A School for Wives,

The familiar answer to the ques.
ton how husbands may be kept hap.
py and good natured is: Feed the
brute" But it is not wholly salts
factory answer. and its origin, we
believe, is literary rather than prac-
teal. There is feeding and feeding.
How about the quality of the food
and the cost? In millions of homes
economy in the kitchen is a very i'm
portant consideration, and as for the
art of preparing palatable and appe.
tizing dishes and serving them taste.
fully it is VIGOROUSLY rare.
The idea, then, OF starting cook.
ing and housekeeping school for
wives, mothers and sweethearts is an
excellent one. Even husbands who
object to clubs and other outside ac-
tiyities will be glad to see their wives
enroll themselves as pupils of the
new vacation school,
In some cities certain small neigh
borhood centers are attempting the
teaching of housekeeping to the wo
men of the poor and alien. Some OF
the larger social settlements have
classes in cooking for women and
girls of all ages. But, of course,
there is plenty of room for more and
better organized cooking schools, ard
the demand for them Is bound to
grow as their utility gains recogni-
ton Domestic and marital peace
and harmony depend on the kitchen
and the dining-room table much more
than some dreamy idealists are will
ing to admit. Technical schools and
hospitals are devoting more and
more attention to dietetics. and some
physicians assert that in few years
housekeeping will be revolutionized
as the result of the growth of this
science and art, 1t is good thing
to help along the revolution 10

Sewing In Sleeves.

In making the plain tailored shirt
and smart, mistakes in fitting show
more than they do in fancy lingeri0
waist of sheer material One of tho
most common of mistakes in making
shirtwaists of any kind is cutting the
shoulder seam too long. DO not think
that by cutting your shoulder seam
extra long you can give the wide Ell
feet to the shoulders. The shoulder
must never overlap the top Of the
arm, for II you do this the sleeve will
lep over and give an exceedingly I'M
tidy look to the waist, while it will
not gain the broad shouldered effect
which has been striven for, Tie
shorter length shoulder seam will
hold the sleeve up to the top line o.
the arms eye, thus throwing the full
ness of the sleeve to the top, thus CIV
ing a nice square line across the
shoulders.
There viii be no mistake in putting
In the sleeves If the seam is made to
run in a straight line from the thumb
to the armpit when the arm is held
out straight from the shoulder. Many
iamateur sewers do not know just
where to join the sleeve seam to the
waist and just guess at it, with the
result that it is either too high or
too low, and the sleeve is constantly
wrink.ed and twisted.

CHerald Specially

Annapolis, Nd, July 19.-The board
of officers appointed to reinvestigate
the death of Second Lieut. James SUIT
ton of the Marine Corps, who was
mysteriously shot in Annapolis on
October IS, 1907, met here today to
begin the taking 'of testimony. The
board is composed of Commander Jno.
Wood, U. S. N; Major w. c. Neville,
U. S. NJ c.; Lieut. H. NJ Jensen, U.
S. N, and Major Harry Leonard, U.
S. M. c., judge advocate general.
Lieut.. Sutton was killed by pistol
shot after an alleged quarrel with a
brother officer. Sutton, accompanied
by several other officers, was return
ing to the naval academy after at
tending a dance at Carvel Hall in An
napolis. A quarrel developed on the
way, which later led to a fist fight.
The evidence adduced by the first
court of inquiry showed that Sutton
went to his quarters and obtained his
service revolver with the intention of
shooting his antagonist He fired at
one of his former companions, Sec
ond Lieut.. r. E. Adams, but did not
strike him. Lieut.. Rocker, another
member of the party, went to Adams's
s-.asos..Esa and was dazed by a bull
let 7fom Sdttons pistol, which struck
Rocker in the chest, but did not pen
citrate his body. Somebody called out
Rocker is dead!" Then Sutton, ac
cording to the evidence, drew an
other revolver and shot himself in
the head. He was hurried to the
Academy Hospital, but died within
short time.
The court of inquiry held shortly
after Lieut.. Sutton's death decided
that he had committed suicide. Mrs.
James N. Sutton, the young officers
mother, was dissatisfied with the YER
dict of the court, and at her request
the navy department ordered a sec
ond investigation of the affair. One
of the principal witnesses in the in
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1909-07-19

quiry; Lieut.. R. E, Adams, has recent
" been stationed at Sea Girt, N. J.
Lieut.. Rocker, who also figured
prominently in the affray, disappear
ed shortly after the affair and his
present whereabouts are said to be
unknown.
There is no doubt that the investi-
eating board which assembled today
will make every effort to bring out
the facts of the tragedy, and either
substantiate the finding of the first
board that Lieut.. Sutton committed
suicide, that the public mind will be
satisfied, or bring to trial any who
may have had a hand in his death,
if it should be found that it was by
other than his own hands. William
Owings, the chauffer who drove the
party on the fatal night, will be an
important witness He has stated
positively that Sutton did not attack
Lieut. Adams first, but that Lieut..
Adams attacked Lieut.. Sutton and
repeated the attack before Lieut.. SUIT
ton agreed to fight him.
Other civilian witnesses will be at
least two of the employees of Carval
Hall, where Lieut.. Sutton and his
brother officers attended a dance on
the night of the tragedy. The en-
ployes will, it is reliably understood,
contradict the testimony before the
first Investigators in several impor
tant matters and make statements
tending to show that Lieut.. Sutton
was sought out by the other officers
that night instead of forcing himself
on them, as was understood
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1909-07-19
