BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer
Her Husbands Friends.-2.
Unfortunately. this kind of WON

Unfortunately, this kind of woman
is almost az rare as hens teeth. The
common or garden variety of woren n
is so petty and narrow that he cannot
endure the thought that her husband
has ever liked anybody but herself.
So she builds a wall around her home
and writes mo Admis~ IN to Illus
bands Old Friends" on it 4 ties.
You need no better proof or this
than the fact that after a man 1narries
you meet in his house. and at his ia BILE
only his wife's friends. He pays the
bills, but he is not free to b ny / ne
an old chum to dinner. And if he is
bold enough to take such liberty, he
has to listen to q thousand criticisms
on the unwelcome guest from his Wife
Perhaps Rman finds no more bitter
disappointment in matrimony than
this unreasoning jealousy of his wife
towards his old friends. One of his
innocent dreams of bliss as been
having a home of his own where there
will always be a chair by. the fire for
his old pals, with whom he has shared
good fortune and ill fortune in his
struggling years. whose help has saved
him many a time, and the knowled sc
of whose loyalty and love are among
the most precious things in his life.
They have million memories and ex-
T -ences in common. and he thinks o:
the beatific evenings when the two of
them will sit and smoke and recall
"reminiscences. and wife will beam on
them as they talk.
But the dream has a rude awaken
ing when wife hands chum a frapped
welcome that would make an Arctic
winter seem tropical. and when she
makes fun of his clothes, and derides
his manners. and can't abide the smell
of his tobacco. That eliminates old
chum.
And the main gets still more of a
jar when wife hands out the cold turn
down to some woman friend who has
been an anchor and a stay to him in
his youth and whose influence has
perhaps made him the fine fellow he
is. Or perhaps the old friend is soms
boarding house keeper who has given
him food and shelter in some crisis
when he was out of work, or has
nurSed him thru some long Illness and
to whom he is bound by eternal ties of
gratitude, but whom his wife refuses
to welcome in his home because she
isn't stylish.
Perhaps if wives realized how cruel
they are in trying to uptoot their hus-
bands old friendship they would stay
their hands. Assuredly they would be
more careful If they even guessed that
when they do it they make their hus-
bands feel that they have made a bad
exchange in giving up generous mind
ca friends Tor narrow minded wife
Nor need any woman be Jealous of
her husbands old friends If she will
make them hers every one of them
will be an ally in helping her to keen
his love.

ganized a volunteer fleet of autome-
biIes, which carried the women out to
work every morning and back to their
families every evening.
The government agents are agreed
that the new understanding created
between farmers and city folk is the
best thing accomplished by this mobii-
izat;on of volunteer labor. A few
years ago you might hear a motorist
say. as he rolled thru the country:
I'm afraid the farmers are going to
lose part OF. their crops this year. poor
devils-shortage Of labor, you know.
Too bad. but it can't be helped"
Now a great national food shortage
has awakened that same man to the
fact that II the crop Is lost. the, farmer
won't be the only poor devil. without
that crop. we'd all be poor devils.

Germany has sent another note to
Washington. 1t contains renewed and
additional IAotestation that the gov
eminent of that country has under
gone a radical change and that the
kaiser now has little or nothing TO do
with it. Her evident design is to
obtain a treaty of peace, without sub
hitting to the occupation of her terri
tory. This action was invited by
President wilson's declaration that we
could not negotiate with the then Hun
rulers Seeing that they were hope
lessiy beaten the Huns fastened to
take advantage of the opening. But
they are no longer dealing with the
Isrcsident. The matter has passed out
of his hands and into those of the al
lied war council The German CAM
outage will not avail. If the Teutons
had acted upon the PRESIDENTS sug-
-estiori when il first was offered, and
promptly cleaned house, the situation
might befdifferent. But they waited
until they were whipped and then at
the eleventh hour began to show
surface signs of repentance. An
rouncem. mt of a change in their form
of government may be true and it may
not but 1t will not get them anything.
1t will make no great difference to the
allies who makes the surrender or who
signs the peace treaty. They will see
that its provisions are carried out.

Kansas outdid all of the other states
in helping out it's farmers. There
were eight million acres of wheat in
Kansas to be harvested. The move
ment for recruiting labor to harvest
Mo-, but was essentially a Kansas
City Chamber of Commerce got up a
state organization, and assigned to
each town a quota of men which it
must raise for the purpose of har-
vesting the wheat crop. People were
told that the wheat crop was more
important than anything else in Kan
sas. and therefore any man was justi-
fled in leaving his business for few
days or a few weeks to help harvest
it. An army of ninety thousand work
ers was raised in this way. 1t includ-
ed all types. Professional men. mer-
chants. city workmen. school children.
women were there. They made their
camps in the fields, and did each one
what he could. Some elderly men
who could not stand the heat of the
day. organized twilight squads" to
work in the evening. Women cooked,
little boys and girls carried water and
peeled potatoes. The Kansas wheat
was harvested.
In the vicinity of Portland. Oregon,
crops of small fruit and berries were
saved by women. 1t was found that
many married women were willing to
work, but had to get back home to
their children at night. Accordingly

DAIRY BUILDING
BURNS IN BETHEL

Danbury, May 18-The large dairy
building on the farm of Frank Lar
son, situated at the top of Hoyts Hill
in Bethel, was destroyed yesterday
by fire of unknown origin. The
sparks from the fire started one large
fire and two smaller fires near the
center of the town. The home of
Mrs. William Elzea being destroyed
and the two houses on each side of
it slightly damaged. The dairy build
ing is situated so high that it was i'm
possible to force a stream of water
to it, and it was necessary to form a
bucket brigade to save the building
surrounding it.

BRIDCEPORTERS
SETTLE DOWN At
CAMP ADMISSION

Correspondents H g q u 1T rs,
Camp Mcclellan, Admission, Ala, May
'1S-(Special)- the trials and the
tribulations of the rookie in the
army, all the joys and sorrows of the
man under canvas for the first time,
the Inconvenience of reville and the
comfort of taps, are now being ex-
perienced in Camp Mcclellan by s.
900 drafted men whose career as SOL
diers is a scant two weeks old.
The new arrivals are all from
Fort Slocum, N. Y, the states repre-
scented by them being New York, Con-
necticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts,
and Rhode Island. AS a whole they
are regarded by their officers as shap-
ing up well and as exhibiting a high
average of intelligence. They are in
good spirits and their physical con-
dition leaves little to be desired.
The palm for being the most com
plete rookie has unanimously been
awarded to Peter Hogopian, a Syrian
warrior. Peter salutes everybody and
in his desire to show himself a friend
1y affable sort, offered a cigarette to
Lieutenant Colonel Buttle, who is in
charge of the camp. He earnestly
endeavors to shake hands with every
one he meets as a preliminary to ex-
hibiting the photograph of his sweet
heart

border in New York state. Harold
has adapted himself quickly to army
life and does not refer to his tent as
heap big tepee" or utter loud war
whoops after taps.
The rookie" who will probably
have his work cut out for him is
Diminick Maegnate, occupation, "bull
roper" Dominick, it is said, has been
spending twenty-four hours a day
roping, tying and branding all the
varieties of "bulP' loose around the
isolation camp.
Linguists are not lacking among
the new arrivals. Juan Gonzales, a
Portuguese, can converse in French,
Italian, Spanish and English in ad-
dition to his native tongue, while
George Nevellus speaks all Russian
dialects, including Bolsheviki.
The rockies have been in the
service only since May 1 and from
what they have seen of the army so
far they are going to like it.
The 18th and Hath infantry are
the outfits which have the deepest
interest in the rockies quartered
near them. Thed raft men brought
along no officers or non-commission-
ed officers and accordingly their lack
CT leaders has been supplied from
the 18th and Hath. Considerable in
genuity has been required in order to
enable the non-coms to keep in touch
with the members Of their squads
who at first had the vaguest ideas on
discipline and responsibility. Every
non-com and every rookie in the
recruit camp wears on his blouse a
colored disc which bears his name
so that the sergeants and corporals
can pick out the men of their parti-
cular flocks and them en- in turn car
tell their leaders. The squads are
moving smoothly now, although al
first there was enough buttonholing

CARETAKER HANGS
HIMSELF IN HIS
EMPLOYERS BARN

Despondent because Of IN health,
Jerome z. Hawley, caretaker Of the
farm of Hamilton S. Shelton, presi
dent Of the Connecticut National
bank, took his own life last night, by
hanging, in his employers barn at
the foot of Snake Hill, in Fairfield.
The body was discovered by Mrs.
Hawley, in the early evening, and she
was overcome by the severe fright
and shock.
Mr.. Hawley came to Fairfield from
Danbury, some time ago. He secur-
ed position as caretaker of Mr.. Shell
tons farm, and lived on the estate
with his wife and stepson. He left
the house Immediately after supper
last night and after waiting quite v
time for his return, his wife went N
search of him. Upon entering the
barn she discovered her husbands
body hanging from rope attached
to beam about eight feet above the
floor. The dead mans feet were
resting on the floor. Mrs. Hawley
was completely overcome by the ter
rible sight.
According to Medical Examiner DR..
William H. Donaldson, who believes
the death to be a plain case of sui
eide, Hawley made an attempt to take
his own life eight years ago, by swal-
lowing chloroform. Medical assist
ance rendered in the nick of time
saved the man from death.
Mr.. Hawley was SIS years old and
is survived by his wife and one step
son who, yesterday. started to work
in the Remington Arms Co.'S factory
in this city. Frustrated with grief.
Mrs. Hawley was unable last night,
to remember her sons Bridgeport ad-
