IN GIRL'S SLAYING
PORTSMOUTH. N. H.. Sept. 8.
(AP) A blood-covered atone "as big
a man's two flats" and a few
strands of hair were the only clues
unearthed today by police lnvestlgat-
Ing the brutal slaying of eight-year
old Barbara Drlscoll whose body
earlier waa found stuffed under a
building In Portsmouth's railroad

An ex-convlct, held for question
ing, steadfastly dented any connec

Rockingham county attorney Stephen

child was attacked "with intent to
commit criminal assault."
Dr. Frederick B. Gray, medical ref
eree, however, reported a preliminary
Investigation showed there had been
no attack.
Crater tan Comedy
Delights Audience
There's fun and plenty of It at the
Crate rian theatre, where "Cowboy
from Brooklyn" opened its three day
run yesterday to highly appreciative
capacity audiences, who kept the
theatre rocking with laughter.
Comedies don't come any funnier
than this musical saga of a cowboy
who never rides the range because
he's scared to death of horses.
With the exception of a few sentl
mental interludes and some musics:
moments practically every minute of
"Cowboy from Brooklyn," which has
Pat O'Brien, Dick Powell and Pris-
cllla Lane In the featured spots. Is
one continual round of mirth. Some
of the songs are old cowboy ballads,
but there are five new tunes the
catchiest undoubtedly being "Ride,
Tenderfoot, Ride."
The show gets off to a flying start
when Pat O'Brien, as a vacationing
Broadway theatrical producer, mis
takenly assumes that Dick Powell
who Is being paid to entertain the
dudea at a Wyoming dude ranch,
an honest-to-gosh cowboy.
Dick aa actually a Brooklyn boy
who has never ridden a horse and is
frightened at the mere thought of
getting into a saddle. Nevertheless
Pat takes him back to New York
and makes him a success as a croon
ing cowboy.
When it becomes necessay for Pa
to prove that his singer Is a real cow
boy, he arranges to have Dick denv
onstrate his talents at a rodeo. To
tell here how this seemingly Impos
sible task la hilariously managed
would take the edge off one of the
moat amusing sequences ever screen

Miss Violet's got
rhythm...
Miss Violet Parsons, she gives piano les
sons, so I'm tryin' to talk her language.
"Miss Parsons," I says, "driyin' a car
nowadays is like doin' that 'Big Apple
dance. It's all stop and go. I bet you stop
and start a dozen times a day, goin'
around givin' kids lessons.
"Well, when you do stop your car, your
oil all drains off the movin' parts in your
engine. Then you start up. Right there
lot of wear happens.
"That is, unless you use an oil that 'snaps
Into it' flows fast, you know.
"Now, we got that kind of oil here," I sayt.
"Golden Shell and it's only a quarter.
"Gosh, Miss Violet, it just makes music
In your motorl ..."
"All oil just looks gooey to me," she comes
back. s
Miss Parsons ain't mechanical, you see. But
I ain't musical, so that makes us even, I
guess. Anyway, Miss Violet's got rhythm in
her motor since she took my advice and
bought Golden Shell.
