She said •••*..'•'was all her fault. Helen was seventeen. She came to the city a few years ago. Before that she had lived in Coaltown, Pa. She came to the city and stayed • with a member of her family who 'lived here This woman took the young girl in hand and proceeded to .teach her how to live without work Ing. In the course of time Helen moved fo a rooming house In Bast Fourth street. She had an arrangement with . the owner, who allowed her a room rent free. Across the street lived Paul Hudnick, a young man Helen had known In her home town. They met and she fell in love with him. Helen moved to ia< bare attic room at No. 63 St Mark's place where she paid $5 a week. Helen still went around with boys, but her money ran short. She had no dresses, only a skirt and sweater, and the skirt was borrowed. Paul fell ill and was taken to Bellevue hospital where he was operated on for appendicitis. Helen went to " eee him there but was driven away by the young man's mother. That night Helen told friends she would kill herself if she and Paul didn't get married. That was the story, friends told detectives on the crowded fourth Boor landing of No. 63 St Mark's place. In RETIRED CAPTAIN IS CHAMPION LIAR Title With Tab Monster Whale. Burlington, Wis.--Anton Delano, retired Great Lakes captain, is acclaimed the champion 1929 prevaricator of Burlington. That title is slanderous to some, but to Captain Delano it carries great significance. When, several years ago, Burlington's aged citizens vied with one another for the honor of telling the biggest "whopper," no rules or regulations governed the contests. Iu 1922, however, the competition was placed 00 an orderly basis. A code embodying the following principles was adopted: Contestants must be at least seventy years of age, they must tell at least three fibs, and they must be related In ordinary conversation, in the presence of one or more of the judges. The winner's "champion lie" was related only three days before the close of the 1829 season. "Before I came to the lakes I served my time on the seven seas," the captain said. "On one voyage in a bark out of Havre to Boston we were driven far north by contrary winds. We passed a lot of icebergs, some of them bigger than the biggest ship I'd ever seen. "One day we came upon a school of whales. There were some of the biggest of their <Jtind you ever saw. Even the babies must have been 15 fathoms long. A fpjkftom of six feet, yon know," he explained, carefully. "But the b'lggest whale of all was Just a trifle over three miles long." The listeners interrupted the narrator with Jeers tinged with sincere disbelief. The captain grew angry, "I know what I'm talking about," he Insisted. "I measured that whale. It was easy. We were making three knots an hour. I threw the log over to make sure myself. At eight bells we were just even with his tall. At one baU, half an hour later, we still hadn't pasfeed him, Just a trifle after two bells, one hour from the time we started, we passed his head. And that miakt» him just a bit over three miles long?* Captain Delano was presented with a,medal by Chief of Police Frank Beller, donor and sponsor of the "whopper contest." the Had Turned oe a rear room Helen lay in bed. her body covered with a quilt The medical examiner said sb^ had turr^c^on the gas. ?

"I love you, only Ood knows how much. - But my sorrow Is great Paul. It hurts me very much Indeed. I am going forever and ever. "With love, your promised wife. Helen."

Man in Fear of Slow Death Kills Himself Salt Lake City.--Apparently panicstricken over loss of blood and the possibility of facing *a slow death in the wilderness of the Jackson Hole country in western Wyoming, S.

The early Indians came with their primitive civilization, lived upon the plain and were gone. Uncivilized groups from the north and west followed them, and more cultured Indians from the east came to dwell at times in this state. Evidence of their age and civilisation were left behind by all of these peoples, the professor believes. He has suggested amateur expeditions In conjunction with organised archeolog- Ical excavations to uncover what the swind has hidden. Residents around Missoula and other parts of the state. Professor Turney-High said, have found many of the old Indian relics. He has proposed a large Indian museum Into which all of these scientific treasures might be brought The building would contain only items of Indian character, which would be classified and credited to the donor. To emphasise his plea for such a museum. Professor Turney-Hlgh claimed that relics of this sort increase in scientific value yearly. In addition he pointed out that they are buried deeper each year. TO CHECK ACCUMULATION OF SOOT IN FURNACES.-- A little ordinary lea. cream salt will go a long ways toward solving one of the problems of the home owner--the problem of economically heating his home. The burning of bltumlnous coal which, of course, is much cheaper than anthracite, can be freed from one of its principal drawbacks, excessive soot by the use of a handful of salt now and then when the interior of the furance becomes coated and the draft somewhat curtafled. For best results with the salt, the fire should be built up to a good heat and then the salt thrown on. After a few mln utes the interior of the furnace will be found to have whitened appreciably from the chemical action of the burning salt and shortly the soot will be found to have been almost Entirely removed. Incidentally, keeping the ash pit free from ashes to allow a maximum velocity of air through the ash pit, and running the fire with the slide in the coaling door open will aid materially in keeping down the soot.-- Washington, Star. How Cfiemical Process Improves Sweet Milk Recently report was made of fruitless efforts to make sweet milk sweeter at the time of production. Now the chemists of the Department of Agriculture are announcing that ihey have tackled the problem from a different angle and sought to make milk sugar sweeter after production and have'been successful. y The lactose, or milk sugar, has a very Important place In the feeding of babies and In regulating the diets of invalids. Heretofore, the production of lactose has been confined to the alpha-hydrate form, which has not only been a dry. chalky powder, but has had a flat taste, not particularly sweet and of little solubility. Because of these unattractive characteristics, the sale at lactose has been rather slow. The new process worked out by the (chemists has"resulted in the development of the beta hydrate, which is "readily soluble and appear*, therefore, to be much sweeter. Forgotten Weddings That old phrase, "human document," Is nowhere more applicable than to marriage licenses, according to Mike Cruise, New York's city clerk. Mike has married more couples, probably, than shy other living. man, and his office In the Municipal building Is a fascinating library of his human documents. It Is astonishing, according to Cruise, to find how many persons forget when they were married, and come to the files to brush up on their memories. It is also astonishing, he says, to learn how many persons don't know if they are really married or not Many a woman becomes suspicious of her husband, and decides that he must have had a past So she goes to the marriage license files to find out If he ever had another wife. • • • New Art PTfBU It appears that the Job of being a masseuse has become a high and expensive art I learned the other day that a masseuse named Sylvia commands a salary of $300 a week from a single motion picture concern, and she has the privilege .of taking on outside work at $10 an hour. Her job in the movies is to keep Gertie Sylph and other lovely stars In the pink of condition. Sylvia knows where all the glands are, and it appears that there are thousands of glands that need exercise. If one's ankles are becoming a bit too thick, an ankle gland Is to be blamed. • • • • ; Absent Minded A certain New Yorker who makes Broadway his haunt Is known among his intimate friends as "Shoeless." He got the title through his absent-mindedness. Some time ago he appeared before his household all ready to go to work. His hat and coat were on, and he said good-by as he stepped to the door. t Then somebody called to him: "You've forgotten to put on your shoes." A glance at his feet showed that the accusation was true. That's why he Is called "Shoeless" and probably will be known ^as such for years to cows. How to Apply Paint The bureau of standards says that paint will not "hold" on a galvanised (zinc) surface unless It has been roughened, either as a result of weathering or by some chemical solution, «. g., copper acetate The length of tijne the surface should be weatherel will vary according to the atmosphere, being decidedly less in a heavy industrial atmosphere than In the open country, for example.

Wills of this city. Wills reports killing a chicken for the family table recently which had two perfectly formed gizzards. Unless some member of the family is particularly fond of gizzard, there can be no advantage in having such a bird, Wills thinks, for undoubtedly It would eat twice as much as the normal fowl. The bird In question was a Rhode Island Red rooster of last season's hatch. How Left-Handednes* Compft . A survey by the Journal of Heredity of London shows that left-handedness is inherited to some extent at least In families in which one or both parents were lefthanded more than 17 per cent of the children were ileft-handed also. In families where neither parent was left-handed there was only 2 per cent of left-handednqss among the children. Which is in keeping with the old adage, "like father like son."--Capper's Weekly. How Greatness Is MmiinI There is no more deviation in the moral standard than in the standard of height or bulk. No greater meij are now than ever were. A singular equality may be observed between the great men of the first and of the last ages; nor can all the science, art, religion and philosophy of the Nineteenth century avail to educate greater men than Plutarch's heroes, three or four and twenty centuries ago.--Emerson. - ; I __ How to Cleanse' Ivory Grease stains may be removed from ivory by applying a paste of chalk and benzol; when dr^, rub off with stilt brush.

Death Valley, Calif.--Cities, as well as hardy pioneers, are burled in Death Valley. Such famous "ghost- towns" as Greenwater, Rhyolite, Panamlnt, and Skidoo, to mention only four, are all in the region. Greenwater, however, was the only town ever built on the floor of the valley. 'In 1906 and 1907 a deceptive copper lode brought 2,500 residents to the site of the shaft, and a town, optimistically called "Greenwater," burst Into shanty existence. The titling of the town was indeed happy, since there was neither water nor green vegetation. A miserable hillside well, the owner of which got almost as much for his water as the saloonkeepers did for trucked-ln beer, was the only moisture anywhere in the neighborhood. Back to Desolation. After two years the shaft had produced only two carloads of mediocre ore and the town was abandoned to the desolation of the valley from which It htfd been claimed. Rhyolite, across the Nevada line, is perhaps the most famous "ghost city" In the country. Twenty-four years ago 10,000 people called it home. Several Impressive concrete shells are still standing--the three-story bank, the schoolhouse, and the $50,000 railroad £epot flanked : by a roadbed from "'which the tracks have been removed. The most unusual building In Rhyolite is the famous "bottle house," the walls of which are entirely constructed of bottles cemented together with adobe. The miners were efficient drinkers of "hard" beverages, so the architect of the bottl^ house was never at a loss for building material. As a matter of fact, hundreds vf miles of railroad lines have been uprooted. A stretch of over 200 miles, between Rhyolite, Beatty, Goidfield and Las Vegas, has been torn up. "Death Valley Scotty," of special train fame, bought the telegraph wires for a private phone circuit and the ties for kindling wood. 8cotty's $2,000,000 Hoife. • Tn contrast to the "ghost cities* of the old mining camps, and to the other towns like Goldfieia, which afe mere talking specters of their former selves, is the bustle of activity at Furnace Creek ranch and at "Death Valley Scotty's" luxurious hacienda In Grapevine canyon. s The $2,000,000 "ranch house" which Scotty is building and the up-to-date resort hotel at Furnsce Creek, (on which a new wing has just been added. are the only signs of activity la this region of the dead. With the dismantling of the railroad north of the valley, the only approach by rail is now from the south over the regularly established junket from Los Angeles to Death Valley Junction and Ryan. Track and equipment over this line are in excellent shape and the wonderful attractions of Death Valley as a winter resort insufe permanent maintenance.: /. New York.--Just across the way from police headquarters is the annex housing the police college, where detectives and patrolmen are trained. The college Is for veterans, as well as novices. In small groups uniformed and plain clothes igien are being taken off duty and pftt through a HawkShaw course in the annex. They are taught, for instance, the importance of examining every detail of the scene of a crime. Relics of famous crimes are kept there, not as curios but as practical examples. There is, for instance, a torn pullman ticket issued from New York to Syracuse. It was that ticket more than any t>ne thing, that convicted Judd Gray and Mrs. Snyder of the murder of Mrs. Snyder's husband. After the killing Gray was suspected, and traced to Syracuse. It was found that he had an iron-clad alibi. Evidence potated to his presence in that city at the time of the murder on Long Island. A detective wasn't satisfied. He poked here and there through Gray's room, and found many scraps of paper in a waste basket One of them "was the pullman ticket. Confronted with this evidence, Gray admitted the falsity of his alibi. But visitors may no longer go to the police annex. Outsiders have been stealing the exhibits from the Hawkshaw school!
