Good Morning, Judge :
Human Interest Stories Of
Police Court happenings.
oh, Michael.

Oh, Michael.
Mike Curtis has been guilty Of max
ing q mistake that no one' In right
mind would have made.
He Is q strong believer In liquor.
This belief II unshakeable- The sight
of Prohibitionist makes him sore.
But. with all this. he rented three
rooms in his house to a woman with
decided views on the Demon Rum.
This woman did her best to persuade
Mike to divorce himself from his evil
ways, but he evidently figured that
those whom the devil had Joined to-
gether were not be be put asunder by
a woman.
Mike ordered the Prohibitionist out
OF the house. She asked for time to
get her effects packed.
While she was packing up, he
poured a quart OF whiskey on the
stairs. The whole house smelled like
distillery.
The woman mopped up the vile stun
and pleaded with Mike to behave.
Mad clear through, Mike drank up
most of another quart and started
after the slow-moving Prohibitionist.
He pulled a hunk of plaster down
from the ceiling and hit the woman
in the Jaw with it.
Then he pulled some of the shingles
on the roof thinking that the next
time it rented. the Prohibitionist
would get all the water she wanted.
Judge Hardison fined him SIS.

IN THE DEPTHS

AS she heard Roy Nicoll enter the
and ran blindly for the door. Nicoll
caught her gently and kept her
STEADY, Janet!" he said in a low,
level tone, THE passage outside is
crowded with nosey, curious people.
Walk out with me, as though nothing
had happened-and I'll take care Of
the rest"
In Nicoll's voice was a tremor-for
the first time in all the years of his
manhood. He did not know himself.
He knew only that if he had to look
at his woman in such suffering much
longer he would go to pieces as badly
as she. She had her face hidden in
her hands, as though to shut in the
agony of dissolution of nerves and
heart she felt.
Roy put her cloak about her and
arranged her fur stole SO that it hid
her face almost wholly, and gently
led her to the door. Past the staring
loiterers and reporters he took her
by the rear exit of the hall to his
limousine, which had been brought
round by his orders. AS though in
a daze, Janet stepped into the car.
Nicoll took his place beside her and
switched off the lights and drew the
curtains close.
ITO Mrs. Stedman's home!" he said
to the chauffeur
Janet cried out: mo, no, I cannot
stand it! I'll go mad there alone.
Let me out!"
Drive around in the park" Nicoll
ordered in low tone.
The car glided off. Janet suddenly
and completely broke up. She was
shaking with soundless sobs. She
shook as though waves of ague passed
through her. Nicoll's self-possession
left him. He had caught her in his
arms, trembling almost as uncontroll,
ably as she.
Janet! Little woman! In the name
of pity tell me what l can door I'll
go mad! I can't bear to see you suf-
fer so! l want you, dearest. | want
to take away your misery. I'd cut my

believe me, Janet?"
"Oh, Roy. Roy! l am so ashamed.

If Nicoll ever sinned in his life he
was expiating it then. His cry to
her came from as great a depth of
suffering as her own.

RIGOROUS DISCIPLINE
IN BOLSHEV|K ARMY
(By Associated Press)

OMSK, April 5.-A Russian school
master. who was a prisoner Of war in
Germany, and who has arrived at
Omsk, has given to the newspaper
Zarya a narrative of his experiences
since reaching Russia which throws
considerable light on the conditions
in the Bolshevik zones of Russia The
scholmaster said that almost all the
released Russian prisoners were suf-
fering from hunger and practically
destitute of clothing.
At flrst they were received with anil
mostly, but later the Bolsheviki or
ganized propaganda bureaus where
socialistic literature was distributed
to the prisoners in an attempt to con-
vert them to Bolshevism. Meetings
were held and offers were made to
enroll the prisoners in the Bolshevik
armies under the following condi-
lions: A gift of two suits Of clothing,
800 rubles in cash, provisions for two
weeks. The officers were offered
from / 1000 to $500 rubles in cash. The
Bolsheviki, he said, had no success in
recruiting the officers but some sol
diers, who were in the worst physical
condition, accepted their proposals.
The majority, however, deserted, at
the first possible moment.
The schoolmaster said that the dis
cipline in the Bolshevik army is ex-
ceedingly rigorous. For the least in
fraction the soldiers are shot. The
privileged class in the Red army is
made up Of Magyars, Let's, and sail
ors. The rest are supported as out
casts and as possible fodder for can
non. The members of the Russian
middle class are forced to labor in the
trenches of Notifications or to serve
as servants for the Bolshevik soldiers.

says Clarence ]. Bloenker, of St. Louis,
Missouri.
This is extraordinary wear even for
Neolin Soles. But because they are
made by Science to be especially tough
and durable, all Neolin Soles wear a
long time. And shoes soled with them
are real economy.
Buy Neolin- soled shoes for yourself
and for the whole family. You can
get them in many styles-at prices that
are no higher than on shoes that give
only ordinary wear. Have your old
shoes re-bottomed with Neolin Soles,
too.

In Making
Americans

one Of the most interesting observa-
tions at movie shows is the repeated
vocal outbursts Of the children. A
thrilling Western drama provokes
the most excited shouting. The
sight of band Of ranchmen on a
gallop starts the cheering. Gradu-
ally it swells until it bursts forth
in one tremendous, shrill cry Of
mingled hope and fear as the climax
approaches. Suddenly it breaks and
descends to a subdued sigh of re-
lief and joy-the heroine is rescued
from the hands of the villain by q
daring feat of courage. Then fol.
lows a good round of handclappinp
for the hero.
Between reels there is a gan
which must be filled, to avoid rest
lessness and disorder. This is done
in the most useful and effective way
by throwing news notes, announce
ments. and neighborhood jokes on
the screen. On one occasion it is
the Chelsea Veterans Association
that is giving a dance, on another.
it is a joke on the neighborhood COD.
The following slide is exhibited at
every show: "In order to make our
show more neighborly gathering,
we will throw on the screen short
neighborhood news paragraphs, am,
nouncements, and jokes. Leave
your news notes at the guild Office.
If you know a good neighborhood
story, let the rest Of us have a
laugh"
The signal for the dismissal Of
the vast crowd of young spectators
is the Good Night" slide. The
benches, which have served as sort
Of fence during the performance,
are swung open, and the surging
mass of children pours out in all
directions, bound homeward to
dream on in the world of adventure.
In the movie Enclosure a COM
mittee member may be distinguished
by his gold arm-band, which, to the
children, is badge of authority.
