amy xa icagin - Matchstick Hangs Brutal Killer In May, 1927; an attendant at Charing Cross station left lug- "gage office complained bitterly about the awful smell coming rom the corner of the depart- ment. Finally he traced the stench to an old-fashioned trunk. He prised it open and inside was a woman's body, cut up into five . pieces. With the help of science, the killer was finally brought to justice. The police constable who was called to the station would not . allow the remains to be removed' | until a police surgeon had certi- tied the woman was dead. It was a scientific. miracle which sent John Robinson to the gallows in 1927. With a cut-up body in a trunk there was a piece of brown paper, a duster and a dirty piece «of undercloth- ing. From that unpromising be- ginning the scientists got to work with their ray lamps. From a completely blank picce of paper, metal, or cloth, after treatment by acid, all sorts of marks can be read under the ray lamp which are quite invisible to the naked eye. Sir Bernard Spilsbury, who was trying to identiiy the re- mains, had a most unpleasant task.

Then the infra-red and ultra- violet ray lamps produced identifiable laundry marks. They in turn soon led to the identifi- cation of the remains as a wo- man known as Minnie Bonati, the wife of an Italian waiter She was, to say the least, a promiscuous woman, having liv- éd with a number of other men in the previous year or two. The body identified, it was now a question of finding the person responsible, Once again science helped. But this case, which became known as the Charing Cross Trunk Murder, was famous for the brilliant detective work that took place. Two of the junior officers con- cerned ultimately rose to the head of their profession. Hugh Young was to become Head ot the C.D. at the Yard, and Len Burt, Head of the Special Branch. Then they. were both sergeants. In the Charing Cross murder the scientific and detective in- vestigation was brilliant. But in spite of that it is doubtful whe- ther the police would have been successful in tracing the mur- derer without a lucky break. A shoe-shiner outside Charing Cross station had picked up a left luggage ticket. This was soon identified as belonging to the evil smelling trunk, and before long the shoe-shiner was able to identity the taxi which had brought the fatal trunk to the station. The driver of the taxi was able to take the story a step farther. He wag able to remem- ber that he had taken a fare to Rochester Row police station on the afternoon of May 6th. He had dropped his passenger and 'had immediately been hailed by a fare from an office opposite the police station. He had struggled to help this fare with a large, black, heavy trunk and driven him to Charing Cross station, He identified the trunk; . which -was found to have" heen sold to an unidentified man two days before. An investigation of the.prem- ises showed that one set of offices was now empty. They had been occupied by Mr. Robinson who, when he was interviewed, denied everything. Nor was he identi- fied by anybody. The police returned to the of- . fices and again they were lucky. At the bottom of an old waste- paper basket they found a blood- stained match. This was a vital clue the police had been seek- ing. It made Robinson the main suspect. Then the duster found in" the trunk wrapped round the dead woman was traced to 'a public house in Fulham -- where Robinson's wife was barmaid. When he was interviewed for the second 'time Mr, Robinson | t-1ite-- The two boys had not | ~1~bégan "his statement with the fatal words: "I'll tell you all about it." He need never have had to tell the story if science hadn't found the matchstick. The story he told was an old one. A woman starting to scream. An attempt to silence her, then panic and death. Reprieves --_ even acquittals -- have been known for such murders. But John Robinson made the mistake of cutting up his victim and telling a lot of lies until he realized there was a cast-iron case against him. Such men are never popular with juries, Mr. Robinson went to the gallows. By David Ensor in "Tit-Bits."" Q. When a toast is proposed to a-person, should this person drink from his glass, too? A.

Poor little fellows -- born into an age of space travel and interplane- tary missiles. I am glad things were not so complicated when we were raising a family. At that time our only worry, espe- cially during the depression, was to keep our heads above water and to make sure the children were adequately fed, clothed and educated" -- all minor prob- lems compared with the preset space-age. -- Well, one of the eye-catching news items last week concerned the Ontario Hospital Services Commission -- in the red to the tune of over six million dollars. This is of vital importance to almost everyone since 95 percent of the population. pay insurance premiums. Why the deficit? Several explanations have been given which boil down to the primary fact that there are more patients than beds. Even so one wonders why it should be almost impossible to get a hospital bed except for an emergency. Now don't misunderstand me. I am not actually critical of the Com- mission. 1 think it is doing a marvellous job. Those who are ilf are getting better care than at any time in history. Last summer when Partner was - in hospital we didn't have a thing to complain about, In fact it was our opinion that hospitals are leaning over 'backwards in giv- ing care to patients once 'they are in hospital. And there you haye the crux of the story -- once they are in hospital. But, unless you happen to be an emergency the chances are that while you are waiting for a bed you will 'either die or get better! Here dare a few isolated cases, personally known t6 me, "Mrs, L." suffered a hedrt at- tack. Hospitalization. was. clear- ly indicated but there was no bed available, Mrs, L. was in bed ten weeks with only an elderly husband to care for her. In addition she had to pay for diagnostic services which would beds? have been coyered had she been in hospital. In other words hav- ing hospita! insurance did not benclit her one cent. "Mrs. S." 'Is a young widow ith two small children. "She has some kind of remittent fever which, so far, her doctor has been unable thinks the only solution is for her to go into hospital for a com- plete check-up. After telling her that he shook his head and add- ed -- "But I-'doubt if IT can get you a bed for two months!" That "was just last week so we don't know what the end of that story will be. T am sure many doctors must be as worried as_their pa- tients. "Mrs. O." is an elderly lady - living with her son, his wife and their four small children. After Christmas she developed pneu- "monia. The same old story -- no hospital bed available. Imagine nursing a pnéumonia patient on a second floor room with four all children running arqund ownstairs, - What is- the answer to this complex question? Ilere is one solution I have not yet seen mentioned. If out-patient care were included in hospital in- surance wouldn't there be fewer people clamoring for hospital Surely in: the long run operation costs 'would be less rather than more. Diagnostic services for even one patient would surely be less costly than keeping him in a hospital bed for even one day. Anyway, it should be a service available to all policy holders -- especially if insurance rates are _to be given .a fifteen percent _ boost. George Jessel Takes His Own Tip For some weeks, radio listen- "ers in _Los Angeles hdve been hearing raconteur George Jessel in perhaps his best-known vau- deville routine: A telephone talk with Mama. This time he was promising to check every month" because he'd sunk his savifigs'in a sure thing: | The Beverly Hills Security In- vestments Corp.,, a firm which - sells property deeds, guarantees its customers a 10 per cent yearly return. Jessel suggested that "Aunt Gussie should invest ° Uncle Phil's. life insurance" in BHSI. At this point, the unsentiment- al SEC rang down the curtain. A six-count complaint charged Jes- sel and the firm's three officers with "fraud" and "deceit." De- spite BHSI's claim that it was fully backed by a "substantial" equity in. real estate, customers who asked for thelr money couldn't get it back, the SEC said. Moreover, the firm never told its new. customers that it wasn't meeting the payments to its older clients. In Miami Beach where he is vacationing, Jessel pointed out that-he has no formal connection with the company, thus "I be- lieve I am entirely in the clear." Nor is he one to take his own advice lightly: "They asked me to do a commercial, and I be- lieved in it so much I bought some of it myself," he said. to diagnose.

For 800 years, this fairy-tale bird has migrated there annually from South Africa and from this city the legend spread that the stork delivers babijes. Not so long ago, there were' at least seventy pairs of white - storks nesting in Strasbourg, and more in the neighbouring towns of Colmar and Mulhouse. Now Strasbourg , a recent count revealed, has only five stork nests left. These are giant -structures made -of -dried- twigs; + grass and earth nearly five feet in diameter and weighing a good thousand pounds. 'According to Professor Augus- to Toschi of the University of Bologna, the storks are tiring of haunts. In- pairs are now stead; several nesting on rooftcps near Biella "in Northern Italy. The Italians are delighted, be- cause the storks are bringing an extra tourist attraction. Relax And Chew -- But Not The Rag! Steady and constant chewing relaxes your nerves.

Costs More To Be Sick In Britain Cod-liver oil, a a shilling (14 cents) and orange juice, 1 shil- ling sixpence (21 cents) a 6- 'ounce bottle, Vitamin pills, six- pence (7 cents) a packet of 485. Prescriptions, 2 aents) for any drug. Private hos- 'pital beds, up to 8 pounds 8 shillings ($23. 52) a week. Incredible as it may seem to Americans, these suggested prices, were met with the tradi- tional political cries of "Shame!" and "Resign!" when Britain's Minister of Health Enoch Powell announced before the House of Commons that Britons would have to pay a bit more for their socialized medicine. "This is a major assault on the health ser- vice," protested. Opposition Leader Hugh Gaitskell. But in one of Commons' most rowdy sessions, the Laborites last month failed to muster enough prelim- inary votes to reject the govern- ment's new health prices. Pas- sage seemed assured. By this action Britain's twelve- year-old National Health Service, which pays out $2.4 billion a year for medical benefits would get another $182 million in in- come. At the present time Bri- tons pay only 26 cents out of their weekly paychecks. In re- turn, they get (besides free medical care) free vitamins. and cod-liver oil. They can get any prescription filled for only 14 cents, and if they want a private hospital bed it costs only about. $12 a week. Now, under the new NHS plan the weekly paycheck deduction 1a raised from 26 cents to 38 cents and the employer's contribution from 7 cents to 9 At the same time, the prices of some items like pre- scriptions have been raised, and hitherto free items, like cod- liver oil, will be charged for. Actually, the average Briton didn't seem as upset by the price rise' as the Laborite politicians were. agreed in most cases he could afford to pay the bill. As one - London father of two children ut it: "I'm thankful for getting enefits still so cheaply." But many British Foctors fear- ed that some chranically in gould not afford the higher pre- scription costs. The medical pro- " fession, which for some time has been enthusiastic about -sociali- zed medicine, sided emphatically with the Laborites In criticizing the price rise. "We have always opposed pre- - scription charges," a British Medical Association spokesman said. "We. feel they create a fi- nancial barrier between the pa- tient and the treatment he may require."--From NEWSWEEK. Rent A Castle For A Shilling A Year An Englishman's home is his castle, so they say. Well, why 'not rent one? For a shilling a year you can rent Dunrobin, the fairy-tale castle belonging to the Duke of Sutherland, in Scotland. There's only one snag. The seventy-two-year-old Duke will ask the new tenant to produce ~ £10,000 as an upkeep fund. This way it will be possible to "avoid income tax. If the Duke charged £10,000 a year rent, that would be subject to income | tax. But by having a tenant put up the money 'or upkeep, there will be no tax. Every penny of the money will be spent on maintaining: the castle, which has been in the Duke's. family for 500-years.--:In - return, the new tenant will get shillings (28 A © ago he He didn't like it, but grouse-shooting and deer-stalk- ing and a fully furnished castle that looks like something straight out of Hans Andersen. It even has its own railway station, which is still used, bug only for request stops.
