As for pretty girls, now and then you find one who is nat urally too sweet tempered or clever to be spoiled by her own prettiness, but the most of them think it's enough for them to be pretty and just lie back on it. That's why 1t isn't usually the pretty women who are the best at holding their husbands.'

TO DROP TANZER CASE
District Attorney Marshall Decides
 Not to Prosecute Further Charge of Perjury Against Young Woman.

Perjury Against Young Woman.
 New York, April 7.-Charles H. Wax produced by the government in the Rae Tanzer case as the mysterious Oliver Osborne, created another sen- sation in the Yorkville Court yester- day by volunteering to furnish $7.500 cash bail to answer a charge of grand larceny. Following his offer, Magis- trate Murphy held him without bail as a fugitive from justice from Oregon.
 Wax's court appearance followed the decision of the United States dis trict attorney's office to drop the cases against Miss Tanzer and her counsel, Max and David H. Slade. growing out of her breach of promise suit against James w. Osborne. As- sistant District Attorney John c. Knox moved before Judge Cashman that he be discharged from custody. The mo- tion was granted and Wax was arr rested on the larceny charge.
 Motions dismissing the indictments against Miss Tanzer and her counsel are expected before H. Snowden Mar shall quits office as district attorney later in the month. The remaining case. that of Stafford, the hotel clerk convicted of perjury in swearing that it was James w. Osborne whom he saw with Miss Tanzer in a Plainfield hotel, is now before the Circuit Court of Appeals. The cases have cost more than $100,000. according to es- inmates made in the federal building.

TO RELIEVE ENGLISH WARSHIPS American. Vessels Will Do Patrol Duty
 in West Atlantic.

Washington. April 7.-Allied war ships patrolling the Atlantic coast will be sent to the European battle fleets, now that German mer1hant ships in American ports have been taken over.
 All the Allied vessels may not be taken away until the status of the Austrian merchant ships finally is de- termined, but it is the intention of the Allied governments to remove them eventually. Their places prob- ably will be taken by American maya: vessels.
 Steps also have been taken toward withdrawal of British naval patrols il, the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic, the work being turned over to the United States navy. Some of the British ships may be kept for time at the station at Kingston, Ja- mica, but eventually the United States is expected to take over all patrol work on this side of the At lantic.
