In the same city there also lived a young married woman, who couldn't quite seem to get along smoothly with her husband. The young woman and the middle-aged man became acquainted. Just what happened is not clear; a letter written by the young woman intimates that the man forced his attentions on her. At any rate, she brooded over it, and the fact that she did not feel able to confide in her husband made matters worse. So, one evening, she took a revolver, went to the man’s house, rang his bell, and shot him to death when he at home with her husband, going about her daily tasks as though nothing had happened. Then her husband found So she got into their auto with him to drive to the jail. En route he asked her, over and over, why she did such a thing; and she would only repeat, “I don't know why I did it.” She asked him what he thought would happen to her, and he replied that she probably would be sent to the electric chair. As they drew near the jail he remarked, “Well, it won't be long now.” Whereupon she drew out her revolver and shot herself to death. From this bare outline of the facts, the whole thing is followed, a little later, by an equally unexpected suicide. Why is all of this worth re-telling at this length? Simply because it demonstrates, once more, a truth that we are apt to forget; that misery and loneliness and mis- understanding can twist the human soul out of logical, common-sense paths and make it burst out in strange, de- structive explosions. You never know what may be fermenting in the breast of a casual acquaintance. Sympathy and forbearance often are marvelous medicines in such cases; but when they fail—when the outburst comes—the only thing left is charity. We can at least deny ourselves the luxury of condemning another person for doing something that we cannot understand. PROSPERITY IN INSURANCE Life insurance is many things that are good. Evangel- ist Ham elevated it’to a place beside religion in a recent sermon here and showed by analogy of the Bible that it was practised long ago and as a text of the prophet that it has the sanction of Biblical authority, in addition to the example of Joseph “insuring” Egypt against starva- tion in the great famine along the Nile. world. It was predicted that, by the fall of 1929, the total of American life insurance will aggregate the staggering amount of $100,000,000,000 This after 87 years of exist- ence of American life insurance. At present the total in- vested in life policies is estimated at $95,000,000,000, a net increase for the year, of $8,000,000,000. It is hard to think normally in such tremendous fig- ures as these, but that they demonstrate prosperity in the nation is not a conclusion confused by their vastness. One insurance chief commented that the figures were evidence of the immense resiliency of the purchasing Power of the American people when one considers the vast volume of consumption of automobiles, silk hose, cosmetics, chewing gum and other products not essen- tially necessities. The 1928 total of life insurance was nine times that purchased in 1901. There are 65,000,000 policyholders.

Before the affair ended 200 policemen had laid siege to the place, nine of them had been wounded and the bar- ricaded negro youth had been shot to death. And all for | a broken window! | The exact moral of this little tale is a bit obscure. When 200 policemen are called out for a four-hour gun battle, in which a 17-year-old boy is killed and nine officers are wounded, because of a broken restaurant window; when all of this happens in a city where gang murders are fines, where beer-runners, gambling kings, vice lords and such like gentry seem able to go unmolested from year to HIS HOURS OF HORROR A 19-year-old college boy had been an admirer of a Michigan school-teacher. The teacher was found clubbed to death on a lonely road, and the boy was held on sus- Picion. For hours the police tried to wring a confession from him. They made him stand beside the young woman's corpse and look on her wounds as they questioned him. They made him hold her lifeless hand while they kept asking him, “Why did you do it?” admitted the murder! ‘Who now is going to repay this innocent college lad | for the hours of horror that the police inflicted on him? | Editorial Comment | AN END OF PRIVACY They turned out all | ; BARBS habitual golfers these days to write Broadway stage hits. aid to peace.
