SOME MARRIED MEDITATIONS
By Clarence L. Cullen.
~N~@N@~~%~


The reward of marital virtue is sus-
picion.
1t is one thing to win a matrimonial
prize and entirely another one to cash
the ticket
Gradually the How-dare-you-sir!"
girl is being eliminated by certain in.
definable forces in our civilization.
Why is it that the woman with the
protruding forehead, simply draped
with hair, will wear hat that tits
way back on her head?
Of course everybody feels sorry for
her and all like that, but nevertheless
/ it's no wonder the watery-eyed cerise
nosed woman with hay fever takes to
the mountains.
One Of the delightful compensations
for males is that the other girl infalli-
bly, carries in stock a fine little outfit
of remedies for the article known as
broken heart.
The bread-and- butter young woman
who thinks that the dissipated divvle
of man is just gra-a-and isn't the
kind that sticks along with her job
when she marries one of EN-
The millennium will have arrived
when the really-andtrul bathing girl
looks even one-eighth as attractive as
the bathing girl in the illustrated Sec
tions of the Sunday newspapers.
There's money in it for the lit'rary
feller who'll cook up regular dayby-
day series of letters for the use of the
unfortunate married chaps who have
to write every day to their vacation
lied wives.
Why is 1t that, after you spend a
long time selecting a cute little watch
for your wife, she wears it for just
three days and then sticks it away in
some hidden jewelry junk box for the
remainder of time and eternity?
Another young woman who wonders
why 1t is taking her such an uncon-
scionably long time to snag a meal
ticket in the shape of husband is the
one who bullies restaurant walters,
theater ushers, saleswomen in stores
and so on, when eligible men folks
happen to be with her.

TWO SHOTS MISS HIS HEART
MANS SUICIDE REVEALS
STRANGE MALFoRMATIoN.
Autopsy Solves Mystery of Shooting
Twice to Bring About His
Death.

BALTIMORE, November 3.-Because his
heart was several inches from the normal
position Mr.. John J. Sauer of Garden
VILE. Baltimore county, failed yesterday
in two attempts to send a bullet through
that organ while seated In a chair on the
porch Of his home. Death followed in
consequence of internal hemorrhages.
one Of the bullets having penetrated his
left lung.
When DR.. W. D. Corse was sent for
shortly after the shooting he found Mr..
Sauer dead. Two bullet holes were over
the region Of the heart and the doctor
declared that it was impossible for Mr..
Sauer to have fired the second shot, as the
first shot would surely have been fatal.
Sergt. Mann OF the county force was
notified and he ordered an inquest. When
DR.. Corse performed an autopsy he found
that Mr.. Sauer's heart had not been
pierced by either bullet.
Freak Of Nature.
The heart was several inches from the
normal position, very near the middle line
Of the breast. A mass of fatty substances
surrounded the organ, which, the doctor
says, might have pushed it out of posi-
ton. He is inclined to the belief, how
ever, that its peculiar location was due
to a freak of nature.
When he first made an external exam
ination of the bullet wounds DR.. COrse
said he was firmly convinced that 1t would
have been impossible for Mr.. Sauer to
have fired the second shot. The peculiar
location Of the mans heart cleared up
the mystery and demonstrated that the
wounds could have been self-infiicted
Mr.. Sauer was forty-nine years old
and for several years had been employed
as an upholsterer by the Old Virginia
Antique Company on North Howard
street. He was of a cheerful disposition
and apparently enjoying good health
Monday night he attended an oyster roast
in Gardenville. where he chatted cheer

DETERMINED TO GET A PARK
COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CITIZENS
RENEW MOVEMENT.
Association Discusses the 18th Street
Problem and Question Of School
Accommodations.

The members Of the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association are determined to
get a park at the northwest corner of
14th street and Columbia road. and again
last night they went on record as heartily
In favor Of renewed effort in that direc-
ton.
Although several apartment houses have
been built on the lot since the members
Of the association first started the effort
to get Congress to purchase the tract for
park purposes. II is pointed out that these
buildings are located In the center of the
plat and facing on Columbia road. and
will permit of a public playground at the
west end and a park at the corner Of 18th
street and Columbia road. Secretary
James Z. West Of the playground associa-
ton is said to be heartily in favor Of es-
tablishing a playground in the section,
and ii Is hoped that with the association
and the playground leaders acting In
unison that something definite can be &C
complished.
Shortly after the meeting Of the associa-
ton opened last night the question as to
the time the District Is to take in the
completion of 18th street northwest. from
Clifton north 10 Columbia road. was taken
up and discussed at some length. Many
Of the members declared that the delay
was irritating to people who live along
the street within the boundary named
and that the Commissioners should be
asked as to why the street could not be
finished up within a short time. This was
decided upon. 1t was also declared that
Congress should reclaim the Anacostia
fats.
Lack Of School Facilities.
The question of schools in the Columbia
Heights section was also discussed at
some length. 1t was pointed out that
the four-room addition to the Monroe
School ordered months ago has not even
been begun and the addition to the John
son school. although erected. remains in
an unfinished condition.
1t was resolved in view Of these facts
that 1t Is detrimental to the school prog
ress Of many of the children CT the COM
munity, and 1t was resolved to urgently
ask the Commissioners to exercise their
prerogative in expediting the work on
these two buildings SO that they shall be
in proper shape for the early acccmmo-
dalton of pupils.
