So many wives seem 90 think that.
a. long as they have their husbands
meals regularly they are doing their
part. but an average man enjoys
compa nionship more than he does

In such cases the girl Is not to

Convict's Big Rag DOLL" Left in Cell to
Cover Escape, Fails to Win Liberty for Him

and low for the missing prisoner.
Half an hour later they discovered
him in a pipe shop. hidden like
an ostrich in pile of material
in a corner
Prison officials were inclined to
look upon Gatto's dummy as crude
in comparison with the deceiving
mannikin that McAllister, who hap
pened to have been billeted before
his escape in the same block with
Cato, had constructed. Cato had
merely taken some muslin strips,
rags and his pillow, moulded them
roughly to correspond with a torso
and then crudely attempted to
sketch in the features of a face.
McAlliSter's dummy, officials re-
called, had had a head carefully
sculpted out of bits of soap and
wax the copyist had scraped to-
gether by devious means. Features
were worked in perfectly and the
prisoner went so far as to paint in
a likeness of his own flesh COM
pleXion. Also, he cut Off his own
hair and placed it around his soapy
likeness.
Gatto's attempt marked the four
teenth time in fifty years. that the
dummy trick had been tried ON the
watchful Wardens, officials recalled.
Even Cato might have been sue
cessful. it was said, had he had
sense enough to wait three or four
years, like predecessors, until every
body had had time to forget the
last episode.

BY WILLIAM WAKEFIELD.

olnCe the war tnere is much pow
erty in the cities of Montenegro;
scarcely due to unemployment, but
to the want of food, and to the fact
that many people from the villages
have drifted in for shelter. Widows
with few children, who have left
their homes in ruins, have brought
away only the most miserable rags
and have passed through hardships
that can never be told.
There is house in the old town
at Podgoritsa-the chief city of
Montenegro with a population of less
than ten thousand-where the Ameri-
can nurse was brought one day to
see man with pneumonia. She
found him with high fever on an
improvised bed on sthe dirt floor be-
side the fire. There was no window
near and his corner was shrouded
in smoke. There he had to be treated
until his wife could be persuaded
washed room, where he was provided
with a bed and sheets, while the
two windows-small and iron-barred
were opened wide. Here he had a
chance to recover in clean surround
ings.
One day in the same building the
nurse noticed some Goals in a dark
corner behind pile of junk. Inquiries
brought out the fact that a widow
with four children rented that
corner OF the house, while another
family lived in the opposite corner
beside the sick mans room.
The nurse investigated the widows
premises and found, half in the
ashes of the fire, a baby, frightfully.
dirty, apparently a year and half
or two years old, wrapped in a bun
die of rags. When the mother came
home it proved the baby was four
years old and stunted by malnutri-
ton. Born in the typhus year, the
year of it's mothers widowhood, the
poor little creature never had
chance. The mother carried wood
and water in the town, coming home
worn out to her miserable corner,
which measured just six by eight.
1t is comforting to know that the
Red Cross is putting that baby in
bed, and feeding it milk and eggs.
There are several babies on each
nurses list, and though 1 visited al
most all, did not hear one cry. They
are quite the most cheerful babies I
have seen. The Montenegrin cradle
is box on rockers with a hoop over
the baby's head to hold from his face
the blanket which covers everything,
carefully shutting out light and air.
The child lies on a heap of bedding
which quite fills the box; on this he
is bound round and round with
band, drawn so tight that he can't
move arms or legs--how he can

Sing Sing convicts who attempt

cells to fool the alert New York
guards should remember that, like

too frequently it is bound to fail,
Joseph Cato, who arrived at
Sing Sing last February to spend
the next fifteen years as the result
of a certain highway robbery in
which he played a prominent part
in New York city, grew tired of con-
inement after only six months of
it and attempted the dummy trick.
But unfortunately for him he tried
it on Frank Price, Keeper who was
fooled successfully by a convict
named John McAllister three months
ago, who is stiff at large. Price was
suspended after the episode, but
recently returned to the post.
He ordered the prisoners under
his particular care back into their
cells after supper tonight at Z
o'clock, to call the roll, as is Gus
tomary before the men are released
again to go to the movies. He called
out the name Joseph Gatto," but
Joseph responded neither with

scribed later as q big rag doll"

Boil Weevil Makes
Appearance IN Large
Numbers in Comfy

- j. J. Brown, commissioner of ag-
-riculture. on Friday found the cot
ION boil weevil swarming on the
Schaefer Howell farm in the Adams
Vile district of Fulton county.
On some squares he found as many
as five weevils. He found the ground
Uttered with squares which had fall
en- from the cotton stalks because of
she weevil infestation. He filled
bottle with squares and had a bot
lie full of boil weeviis.
= This discovery, he believes, puts
an end to the theory Of north Geor-
ria farmers that they would be i'm
mune from the boil weevil. 1t sat
isles him that the northward march
of the boil weevil is going to con-
tinue until it envelops the whole Of
north Georgia.
For the past four years south

Find Evidence Of Secret Spartacide Scheme Y
For New Revolution in Germany

A complete and carefully drawn
plan to overthrow the present gov
eminent and further world revolu-
ton is contained in secret Spar
tacide circular to it's agents and
district chiefs brought to light in
Berlin. .
The document, which was captured
by the General Bureau for the
Study of Bolshevism;" begins by
regretting that the government
signed the peace treaty, thus de-
laying the inevitable crisis. 1t spec
ulates ON various possible develop
ments and then sets forth a con-
crete plan, the first step of which
would be to hasten an internal
German crisis by tampering with
the home guards of Gustav Noske,
minister of defense, who are de-
clared to be less reliable than for
merly.
The circular urges Spartacide or
CARNATIONS to agitate among the
soldiers by leaflets and verbally.

says. can already be counted as won

T russians Plead With II olIanders MOI to
Give Up "Guiltless Pure Hearted Kaiser

Picturing the former kaiser as a
man of deep religious nature and
pure heart" and as the victim,
not of the allied triumph, but of
Unreasonable machine tions in his
own county," former officers of
the German army and navy give
those, among other reasons, in
support of their plea to the Queen
of the Netherlands not to surren-

allies for trial for his crimes.
The complete text of the appeal
made by these of the old Prussian
military regime has been received
in Washington, D. c.. through off,
cial channels. The appeal is dated
Berlin, June 10, and reads in part:

"A section of our fellow-country-

Married Twice in Year
To the Same Husband

When Mrs. Irene Castle, widow of
Vernon Castle, famous dancer and
aviator, was married to Captain Rob
ert E. fireman, of Ithaca, N. Y, at
the Church of the TRANSPORTATION in
New York City on May last, she
had already been the wife of CAP
tain fireman for almost a year.
On May 81, 1918, a few days after
the tragic death of Vernon Castle al
the flying field at Fort Worth, Tex
when Mrs. Castle, by all published
accounts, was still in grief over the
death of her husband, she and Cap
tain fireman, then a lieutenant in
the flying service, went to Pickens,
S. c., where they were married by
the Rev. Frank A. Julian, pastor of
Christ Protestant Episcopal church,
of Greenville, S. C.
Every precaution was taken to
keep the wedding a secret. Mrs.
Castle refused to be married in
Greenville, which is the county seat
of Greenville county, because it was
too populous a community. SO she
and Captain fireman took DR.. Julian
by automobile from GreenvilIe to
Pickens, which is the county seat of
Pickens county, but a small town off
the main railroad line. There a
marriage license was obtained from
Judge Newberry, of the county pro
bate court, and the ceremony was
performed by DR.. Julian while he
and the principals were seated in
the automobile.

goes on to say that the program

If not impossible.
