Abe Lincoln's Death Suit?
AJ Newsfeaiures—
GREENSBORO, N.C., (dP) — A
suit is tucked away in a bank
vault here. The owners believe it
is the one worn by President Lin
coln the night he was shot to
death by Actor John Wilkes Booth
in Ford’s Theater at Washington.
The owners, the J. Marvin
Smith family, once turned down
a $20,000 offer from P.T. Barnum,
the late circus man. They didn’t
approve of his plans to commer
cialize on the Civil War Presi
dent’s agony.
How did the suit come into the
Smiths’ possession? The Presi
dent’s wife gave it to Alphonse
Donn, Lincoln’s bodyguard and
the grandfather of Mrs. Smith.
The family has letters from Mrs.
Lincoln to Donn calling the body
guard one of the President’s most
trusted friends and referring to
her gift of the suit

Duke of Windsor Enroute
To Fourth Funeral In His
Life for British Monarchs
NEW YORK. </P)—1The Duke of
Windsor has sailed for England
to attend funeral services for the
man to whom he gave Britain’s
throne—his brother, George VI.
He was traveling aboard the
liner Queen Mary, due at South
ampton next Wednesday. His wife
stayed behind in New York.
“This voyage,” he said, “is in
deed sad—and it is all the sadder
for me because I am undertaking
it alone.”
Beside him stood his duchess—
the American for whom he abdi
cated his throne.
“This will be the fourth time
that I have participated in the ob
sequies of a British monarch,” the
former king said.
“Fifty-one years ago it was my
great grandmother, Queen Vic
toria; then nine years later my
grandfather. Edward VII; and in
1936 my father, George V. Now,
by God’s will, it is my brother’s
turn to lie in state in the great
hall at Westminster and even
tually -to join his forebearers at
Windsor.”
NO CHANCE FOR ERROR
NEW YORK, (/F)—L. W. Chur
chill, farmer near Westmoreland,
N.H., hunters report, made doubly
sure this season that his cows
would not be mistaken for a deer
or some other wild animal. He
painted “COW” in large letters
in large letters on their sides.
SOUTH AMERICAN THEME
SUNDAY SERVICES OF
THE METHODIST CHURCH
Before leaving Nome, Miss
Eileen Uttech, program chairman
of the Women’s Society of the
Community Methodist Church,
set up initial plans for a study
session on South America. That
early planning has made possible
almost a visit to South America
for anyone who attends the next
three Sunday Evening services.
Various persons have been chosen
under the sponsorship of the
Woman’s Society with the coop
eration of the Sunday School and
Church to present the history, re
ligion, and present growth of our
neighbor America.
THE WORLD INSIDE TEXAS
DALLAS, (/P)— Can you tour
the world and never leave Texas?
If you want to see America'*
first, you can visit New York,
population 20, eat baked beans in
Boston, see the sights in Wash
ington and visit Miami and At
lanta.
Going abroad you can travel in
Ireland, Italy, Normandy, and
Tunis. You can waltz in Vienna,
population 30, dine on French
pastry in Paris, swing east to
Tokio and finally visit Moscow.
All are Texas towns.
Black or dark skin acts as a
trap for the sun’s rays, catching
the incoming heat at the surface,
thus preventing its penetration
to deeper body tissues where it
might cause damage.
