She'd never, to his know- ledge, ever mentioned any such name. There was a painful silence. Ern- est Crowther in the box looked un- ihappier and more uneasy than ever. !The prisoner twiddled his cap with renewed energy. sporadic little bursts of whispering began to be hoard; feet began to shuffle. Col. Evesham screwed his monocle on a shade •tighter and surveyed the gathering. not bought any sweets at Martin's you know—the big strop in Bright - mouth ?" "No sir," said the witness empha- tically. "If she got sweets at Mar- tin's she'd have known she wasn't pleasing her mother." "And she'd be likely to go and eat so as not to let her herself them Y mother know she'd been disobeying her?" "That's quite correct, sir." "Excuse me"—it was the Chair- men who now interposed. He felt that the way was being cleared for hire. "There's one thing that occurs to me to ask the witness—had Mrs. Crow- ther, then, definitely forbidden Mol- lie, for instance to accept sweets from strangers, whoever they were?" "Quite correct, sir." Mrs. Brack:ey-Hargreaves leaned forward in her turn. Now that some- one on the Bench had contrived to start a hare, all its members were anxious to have a phance at chasing it. To Return Ransom; Officials Await His Word Where To Send Money TRENTON, N.J.,--Attorney general David T. Wilentz said recently $14,- 800 of the Lindbergh ransom billsre- covered with Bruno Rioliard Itnupt menu's arrest would be returned shortly to Col. Charles A, Lindbergh. Wilentz said the decision to return the mouey to Lindbergh was made recently at 'a conference, in New York attended by J. Edgar }hoover, chief of the federal bureau of in- vestigation; New, York police officials, Co], H. Norman Schwartzkopf, state police . superintendent and himself. The money is now in a safe deposit box in` a Trenton. bank, Word was awaited from Colonel Liindbergb,, Wi1- entz said as to the disposal of the money. And then the voice of Jack Shaw broke the uncomfortable silence. "If I have your permission, Mr. Chairman, there are one or two questions I should like • to ask the questions I should like to ask the witness." "I'd like to ask the witness if he knew she lead the sweets that were Sound on her --and where she got them." Sergeant Perkins held up a plate on which were spread a few pink and white sugary cubes. "Here — your Worships—are only some of the sweets we fount] in the bag. After what the Doctor said 1 forwarded a lot of them to Bright - mouth to be sent to the analyst." Colonel Frost nodded pontifically, "You acted quite rightly, ser- ,geant." It was quite a safe remark to ,snake and he leaned back its his !chair and looked much relieved. He !had managed to get in a remark. Ernest Crowther looked up. "No sir. I don't know where she got then!. }}It was one of the things her mother !was always rather careful about. Her ?mother bad told Mrs. .Pitch, what keeps the sweet shop ----what she might have and what she mightn't. And I've never seen her with any dike these here before." He pointed towards the exhibit on the Sergeant's !table.

Ernest Crowther looked up, more puzzled than 'ever. He couldn't see what was the use of all these ques- tions in trying to probe the mystery of his daughter's death. He remain- ed silent for a few moments. Wilentz, Schwartzkopf and An- thony M. Hauck, Jr„ Ilunterdon County prosecutor. denied reports the Lindbergh kidnep-murder case tiles had . been removed from state police headquarters. • Governor Harold G. `Hoffman's fait= are to renominate Schwartzkopf, led to reports that thus 'he hopedto gain access to all the Lindbergh files, and that to balk Schwartzkopf would re- move them to the Hunterdon County prosecutor's office before expiration of his term Sunday. Asked about reports that the files would be removed, Wilentz replied: "Where did that report start?" Nothing has been moved and nothing is going to be moved." "There's absolutely nothing to it" said Schwartzkopf. "They are Hunterdon County re- cords, State of New Jersey records,". Hauck said, "and I expect sometime to make arrangements in court to re- turn them to Hunterdon County. How- ever, I have made no attempt to move them yet." Hauck said the records were mov- ed to the Trenton headquarters of the state police to give the governor and others interested in the case ac- cess to thein. "Why, yes—now I come to think of it. There was trouble. I came in from a job — at dinner time one day —and found Mollie crying. I asked her what was the matter. She said she'd brought out some sweets to eat, and her mother said—" "I'rn sorry, Crowther -you must- n't tell us what Mrs. Crowther said. if it's necessary, she can go into the boX and tell us herself." The poor man was quite put out again by the cleric's remonstrance. He didn't know how to go on. "It's all right, Crowther," broke in the Chief Constable, quickly, anxious' not to let the witness get right out of his stride again. "Just tell us what Mollie told you. That will be quite all right." Reassured, the witness went on to tell the court that Mollie had told him that her mother Itad been very angry at her orders being disobey- ed. Mollie had told her father that she hacl accepted the sweets from a Doctor Hawkes, who lived at Brightmouth. --- CHAPTER XIII WHO IS HAWKES? The evidence caused a sensation in the little court. Always the name of -the sinister Dr. Hawkes, who had elusive, phantom -like, already come into this case—the mysterious fig- ure who had played some part in the other strange case which was still exercising the minds of police and public—the murder of Signor Parelli at the Queen's Hall. Mollie's father had pressed the child to tell hint more. But she had only cried, and he had not had the heart to press the matter further. Yet he had felt, from her manner, that the child was keeping some- thing back, The incident had'hap- pened about two months ago, and no further reference bad been made to it. And that was really about all the father had been able to tell the court. His wife was called to the witness box and corroborated what her hus- band had said. Jack Barnes was next called, He was a young laborer employed at a farm close to the village. On the Saturday evening, as he passed the end of the lane by the forge, on his way to the Crown and Cushion, he had seen the prisoner come out of some bushes which lined and partly obscured a ditch from the main road. Saxby was very much apset. He said that he'd found Mollie Crowther lying face downwards in the flitch—groaning with pain. The witness had gone with him at once to the spot and found the girl lying there as the prisoner had described. They feared that she was already dead, and it was Tom Saxby him- self who had suggested going for Constable Jones. Witness had vol- unteered to go himself, and had met the policeman only a few yards away. (To be Continued) a• Milk Supplies Are Increased By Cow Contests—Efficiency Is Also Given Credit By Austrians VIENNA, — Austria, not long ago was dependant on foreign supplies of milk and other dairy products. Now hundreds of suug little dairy shops' the cities, and thousands of workers' families obtain "relief -milk" from the country's own dairying surplus, and at a charge of only five cents a liter. Explanations of the increased pro- duction and home consumption have included references to improved dairy- ing methods, efficient pooling and dis- tribution, foreign tariffs checking ex- ports, slump prices on world markets and "Drink More Milk" propaganda. In addition, however, a quiet contest between cows has been increasing production to such an extent that Aus- tria's "milky way" is running over. Summa Schachtel (i.e. Box) and Bella were the leaders and legions of nameless cows have followed suit With 13,543 kilos of milk, Summa set up a world record in 1932 and has been holding the Austrian title to this day, as far as quantity goes• But Box has proved the daugerous•' runner-up by winning the 1933 world, championship for quality. This means her 9,328 annual kilograms of milia was rich enough to yield 624 kilos of butter, as against 623 kilos churned out of Summa's production, Then there is Bella, the third ace. She was bred by the former President of Aus- tria, Mr. Michael Hainisch, and pro- duced about 100,000 liters of milk dur- ing her career.

It is done differently in different countries. A Swedish bride and groom far example, ride on horse -back from the village church to their new home. They are preceded by a fiddler and cheered by the townfolk. In Yugoslavia the bride and groom halt before the door of their new home to scatter seeds to the wind. This is supposed to bless their union with many happy healthy off -spring. At a Bavarian wedding the burgo- master of the village gives the key to the bride after the wedding as a sym- bol of her new status as haustrau. A Breton bride and groom go to the marriage supper that lasts all night, the bride in her traditional peasant costume, cap and apron. In Italy, the ceremony is performed usually at high mass with all the pomp and ceremony of the Catholic Church. On this side of the Atlantic in America the custom of the groom kissing the bride is one that does not exist abroad in other marriage cere- monies. The Rural Schools PARIS — Yvon Delbos, Vice - Premier and Minister of Justice, has announced creation of a superior council of criminal phophylaxy to study crime prevention by psycho- logical treatment of mentally defi- cient or hereditary criminals. The project to be studied includes isolation of such criminals to prevent marriage and reproduction. There are no provisions in the plans for compulsory sterilization as in Ger- many, "The war against crime in France hitherto has been on the basis of punishing crimes or misdemeanors, but statistics show this in unsuccess- ful in crime prevention and as a re- sult crime remains one of the scourges of modern civilization,' Delbos said. "There are 600 murders or at- tempts to murder and 40,000 cases of assault and battery in France an- nually. "Much of this crime is due to the impossibility of delinquents to adopt themselves to the social state. This impossibility is directly traceable to physiological or mentalblemishes or perversions. Such cases might be corrected if treated in time or if the person were subjected to corrective education." The council's researches will be conducted in the psychiatric annexes of the famed Sante Prison for men, the Petite Roquette for women and the Wrestles Prison for children. Writes the Brockville Recorder and Times: "Upon the broad question of whether or not pupils of rural schools should enjoy the privileges already possessed by most of the pupils of urban schools in the province, there can be little disagreement. The boys and girls belonging to country dist- ricts are entitled, we feel, to just as much consideration in this respect as the boys and girls attending town or city schools, They have just as much right, for instance, to supervi- sion of their health by means of exam- ination and inspection as the boys and girls in attendance at schools in larger centres, and they ,also have just as much right to enjoy a brighter Curriculum such as that which is al- ready in force in most urban com- munities. But this object can scarcely be atttained without alteration in the present unit of administration or with- out some amalgamation amongst. the smaller schools.

The eels, it now seems, are not easily trapped, and it is because they swarm over too wide an area. Isn't there some way of herd- ing them into a channel so that they will swim straight and true for the traps? The Fisheries Experimental Station at Alresford thinks it has answered the question with electric- ity. What the station did was to exper- iment on a laboratory scale with an electrical barrage. Merely by electri- fying the water where the eels were not to swim it became possible to switch them to the traps — .at least in a large wooden tank. Now full-scale experiments are to be carried out in an Irish river. • , .
