 "1 have seen several men beaten every day because they did not stand at attention during all the time re- quired-often half an hour at a time i; or because they did not hear their names when they were called, all though the officer calling it could not speak good English, and would say Schmidt, for Smith, etc
 Sick and wounded men were beat en just the same as the we'll ones, and for no reason whatsoever. The beat ings were very brutal-men were often beaten until they were knocked down, bleeding from the nose or mouth or from wounds on their faces.
 The officers beat them with their fists, and sometimes used loaded blackjacks, and beat the men until. ways for no offense.
 'I never saw a man do mean thing or offer resistance while I was there, nearly two months. Even men with shell shock were beaten
 "A man known as prisoner 634 came there from a hospital. He had been wounded and shell shocked and because he moved while standing at attention he was severely beaten, struck in the face several times and knocked down by 'Hardboi1ed' Smith and the prison sergeauts. After that he crawled into hls pup tent and cut his throat with a safety razor blade.
 we were called near soldiers and cursed all the time, and called such foul names that they cannot even be repeated.
 The prisoners were nearly all men who were on furlough, and men with the best standing are the ones who are given furIoughs; this goes to show that the men were nearly all fine fel- lows. Tn treatment was so awfully rough that it made nearly all of them very bitter in their criticism of the higher-ups, whom they blamed for at least a part of their troubles
 "I spent nine weeks at Tours as a witness against 'Hardboiled' Smith and other officers from Prison Farm No. 2. Congressman Johnson Is the only man of influence that I know of who has really tried to give the men of the A. B. F. a square deal

SELECTING JURY
 TO TRY CHICAGO. RACE WAR CASES

Chicago, Aug. After the calmest night in the black belt'' for more than a week, the work was begun to- day of selecting a grand jury before which will come the cases of white men and negroes accused of partici- patton in the race riots which caused the death of 20 negroes and 1 3 whites and the injury of hundreds.
 The coroner has fixed the number of dead at 33 and the city health com missioner has found that 3O6 people injured in the riots were treated in hospitals. He expressed the opinion, however, that perhaps 400 or more who were injured in the riots never reported at hospitals, and conse- quently the total number of injured will never be known officially.
 The state troops had little to do during the night in the riot zone, but much excitement was caused early today by. persistent reports telephon- ed into headquarters of the Second regiment, that a crowd of 500 men was gathering at South Ashland ave- nue and West 59th street. When a company of troops reached the scene the crowd had vanished and the sol- diers returned to headquarters.

BOOKS

THE ,ABoLIsHING OF DEATH" BY
Basil King. New York: Cosmopolitan
Book Corporation.
Mr.. Kings book comes as an i'm
portant contribution to current lit
erature on the subject of psychic
phenomena and to some readers AZ
least will provide convincing evil
dence OF the existence of another
and higher plane and the possi-
bility of communication with those
whom the world calls dead Like
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and other
famous writer's, he has for the time
forsaken the field of fiction for the
investigation of this subject in
which there has been a marked
awakening of interest as one of
the direct results of the world war.
Whether the reader takes up the
book as a believer, a hardened
scoffer or with a mind open to con-
viction, he cannot but be Impress
ed with the testimony that M.
King offers as his personal ex-
periences. For his revelations no
does not depend upon the profess
sional medium (rather his work
indicates that it is more difficult
for those on the next plane to COM
municate through a professionally
but by means of automatic writing
by young girl OF his acquaintance
whom he chooses to call "Jen-
infer" In life his control was a
noted chemist, who states that it is
his duty in his new surroundings
to make those on this plane better
acquainted with conditions that
exist in the next.
Mr.. King does not argue. but pre-
sents instead thoroughly dignified
account of his communications. and
leaves 1t to the reader to judge
for himself.

Saving Money in the Home

ideas they simply won't wait to be
exchanged
DEAR ELIZABETH LATTIMER.
Your comment on the painting OF

i did the same with an old faded orus-
sells carpet. only used different colored
. dyes: red, green and yellow, on the
same colors IN the carpet, and the re-
suit was very satisfactory
!. / believe that the best trick that 1
sver turned and saved several dollars
BY doing so was when l turned thesskirt
OF a good cloth suit. The skirt was
worn so much more than the coat that
the difference was quite noticeable, 50 l
made the skirt over, wrong side out. ana
the suit was good for anothsr year IN
fact. several years 1 also turned the

the wrong side looked like delaine, and
received many compliments.

count the cost yof q thing before
buying and never to contract a biIl
unless i know when and how 1 am
going to pay It
This Is our system: On the 1st
and 18th of each month we reckon
the amount of money my husband
has on hand and set aside the sums
necessary to cover our household
expenses-the rent and the bills of
butcher, baker, and candlestick-
maker. Then a certain fixed per-
centage is retained for deposit in
the bank against a possible emerg-
ency and for saving. The remainder
we divide equally between ourselves
'We both keep strict account OF
what we spend, and for any mu-
tual pleasure-an outing, visit to
the theater or movies, etc.-each
pays half the expenses, including
carfare. lunches, candy or whatever
may come up.
1T has proved such a fine busi-
ness arrangement that l wish 9TH
ers would try it. There are no
more disagreeable times when the
bills. come in; no 4 can't see what
you do with all the money l give

Mrs. WOOdrOU's s Article
By MRS. WILSON WOODROW.

THE old cynical saying. when
Poverty comes in at the door
Loves flies out OF the win
dow" is not always true.
As a matter of fact, Love has
often been strengthened and saved,
the pity and sympathy and the
The Washington times., 1919-11-10

drawing closer together due to
financial reverses
What is true is that Love is very
apt to fly before the advent of
Stinginess and Unfairness.
The success of marriage Is al
most always an economic problem.
With that phase of it satisfactorily
settled, the other phases can gen.
orally be trusted to take care of
themselves
The man who doles out the house,
keeping allowance as IL he were
giving aims; the woman who lets
the bread bill slide to spend the
money on some bit Of extravagance;
the man who grouches about ex-
pense at home and poses as a
prince" at downtown bars; the
woman who will have, regardless
of the amount of her husbands
income-these are responsible for
more separations and disagreements
than all the vampires and soul
mates put together.
Marriage Is q
Business Enterprise.
All the free-verse and free-love
and novels and plays and moving
pictures and theoretical piile of
every sort cannot change the fact
that marriage is a business enter
prise and, as with every other busi-
ness enterprise, it's success is al
most entirely a matter of straight
bookkeeping.
AS an exhibit along this line, /
present the experience Of one of my
correspondents. Her letter, in con-
trast to most of those 1 receive,
deals not with difficulties but with
results, and is 50 clear=headed and
suggestive that l am sure il will
be helpful to many.
"My dear Mrs. Woodrow" she
writes. IL am always interested in
your articles, and as you are asking
your readers for some suggestions
about the allowance problem
would like to give a few practical
ideas
"In most cases l feel sure that
the wife herself is chiefly in the
blame. A man-if he is any man
at all-will not fuss about added
expense, but will admire his wife
the more IL she will only come to
him in a straightforward, business
like fashion-not complaining or
fault-finding, but in a cheerful mood
and show him by facts and figures
why it is necessary for her to have
a larger weekly amount on which
to run the house.
"Of course, this applies only to
wives who are acquainted with the
exact amount of their husbands
incomes and who know that he can
afford to be more generous. But
! every wife should be acquainted
with the amount of the income
otherwise she is not a partner, but
a dependent.
I'm any ca&c, though, let her
drive out of her consciousness any
expectation or fear OF injustice, let
her tell herself that she is entitled
to a square deal and feel that she
is going to get it; and II she ap-
proaches him in this attitude she
will surely win.
