The vocational training school
for adults in salesmanship and re-
tail merchandising will meet again
tonight at the high school build-
ing from 7:15 p.m. to 8:16 p.m.
to complete organisation of the
classes.
The first general meeting of
the school was conducted last
night by J. R. Harley of Tyler, a
member of the state department
of education.
Because of confusion in regard
to the date of the first meeting,
many persons were not . present
who had indicated a desire to at-
tend. The second meeting tonight
will be held for the benefit of,
those persons who were unable to
attend last night.
Classes will be organised tonight
and divided according to the lines
of business each adult student rep-
resents. Schedules of meetings
will also be arranged.
Business men of the city who
intend to enroll in the classes are
urged to be present tonight for
the final organization.

ALTHOUGH there is little dan-

will make any attempt to invade
Iceland, the inhabitants of this
rocky little island, just under the
Arctic Circle, are keeping a close
watch on the European situation.
War—if it comes—may mean
life and death to many of them,
even if they never hear a gun or
see an airplane. For war will
bring blockades, cut off Iceland’s
lifeline of commerce.
Fishing is the major industry of
Iceland; cod, herring and sheep its
principal exports; Italy, Spain and
Sweden its best customers. There
is not enough fertile land to raise
food for Iceland’s 120,000 inhabit-
ants, so they must depend upon
imports. Italy trades clothing,
vegetables and wines for cod;

During the gay nineties, "soap
grease wagons" were a common
sight in Chicago. They collected
grease, bones and fats from
houses and exchanged bars of
laundry- soap for them.
Loose fielding slowed up the
game and both teams were charg-
ed with four errors. However, the
Oilers made up for part of their
faulty play by turning in three
double plays.

Iceland is peaceful. There is
no crime, no beggars, no jails.
Labor troubles are rare and there
is no unemployment. Iceland has
no army or navy, no fortifications.
Its neutrality is permanently
guaranteed.
In 1940 Iceland is to hold a spe-
cial election to determine whether
it shall continue as a monarchy
under Denmark’s king or become
wholly independent. It is ruled
today by the Althing, established
in 930, the oldest surviving Par-
liament in the world.

Plans for the 1939 Etex Scout
Caravan have been cancelled due
to insufficient enrollment, it was
announced by the local committee
'today. . .
So many Scouts who had par-
ticipated in previous Caravans
had gone on World’s Fair tours,
and also due to the opening of
new Scout Camp Tonkawa and
the many Scouts in attendance
there, the interest of the older

Mary Rossum, sister-in-law of
Aaron Rossum, the accused slay-
er who today went to trial for the
murder of his wife, Joycie, took
the stand this morning to tell the
jury of events that occurred at
her Cross Roads home on April
15, 1939, prior to the slaying.
The Rossum negress testified
that she was sitting on the side
of the bed in "the fireplace room"
and that Aaron came to the door
and shot his brother, Hubson, who
was sitting in the same room with
her. She said her husband, Oscar
Rossum scuffled with Aaron and
tried to keep him from shooting
Hubson.
Joycie then fled from the kitch-
en, she testified, and ran down
hrough-the-fteteMary-e
Aaron ran after her and fired two
shots and Joycie fell to the ground
with a bullet in her back.
The pair had been separated
three or four times, she said. At
the house at the time of the hom-
icide were Hubson,’ Joycie, Ruby
TayTr"nd‘‘th" Oscar’ Rssm.
Joycie, she said, was making bis-
cuits when her husband came to
the back door with a shotgun.
The defendant is entering a self-
defense plea and the right to de-
fend his home.
A jury was completed early this
morning and the trial was under-
way soon afterwards. Mary Ros-
sum was the first witness.

. Scout Executive Marvin J. Paul
• said.
it was, therefore, thought best,
to postpone the Caravan until
1940, rather than lower the high
> standard which has always been
set for the Etex Scout trip. The
registration fees which had been
sent in were returned to the
Scouts with the request that they
look forward to the Caravan next
year, Scout Executive Paul said.

DALLAS, Tex. (UP) — Funeral
services were planned today .for
Robert W. Sheegog, veteran Dal-
las printer who was known to
thousands of panhandlers.
Sheegog, who operated a com-
mercial printing plant here for
25 years, was known to many
“down-and-outers” as always
having a new ‘Rockefeller dime”
ready for them. He was said to
have obtained early each day five
dollars worth of dimes and kept
them ready in case of a “touch."
Sheegog died late yesterday in
a local sanitarium, following a
long illness.
Sheegog came to Dallas from
Shreveport in 1902 and established
a job printing plant. He was fond
of fine buggy horses and it was
late in the automobile era before
he relinquished his carriage. After
adopting the automobile for trans-
portation, however, he refused to
learn to operate one and always
maintained a chauffeur.
