a man who wants some real ex-

the cockroaches, each in a sep

More real, old-fashioned, nom

than in any other city of Europe.
This is due in part to the Allied

FRANCES WHITE,
STAGE STAR, IN
AFFINITY SUIT
PIaywrights Wife Sues Chic
Comedienne as PiIferer Of
Hubby's Affections.

NEW YORK. June Frances
White, she OF 'M-I-s-sIs-SIPPI," has
been served with asummons ina $780,
900 alienation suit by Mrs. Dorothy
Stoddard, wife OF Herbert Stoddsrd.
playwright.
Mrs. Stoddsrd claims that Frances.
in line with her latest song, I'D Like
to Be a Cave Mans Kid" has kidded
away the affections OF the author OF
Tickle Me" and Jimmie"
For some time the gossips along the
Rialto have been talking OF Stoddard
and Frances. When the dainty little
Coincidence, who starred in Jimmie"
last season, was playing at the
Apollo Theater. a theatrical trade
weekly came forth with an announce
ment on the first page of the "en-
gagement of Frances White and Herb
Stoddard." How the gossips chortled,
for in the next issue the paper car
ried a story that Stoddard already
had a perfectly well married spouse.
Jimmie" the Stoddard show on the
Arthur Hsmmerstein books, took to
the road and the gossips were stilled
for space, for every day is new
day on Broadway and there is always
something to take up the conversa-
tional efforts OF the actors who are
playing the "Automst Circuit"
Then Jimmie" went to the store
house. and petite Frances came back
to Broadway. The next move in the
game was Mrs. Stoddard putting the
case in the hands of her attorney.
He sent process server to
Frances apartment in West Sixty
seventh street, and she was given the
little paper that notified her that she
should appear in the supreme court
TO answer to the charge of alternating
the affections OF the playwright.
Frances White frst came into
prominence in San Francisco. where
she was cabaret entert amer. Will
lam Rock came along, and they
formed the vaudeville team OF Rock
and White. She became an overnight
success with her kid songs the
most popular OF which was "Missis-
sippl-
Later she played the ziegfeld Roof
and In other Ziegfeldian productions,
and then went with the first Green
wich Village Follies" Her "hissis-
sippi" song gave way to 81 Want to
BE Cave Mans Kid" and other
numbers. sung in the rompers of
childhood that mark Francis White
wherever she appears.
Last season Arthur Hemmerstein
starred her in Jimmie" the play
written by Stoddard, whose anec-
tions she is charged with pilfering.
Stoddard also wrote Frank Tinney's
show, Tickle Me-" another Hammer
stein production OF last year. He
lives In New York hotel while
his wife has gone home to her

Business Slump Hits
Chorus Girls
Hard

CHICAGO, June THAT army
of curved and dimpled pulchri-
tude known as chorus girls is
decidedly out of luck. The wave
of economy now sweeping over
the country has left foundering
in its wake scores of beauties
who formerly dazzled theater
audiences by their agility and
other accomplishments.
Several shows in Chicago and
other cities in the West have
found it Improbable to continue,
and have curtailed their engage
ments or abandoned their tours,
with the result that many chorus
girls and other employees find
themselves stranded. An author
ity on the matter of destitute
thespians says there are at least
200 chorus girls out Of work in
Chicago alone, and that Mil
waukee and other cities have
their quota
Most of them, Il is said, are
living as best they can at the
cheapest restaurants and sleep
ing long hours. As one of them
explained it:

Rep. Keller Declares Merger or
Other Remedies Are Wrong
In Theory.

Municipal operation of the trae-
ton system in the District of Co
lumbia is the only solution of the
existing situation and prevailing
high fares, Congressman Oscar E.
Keller, of Minnesota, told the House
of Representatives District Commit
tee today.
Congressman Keller is the author
of a bill providing for municipal
ownership of railways.
MERCER WRONG THEORY.
Congress is responsible for the
situation prevailing to-day" declared
Congressmsn Keller, land therefore
Congress should do everything in its
power TO relieve the situation. All
this talk about mergers and parucu-
larly the proposition submitted by
District Commissioner Oyster is
ridiculous. Commissioner Oyster
would rob Peter to pay Paul In
ether words he would grant the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company a higher and exorbitant rate
for its power in what amounts to
nothing more or less than a bribe or
a sop to bring down street car fares"
OWNERSHIP FAVORED.
Congressman Keller discussed
many phases of the traction prob
lem in Washington, as well as In
other large municipalities. Govern
ment ownership, he declared is a
growing idea with the people inso-
far as IL applies to traction systems.
The feasibility OF government
ownership has already been dem
onstrsted in San Francisco and 9TH

Compulsory service at absolute
cost and without regard for watered
stock Is the only other system that
will bring the owners OF the two

NEW YORK, June Absolutely
overwhelmed by the calamity that
has overtaken her, Marian McArdle,
under indictment in Cleveland in con-
nection with the murder of her
mothers second husband, wants only
to get back to Cleveland.
New York, to her. is a waste Of
stran~e faces and friendless streets.
while in Cleveland she has her aunts
and her lawyer. Francis Poulson.
Is NUMB WITH TERROR.
The frail little prisoner. who saws
she formerly attended Smith College,
was numb with the terror OF her first
night In Jail when a reporter saw her
at the Clinton street jail. But she
stoutly denied the accuracy of her
srandmother's story, connecting ner
with the murder OF Dan Ksber. for
which her mother, Eva Catherine
Kaber, Is now awaiting extrsdition to
Cleveland.
For a moment after reading the ac-
counts of her grandmother alleged
confession. she sat perfectly still, her
lips compressed. Then she asked:
Have they arrested grandma?
Miss McArdle denied all knowledge
of the murderer's identity; she denied
that she had aided her grandmother
in giving the Kaber home the appear
ance of having been looted by burg
lars; and she denied the stories print
ed in the New York papers to the
effect that she had told detectives
who arrested her that three days be-
fore the murder she had seen her
mother pry open a buffet and remove
quantity of silyerware.
"No," she said in a subdued, almost
frozen voice, mo

Miss MoArdle was arrested yes

mother. who is being held in Har-

tectives to take her back to Cleve-
land, and after questioning was
taken to the Clinton street jail,
where there is matron. She was
pitiful figure when she began to
talk about her difficulties, and her
desire to hear from her attorney and
to see her relatives.
Presently the matron suggested
a cup of coffee as an excellent prep
aration for a court appearance.
"No.- was the determined reply.
"But 1 would like s0me candy
The appearance of detective to
take the prisoner to the Tombs court
fer a hearing prevented the purchase
of the candy.
Miss McArdle was much too over
whelmed by her plight to be very
much worried about her lack OF
money OF clothes. She wouldn't say
how much money she had, other than
that 1t wasn't a great deal. Her
clothes, she said, were at her mothers
apartment in Harlem.

hand. those who have once been poi-
soned often seem thereafter to b.
more susceptible than before.
The different kinds of poison ivy
vary greatly IN the shape of theh
leaves. and even In the same species
the leaf form varies. So does the
manner of growth. The common
eastern form may appear as a low
growing shrub, looking like an or.
dinary weed, or il may be a flourish
ing bush three or four feet high with
lieht-colored woody trunk. II may be
a small creeping vine, or IL may be
vine three or four inches thick,
twinlng about tree. and throwing
off aerial rootlets.
There IL only one characteristic
which the poison ivy has wherever IL
grows and in all its forms, that il
that the leaves grow in groups OF
three. The central leaf is on stem
m inch or more In length. The other
two grow directly opposite each other
and have practically no stem at all.
Whenever you see a plant with this
style of foliage. whether IL is bush,
