fAN-HATING WOMEN
LIVE "WEDDED" LIFE

st. Louis. Mo-, Dec. 14.-HOw they
lived together as man and wife and
how the husband for two years had
concealed the fact from neighbors
and friends that "he" was a woman,
was disclosed following the arrest
here of Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Bert
Schmidt"
Smoking a cigarette when arrested
and denouncing his" arrest as
damned ridiculous" the husband"
kept up his bravado for some time,
after "he" had told a story which
Chief of Detectives Hannegan de-
clared one of the most remarkable
in his experience.
The HUSBAND" is really Mrs. Mary
Bertha Schmidt, who came to this
country twelve years ago from Hun
gary. The wife" is Miss Mary Asse-
{ e, cousin of the husband
81 always hated men as did Mary
also. so we both decided to get mar
ried. The ceremony was performed
by justice of the peace and we
bought nice little home in South St,
Louis. We were living together very
happily until the police interfered. "

spired by the spirit of revenge. The
idea OF subjecting the criminal to
physical torment as part of his penal
ty is abhorrent both to a rightmind-
ed man and a just tribunal
When. however, one reads to-day
the comments of many an American
newspaper and the reports of the pub
lie utterances of more or less dis
tinguished politicians, ministers, and
others, he is startled to see the old
spirit of the mob asserting itself.
The enemies of the Allies must not
simply be punished. made to make
reparation wherever reparati can
be made, we are told. but their cities
must be burned. their lands laid
waste. that Is, we must commit the
same crimes they have committed.
and which have Mortified us and out
ragged our sense of justice. Then
what better are we than they? How
much further toward the truth and
the light has our "Kultur" led us
than theirs has lead them?
II is out of this spirit that springs
the desire to see the war ended. not
when the things the Allies have
fought for are fully obtained. but
only when. with the ends attained
there can not be present also the
consciousness on the part OF the vic
tors that they have had their revenge
Shall this war brutalize US. or shall
we come ont of it with our ideals of
justice and honor still unimpaired?-

doubtful, I made inquiry about who
would pay the bill, the answer was:
II you are afraid to risk him you need
not come. and i did not go. 1t turn
ed out that his arm was not hurt
much, but he did net know how bad
It might be and thought 1t would not
cost anything to have a doctor to
come and see. All of us have ex-
periences of this kind.
There are four classes of people:
First, those who pay promptly, Sec
ond, those who are good pay but
slow. Third, those who could but
will not pay and Fourth, those who
can not pay. Every man can be
placed in one of these classes or
rather he places himself there.
Just word about the second class
or those who are good but slow, 1t Is
our desire to stimulate them to more
more prompt settlement it takes too
much of our time bookkeeping. And
the third class, those who could pay,
but will not, we do not have much
pity for them. They take our time
and labor and pay us nothing for it.
They are the ones who talk disre-
specially of us when we present our
bills. We are always shy of the fell
low who comes to us with story OF
disrespect for the doctor who has
previously treated him or his family;
nine times out of ten he has not paid
his bill and he wants to fleece you.
He wants to justify himself for not
paying and so he talks about the
doctor and tries to leave the impress
sion that he is no good and that his
services were not worth anything.
He is the fellow that sues you for
upon the least provoca-
ton. He is the broad. open. day
light, robber. Brother this is the
FELLOW we are AFTER.
In regard to the fourth class. or
those who can not pay. there is not
a great number of people who really
can not pay the doctor, but now why
should we do their practice for moth
ing? You do not expect the grocer
to furnish them with groceries free of
charge, you do not expect the tailor
to keep them in clothes, and you
would hardly think of sending them
your paper one year with another.
why not put them on the County or
State or if not why not the neighbors
chip in and pay the doctor just like
they would the merchant or grocery
man-we would go our part and
more.
do not believe there is any pro-
fession that equals ours in the
amount of charitable work done or
that is expected of us. And if those
who condemn because we are trying
to break these letters which have
bound us for generations. were put
to the test they would be surprised
at their own uncharitableness and
at their thoughtlessness in
the medical profession for
striving to put the practice of medi-
cine on a business basis.

Blind Demand War Books
American ASSN to Adopt Re-
vised Braille Type of Printing

Demands for reading matter on rh
war by the blind have caused the d.
partment for the blind at the New York
Public Library. Fifth Avenue and
Forty second Street, to place at their
disposal ten volumes of war literature
SO popular have these books become
among the unfortunates to whom ordi-
nary literature is useless that they are
nearly always in circulation. The
books, which were published in Eng
land, are:
cover the Top" by Arthur Guy En-
pey; Garry On" by C. W. Dawson;
"Kitchener's Mob" by J. N. Hall; -Four
Weeks in the Trenches" by Fritz
Kreisler; "The British Campaign in
France and Flanders" in four volumes.
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: "Fighting
in Flanders" by E. A. Powell; "My
Year Of the Great War;" by Frederick
Palmer.
The American Association for the Blind
has decided to adopt a universal type of
printing for the blind, known as the
Revised Braille type, which is used
throughout Europe. Since its invention
by Louis Braile in Paris in 1928 it
has been adopted by the French Inst1-
tute Rationale des Jeunes Aveugles and
in England. 1t will gradually replace
the New York point system and the
American Braille hitherto used in the

Unwitnessed Will Is
Held To Be Illegal
Appellate Division Reverses
Bronx Surrogate, Who Ad-
mitted 1t to Probate

The Appellate Division yesterday,
Justice Shearn dissenting, reversed the
action of Surrogate Schulz, of Bronx
County. in admitting to probate the will
OF John H. Cogan, resident of The
Bronx. The testator left his estate
to his cousin, Miss Mary Cullen, and
the Salvation Army.
Two years before his death, in
April, 1917, Mr.. Cogan wrote state
ment, telling how he wished to DISPOSE
OF his property. While on his death
bed in hospital he called doctor
and nurse and confirmed his written
statement by pointing out Miss Cullen
as his beneficiary. The Appellate Di-
vision rejected the will and reversed
Surrogate Schulz, who admitted the
Cogan will, on the ground that the nee
essary Requirements the making
or VIII had not been complied with.
Justice Shearn, who voted in favor
OF admitting the will, said in his dis
sentlng opinion: 81 do not think we
are compelled to hold that a statute
enacted to prevent fraud and substan-
TALLY complied with shall be applied
SO literally as to destroy the will and
irustfate the testator's clear inten-
