Connecticut Woman Divorcee "Fan" Who Followed Clubs
 About.

Stamford, Conn.-NTrs. Mildred Cohn of Noroton, Conn, obtained a divorce from her husband Edwin E, COhn, because, she said, she had been supplanted in his affection by the American league
 Edwin, she alleged. just wouldn't stay at home when the baseball sea son opened but spent his time and money in travelling about the country with various teams. He left her at home. she says.
 In 1915, she charged, he disappeared entirely. The only way she could trace him, she continued. was by writ ing to various big Ieague managers he knew and asking them if they'd seen Edwin. Connie Mack of the Ath- .letics. replied to her query that he had and the eXasperated Mrs. Cohn brought suit for divorce.

Priest Hears Shots From Policeman's Revolver. Dashes Out and Out strips the Policemen in Hunt

New YOrk.-Rev. John J. Coogan, Catholic chaplain of the police depart ment, deserted an excellent luncheon In the rectory of St. Jeromes church in East 137th street to chase four blocks after man who was suspected of robbing cafe, and captured the fugitive single handed in the coal bin of an apartment house. He was In conversation with others of the clergy in the parish house when four shots from policeman's revolver parked in the street outside.
 Ranks as Inspector.
 On the police department rolls Fa- ther Coogan ranks as inspector. He could hardly be expected even in this official capacity to embark personally on the pursuit of minor offenders against the law. The inspector usual ly insists on the cops doing the foot work. Not so Inspector Coogan. He dashed without apology from the rec tory and reached the street in five leaps, nearly bowling over one of the detectives engaged in the chase. Up the street he saw the heels of the suspected robber racing along.
 'Tll help you" exclaimed Father CoOgan. And he ran with the off, cers.
 The fugitive turned into an apart ment in West 136th street and made for the upstairs room. Father Coo gan was assigned to the cellar and the detectives and a policeman rum- maged through the house. One of the detectives found the man under a bed, but when he dragged him out the fugitive dashed past, headed for an air shaft. Before the detectives could stop him, he had swung through the opening, plunging downward.

BOOKMAKINC
 IS PUT UNDER
 BAN INFRANCE

PARIS July (by Associated Press) ).-So many queer looking races tdespized outsiders defeating illus trious horses) have been uncovered at the metropolitan tracks since the opening of the racing season that Baron Maurice de Rothschild, himself one of the largest owners in France as well as deputy for Pau, has brought the matter to the attention of the French chamber.
 Baron de Rothschild has asked the chamber to pass law for the SUD- pression of book making in Paris and larger cities in France, the books to be replaced by Pari-mutual booths in the cities.
 The French government receives ten per cent on all moneys taken in at the pari-mutual booths at the var ious tracks. As the amounts bet at the different tracks vary from 5,000,- 900 to 10,000,000 francs daily the French government derives from the racing industry a revenue of between 500,000 and 100000 francs per day
 Baron de Rothschild said in the French chamber that more money was bet with the books operating in Paris each day than at the tracks estimat- ing that 10,000,000 francs per day were wagered in the city alone This is net loss of 100000 francs a day for the government. He charged that several races had been run with such fragrant evidence of crookedness that had such racing been attempted in England or America, the owners, trainers or jockeys would have been ruled off the turf for life.
 It has been alleged that the book makers gather in all the city money in the forenoon, no bet being accept ed under any circumstances after one o'clock. This gives them ample time to journey to the race track and, II tkey find that they are overloaded on any one horse and stand to lose too much, to use a little persuasion on the jockey piloting the animal.
 Jockey Brethet has just been ruled \. off for life. He was up on Zizanie II an overwhelming favorite with the public. He did not finish in the money and his bad riding was so evi- dent Che was an apprentice jockey, not an expert in the gentle art of pulling horse) that the judges sum- moned him into the stand. He promptly admitted having pulled the horse but claimed not to be acquaint- ed with the men who made it worth his while to lose the race.
 This is one instance out of many which Baron de Rothschild says will kill racing in France unless the gov ernment takes stern measures for the suppression of bookmaking in Paris.

CANAL BLASTING
AIDS PRINCESS SHIP

PANAMA. March 30 Cby the Asso-
ciated Press) ).-Blasting operations in
the Culebra cut section of the canal
were necessary today before the Brit
ish battleship Renown, with the Prince
of Wales on board. could proceed
through the great waterway.
AS the Renown neared the point
where landslides have recently oc-
Cured, boats went ahead and made
soundings, discovering a rock fifty
feet square directly in the course to
be taken by the vessel. After a wait
of two hours the rock was removed
at tho risk of dislodging more land
slides, and the Renown was towed
through the dangerous and narrow
channel
This was the only hitch in the pro-
gram arranged for the princes visit
to the Panama canal. When the Re-
nown arrived at the Atlantic end of
the waterway it was boarded by Gov
Harding. President Lefevre. American
and French representatives and COM
manders of the United States military
and naval and isthmian forces. When
Gatun dam was reached Gov. Harding
explained the operation of the canal,
the prince expressing astonishment at
the magnitude of the engineering feat
accomplished there.
Renown, the only toasts being to Presi-
dent Wilson and King George. The
British minister gave a dinner, recep-
tion and dance in honor Of the prince at

HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE.

The old time theory OF road
maintenance was to go over the
road with some kind OF scraper
or drag IN the spring and push the
dirt, mud and dust from the gutter
into the center Of the road The
next item it rained all the loose
material went back into the gutter.
Then came a period when large
Sums were spent in substantial con-
struction along leading highways
but there WIS 30 sufficient plan Tor
maintenance. As soon as little
hollow got started it would keel
growing, and in one or two seasons
become very bad hole.
In Many localities the system OF
road patrollng is now established
The patrol arrangement may ne
simply one man who carries spade,
pick, and scraper. He is perhaps
made responsible for 20 mile
stretch. When he sees hole start
ing, he fills it up before it gets
any worse. Persistent work OF TINS
kind at very moderate expense will
save a very costly construction job
later on.

TEACHING PATRIOTISM.

Some wears ago the idea of having
school children salate the Hay as q
method OF teaching PATRIOTISM
spread quite widely over the coun-
try. 1t was q useful exercise, stlll
It did not inoculate very definite
ideas in the childs mind.
Representative }. w. Summer
Of the state Of Washington, recent
" arranged patriotic memory
contest in the school in his district.
His purpose was to encourage them
TO memorize the : American S Creed
a strong statement OF Americanism
prepased by Mr.. William T. Page
Great numbers OF Children commit
ted this creed to memory, and were
given prizes.
This is good patriotic work.
Every school child should learn
some statement in which basic
American principles are embodied
in a few we'll chosen words. Early
impressions are strong. Children
shown at an early age what America
stands for will not later be lead
away by disloyal influences.
