THE ART OF CARVING Always place a roast for carving on a good-sized platter, or round dish. Insert the carving fork at the left side of the meatlift just below the surface and carve evenly across the top, from right to left, laying this slice at one side. As you slice off the even slices, place them on serving dishes. A standing roast, if carved in the kitchen, is easiest managed by inserting the knife under the edge at the end of bones and holding it firmly with the fork inserted at the head of the roast. The meat may be carved free of the bones entirely, then it may be sliced like the rolled roast. But if it is carved at table, the carver must slice from the heavy end, after having cut the meat across at the bones at the heavy end, to leave the slices free to serve as they are sliced. In carving a leg of lamb, place it on a platter with the small end to the right of the carver. Insert the fork firmly in the heavy end. Start to slice in the center. Slice across and down to the bone. The slices may be removed from either side of the bone. The narrow side is usually better done than the wide side. Miss Florence Otto spent the week end at Long Beach. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Spohn, Jimmie Spohn and Albert Robison attended the theater in Fullerton Monday night. Dr. and Mrs. D. W.

WINS NEW HONORS AS SWORDSWOMAN "MAIN STREET BECOMES COURT INA, Ill., Sept. 25.—Main-street has become a court of justice. The fellow citizens of Elsie Sweetin and Rev Lawrence M. Hight, who killed that they might possess each other, sit in conference assembled. Life in a small town is lived in houses of glass. There are few secrets. Loves and hates and possession; good fortune and bad; happiness and sadness—are all commonly shared. And now, with Elsie and the preacher held for murder, the patriarch of this town assemble early at the square close to the furniture store and seek a newer solution to an old old problem. They review Hight's life and that of his "perfect mate." "A good woman—Elsie," a venerable one remarks, quoting from the gossip of his wife. "She was a good mother and a good wife. Sweetin thought a lot of her." Language here is terse and unadorned, like the lives of these men spent in tilling the rugged countryside on in the mires. "He was bad." It is the town's opinion of Hight. Nathan Newell puts the town's feeling, at least that of the men, into words. "He came here out of nowhere and what with his face shaved nice every day and his powdered nose and his nice clothes—all the women spoke to him and smiled. And he was interested. He couldn't keep his eyes off any woman." Elsie was good looking and he took up with her. He took up with some woman everywhere. They were young and old. There was something bad about him, though. The men didn't like him and they had no reason to." And the little circle made it plain that the pastor need have no fear of a lynching. No, we wouldn't give him Continued from page one one position and not able to move so much as her little finger. "I guess it was about 4 a.m. the crisis was at hand. I thought for a moment she was going to get well and I prayed she would. It was either a life of nagging or a life with my perfect mate. Free. But as the daylight was dawning, I was hoping she would live. Tears welled into his eyes and repentance and contrition were written on his face to give way to a more sinister look as he went on: "It was just at dawn that my wife in the faintest whisper asked for coffee. The weather was chilly and a sting of chill permeated the house. I wrapped something about my shoulders and went for the coffee. I didn't say to myself 'now here is the chance,' but perhaps my subconscious mind was working, for I wept directly to the kitchen and pantry and reached for the container which held a death and a new life—a free life to live over again. I put a little powder in the black liquid." The parson digressed momentarily to draw a diagram showing the position of his wife's bed in relation to the kitchen and the path he had to travel with the death potion. "I watched her for two days and nights after she drank that stuff." he continued. "God, she improved a bit after she got the stuff in her vitals for she could then move above a bit until she expired." And in the midst of this exposition of the death throes of the wife who had stood by him for 26 years, the pastor's mind reverted to the woman for whom he had done so much. He broke off his story abruptly to interject. "She handed me many notes. Sometimes as I stood in the doorway of the little church when we shook hands; sometimes she dropped them as I walked a block or so behind her." The little clergyman was talking almost breathlessly now. He seemed anxious to unburden himself of the whole sordid story. "I and Wilford Sweetin were good friends," he went on. "We wrestled about like chums matching our physical prowess. We never had words. Mrs. Sweetin told me she never loved him. She married him when she was a child and did not know what love was. At least, that's what she told me." When I told Elisie goodbye after our conference at Mount Vernon she said: 'I'll be waiting for you.' And it thrilled me. At first I wanted to stick to my original confession whereas I said that I had poisoned both. She said she would take care of my children. I wanted to do that but my conscience was not clear. So I told the truth. I want all the world to know I'm sorry. But what can I do? Rev. Hight has an idea: "If I every day and his powdered nose and his nice clothes—all the women spoke to him and smiled. And he was interested. He couldn't keep his eyes off any woman. 'Elsie was good looking and he took up with her. He took up with some woman everywhere. They were young and old. There was something bad about him, though. The men didn't like him and they had no reason to." And the little circle made it plain that the pastor need have no fear of a lynching. "No, we wouldn't give him neck tie party if we could," they say. "He isn't worth it. We'll let the law take its course and if it's hanging, it will be all right with us.

Decision of the California supreme court which barred the LA Follette Wheeler ticket of electors from the November ballot was announced in a statement issued this afternoon by Sen. Hiram Johnson, Rep. "The decision in my opinion," said the statement "is unjustified by the law, contrary to public policy and of most harmful consequences. It is such decision as this that undermine public confidence in the courts." "The reasoning of the dissenting opinions of Judges Lennon, Lawler and Seawell is unanswerable," the California senator said. "Here it would appear from all the opinions was a case where either of two decisions might be made, one following the letter of the law which does wrong and the other following the spirit of the law which would enable a large body of citizens to exercise a fundamental right. The letter of the law, with its resulting wrongness followed; the spirit rejected." This I say would appear from a reading of the opinions, but I do not think the law itself admits of two conclusions.
