GRASS WIDOW
DESCRIBES HER
HEART THR0BS
SAYS WIVES GO CRAZY IN
A HURRY; "ALL MEN
ARE FOOLS

New York, April 24.--The heart
throbs of grass widow who wrote
that She could not go six months with
out a husband provided interesting
testimony yesterday in the Queens
county supreme court, Long Island
City, where Mrs. Helen M. Usbeck
asked Justice Garretson for a separa-
tion from George F. Usbeck, president
of the Blur Piano company, of the
Bronx. Mrs. Usbeck lives at No. sol
West 10th street, Manhattan. Mr..
Usbeck, whose Iowa divorce in 1918
is under scrutiny, married Mrs. Helen
F. Cousart, of Belford, N. j., soon
thereafter and, he testified, is living
with her at No. 3050 Broadway.
After Mrs. Usbeck, a most attrac-
tive and yivacious young woman, had
testified that they were married four
teen years ago and had son thirteen
years old, and that they had been sep
arated since 1912, first by agreement
for one year, Mr.. Usbeck's counsel
suddenly produced several letters ad-
dressed to him and asked if she had
written them. She said she had, but
that 1t was purely to make her hus-
band jealous and cause him to return
to her.

just so far and then give them the
mitt. They tell me that during my
enforced widowhood that l am daily

and ! could set any number of wives

Do you imagine that | can go six |
months without husband? Guess /

and they have fallen"
In another she wrote that she had
promised her caresses to no fewer thanl
three men and in others were more II
statements of her remarkable love af- II
fairs with different men. In this CON
nection she said her husband had II
begged her to obtain divorce from II
him, promising not to contest it and II
to pay liberal alimony.
John H. Usbeck, Bronx grocer and II
brother of the defendant, was flatly
informed by Justice Garretson that he
was not believed when he testified
that after the trial separation" of his
brother and Mrs. Usbeck he had called
upon her twice, and hugged and kissed
her, and that they had otherwise seri-
ously misconducted themselves.
Kisses Quite Passionateless.
While this brother testified his own
wife, the mother of three children, was
asked to leave the court room. When
ne had finished his unsupported ac.
cusations his wife testified that on one
occasion, when Mrs. Helen Usbeck
,alled at their home, she saw her hus.
,and kiss her on the cheek Mrs. Helen
Jsbeck testified this was true. that
she had gone TO John Fl. Usbeck for
in her trouble with his
brother, and that in consoling her he
lad bestowed brotherly and quite
,assionateless kiss upon her cheek.
In reserving decision Justice Garret.
son said he did not believe the story
old by Usbeck's brother and that he
would inquire into the legality of the
owa divorce. Usbeck testified that
while travelling in Iowa for his COM

COTTON OUTLOOK BRIGHT,
ENPE1T GOOD SALES ut GOOD
PRICES IN NEAR FUTURE.
story OF How the Southern Cotton
Planters lave Saved Themselves by
deduction oil Acreage and Diycrsi-
iication OF Crops.

Washington, March 2I.-That the
outlook for big cotton sales III the
near future at good prices with any
thing like u reasonable curtailment i'm
acreage is exceedingly good at this
time. was the 'financial's story of the
day printed i'm the evenings WASH
ington star.
Showing how cotton has worked out
it's own salvation, The Star said:
One of the greatest questions
offered fnanciers for solution last fall
was the financing Of the greatest cot
ton crop ever aised in the Southern
States. Through the federal reserve
board and a number of leading bank
ers n big guarantee fund was raised
to tide over the banks of the South.
Not "a dollar of the fund was used.
AT that time il was estimated that not
more than $500, 900 bales of cotton
would be taken for export and the
estimates of requirements between
crops for home consumption and ex-
port were generally under IL, 900, OO0
bales.
But the exports up to Friday OF
last week were 6.14S.75O bales, and
cotton is being shipped every day
Last week $4,000 bales were en-
ported; 10000 bales escaping sub
marines were unloaded i'm England and
115.5oo bales went to the continent
This weeks shipments will also be
large.
1T is now estimated hat the re-
quirements from the 1914 cotton croI
would be nearly $4,000. 600 bales.
The final ginning figures of the
government experts show a crop foi
1874 of 15,s73,oO0 running bales
There were 772.OOO bales % linters
indicating a crop of about 16,645, 00C
bales, OF which in sight figures show
l~2.5OO.00 bales. Ii is said thai less
than 10 per cent. OF the crop has
been held over by planters.
With the highest estimate of re-
quirements and the United States but
10 per cent. behind on the 1914 aver
age used. there is still bound to be q
considerable moun of cotton carried
over in warehouses anu by planters
but IL the 25 per cent. reduction In
acreage as planned by Southern plant
ers really m~aterializes the supply OF
cotton available after the garnerinc
OF the 1915 crop will be none too large
for the demand. Especially with for
eign nations likely To be in the market
for larger quantities than ever before
in the rehabilitation following the
European struggle.
Thus the great Southern staple
cotton. because OF the great demand
for it in lines OF a and even FOL
its use In war, has worked out its
salvation from one of the most
serious appearing problems that over
production and untoward conditions
nave eve faced"
