Godwin, whom she released from her father’s ^ail. Lula Belle faced the court today, and the proceedings amplified the mournful story of her first romance, Bhe’s a big. husky iilJti} hundred and seventy-five, pound girl, and her father today told how she could handle women prisoners like sacks of potatoes, Lula Belle was that strong. Her hefty strength was not so apt to make the boys »i&ib - not dike the fragile wiles of the cling in* vine* bo it was. fi^st romance for Lula Bella, when soft words were spoken to her by the young prisoner in her father’s jiill - RobWr James Godwin, le told her he had got religion, and would be a good boy ever afterward. an<f he might be put to death In. the lethal gas chamber.

But - tonight Lula Belle is out on ball,, and sadly thinking about her first romance* That's a low spot for any girl, but the spot is still lower for Bandit Goodwin. The police in the trail of .him and his companion, caught the companion first. And he told where Goodwin was, hidden in a barn. So they surrounded the barn today, and this tine Good'win couldn't talk his way out, couldn't say he had got riliglon and was going to be a good boy. Couldn't whisper sweet romance to the sheriff and the deputies. Wo blonde, one hundred and seventy-five pound piXUE Lula Belle wasn't there. This time instead of sweet nothings it was a lot of gunfire. Goodwin shouted - "I'll kill anyone who tries to take mel" Whereupon when the shooting began. And it ended nttm Goodwin was hit in the face by the charge of a shotgun. His whole phyiognomy peppered with small shot! No serious injury, though most painful. More painful still forhlm, the authorities charge that it was he 'who did the killing that climaxed the crime wave which Lula Belle released drom her father's jail. So now the lethal Gas chamber does come into the story Chicago, the windy city, lived up to its windy name again today - with a blast from the north blowing down over the baseball ga.^.e at V pigley Field. It was chilly too, with a frosty nip in the breeze. luce more the blustery gale played a part in the game, blowing, fly balls before it, compelling the fielders to reckon with the power of air as well as the dynamics of ball and bat. of storm, tempest and hurricane. For seven iryiings Dizzy Dean held tne Yana«e tempest down to a whispering zephyr . The Dizzy one. wild acclaim from the Chicago crowd, even after catastrophe had befallen him. In *he eighth inning, he seemed to have his game won. Ail you have to do is look at the Yankee home-run list for the pennant season, and all is explained. They're likely to break loose with four^ba^Jers at any time. So, with Dizzy Dean SQsuLXhXmsxfcaxfc* seeming to be unbeatable, Frank Cross til hi'! a homer wil-h a man ahead of him. And then in the next inning, the ninth, up came And the tale of the diamond tod-y can be stated in terms with plenty heart and not too much on the ball, drew. but then came the hurricane in the shape of * YanKee ho^e-ruilj* Joe diMaggio, with one men on.

Before the home-run hurricane hit, the score was three to two, in favor of the Cubs. After the four-baffier tempest was three over, the score was six to^H^p^ln favor of the Yanks - and so it w*n> * **»■» ended. Now the »orld Series drifts eastward to New York - leaving Chicago, the exceedingly windy city hearing sighs of grief. apHMH FOREIGN Primt Minister Chamberlain got his vote of confidence today, three hundred and sixty-six to a hundred and forty-four, 'insfc*#5 ig vy j r - ‘ S , but^ normal. It simply represents the predominance of the Conservative Party in the Commons, On previous questions during the past months, the parliamentary vote for the i vemnent has been Jsnrt about ^ same, So the Prime Ifioistei was supported on strictly party lines, his party for him, the opposition against hits. The signifiance of it v i 1 * - back to suj positions^ thi.t a considtrable^tcti«*» ^r;e Comervatives . ere bit terly hostile to the pact of peace that Chamberl i in brought ho®* nd vould^vote* against him. They did nothing of the sort - no considerable ^ctlon. Neville Chamberlain today gave a downright answer to a question that has been asked a good deal. Who was it that framed the terms of the Czechoslovak settlement? rid Hitler draw up his ->*n design, showing how much he wanted, ,^ • it to the others? Today's Chanlerl in answer was couched in these .ids: "The documents," said he. "was not prepared by Herr Hitler, but by the humble individual who now addresses the House." That makes FOREIGN - 2 it definite - it was the Prime Minister of Great Britain who drew up the terms by which Sndetenland is handed to Hitler, Tnere1 s a good deal of confusion and vagueness -faiB-Tvangcrfanr about now much Hitlerfaking — as he parades triumphantly through i.hJ8r.Rwaticx Sudetenland. An international commission is considering the boundaries of the areas to be given to Germany, and it is reported that this commission is allowing Hitler to have more than was promised in the Munich agreement, /rhe whole / ( thing concerns three different sets of terms. One.■*■» the agreement that Chamberlain and Hitler made during their first meeting at Berchtesgaden. The second^ £ 15 ; the set of greatly increased demands that Hitler presented when he met Chamberlain for the second time - at Godesberg. The third.^ the final arrangement, the compromise 1 at Munich, which was in between the Berchtesgaden and the Godesberg agreements. So now the^ sa^j^tJiat Hitler is getting more than the \ final Munich agreement provided for^though somewhat less, perhaps, than his maximum Godesberg deman1. However you figure it, Czechoslovakia is getting none the best of it. And today we hear of signs of further partitioning - FORLIC-N - 3 v.ith Roland and Hungary agreeing on a new demand to be handed to Prague.t has been reported that Poland and Hungary'were out to get a section of Czechoslovak territory that lies between their own I respective boundariesJ ftf^l^ant^to link their two nations up. bringing k» the boundaries together. They say they desire this to create a barrier against Soviet Russia on the east. Maybe the scheme is to fortify the strip to stop the Red army, if it should ever decide to push to the west. \ / ' / All of this has been in the rumor state, but today it is affirmed by the ^arsaw report, that Poland and Hungary have formally agreed to make the demand - slice up Czechoslovakia still some more From th^t kicked around and much bedeviled country itself, we have news that still further indicates the disappearance of the Czechoslovak state as any kind of a national power.^The Czech government today said to the Slovaks — T1Yes, you can have autonomy*n The Slovaks are kin to the Czechs — both people are Slavs. But the Slovaks have long been impatient of the rule the Czechs maintained over themJ have indignantthat the Czechs and Slovaks should be equal in Czechoslovakia. And now Prague, in the hour of its defeat, yields and grants autonomy. The Slovaks^***# to have their own parliament and governing cabinet. ——-— remain part of the Czechoslovak state, with at complete self-government ITALX The report Is more insistent than ever today that Great Britain, trance and Italy are about to patch up their differences - over Spain and Ethiopia, subject for discussion before the meeting of the Fascist Grand Council in Rome this evening. That suprame governing body, which is of course goverened by Mussolini, is taking up another pertinent question — Fascist restrictions upon the Jewish people. And this brings in an American angle. The Grand Council is debating the intervention of the United States in behalf of American Jews in Italy. Washington demands that their rights shall be respected. There are only two hundred American jews in the land of the Caesars, but their case is important enough to have drawn a warning from American Ambassador Phillips. He told the Fascists that the status of Italian citizens living in the United States might be jeopardized If the rights of American Jews living in Itaxy were Infringed. PALESTINE savage battle was fought today in Palestine, British against band of arabs. The dispatch tells of British war planes, maching/gunning the desert fighters. Casualties the numbering sixty are reported among the Arabs, and band of insurrectos was driven away into the desert. i ICK_-A• PA«.,-K Reinesibar that pick-a-back plane which flew over here from England - a feature of the trans-Atlantic season?

GUEST - 2 Wo ;i&d to change motors - put in brand new ones - four times, and in the most outlandish placas, Lowell.. At Karachi, India, we made one of those changes in twenty-four hours, and£ patted ourselves on the back for quick work. L.T.t- And it took Howard Hughes only three times that long to fly around the world l How long did it takeyou that time in French Indo-China, when you came down in the jungle, Les? L.A.: It took us a litter longer, there. Gur plane, the Chicago, had motor trouble, and Lowell Smith and I landed in a tropical lagoon. A new motor was carted to us through the jungle, and we installed it out there inthe midst of tropical forest. It took us seventy-two hours. L.T.: How long does it take you to make a motor change today on your Pennsylvania Central Airlines? L.A.: Forty-five minutes, Lowell.

VIOLIN At- San Francisco, a seventy-ona year old man on relief had a treasure ox seven thousand dollars stolen from him. Sounds like another one oi those relief stories - somebody with money taking government help. But this time there's a twister. The seventy-one year old man is a musician, and the treasure stolen a Stradivarius violin, valued by collectors at seven thousand dollars. The old musician says the Strad has been in his family for two hundred and thirty-eight years. "Even if I am poor, I wouldn't sell my violin," said he today. An old musician and his fiddle, government relief helping him to keep it - andjnow the Stad Sc* stolenl A GUM AnQ I will try to keep my jaws still, not with eagerness to talk, but with eagerness to chew. Eighty-six million pounds - that’s something to make the whole nation chew. In fact, it did - million eighty-six pounds of chev,ing gum. Such was the amount consumed t\ last year, according to figures given out today by the Department of Commerce. ££t^verage^ about a hundred sticks of gum for every man, woraan^«MP child - and stenographer^ A hundred million dollars’ worth of chewing gum a year, -^work your jaws on that I IRISH If anyboay m St. Louis on Tuesday next should ask: "Has anybody here seen Kelly?” - the answer will be, "No.” The floats in tne St.Louis Mardi Gras will parade along but nobody will see Kelly, because Kelly today was taken right out of the show. Who objected to Kelly? Why, the Irish -&J: seems strange. One tuneful feature of the mid-western Mardi Gras is to be ft /I a procession of twenty floats representing - the songs we sing. One was to depict an Irish song we sing. The choice was, nHas Anybody Here Seen Kelly ?11 afhis aroused the indignation of the .A Irish, partly because the song is not sweet and soulful enough to l<v\ • represent the heart of old Erin. And partly - because on the float was a figure of what I can describe only in the words the Irish themselves used. They said it was "a big be oon of an Irishman.” So Kelly is out, and St.Louis is now trying to select another Irish song. One opinion is given by Dr. Emmet Kane, well known as ^^t» Patrick’s Day orator. He said today, m ms best St.Patrick’s Day style: ’’It’s too bad a song more representative of Ireland isn’t used. She has given so many songs to the entire world that stir a proper feeling in people’s hearts.” IRISH Well, what song would seem to fit the bill? Guess? Here’s the suggestion from Missouri Circuit Judge O’Seill Ryan. <V He proposes "Mother Machree". "There is a place in me heart which no colleen may own" AND SOLONG UNTIL TOMORROW.
