Arizona Hangs
First Woman
Florence, Ariz., Feb. 21.? Mrs, Eva
Dugan, the first woman to be legally
executed in Arizona, paid with her
life today for the slaying in 1927
of A. J. Muthia, Tucson rancher. The
trap km sprung at 5:11 a. m.
As the trap clanged and she drop*
jx'd more than six feet, the noose
tightened, severing her head, and the
body ratai>ulti*d to the floor. Dr. L.
A Hove, prison physician, pronounced
her dead immediately.
Warden 1/orenzo Wright ion mediately
cleared the gallows room, an I
turned the body ovei to tiie prison
physician and an undertaker. , Six
women witnessed the execution.
Mrs. Dugan, unshaken, calmly
climbed the. thirteen steps to the gull<
w - and smiled as the black hood
was adjusted over her head. She
said she had no statement to make.
Warden Wright clasped her hand
and said, "God bless you, Kva."
Mrs. Dugan smiled arid said, "Good
bye. Daddy Wright."
A few seconds later the steel trap
was sprung.
The .*>2 year-old housekeeper, who
was convicted of the murder of Mathis,
her employer, in January, 1927,
in -order to gain possession of his
property, spent thy hours preceding
her execution in the company of the
prison chaplain and a few frineds.
l.'ntil after midnight she sat at
a card table and played whist with
two women friends and a woman
prisoner, while outside her cell the
death watch paced back and forth.
During the course of the game,
Mrs. Dugan requested that her
"guests" be served with orangeade.
Several minutes passed before the
driiik was served, and the condemned
woman called to a guard: "I'lease
bring on the orangeade. I want it
i:ow . Tomorrow will be too late."
Sin-c early evening the sky ha t
been overcast, and a light rain was
I altering on (he gravelled pathway
a- the w -man NtfHri >led from her cell
: n t he pi i on proper across an open
-pace to '.lie death eell. She smoked
a cigareiti and joked with guards as
in- marched along, and a- they beared
the gallows house she laughed and
- .eg. I D-oi't Know Win re I'm Going.
Hut I'm On'My Way."
Mi-. Dugan kissed two of the
gua ii- who left her at the door of
the de ath house. and said: "1 love
everyone connected with the prison.
You ha\e all Im-cii good to me, and I
can't blame you for what the law
is going to do to me."
The guards were more visibly affected
than was the woman who
stood in the shadow of the scaffold.
A telegram delivered to her in the
condemned cell revealed a hitherto
unknown chapter' in her early life.
The message, signed "Ada Hostapple,
Seattle, Wash." read: "I sympathize
with you and have the greatest admiration
for your bravery and grit."
".Via is an old friend of the Yukon
day-," Mr-. Dugan said. "ITobablv

SO.MKHODY ANSWER THIS
The industries are overcrowded
with applicants for labor, the economists
are informing us. There is
a -urplus of labor in all the factories
due to the double reason that agricultural
life has become so sterile
and unprofitable within recent years
;:t d. also, because of the substitution
of so many mechanisms for muscular
labor. Hence the industries
.arc in a position of being unable to
aln-orb all the labor that abounds

Life Sentence
| For Step-Mother
Pickens, Feb. 22.?A jury last
night found Kdd Chappell guilty of
being an accessory after the fact in
the murder of his 20-monthn-old
daughter, Avanelle. His wife, the
child's step-mother, plead guilty to
the murder Wednesday afternoon, admitting
that she had suffocated the
baby. She was given a life sentence.
The jury returned the verdict u?
gainst Chappell Saturday night abou'
7 o'clock after deliberating for an
hour and a half. He was given a
sentence of five years, either on the
chain gang or in the state penitentiary.
His lawyers served notice of
appeal, and Chappell was released on
11,000 bond. f
The case has attracted . much
tendon and the trial, which began
Wednesday, heard the startling confession
of Mrs. Onie Chappell that
she murdered the child and that
Chappell only helped her dispose of
I the body. She had claimed at the inquest,
held two weeks after the body
was found, that Chappell had knocked
the child down, killing it.
The body of the murdered child
j was found on January 12, by an oldI
or child, -stuffed down in a washtub
on the back porch in three inches
<>f water.
What a Hank .Means to a Community
It is amazing and amusing to get
the crude viewpoints of many people
with reference to banks. In former
days they would have excited no comments,
when everybody paid, und a
bank failure was a rarity. It is still
a largely prevalent notion that its
only function is to lend money. There
is u big element of truth in 'this.
It ibiu't make profits without lending
but the best would not long survive
on loans that were once almost
certainly safe and sound. It
has now reached the stage where
criticism is a fine asset to an institution
of this kind. Easy money is
a mighty dangerous udvestisement
for a bank. Ii is difficult to collect
.rood loans, these days, in many cases.
I' is next to impossible to corner
tr.e doubtful and diseased ones. This
applies more forcibly to private, than
' > bank loans.
( red it is hard to get. as a rule.
I here is a reason for it. The banks
are not to blame. Some can't help
it bycau-o they have overloaded. The
thoroughly solvent ones, remain so,
by caution and gilt-edged security.
So much for that feature.
! You seldom hear people talk about
the advantages of a good bank in the
community, whether they can or cannot,
borrow its money. Though your
funds be large or small, wouldn't
it be a dull drab to life to have no
checking account on a bank? Your
check is the best kind of a receipt.
If over 50 dollars, you can make a
convenience of a bank, year in and
year out, without a cent's cost to
yourself. It takes work to keep your
accounts, though small, in order, and
ready at any moment for your beck
and call. It must be a great nuisance
to these people, who put their
little holding in stockings or bury
the treasure under the corner of the
house, to i>o slipping around at night
tor some change to meet every requirement
.

Unless improperly schooled,

It is unpardonable, and almost |
never violated, for your bank officials
high or law, to let the public
know anything about the business of
their clients, unless unavoidable and
al >St dutely necessary.
As a small depositor in banks along
with other dealings therein, over 40
years, there has never been the

about divulgent and gossipy

Parents Who (iive AH Dcaerve More
Consideration
In our greet desire to free the
children from inhibitions I sometime*
wonder whet we are going to make
of them, writes Mrs, Walter Ferguson
on New York Telegram.
It has become not only the fashion
but the habit to dwell upon the
lives that have been ruined by inconsiderate
parents. We tell and retell
the awful results of a mother-in- I
law's stay in the homg. We bewail j
the burdens that are dumped on the |
shoulders of a son or daughter when !
an old father must bo supported. Our
constant cry is the duty of parents to
children.
Because we have all witnessed the
ha voc that a foolish mother can make
in a home, we know how many fami-'
ly quarrels are the results of meddling
relatives.
But this continuous broadcasting |
about the rights of the child?whac
will it make of him eventually?
Today our children are being reared
with the idea that theirs is the privi- j
lege of treading ruthlessly over ev- j
erytbody. In our constant concern ;
for their welfare we ,/ire in danger !
of making them into thoughtless, in- I
considerate, selfish beings, conscious !
only of their own importance.
The father who has lost his health !
and powers by working hard to pro- (
vide his family with an education? !
has he not earned a place by their
fireside for his old age ? The mother ,
who toils and gives her best years :
with unstinting love?is she to be
pushed off into a corner when her
work is done?
Our tendency to psychoanalye and j
free the children is losing them soma .
precious quality. We are breaking
away their shackles, but we are also j
loading them with others made up of j
arrogance and conceit and cruelty.
They are discarding their reverence 1
for age and experience that marked
the youth of a generation ago. They ;
are growing into rude, high-handed
>ocial bandits, taking their own sweet
way regardless of the feelings of :
others. I
We have the Humane Society to
look out after broken down horses. I
But how are we going to care for |
broken down parents if we keep on j
with this loud talk about the eternal j
rights of the young? The old. too,
have rights, and it's time the children
knew it. What's more, psychologists
or no psychologists, the individual ,
who forgets his duty to age will feel
no sense of duty toward youth. He is 1
a poor son and he will be an equally
poor father. Selfishness is an unpleasing
trait at any age.
Names of drunkards and any offenses
committed by them are published
in newspapers of Keiv, Ukrania.
George L. Cassidy, "the man in the

At Jacksonville, Fla., on, Tuesday
Louis Schoenair of Akron, Ohio, air
