TAKE HUBBY BACK?

Abbie Is Tempted, but Hurls
Bank Roll at Alexander
in Court Room.

Ahbie McIntyre's husband. Alexander,
became unpopular with his wife some
weeks back for reasons not fully speci-
fed in court yesterday. and Abbie con-
Quoted him firmly and swiftly to the
door of the family home, 500 East Fifty
fifth street and elected him.
Alexander didn't mind that so much
as the fact that when he went back later
he found Abbie still adamant. In words
of her own choosing she informed her
spouse that while he had assisted in
raising the Mcintyre family of five chill
dren, he had gone and said and done
things that had put him permanently
beyond the pale of her society. She told
him. as she told Magistrate Mancuso,
that three of the five children were old
enough to work and support the house,

husband had been removed.
Alexander made one final attempt to
smooth the troubled situation. He drew
$1,000. his life's savings. from a bank
and returned with this olive branch TO
his former home. 1t must be confessed
that Abbie fell for the roll. She grabbed
1t and in grabbing she temporarily forgot
the resentment harbored against her
once beloved Alexander.
In court yesterday her feelings had
all changed. She drew up violent COM
plant against her husband, declaring
that he always made things miserable
when he came home and she simply
couldn't put up with 1t any longer.
How about my money" suggested
Alexander softly from his corner of the
court room
Abbie waxed redy Nrathful She
plunged her hand into her skirt. pro
duCed the wad OF bills and hurled them
with old time accuracy at Alexanders
sConCe.
Take your old money" she shouted.
II don't want YOU or H."
Affairs then promised to reach a tragic
state and Magistrate Mancuso finally
hit upon a working agreement whereby
Alexander would forget he had a homo
and the money would be turned back to
his account. Alexander insisted that he
was a model husband except for being
unable TO work regularly because of re-
peated falls In the bricklaying trade
which had finally reduced one leg to ~

EX-GOVERNOR WAKEFIELD
AIDS THE FARMERETTES

The work of the Catonsville unit of
the Woman's Land Army has so i'm
pressed former Governor Warfield that
he has offered the "farmerettes" the
use of cottage on his country place
in Howard County, with a small dairy,
chickens, cows and all necessary i'm
plements and materials for the opera
ton of a small intensive farm for one
year.
Governor Warfield will visit Ingle-
side shortly and go over the proposi-
ton with the "farmerettes," who are
seriously considering it, especially two
young matrons, whose husbands are in
government service.
The "farmerettes" have worked s
hours each day this week, despite the
intense heat and humidity. They
have continued wedding, hoeing corn
harvesting potatoes and onions, pick
ed beans and peas, and were initiated
into the delights of picking apples
which will occupy more of their at
tention as the crops ripen.

POLLUTION OF CURTIS
CREEK IS UP AGAIN

The question of pollution at Curtis
Bay, in upper Anne Arundel County
which was recently taken up by Gov
ernor Harrington again jumped into
the limelight yesterday and the COM
manding officer of Coast Guard Sta
ton at that point sent letter to the
State Conservation Commission telling
the Commission that the shores about
the Coast Guard Station at Curtis
Creek were lined with dead fish. He
says that this condition is due to the
pollution of the waters of the creek
by the sewage which is being dumped
into the stream by the several indus
trial plants, and Lieutenant Killian
sent word that he would make per-
sonal visit to the creek and would
then take such steps as he could to
have the conditions changed
There have been many complaints
lodged both with the Conservation
Commission and the Health Board,
and there have been numerous con-
ferences on the subject, but so far
nothing has come out of them.
The assertion is made that the great
destruction of oysters and fish is due
to the dumping of offal in the creeks.
This( it is contended, can be correct
ed by the use of proper filtration
plants.

Unrayeling Mix-up Between

A foreign war. in which bad words

William S. Welch here this morning.
The Justice finally found Martin Tie
trowash of an assault upon Emil

sTowaski was released from custody.
The assault took place on the plat
form of the railroad station at Dorsey,
in the upper part of the county. on the
afternoon of July 18th. Tietrowaslfi's s
statement was that he struck Eschner
only after the latter had called Tie
tTowaski's wife all sorts of bad names
and then had called Tietrowaski worse
names. AS the "cussing match" was
conducted in Polish, the only witness,
an American negro, could not do much

REV. H. |. FAULCONER
LEAVES HIS Church
Well Known Presbyterian Min.
lister To Return To Evangel-
istic Work
FINANCED BY INDIVIDUAL

The Rev. Henry l.. Faulconer, for
the past two years pastor of North
minister Presbyterian Church, North
avenue and St Paul street. Baltimore.
has resigned his pastorate to do evan
gelistic work. for which he has been
given an unusual opportunity. Mr.
Faulconer's salary will be paid by an
individual, thus allowing him to work
independently and without making
calls upon the meetings he conducts
for money to cover his expenses. His
friend, whose name is withheld, is en-
abling Mr.. Faulconer to do this work
as a memorial to a daughter, who re-
Gently died.
DR. Faulconer is well known here,
where he. few years ago, conducted
a most successful evangelistic cam
paign, first in the Presbyterian Church
and later in the First Methodist Epis-
copal Church, where there were many
conversions, and the churches in and
about Annapolis of all creeds, had add
ed TO them "many as shall be
saved" His influence for good here
is still being felt.
Mr.. Faulconer is splendidly fitted for
this work, having worked in evangel-
istic fields during most of his minis
try. He has been in the East 16 years,
and had done only evangelistic work
until he went TO Baltimore two years
ago. His pastorate in Baltimore has
been markedly successful. and the
members of his congregation regret
losing him. He will leave Baltimore
about the middle of August and go to
Hillsboro, Ohio, where he will make
his home. A number of meetings to be
conducted by him have already been
arranged in that part of the State
A special meeting of the Presby-
terry has been called by the Rev. Henry
Branch, its secretary stated, to act on
Mr.. Faulconer's resignation. The
meeting will be held on Monday after
noon, August5. Up to this time no
minister has been mentioned as sue
cessor to Mr.. Faulconer.
