Woman Wounds
Husband, Kills
Self in Argument
Springfield, Ore. (W A
housewife climaxed an argu
ment with her husband Satur
day night by critically wound
ing him with a .22 caliber
pistol, setting fire to their
house one mile east of here,
and then apparently firing a
fatal shot into her own head,
police said.
Mrs. Beulah Gall, about 40,
kept 20 city and state police
men and Lane county sheriff's
deputies at bay outside the
home for more than an hour
after wounding Herman Gall,
her 43-year-old husband.
Attendants at a Springfield
hospital said Gall was still on
the critical list today.
Found in Hallway
No shots were exchanged
with the woman, police said,
but at 12:30 a.m. Sunday they
noticed smoke pouring from
the house and summoned fire
men. Lawmen said they then
heard several shots, broke in
through a window, and found
Mrs. Gall lying in a hallway
with a bullet in her temple.
They theorized other shots
were caused by ammunition
exploding in the flames.
The woman was armed with
a shotgun, a rifle and other
guns.
Gall, a catskinner, had stag
gered to the house of a neigh
bor, A. M. Anderson, about
11:30 p.m. and said his wife
had shot him.
Cause of the quarrel was
unknown, police said.

in trip western allies' summit
conference in Paris, called for

AN EXECUTIVE had trouble finding-a new secretary who
would work more than 25 hours a week but he's got one
at last He thinks she's pretty smart, too and submits this
evidence to prove his point:
1. She says she's made a
remarkable discovery about
a fountain pen: if you dip
it into a bottle of ink, you
can use it just like any
other pen, without going to
all the bother of filling it.
2. On her job question
naire she was asked, "What
types of machine are you
skilled in operating?" She
answered, "Slot and pin
ball." Sir James Chrichton-Browne
tells about a vaudeville impersonator who told his audience, "If
somebody here will name a female character in Shakespeare, I'll
endeavor to give my impression of her." A brilliant man in Row C
hollered "Florence Nightingale." Unperturbed, the impersonator
replied, "I said Shakespeare, not Dickens."

represent your interests in settling the matter? You must "Go it alone" when
you deal directly with the company. That's one good reason for buying your
insurance through Don Strathos, Insuror, a trained independent insurance agent.
Not limited to a single company, he selects the company and policy best suited
to your individual needs and looks after your interests under whatever circum
stances whenever you need him.
