Late yesterday evening Upshur and

Thoughts on the Times
Written for THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL by James T. crozier.

The days are getting shorter now
And fall is nearly here
Straw hats viii soon be in the NOW
Until another year.
For If a man is wearing one
When hats have been called in
He'll surely have some hddies fun,
And maybe lose the rim.
The DAYS will soon be getting cool.
The leaves begin TO fall;
And many nice things as a rule
Cannot be had at all.
A dollar bill will not be much
To buy something to eat.
Unless it's scrapple. tripe or such;
Il won't go far for meat.
And butter. eggs and many things
Are nearly out Of sight.
I guess If us poor folks had wings
We'd hy away some night
And try and find some other land.
Where folks don't need their coats
When we could either sit or stand
And feed on Mothers Oats.
But let us trust our guide and frienI
Who promises to care
For us until we reach the end,
No matter where we are.
So let it rain or hail or snow,
or things be cheap or dear;
Our food is sure where e'er we go.
That friend is always near.

Sayre Had Brilliant College
Career and Is Deep Student
of Law and Politics.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Miss Jes-
sic Woodrow Wilson, always the
chum and admirer of her father, the
President, has not departed from this
role in the circumstances surround
ing her selection OF a husband. For
one thing Washington society has
discovered, with a collective gasp OF
surprise, that Francis Bowes Sayre,
the man OF her choice. is a younger
replica Of her famous father. possess
ing the same asceticism OF counte-
nance, the same brow, nose, chin,
eyes. and all
For another thing. Miss Wilson fol-
lows her father in laughing down the
time-woFn superstition regarding the
unluckiness of thirteen. 1t matters
not to her that she will be the thir-
teenth White House bride in the
year 1918.
Admiration for Father Deep.
All Washington to-day, following
its discovery that Sayre possesses
something like the Wilson physiog-
nomy, is wondering whether that fact
had not a great deal TO do with Miss
Jessie's capitulation to the young
lawyers suit. Her admiration for her
father is profound. as is that of the
entire Wilson family
Never did hero worship exist in so
marked a degree as in the family Of
the President, with the President as
the figure for alteration. And now,
after the first shock OF discovery,
Washington society is beginning TO
pass the remark that II is nothing
but natural that a Wilson girl should
marry man like her father.
Young Sayre's career has been laid
along lines Identical with the early
career Of the President. A brilliant
college record, the reputation achiev
ed of scholar and a leader, a vigor-
GUS plunge into laval this he has
done, just as Woodrow Wilson did
before him.
Like Woodrow Wilson, too, his pre-
objections have been toward the part
Of law in political economy and in
sociology
1t was through his interest in So
cial betterment work that he and
Miss Jessie Wilson acquired their at
taChment.
Miss Wilson Prominent Worker.
Miss Wilson has been prominent in
work Of this kind, being member of
the national executive board of the
Y. w c. A. In this capacity she
visited the Night Court for Women
In New York City, together with Mrs
J. Borden Hartman last winter. She
also visited the Children's Court. In
February Miss Wilson addressed the
Legislature of Delaware in behalf of
ten-hour law for working women.
The Legislature passed the bill In
Richmond, Va, last year, Miss Wilson

NURSE WHO WE'D
To SAVE MANS
LIFE SUES HIM
But Woman Who Repents Action
Is Denied a Divorce Decree
by Court.

LOS ANGELES, July 5-which7
Marriage and the saving OF a human
life or refusal and the moral respon-
sibility Of its loss?
This was the question Mrs. Dorothy
Lander, a pretty 20-year- nurse,
faced in the operating room Of the
Clara Barton Hospital when she
agreed to become the wife of Kirk G.
Lander. from whom she now seeks
her liberty.
She testified IN Judge Monroe S
court that she married Lander to save
his life.
This strange romance was reveale
by the young woman as a witness In
her own behalf Her husband, she
said. was a patient at the Clara Bar
ton Hospital. She was his nurse and
had attended him for ten days.
He suffered relapse and an opera
ton was declared by the attending
physicians to be necessary to save his
life. He was placed upon the operat-
ing table, but refused TO submit 70
the operation until he had seen his
nurse.
When she appeared, he told her that
he loved her-that life without her
was not worth living. II she prom
Used to marry him he would submit
to the operation necessary to save his
life, he said, and II she refused he
would die.
The operation was successful and
two days later the couple were mar
ried. Mrs Lander sought a divorce
on the grounds of non support, al
though she admitted that she had
never lived with her husband, who
contested the action.
Judge Monroe held that the young
woman had failed to make out a case
legally Mrs Lander was heartbroken
when the court denied the decree.

address an overflow meeting.
President Wilson's career has been
strangely intermingled with the sup
posedly unlucky number thirteen, and

teenth White House bride,
But the daughter Of the President
is not one of those persons who de-

He is 2S years old, an admirer of for

President at Summer
Capital Seeking Quiet.

WINDSOR, VT. July 5.-President
Wilson arrived here at 1850 a. m. to-
day to spend the summer. He was
met by Mrs. Wilson and two of his
daughters. and the party motored TO
the Summer White House at Cornish,
n. H. three miles away.
Upon arrival at the Summer White
House the President gave orders that
no newspaper correspondents or pho
tographers were to be admitted on
any pretext. The President said he
was in Cornish to take a rest and
that he would transact no official
business nor even consider matters
which would tend to disturb his brief
vacation.

ours the President said he would re
turn to Washington. but he would not

Plunges Off Fourth
Story; Spike Hooks
In His Pants; Saved
Thrown by Falling Plank, Man Hangs
Head Downward Until His
Rescuers Arrive.

Los ANGELES, July 5.-W. E.
Duffessy, a workman employed in the
construction Of the new Braley Build
ing at Pasadena, owes his life to the
strength Of his overalls, which pre-
vented him from being hurled from
the fourth story Of the building.
Duffessy was struck on the head by
a plank dropped by a workman on
the floor above him. He was thrown
down the improvised elevator shaft
headfirst, but after falling to the third
floor his overalls caught on a pro-
truding spike and held him steadfast.
He remained in this position with
his head down until several work
men who witnessed the accident hur-
rledly made their way with the aid
OF a rope, to where he was hanging
and hauled him to a place OF safety.

KIMBALL SEAT
Of WAR FOR ALL
NEW COUNTIES
Advertisements and Maps Cover
Lobbies of Hotel Which Is
Thronged by Legislators.

Strangers entering the Kimball
House lobby are apt to conclude that
the business in chief of the Geor-
gia Legislature is to create new coun-
ties. PlaCards, posters, banners and
maps are everywhere. each setting
forth advantages bound to accrue to
the State at large il some particular
locality is given local self-govern-
ment and some thriving village au-
thorized to construct a county court
house
Every county that hopes TO be has
a room in the Kimball House, an ad-
vertising scheme in the lobby and a
few favored sons scattering argu-
tates and looks at one of the maps,
posters, placards. banners or bulle-
tins is sure to be button holed and
given an advisory talk.
Among the prospective counties
whose advertisements embelllsh the
Kimbsll House lobby are Morris,
GriEgs Barrow, Tate, Hansell, Har-
deman, Gambler. Warner. Hampton,
Atkinson Milledge, Northen, Evans
and Onewall-fourteen in num-
Der.
Every would-be county on its post
er, or map, sets forth a reason for
seeking separate existence, and some
of these reasons are decidedly novel
For instance. Morris County uses this
plea: Honor the name Of Robert
Morris, the man whose credit made
American independence possible"
Griggs County takes in all people
who want a new county" Hansell
County posters proclaim that Han
sell County has merit" Hampton
County boosters have put up the
reason, We need it"
