JILL SAID: “To be beautifully dressed—to be driving in a luxurious motor car with an adoring, attentive man—to be going out to dinner—to a play—and then home to a beautiful house—that is my idea of happiness.” KATHY SAID: “Oh, if I loved a man I should be happy, no matter where we lived and no matter how much money we had. I hate the emptiness and cold- ness in the lives of the wealthy. I could be con- tent to live always in a little back room like this, and to know that I really was loved by a good man.” ‘ Jill and Kathy were sisters who differed widely in their ideas of life. The story of these remarkable sisters is sympathetically and frankly told by Ruby Ayres in her great novel, “Winds of the World.” Read It in The Star, Beginning August 16 SEATTLE, WASH., MO Seattle AY, AUGUST 15, 1921 Is Los ing WOMAN ACCUSED OF MURDER On the Issue of Americanism There Can Be, No Compromise e Seattle Star at the Postoffice at Seattle, Wash, under the Act of Congress March 3, 1819.

HIS FIRST “INDICATION” OF INSANITY His first “indication” was his dis- covery that he couldn't get his clothes on one morning because they were full of “pins and needles.” Next, ho “threw a fit,” fellow prisoners said. Then he “failed to recognize” his mother and sister, who called to see him at the county jail.

DENIES HE CARRIED GUN “I did not carry a shotgun or a shotgun case when I came to Los Angeles, The only shotgun I own is in Chicago being repaired. The only baggage I carried was a traveling bag which is now in the possession of the sheriff.” - Obenchain rushed to the county jail to see Madalynne immediately on ar- rival late yesterday. He found the doors of the jail locked against him on orders of the district attorney.
