NEW YORK, April IA new
form of dip somania has been re.
spolsible for a great increase In the
consumption Of aleohol, an oficial Of
the United f5fktes Industrial Alcohol
company said recently. II is the tam
90 craze.
The sales of the company during
the last three months have run far
ahead OF those Of any previous quar-.
ter This Is due to the heavy demand
for photograph records to supply
dance music. These records are made
OF q composition which requires the
use OF denatured alcohol as q solvent.
The manufacturers Of talking ma
chiree have been using twice az
mucl, alcohol a. they did year ago.
The increase In use Of autos and
gas engines, which require denatur'
ed alcohol for decarborizihg cylinders
IS given as another reason for the
increased earnings Of the company.

Kills His Wife AS Crowds Gaze.

Simeon G. Gowan, 80 years old, chauf
feur, shortly before O'Clock last Saturda,
evening shot and instantly killed his wife
Dorothy, and wounded Frank H. Cottier, {
lawyer, whom he alleges is responsible fol
his marital troubles.
Before her marriage Mrs. Gowan wa.
Miss Dorothy Abbott Harriss, daughter Of
Mr.. Richard Harriss, who resides about q
mile east of Rockville. She was twenty.
seven years old.
The tragedy was enacted on F street
between Fifth and Sixth streets northwest
Washington, as hundreds of busy shoppers
were hurryine home. Three shots were
fired, two entering the woman's body, and
the other hitting Cottier in the right leg
just above the knee.
Jewel Henderson, son of tobacco mer-
chant. at Ninth and F streets northwest
came along in his automobile directly after
the shooting. and the woman was hurried
to Emergency Hospital, but according to
surgeons. she died instantly. One ball
penetrated both lungs, while the second
ploughed through her left arm and lodged
in the shoulder.
Two policemen were aboard a street car
and were within few feet of where the
tragedy occurred Upon hearing the rapid
fire of the revolver they placed Gowan
under arrest
At the time the policemen got off the
car Gowan and COttier were seen in the
doorway of tobacco store, midway in the
square on the north side, wrestling over
the smoking revolver. The policemen got
the gun away from GOwan and placed him
under arrest. Cottier went to Casualty
Hospital. where his wound was treated.
At the police station Gowan told his
story. He said:
81 had rather be in hell than to live
again through what have had to endure
the past few months. We were married
seven years ago. About seven months ago
we separated. have watched and soen.
He is the man that separated us. tried
to shoot him, and if missed him it was my
fault. certainly did try to kill him.
Il saw them come out of his office. NV
home is broken up. There was nothing
else to live for. After | was separated
went away for two months. and he was
with her most all of this time am not
the best fellow in the world, nor the worst
one, and stood all that was possible for a
man to stand"
Cottier denies there had been any i'm
proper relations between himself and Cow
ans wife. He claims he had been help
ing friend to her, knew her for ten years,
and that she worked for him before she
married GOwan.
Several months ago Gowan was in court
for nonsupport of his child, Susan, six
years old. Cottier represented his wife.
1t is alleged warrant had been issued for
the re-arrest of GOwan on the ground he
did not provide for his wife.
1t is also said Mrs Gowan was preparing
divorce proceeding against her husband
and COttier was acting as her attorney.

s. s. Needs Funds.

Mr.. Editor What has become of the
friends and supporters of the Social Ser
vice League of Montgomery County, upon
whom we are still absolutely dependent
for the necessary funds to maintain the
work of our visiting nurse and other phil
anthropic efforts carried on by the League
within the county?
Notwithstanding that Mrs. Means. our
devoted nurse, generously took month s
leave without pay this summer, and our
busy secretary, Miss Dove, would accept
but little more than half her modest COM
pensation, we are still in debt over 5000,
with the present months accounts in ad-
dition to be provided for.
The proposed sanitarium for INDECENT
tuberculosis cases is still far from being a
reality. There are some indications that
additional legislation of more mandatory
character may be necessary to effect its
establishment even in the most modest
and inexpensive form. The need of the
helpful remedial and preventive work of
our nurse is constantly pressing. 1t would
be calamity to many poor households,
white and colored, if her work should Of
necessity be even suspended for a few
| months.
Will not each of you who read these
lines feel the personal responsible that
rests on each of us to contribute his mite
in this emergency?
Wrap dime or a quarter in piece OF
stout paper and mail to the Social Service
League, Rockville, Nd" One dollar will
make you member of the League. Send
more If you can; send ALL you can for
the cause of poor humanity in Montgomery
County. Eight hundred quarters would
mean more to the League than one check
for 5000; but we want the checks too.
Draw payable to Joseph Reading, Treas
urer.
