AN ATLANTA RESTAURANT
FORCED To GUARD
SUGAR BOWLS

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 19,-"Do you
know that Atlanta folks are using
nineteen Jumps of sugar to cup Of
coffee?' asked an uptown restaurant
keeper today.
Impossible" returned the customer,
paying his check THAT many Jumps
wouldn't leave any room for the cot
fee."
Il didn't say they put it in the cot
fee," returned the cafe boss. 4 said
they were using it.
81 noticed week ago that my sugar
bill was running up immensely even
when the high war price was consider
ed, and though some of the servants
were stealing it. l kept watch for a
while.
Then l found that men and women
would serve themselves from the suga"
bowl and follow this up by filling their
pockets with the Jumps. Maybe they
were so worried by the increasing cost
of sugar they determined to make me
supply their home pantry.
But anyway, l was worried. If
spoke to a customer about it he wound
quit eating here. So l solved the prob
lem by abolishing the sugar bowls and
putting three Jumps on a tiny saucer
with every cup of tea or coffee. And
notice that there's never lump left.

Mrs. Hannifn on her front porch,
afraid to enter tn room where her hus-
bands body was lying on the bed.
HE told me he was about to die. He
pulled out his pistol and shot twice
through the floor. Then I ran out ana
afterward l heard him fire again." she
told the officers in broken sobs.
The policemen opened the door and
walked in. They found three bullet
holes in the floor and Hannifn lying

He FIDDLED UP
ON HIS violin

New York, Sept. 19.-Mrs. Ethel Lar
rabee, Jersey City, names no CORES
pondent in the suit for divorce she
has brought against her husband, AL
bert P. Larrabee. She blames his tid-
die.
Mrs. Larrabee is a pretty blonde, IS
years old, and the couple have on s.
year-old daughter, whose custody Mrs.
Larrabee demands. They were ma
ried in 1903 at Kennebec, Me-, and sep
arated at Elizabeth, n. j., three years
ago because, the wife says, Larrabee
had completely switched his devotion
from her to his violin.
They had lived happily until he got
the fiddle fever. He was at his instru-
ment, she says, during every hour
away from business. AS to the quail
ity of his playing, the inference to be
drawn from her complaint is that he
was no Kubelik.
Il never thought" says she, that
beautiful instrument could utter such
unmusical sends. 1t reminded me Of
buzz saw going through a not in a
Maine sawmill"
When Mrs. Larrabee protested that
his music got on her nerves, she says,
he took to staying away from home
altogether, going where he could get
more sympathetic audiences.
