BEAUTY
TO SAVE
WOMAN?
Especial TO The Timcs.)

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The old,
tense duel between a beautiful
woman's eyes and twelve good
men and true" will be fought out
again when Mrs. Jack" dc Saul
les faces the jury in her trial for
the murder of her husband at
Westbury, l.. L., Aug. 8.
Expert criminologists have al
ways attributed HarrS Thaw's es-
cape from the electric chair more
to Evelyn Nesbit's dramatic reve-
iation of her l.fe story than to
the technical defense of emotional
Insanity. The beautiful woman
faced the jury and the beautiful
woman won.
This is the almost pnfailins rec
ord of murder trial history.
Three juries failed to convict
Nan Patterson, whose feminine
charms had won her a place in
the original Floradora seytet, of
the murder of Caesar Young, a
New York bookmaker.
When Mrs. Gertrude Gibson
Patterson killed her consumptive
husband at Denver the odds were
all against her. The rich man,
upon whose assistance she relied,
was slow in coming forward. But
within two months she was freed
by the first jury upon which she
turned the battery of her glances,
and Chicago lawyer, brother of
the murdered man, said: I'm my
opinion the verdict means that
pretty woman can commit murder
and get away with it. ] know
from my practice that conviction
of a woman criminal is almost
impossible"
Madame Caillaux, wife of the
French minister of finance, frank
ly admitted her guilt in the slay-.
ing of CASTOR Calmette. editor of
the Paris Figaro, and gave her
reasons. The French court. not
less gallant than American juries,
freed her.
Ruined honor was Evelyn Mes
bits weapon. Protecting her hus-
band was Madame Caillaux's
trump card.
How far may woman go to
keep her child? That is the ques-
ton Mrs. de Saulles' eyes will ask
of the jury.

Their transportation was re-

days from that time in which to
report. They will not go as units,
but at whatever times suit their
individual convenience. They too
will travel light, taking only
toilet articles.

Wednesday.
In some exemption districts the
examining physicians are reject
ing from 40 to SO per cent of the
registered men.
OF those who pass the physical
examinations, an overwhelming
majority are taking out exemption
blanks
Many Won't Get II
"Of course, every man who
asks for exemption will not get
it." explained Shoemaker.
Men who are asking exemption
because they are married, will
have to show some other reason
in addition before the exemption
boards will permit them to avoid
army service, Shoemaker said.
THE boards will not exempt a
man simply because he has wife
to support. He must prove be-
yond shadow o fdoubt that his
wife would suffer by his absence,
and that there is no one else VINO
could support her.
Many just "Flock"

amount of money that he con-
tributes to her support"

Each man carried little pacl-

baggage of any kind was taken.
AS the unit has had no drill to-

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The kill
ing of Jack De Saulles by his wifi,
was to be expected; you cant de
cree that motherhood and wife
hood shall be the one dominating
thing of Importance in a woman:
life, then take that ava.
from her, and not expect some
kind of an explosion.
A wOman's whole life is her
lOve-life. Her personal re-
lationship as wife and
mother, society has decreed
and woman has accepted, as
the central dominating influ-
ence i'm her life.
When her faith in her hus-
band is destroyed and she is
shocked into realization
that her love dream has
crashed into nOthingness;
when In addition to that the
child that she has borne is
kept away from her by the
husband who has proved UNI
faithful; II rs no wonder that
the mind % the woman be-
comes temporarily unbal-
anced and that a tragedy
such as this shooting occurs.
The wife who Obtains a divorce
from an unfaithful husband
ought to have the custody of her
child or children.
I do not say for moment that
the father should not be permitted
to SEE the child. Many fathers
who have been unfaithful to the
women they married love their
children as much as ever.
But the mother is the proper
protector for her child.
This girl-for she is little more
than a girl, beautiful, cultured, re-
fined-was wooed and won by DE
who pursued her to Paris
to press his suit. He is reported
TO have said of her that he thought
her the MOST BEAUTIFUL WO-
MAN IN THE WORLD.
localized in this way, she UNI
ioubtedly believed that she would
always hold the affections of he.
husband.
But a few years shattered her
dream. She was compelled to sue
for divorce because another wo-
man had entered her husbands
life.
With nothing left of her love-
life except her boy, she found that
she would not even have him. The
court decreed that the erring ia
Lher was to have the child part
of the year.
The young mother, torn with
anguish at not being able to have
her child with her, with her love-
life shattered. simply became tem-
porarily unbalanced. The tragedy

MR.. LEAVENS.
Barre Times.

Stepping into the shoes of man whose
work was eXtoled very highly and
whose decision to quit that work was
regretted by large number of people,
Linus Leavens of Cambridge, the newly
appointed fish and game commissioner
fol Vermont, will perhaps find himself
somewhat handicapped at the start lin
gaining the full confidence of the pub
lie; yet he will also find that most of the
people of the State will be ready to give
him the fullest possible cooperation in
order that the administration of the Of
flee may be conducted on high plane.
There is no man so good that there are
none others his equal in capacity, so
with reasonable measure of adaptibilty,
Mr.. Leavens may be expected in good
time to measure up to the standard set
by his immediate predecessor, John w.
Titcomb. 1t is assured that the new
official has an excellent foundation on
which to build his administration, and
thus he will be favored at the outset in
the difficult role Of establishing himself
in a strange position. If Mr.. Leavens
makes good, as his acquaintance are
confident he will the office should not
be football of politics. for it is an Of
flee in which experience and a CON
stantly growing knowledge of peculiar
local conditions in all parts of the state
are important contributing factors to
success.
