Cupid May Patch
 Up Troubles of
 Husband and Wife
Meantime, Husband is Out on Bonds of $1,OO0 For Non-
 Support and Perjury

MT. and Mrs. Elmer Whetstine, whose marital troubles recently led to Whetstine's trial for non-support, also to his arrest for perjury in connection with his testimony during the trial, are expected to be reconciled.
 What is regarded as step prelim- mary to this state of affairs was taken in the city court today when Attorney George Mara, counsel for Whetstine, announced that his client desired to support his wife, and wish ed to withdraw his appeal from a prior judgment of the court.
 Last week he was ordered to fur nish bail of $500 to guarantee the pay ment of $S per week to his wife. He appealed from this judgment and fur nished bail of $500 through his father, for his appearance in the Common Pleas court Today he had the ap- peal bond withdrawn, and then post ed bond of $500 for the support of his wife.
 The perjury charge, brought up to- day was not tried out in the city court Attorney Mara entered a de- murrer, for the purpose of taking the case at once to the Superior court, and Judge Foster everything the de- murrer held the accused in bail of $500 on the perjury charge.
 After furnishing bonds of $500 for the non-support charge. and $500 for his appearance in the Superior court on the perjury charge, Whetstine was not detained.
 The alleged perjury consisted of his denial of alleged intimacy with an unknown woman. This was followed by testimony of detectives giving him the lie

PLEAS ON DOGS
Can Be Removed By the Use of
 Vacuum Cleaners

Washington, Aug. 3.-Is your dog covered with fleas? Does the family cat sit around all day making futile and intellectual stabs with it's hind legs at inaccessible places on it's an atomy in an effort to catch elusive imals that belong to the family zoo also give evidence of being inhabited by the biting parasites? Then use a vacuum cleaner.
 All the dog soap and cat soap on the market is worthless when com pared to the common or garden va riety of vacuum cleaner, according to
 statement of c. Barnwelf Robinson, dean of the United States College of Veterinary Surgery of this city. The doctor has been experimenting for years in a vain effort to rid "Pedicu-
 lus," the surgery's pet cat. of the nu-
 merous fleas which bothered her. cleaner was being used to withdraw the surplus dirt from the floor of the
 animal hospital, one of the attendants playfully ran the nozzle over the cats back. At first the feline resented
 the attack, but, upon second thought
 she stayed and the operation was re-
 stunned. It was found that a large
 number of fleas that had found a resting place in "Pediculus' ' fur had
 been killed by the application of the cleaner From that time on, pr. Rob- inson veraciouSly asserts that the cat
 voluntarily backs up to the cleaner
 to receive her daily dry bath.
 Dr. Robinson has found that the
 vacuum apparatus is a great success
 to spread the news broadcast so that
 all other animal owners-as we'll as
 the animals themselves-may profit
 by the accidental discovery.

LIFE SAVERS
 AT SEASIDE
 RESCUE TWO
Girls Had Gone Beyond Depth and Lost Hold
 on Life Line
Messrs. Clark and Heating Get Out in Life Boat
 and Save Them

While hundreds of bathers looked on. two little girls, Marie Peck of 844 Kossuth street, and May McKen- zie of 225 Harriet street, were res cued from drowning at Seaside park yesterday afternoon. Vice-Commo- dore Ernest A. Clark of the Volun- teer Life Saving corps and James Keating were the rescuers end they were roundly cheered as they came ashore.
 The girls arrived at the public bath houses shortly before o'clock and went for a dip in the surf. They could not swim but padded about IT the water for a short time. Then they seized the life line and swung themselves back and forth. They frequently went in water above their heads but were in no danger so long as they clung to- the line.
 Finally as a big wave submerged them, the girls lost their hold on the line and sank in the water. They screamed for help but there was no body near them at the time. The girls managed to grab buoy and sinking the second time.
 Meanwhile Vice-Commodore Clark and James Heating launched the life boat and started to the rescue. The girls had become exhausted and had lost their grip on the buoy when the boat reached them. The men put the girls in the boat and >hastened back to shore. ReStoratives were ad- n1inistered and in short time Miss Peck and Miss Mckenzie were able to put on their street clothes. They then left for their homes after thank ing their reScuerS.
 The Volunteer Life Saving corps has saved g. number of lives at Sea- side this summer and expect to have a busy time this month as the num- Der of bathers is largest during this period.

sHERMAN's LIVING LIKENESS
Iowan's Unpleasant Experiences in the
 National Capital

Washington, August 3-"This is a pretty nice town, but I'm never go- ing to come back until Jim Sherman ceases to be vice-president."
 This is the private opinion of Wm. P. Chambers, of Corwith, Iowa, pub licly expressed after day of nerve racking experiences in the course of which he was mistaken for Sunny Jim" by about two out of three per sons who spoke to him.
 Chambers arrived in Washington after a motor trip from his home town and started in to see the sights. Leaving his hotel he strolled down Pennsylvania avenue about noon and almost immediately met a tall indi- vidual in frock coat and silk hat who inquired: ''Ah, MT Vice-Pres- ident, aren't you little late for the session to-day?"
 MT. Chambers thought it a little strange that anyone in Washington should know that he was vice-presi- dent of the Farmers and Merchants Bank at Britt Iowa, but he did not protest.
 A little later he wandered up to the Capitol to see the two senators from his native state, but, after spend- ing strenuous half hour, answering questions addressed to him by per sons who mistook him for the presid- ing officer of the Senate, he left in disgust.
 The likeness between Sunny Jim" and the man from Iowa caused a large amount of comment at the Cap itol and grave fears were expressed lest the two BromioS should get mix ed up and no one would be sure which was which. According to Chambers statement he was invited to lunch nine times by members of the House who had known the Vice President when he was in that branch of the legislature and he says that the clerks at the hotels in New York and this city were so sure that he the nation that they almost insisted that he sign his real name" on the registers.
 Finally MT. Chambers got so peev- ed that he climbed into his buzz wag- on and Washington will see him no more until after a change in the pres ent administration, for he does not consider it joke to be a Living Like ness. Just as the Iowan's machine was passing out of the city the last mistake took place. One of the traf fic squad, who had an idea that the automobile was exceeding the speed limit, rode up to the machine and started to inform the occupant that he would have to go with him to the station house. When Mr.. Chambers lifted his~ goggles however, the po- liceman gasped, bowed and ejaculat- ed:
 Excuse me. MT. Sherman, I didn't know it was. you"
 Whereupoh Chambers smiled grim ly and resumed his 1,500-mile journey homeward.
