on her part, served to save his life.
After the rather dilatory author-

nineteen men and one woman, many
of w’hom had been beheaded, Lam-

acquitted. He was convicted of ar-

known of several of the murders.
So far as authorities know, Mrs.
Gunness lured the lone woman to

body in an effort to make it appear
as though she herself had teen
killed by Lamphere. o

Murder for profit is not usually associated with the peace-
ful bucolic atmosphere of a midwest farm, but such a farm
was the scene of operations for the most notorious Lady
Bluebeard in the history of the United States.
Churchill may have had a “lapse of
memory” as explained by his secre-
tary .when he referred to an agreed
boundary line for Poland as being a
part of the Atlantic Charter, when in
reality it was part of the British* Gov-
ernment’s statement of policy, made
a year before the Atlantic Charter
was drawn. He certainly did not have
any lapse of any sort however, when
he told the British House of Com-
mons not long ago that Germany
would not be vanquished in early Sum-
mer, as he had hoped, and that it
might be late in the Summer of 1945.
Recent developments on the west-
ern battle fronts indicate that Church-
ill was making at least a good guess.
The German penetration back into
Belgium, which some commentators
profess to believe was1 a sort of des-
perate last effort, a staking of every-
thing on one throw, shows conclusive-
ly that Germany has a lot of fighting
and killing power yet. Her soldiers
may not be as good as ours, but they
are KILLING A LOT OF OUR MEN
and, after all, that is what counts.
Not only Churchill but thousands
of other people have had to revise
their guesses on the end of the war
as concerns Germany, and unfortu-
nately it now looks as if there would
have to be another revision. Folks
who have been making preparation
for reconversion of industry and a re-
turn to evervday life are left without
to STOP PREDICTING about this
war. It is unpredictable. It is unlike
any war that has been fought hereto-
fort. It has too many’ angles and intri-
cacies for a guess to solve. Optimistic
predictions have served only to slow
production to lessen the buying of
War Bonds and to other things from
which we will have to get aw’ay be-
fore we really and wholly DECIDE
THAT WE ARE IN A WAR and have
NOT YET DONE NEAR ENOUGH to
BRING IT TO AN END.

CHILDRESS, Dec. 21—The war de-
partment’s precaution with the triplet
sons of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Block ap-
parently couldn’t overcome fate.
For four months after they were
shipped overseas, Boyd, Floyd and
Lloyd Brock, 19-year-old
triplets, were together. _
were separated to avoid the probabil-
ity of a repetition of the fate1 of the
Sullivans of Iowa—five sons lost in
the sinking of a warship in the Pa-
cific.
Within four days’ time last month,
all three of the Brocks became cas-
ualties—Boyd wounded in action on
Nov. 16; Floyd killed in action on Nov.
19, and Lloyd missing in action a day
later.
Before the somewhat somnolent authorities of La Porte,
Ind., realized that a, great many men had made one-way trips
to the hog farm of Belle Gunness outside the city, she had
murdered at least nineteen men and one woman, burned the
farm to the ground and escaped to live on the profits of her
crimes.
How the dumpy, unattractive*
woman .whose leathery, seamed
face topped a squat body weighing
about 210 pounds, managed to en-
tice substantial mid-western farm-
ers to their doom is told in detail
in the second of a murder series in
the December issue of Good House-
keeping magazine by Alan Hynd.
For nearly ten years Belle Gun-
ness plied her murderous trade,
preying on farm bachelors from II- dian farm hand, who had conceived
linois, Kansas, the Dakotas and
neighboring states.
She appears to have taken her
first step into the field of murder
for profit when her first husband
died under somewhat mysterious
circumstances in Chicago around
the turn of the century. With the
$8,000 which she received from an
insurance company, the not-too-be-
reaved widow settled outside La
Porte, where she profitably com-
bined the business of butchering
pigs and prospective suitors.
So far as can be ascertained, only
two men succeeded in escaping her
homicidal habits. One was a George
Anderson of Tarkio, Mo.; who, un-
like most farm workers, was a light
sleeper. This fact served to save
both his life and his savings.
“One night, while Mr. Anderson
was sleeping in the guest room—
THE EXAMINER, McKINNEY, TEXAS, DECEXETR "
THE EXAMINER cannot under-
stand why so many of our good ex-
changes are taking such a great dish
in criticizing Churchill over his con-
duct of affairs in Greece. What du
we over here know about European
affairs, anyway? And isn’t our criti-
cism of Churchill, virtually the same
as attacking our own Command er in
Chief? Where would we have been
had it not been for Churchill’s help
in keeping the boat from .rocking? He
is being criticised bitterly by his PO-
LITICAL enemies at home, which is
helping Hitler to DIVIDE AND CON-
QUER. The same critics over here
are also joining those who are “pick-
ing” at Stalin, who is helping us. The
present grave situation in Europe in
which Americans are being slaughter-
ed is caused by the desperation of
the Germans, who were losing hope
of winning1. Our soldiers were march-
ing toward victory. Hitler’s helpers
(strikers) in America and England
have been on the job from the start.
At this writing the situation on the
Western Front is becoming absolutely
ALARMING. Let’s stop “picking” at
Stalin and Churchill, who must not be
nagged into lying down on the job
while oui- boys are being murdered by
the Japs. Sometimes we feel so dis-
gusted at the idiotic conduct with
which our home front—right here in
this glorious U. S. of A. that we just
have to pop off.
LATIN IS ONE of those subjects
which the average school boy shies
away from and avoids if he can. It
is difficult enough to learn English,
he says in effect, why worry with a
tongue that has not been spoken by
the man in the street for 1,000 years
or more?
That youngsters are justified some-
what in this attitude is borne out by
the current dispute among Latin
scholars over the proper translation
of the motto on the seal of the Uni-
versity of Texas. It reads “Disciplina
Praesidium Civitas.’’
The matter was brought into the
recent senate education committee
hearings on the controversy between
the board of regents and Dr. Homw
P. Rainey, deposed president of the
university. At that time, Regent Or-
ville Bullington translated the motto
as meaning “Discipline is the founda-
tion of education,” and he contended
that discipline had been lacking at
the university under Dr. Rainey.
Faculty witnesses, however, trans-
lated the motto as meaning “A cul-
tured mind is the guardian of the
state.” Latinists in local academic
circles are inclined to agree with tho
latter translation.
Dr. Chauncey Leake, dean of the
university’s medical branch at Gal-
veston. told the Texas Philosophical
Society here the other night that the
motto means that disciplined, self-
learning, or rationally controlled in-
struction, is the foundation of the
commonwealth^. His translation is in
line with that of Regent Bullington.
Thus it would seem the average man
can take his choice. When scholars
fall out, what else is he to do?
One wag said the situation remind-
ed him of a candidate who once made
the race for public office back in his
home town of Bonham.
This gentleman, it seems, would
shout in his campaign address: “My
motto in this c’n'c.!:-’. is the same
as that on the A-ieiican dollar. You
all know that reads ‘E Pluribus
Unum.’ Now that’s Greek, and trans-
lated, means ‘In God We Trust.’ ”
a
Here is the introduc-
tion to a tale that suspends from a
story in The Times Herald last June.
The tale—and the story—serve1 to il-
lustrate how far-reaching are the rip-
ples created by a succession of writ-
ten words dropped into the sea of
printed lines.
The story was about 5-year-old
James Lowell (Bubba) Clardy of 4157
Travis Street, Dallas, whose hero was
--and is—Gene Autry, now an army
flight officer. The depending tale has
to do with Chief Machinist’s Mate
George J. Kuysfer of the Seabees,
somewhere down New Guinea way.
“Bubba” Clardy’s story was carried
in The Times-Herald Sunday, June 5,
this year. Maybe1 you read it. .
Didn’t? Well, briefly, it went this
way: At Marshall in January, 1943,
where Bubba and his parents then
lived, the boy was terribly burned—
Clothing caught from a trash fire in
the yard. For months he lay in a
Dallas hospital, enduring blood trans-
fusions, skin grafting and various oth-
er treatments without a jnurmur.
Autriana Uppermost
One evening when it seemed that
the lad couldn’t survive, he roused.
Various Autriana—meaning cartoons,
pictures, toy pistols, cowboy hats and
what not, redolent of the star of West-
ern pictures—were scattered about
his hospital bed.
“Daddy,” he called in a weak little
voice, “I want a pair of Autry boots.”
Daddy—and mother—got busy. Late
as it was, they scoured Dallas’ store
Finally they found a pair
True, they came from a
little hole in the wall on “Deep Elm,”
but they were boots and they had
stars on their tops, just like the boots
that Autry wore.
Back toi the hospital dad and mothr
er sped. The Times Herald story as
to their return goes this way: “They
went into the out-stretched arms of
the little boy, whose tired eyes glis-
tened as he grasped the prized pos-
sessions. Under his pillow then—re-
mained there through the night. A.nd
the next morning up on the iron
framework above the boy’s bed. His
little legs were supended in the har-
ness that hung from the framework
. . . where his eyes could rest upon
the boots . . . ‘Just like Gene wears
. . . and some day he’ll come and see
me.’ . . So Eubba’s thoughts ran.”
Was Turning Point
It was the turning point. From then
on Bubba improved. And the story
concludes with an account of Gene
Autry's visit to the boy. True, he
rode up in an army jeep instead of
astride Champion, his movie horse,
but hei shook hands and that was that,
just as James Lowell Clardy had so
long envisioned it.
And so to CMM George J. Kuysfer
of the Seabees, somewhere down in
New Guinea—the chief has written
Bubba a letter:
“You and your mommy and daddy
may wonder . . . but I just have tu
write you and tell you how happy I
am that you are well again. I’ve re-
ceived the Sunday Times Herald down
here . . . read the story of your fight
to win . . . the faith you have . . .
Now I know what the Lord meant
when he said, ‘And a little child shall
lead them.’
“I hope and pray’ that God . . . will
give you strength to keep your faith
throughout life.”
For Bubba, the little boy’s dad has
replied to the chief’s letter. In it
Bubba says he’ll try hard to keep
faith with the future, inspired'by the
men, “like you, who are defending the
right.”
Late in November the British Gov-
ernment Services issued a White Pa-
per, statistics Relating to the War Ef-
fort of the United Kingdom, which
was impressive enough to- refute all
who have been disposed to minimize
the contribution which our chief ally
has made in sacrifice and service, in
manpower and materiel, to the prose-
cution of the war against the common
foe. There were revelations in this
official report which for more than
five dark and desperate years had
been withheld for military security.
From these revelations the Informa-
tion Services have gleaned and* put
into a recent bulletin Fifty Facts
About Britain’s War Effort. Statis-
tics are sometimes dry. These are
eloquent. They speak with convinc-
ing power. They cover manpower,
production, shipping, cost of the war,
loss of exports and increase of im-
ports, civilian sacrifice in taxation,
effort and homes. It is a record to
shame any loose-tongued critic and to
challenge posterity.
As early as mid-1941, the record
shows NINETY-FOUR OUT OF EV-
TRY HUNDRED males in Britain, ag-
ed 16 to 64, had been MOBILIZED in
the armed services or in industry.
More than 7,000,000 of the 16,000,000
women in Britain, aged 14 to 59 were
in the services1 or in industry by mid
1944. Fifty-seven per cent of all men
in Britain aged 18 to 40, HAVE SEKV-
'ED or ARE SERVING in the armed
forces. Casualties have totaled one
out of every ten men in the first five
years of the war. More than 57,000
civilians were killed and 79,000 injured
by enemy action up to August, 1944,
the dead, including 23,757 women and
7,250 children.
Hardly less impressive are the facts
that Britain herself has produced sev-
en tenths of all the munitions and
merchant vessels used by the Brit-
ish Commonwealth and Empire since
the outbreak of the war; that one out
of every three houses in Britain has
been damaged or destroyed by enemy-
action; that in five war years the to-
tal government expenditure in Britain
has approximated $92,000,000,000; that
the standard income tax rate is 50 per
cent, and that the number of taxpay-
ers rose from 4,000,000 in 1938-39 to
13,000,000 in 1943-44. There are other
facts that .attest the all-out war effort
of Britain but the few citations should
be enough to make any fair-minded
AMERICAN think twice before he dis-
parages and discounts the British
contribution.
The Fifty Facts stand up well in
comparison with our own contribu-
tions, great though they have been
and must be. Our contribution to the
armed services, our outlay in money
and materiel, have1 been stupendous.
Our record in production has amazed
the world, and if maintained and in-
creased will insure an earlier victory.
Yet, up to this stage of the conflict,
war has not touched oui' shores and
millions of our home front have suf-
fered little deprivation. Britain has
been touched, has been hard hit. Her
people have lacked many essentials,
yet they have carried on. LET THIS
BE REMEMBERED. ’
Threatened “strike” of attendants
at Louisiana State University should
be allowed to become effective. Then
the University ought to close its
doors and let the militant youngsters
get air education elsewhere. There is
TOO MUCH EFFORT OF STUDENTS
in universities and colleges and even
schools to RUN. THE INSTITUTIONS
according to the way some of their
VOCIFEROUS, SELF-APPOINTED
LEADERS suggest. The1 way to stop
it is to SHUT UP THE INSTITUTION
until it. is settled that the FACULTY
is to make the rules, instead of the
STUDENTS making them.
The threat arose from the request-
ed resignation from the University of
■a GIRL who had PRINTED and CIR-
CULATED a leaflet which defended
girls kissing men1 goodnight after be-
ing out with them, and was worded
so that the University president be-
lieved it was NOT FOR THE BEST
INTERESTS OF MORALITY to have
it circulated among the students. In
protest to what she called her FORC-
ED resignation the students proposed
a “strike” until she be REINSTATED.
Demonstrations at Texas University
over tile Rainey-Regents episode were
of the SAME CHARACTER. Repre-
sentative Wintree of Houston, veteran
member of Texas Legislature, put his
finger on the spot when he said. “I
have NO SYMPATHY WITH THESE
STUDENT DEMONSTRATIONS. I.
think students are supposed to. go to
school and try to LEARN and benefit
themselves, and I do not think they
have ANY BUSINESS trying to run
the schools they attend. When I was
a boy we TOOK INSTRUCTIONS
from our teachers and we LET1 THE’
SCHOOL TRUSTEES RUN THE IN-
STITUTION that we were fortunate
enough to attend.”
Mr. Winfree is RIGHT. There
should be no argument about it. Eith-
er the schools and colleges are to be
under the TRUSTEES and FACUL-
TIES, and do what they were IN-
TENDED TO DO, or they are to be

Editor Dallas News:
In your recent editorial, Femina
Suprema Est (ridicule), you answered
your own questions with typical mas-
culine conjectures. Have you inter-
viewed any of those girls, drinking
in the taverns to prove mothers re-
miss, or to see if they are only pro-
ducts of your man-made world' gone
berserk? Passing the buck to woman
started in Eden, and while the tech-
nique has improved, the transparen-
cy remains.
Granting that domestic life is the
proper sphere of woman, is it impos-
sible to unite an interest in your world
with attention to home? The average
man does not neglect his business or
job for politics, yet he has been the
law-maker. Prior to woman suffrage
(which man withheld as long as pos-
sible) those excluded were minors,
idiots, lunatics, criminals and women.
Our own mothers in this category!
I can remember when a suffragette
was considered a crackpot.
Our emancipation is so recent that,
some of us still fail to grasp its poten-
tialities, but youth learns rapidly and
we are over the crawling stage. The
consequences of jvoman’s subordina-
tion for centuries are1 not surprising.
Too long we’ve had to resort to
schemes and artifices to uphold our
rights, but this shameful necessity
was born of subservience and inequal-
ity. Now we need only a little more
time, education and organization. The
Great American seraglio has gone
with the winds of antiquity, and you
men may feel a great sympathy for
Dr. Frankenstein ere long.
This war has been a galvanizing
shock, a literal eye-opener for the
American women. You men are not
-so smart, after all. You may have
kept us acquiescent in the past with
your subtle salves and the hand that
rocks the cradle philosophy, but no
more. The frau may remain credu-
lous, but Mrs. Columbia wearies of
farewells to her sons, given with set,
idiotic smiles while her soul shrivels
within her.
Ask thousands, millions, of women
what they want of government, and
it will be peace—a concrete, lasting
peace with freedom from fear. We
have proved we can stand the1 want,
but not the fear. Mothers are primi-
tive creatures, and of the Four Free-
doms this is most important to us.
I am just an average housewife1, no
degrees; but the average man’s equal
in literacy. Heretofore, 1 have had
too little interest in politics and world
affairs, and you will find my counter-
part in most American homes, but
we are awake at last. We now have
rhe stimulus to act, the knowledge
that our opinions form a great part
of the legislative power of our coun-
try. We still believe in the system,
but seriously contemplate a transfu-
sion of feminine plasma. We shall
be content to sit by those firesides
you mentioned, only if they are made
Give us this security or
shall do some serious encroaching
your preserves.

IT IS just one thing, if not several,
after another, these progressive days.
We no more than get ready to: enjoy
life a bit, than some heartbreaking
world wide tragedy takes place. But
in case we have been spared for a
while, the same old troubles begin
anew—something like the itch. Well,
we started to tell you that the Dallas
office of the U. S. Revenue depart-
ment under the able management of
W. A. Thomas, has begun that san
duty of mailing out income tax forms
to about 65,000 farmers in the Dallas
area.
If you are a farmer, don’t get un-
easy. You will get one all right, as
the income tax forms have been made
available to all taxpayers earlier this
year than ever before. Usually the
forms go out after Jan. 1, and this
year final payments on some incomes
already are being made.
The forms being sent to farmers
are 1040-F wlhich are to be attached
to the regular form, 1040. The form
to be used by farmers is especially
prepared to allow them to show such
sources of income as sale of livestock
and produce, and their income such
as machine work, hiring of teams,
breeding fees, rent crop shares, work
off the farms, wood and lumber sales
and agricultural program payments.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9—A move to
get more money for congressmen is
gathering force in the house.
Leaders of the drive, predicting
SPEEDY SUCCESS said increased
funds are needed to keep up with the1
cost of living and with the boom of
wartime mail and extra duties.
Accordingly, two plans are in mo-
tion:
(1) To boost the salary’ of repre-
sentatives and senators from $10,000
to $12,500 yearly.
(2) To increase the clerk hire al-
lowance of representatives from
G.500 to $9,500 annually.
Attempts to include both propos-
als in a deficiency appropriations bill
were defeated yesterday on grounds
that they were out of order in such
a measure.
