WIDOW OF BANDIT
NOW REVIVALIST
i * % * '
Husband Electrocuted, She
Turns to Eventelism.
Philsdelphla.—Mrs. Gertrude Doris,
widow of Frnnkle Doris, noted
Otney bank bandit who was electro*
cuted In the state prison at Itoekvlew
with three companions for the murder
of Policeman Harry M. Coope** In
1020, has become n revivalist. Site is
attached to Hie Salvation Army cita
del, Eighth and Vine streets, where
she Is devoting her life to alleviating
the sorrows of others.
Commandant Stalnthorpe said that
Mrs. Doris had been regularly enrolled
as a “Soldier of the Ix»rd,” and was
assigned to the district centering
around Eighth and Vine streets. Her
probationary period over, site has as
sumed the Salvationists’ uniform.
Recently she appealed to those who
entered the citadel to forego the ways
of sin. Standing on the platform the
young woman avows “the racket” can
never pay.
“Crime doesn’t pay. There’s noth
ing in the racket, in any racket. It’s
a losing game,” she exhorted her hear
ers. “Some who lose go to the chair,
the others. In the long run, go to Jail.
And the women, their fate is even
worse; you have seen them pass on
their way to the Philadelphia General
hospital; then oblivion.”
The widow of the bank bandit, who
has admitted she was once a rack
eteer, left the old ways on the night
after her husband, with Francis Bent
ley, William Jullano and William
Curry, attempted to rob the Olney
Bank and Trust company, and were
captured after Policeman Cooper had
been shot down.
She obtained work In a department
atoro and early last fall began to at
tend the Salvation army meetings. A
few months ago she had a long talk
with Commandant Stalnthorpe and be
gan her period of probation for service
with the Salvationists.

Old Edict Brings Fin*
Dijon, France.—An edict of 1777
raised Its dusty head to bring to jus
tice a man who unluckily threw a dead
rabbit into the river at Dijon. The
edict was promulgated In 1777 by the
stately council of Louis XVI. which
got hot with rage because dead rab
tolls were occasionally thrown Into
French river*. When a man at Dijon
waa caught throwing a rabbit into the
river he was arrested and heavily

TELLS HOW'SHOW ME’
STATE GOT ITS NAME
Lack of Drest Suit Led to
Catch Phraae.
Columbia, Mo.—Those who use the
“show me" quotation probably never
paused to wonder how that catch
phrase, which has made the state of
Missouri famous and which has been
repented countless times Ijn many
lands, originated. So popular has the
phrase become that It Is now used as
a state slogan, a title for the newest
humor publication at the Missouri
university, and Is carried In the ban
ner of the state National Guard.
Col. Willnrd P. Vandiver, a Virgin
ian hy birth, hut a Missourian at heart,
Is accredited for this bit of often used
original humor. Thirty-one years ago
Colonel Vahdlver was a member of
a naval committee Inspecting the
naval yard at Philadelphia. After the
Inspection, the naval committee was
invited to stay for a banquet given
that evening by the Five o’clock club
of the city.
Had No Dress Suit.
“I had no idea of attending a ban
quet,” said Colonel* Vpndiver, “so 1
forgot to bring along my dress suit,
and so did Governor Hull of Iowa,
who was a member of the military
committee. We were the only ones
who did not have dress suits, so we
planned to go to the banquet without
them.
“But when I arrived later I found
Hull had rented one. and that I was
the only one who wag not prepared
for the occasion. During the toasts.
Governor Hull was called upon and he
eulogized Philadelphia, even declaring
that the tailors there had made him a
dress suit on only 15 minutes ootlce.
“1 was called on next, and didn’t
know whether to crawl on top of the
table or under It. I finally decided to
make my speech the meanest one pos
sible.”
It Didn't Fit Him.
Colonel Vandiver abused the city
roundly and then turned on Hull to
repay him for the embarrassment he
had caused him. ending his speech
with these words: “His talk about
your hospitality is all bunk; he wants
another feed. He tells you that the
tallora. finding tl?bt he was without ■
dress suit, made him one on 15 min
utes notice. You heard him say that
he came here without one. and you
see him now with one that doesn't fit
him. That Is the reason you see him
with one and me without one. I came
from a state that raises corn, corkle-
hqrs. and DemtAcrats; I am fmm Mis
souri. You’ve got to show me!"
Colonel Vandiver did not know at
that time he had nicknamed a state
and had spoken what wua to be a
world famous slogan.
America Leads in Child
Study, Expert Claims
Denver.—America Is. more than 20
years ahead of Europe In Its applica
tion of child psychology, according to
Justin Bricrly of Columbia university,
expert on child psychology. Brlerly
visited his home here recently after
making a study of conditions In or
phanages. day nurffTles. and Institu

countries.
Brierly's re|>or*. which will be sub

bureau of America. Included atudles
made in varlrfti* Institutions In. Eng
land. Germany, France. Sweden, Italy,
Ireland. Scotland, and Wales.
While mental or psychology tests
are applied to the subnormal child In
many Institutions In Euro|»e, Brlerly
said that no mental or emotional tests
were given to normal children.
“Such tests are common In o\ir pub
lie schools,” he said. “We have long
considered the emotional and the men
tal test absolutely necessary- for the
welfare of the normal child. In Eu
rope the opinion Is Just Hie opposite.**
He said he found only two psycho
logical clinics in I^ondon and that they
were on a trial basis, compared with
hundreds In America.

Hon of this slow progress.
Virtually all the countries of Europe
have established Juvenile courts, pat

said.

deer mr. editor:—
a good manny of my con stituents
have been begging me here of late to
run for govner of my state, but onner
count of being kurriner alreddy, i do
not feel like giving same up to take
a chance with a bunch of polly tish-
k>ns that i know will ass pire to this
off is.
i believe i am good timber for the
goober natorial race as i stand well in
my community all over the county and
understand how to vote both pro and
con for fool measures as they are
fetched up from time to time by the
genral ass sembly who thinks it it
their duty to hitch out a bill of some
kind and it don't make much differ
ence what kind.
i would like to tel in the govner's
chair at lea«t 1 term so’s i could turn
off a few thousand men who have
jobs but no work to do. I would pass
a law making it a miss demeanor to
graft proceeds which belong to the
state, or except bribes from men who
sell masheenery for roads and bridges
and concrete works, i would allso
veto anny bill which taxes the poor
man and his dog.
i have had considerable experients
in running a beef bizness as well as
a big farm, and i have handled big
droves of yearlings all by my self and
i therefore know that I could manage
legislature o. k. i have allso helped
with a few hess races in my life and
that makes me believe that i could
hold my own with the highway com-
■into.
when i was a boy, i played who's
got the thimble and tag, and with
this knowledge before me, i am sure
that i can take care of the tax com
mission. aff to the asylum and peni
tentiary, i am fuller aware that i can
hold my own with same—as i slept
in a room once with 2 congress men
and an income tax collector, and allso
shooed bosses and mules when i lived
in georgy.
and the welfare bored will not be
over looked in my mercy as i had the
7-yr. each twiste and the shingles once
and a s to the 5,645 investigating com
mittees now investigating, i ass sure
you that i am capable of meeting them
and hearing their report which will be
nothing except—“pay us—all jobs is (
clean”—as i useter raise game roos
ters for sale and allso kept 5 bellow
ing bulls in my barn one summer when
beef was cheap, plese rite or foam if
you think i otter run or keep what i
have got.

probable showers in the belt and a
