He killed another's son, and his
own son was taken. He killed
another's daughter, and his own
daughter was claimed.
' One day a meek little man
j knocked ut the doctor's door,
i "Who is the sick one?" asked
the medical man.
"The mother of my insignifi
cant wile," was the r.ply.
"Oh, unutterable joy," cried
the physician. "Now I shall rid
myself of my unspeakable mother-in-law."

Major Cases
During the nine years he has
headed the Charlotte olliee, the FBI
agent was identified with the major
Federal eases, exclusive of nar
cotics, in North Carolina. A case
gaining wide attention in both the
Carolinas was the tracking down
and arrest of Bill Payne and Wash
Turner following their escape from
the Caledonia Prison Farm in Hali
fax county in 1937.
By overpowering a guard and
hiding in a laundry truck, the two
notorious criminals slipped through
the State Prison ring. The FBI had
no jurisdiction in the case until the
pair robbed the Bank of Montgom
ery at Troy on March 10, 1937.
Having stolen deposits insured hy
the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor
poration, the pair subjected them
selves to FBI action.
Scheldt immediately ordered a
man-hunt for the two men. Mean
while, numerous robberies in the
two Carolinas were attributed to
Turner and Payne. On more than
one occasion they shot their way
free from dragnets thrown out by
local police authorities. On Au
gust 22, 1937, young George C.
Penn nf th Kl.ntn lliulm-- rn
trol spotted and pursued (heir carj 1
in a remote section near Asheville.
Cornered, Payne and Turner shot ni. rc
Penn to death to make good their OUPOVer 30.v)U
escape.
The FBI worked slearily but
quietly. The movements of the
pair were closely watched by
Scheidt, who gave the signal for
the arrest. It came nuietly and
without gunplay on January 2,
1938, in a hotel room in Sanford.
The two were tried in Asheville for
Penn's murder and were executed
here July 1, 1938.
He was responsible for the or
ganization, with local police aid, of
security measures against sabotage
during the war.
When prostitution around Army
camps became a sufficient nuisance
to prompt the Federal May ael, the
law was tried out in nrlh Carolina
and Tennesese only. Scheidt was
responsible for the application of
the untried act to scores of camp
followers around the State s nnny
military bases and was credited
with some success in discouraging
prostitution there. At present, the
act is enforced only in the environs
of Fort Bragg.
From Charlotte, Scheidt has been
promoted to the direction of the
largest t lil olliee in the world. Tie
wUl be succeeded in Charlotte by
John C. Bills, 31, former assistant
in the office at Xeu.n-k r t
Pending Bills' arrival, the Char
lotte office is in charge of YV. C.
Ryan, former assistant to Scheidt.

Ballnese Distinctive
The Balinese have been credited
with many distinctions. By reputa
tion the women are the slimmest and
the pigs the fattest in all Malaysia.
Sitting dancers interpret the moods
of the music with heads, hands and
arms. There are talking birds, the
fowl-like beos; and butterflies that
do not flutter when they fly. Priests
weave traditional figures with their
fingers when at prayer. Trial mar
riages endure. Babies are not per
mitted to crawl. Cremations are
occasions for nOlSV rpvptrv RnnlfO
re made of tree leaves.
Wall Insulation
Wall insulation saves fuel and
keeps the wall warmer. This is im
portant because your bodv loses less
neat to a warm surface than to. a
cold one. In a room with a tem-
peraturle of 70, an uninsulated wall
may b as cold as 50, while an in
sulated wall would be approximate
ly 65 If you stand or sit next to a
Gold Wall vnn will fpp mM ctrnn it
the air temperature in the room is
70 or 72.
