suicide and MURDER
WAVE Sweeps berlin
Mental Depression, Insanity
and Lack OF Proper Food
Held Responsible
CRIME REPORTED
NEARLY EVERY DAY
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
THE HAGUE, July 2.-(By maiD
"A wave of ghastly murders, sui
cides and other crimes of horrible
character, is sweeping Berlin. Men
tai depression or insanity. due in
some instances to the loss of rela-
tives in the war and in others to lack
of proper food, is held to be respon-
slble by German criminologists. Dur
ing the past few weeks a sensational
murder or suicide has occurred nearly
every other day in Berlin. Many Of
these are being hushed up and others
get but scant attention in the Berlin
newspapers because of the over
whelming interest in the war.
Two girls robbed another in a Ber-
lin manicure shop a few days ago. To
escape arrest they tried to hang her
from a chandelier She pleaded to be
cut down. They let her body drop
when she had become unconscious
and coolly hacked her head almost OF
with a razor. Then they packed the
body in a trunk and shipped it to an
other city. The girl murderers were
caught and sentenced.
A brief item in the German papers,
under the caption: "A Love Drama,
revealed a murder in a wealthy Ber-
lin home. A young Russian, who had
lived in Berlin as the servant of
German for seven years, became in
fatuated with the daughter of his en-
ployer and wanted to marry her. She
refused him time and again. One
Sunday morning, while she was alone
in her bedroom, the Russian entered
locked the doors and sprang at her
She escaped his embrace after
struggle and ran into a closet, lock-
ing the door. The Russian fired one
shot through the door, without
wounding the girl. He then at
tempted suicide by shooting himself
in the head. The girls brother. an
army officer. who was at home on
leave, heard the shots and ran into
the room. The Russian seized a pair
Of scissors and stabbed him to death.

PETSY HAD HIS cone,
But he's A mean DOC

We have heard scientists talk about
the intelligence of animals until we
know to a single person that animal
instinct is not the same as animal
intelligence. Not by a long shot.
However, never was the difference
between the two words mace so i'm
pressive as the other day when an
incident happened on the street that
could not help but impress the OBJ
server
Three children ranging in ages
from two and a half to Ave years
went down to the corner drug store
10 buy ice cream cones. II was
very hot day and one on which Ice
cream cones made a special appeal
Trotting along ahead of the little
group was Petsy, a shaggy dog OF un-
certain lineage, though it was plain
IN he seen he was the boon compan-
ion of the children. When the tots
went into the drug store TO get the
cones Petsy waited outside. Fres-
emily out the children straggied
through the store screen uools, eaOh
one licking the tops off their cones
Madeline. the tiniest and closest TO
the ground, was about to take an
other lick of her cone when Petsy'
apparently disappointed at not having
had one bought for him, slyly walked
around in front of her and without
anv warning whatsoever, he delloer-
atcly Jumped up and grabbed the cone
ont Of her hand and then ran into
nearby yard and commenced to eat II
Needless to say. Madeline's shrill
cries rent the air and soon gained
for her the sympathy Of a number o.
"grown-ups," who had witnessed the
incident. They saw to it that she
was given another cone. Az TINS
iuncture Petsy came out Of the yard
Clicking his chops" and looking as
SNUG and satisfied as any other thiel
who puts through a specially clever
deal. and without noticing the fact
that Madeline was nothing out by
his mean trick. he trotted along "
the street in front Of the now happl

We are so used to thinking of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as
remedy exclusively for female ills that
we are apt to overlook the fact that it
is one of the best remedies for disorders
of the stomach.
For stomach trouble of women it is
especially adapted, as it works in COM
plete harmony with the female organ
ism, since it contains the extracts of the
best tonic roots and herbs. It tones up
the digestive system, and increases the
appetite and strength. Here is what
one woman writes showing what this
medicine does:-
Newfeld, N. Y.-"I am so pleased
to say can recommend Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound as an eco
nomical and beneficial remedy in most
ailments pertaining to women. At
least I found it SO by only taking two
bottles. I had indigestion in a bad
form and I am now feeling in the best
of health and owe It all to Lydia E.

most exclusive, and Warren asked
for shoes. An obsequious man came
forward and led them to seats, and
Helen said Immediately:
Something in high shoes"
wouldn't you rather get low
shoes this time of the year?" said
Warren.
II would advise you to get high
shoes. We are having reductions
now. and you can get good bar
gains suggested the salesman.
"All right" said Warren submis-
the man went in search of shoes.
Didn't tell you that this was some
placer"
Helen could not help smiling. She
hadn't noticed any difference from
the way she was treated when she
went anywhere else, but then War
rem was sure that this place was
the best in the city, and she was
willing to be convinced.
Here Is something reduced to So,
one of our regular $11 models" said
the man, coming back with a really
good looking pair of shoes, patent
leather with gray suede tops.
said Helen. ''Have you tn laced
shoes in the same style?"
Helen Gets a Rcbuke
1T think we have. I'll get a pair"
and again Warren and Helen were
left alone.
Don't you need slippers for eve
ming? I thought I heard you say
something about 1t a few days ago."
II did dear, but I can get them
somewhere else, where things are
not so expensive"
There you are again. I tell you
that is false economy. Well get
them right here to-day, and any
thing else you need. 1t will GER
ton to see you well shod. I don't
mind the money so don't worry"
Helen liked the shoes the man
brought and Warren asked for eve
ming slippers. BY the time they
left Helen was the possessor of
three pairs of shoes. The shoes
that she had seen first, pair of
green evening slippers, and a pair
of tan tramping shoes.
"How about stockings?" said the
man following them to the door.
DO you need stockings?" ques-
toned Warren.
mo, Warren, really don't"
Women always need stockings.
How about a pair for each pair of
shoes?"
That's extravagant, dear, besides
never wear silk stockings for
tramping."
Might as well have a pair of tan
stockings, anyway"
Yes, three pairs for three-fifty,"
said the salesman. Otherwise one
twenty pair"
There's your bargain" announced
Warren, and Helen said nothing
more. Surely she was not the loser
by this afternoon of unprecedented
extravaganza. But If she had ever
taken it upon herself to buy three
pairs of expensive shoes with stock
ings to match in one afternoon.
Warren would have called her
crazy. It made a difference who
thought of it first; that was all.
(Another incident in this very hu-
man series will appear here sOon).
