Voohies, colored, de- clared in court yesterday that he was afraid to take a chance at sleeping un til he was certain that his wife was peacefully slumbering.
 The negro shoemaker, who was ask ing for divorce, told Judge Stanford that his wife was the sweetest thing in the world before he married ner, but that it was different afterwards.
 "A bulldog would break his chain to get to her. but just cant live with her, your honor" said the witness.
 The negro stated that he married Nora in May, 1917, and two days after tne ceremony the trouble began. He testified that he thought it was custo- mary for man after he was married to tell his@wife about his meals. He an- nounced the hours he liked to have his meals served And handed his wife $2 and told her to go get the meat, he said. She refused he added

Although the regular years work at the Arizona School of Music closed the first of the week, there has been a very large enrolment for summer work, so that activities have ceased but little there. Notwithstanding the interruptions to all schools the past season, much has been accomplished and a very successful year terminated. While students recitals are given weekly, as a feature of the students training, in which pupils from the vari- ous departments of study appear, dur ing the past two weeks nine programs of unusual excellence have been pre- scented. Under the direction of Vivian Florine Young, an evening from the Expression department, and one from the Dancing department, the latter consisting. of a varied program of folk. characteristic, and interpretive dances, were beautifully given. One especially attractive number was the Greeian Frieze, representing Diana and her court, given by ten young ladies. Vocal pupils of Karola Prick and violin of H. Klingenfeld assisted upon the pro- grams.
 Four recitals by intermediate and advanced piano pupils from the classes of Frank Ronald Evans, Orley J. Hes, Mrs. Chas. T. Weir and Edith E. Ed wards, together with violin, vocal and expression pupils, were given; and three programs from the piano primary training department, in charge of Mrs Luther Steward. One recital by first year pupils from the age of five up, one entire ensemble program, consist ing of duets, trios, quarters, sextets, and duos for two pianos, and one pro- gram of superior merit given by gradu- ateS from the training department by children from six to twelve years, who played selections by such masters as Haydn, Mozart, Crieg, Mendelssohn, Tschaikowsky, Schytte and Kullak. with wonderful technic and taste for such young students. The work in the training department takes up the study of music theoretically from the very beginning, so that the pupil, no matter if very young, plays with a real under standing, the compositions studied. On all the programs given, most of the ac- compartments to the violin and vocal numbers were played by piano students of the school; so that the young people are also given training to enable them to become artistic accompanies: and several young children nine and ten years of age, already show marked tal- ent in this line of work. Next Septem- Der, this splendid institution will open its sixteenth year.

I couldn't swallow" declared the wit ness. He also complained that his wile's language was forcible. During their brief married life, he testified, Mrs Noohies left him four times.
 The defendant admitted that she had left her husband. but only after his abuse. She said that the last time she went away it was at his invitation.
 Voohies is known about town also as Brown, and he said he used the names impo rtially, one being his mothers and the other his fathers.
 Judge Stanford granted the decree and allowed each party to retain their own property, over which there was a disagreement.

Where AIIIes Got Timber.

Timber was essential to military op-
erations, az carried ON during the war
against the Huns. The chief war thea
ter was northern France and timber
was available largely because France
had practiced forestry for generations.
One hundred years ago the south
western corner Of France, extending
from Bordeaux to the Pyrenees
mountains was almost as treeless as
the prairie, and was fringed by sand
dunes which were constantly in move
ment. burylng fields and houses and
even whole villages. Napoleon called
in engineers and fOresters. These
men succeeded in holding the dunes in
place by planting with maritime pine |;
and then they planted up the whole in
terror Of the region with the same tree.
During the war this region was the
largest source Of lumber not only for
the French army, but for the British
aud American armies as well.

Trees a. AsrIals for wIrsIsss.

1t is dificult indeed to find some
thing really new In radio communion
ton. Things which are hailed as new
In the daily press are more often
apt to prove merely developments or
improvements along well.knOwn lines,
and 1t is In that class that the recent
tree aerial tests at Washington fall.
AS far back as 1907, experiments were
carried out in which trees were EN-.
ployed as aerials. In the recent tests
messages were received over quite a
distance by means of tree aerials. It
was also pointed out that messages
could be transmitted through the
agency of tree aerials over short dis
tances. However, in view of the re-
markedly sensitive receiving apparatus
available today, the use Of tree aerlals
is no more remarkable than 1t was
back in 1907. with the relatively crude
instruments Of that tlme.-Scientific

PATHETIC RUINS OF FRANCE
Once Pretty Villages Which Are az
Dead as the Remains Of the
Roman Forum.

Most OF the villages Of northern
France are as dead and cold as the
ruins Of the Roman forum-and not
half so beautiful. Here were no great
architectural splendors. No priceless
art collections. They were nothing
but plain, humble little hamlets of
plain, hard-toiling peasants. The
houses were destroyed and the simple,
brave, hardy folks who owned them
were also destroyed. The graveyards
OF the men / had seen at scissors,
Champagne, Verdun, row upon silent
row. Here were the graveyards Of
their homes, village after village, as
dead as the men. The only difference
was that the soldiers had been buried
underground while these CHASTITY mu-
tilated wrecks still remained exposed
to view, writes Elizabeth Frazer in
Saturday Evening Post
There was more of this kind of
scenery. And more. And more and
more. And at last-s0 soon does the
mind become stated by mere fiat exter.

feel yelling up inside of me a vague
Irritation against all these grave
yards Of gaping, mutilated specters Of

passibly the same. / wanted them to
get better or wanted them to get
wOrse-Or wanted them to be blotted
clean OFF the map. Those mutilated
corpses Of towns, with their stark i'm
mobility, their contorted postures,
their shattered members lying rigidly
outstretched on the pavement, began
to get on my nerves. They had the
same stiff fxity, the same grotesQue
sprawl that one notes In a human
corpse frightfully mangled by a shell.

in battle and unacceptable, even
their identification plates gone. Here
were their counterparts In hRmlets.
The lieutenant, searching his map,
murmured doubtfully: ut might be
A or it might be B. It's hard
to say"
These nameless ones put into list
all by themselves and called them X.
But presently gave it up. 1t was too
much like trying to count the volume
of water in a reservoir by means Of an
eye drOpper.
