OUT OF MISERY
Question Do Special Circum
stances Warrant Tak
ing of Life
AGAIN BEEN REVIVED
Reverend William Bettison
is Shot by Sister as he
Dying in Agony
LEICESTER, Eng., Apr. S—Do spe
cial circumstances ever warrant tak
ing human life? This question is
again revived with another case of
this type, reported from the Hunger
ton vicarage, where Rev. William
Bettison was found in his study re
cently shot in the head, with a rifle
beside him. His sister sent for a
doctor and then returned to her bro
ther’s side, refusing to permit any
one else to enter the room. A lit
tle later another shot was heard
in the study. Miss Bettison came
out and said: "I asked him if he
would live, but as he didn’t reply
I saw that he was dying in agony
so I shot him to put him out of his
pains." She was arrested.
FRENCH WRITER TELLS
OF ALASKA IN VOLUME
"Alaska—The Continent of the Fu
ture,” is the title of a new book in the
French language just published in
Paris and written by Monsieur Louis
Vallot-Duval, Pessac, Landes, France.
The 33 chapters of the volume were
originally published in the French
monthly, “Sciences et Voyages,” an
equivalent of our own National Ceo
graphic Magazine. Resources, possi
bilities and scenic attractions of Alas
ka are described clearly and con
cisely and the volume is generously
illustrated. Some of the photographs
were made by Major John D. Guthrie
of the United States Forest Service,
who was in Alaska in 1920 and who
is a friend of the author.
Monsieur Vallot-Duval was for
many years a resident of America
and made three trips to Alaska. The
information he accumulated on what
he calls “The Continent of the Fu
ture,” is both current and correct.
His range of subject material is am
ple. dwelling on forest and game re
sources. Eskimaux customs, gold
seekers, mines, glaciers and a host
of other topics.

CHEQUES ARE
CASHED STATES
MONTREAL. April 9.—Forged Can
adian Pacific railway traveler’s checks
to the extent of approximately $500,
000 have been cashed recently in the
United States.
Banking institutions during the last
few days have received hundreds of
these cheques passed on American
firms and forwarded here for honor
ing.
It was pointed out at the headquar
ters of the Canadian Pacific here that
the company does not issue traveler’s
checks and never did. Therefore, the
checks must be forgeries, the officials
said.
Another good way to cultivate the
virtue of patience is to lend a friend
ten dollars.

thinks when he reads that officers
have destroyed hundreds of gallons.
“Germany has war plans.” The
very idea! And all the other nations

KENNECOTT SCHOOL SONG
The Kennecott school has acquired
a beautiful black walnut mineral cab
inet. The mineral display contained
there, together with the fact that
the school is located near one of the
world's richest copper mines, has re
sulted in the writing of a school
song, which is sung with great ar
dor by the pupils of the school. A
stanza of the song follows:
“The beauty of thy copper ore.
Kennecott, my Kennecott,
Is such thy children must adore,
Kennecott, my Kennecott,
The wondrous sheen of covellite;
[The sunset glow of cuprite;
Plus azurite and Malachite;
Kennecott, my Kennecott.”
No man ever is too busy to listen
to the caller who comes to praise.

WIDOWED MOTHERS PLAN
—CRISIS NOT PASSED
WEST FRANKFORT, 111., Apr. 9.—
(AP).—The work of the American Red
Cross in rehabilitation in the entire
tornado disaster area in five states
will begin at once, according to Hen
1 ry M. Baker, national director of dis
aster relief, here. It will include re
placing and refurnishing homes, cloth
ing and all necessities of victims, but
will not attempt to replace deficits in i
investment losses, which he called bus
iness rehabilitation.
i
The need of the victim and not his I
loss will guide attempts to re-estab
lish him on as nearly a pre-disaster
basis as funds will permit, said Ba
ker. A careful survey will be made
by trained workers to ascertain the
needs of the storm sufferers and the j
Red Cross then will attempt to make
up the deficit so far as funds are
available.
Vocational training and trust fund
assistance in cases where a mother
or children were left without support
are provided for in the rehabilitation
plan.
The emergency period probably
will continue for ten days. Baker
said. He declared that in all the
Red Cross disaster work he had nev

tion and suffering nor a disaster that
embraced such a wide range of terri
tory.
A warning that relief work had re
lapsed in some communities and that
the second crisis existed, was sounded
by Dr. W. T. MacVey, in an address
before the Carbondale, 111., Rotary
Club. The first crisis passed, he said,
persons outside the devastated area
failed to realize the tremendous work
necessary.
Although relief work is well organ
ized in Murphysboro, he said, .condi
tions are serious elsewhere in the dis
trict. Dr. MacVey said that the Car
bondale relief organization was living
from “hand to mouth,” with the prob
lem of feeding 4,000 homeless for
weeks and providing shelter for hund
reds for months.
The total deaths of the live states
of the storm area today stood at
S27, with the addition of thirteen to
the Murphysboro total and one at Mc
Leansboro. Thirteen Murphysboro ne
gresses, taken to Cairo and buried
there, were not included in the former
check.
