Bare Necessities
' Once more. the Salvation Army
comes to the public at Christmas
time for its support in the annual
. Christmas effort of the Army.
in years gone by the public has
. helped the Salvation Army spread
. 600d cheer among the worthy poor
of Noru'olk and there is every con—
‘ fidcnce that the good friends of the
Army are going to stand by it at
this time.
Here is one of the many cases
that. the Salvation Army is going to
take care of during this Christmas
season of the year.
In this family there is the father.
who is a chauffeur. a mother and
,acven children. The ages of the
Children rungs from 13 years to
three months. All the little ones
. are dependent on the. wages of
,' $27.60 that are brought in by the
‘ rather. which is very small in com-
parison with the high rent of $30.
the family has to pay and also the
. high cost of living.
The father does not take. the
money that he earns and spend it
lot that which deprives the little
ones of the bare necessities of life.
He is a. hard working man and does
rail he can for his family.
A family of this kind is deserving
of any help that. can be given At.
This is what is called a "worthy
case.” Already the Salvation Army
has been in touch with this family
and helped it in different ways.
‘ A ’real good' Christmas dinner
would look good to the members of
this family.
An appeal is now made to help
the Salvation Army provide this and
» other families that are just as de-
serving with some of the. good
things that you yourself will enjoy
on Christmas day.
Make all checks payable to the
Salvation Army and send them to

ADMITS KILLING
CHUM BECAUSE
‘OF A WOMAN
New York Lad Adds to
His Confession When
Arraigned in Court
-—His Story
NEW YORK. Dec. 2 (AP).—-Gor-
don Pirie. a pink-checked boy. of
twenty. who calmly confessed early
yesterday that he had backed his
nineteen-yeur-old chum. George Nye.
J r., to death with an axe because of
an “irresistible impulse," broke
down last night and weepingly ad-
mitted that the impulse was jealousy
because of a woman. During the day
he was arraigned in Morisunla. Po-
lice Court und remanded without bail
for hearing Friday.
The murder of young Nye was
discovered Sunday night by Margu-
ret Pirie. sister of Gordon. when she
found Nyc's body under her bed on
returning to the apartment she shar-
ed with her brother.
A police search was immediately
started for young Plrie. who was
the last person known to luwo been
with Nye. The Iicurch ended early
yesterday morning when Pirle strol-
led into Morrisania Police station
and calmly confessed that he had
chopped his friend‘to death while
the younger boy was asleep in bed.
Plrie told police that he . then
shoved the body under his sister‘s
bed, where it. was later foun and
fled from the apartment. tween
the time of the murder and the time
when he surrendered he said that he
had been riding about the city and
taking a girl to the movies with
money he had. stolen from his
chum’s clothing after the murder.
He said that the only motive for his
act was an “irresistible impulse"
which he could not explain.
Blight on Modern Youth.
Ills calm demeanor both during
the confession and the court arraign-
ment led District Attorney McGee-
han of the Bronx to picture his
crime as akin to those of Leopold
and Loch. Harrison Noel and Philip
Knapp, the modern gallery of "thrill
“coldest character in his experience"
and made a statement tanning the
murder a “sad commentary" on
modern youth.
Then came the night examination
before Mr. Mcticehsn and an alien-
ist. during which the youth com-
pletely broke down and weepin’gly
admitted that in his earlier confeso
sion he had concealed the true mo-
tive for his act. Details of the Inter
confession were not made public
by Mr. Mchehan. who said it would
be necessary to question several wit-
nesses before he could reveal all
the facts. McGeehan's formal state-
ment after the second confession.

HARD 0N POLICE
DECLAIIES CHIEF
New Britain Man Urg-
es Strict Enforce-
ment or Modification
—A Tough Job
NEW BRITAIN. Dec. 2.—~Strict
enforcement or modification of the
18th Amendment would be welcomed
by police authorities throughout the
country. and is favored by himself.
Chief William C. Hart of the Police
Department. told the Exchange Club
at its weekly meeting at the Hotel
Burritt last night.
In pre-prohibition times. he said.
responsible men of law-abiding qual-
ities were in the liquor business.
but. the chief said. some of those
who deal in the prohibited bever-
ages now aro not fit to be in any
kind of business. Many are not citi-
zens and most of them are an ir-
responsible iot. he said. In some cit-
ies the law is not. enforced at all.
while in others, it is partly enforced.
Some authorities make an honest
effort to enforce it. but find the task
difficult because of the type of men
engaged in it. and also because some
pebble believe the law has deprived
them of their constitutional rights
and they feel that they can take u
drink if they can get it.
Some who know where they can
get it at all times are not deprived
of their pro-prohibition pleasure,
hilt the workingmen who get it
where and when they can. are oblig-
ed to patronize the bootleggers and
the proprietors of the "holes in the
wall." he said. Police departments
had-enough work in the ordinary
run of crime prevention before the
18th Amendment became effective,
Chief Hart said, but that law has
added troubles which can only be
eliminated by strict enforcement.
