Good dMorning,
Judge!
BY RUDOLPH PERKINS.
Where the Money Goes.

"Jedge," pleaded Benjamin George
Washington Thomas, "Ah guv nah
wife IS to buy herself a top-shirt
with
You mean a shirtwaist. don't
your" the court asked.
Nav, sab, All does not Nah wife
doan wear them ondecent things.
She takes a mans shirt and makes
it fit her"
What has that got to do with
your beating her up?" the court
asked impatiently.
She spent that money on a fel-
low what hangs around a poolroom.
Den she tole me eff All did not lax
ii All knowed what All could do.
And All did that thing, Jedge, but
All nebber hurt her much"
Wifey explained that she merely
loaned" the money to a man whose
mother was sick, but failed to per-
suade her husband to believe 1t.
Thomas gave her a pair of
sinners, but got a bump on the COCO
from a bottle in return.
Since it was 50 near Christmas.
and there are several kidlets in the
Thomas household who might other
wise be disappointed, the court sus-
penueu a HIOnln sentence anQ
placed the man on probation.
A Tenor's Reward.
Now for some grand opera-or
grand uproar as 1t is better known
on Third street southwest.
Bill Strong-folks say that isn't
his right name-has a bass voice,
but Is sometimes called upon to i'm
itate Caruso. The difference be-
tween bass and tenor made no diff
ference to the people who liked to
hear Bill sing.
1t was at ''hop" that the trouble
started. Bill was gurgling away
at the bottom of his voice when he
heard a sarcastic remark about his
music. supposedly from Ernest Nc
Intyre, who sat in a corner.
Ernest swore he did not say IT,
but nevertheless he caught a vase
oft the piano on the point of his
jaw. Then there was a free-for-all
Those who liked good singing and
they heard it took sides. The cops
were neutral and arrested both
kinds.
Only Bill and Ernest showed up
in court The balance forfeited their
collateral of IS each.
Each blamed the other. The
court said they were both right and
fined them a ten spot apiece.
Virginia Good Enough After All.
A few days ago Lucian Payne, a
shoestring peddler. made a foolish
remark about Virginia. He said
that footpads in that State never
thought anything of tapping guy
over the head for a nickel.
Payne was sent down for mental
observation after being convicted of
carrying q gun.
The doctors looked over his mental
machinery and they reported that,
making allowances for age, it was
in fair order.
He was brought up in court again
for sentence. but he pleaded to be
allowed to go back to the alleged
tough State.
On condition that he go back there
and stay there the court suspended
a six months Jail sentence and let
him go.

Dorothy Dix's Advice
THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY.

In one of his admirable essays
about women. W. L. George says
that wife Is an idiot IL she doesn't
and out on her honeymoon whether
swearing or crying Is most effec-
tive with her husband.
And a husband Is equally obtuse
IL he doesn't ascertain within six
months of marriage whether to pull
the cave man stuff on his wife or
spread the salve.
There's always a way to work the
partner of your bosom. but the trou-
BILE with most married couples Is
that they never take the trouble to
find out the combination. They are
as stupid as people would be who
barked their shins, and tore their
clothes, and risked their necks try
ing to climb over a stone wall, when
not two feet away was a doorway
through which they might pass with
ease and comfort, II only they had
wit enough to turn the knob the
right way. :.
OF course there are a few men OF
such a sullerr and morose disposi-
tion. or such tightwads that moth
Ing but their own brutal and selfish
desires appeal to them. They ap-
pear to get married only to have
some helpless creature in their power
on whom they can practice their
cruel humors, and nothing that any
woman can do or say would alter
them.
Such men are, however, extremely
rare, and any woman can get along
with the average man, and get her
way with him. IL only she has sense
enough to find out how to rub his
fur the right way, so that he Will
purr under her hand.
To do this she must study her
man and find out whether swearing
or crying is more effective, as Mr.
George puts It.
There, Is the traditional, belief in
the feminine sex that the easies,
way to run a man is by hydraulic
power. and so they turn on the wa
ter works whenever they want any
thing. Probably this is good as a
general measure. There is some
thing in a woman's tears that melts
down the average mans backbone
into a pulp and makes him give in

CITY DETECTIVES
ARE INDICTED ON
LIQUOR CHARGE

City Detectives Alonzo G. Terry
and Oscar M. Howell and Clarence
Hart, of the Corinthian apartments,
were indicted by the Fulton county
grand jury Tuesday on a charge Of
violating the state prohibition law.
The action of the grand jury fol-
lowed an investigation conducted by
Solicitor General John A. Boykin of
testimony introduced in a recent trial
of Henry Reed, an alleged notorious
negro bootiegger, who was convicted
and sentenced to from seven to
twelve years for murder.
During the trial, Clarence Hart, a
witness, made a statement in which
he accused City Detectives Terry and
Howell with having conducted a
raid on his automobile and seized ten
cases. Of bottled in bond liquor, two
cases of which Hart claimed were
turned into the police station and
the other eight disposed of at the in
stigation of the two detectives. De-
tective Terry. who appeared as a
witness for Reed, was questioned by
Mr.. Boykin relative to the accusation
and he denied the charge. Later he
is said to have gone to theN witness
room and abused Hart for making
the statement, threatening to shoot
him. The two men were separated
by Deputy Sheriff J. Gordon Hardy
and Terry was sentenced to twenty
days in jail for contempt Of court.
Judge John D. HUMPHREYS. who
imposed the sentence on Terry. or
dered copy of the record of the
case furnished to the police commits
sion with a request that the board
investigate certain statements made
on the witness stand involving the
detectives.
A meeting of the board of police
commissioners will be held Wednes-
day night at which time the two de-
tectives will be given a hearing on
the charges made in the indictment
and also at the Reed trial.
The two officers were indicted
Jointly with Griff Freeman, it being
claimed by Hart that Howell and

nose of the eight cases of liquor.

clared France cannot disarm until
Germany has been compelled to full

await the report of a military COM
mission which will meet in Geneva

said
This plan will take into considera-
