ROMANCE BROKEN
BY MOTORCYCLES

BALTIMORE, May 2o.-Four weeks
of married life was enough. to prove
to Mrs. Helen Hillman that she'd
made a mistake in marrying Carl Hill
man. And four weeks OF married life
was enough to show Carl that his
wife was much more interested in
riding on a motorcycle than she was
in performing duties usually ascribed
to a dutiful wife. That's why he
called her a motorcycle bum," he
says.
OF course, no girl likes to be called
"a motorcycle bum" And, anyway,
didn't Carl, not once but several times,
dare her to go riding with fellows on
motorcycles? No. Carl didn't, accord
ing to Carl-but, then, Carl never did
tell a word of truth since she mar
ried him a whole month ago, Mrs. Hill
man explained to Magistrate Rohie-
der, in the Northeastern police court
yesterday.
Helen says she told Carl she'd
wasted a lot OF time marrying him.
He had no accomplishments. He
couldn't ride a motorcycle. He didn't
even have a job. according to his wife,
but Carl denied this-he said he did
have a $20-a-week job and paid board
for himself and his wife.
Helen didn't believe this-but the
motorcycle! Well, IL Carl was going
to dare Helen to go riding on a mo-
torcycle. she'd show him she wouldn't
be dared. So she met a friend whom
she had known before she met Carl
and just naturally went riding be-
hind this gentleman friend" It

WIFE SOLD AUTO;
HUBBY 4PEEVED"

BALTIMORE. May 2O.-Can a man
have his wife arrested for stealing
his automobile and selling It, enrich
ing herself to the extent of 5000?
That is what Frederick {. NcFerren.
forty-two. an automobile accessory
dealer, tried to find out yesterday
when he appealed to Headquarters
Detectives Porter and Quirk to aio
him in recovering his automobile and
finding his pretty young wife. Mrs.
Adeline McFerren. who. it is said, dis
appeared from her home Saturday.
Mrs. McFerren. who is twenty-three
years old. suddenly left the McFerren
home. after disposing of the automO-
bile to a dealer. according to the de
tectives. Mr.. McFerren reported that
his automobile was stolen" on May
10.
McFerren located his car at the
garage but he was informed by Mr..
Meyers that the car had been sold
10 him by Mrs. McFerren and that he
had paid Mrs. McFerren 5000 for the
machine.
According to the detectives, Mrs.
McFerren told Mr.. Meyers that the
car was her personal property, that
her husband had given il TO her for
present. She went further, according
to Porter and Quirk, and made an af-
fidavit to that effect. She was paio
and disappeared, it is said.
Mr.. McFerren wanted to take his
automobile from the garage and was
refused possession of the car. States

FIRST j. S. SHIP TO
WEST AFRICA BACK

NEW YORK. May 2o.-when the
oil-burning liner Beatrice, operated
by A H Bull & Co. for the United
States Shipping Board, entered New
York Harbor recently, she had COM
pleted the first trip ever made by an
American steamship to the west Goa st
of Africa. The Beatrice, $500 tons
-deadweight, sailed from this port
February Z. She was the first of four
American vessels to be placed in
West African service by the Shipping
Board.
Carrying about 5000 tons Of cargo.
including general merchandise. -four.
biscuits, canned goods, hardware, and
cement, the Beatrice made her first
call in seventeen days arriving at
Dakar, in the French colony Of Sene-
gal From there she went to
Bathurst. in British Gambia and
thence to Accra, on the British Gold
Coast.
Capt. E H. Berry. representing the
Shipping Board as supercargo.- made
the trip with the vessel having been
delegated 10 investigate commercial
conditions and harbor facilities along
Africas west coast to report to
Washington on the possibilities of
future trade relations between the
United States and that part of the
African continent.
The arrival OF the first steamship
flying the American flag" said Cap
tain Berry, created somewhat of a
stir along the west coast. American
sailing vessels had called previously
L never a steamship. When the ma
tives observed that we didn't talk
French they assumed we were Eng
lishmen. When told we were Amer
cans they were surprised. but their
surprise was pleasant one, and they
welcomed the coming of American
goods.
Il am optimistic over the future of
our trade with the west coast AL
though there must be close co-opera-
ton on the part of Government de-
partments and energetic efforts bv
American manufacturers and export
ers If this trade is 10 be made per-
manently profitable"
All the cargo OF the Beatrice had
been sold TO British and French i'm
porting houses before the boats ar
rival-there are no American firms
IN the ports visited. These foreign
houses were glad 10 receive Ameri-
can goods, according to Captain
Berry, but il must be remembered. he
said, that stocks have been greatly
depleted during the war. and the Brit
fish and French have not yet had time
10 fully re-establish themselves in
the market.
Captain Berry also pointed out the
need for American consular Offices on
the west coast II the United States
seeks TO capture this trade and hold
IL. Generally speaking, he said. the
foreign importers were pleased with
the condition of the cargo. although
there were a few cases OF damage due
10 faulty packing. At Accra the
Beatrice loaded 5000 tons OF cocoa
beans, which formed the whole OF
the return cargo.

CLOWN IS FEATURE
At HEALTH EXHIBIT

Circuses are not the only things
that have clowns, as 500 Washington
school children, WHO visited the ex-
hibit Of the Interior Department at
Eighteenth and streets northwest
this morning, can testify
OF all the exhibits which Uncle Sam
collected for his health and sanitation
propaganda, Cho Che. the official
school children.
Cho Cho is a method. He is one Of
the means devised by the Division OF
School Hygiene. Of the Bureau OF Ed
ucatiou, to make health and santa
ton popular with the children Of
America.
Performs Twice a Day.
Twice a day, at 10 a m. and II a. m,
Che Che gives a real comedy perform
ance. The remainder of the time he
spends eIbowing visitors and ex
planning TO delighted children the
simple rules of health. .-.
Every student in the District
schools will have an opportunity to
see Che Cho in action. The Board OF
Education has arranged to allow
groups OF children attend the exhibit
every morning.
In addition to his fun-making func-
tions, Che Che has other duties. His
job it is to weigh and measure every
child and issue them health cards.
Some Of the health rules he advo-
Gates are:
ChO-ChO's Health Rules.
A full bath more than once a week.
Brush the teeth at least once day.
Sleep long hours with the windows
open.
Eat some fruits or vegetables every
day.
At least four glasses Of water every
day.
Secretary Lane, in explaining the
theory back of Cho-Cho, stated:
Education in health used to be
made a discipline and drudgery.
Health in the majority Of cases is still
matter Of embarrassing dos and
don'ts. The department Of school hy-
giene in our Bureau of Education has
decided to interest children in health
and to make them enjoy becoming
healthy.
with 5000. 900 und erweight children
in the United States-rich and poor
something must be done, and we be-
1ieve that Cho-Cho will help 20 do il.
He is only one of many methods we
are taking to bring this matter CT
health to the attention Of parents and
teachers, and children themselves. The
Bureau of Education, through its pub
LEGATIONS, letters and exhibits is maxi
ing health education a vital matter IN
every school in the country"

seems that she picked out a brawny
fellow, and then admitted to Carl
she'd done il. She even told him who
she went riding with, adding that he
was husky enough to finish anything
Carl might feel inclined to start
That was enough for Carl. 1t was
time to quit. Carl did. He left Helen
on May 9.
They were both through. Carl
wouldn't live with Helen and she
wouldn't live with him. So the magis-
