These no doubt were Included In
the total from which the percentages
were figured.
The movie industry cannot deny
that an unusual number of gangster
pictures with a great amount
of ballyhoo and with many of the
outstanding players in the leading
roles were shown last year.
The movie industry cannot deny
either that Its products exercise a
tremendous Influence on the public
mind.
Senator Brook harts attack on
the industry does not carry much
weight.
His reputation for going
Into tantrums for political purposes
precedes and discounts whatever
he says and does.
Nevertheless there is solid ground
for criticism of the industry for
failure to exercise its vast influence
as wisely as it could and for failure
to take full advantage of an opportunity
to be one of the most
constructive forces for inspiration
as well as entertainment of the age.
Though Senator Brookhart's tirade
may be political, the movie industry
will be wise to regard it is
a warning of what may follow if
the industry Itself doesn't make better
use of its influence.
And even
many who might criticize the movie
industry now would agree that government
regulation of the movies
would be undesirable.
THE COST OF FEAR
Indications are that a large percentage
of the money which the
government has made available to
business. Industry and banking
through the various federal reconstruction
measures will never be
used.
The mere appropriation of the
money and the adoption of the legislation
which assures financial
becking are doing what the money
would do if put Into actual use.
Hoarded money Is coming back
Into circulation at a rapid rate.
The fear which has caused the
hoarding and which has exercised
a paralytic influence on business is
subsiding. Sanity and normality are
returning.
This effect, noticeable before the
legislation was finally approved and
signed, and before the machinery
of organization waa completed. Is
confirmation of the large part psychology
has been playing in the depression.
Since the result of the reconstruction
Is noticeable before it Is
put
into operation, the cause of
many of the current problems obviously
has been mental. Fear Is
mental, of course, and fear waa the
cause of the withdrawal of money
from circulation.
The mere knowledge
that financial backing and
credit expansion are available la
sufficient.
. As this becomes Increasingly
plain, so does the power-of minij
of matter in its many phases *nd
especially in its influence in national
destiny and individual hanpiness.
Confirmation that a cause of our
troubles has been what
President
Hoover called "frozen confidence" is
also emphasis of the folly of fear
and the common sense of courage
and faith, often stressed only as
qualities of patriotism.
EULOGY TO A GREAT BOOK
A pertinent question has been
raised;
What has become of the
almanacs?
Many who have been going
around with the feeling that something
was missing may find the explanation
in the absence of the
usual number of these miraculous
books.
The weather, of course, has tempered
the loss, considerably.
The
almanac was In its greatest glory
during the shut-in months when
the wind and snow were swirling
outside and when it seemed most
appropriate to remain Indoors beside
the cheerful hearth, "
Many old-timers could pen eulogies
about the almanac and Its
vital place In the household.
The
almanac as the salvation of many
long winter evenings.
Its unending
variety was one of
its chief
charms. There was something there
of interest for everyone in the
family.
Jokes for the youngsters,
history, sage counsel, remedies and
a vast store of other Information
for the elders.
And It was usually
about this time, when winter began
to pall and the mind was reaching
around for an escape, that grandmother
used to bring out the almanac
from Its hiding place (which
everyone knew) behind the clock to
fortify her reserve of wise advice
from Poor Richard.
The new generation of course
knows little of the almanac.
It has
grown up with the radio, the telephone
and other inventions which
have overcome the problem of
travel and communication that
buried the oldtimers during their
winters.
But the ahnanac was a great
book. Its service to many thousands
was notable.
If it has gone there
should be some fitting ceremony
paid to Its memory.
Today's suggestion:
Oive the March lion'
credit for at least
making a gesture.
Sure the Japs want peace—Just
as soon as they lick the Chinese.
Heard the suggestion that the
way to get prosperity back in a
hurry would be to pass a law
forbidding it.
Yes sir. Charley Thoma certainly
spilled the beans. Tsk. Tsk. And
what a bawling out he probably received
from his wife for doing it.
Charley went out shopping for the
famllv groceries.
On his way home
he stopped .at the Enquirer and
News offices.
While explaining his
business he juggled one of the packages
on his arm. It fell. You might
almost say it exploded.
And hundreds
of little kidney beans went
scurrying hither and thither along
the polished floor, under the radiator.
around the door. They were retrieved
finally with the aid of a floor
mop and- an improvised dust pan.
Charley took them home in a sack
separate from the other beans, the
ones that hadn't been spilled.
"My
wife will probably throw them
away." he said.

When the Eyee Deceive—A piece
of lead ore, no larger than eight
Inches square. Is a deceiving piece
of decoration on the desk of the
Wheelock Prestler Rfg. & Const.
Co, West State. The rock looks as
though it would be a simple matter
to pick It up, but though small In
dimensions it weighs 46H pounds.
It contains largely pure lead ore
and some alloy of copper, silver and
other metals. Raymond Wheelock,
who has interests in some of the
mines in Arizona, brought it back
from the mines near Kingman
Ariz, Lead ore when purified and
mixed with vinegar becomes white
lead, the foundation of most paints.
Zinc, another important factor of
paint, is secured from the mines of
the eastern part of the country.
Linseed oil, which must be had if
one has paint, is from the flax
seed which is raised In the Argentine,
Old Mexico, Canada and a Utile
in the United States.
Trunk Lines and Main Streets—
Battle Creek opinion may agree or
disagree with this editorial from
the Grand Rapids Herald, but the
comment is at least interesting in
connection with the talk there has
been in Battle Creek about where
a trunk line should go: "Editor
•Tom' Johnson of tho Rockford
Register reports that Rockford is
no longer concerned with any effort
to divert trunk-line traffic through
its retail business section.' In fact
the village councU Is now debating
only the Issue of which route along
the more direct line and outside of
the retail zone wiU be adopted. That
sounds like Rockford. Its Insistence
in the past for routing the trunk
line through the downtown section
and paving the main street iaws
merely In keeping with a common
theory of a few years ago, when
most towns wanted tourists on their
main streets. The trend now is
toward the belt-line plan, which
permits passing motorists to hurry
by or stop as their inclination may
be. Rockford is not out of step
with progress.
Interesting Report Given—The
annual report of White Memorial
hospital, Los Angeles, ^Tfcfllf.. whose
staff Is composed largely of former
doctors from the Sanitarium staff
of Battle Creek. wiU be of interest
to many in Battle Creek. White
Memorial hospital has been the only
hospital In Los Angeles, except the
Municipal hospital, that has been
able to keep fuU and aU its departments

during the last year.
White Memorial has made above expenses.
White Memorial hospital
is a part of the Pacific Coast College

faculty staff Is largely former Battle
Creek persons, and whose student

young persons from Battle Creek.

Angeles Municipal hospital; Miss

Police Refuse
To Demand Life
For Coat Thief
Grand Rapids, Mar. 2.——The
police have refused to try to send
a man to prison for life for stealing
an overcoat from a church.
Instead of preferring charges of
larceny from a building—a felony—
against Ray R. Theron, 47-year-old
transient from -Brazil, Ind., the
warrant accused him of simple
larceny.
Theron, who has served six prison
terms for felonies in Illinois, Wisconsin
and Iowa, pleaded guilty
and was sentenced by Police Judge
Frank A. Hess to 90: days in jail.
Had he been convicted of larceny
from a building, a life term under
the habitual criminal law would
have been mandatory.

Detroit,. Mar. 1.—OPV—Death has
claimed another aoological oddity—
King Joseph the First, said to have
been the only African secretary bird
with an artificisa leg.
It looked like the end for King
Joe when he broke his leg two years
ago while at his favorite diversion
of tormenting the antelopes in the
Detroit BOO. But Theodore Schroder,
keeper of the BOO. fashioned a
wooden leg which Joe soon learned
to manipulate.
For greater strecgth and less
weight, Joe traded in the wooden
leg for an aluminum limb last year
and that served him until his death.
Schroder explained the secretary
bird gets its name from a crest of
feathers resembling pens.

Baby's Thumb Not
Made for Sucking,
Say Orthodontists
Detroit, Mar 2.—UPy—The Great
Lakes Association of Orthodontists,,
whose members peer into mouths
and do things to malformed jaws,
are holding their annual convention
in Detroit.
After much study -.of charts
and examination of plaster casts
from curious jaws, they issued a
ukase to the effect that thumb
sucking must go. The orthodontists
issued just such a warning 15 years
ago but 1932 seemed the time to
repeat it.
"Mother must be warned constantly
against this habit in children,"
remarked Dr. J. D. Locke, of
Grand Rapids.,president-elect.
"Mouth breathing, ah, there's another
evil," Dr. Harry L. Hosmer,
of Detroit added. "That is the most
frequent cause of protruding teeth
and receding chins."
Other orthodontists mentioned
bullying and pugnaciousness in
childhood as frequent causes of socalled
"lantern jaws."

MR. ROY QUIGLEY
Local Man Could Hardly Work
On Account of Rheumatism
Wants Friends to Know How New Natex Quickly Brought
Relief from His Suffering and Built Up Health.
Whether It be stiff, aenmg joints
that creak like the rusty hinges
of an old barn door, muscles that
are so sore that every move means
agony, or merely a little pain In
the back, we urge you to visit the
Natex man at the Mutual Cut
Rate Drug Store and learn how
the grand remedy he Is Introducing
has brought relief to hundreds
who have suffered In this way.
One of the many people to visit
the Natex man is Mr. Rov Quigley,
who lives up at Belle\ue on Route
No. 1, and he thinks so much of
Natex that he has nothing but
praise for It. He says:
"I have been suffering greatly
for a long time with rheumatism
and neuritis and. if anyone has
had to suffer day In and day out
they know the misery I have gone
through. The joints of my hands
were so sore at times that it was
almost Impossible for me to do
my work much less get any enjoyment
out of life. In fact, I felt
so tired and rundown in general
most, of the time that I really
dldnt have the ambition to do
anything. I tried to overcome this
condition by taking various medicines
and nearly everything else
that was recommended but my efforts
were worthless.
"I read in the Battle Creek paper
how Natex had aided many
cases similar to my own so I decided
to give it a trial. In the
short time that I have taken It
my neuritis and rheumatism is al- !
most entirely gone and my health
is better than it has been in many
months. I sleep soundly at night
and arise in the morning fully refreshed
and ready for the duties j
of the day. I am continuing with
the Natex treatment as I'm sure it
will end my rheumatism completely
in a little while longer.
Natex is being sold and recommended
by all leading druggists
everywhere and the Natex man is
at the Mutual Cut Rate Drug
Store, 8 W. Michigan Ave., dally
explaining the merits of this new
triple-strength prescription perfected
by a college professor from
nature's roots and herbs. See him
today. Learn how Natex can also
help you.—Adv.

been a billion and a half American dollars that" weren't working
. . . every one of them has been slowing up business.

In a desperate fight to stem the

New York. Mar. 2.—(JF)—The fortune
on which the kidnapers of the
Lindbergh baby apparently seek
to lay hands constitutes one of the
largest in New Jersey.
Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindberg
are believed in aviation circles
here to be worth between
$2,000,000 and $3,000,000. while the
fortune which the late Senator

partner, left to Mrs Lindbergh's
mother has been popularly
estimated at nearly $19,000,000.

RADY ILL WITH GDLD,
HIS MDTHER REVEALS
Anne Lindbergh Fears Child
May Suffer from Exposure
If Not Properly Glad.
Hopewell, N. J.. Mar. 2.—(JF)—
The Lindbergh baby, Charles Augustus,
Jr., who waa kidnaped last
night from his crib, was ill with
a severe cold, his mother, the former
Anne Morrow, revealed today.
She expressed fear lest the child,
clad only in night clothes, suffer
from exposure.
Mrs. Lindbergh, striving to maintain
her self control with marked
effort, told Patrolman Charles E.
Williamson of the Hopewell police
about the child's illness. She said
he had been under treatment for
several days.
Williamson's search of the nursery—he
was the first officer to
reach the Lindbergh estate following
news of the abduction—revealed
that no blankets had been taken,
lending substance to Mrs. Lindbergh's
fears that the child was
taken away Improperly clad.
The patrolman said also, quite
emphatically, that there was no
note on the window sill, although
state policemen later said such a
note was found but refused to divulge
Its contents.
Williamsoon quoted Colonel Lindbergh
as saying:
"It was very windy outside during
the early evening, and the
noise of the wind could very easily
have blanketed strange sounds
that at another time would have
been heard."

in a transport of felicitation. In
New Jersey little children picked

Healthy from Start
Gifts poured in, from baby carriage
to Xuszy dogs and the nursery
became crammed with an assortment
of toys that would delight any
child's heart. Mothers throughout
the nation read all about It with
avidity.
^
. It was important news when a
despatch from Washington told that
the child's first book was to be The
Painted Pig by his grandmother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Morrow.
At birth the child—robust and
youngster he is, and only left there
to take several trips by train to
Maine.
When his parents flew to the
Orient last year he was tahen to
North Haven for a long visit to escape

Cranks, it was disclosed, had sent

the Lindbergh estate—five miles
back in the Sourland Bill country, as
lonesome as a solo flight from New
York to Paris—and there haa been
no trace found of him since.
There were clues, but the trial was
vague. At least one of the kidnapers
was a woman. Footprints told
officers that. One of the men—
there was one man and perhaps
more—was in his stocking feet, or
wore moccasins. There was mud on
the sill of the nursery window. There
was a three-piece ladder, mutely explanatory
of the method by which
the kidnapers reached the sleeping
child. There were tracks leading a
considerable distance and then being
lost as the kidnapers apparently
go into an automobile.
The lean colonel, who dared death
along the uncharted New' York-
Paris airway with silent calm, appeared
numbed by the catastrophe
that reached into the lonely hills to
strike at him. Dressed in a leather
jacket, an old cap and a worn pair
of trousers, his shoes caked with the
sour mud which gives name to the
region, he tramped most of the
night, seeking some clue to his lost
namesake.
Sees Bundle in Ditch
In the early hours of the morning
a truck driver, arriving at Philadelphia.
reported that he had seen a
blanket - wrapped bundle "that
looked like a baby doll" lying in a
ditch beside the roadway a mile and
a half from the Lindbergh place.
State police, who Immediately
searched the entire area, reported
they were unable to find any such
bundle.
Police had not Intended to reveal
their discovery that one of the kidnapers
was a woman, but after the
information had-been Inadvertently
revealed, they elaborated somewhat.
They said the clear mark of a
woman's shoe had been distinguished
among the formless prints
of the man, or men's, stockinged
feet.
Major Charles Schoeffel of the
state police said the tracks of the
kidnapers started from the west
side of the Lindbergh home and
were traced a distance of two miles.
Kidnapers Leave Note
There were several crossroads, he
said, where a car might have picked
them up but he would not say if
tracks of a car that might have
been used had been found. All
roads were so cut up by the visiting
automobiles after the alarm was
spread that it was impossible to
distinguish tire marks.
On the nursery window was
pinned a scrawled note the contents
of which have not been divulged,
which the kidnapers left. State
police intimated that It was a demand
for ransom.
The police flashed the alarm of
kidnaping over their statewide automatic
printer. Princeton police reported
that a few hours before the
kidnaping took place, two men in a
dark sedan stopped a highway
worker and inquired directions to
the Lindbergh home.
Police watched all main highways
throughout the state for a car
answering to a vague description
of the kidnapers' automobile.
Nurse Makes Discovery
The kidnaping was discovered at
10 p. m. The baby's nurse. Betty
Gow, had put him to bed at 7:30.
When she returned to the nursery
there was only a heap of disordered
blankets In the crib. .
She rushed screaming down
stairs to the dining room, and told
the colonel and his wife, eating a
late dinner, what had happened.
Colonel Lindbergh Immediately
telephoned the state police and the
news of the kidnaping was broadcast
to police in New Jersey, New
York and Pennsylvania.
The first newspaperman to reach
the Lindbergh residence, waa an Aasoclated
Press reporter, who found
the colonel, bare-headed as usual,
nervously pacing the grounds, while
state and local police and detectives
went over the estate with
flashlights.
The house, ablaze with lights, was
silhouetted against the foreboding
background of the wooded Sourland
hills.
Household Won't Talk
Colonel Lindbergh refused to
make any statement. His butler.
Ollie ^Theatley, who hovered anxiously
near his master, likewise
nervously declined to have anything
to say. Mrs. Wheatley, the
butler's wife, who was the fifth
adult in the house when the kidnaping
was staged, likewise would
not talk.
The only statement Colonel
Lindbergh made was:
"I prefer that Major Schoeffel
answer all questions. He knows all
about it. I would rather turn
everything over to the state police.
I am sure you will understand."
The search of the ground of the
estate yielded a scant handful of
clues to the kidnapers, who had
worked with such quiet, and
stealthy dispatch that the five
adults in the house were never
aware of what was happening in
the nursery upstairs.
Cnrions Jam Reads
The nursery, which is filled with
every device for childish pleasure,
is situated in the right hand corner
of the second floor front, and
faces on the private roadway. The
open window through which
kidnapers entered Is 30 feet from
the ground.
A cordon of police was thrown
about the Lindbergh estate early
today, to keep out the hundreds of
private cars which sped there after
hearing of the kidnaping. Roads
fcr miles around were snarled In a
hopeless traffic jam.
Police have discovered no flngerprinta
in the nursery. Tbe ledge
of the nursery window by which
the kidnapers entered was covered
with dirt, evidently from the man's
feet. •
One Shatter Unlocked '
Both the nursery windows were
unlocked. The shutters of the wlni
dow are usually locked but last
nitfit bo* Mrs. UnOhergh and tha
nurse had failed to lock one of
them. The catch would not work.
The balky shutter was on the windo#
which the man used to reach
tt.j baby's crib.
Police persistently refused to divulge
the contents of the reputed
ransom note left on the window
sill. They did say. however, that
Inquiry would be made whether the
50 men employed in the building of
the Lindbergh mansion were paid
by check to determine if there
were any signatures similar to the
writing in the note.
CoL Henry Breckenrldge. of New
York. Lindbergh's attorney, accompanied
by another man and a woman,
arrived at the house early today
and went upstairs immedateiy.
Go Over Ground Again
Col. Lindbergh remained indoors
from 5:30 to 6:30 this morning
and then renewed the search
about the estate. Accompanied by
a group of troopers, he went over
all the ground covered last night by
the aid of flashlights.
Colonel Breckenrldge, who has
taken complete charge of the
house, warned reporters not to follow
the aviator around, under
penalty of their being put off the
estate.
Mrs. Lindbergh could be seen
through the windows. Like her
husband, she showed the strain of
the ordeal and her eyes were swollen
and red from crying and lack
of sleep. She was dressed in sport
clothes.
A trooper entered the house with
a blanket but it was Immediately
denied it was taken with the baby
Lindbergh.
TAX REDUCTION ARE
SEEN AS SURE RESULT
(Continued from Page One.)
from 1910 to 1930 of 750 percent"
as reason for such protests and reviewed
the causes of the present
burden of taxation.
"The total cost of government,
federal, state and local in 1890,"
said Mr. Lovett. "waa $855,000,-
000; in 1929 it was $13,048,000.-
000. On » per capita basis, it
was $13.56 in 1890 and in 1929
It was $107.37. In 1913 the cost
of government took about $1 Cor
e^ery $15-50 of our national income,
and now it takes about $1
for every $5 of our national
income."
State Tax But Small
Mr. lovett discussed taxation
division within the state and concerning
taxation for state government
said. "The state's revenue
comes largely from specific taxes,
and the burden upon property for
the state tax is practically negligible,
only about 10 percent of the tax
total. The rate today for state purposes
actually Is less than it was
in 1910." He said the state budget
for 1933 would be $28,783,000, compared
to $29,315,000 in 1932, and
praised the present administration's
efforts in reducing the $8,000,000
deficit which faced it.
Special Service Reviewed
Mr. Lovett reviewed some of the
special services being supplied by
the state, and for which the taxpayers
foot tho bill. "There are
some two million dollars in the
present state budget far medical
services for children and for transportation
of children in Michigan,"
he said. "No doubt this is a worthy
service, but the question Is immediately—can
the taxpayers stand it?
"The extension work of the agricultural
colleges among the farmers
runs into hundreds of thousands of
dollars every year. That is a splendid
service, paternalistic it is true,
but can the farmer afford to psy for
It? Can the taxpayers support this
service? In the last 10 years in Detroit
some 300 different activities
have been added, all of which started
slowly with a small budget, but
expanded with such rapidity as can
only be found in governmental service."
"It Is quite apparent," he said,
"that the state government has not
added to the property taxes of Michigan.
Where, then, has the great
increase been. Inasmuch as there
has been an increase in the total
amount of taxes raised from 1910
to 1930 of 750 percent? Let's get
back to local taxes.
Local Taxes Blamed
•County taxes In 1929 were
5.32 times as great as they were
in 1913. School taxes in 1929 were
6.83 times as great as in 1913.
Other local taxes in 1929 were
5.87 times as great as they were
in 1913. Even without greatly
ineerasing the valuation of assessed
property on the tax rolls,
the tax rate for county, school
and other local taxes combined,
increased from $17.90 per thousand
of valuation, to $28.11 per
thousand In 1928. It is manifest
that the Increased burden on
the general property tax Is being
caused entirely by the socalled
local taxes.
"In addition to the enormous sums
spent in taxation, the total bonded
indebtedness of the political subdivisions
of Michigan have raised
the enormous sum of approxiately
$800,000,000.
"One oould go on analysing the
statistlcs of taxation for hours, but
we would all come to the ultimate
conclusion that too much money has
been spent for services which the
people themselves should lock after
and assume the responsibility for."
Robert R. Thomson, president of
tha Manufacturers' club. Introduced
MT. Lovett and State Senator E. L
Branson who briefly Tlinruvird the
taxation problems which confront
the state legislature at its special
session which convenes on March
29.

Washington. Mar. 3.——An
opinion that the kidnaping of 30-
month-old Charles A. Lindbergh.
Jr., was "obviously the work of professionals"
and possibly was done
by an organized kidnaping ring from
the midwest, was expressed today by
Frank J. Loesch. who was a member
of the Wickersham

crime commission, declared emphatically
the crime bore the stamp of
kidnapings engineered by a gang ha
believes is centered in or near Chicago.
"It was a marvelously arranged
affair," he said. "It showed marked
famillary with the Lindbergh
premises and those who did it must
have been waiting for a long time
and must have benefited from Inside
information—I mean casual or
unwitting information gained from
some member of the household."

Soldiers and civilians alike jammed

the mass of humanity soon dwindled

Following the departure of the

considerably. Some observers predicted
the retreat would bring an
end to the fighting but the Chinese
insisted that the battie would be

Grew with Haphazard
Building Plan—Shrub
4 'in
House" Transplanted.
It's taking longer to tear down
one old house than it would to build
a couple more modern ones.
The
old Edwin C. Nichols place on Capital
Ave. N. E.. at Fremont, is resisting
to the last the efforts of a
wrecking crew.
Three men have
been at work about three months
now and it may be another month
before the job is finished.
About 60 years ago the best of
materials and workmanship went
into the building of the Nichols
home and the result was the finest
house in Battle Creek," a showplace
to be pointed out to visitors.
Now
the materials are being salvaged to
be used in several modern bungalows.
Joseph W. Harmon, a contractor
who purchased the house
from its last owner, the Old-Merchants
National Bank & Trust Co..
reckoned at the start there might
be enough well preserved wood in it
to provide rough material for the
construction of about five bungalows.
He surveyed his salvage Tuesday
afternoon and guessed that
there might be even more than he
estimated at first.
The construction
of the old house was so peculiar
-that much of the material was hidden.
At the outset Mr. Harmon didn't
know he would And double partitions
and double lathing throughout
the first two floors of the
three-story house.
He didn't suspect,
either, that he would discover
multiple studding at the
comers of all the rooms.
Neither
had he counted on double floors.
All these things, into which went
extra materials, were hidden until
the razing started.
The Nichols house could have
been built and built well according
to present day standards with
half the materials, says Mr. Harmon.
The double partitions, with
double lathing and plaster, Mr.
Harmon hazards, may have been
built because Mr. Nichols wished
to have the house as nearly soundproof
as possible. The windows
on the first two fioors all were of
plate glass a good quarter of an
inch thick.
Some of the windows
were of leaded glass, some beautifully
stained and
others beveUed
and set in bronze.
It's hard to guess just what kind
of noises Mr. Nichols wished to
keep out. There were no automobiles
in those days and horses
plodded by drawing the street cars
along the maple lined avenue.
Mr. Harmon is of the opinion
that Mr. Nichols was his own architect
and built the house with day
labor.
There Is evidence here and
there that the house was not expertly
planned, that the builder
went so far and then figured out
what he would do next.
This haphazard
method may account for the
many studding at some of the
comers.
In come places there are
as many as 18 and 20 two-by-fours
within a place 18 inches square.
The wreckers get a chuckle now
and then out of the vast number of
nails used in the house. There
must have been a ton or more of
them, nearly all of the old cut tmHI
variety long since discarded in
favor of the round nails with flat
heads.
More recent kinds of nails
were found In
rooms which Mr.
Nichols added to the house in later
years, but in the original part there
was a prodigious number In every
board.
One hundred and fifteen
were counted in one
five-quarter
board 12 feet long and six Inches
wide.
Woods now too expensive to be
used for houses went into the
Nichols home.
The siding, for Instance,
was all white pine. Modem
homes are built of southern yellow
pine. Joists were 2x12 and studding
were 26 feet long. These are being
lowered with ropes so that they will
not be broken.
Not much of the house win be
wasted. Scraps of wood will be sold
for kindling.
Even the foundation
stones will be used ov-r again.
Several older residents passing the
place have stopped to ask Mr. Harmon
If he found the underground
passage way which was supposed to

Mrs. W. S. Nelson. 720 West Hanover,
reported to the sheriff's department
Tuesday evening that
boys were throwing stones at her
house. Night Officer Purcell investigated
but there were no boys
in the vicinity when he arrived.
Mr. Harmon has had to
a
passageway but it extends only a
few feet to a hole in the driveway
into which Mr. Nichols had his coal
dumped.
Another cause of
curiosity has
been the
disappearance from the
front yard of the rhododendron
shrub for which Mr. Nichols cared
so tenderly. Mr. Nichols had a
portable house made for it and
every fall he would pack it and enclose
It for the winter. He did this
faithfully every fall, although those
who understand rhododendrons say
it was quite unnecessary. The shrub
has been transplanted to the home
of P. W. Sullivan, father of R. A.
Sullivan of 211 Bmmett, near
Augusta.

Lansing, Mar. 2.—(^P)—The state
supreme court today held that when
public funds are legally deposited
in banks which subsequently fall,
they do not constitute trust funds
or have preference over those deposits.
The ruling was made in the
case of Rudolph E. Relchert, state
banking commissioner, against the
Berkeley State bank and the American
State bank of Femdale.
In
these cases, township funds
were deposited and the required depository
bond was furnished. Later
the banks cancelled the depository
bonds.
The court held it was the
duty of township treasurers to
transfer the funds to other depositories
when the bonds were cancelled.
The township board had ordered
such a transfer, but the
treasurer failed to comply.
In a recent opinion, the court
held that when public funds are
deposited without the bonds required
by la- •, they become trust
funds.
An Investigation into the receiverships
of banks and trust companies
was ordered today by Governor
Brucker.
A petition for such
an inquiry was filed recently by E.
A. Nowack, Lansing publisher, who
charged that dual receiverships for

Trust companies of Detroit constituted
an unnecessary drain upon

DID YOU KNOW THAT—
C ONNIE MACKS says that of a
hundred bases stolen nowadays.
not more than 10 can be
blamed on the catcher . . . and
that he has seen Mickey Cochrane
throw out runners when he,
Mr. Mack, didn't think there
was a chance to get them. . . .
Pitchers let runners get a big
lead, says Mack, and "we have
some pitchers who are rather
careless about that. It takes
them a long time to get the ball
away, but when a fellow like
Waite Hoyt is pitching you don't
see the other club run.'\ . . .
Continuing, Mack said, "The
Cards didn't run on Hoyt—not
even Martin." . . . Whoa! . . .
Perhaps Mr. Mack does not remember
that Martin drove a sacrifice
fly against Hoyt his first
time at bat In the fifth game

time . . . and smacked a homer
into the left field stands the
third time . . . which actually

he was squelched by a snappy

NOW OO ON WITH TBE STORY
CHAPTER III
Ellen had her feet planted firmly
In her small world by the time she
had seated herself. She had seen
other girls pay the swift penalty for
this man's Intent interest? What
had possessed her?
"So you see It's really nothing,"
she concluded stiffly. "Only the
lack of an evening dress. I'm afraid
I've drawn a dreadful picture. It's
not a fair or truthful one. We have
lots of fun. We love each other.
Anyone would say that an evening
dress wasn't important."
"I wasn't going to say that."
Ellen felt suddenly annoyed with
herself, annoyed with Barclay, as
though he had taken advantage of
a moment of weakness to force an
unwilling confidence. What real interest
could a man who sailed for
Europe to buy a single piece of Jade
feel in the petty, financial difficulties
of one of his minor employes?
Her cheeks grew hot.
She remembered that Jenny Elkins
below in the basement had
promised to care for her counter
i only for 10 minutes. She glanced
| toward the door, longing to rush
j from the room.
Barclay noticed her restiveness
I and suspected her attitude.
| "No. I wasn't going to say that."
j he repeated. "I was going to tell
1 you something about myself, some-
she answered, that even if she were
it was too late to change.
"I'm sure I have that right," she
said. Her tone was resolute but
she softened it with a glance of shy
merriment.
The man considered a moment.
His face cleared and when he
smiled so many years dropped away
from him that Ellen felt he must
look almost as he had looked to
his young wife. She had thought
him handsome and distinguished
before but separated from her by
miles of spiritual distance, separated
from her by many years and
by great wealth. For the first time
she saw him not as her employer
but as a man..
"Well, if you won't, you won't!"
he said decisively. "It may be that
young girls should be suspicious of
older men bearing gifts—I dont
know. But I've thought of a compromise.
Surely you can't refuse to
borrow a dress."
"Borrow a dress!"
"Certainly. Don't look so astounded.
We seldom sell the gowns
that the models wear. You'll borrow
one of them and return it when
your engagement is over."

Taking her consent for granted,
he turned at once to ring a bell.

Ellen Rossiter, a girl of 20, cleareyed

Ellen had neither the heart nor the
wish to demur. Indeed, she felt her
spirits rising. By so simple an act
as ringing a bell. Steven Barclay
had settled the problem of where
the Rossiter rent was to come from.
With the help of "a borrowed dress

A few minutes later a saleswoman
arrived with a lovely cargo of
evening dresses. Steven Barclay had frills on Ellen's dress.
slipped away. Ellen was alone in
the office. She appreciated the department
store owner's tact and his
wisdom. Barclay's was notoriously
a hotbed for gossip. The tiniest Incident
that involved Steven Barclay
was always of abnormal Interest to
his employes. Fortunately the saleswoman
who brought the gowns was
placidly incurious.
The next 15 minutes were sheer
heaven for Ellen. She had never
owned an evening gown, evening
gowns being one of the items Invariably
missing from Aunt Myra's
boxes. She had not known it would
be such fun to select a gown only
because it made her beautiful.
She stood before a long mirror
and help up before herself, one by
one, gowns that she was convinced
were the loveliest in the world. It
was pure bliss to see that, although
line and color seemed almost to

white taffeta falling to the floor.
But it had been made in France by
a great couturier who called his
creation "Jeune FiUe."
Barclay returned after Ellen had
seen the other gowns carried away.
He glanced at the ivory taffeta over
her arm. He hesitated and then
said:
"I'm glad you selected that one.**
As Ellen looked into his eyes she
saw with a little shock, half of fear
and half of strange pride, that life
was suddenly becoming exciting.
(To Be Continued)
Randolph Field, 14 miles from
San Antonio, Tex., will soon become
the world's greatest aviation school.
Already costing nearly $10,000,000
with expenditure of $40,000,000 more
possible, the field will be used for
training men in the U. S. army air
corps.

Without giving Sue an opportunity
to answer her question, Grace
went on talking, giving her own
answer. "I grew up across the

helped him when he needed help.

It seemed to Sue that a voice

opening Into his secretary's office.
e s e
Ellen's heart took another downward
dip. Her hands, folded in
her lap. ached from their tight grip
upon each other.
When Barclay sat down opposite
her she raised her frightened eyes.
She had been too really terrified
before, too appalled, to attempt to
draw any hope of a possible second
chance from Steven Barclay's face
or manner. But now. as she looked
at him. she saw all at once that she
had been wrong.
This man did not intend to dismiss
her. He leaned forward, his

"that you won't think I'm
interfering in something which

course. But perhaps you'll forgive
me when I tell you that I can not
bear to see an employe—to see
someone so young as you are—in
such trouble without attempting to
learn if there is something I can
do. Some way that I can help."
Ellen had been prepared for dismissal.
She had not prepared for
sympathy. For a moment revulsion
of feeling made her actually dizzy.
Her heart was suffocating her and
she felt she could hardly breathe.
But she forced herself to answer
him.
"It's—it's nothing Important,"
she managed at length.
"I was afraid you'd say that. It
probably would be nothing to me.
Obviously it's not that to you. But
I do think it's nothing that can't
be solved. Wont you tell me?"
1 • e e
At any other time Ellen would
have withdrawn into the fastness of
the Rossiter pride. Just then she
had such an overwhelming need for
sympathy, such an overwhelmHig
need for the advice of someone
older, someone responsible, that the
whde story was out before she
could check tbe rush of words.
Myra and Bert; her mother and her
disastrous shopping tours; Mike,
delightful baby Mike, who should
have his chance; the Brooklyn
apartment and the countless, harrasstng
worries to balance on their
slim shoulders the burden of a
family, an that and more she
poured forth.
She stopped at last In constema-
Ellen forgot Jenny Elkins in the
basement. She had not known
that Barclay had been poor. It was
hard to .imagine that distinguished,
graying man who wore clothes so
carefully cut, so Indicative of
wealth, in such a role. But she
could visualize clearly the young
wife who had wanted a pink dress
with pink ribbons.
"No one offered to give her that
dress." Barclay continued. "If anyone
had I'm sure we both would
have refused it. We were proud,
you understand—proud as you are
proud. I was going to become a
rich man—going to buy her dozens
upon dozens of dresses." He hesitated
and added almost roughly,
"She was dead—dead with my
young son before she ever had a
pink dress."
Ellen gave a distressed little cry.
"We had fun too," he told her.
"Much the same sort of fun you
and your brother, Mike, and your
sister, Myra, are having now. But
if we'd only been less stiff-necked,
less afraid of thifc motives of other
people, how much easier it would
have been."
"Afraid?".
The heavy Rossiter brows rose in
twin peaks.
"Young people havent changed
much in spite of all the shouting,"
Barclay observed obliquely. "Thev're
still afraid, aren't they, to accept a
favor to do a greater favor? They're
Just as Auspicious, Just as conventional
and every bit as proud. You,
I'm sure, would never allow me to,
give you a lift. - You wouldn't allow
me, would you, to give you one
dress from a store which has hundreds
of them? You'd rather hug
your troubles to yourself, worry
yourself sick, woulthrt you? You'd
rather be selfish."
-I'm afraid I would," EUcn admitted.
Barclay's smile was rueful. He
made one more attempt.
"You know, 6f course, that you
are depriving me of a great pleasure.
Are you sure you have that
right?"
Ellen felt confused. Was it possible
that she was too stiff-necked,
as he had accused her of being, too
conventional, too careful entirely?
Then she decided, so quickly that
almost no pause befor*

Sentence Given
Springfield. HL. Mar. X-VFh-
Fourteen years having elapsed since
Joseph Young was sentenced, the
authorities decided that it was about
time to put hfrn in the Illinois
reformatory.
Superintendent John R. Cranor of
the Pontiac, HI., reformatory advised
Attorney General Oscar E.
Carlstrom that Young was sentenced
on December 18, 1918. but .did not
reach the institution until February
4, 1933.
Young was 20 when sentenced.
Now he is 34. So much time had
elapsed between the time of sentence
and committment that Camor
asked the attorney general what effect
if any. the delay had on the
status of the prisoner. Carlstrom
advised Cranor he had no alternative
but to accept him.
Presumably, Cranor said. Young's
committment papers were lost by a
jail clerk back in 1918 and new
ones were Just recently Issued.

its world premier here Monday
night. It sticks barbs into medicine,
government, the British army,
religion, family life and the league
of nations. The plot didn't hit people
as very important, serving at
best as a vehicle for Shaw's wit and
philosophy.
