Incredible as 1t may appear that

Conspiracy Outlined.
Mr.. Allen told Of the alleged leas-

which the shots were fired, locating
the hall in the minds Of his listeners

II is maintained shots were fired at
the Armistice Day marchers. He then
told of the alleged meetings a, which
the conspiracy to shoot down former

main thoroughfares; the line of
march: the order In the PROCESSION of
the defendant organizations. and then
the actual moving of the parade, were
given In detail to the jury. After the
counter-march, which took place at
Tower Avenue and Third street. some
confusion took place, Mr.. Allen ex-
planned, the result being that some of
the marchers were forced to halt In
the block between Second and Third
streets, on Tower avenue, many Of
them stopping directly In front of the

had reached position just ahead of
the hall nearly at the intersection of
Tower avenue and Second street,

his statement. He then located the I.

Many Shots Fired.

There is an old saying to the effect
that one cannot have his cake and eat
It. Neither can we ship goods abroad in
enormous quantities and retain at
home enough to keep prices from
mounting unless there be great in
crease in production. That foreign
markets are taking an increased pro-
portion of the manufactures produced
in the United States is shown by a
statement by o. P. Austin. statistician
OF the National City bank of New
York, presented at the recent meeting
in San Francisco of the National For
eign Trade council. While it is i'm
possible to state. Mr.. Austin said. the
exact proportion of our manufactures
which finally enter the export trade.
II is quite apparent from a compari-
son of the figures of production and
expectation that foreign markets are
now taking larger share of the out
put Of our factories than ever before.
This is evidenced first by the fact that

believe she's singing" someone said
at the. Leola Lucey- Edison concert
Tuesday night at the high school audi
forum. Few could believe that the
singer was accompanying the record
of her own voice, so alike in tone and
expression were the voices in Miss
Lucey's duet with herself.' When
lights were turned off. it was a baf-.
fling question as to whether it was the
instrument record or the actual voice
that listeners heard.
You're Breaking My Heart With
Goodbye" by Gilman. was one of the
most enjoyed numbers on the pro-
gram. in which Miss Lucey sang an
obbligato part, while the melody was
carried by her voice on the instru-
ment.
Her singing of ''Daddy's Sweet
heart" with her own accompaniment
as an encore at the close of the pro-
gram was pronounced by many to be
preferable to Galli-Curci's singing of
the same number. because, as one mu-
sic lover remarked. you were able to

who Wrecks the Home?-2.
ny DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

Blink the crude fact as we will, it
Is nevertheless a fact, that when we
have to pay the price of poverty, and
shabbiness, and everlasting self de-
NAL for love, and the possession of a
mate and children and home. we balk
at the bargain. And men balk more
than women do.
The bachelor with an, income that
enables him to go in good society and
live in luxury does a little figuring,
and ascertains that what is plenty for
one is scant rations for two. to say
nothing of a possible four or five.
He has his pretty rooms. artistically
furnished. He can afford a little car.
perhaps. He belongs to good club.
He dresses well. He is in demand for
parties In the homes of the rich, for
the man who is not tagged by SUI
perfluOus woman is q jewel above
price to hostesses.
IL he marries all this must be sac
rificed. He must live in small flat
nish it cheaply. He must live among
people who are often ignorant and
uncultivated. HIS wife must be a do
nestle drudge. She must dress shah
billy, as he must. He will be asked no
more to the fine homes where his
bachelorhood was his card of admis-
sion.
Such being the case. is it any won
der that he takes long. lingering
look at the cakes and ale of his single
estate before he gives them up? And
then decides to hang onto them, and
let matrimony go.
But when the bachelor doesn't
marry it isn't fair to lay the blame on
the girls. and say that they demand
too many luxuries. No man really
considers the woman when he makes
his decision to stay unwed. He is
considering his own tastes and com
forts. He is thinking of his own back
and tummy.'
Far more women would take the
risk of poverty for the sake of love
than men, but. they never have the
opportunity to show that they put SEN
timent above an automobile. and
would rather go clothed in romance
than in silk attire. Men don't give
them the chance. The men don't pro-
pose and, after all, it is they who set
tie the matrimonial question. The
most sentimental and least grating
girl in the world can't drag a man to
the altar against his will.
No. Bachelors must find some bet
ter excuse for staying single than that
girls won't marry any man who ism {
rich. 1 dare, and double dare. any one
of them to put the matter to proof by
proposing to the next nice young wo-
man he fancies-but doesn't ask to
marry him.
