Governor Townsend walked off with opening day honors when he smashed enough clay targets to win in skeet and trapshooting over two dozen contenders. Keith Johns, Kokomo, captured golfing honors.

have picked up enough English from listening to Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, | physician, that they now can understand simple expressions. One thing the babies distinctly dislike, however, is fer anyone to switch languages on them. When they ask for a thing in French and are answered in English, they stomp their feet, shout “non, non,” and ingist on French. “Le Docteur” First person to be recognized in the babies’ vocabularies was Dr. Dafoe, whom they greeted with shouts of “Le Docteur,” as early as a year ago.

“And boys and girls are always marching in Germany,” he added.

Mr. and Mrs. Weir visited England, France, Germany, Holland and Czechoslovakia. “Holland appears to be the most normal country. The Dutch live industriously and happily in the manner of Americans,” Mr. Weir concluded.

Mary Minter's Mother Denies Slaying Taylor

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 28 (U. P= Mrs. Charlotte Shelby, mother of Mary Miles Minter, had her story of the William Desmond Taylor murder case on court record today. She denied she was the killer.

Mrs. Shelby was testifying in hep cwn defense in a civil suit filed by another of her daughters, Mrs. Mars garet Fillmore. | It was Mrs. Shelby's lawver who asked the question directly: “Did you kill William Desmond Taylor?”

“No,” she replied emphatically. In the civil suit, Mrs. Fillmore demanded $48.750 from her mother, The money, she said, was part of $133,000 that Mrs, Shelby gave her for “protection” in the Taylor murder case and later took away from her, Mrs. Fillmore had not accused her mother of the slaying. She said the protection she gave her mother was “preventing her from making wild statements to reporters and police that might implicate her.”

Judge Baltzell and many leading attorneys today paid tribute to his | ability as a reporter and commented on his invariable accuracy. “You don't find better court ree porters,” Judge Baltzell said. | In private as well as in publie life, Mr. Carpenter was devoted to ‘keeping the record,” members of his family said today. For many years, they said, he had various members of the family record their voices on dictaphone discs which he stacked away and which formed what they described as his most valuable possession. Even before they were articulate, Mr. Carpenter got the voices of his family on record, they said, and Mrs. Elinor C.
