Observations by Effie Shannon for
Benefit Of Women.

Miss Efle Shannon. who plays Ma
rise In The Thief" has been com
PEELED. through the eXigencies of the
role. to study many phases OF wonl'
ans attitude in regard to man. Ihe
entire argument OF The Thief Is 10
show TO what eAemities a woman
will go to hold tht interest OF the man
she loves. In thSparticular case the
woman becomes thief and Miss
Shannon after many months Of keen
observation has determined that this
radical measure Is not necessary. ana
she has arranged a formula whereby
legal crimes may be substituted by
common sense.
This is Miss Shannon's collection
Of Dos. Don'ts and Nevers:
Never let your husband believe
that your interest in other men has
subsidized completely.
Never overlook the coquetry OF
clothes. Your husband may not know
the difference between broadcoth and
calico, but he feels 1t.
DO not forget that tears. seedlings
and threats are valuable aids. but they
should not be used continuously lest
they lose their force.
DO not forget that the best OF love
IL three-four.hs physical and one
fourth spiritual. ldealists may say
otherwise. but idealistic husbands
rarely exist.
DO not forget that the last refuge
for q wife is the ability TO inspire rear
This may cause unhappiness. but fear
will hold man when other means
fail.
Never neglect the material advan'
tages Of silence A silent wife during
a coujugal quarrel will surprise the
most sophisticated Of men.
Never admit to your husband thar
your best friend dresses mere sDar'!y
than you. nor inform him that she
doesn't. A wife will always suffer by
these indiscreet comparisons When
In doubt dodge the issue.

Inspector McCann
 Tried for Grating
Special from United Press1

Special from United Press)
 Chicago, July 27.-When the trial of Police Inspector McCann was called in Judge McShurley's court this morn ing it was believed that the defense would ask for a continuance. Attor- ney Underwood for McCann stated be- fore court convened that he was not prepared for the trial inasmuch as copies of the indictments against Mc- Cam had not been served upon the defendant and that he would insist that the court set forward the date of the trial at least two weeks.
 While there has been no let-up in the activities of the officials now prob ing alleged bribery of police officials for the protection of vice no new de- velopments have been announced.
 Inasmuch as there is no regular jury scheduled for August, the investi- gation probably will extend over into September. The criminal court build ing was crowded again this morning with additiona l witnesses summoned by the states attorney. Thus far the extension of the Grand Jury probe in to the South Side Levee district has resulted in no indictments. It is said however, that the Grand Jury will re- port some action to-day. The lid has been clamped down hard in all of the levee districts as the result of the investigation and all were quieter last night than for many years

 White Plains, July 27.-District At torney Jerome today attacked the ex- pert testimony of Harry Thaw's alien ists. With pr. Brftton Evans the alienist, on the stand, Jerome forced into the case a report which Dr. Evans had once made to Clifford W. Hart ridge, Thaw's former lawyer, in which he said Thaw was insane and a. Suf- ferer from Drain storms" He con- fused the alienist at many points and when he had finished with him, just before the monday recess, he had se- cured many important points against the slayer of Stanford White.
 Jerome made pr. Evans admit that his report as to Thaw's sanity was made upon a report made to him by Partridge, and not by an examination of the prisoner. He was unable, how ever, to change Dr. Evans belief that Thaw is perfectly sane now and that he was never a sufferer from para noia-

 Dr. Brftton Evans, Thaw's a1ienist, was on the stand when the trial was resumed this morning. Thaw sat at Jerome's side when the case was called. The two sat and talked and smiled at each others sallies as though they were good friends. It is expect ed Thaw will take the stand this aft ernoon. As soon as Dr. Evans has finished his testimony, Morschauser will call his other alienfSt, Dr. Harris, and then call two more unlimportant Iaymen, following which Thaw will be called.

In spite of all :he efforts of the hotel people and the cottagers, to save the structures, the fire practically burned itself out
 For a time it was feared the whole of the structures on Prouts Neck would go in which case the loss would have reached a much greater amount Hard work with the buckets, however, and fortunate shift of the wind pre- vented the further spread of the flames
