CRUSADE STARTED AGAINST FUNNY SHEETS
Comic Supplements Debasng the Artistic Taste and
Lowering Standards of Humour.-Why Do
Women Bother About Men?

No. it's a mistake to bother about
the men.
Statistics say they aren't dying out
Just as many as ever. They caucus
in spots-that's ALL
Men are well enough in their place
Their place is to fetch and carry. Let
women remember this and there1l be
lots more enjoyment all around.
This, it must be admitted, has little
to do with the hideous comic supple
ment.
Readers of the Sunday Star have
within the past months been charmed
with page in the magazine section
devoted to picturing the old fables and
fairy tales-drawn by Mrs. Brandt
Steele daughterin-law Of r. c. Steele,
the dean of Indiana resident artists.
Mrs. Steele herself is an artist Of
versatility and has worked in varying
media. designing of bookplates and art
glass windows, for one thing. and
comes of one Of the best" families in
the state. the McKays. who have ever
interested Themselves, and been con-
spicuous. in the literary, artistic and
public life of Indiana
Mrs. Steele's aunt, Miss Mary Mich
olson. is one of the leading educators
of the country and now a member of
the Indianapolis School Board-one of
the very few women in America
who occupy such a position
Mrs. steele's fancy is a charming
one, her learning catholic and her ar
tistic acumen profound.
Ii the subject matter has been a lit.
tie beyond those who must be wooed
from the crude Vaccinations of the
funny papers"-that is because this
is venture which has not yet quite
found itself.
1t is in an experimental stage.
The same art might be used in the
telling of those exaggerated and still
truthful stories of the everyday life
of the majority with just as alluring
an effect.
The men who do" these funny pa
pers" are gifted, shrewd. and humor-
Gus. They recognize that element in
human nature which delights In con-
templating the grotesque and sar-
donic and they play to it.
All they need to do is to play up to
1t instead of down.
The problem of the comic supple
ment will then be solved

rejected Compulsory Happiness.
In 1889 the inundation OF the Yellow
river caused great suffering in China.
The inferior people not only ''groaned
and murmured." but died by the hun
dreds. In order to raise funds for the
relief Of the survivors the project OF
Hangchow levied a tax on each cup
Of tea sold in the tea houses of the
great city. The ancient capital as
sessed in this arbitrary fashion re-
scented that tax after the manner of the
Bostonians OF 1878. In spite Of the
humane object Of the assessment, the
citizens put boycott on tea. and the
proprietors Of the tea houses cried
out in protest.
The project issued second procla-
nation, in which he assured his people
that happiness was their sure reward
If they cheerfully contributed to this
excellent cause. This agreeable as
surance had no effect on the boy
cotters. and the tax had to be removed
Perhaps thisais the only instance on
record where a cityful Of people were
banded to resist compulsory '.happi-
ness. '-Youth's Companion.

Veal THY FAMILIES
IN DIVORCE TRIAL
Ou Points and Bancrofts of
Delaware in Great L.

ing the possible motion on the part OF
the counsel for either OF the princi-
pals for further delay. the divorce
suit of John Bancroft, Jr., against Mrs.
Madeline du Pont Bancroft, in which
Mrs. Bancroft's two year old son Is
mentioned as correspondent. and the
wife's counter.suit against her hus-
band. will begin tomorrow morning in
the Superior Court OF New Castle
county.
The trial promises to develop into a
great legal battle with the millions Of
the Du Points and the Bancrofts ar
yayed on either side.
Since the suits were filed early last
spring, every effort has been made by
Mr.. Bancroft to have master appoint
ed and the testimony taken in private.
His arguments for q secret trial will
be continued when the case comes up
equally insistent on q trial by jury, in
which the testimony will all be given
in public. Both methods are entirely
legal under the Delaware statutes, and
the one to be used is merely matter
Of judicial discretion.
Society circles in New York, Wash
jngton and Philadelphia are eagerly
watching the development, and in
case OF Jury trial, will hear the SEN
sational disclosures which have long
been limited at.
When the cases were postponed at
the last term of court. William F..
Kurtz, member Of the New Castle
bar. was adopted commissioner to go
to Munich, Germany and take the
testimony Of number Of important
witnesses. Bancroft and his counsel
their mission was not very success
full, as q number of the witnesses re-
fused to talk. and there was no legal
way Of compelling them to do 80.
The divorce suits of the BancrOfts
are the sequel to romantic mar
rage in 1907. when the athletic young
Princeton student and heir to the
Bancroft millions cloped with the
beautiful Madeline Du Pont. favorite
daughter of the millionaire Powder
King" The runaway match was a big
social sensation, but the young couple
were forgiven by their parents and
then went to Germany where Bancroft
was to continue his studies.
1t IL on certain incidents which are
said to have happened during their
stay in Germany that Bancroft bases
his petition for divorce. In his bill
he names as correspondent his wife's
two-yearOld son. whom he calls Max
Heibler," asserting that one Max Heb
Ter, Of Munich, is the father OF the
child.
Mrs. Bancroft bases her counter-suit
on statutory grounds also. naming sew
eral Munich women as correspondents.

Attorney General Johnson is elated

of the states nti-diserimination act
which has been fought through from
the state circuit up TO the highest
court of the land.
The act provides that any person or

4 Narrow Escape

The prompt action of Miles Belcher,

life when her clothing caught fire.
While filling lamp some of the kero-

her noticing it. She struck a match to
light the lamp and the head of the
match flew off and set fire to the kero-

flames before she had been fatally
burned.

Dog Saves Stock

A shepherd dog was the hero of
disastrous prairie fire which swept over
a portion of Trip county, in the Rose
bud country last week. When the fire
had approached the farm of John
Springer his wife ran to the cattle shed
and opened the door so that the cattle
could escape. Before the woman
could drive the cattle from the shed
the fire was so close and the smoke so
dense that she had to run back to the
house and seek shelter in it. But the
dog remained at its post and with
almost human intelligence succeeded in
driving the cattle out of the burning
shed. The animals, frightened by the
fire and smoke, made frantic efforts to
get back into the shed, but the faithful
dog stood guard and kept them out.
When the fire had swept by the cattle
were found alive, although badly singed
but the dog had persisted.

DoInps of Sisseton Court

The case against Jonah Star for the
murder of Roland Judish was dismissed
on motion of the states attorney. In
this case Star was tried with Joe High
Bear last December, and found guilty
of manslaughter in the second degree
and sentenced to four years imprison-
ment at hard labor in the state peni-
Tertiary at Sioux Falls. Upon motion
for a new trial, however, the court held
that the evidence upon which Star was
convicted was insufficient to sustain the
verdict, it being either largely circum-
stantial or the evidence of an accomp-
lice, uncorroborated, and Star was there
fore granted the privilege of a new
trial upon the charge.
The case of the State VS.. William
Rudolph, for the murder of Albert
Mackay, at the depot at Ortley, 5. D.,
in September, was disposed of in short
order when the defendant entered
plea to guilty to the crime of man
slaughter in the second degree, and his
plea was accepted on behalf of the
state, without trial Rudolph will be
sentenced by Judge Sherwood.
The term so far has been taken up
with the trial of an Indian defendant
named Solomon His Gun on charge
of manning. The complaint charges
the defendant with having bitten and
cbewed off the left ear of another
Indian, one Asa Sweet Corn, on
Christmas day year ago. On that
day the two had an alteration of some
sort, in which Sweet Corn without any
question :ost his left ear, as he appeared
in court and exhibited his injured feat
ures to the jury to prove that there is
no semblance of an appendage now
appearing on his head where his ear
should be. The evidence showed that
the two had imbibed over freely of
lemon extract, beverage of which
they were both Unfortunately fond, as
the testimony showed that between
the two they consumed an entire case
of "a small bottles of the liquid previ-
Gus to the encounter which resulted in
the loss of Sweet Corn's audal append
