didn't know any such person him-
self, He couldn't say if his daughter
did or not. 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

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

"Was there ever any trouble about
this? Did Mollie ever have any argu-
ment with her mother about accept-
ing sweets from strangers?"
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.

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.

Marriage Ceremony
"Do you take this woman?"
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.

Shocked Eels
Water Electrified, Drives Fish
Into Traps in Ireland
The government of Northern Ire-
land is concerned about the eels that
writhe in its,watera. 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. • , .
