HOOVER SPEECHES LAUDED BY YEAGER PractiVe of Citing Specific Instances Rather Than Generalities Is Praised. Praise for President Hoover for his practice of citing specific instances rather than generalizations in his speeches was voiced by Dr. Willard H. Yeager, professor of public speaking at | George Washington University, at a | meeting of the speakers' unit of the | Community Chest organization Friday at the Y. W. C. A. All makers of public statements should | emulate this notable example in public speaking, if speakers desire to be more | effective in their discussions of public | matters, Dr. Yeager said. He referred to one instance in which the President, in discussing the high wages obtained by the American work- ingman, cited the number of pounds of bread and butter that American wages would buy as compared with the buying power of foreign wages for posi- tions of the same class. Tell of Relief Work. Dr. Yeager was preceded on the pro- gram by addresses by E. Claude Bab- | cock, department commander of the| Disabled American Veterans of the | World War, and Harlan Wood, former | department commander of the Ameri- can Legion. | Mr. Babcock told of the work being | B done by the D, A. V. for ex-service men in Washington, stating that 52 per | cent of the disabled in Washington are unemployed and that the average com- pensation from the Government is $47 per month. He declared that his or- ganization was helping these mnen to get increased compensation, to find 1obs and, in other words, to hold their positions of self-respecting citizens. “Less than 25 per cent of the funds received from the Community Chest are dispersed to the men in actual cash,” he said. charity. They merciy want a chance to make a place for themselves, the same as their unwounded brothers do.” | He decried the sale of magazines, P' cils and other forms of “polite begging, stating that in nearly every instance such “disabled men” are found 10 be impostors. Outlines Legion’s Efforts. Mr. Wood outlined the work of -the American Legion for ex-service men, telling how the entrance (1 the Legion into the Community Chest had taken the relief work out of the hands of scattered posts and had centralized it under one head. He told of the help given in finding work for {urmer sol- diers and of help given the families of | those unable to work. . William C. Sullivan, chairman of the ‘speakers’ unit, announced that arrange- * ments have been made to supply vari- ous organizations with speakers during Armistice week. WOMAN IS HELD GUILTY In SLAYING OF HUSBAND Verdict of Second-Degree Mur- | der Against Mrs. Osborne. By the Associated Press. BATESVILLE, Ark., November 9.— A Circuit Court jury yesterday returned a verdict of second-degree murder with sentence of nine years’ imprisonment against Mrs. Norma Osborne, 22, for her part in the slaying of her husband, Maurice, 24, at their home at Cord, near here, the night of last July 1. Haggard from a vigil of 26 hours since the case was placed with the jury, Mrs. Osborne, supported by her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Matt Anderson, stood with bowed head as Judge Marcus Bone pronounced sentence. Mrs. Osborne lingered in the court- room to hear her attorneys move for a new trial on the charge of accessory to murder. After the petition was denied they announced they would appeal to| the Supreme Court. | The body of Maurice Osborne was | on the kitchen floor of theiwr |8 e with three bullet wounds and the head battered. A shotgun lay near- by, its butt splintered and bloodstained. J. P. Barber, former State athlete ! the Batesvill> High School, was sought for the slaying, but has not been cap- tured. A charge of murder in the first degree is pending against him. Barber | was an intimate friend of Osborne, and, according to testimony at the trial of Mrs. Osborne, was seen at her home a short time before the shooting. ADOPT LIQUOR PLAN. Exhibit Managers’ Measure Dis- proves Wet Convention Practices. CHICAGO, November 9 (#).—The National Exhibit Managers’ Association at its second annual convention yea- terday approved a resolution asking convention exhibitors throughout the country to “abate” what they term the “liquor nuisance.” | The resolution in part disapproves the “lavish, unwarranted and wholesale dispensing of liquor in hotel rooms and elsewhere by exhibitors and others at- tending conventions.” The resolution said the “practice is an unnecessary expense and contrary to good business ethics, and tends w discourage attendance by men who could profit by and contribute to the conventions.” Exhibit managers will submit the resolution to their respective organiza- tions for their action. Social Solidarity Is Urged. By Cable to The Star. HAVANA, November 9.—The concep- tion of social solidarity should be in- cluded in international law, as the American Institute recommended in| 1917, Luis Anderson, Costa Rican dele te to the International Law Academ: declared at yesterday's session. ernational law embraces all right of press, speech, life, liberty, happiness lng cuiture, but should include the modern conception of social solidarity or break down,” Mr. Anderson said.
