Today's Weather Forecast in inn nrrrn II JMIL urrtn 00D CdNTRAST White Man and Negro Are Quite Different in Their Crimes Two wife-killers, Claude Garver, Welsh Run tenant farmer, and Jack Owens, Negro garage worker, of Waynesboro, occupy cells in the former vagrant section ot the county jail. Both admit the offenses with which they are charged, but there is a marked contrast in their re-, action. Garver is a typical farm laborer, free in speech and simple in manner; one who believes everything that is told him.

This latter fact is generally credited with be-ins one of the contributing causes of his insane jealousy of hi9 wife. His is the memotional nature of those who plod daily through a monotonous routine. He talks about the killing of his wife on every available occasion with no show of emotion. He laughs and jokes with fellow-prisoners, takes exercise in the jail yard and talks of his love for particular kinds of food. Owens is penitent.

City born and bred and possessed of the emotional nature of his race, his attitude is one of humble servility and contrition. Polite and straightforward in speech he answers questions readily and seems anxious to relieve his pent-up emotions in speech. Garver killed his wife, Ida Virginia, at their home near Welsh Run on September 8. Perhaps the interval since the shooting combined with his own suffering as the result of a suicide attempt have served to dull his conception of the enormity of his offense. Perhaps he has developed a philosophy which he is not articulate enough to express.

Owens killed his wife, Hester, at their Waynesboro home on Wednesday night, shooting through a door to Inflict a fatal injury. The slaying lives vividly in his memory. "I was born In Nashville, Tennessee," Owens told a Public Opinion reporter this morning. "Whether it was near Nashville or right in the city, I don't know. I only remember the city.

These were of generous variety meant to bring out special points to make cookery in Chambersburg homes more interesting, preparation of foods more varied, the buying of food stuffs less tangled and serving of meals more satisfying. The absorbing interest and enthusiasm with which the audiences have followed these discussions and made notes of special pointers to be immediately applied at home, have been an impressive feature of these classes. No matter how long cake baking has been done, there are littie suggestions about measuring ingredients, temperatures, decoration and serving that are welcome. It is this sort of thing that makes the cooking school worth while, instructive and enjoyable.

At every session Mrs. Northcross has had many questions to answer. Tb blanks furnished for this- purpose have been used to advantage by many women.
