of william Drury. a grover. of 23e L
street northeast, Is recovering from the
third attempt she has made to end her
nfe.
The couple had been separated for
some time. and last night as Drury drove
up in buggy to Second and C streets
northeast to keep an appointment with
his wife. Mrs. Drury drew a bottle of
cresote from her handbag and swal-
lowed part OF the contents. Her hus-
band assisted her to a nearby drug
store. An. ambulance was called and
she was taken to the hospital where II
was said she would recover.
Mrs. Drury had been living in Alex

believed to have been responsible for the
young woman's determination to die.
The police say that three years ago
Mrs. Drury tried suicide, by cutting her
wrist with glass. About year ago she
was taken to q hospital from an address

NINE. ALMA GLUCK
LEAVES HUSBAND
FOR SAKE OF ART
Long-Expected Divorce Is
Finally Asked by Young
Operate Soprano.

Of her domestic ties, through the d.
vorce courts. Friends, however. de-
clared that the action was not un-
expected.
In this case the husband occupies the
tragic role Of "excess baggage in the
parlance OF Broadway. As an insurance
salesman he proved a very successful
husband to a pretty. vivacious young
wife, who had never entered theater
until size was married. With their
baby. girl. Abigail. they had charm

praised by the critics. Fame pounced
upon her after the initial appearance
at the New Theater In the role OF
Sophie IN Massenet's "Werther.'
For almost year the young wife
and mother, who was also the famed
artiste. apparently struggled between
the dual lives. But 1t appears that
the plodding husband, whose crown
Of white hair had drawn upon him

DESTROY the Buzzard

One Of the most important measure
That should be brought before tn
legislature CT the Yariaus Souther
States is one that will provide for tn
determination of that filthy bird, tn
tlZZard. No time should be lost in tn
presentation of such law as will i1
sure the extinction Of this scaVengel
and the residents Of the rural district
for preservation should make it a poin
to so instruct their representatives il
the law making bodies that there shall
be no doubt as to the passage Of tn
necessary measure.
This magazine has drawn attention
heretofore to the fact that these pest:
are mainly responsible for the carrying
of diseases that are destroying millions
OF dollars worth of livestock annually
Some livestock sanitary officials have
also drawn attention to the menace
the presence Of these birds causes to
the breeder of thoroughbred livestock
but as yet no action has been taken,
and in some Of the states this bird is
actually protected by laws that, for
SAme unknown or mistaken reason i'm.
pose a penalty for their destruction.
Livestock sanitary laws are framed
making it obligatory to destroy car.
cases Of diseased animals. Quaran.
tines are ordered and other means
pointed cut for protecting livestock
from their fatal diseases. Large sums
OF money are expended in making
Serums and in other ways efforts are
made to protect the livestock, but up
to the present time the worst enemy of
the hogs, cattle and other animals en-.
joys its freedom and immunity from
molestation, authorized by law to go
forth and spread disease where it wills.
Of what use are guarantees and
other methods for protecting animals
and preventing the spread Of disease
when the buZzard is permitted 10 carry
the germs Of cholera or Charlton to the
herd of finely bred Berkshires or
Jerseys? AS well attempt to prevent
an areoplana from dropping nitro
glycerine into the thickly settled city
by draWingsa Chalkline around it as to
attempt to prevent hog cholera by
drawing quarantine line around
farm when the buZzard can drop the |
germs directly into the finely bred herd |
of hogs.
Now that attention has been drawn
to the buzZarl as the principal carrier
of these dreaded diseases much of the
mystery of their rapid spread has been
dispelled and those who have been
losers are awakening to the fact that
this must be stopped. Only recently it
has been found that buzzards were re.
Sponsible for an outbreak of disease in
the western part of Louisiana that de.
Stroyed whole herds of hogs. In one
instance the owner lost all of his finely
bred herd except one in less than week.
The weakest Ink in chain is the
OF strength of the whole, SO
that the livestock protection measures
already adopted must be useless so long
as the buZzard is permitted to exist.
Close this break as soon as possible
and thus make the barrier against out.
breaks Of disease as impregnable as
as possible. Insist that the legislators
pass laws that will insure the destruc.
ton OF the buzzard at the very next
session of the legislature, and save the
South the loss of millions of dollars
