The shot entered the mans temple
and death Is believed To have been

bedroom.

ment later the detectives heard a door
slam in the room. Thinking that Lewis
was attempting to escape thru Il
window they hurried to an adjoining
room from which there was com

Writ 70 MoTHER
By DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman
Writer

-HE officers with our army some
where in France and those II
j charge of the various training
camps in this country report that they
are flooded with anxious and pathetic
letters from mothers asking what hat
become of their sons and begging them
to please tell my boy to write to me.
It is a pitiful little side light on wal
and life--isn't it? The young who
forget--tile old who remember. The
young who go marching away to q
new existence, full of new sights and
sounds, new experiences, new duties
new acquaintances, every minute brim
ming over with new interests and
thoughts and expectations, so that in
a few days, almost, the old life lies
behind them, dim and far away as a
dream.
But the old mother sits at home with
nothing new to distract her thoughts
except the new sorrow of being parted
from her boy and the fears OF the
dread unknown into which he is going.
She cannet touch that even with her
imagination, and so she longs with a
.poignancy of yearning, of which the
boy cannot even conceive, for some
word from him that will. tell her of
his daily life-how his time is spent,
what he has to eat, if he remembers to
tuck his blankets in at night the way
she always tucked them.
So she waits day after day. hoping,
watching, waiting for the letter that
never comes. Each passing of the
postman is tragedy that blurs the
patient old eyes with tears. For this
is the tragedy of motherhood-that
children can forget their mothers
but mothers never forget their chill,
dren. ~
The officers are doing all that they
can to induce the soldier boys to write
home letters. Perhaps their efforts
are not any too successful, for here We
strike upon the strange and inexplica.
BILE vagary of the masculine tempera,
ment that makes the average man
hate ink as the devil is said to hate
holy water.
And especially does he hate pen and
ink as it applies to the members of
his own family The very thought OF
inditing letter to those of his own
