and busy smile she went on her way.
The girls looked up from their read

self-conscious, she walked through the
adjoining house. There to her relief
she found her studious little Jewish
friend of the shop. The girl took her
around and introduced her to a num-

Married life requires compromise on
the part of both husband and wife
You must realize that your husband Is
tired after his days work and enjoys
the quiet of his home. On the other
hand he should realize that you need
change just as much as he needs
rest after his work. To be fair to you
he should take you somewhere at least
once in two weeks. If you want to
go away oftener than that, he should
be willing to let you go. l think, how.
ever. that you can find much of your
enjoyment during the day, and that
you should sacrifice your own desires
to make his evenings more pleasant
If you want to go out once a week, OF
course that is not unreasonable.
Stay home with your husband q
week or two without asking to go any
where. Then some time when he is in
particularly good humor suggest a
compromise whereby he does what
you want him to one night a week
if you stay in the home and make his
evenings pleasant the rest of the
week. In case he is unreasonable

THE SETTLEMENT

The Settlement House consisted of
two reconstructed old-fashioned, con-
Meeting brownstone dwellings in the
midst of seething tenement district
east of the Bowery. At the entrance
of one of the basement doors was
neat sign: Mothers Club. Meetings
from to 9 p. m. Free. Welcome.
At the other were two placards: kin
dergarten" and Nurses Department.
Free Advice"
Annie decided the stoop entrance
was the one for her. The door was I'M
fastened. She opened it and found
herself in a reception hall from which
opened an attractively furnished room.
Her first impression was Of unbeliev-
able spaciousness and cleanness.
Annie drew long breath and look
ed into the big room. She got quick
picture of gray-blue walls and hang
ings, and golden lamplight glowing
upon long table, at which girls were
reading. Without examining the fur
nishings in detail, she felt the quality
of everything. She knew that the pic
lures hanging in discreet spaces were
good pictures, we'll framed. That the
tables and bookcases were of GER
tain artistic rightness, though very
plain All was quiet, orderly. warm
and handsome. So much SO that An
ME felt vaguely uncomfortable and
afraid of it.
AS she stood hesitating in the vide
doorway a woman came into the room
from an opposite door and walked
toward Annie with an inquiring smile.
Annie noticed her .shirt-waist before
she noticed her face. 1t was an ex-
pensive blouse of soft silk, we'll fitted
and immaculate. Annie appraised il
to be of the $30-a-dozen type. Her
firm didn't make that line.
Looking for some one? Or one
of the classes?" the woman asked.
NO. ma'am," Annie hesitated. "One
of the girls at the shop told me-said
l could come here"

REDUCE PRICES
Mayor Receives Report Of Drivers
Ext0rting the Publlc-TO Call
Meeting for Showdown.

Drastic action against taxicab
drivers in Rock Island is being con-
templated by Mayor M. Schriver,
due to the many complaints that
the drivers are extorting upheard
of prices from their patrons.
One of the complaints received
by Mayor Schriver came from a
man who said that he had been
charged So by taxicab driver for
taking him from Second avenue AMI
Nineteenth street to Fifth avenue
and Thirty-eighth street.
Mayor Schriver and City Attorney
J. X. Scott have given the matter
full consideration and said that
they have practically agreed upon
calling a number Of the taxicab
drivers in meeting at the city hall
and have the situation talked over.
One of the city laws provides a
full price list to govern taxicab
service, and this has been violated
for some time, it was declared.
Prices under the city ordinance
are:
For one passenger, not exceeding
one mile, SO cents.
For each additional passenger Is
cents for the first mile.
For one or more passengers. for
the second mile and subsequent
miles or part thereof, Is cents for
each passenger for each mile or
part thereof.
In addition to these prices the
ordinance provides that taxicab
drivers, hiring their machine by
the hour, shall not charge over $3.50
| for the first hour and 81 for each
additional hour or part thereof.
The mayor and city attorney sad
that as this ordinance has been in
effect for some time 1t might BIZ
that the prices might be too low tc
meet present conditions.
However, they said that nj
changes will be made in the city sci
] prices until the matter is gone ovel

Of the place. The consideration is
in the neighborhood Of $1,000.
The store was closed yesterday

Of the week as the third of the

FRAMES HOLDUP
and CONFESSES
SHOOTING SELF
Roy Carothers Causes Big Commo.
tlOn Near Home Last Night
Old Story, Police Say.

When is a holdup not a holdup?
The Rock Island police have
claimed that about half Of them are
not and never were real holdups,
and today they have case that
they are presenting in proof OF
their contention.
Roy Carothers, 30 years old. liv-
ing at 723 Twenty-ninth street, shot
himself through the palm Of his
left hand with q 80 calibre re-
yolver while in the alley back OF
his home at o'clock last night,
then yelled robbers, murder, fire,
police, according to neighbors. OF
FL the things he called for. the po-
lice were the only ones to answer
lin. and in addition some 'steen
.,eighbors nearly broke their necks
tripping over door stills getting out
to see what was wrong. and then
nearly Knocked the doors down try
ing to get back into their homes
when the first piercing cry Of rob-
hers and murderers smote clearly
on their ears.
Commissioner Frank WITCH, living
at 815 Twenty-ninth street, was
one of the first to hear the cries
and turned in q hurried call to the
police station.
Detectives Dennis Bennett and
Charles Ginnane put one Of the po'
lice station automobiles at its best
speed getting to the scene After
hurried investigation Of the case
they sent back a call for Police
chief Tom Cox.
On arriving Chief Cox found Car
others in his home, highly excited
and blood dripping from the gun
shot wound in his left hand.
Caro1hers told the police thai
while coming through the alley ir
the rear of his home he was sci
upon by robbers. Carothers put w
a fight and the robbers sho,
him, he said. The robbers then
took s4OO out of his pockets and
in their haste dropped the revolver
in the alley that they had used te
shoot their victim with, according
to Carothers' story.
Neighbors were sympathetic, bu
the police officers were suspicious
The more they questioned Caroth.
ers the more suspicious they be
came. They ended up by bringing
the man to the police station.
C0nfesses Whole Story.
This morning Carothers con
fessed that he shot himself. He
told the police and other witnesses
that he did not have $500 for the
robbers to take. On the other hani
he is $500 in debt in bills and note.

which allows cut rates on merchan-
disc. and the newly purchased
store will be similar.
Catherine v. Ryan, who acted as
assistant to Mr.. Diedrich in the
store, will become an employe of
the Battles levenstine store on
Third avenue near Seventeenth
street, which is operated under the
service plan. A staff Of clerks will
later be secured for the new cash
and-carry store and Mr.. Diedrich
will remain in charge.
Plan Is Success,
H. A. Clevenstine, in commenting
today upon the purchasing and
opening Of the new community
store, remarked that the plan is q
successful one in Rock Island. He
said that from the service plan
store on Third avenue and from
the two cash-and- cary stores, the
firms income during the past year
was 100000. Lower prices and
larger returns are possible when
the needless overhead such as de-
livery, telephone and clerical ser.
vice cost is cut down he points out
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-12-30

and the notes coming due. He
said he owes q woman In Milan
$500 and 5000 to other persons.
He said he struck upon the hold
up idea to gain . little time in
making payments. The police said
that Carothers' plan was q fairly
good one and showed little more
originality than in numerous other
fake holdup cases they have met
with. when, in most cases. some
hubby plans q holdup to furnish
himself an alibi for spending too
much money in having Q good time,
or to make up for losses at cards.
Women are also said to have pulled
the holdup hoax on frequent occa-
sions in order to fool their hus-
bands after spending more than
their allowance.
Carothers Made Mistake.
However. there are weak points
in all plans made by the self ap-
pointed victims Of holdup men and
Carothers' case ran true to form.
Carothers said that the gun with
which he was shot was lost in the
alley by the holdup men. However,
the police proved beyond doubt that
the gun is Carothers' own property
and that he purchased it yesterday
at a pawn shop at 800 Twentieth
street. As is required Of all pawn
shops a detailed list OF sales and
purchases are made to the police
and Carothers' purchase yesterday
came along in the regular report
which was closely examined by the
police after the affair Of last night
When confronted with this EVIL
dence the man made no further at
tempt to hold out on his original
story. In explanation Of his act he
said that his wife died a year age
and that he has been in ..topsy
turvy state Of mind" since.
He said that he is employed al
the Rock Island Sash & Door works
and had plunged into debt.
He is being held on charge o.
carrying concealed weapon.
Cases Not Unusual.
Such cases. but only few where
actual self shooting Is carried out
are frequent, the police said today
/ They enumerated number o.
holdups which they had proven

of the sensations of a few week.
