LAW BANS OUTING FOR WIFE
New York Court Upholds Husband
Who Refused to Pay "vaca-
ton" Bill

New York.-Summer vacations are
not looked on by law as necessaries,
and should wife take the children to
either the seashore or country to es-
cape the discomforts of hot weather
without first consulting her husband
about the wherewithal he can not be
taxed later with the cost.
That was the gist of decision hand
ed down by Justices Bauer and Pendle-
ton In the appellate term of the su-
preme court.
: The victory Tor the husbands came
about this way. Catherine Stevens
owns a summer boarding house, where
Mrs. Harry J. Hush of 174 West Seven
ty-ninth street, spent last summer with
her four children. Mr.. Hush was left
behind, and when he received bill for
$179 he demurred. The vacation was
not his. Whereupon Mrs. Stevens sued
and got judgment, which Mr.. Hush,
anxious to help his fellow husbands,
promptly appealed. He said Mrs. Hush
made the contract without his knowl-
edge.

The Editor Star Mirror,
Moscow, Idaho.
Sir:-I notice in the issue of the
Star-Mirror of the 10Th of November
that Ex-Mayor Fassett of Spokane,
has been given the opportunity to ad-
dress the students of the University
of Idaho, in their weekly assembly.
Mayor Fassett, it will be remembered,
is the public official, who recently de-
clined to act on committee to well
come distinguished U. S. Senator to
Spokane, because, as | understand it,
the Senator was opposed to the adop-
ton of the League of Nations in its
present form. Further, it would seem
from your review of Mayor Fassett's
lecture that a considerable part of it
was devoted to arguments favoring
the ratification of the League of Ma
tions without any reservations, or
rather criticized those who favor rati-
fication but with reservations
/ am sure that every one is glad to
know that such distinguished and
able speaker has been secured to adj
dress the students in their weekly as
smbly.
The undersigned has written this
letter for the purpose of asking the
powers that be. when the students

London. Private Peters of the
British army lived five weeks with q
helpless comrade in a hole within
thirty yards of the German trenches.
Their experience is considered the
most remarkable of the war. 1t was
In 1917, at CrOiselles that the fifty
men then remaining Of Private Peters
company were ordered to dig In. The
spot was q sunken road. The men had
passed their objective and run into
their own barrage fire. They fell like
ninepins.
When Private Peters looked up from
his digging only his captain, himself
and a comrade named McGuiness re-
manned. Then the captain was shot
dead and the comrade fatally wounded.
Private Peters went out for a look
around and found a stretcher bearer
with a shattered thigh. He hauled
him into the dugout. The stretcher
bearer had iodine and his wound was
kept free of infection.
Fooled German Officers.
'That night two German officers
came along, but we slammed dead
British stuff was coming over" says
Peters, telling his story.
"Shrapnel lodged on top of our dug
out bits found their way inside. The
German officers stood over us the next
might. But they never searched our
hiding place.
There were sixty dead men lying
about outside. Each night went out

biscuits. The first few days we were

cubes this way. But we soon were re-
duced to rifle oil and wood for fuel.

Taylor, after Peters capture, was
examined by the Germans, who lifted
his sound leg, but he slammed dead /
and they passed on. Then he crawled
through the German trenches, which
were by that time thinly held, over the
barbed wire. across No Mans Land
and to the British lines. But his leg
was so long unset that he will never
walk right again.
