She was an expert hair-dresser, plying her trade not only upon other inmates and attendants, but according to a report, upon outsiders as well. The Phoenix Association of Beauty Shop Operators even protested to Governor Jones, charging that she spent so much of her time curling the hair of hospital visitors that she was interfering seriously with their trade. Several citizens reported seeing her occasionally in Phoenix movie theaters, watching double features. These reports never were confirmed. Officials insisted that she had not

The first, a 5-year-old girl, received deep affection and tender care from the woman who had jammed the bodies of her friends in a trunk. The child died after six months.

Failing, she fell into periods of melancholia and despair. To appease her grief, the physicians allowed her to care for an Oriental boy. When the hospital management was changed about a year ago the child was taken from

ther, and Mrs. Judd lapsed into fre-

quent intervals of stupor. Simultaneously her freedom was curtailed. This series of blows was too much for Mrs. Judd’s already-shattered mind, phychiatrists said, and she decided to flee her “persecutors.” In her note, left after her escape,

li she laid down one condition to her i surrender.

“I will surrender to you, on condition you promise me that Dr.

il Saxe (Dr. Louis Saxe, superintend-

ent of the hospital), will be forced to leave .me alone.”

Governor Scolds Mother

Her mother, Mrs. McKinnell, took the note to Governor Jones and was scolded by the Governor for not notifying the authorities at once of her daughter's escape. She said that both she and her husband, the Rev. Mr. McKinnell, had urged her to surrender. Winnie Ruth left her parents’ home after 15 minutes, without saying where she was going or what she planned, her mother said. Mrs. McKinnell was questioned by the Governor after she had been interviewed by Deputy Sheriff James Wallace who said she had refused to tell him “everything.” “We haven't had a fair deal all along,” she told him. “And I don't see why I should tell you.” Dr. Judd, whose frail health was impaired by the notoriety in which his murderous estranged wife involved him, issued a sympathetic if not a tender appeal to her. He said: “I fervently hope that Winnie

Ruth will give herself up. She can

zain nothing by her escape. “If my words can reach her, this

-|is what I say:

“communicate with me, or surrender to the nearest officers cf the law. It will be much better to return on your own free will than to have them hunt you down.” Psychiatrists found the symptoms of her mental malady—progressive and incurable dementia praecox in her note. Written in pencil, unaddressed, and unsigned, 1t follows: . “I am only going to see my father an husband. I have a right to. “My husband. coaxed me to surrender to the police. I did and look what happens. Dr. Saxe tortures me. Even Hitler would not torture his prisoners when they surrendered. I was not overcome so I had to surrender. Only a coward would torture one helpless. I am helpless because I trusted fairness. I do not get it.

“] Hate Everyone”

“Dr. Saxe says I have no privileges. I did have until he came here. He took them away. For 18 months I have yard parole, could sit on the yard alone or with my family. I never abused a piivilege or broke a trust. Dr. 3axe took my privileges because he hates me. “I am persecuted by the Catholics. . ..” (A page apparently missing). “Him $20 to come on. . (Apparently referring to her husband, Dr. W. C. Judd.) But he can only stay one day. $20 just to see him two or three hours. Two hundred hours work to see hmi two or three hours, and now they have ordered him I have to visit him in Mrs. Easton’s (a matron) presence, my bitter enemy. I will not. Tonight I am running away. I hate everyone who has forced me to do it. May God punish them. I want to be a good patient. I like you. I hope you may be Governor again. You have been kind to me and I do not want to do anything ever to hurt you. “I am desperate to see my father. I am going to see him tonight then somehow see my husband and I will surrender to you on condition you promise me Dr. Saxe will be forced to leave me alone. “I will not run away. 'T do not want my freedom illegal.” At midnight she reached her parents’ home. They had visited her twice a week in the hospital. Mrs. McKinnell said her daughter’s appearance at their home was

a complete surprise.

Debt Now 40 Billions

“The English public debt now is around 40 billions and at the end of a three-year war it will be around 70 to 80 billions. It will be impossible for England to pay that off. - “Then there is a dearth of useful leadership 'in Europe. The youth was shot away in the last war. When England wanted to pep up its cabinet, it got Winston Churchill, now 65 years old. The

and cynical men.” Reports of how the present world situation directly affects teaching were made by Miss Alice B. Wesenperg, Butler University, president of the-Deans of Women, and James C. Farmer, Richmond, president of the Deans of Boys group.

Marriage Courses ‘Bad Sign’

Miss Wesenberg said that the courses in marriage, for instance, are “the sign of a sick world.” She believes they are useful and doing a good work, but they should not be necessary. “The young people today feel .they are in-a disorderly and unreasonable world and they feel they have no place in society or industry. A few years ago our job was to teach pupils, now it is to help them adjust themselves to living.” She said the group will resist efforts of psychologists to require school advisory officials to be registered psychologists.

Schools Held Responsible

Mr. Farmer, dean of boys at Richmond, said that “the responsibility these. days of keeping pupils in school is directly upon the schools and not the parents. “We have adopted a system at Richmond which is a move in the right direction, I believe. We do not attempt to teach college preparatory English to a youth who, for instance, is taking machine shop work. “We teach him English, all right, but we make it a little easier and more interesting. If we can give students what they are capable of understanding, they won't be so likely to quit school. A pupil quits because of a feeling of inability to achieve.” Rose E. Boggs, Richmond, retiring president of the Teachers’ Association, will call the general session to order tonight at the Tabernacle. Dr. Carleton W. Atwater, pastor of the First Baptist Church here, will deliver the invocation, and K. V. Ammerman, principal of Broad Ripple High School, incoming president, will make his inaugural address.

Ford Trucks for 1940 have a lot in common with the most expensive trucks you can buy. Just to name a few points: The Ford Truck has a full-floating rear . axle, a straddle-mounted driving pinion with ringgear thrust plate, a semi-centrifugal clutch, needle roller-bearing universal joints. These and many other examples of Ford Truck engineering mark the Ford as a quality truck. Yet the Ford costs hundreds of dollars less than many other trucks that offer the same kind of construction. How is this possible? The Ford Motor Company has manufactured more than four mil-
