Movements Of "BIu Dlpper."

The naval observatory says that the
big Dipper" moves in a circle around
the pole star once In every % hours. 50
minutes, this being the length Of ash
dereal day. When above the pole the
constellation moves from cas-. to west /;
when below the pole from west to
east. The motion is apparent only, be-
Ing due to the actual rotation of the
earth, and. like the dlurnal motion Of
the sun and moon, takes place In the
opposite direction to that of the earth's
rotation.

tions piled up on the tables in the hall and
went unopened because genius must not
be disturbed; even kilograms we're ignored,
while Thomas himself spent his days at
The Casino, the beach and in the gay homes
OF his gayer friends. And his wife was "at
home" to no one.
No one? Well, not exactly, for there
were two kindred souls in the colony, the
cousins Troubetskoy, Pierre, the sculptor
and Paul the painter. Having the artistic
temperament in common with the two
cousins, Mrs. Thomas liked nothing better
than TO sit for hours in soul communings
with them. Thomas did not object to find.

thought he was the one to talk about
wrongs and rights, too, for that matter
So the battle was on between temperament
and matrimony. y
With the coming of Summer there was
a wide breach between husband and wife,
They took a Newport house, however, al
though Blanche insisted that she would
not entertain in general way, but devote
herself to writing and cultivating her
artistic sense.

seemed as though her temperament was
finding,its truest, finest outlet. She gave
up writing, for, as she explained, she could
neither think nor create in the feverish
atmosphere, and as she needs tranquility
for the outpourings Of her soul, Il was
better TO drop all thoughts of literary work
and devote herself to helping win the war
After the armistice Mrs. Thomas went to
Paris. and then word came that she had
secured a divorce. Paris has been the
happy hunting ground lately for American
women seeking divorce and over there the
nows caused no sensation. But over here
Il came as a bombshell, for II let loose all
the gossip that had been seething under
cover for some time, and so we are back
AZ the beginning OF our story. Will the
temperamental Mrs. Thomas marry John
barrymore?
The Washington times., 1920-08-08

Society, like the average husband, has
difficulty in appreciating morbid genius
when that genius belongs to the family.
It's all right on the stage, but who cares
for morbidity at the breakfast table or
freside? When Thomas read these early
verses of his wife he made a real albeit.
gentlemanly, row. Over on First avenue
a husband would have clouted friend wife
over the head II she had talked such stuff.
But Fifth avenue has different manners.
Eventually these manners lead to the di-
vorce court, while the sterner manners OF
First avenue usually lead to peace and
reconciliation, when they don't end in the
police court
Following this episode, Mrs. Thomas
packed up her children. they we're now
two, and went to Lakewood, where she
sought solace in the pines for her bruised
spirit, Again genius broke loose and Il
was while there that she added further
fuel to her husbands fire by writing a
series OF quatrains. The following one
was the most offensive TO the husband:
20 come, my soul has'lived thousand
nights
Within a moments dream Of you,
beloved
So let us build this hour OF delights
And give our wrongs the title OF our
rights"
How could anyone live a thousand
nights in a moment7 According TO
Thomas no one could. and what did Blanche
mean anyway by talking about wrongs and
rights? In his opinion, as a husband, he

But others say that both society and
Broadway are unjust to the beautiful
divorcee. Her temperament means a great
deal to her. When a woman makes a
tremendous sacrifice for possession it is
no easy matter for her to surrender that
possession, even under the pressure of
love.
And despite the present state of affairs,
it was sacrifice for Mrs. Thomas to seek
a divorce, for she, displeased her family
and practically went against her religious
faith by so doing.
To paraphrase a popular quotation, "the
girl is mother to the woman" and the
Blanche Thomas of to-day is the logical
development of the Blanche Oelrichs Of
yesterday, who delighted in setting all
Newport by its ears before and during her
marriage.
\ AS fapper, Blanche, the younger daugh-
ter of Charles Oelrichs, was daring and
brilliant, and these qualities intensified as
she grew older. The year OF her debut,
when she might have had New York at her
feet, her dazzling brunette beauty making
her sensational success, she decided to
give up society and 60 in for writing in
serious way She started TO write play,
but turned to poetry as a means OF ex-
pressing herself.
Just when her family despaired, an un-
expected attack of love Interrupted her
literary flight She fell desperately in love
with Mr. Leonard Thomas, son of the
Charles Thomases, of Philadelphia, and
married him before she thobght of her
temperament. Mrs Oelrichs was elated;
matrimony would surely cure Blanche's
poetic and artistic urge But the honey
moon over, this urge again got in its work,
and one day she invited some friends In
for tea and read them her latest effort
They we're hardly the verses of happy
wife, and they failed to appeal to her hus-
band. How could they7
Il wake in weariness
And fall asleep in tears.
Tell me, is this lifes measure
For all the future years?
For II II is, my dear,

and across the veranda they clumped.
Thomas. being bred TO conventional stand
ards tried to be polite.
Mrs. Thomas is engaged, she cannot
see you now,' he started to explain, but
Mrs. Thomas was electrified, and with a
swirl of her filmy chiffon draperies she
bounded toward the veranda. "Oh, Paul,
oh, Pierre, this is heavenly. Do come in.
We are reading my new poem and ! must
have your advice. and, Of course, you'll
stay for breakfast"
Could any husband stand anything like
this? He could not. Without a word
Thomas grabbed his Panama from the
stand and fed from his messed-up home,
a thundercloud in full action. Mrs. Thomas
shrugged her slender shoulders, in true
melodramatic fashion, her eyes snapped
and her bosom heaved under the trans
parencies of her boudoir gown. Never

WAS BIG BIZ PATRIOTIC?
Just Read the Following and
 Decide for Yourself.

The claim that business must be stimulated by big profits in war time was handled without gloves by Con gressrnan Griffin of New York, who said men risked their lives on the battle field, while business men were demand ing high prices 'in order to stimulate them to produce things essential for the conduct of the war"
 The ordinary, time-honored, but yet revered spirit of patriotism was to be sufficient to stimulate the mechanic the farmer, the clerk, the teacher, and the 1aborer," said the law maker
 These must skimp themselves out of meager salaries to buy liberty bonds, but the great masters of industry, the hnanciers and big producers, must, for sooth, have the encouragement of war profits. With, this example before them of paternalistic governmental indul- gence, was 1t any wonder that all oth- CTS, neglected in the beginning, should strive to come under the patriarchal cloak? When all were safely sheltered under this vicious precedent, then labor asserted itself and claimed the right to enhanced compensation.
 Nor can they be blamed for that. When they were compelled to pay 16 and IS cents a bottle for milk to keep life in their babies; 10 cents<for a five cent loaf of bread and double prices all along the line for meats and vegetables, clothing and the necessities of life, were they far astray from the equities when they demanded only a propor- tional increase in wages? When the corporate gougers found that the pay nent of increased wages cut deeply in- to their profits their next step was to increase their profits"

 There are two men in the United States whose income last year was over $l6,OO00O0. There ar& nve men in the United States whose income last year was over $5,0O0,000 apiece In 1914, before the war started, there were 60 men whose annual incomes were over $1 100000 apiece. Last year there were 248 men whose incomes were over S1 100000 apiece. In 1914 there were IA men whose incomes were between $50O,O0O and $1,000,O0O apiece Last year there were 405 men whose incomes reached this immense sum. In 1914 there were 147 men whose incomes were between $300,000 and $400,000 apiece.
 Today there are 400 men who enjoy that large income. In 1914 there were 130 men whose incomes exceeded $25O,00 and was under $300,000. Now there are $50 who enjoy that income. In 1914 there were 233 men with an in- come between. $2O0OO0 and $250,OOO.

PICKING ON PALMER.

The s1eepless Mir. Palmer was in his finest fettle on May Day. Without him, we were assured, there would have been something to make the Sicilian Vespers look petty and commonplace. Pretty much everybody of importance outside of Bo1shevikia would infallib1y have been murdered. As it was, no- body got so much as scratch. All those desperate, b1ood-imbrued men, each with his victim marked and the bomb prepared, the knife sharpened, the
 'gat" loaded, as soon as they realized that the Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer was camping on their trail, weakened and threw up their hands On all that day of dread and fear, there was no Rad ical lion but roared, If ev all, as gently as sucking dove. Yet there was no doubt about what was intended. We are assured that the Department of Justice had positive proof of 1t. It knew just what prominent citizens were to be killed, and just what Reds" were to do the killing. The rest was easy. It simply surrounded each potential vic tim with defensive guards, and each po- tential slayer with restraining guards. So there you were. Nobody could hurt anybody, and nobody could get hurt
 What puzzles some inquisitive souls, however, Is the fact that, as record, Fin no case were the assassins arrested" ]" The Department, remember, had posi- tive proof of their guilt. It had proof that they had conspired to do murder, and had prepared to carry out the de- sign. Yet it made st0t single arrest. Why? Since when has conspiracy to murder been negligible peccadillo ?- Harvey's Weekly.
