Remark Might Have Led Beau to
Imagine She DisapproVed of
His White Clothes.

Mrs. Morgan had a colored maid
named Sarah. One Sunday afternoon
the mistress saw Sarah's lover leaving
the house clad in suit of white fan
mel. A little later, when the maid ap-
peared, her mistress said:
Sarah, that beau of yours should
never wear white. He is so black that
white clothes makes him appear all
the blacker. Why don't you give him
a hint?"
"Why, Mis- Morgan" said Sarah,
with animation, 81 done give him lots

Germans Spy
on Red Moves

SALONS held with German officials,
communists, hotel walters, porters, po-
liCemen on the streets and chauneurs.
He was, however, in doubt about
the correspondents opinions regard
ing communism and wanted to know
about a certain interview with lead
ers of communists who were fighting
near Eisleben.
Communists In Majority.
'You made a speech to them and
appeared to have been favorably re-
ceived," he said. "What was your
purpose and what did you say3"
Assured there had been no speech
making, the superintendent summoned
the chauffeur, who had been employed
by. the correspondent In an effort to
reach the communists. The official
finally was convinced the visit was
only for the purpose Of securing infOr-
nation and that no influence, except
an American passport as identlf1ca-

He then dismissed the correspond.
ent, who, however, next day was again
arrested as he entered the local police
headquarters. There followed anoth-
er examination which ended only
when the American threatened to re-
port the treatment he had received to
the proper government official in Ber-
lin.
The attitude of the police and their
very palpable nervousness arose, they
explained, out Of the fact that the
communists outnumber them ten to
one.

Halle, Germany.-The security DO

which has been the scene of wide
spread BOlshevik agitation and fire.
Quent clashes between communists
and government forces, has developed
a system Of espionage which enables
1t to record thS daily activities Of vir-
tually every citizen and to trace
infinitely the movements of strangers.
The latter, however, without excep-
ton, are treated as suspicious char
acters until the authorities are con-
WINGED their business is legitimate and
their intentions honorable. Even with
the most genuine official documents,
the police are not easily persuaded
that stranger, and particularly q
foreigner, is not bordering deep plots
and dark deeds against the govern
ment.
In the latest rioting here and in
other central German cities, when
nearly 1000 communists were arrest
ed, innocent circumstances often as
sumed a sinister aspect In the minds
of the police.
Correspondent Twice Arrested.
The Associated Press correspondent,
who had been many times examined
by minor officials and frequently
searched, was twice formally arrested
and subjected to cross-examination
by the superintendent Of the district
police forces.

Women Proving More Polite.

1t is not an uncommon sight now to
see young girl get up and offer her
seat in the subway tc an elderly wom-
an, whose entrance has been ignored
by the male passengers. Such usual
ly brings some blushing humble man
to his feet with a stammering offer of
"have my seat" but the climax was
reached the other evening in an up
town restaurant when a middle-aged
woman took seat at the same table
with one Of her own sex, a, stranger
to her, and on finishing dinner politely
inquired:
do you mind if I smoke ?'-New

Everybody had been making fun Of
it, so one Sunday morning he shaved
1t off. The first person to get look
at his upper lip in 20 years was
neighbor girl about the age of four.
AS she came into the house she said:
"Ohl Mr.. Bowln, you look just as

After firing two .22-caliber
bullets into his forehead and two
more into his body, Walter Stew
art, a farmer of Hartland Hol-
low, Conn.,, decided that the sui
eide route was a hard road. He
was walking about the house,
smoking n pipe. when the doctor
arrived. Asked why he had
tried to end his life, he replied
that he was discouraged. His
failure to kill himself made him
more discouraged, but he de-
clared he would never try the

In consequence Of her action 1,0O0,-
600 drachmae equivalent to about
$4,000 at present rates of exchange)
were collected for the benefit Of the
refugees and Is additional physicians
were sent to Saloniki.
The miserable condition Of the refu-
gees had been reported to the queen
by Colonel Odds, the American Red
Cross commissioner for Europe, who
inspected their camp. Queen Sophie
then sent DR.. Theophanos Aggelopou-
los, an eminent sanitary expert, as her
personal representative to take charge
Of the camp. He brought a corps Of
ten physicians. Until that time only
one physician had administered to the
thousands i'll among the refugees.
There had been no one to look after
sanitation.
Americans Send Aid.
The American Red Cross has sent to
Saloniki Col. Henry A. Shaw of the
United States army medical corps,
with a party Of physicians and nurses
to aid the Greek government in the
care Of the refugees. Colonel Shaw
plans to gather 1000 of the orphans In
old French barracks, several miles
from the present camp, where the
children will be given medical atten-
ton, while food will be furnished by
the Greek government. The expenses
Of this work will be borne by the gov
eminent.
Miss Lillian Spellman, Boston
nurse, is conducting a Red Cross dis
pensary at the camp, where she dis
tributes cans Of milk and soon will dis
tribute clothing to the small children.
Many of the refugees were lured by
promise of rich lands in Macedonia,
but the majority fed from the eau
casus, before the advances Of the Boil

der Renal Pasha.
1000 Die In Month.
The 10000 are huddled together In
barracks which were not intended to
hold half that number. A Red Cross
inspector who visited the camp reports
that disease such as typhus, dysentery
and influenza is prevalent, and that
more than 1000 of the refugees died
within a month.
The Greek governor, General Zazlt.
sanos, Is In despair, for he expects 49,
coo additional refugees to arrive soon
and says that there are more than 3d.
600 others trying to reach Greece. The
fund appropriated by the Greek gov
eminent to feed, clOthe and provide
medical attention will be exhausted
within a month, say the relief agents.
