STORY OF LIFE IS RELATED BY TORCHSUSPECT Schroeder, in Interview at County Jail, Gives His Record as Mechanic. (Continued From Page 1) in the garage and then wandered around many western states.” The man charged with killing an unknown man and then firing the car in which the body lay, stopped again. With more promptings he began his sotry in a tired, colorless monotone. “I was working in Thermopolos, Wyo„ in 1917, when the war broke out. "I enlistea in the aviation and was sent to Kelley field, Texas, where I held a master signal electrician’s rating. All I did was mechanic s work. I never was a pilot. In the fall of 1917 I was discharged from the army.” Schroeder would not tell why he was discharged a year before the armistice.

Wandering Garage Mechanic "Disability discharge?” he was asked. ‘‘No; there was nothing the matter with me,” he answered. ‘‘Yellow ‘ticket?’ ” dishonorable discharge, was the next question. ‘‘Well, not exactly that,” he replied. He then took up the story of a wandering garage mechanic who went from town to town, plying his trade. ‘‘l worked for a few months in Corpus Christi, Tex. I then went to Beeville, Tex., in the fall of 1917,” he said. ‘‘l met my wife there. ‘‘She went back home to Natchez, Ala., while I stayed in Beeville. I then went to Houston and to Port Arthur, Beaumont and then to Vinton, La. I got sick there and went back to Port Arthur. A few weeks later I went to Crowley. La.” Made Comfortable Living In the meantime, the girl who was to be Mrs. Schroeder went to visit relatives at Quincey, Fla. Schroeder went there and in the fall of 1918 they were married. They stayed in Quincey a year and then he went to Hosford, Fla., and finally to Pensocola. In 1921, they moved to Mobile where Schroeder went to work in a garage. There were bom their two children, Harold Herbert Jr., 10, and Ernest, 8. Four years ago Schroeder opened a radiator repair shop under his own name. “I made a pretty comfortable living. I always did that. My wife and I got along well together—that is as well as most married folks. Always Liked to Read Schroeder has no favorite sports and his only recreation is motor trips, with occasional fishitjg and hunting trips. “I always liked to read. Nothing like fiction, but some serious books and have been a student of bookkeeping,” he continued. “I wanted to know about that in order to take care of my business.” He refused to touch on his affair with the brunette Gertrude Kittrell for whose sake, it is charged, he was going to become dead legally. “If I ever get out of this I guess I will go back to Mobile to live,” he said. Peering from behind his thick spectacles he said: ‘‘l didn’t bum the car in an insurance plot. I only carried $17,000 worth.” Then, after a pause, “A man is no man who wouldn’t take care of his family and children.” Clang of the heavy door behind Schroeder’s back closed the interview. City Woman Takes Poison Mrs. Alice Weight, 31, of 2454 Nortn Alabama street, who took poison in an attempt to end her life Wednesday night, was in a serious condition at city hospital today. Clyde Wright, her husbad, told police she had been in ill health several years.

WE SEE OUR HERO AS WAR TREATED HIM

‘Show Me Death’ Gives a Closeup View of What a Canadian Soldier Experienced During the World War. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN IT IS getting so that I am asked if this story is one of war and if that movie deals with war. Many times an affirmative answer prevents a reader from reading a certain book or a patron of a theater from seeing a certain movie. There is as much difference in war novels as there is in movies. We have two outstanding war movies—“ Journey’s End” and “All Quiet on the Western Front.” Asa book “All Quiet on the Western Front” before it became a movie attracted the attention of millions. It brought war into the parlor

through the eyes of a German lad. At this time we might consider “Show Me Death," by W. Redvers Dent, published by Harper & Brothers, as a literary companion having the right to be in the same book rack as “All Quiet” and mighty close to that book. ‘‘Show Me Death” is a serious study of a Canadian soldier fighting in France during the World war. We will call the central character Lionel and we see the war through his eyes, through his terrible experiences facing and receiving terrible injuries which left him sightless in one eye and his face not resembling that work by any human being. But he ‘eceived the love of a woman because he had crept close to her soul and love in a relationship that is not called proper today. But sex had its place in war. This man Lionel had a great body, a powerful sex machine which appealed to women. This same man had the power to make great friendships with Allen Harley and other lights, all real men. It was with Allen that Lionel's friendship became a factor of saving the very soul of the man when he became wrecked physically by war. Allen w r as dead, but it was Allen's wife who made possible a future of love for the shell ridden body of Lionel. Not a pretty sight but Allen’s wife caught the great spirit of manhood lurking behind the death mask in Lionel and forced sweetness and an understanding of God to come into his very being. In “Show Me Death” we meet Lionel declaring “I wasn’t wanted, not wanted, my fivst real suspicion of life and its difficulties was that. Not wanted." His early home life in Canada was described as “hell” by Lionel. His mother abused' and failed to understand him. His father did but did not have the strength to defend his son from the wrath of his mother. And when Lionel gets through with war, even death, it seems, did not want him. Here is a closeup of war. We

tion as in “Dead Man’s Float,” and continue windmill movements. Go SLOWLY. Move only arms. D. Pupil should stand in water waist deep. Practice the windmill stroke as before, but this time lean forward so that the arms pull througn the water. Keep fingers together hands cupped. Hands must be behind the hips before being recovered from the water. KEEP ARMS STRAIGHT. E. Combined movements of the arms and feet are nec.ess.al7 to swimming. The “Flutter Kick’" will be explained in the next lesson.

never lose the individual. We hear the very heart beats and hear the thoughts of Lionel. War treated him terribly and we see the awful blows dealt upon the body, mind and soul of this soldier. Ic is a startling story of a human’s experience in war. “Show Me Death" is the only book so far that seriously has the right to be considered with “All Quiet.” So do not get fed up on war stories at least until you have read “Show Me Death.” a it a “Courage” at the Apollo, opening today; “Shadow of the Law” at the Indiana, “Bride of the Regiment” at the Circle, “The Big Pond” at the Ohio, “Dumb-bells in Ermine” at the Lyric, “The Lady of Scandal” at the Palace, and burlesque at the Colonial.

AMERICANS ARE FAVORED BY LOW PRICE OF SUGAR 1 Most Nations Pay Much Higher Price for This Product According to statistics, sugar is one of the cheapest food products bought by the American housewife day in and day out. In Australia and New Zealand, where the per capita consumption is thirty pounds more per year than in the United Stated, a higher price is maintained. The standards of this country in refining sugar, not only insure uniform color, granulation, density and purity, but give it unlimited keeping qualities. Besides, Americans are offered sugar in many inviting forms, conveniently packed to suit their needs. The low price of sugar, its many uses, and the important part it plays in the diet should not be overlooked. It is one of the chief ingredients in wholesome desserts, including puddings, custards and ice cream. It improves the taste-appeal of beverages, nutritious stewed and fresh fruits, also breakfast cereals. Used as a seasoning with salt, sugar heightens the flavor of vegetables rich in vitamins and minerals. The healthy, well-fed United States Army consumes considerably | more sugar per capita than those in civilian life. Inasmuch as the j diet of these soldiers is constantly j watched by medical and dietary experts, this consumption of sugar is significant. Good food promotes good health.
