OF course the ladies would not contribute

Just from looking at her and hearing
her talk you know that this earnest young

and gracious manner, does not subscribe
to any "spare-the-rod-and-spo the child
doctrine" Even four years at the New

the institution made famous by KATHERINE

"A whipping may relieve the adults

certainly doesn't do the child any good.

a child hurts dog, II must not be allowed
TO play with the dog until II realizes its

apologize or see its fault II can pretty soon
be made to see It. II II is refused permission

SUSPECT SWEETHEART
AIDED BERG'S ESCAPE
Secret Service Men Search for
Woman Who Helped Com
mander of Appam
ATLANTA, Oct. 25.

While officers and soldiers today con-
tinued the search for Lieutenant Hans Berg,
commander of the prize ship Appam, and
nine other Germans who tunneled their way
out of Fort Mcpherson prison camp, Secret
Service men were checking up Bergs nu-
merous sweethearts, in the belief that one
of them fired the pistol shot which dis
tracted the attention of the prison guards
while the Germans escaped.
The sweetheart suspected lived in New
York. The authorities refused to divulge
her name. The military authorities are
also investigating how the Germans were
able TO remove the dirt from their 15O-foot
tunnel without It's being detected. No trace
of the prisoners has been found
