Mother Slays

Second Husband, a Negro, About To
Leave Prison. Carefully Plan
ned Clime.
Columbus. O.—Their hears pierc
ed by bullets from a revolver fired
by their mother, seven children of
Mrs. Ethel Geller, 44, lay dead yes
terday.
Friends of Mrs. Geller, twice mar
lied and the mother of 11 children,
believed she despaired of her strug
gle to support them by selling news
papers or was distraught by the be
lief that her second husband, a ne
gro, would soon be released from
the state penitentiary where he is
serving a sentence on a statutory
charge.
Mrs. Geller shot the children late
Tuesday and then turned the gun
upon herself. Physicians said she
might recover.
Before the shootings Mrs. Geller
took her family to a photographer
and had a group picture taken.
Then she took them home, bathed
and tucked them in bed. One by
cne, she shot them through the
heart, putting towels over them to
prevent powder bums.
Elaine. 10, apparently struggled
with her mother. A neighbor bov
heard someone cry "murder,'* and
saw her pulled back In the house.
She alone was not tucked In, but
was laid across the bed.
The exactness with which the
killings were carried out puzzled po
lice. Some believed the children liad
been given sleeping position, this
was not borne out by the coroner.
A letter addressed to her daugh
ter, Mildred, one of the survivors,
gave instructions for disposal of
household goods and family trink
ets. “Lots I want to say,” the let
ter close, “but can’t think. It is all
for the best.”
The victims were: Alice and Alan
Yeldem, twins, three years old;
Wayne Yeldem. 7. Byron Yeldem,

Knees Of Hollywood Stars Jast
Will Not Keep Hid By New Style
Movie Beauties Manage To Get
Long Skirts Cut Down
Somehow.
Hollywood.—There may not be a
feminine knee left anywhere else in
the United States, but in spite of
the womanly styles decreed by Paris,
knees are out in Hollywood. What
we mean, out. Not “out.” That is,
knees here are still in. Boy, hoVdy,
are they!
Oh, the shops know about Paris
and the 1830 long skirts. The shops
tell Moddam that the street frock
should come four to six inches be
low the knee, while the evening
frock should touch the ground.
Moddam just says, “Yeah?”
Buyers from the Middlewest and
Northwest, arriving in Los Angeles
and Hollywood to get e slant on late
Spring styles, invariably ask one
question the minute they land:
“Where are the long skirts women
are supposed to be wearing?" Well,
the shops bulge with the long
skirts women are supposed to be
wearing. By the time those skirts
get out on the street, however, they
have often been shortened to a
brevity which would throw the Rue
de la Paix into adjectives. Not that
in the aggregate you don’t notice
plenty of long skirts flapping about
the highways and byways; but
about the highways and byways you
notice so many more skirts which
cease to flap where the knee be
gins.
Yet the couturiers here get their
stuff direct from the couturiers of
Paris. The movies follow the styles,

SATURDAY 11 - 12.
as you can tell by the up-to-the
minute and down-to-the-calf gowns
in any talkie. Officially, Hollywood
is so womanly you can hear the
stays creak. Unofficially, it doesn’t
let the left knee know what the
right knee is doing.
Tims it results that while in the
gown salons, in the movie studios,
you see dresses of demure length,
on the street you see as a rule
dresses of this year’s lines but last
year's latitude. And an elert observ
er can’t help noticing that fre
quently when a lady wears a trans
lucent evening gown which touches
the floor, she wears beneath it a
slip which leaves the knee perfect
ly, you might say, free.
All of which leads to the ques
tion: ‘'Why?” Several answers exist,
such as the one about the climate
being so warm, and the one about
how everybody Is always dressed
ready tor tennjs. But the real an
swer Is that movie 6tars with mil
lion dollar knees, often dimpled,
don't set so high a value on ankle
length skirts as Paris does. Holly
wood has spent a cast amount of
money to collect a large number of
the most beautiful legs in the world.
Hide ’em? Why, a majority of the
stars don't even wear stockings.
As goes the movie colony, so goes
Hollywood, and as goes Hollywood,
so goes Los Angeles In matters like
that. There are more knees in Los
Angeles county today than In all
the other counties in the United
States combined, and already the
Influx of tourists, especially of na
ture lovers eager to behold for them
selves the scenic wonders of this
section, has broken every previous
record.
Columbus county farmers have
sold over $10,000 worth of fat hogs
this spring.
