the cost of high living" has now
placed her behind French prison
bars. The method, which was sim
pie enough. consisted in buying
thousa nds Of francs worth of robes,
hats. etc either on credit or giving
worthless checks in payment. Paris
dressmakers arc out more than 75.-
900 francs on her account. while
bills of the other creditors in Paris
and AiX-les- Bains brings the total
well above 100000 francs.
She came to Paris in April wit h
letters of introduction. took A sump-
tuous apartment in one of the best
hotels, hired limousine and began
her visits to drcssmakers. Her first
purchase was a fur trimmed coat
for $1,000 francs. for which the
store respectfully presented the bill
naturally II could not afford to
demand immediate payment from
such a customer. With that bill to
show as her credit. Catherine pro-
cccded to a jewelers., where she got
$1,000 francs worth of gems and
gave an order for a diamond rope
i've feet long. She used these tao
tics next to have fourteen hats made,
mere caprice" as she explained.
Later she varied her system by buy
ing 1000 francs worth OF gloves on
he strength of a worthless check.
Meanwhile her Paris creditors
were beginning to have doubts,
called more often at her apartment.
Catherine always happened to be
out" but the various creditors soon
met at her door and compared notes.
That led last week to the arrest of
her husband. who kindly gave the
creditors a few pawn tickets which
they redeemed at their own expense.
Now Catherine has Joined her hus-
band after giving back some of her
purchases. but is leaving her hotel
keeper to pay for her limousine.

Notes BY a Washington Observer
Upham Explains G. O. P. System-Ceddes
Entertains Fellow Scot-Jones
Fighting "Alien Clique %

Fred w. Upham, the Republican
national treasurer. who yesterday
before the Kenyon committee as
sumed full responsibility for the
idea of $4,000 campaign subscrip-
tions, discussed the subject freely
with the writer at Chicago the
other day Upham's view is that
there are hundreds OF Republicans
who can afford a $4,000 or even
a $4,000 subscription as easily as
other Republicans could afford only
$50 or 500. Anticipating his tes-
timony. Upham went on to say that
the day was gone when the G. o. p.
campaign fund was raised within
a block of Trinity churchyard, New
! York" This year, he predicted
there would be nearly so, 900 indi-
vidual subscribers to the party war
chest and he foresees the time when
/ 100000 Republicans will do their
{ bit" to insure the election Of
Presidents Of their own political
complexion.
Geddes Entertains Another scot.

Ambassador, is entertaining a

John Foster Fraser, newspaperman,

knows US about as thoroughly as

SEEK TOCURB
FOOL AIRMEN
French Seeking Laws to
Protect Pedestrians From
Stunt Fliers.
Heraid-PubIic Ledger
Service-SpeciaI Cable DispatchD

Paris, Sept. l0.-Various news
papers and public spirited citizens
began a campaign yesterday for a
new code of laws to make the world
safe against foolish aviators. Since
the tragedy at Grand -MontrOgue
when a fOOlhardy army fiier caused
the death OF four children. French
Legislators have been scanning old
laws and the best they can tind is
an article in the civil code carry
ing a penalty of three months to
two years with a maximum fine OF
500 francs for homicide caused by
negligence of citizen. But the
case Of aViators opens a new field
just as did the introduction of rail-
roads and automobiles in every
day life.
1t will become a difficult problem
to determine routes in either case
when an aviator has the right to
fly over cities or when he has not.
There is no existing law to hold
a fier liable and the French be-
cause they are dominant in aero
nautics. are more concerned in the
public safety as each new aerial
wizard performs some latest dare
devil stunt.
A prominent jurist interviewed
today said there is no doubt that
the question of aerial legislation
must have international concur
renee and must bring vast changes
in the laws pertaining to communi-
cations, transportation and com
merce. The Aero Club of France
has registered strong protest
against trick aviators flying over
crowds and asks the parliament to
make adequate provisions for the
future.

She Tells Court in Bigamy Hearing

he didn't remember the ceremony

A HOMELY PHILOSOPHER.

MY eyes are crossed. but / can see
The beauty that surroundeth me.
My nose is snubbed, but it can sense
The fragrant fower's redolence
My ears are huge, but they can hear
Life,s music sounding far and near.
My lips are crooked. yet with cheer
Can smile away a bitter sneer.
My back is bent, but it can bear
portion of my brothers care.
I've suffered since my early youth,
Yet still can speak the word of truth
And since these features serve me
well
! pause grinning world to tell
That though no grace in them may
be
They're plenty good enough for me!
