*WOMAN SHERIFF 2 MAY SPRING TRAP Mother of Four Has Not De- | cided on Plans for Hang- ing of Slayer. By the Associated Press. OWENSBORO, Ky., July 6.—Dark- eyved Mrs. Florence Thompson, 42. mother of three sons and a daughter, as sheriff of Daviess County, may spring the trap when Rainey Bethea, 22, colored, is executed here July 31. If she does—and she hasn't yet de- eided on her “course of action"—it will be a situation unprecedented in Kentucky. Bethea recently was convicted of the June 7 assault-slaying-robbery of Mrs. Elza Edwards here, and sen- tenced to hang. Under Kentucky law a person con- vVicted of assault and sentenced to die must be executed in the county in which the crime was committed. Mrs. Thompson was appointed sheriff succeeding her husband, who died several months ago. “A few of my friends have urged me not to have a direct connection with the execution,” she said, “but I do not feel that way about it. I do not want some one else to assume my obligations. I have not definitely decided on my course of action.” The scaffold may be bullt in s garage lot which Deputy Sheriff Simon Smith said could accommodate 2,500 spectators. He estimated 7.500 per- gons might view the execution from nearby umane pomu CAR FOLDS UP IN CRASH KILLING FOUR PERSONS B the Associated Press. DE KALB, Ill, July 6—Four per- sons were crushed to death yesterday when their automobile hit a tree and folded up like an accordion. The crash reduced the length of the wheele base of the car by more than half. A wrecking crew worked 8 half hour, chaining the front of the ear to the tree and the rear bumper to a truck towing car, to pull the machine far enough into shape to permit removal of the bodies. The dead were Carl Alber, 30, nnd | J. C. Dirks, 30, of Kansas City.

Winning Contract Tricky Defense. | wise selection of seed to be phnwd Nature's Sweet BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. NLY those who have struggled to raise perfect ears of corn, know what an effort it was finally to succeed. The next time you butter an ear of luscious sweet corn, after the handicaps are hurdled, you will wonder how you can purchase corn for so little. That is the time unpreciatlon of the farmer is born. 1t is said that the first sweet corn, of record at least, was cultivated in America about 1779, in the region of Plymouth, Mass. The species was obtained from the Indians of the Susquehanna. Believe it or not, the sweet corn did not find real favor until the latter part of the nineteenth century. There is no record as to who gave it the boost it needed. Sweet corn is what is known as a garden vegetable and is at its best in the “milk stage.” Every raccoon | within walking distance of a sweet corn patch will agree with that state- | ment. The kernel is the only part | used for human consumption. It is usually cooked and served on the cob, but puddings, muffins, waffles, sautes and soup are some of the other ways in favor now. In the early days the sweet, tender kernels were dried for use during the Winter months. | Today, canning has taken the form used for keeping it. About 25 years ago canned sweet | corn became very popular. Thousands and thousands of cases of sweet corn are canned during the few short | weeks the vegetable is in its prime. It is now raised especially for great canners That found on the mar- ket is raised on a much smaller scale. The time for planting sweet corn depends upon the variety, soil and | temeprature. There first must be and decision on proper depth to plough the soil before planting and the condition of the soil at the time scheduled for actual planting. A late THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Children Corn mean rotting or weakness from too long a stay in the wet ground. Some- times a frost comes along and ruins the young shoots. There are bugs and insects sticking around to try the mettle of the farmer, There are weed foes to deal with, too. Besides, cultivation of the young plants must be done at the right stage of growth, and by one who knows how deep to stir the sofl. All of this work goes on with the hope of the right amount of sun and rain. It's a gamble, and which one wins depends on your ear of sweet corn—whether it is well filled out, sweet and tender, and the size of the ear not too large and not too small. For all this care, labor and financial investment we pay something like 7 to 10 cents an ear for the larger ones and 5 cents for the smaller ones. You can see about how much profit there is, after all the expenses of growing and marketing are added up. So, per- haps the European is right when he says, “The American has so much he soon forgets to appreciate what it costs to place commodities before him.” If you want the joy of planting your own sweet corn and the bliss of pro- ducing a platter of the delectable vegetable for your own table, don't read of the 200 species of insects that are partial to corn or the other things you may encounter. Success crowns many, in spite of the handicaps in the | il (Copyrisht. 1936.) Jolly Polly A Little Chat on English BY JOS. J. FRISCH.

After East had discarded his two small diamonds, declarer assumed that he was protecting hearts and elubs, and when declarer's queen of diamonds lost to East's king, he de- eided that East had blanked to the king rather than to the king-jack.
