THEY SNAPPED WIVES
Then Came a Divorce, Then a Mixup

Rockville Center. N. Y, July A.
The claim of being Americas cham

and Mrs. Ebert W. Verify, jr, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry E. Frost, and
surely nobody will say them nay First
they snapped mutual friendship, wife
for vito and husband for husband.
Then Verify and Mrs. Frost argued
that of verify no Frost should chill
the affection of a manly man for a
handsome woman, SO they snapped
affection and kisses and their respec-
tive spouses snapped experiences and
sued for absolute divorces. Final de-
creeS were signed June 10 by Supreme
Court Justice Manning.
And now il was learned TODAY, Mrs
Verify is not Mrs. Verify at all, but
Mrs. Frost and Mrs. Frost is not Mrs,
Frost but Mrs. Verify.
The couples decided to round out
their tendency for swapping by swap
ping wives and husbands. Verify and
Mrs. Frost, no Mrs. Verity-that is
to say-well, anyway, the defendants
in the divorce actions were married
June IL and the plaintiffs on or about
that date. Verify and his new wife
are now living in Brooklyn and their

to death in fire at the San Francisco
Preside and of the commanders visit
to the tombs of Napoleon and Lafay-

address into war problems the speaker
pointed out that the present conflict
has four strange elements-war under
water, in the air, under ground and
with propaganda. He declared that
Yankee adaptability was overcoming

into the enemy's lines.
Warns Against Propaganda.
Propaganda, the speaker warned,
was the problem for the people back
home and that we all must be on
guard against this subtle weapon Doc

to General FOch. He said:

EVEN BARRIERS BETTER PAID
Teachers Don't Look Out for Oppor-
tunities, F. L. Pinet Tells Students.

Pittsburg. Kan, July 4.-School
teaching as a profession never leads to
| a palace and frequently does lead to
the poorhouse because the teacher
ranks high as an avofder of the main
chance. according to F. L. Pinet, who
addressed the summer session students
at the State Manual Training school
this week on THE Art of Avoiding the
Main Chance"
Teachers are inclined to ignore op-
portunities for material success be-
cause they are engrossed with spiritual
values which to them are far more
important. BARRIERS are better paid
than are teachers, and yet there is
little complaint among the teachers on
| account of the economic injustice done
them.
THE truth is that many a million
efre who is now busily engaged IN tie
pleasant game of profiteering has no
| better brand of brains than some OBJ
scure schoolmaster who is struggling
| to keep on good terms with his gro
| ceryman. 1t can all be traced back
to the selection of values. Long ago
| the millionaire decided that material
values are best; long ago the school
| master discovered rich mine of spi-
ritual wealth. Age-old is the clash
between material ideals and spiritual
| ideals and the teacher knows only too
| well the futility of attempting to rec
oncile them
by the nature of his profession the
| teacher may not be a seeker after the
| main chance. He who chooses this
profession must look elsewhere than
| in his bank book for his recompense.
| A wealthy schoolmaster would pe as
wealth is ordinarily computed. ar
| anomaly, miracle or a monstrosity.
To achieve highest success as a teach
er he must place spiritual values above
material values. Johns father NAV
| reap millions in the oil fields or from
the manufacturing of a new patent
medicine but Johns teacher must see
| to it that John is worth Something
more than mere dollars when re ar
rives at the threshold of manhood.
So Johns father remembers his dol
lars and forgets John. while Johns

The Common Drinking Cup.

The following statements contained In

they are worthy of publications:
"In the issue of June Is Of one OF the
newspapers, saw notice that you were
going to enforce the law prohibiting

other matter that wish to bring to your
attention, which ought to be attended to
Immediately, and that is the use of the
common drinking cup in mills, factories
and other places Of employment.
~ am going to describe conditions, az
I know them to be from many years
experience, and these are absolute facts.
How would you like to drink from q

then as likely as not drop 1t on the floor
then pick it up, give 1t . wipe on theil

do times without number?
"Why is 1t that In the Office there are

because there is more danger In the

want to do what be forces his employees
In the mill to do, or is It just thought
lessness? In addition to the common

is kept in pail, and after what I have
described, you can imagine the sanitary
state of the water. We have q pail where
