MRS ISABELLA CORA 0RTHwEN, and the man
M she killed, Herbert P. Ziegler, tire agency man
ager in her Chicago apartment Mrs. orthwein is
under a SCI, 600 bond
The Washington times., 1921-03-03

Ladies that kill gentlemen in
Chicago do it in interesting fash
ion. Some write diaries that
Elizabeth Barrett Browning her
self couldn't write. All shoot to
kill. They are more deadly than
the male with the revolver, also
with the jury.
Mrs. Isabella Orthwein having
decided that lady could stand no
more and that the time had come
to kill Herbert l.. Ziegler. under
scored this line of poetry:
"And It's not wise to love too
we'll, and this all women know"
Herbert Ziegler knew it also, for
about a quarter of a second, while
the bullets were going into his
neck and chest.
Chicago, of course, will sustain
her reputation for chivalry by
letting Mrs. Orthwein go free. A
little to the southwest of Chicago,
where chivalry is even more in
tense, when lady shoots a gen.
tleman, distinguished citizens
meet her at the railroad station
and 60 her bail.
Some will ask: as it just to the
young lady herself to have it un-
derstood when she shoots and
kills that nothing will be done to
herr" There must be always some
lingering regret after a lady has
been, in the words of Mrs. Ortiz
veins poem, with velvet paws
and clenching claws a tigress
reused to slay."
But if men will not make fools
of themselves, the "tigress with
velvet paws and clenching claws
will not get them. And if they
do make fools of themselves they
must take their chance. The
world does not miss them.
Writers Of affectionate poetry,
psycho-analysts, and prohibition
officers are interested in the kill
ing by Isabella Orthwein. Before
the killing in a public restaurant
Isabella and Herbert threw glasses
of wine at each other. Later when
it was over the policeman picked
up a half empty bottle of gin on
the floor of Mrs. Orthwein's apart
ment.
In such affairs alcohol seems to
be as much at fault as wicked men,
described in Mrs. Orthwein's poem
as 'the wolf pack having gorged
upon the lamb, their prey" How
Il would have surprised the wolf
in the fable, if the little lamb
drinking from the brook below it
had turned out to be a modern
thirty-two caliber Chicago lady
lamb.

Champ Clark.
Broken Ambition.
A Lady OF Chicago.
Warning to the Foolish.
BY ARTHUR BRISBANE
Copyright. is1i.)

Champ Clark is dead. Men
have died, and worms have eaten
them, but not for love-" says
Shakespeare; but men have died
heartbroken by thwarted ambi-
ton.
Little more than eight years ago,
= majority of the delegates at
Baltimore had nominated Champ
Clark for the Presidency. 1t seemed
settled; then, through tricky
politicians, he was beaten. At
the last election, due to the Repub-
ican sweep, his own friends failed
to return him to Congress, where
he had worked for more consecu-
tive years than any other member.
Now he is dead, and tomorrow
President Wilson, who beat him at
Baltimore, retires, broken in
health, repudiated at the last cleo
tion by the whole people as Champ
Clark was repudiated in his own
district.
The Washington times., 1921-03-03

The last words Champ Clark
was heard to say we're: "The
question is on the adoption Of the
conference report His work
never left his mind. What first
words will he say when he wakes
up in another world? Has he
perhaps already come back to this
world, in some newborn baby, to
begin all over again?
Friends of Champ Clark may
apply to him Leonardo's words:
"Just as a day we'll spent gives
joyful sleep, so does life well en-
ployed give joyful DEATH" or Vic
tor Hugo's: THE death of the
just is like the end of beauti-
ful day."
The Washington times., 1921-03-03

General SHUTS, of South Africa,
comparing President Wilson's re-
tirement with the "close Of Hanni-
balls career in failure and eclipse"
quotes Mommsen, "On those whom
the gods love they lavish infinite
joys and infinite sorrOws."
Those that politics has in its
grip know infinite worry, infinite
disappointment.
Champ Clark represented well
the simplicity, strength, honesty,
and sincerity of the old-fashioned
American citizen.

SEE STARS IN GREAT FLOCK
Latest Group Discovered Believed to
Contain Equivalent Of Quarter
Million OF Our Suns.

Every new invention of the as
tronomer's observatory enlarges the
distance he can peer into space and
measure it's receding boundaries, so
that one can never say which Is the
farthest star.
But we can say which is at the farth-
est distance measured. This honor is
at present borne by a tiny blur Of light
which has no name and a few years
ago was not noticed, but which is now
identified in the new general catalogue
of stars as No. 70O6-or, more pre-
cisely, N. G. G. 7006.
1t is not really one star, but a great
flock of stars, probably containing
more than the equivalent of a quarter
of a million of our suns, and it is so
far away that If some unknown as
tronomer could flash a light signal
at lis from one of the suns or planets
there it would be nearly a quarter of
a million years before that message
could reach us.
There is good reason to believe that
this flock of stars is moving toward
II is hardly necessary to say, that
it will take a long time coming.

10000 FOR REscUING CATS
Of Eccentric New York
Spinster.

New York.-Cats all over the world
will benefit from the 100000 obtained
by the sale of the Even homestead
here.
Miss Caroline Even, who occupied
the property for years with her two
sisters, had q passion for caring for
cats. 1t was her dream that every cat
should have plenty Of catnip, milk and
a comfortable backyard fence.
She devoted her life to establishing
sanitariums and relief organizations
for stray cats and when she died left
all her estate ave $500 for carrying on
the work. She cut off her two sisters
in her will because they were not suf-
flciently enthusiastic about cats.
The money for rescuing the cat pop
ulation of the world became available
when her nephew recently settled his
contest OF her wifi out of court.

An Elastic Metal.

The most remarkable thing about
vanadium steels is their almost mirac
ulpus elasticity. Today the metal va
nadium is comparatively cheap. YET
only 80 years ago it sold at $3.50 a
pound. and was hardly more than a
curiosity Of the chemical laboratory.
When a use is found for a rare
metal, sources from which 1t may be
obtained in quantity are sure to be
discovered. Thus. when the value of
vanadium for steel alloys was ascer-
tanned, the fact was soon disclosed
that yast ore beds containing it tx
listed in Colorado. 1t is from these
beds that the demand is now supplied.
The ores are sandstone, impregnated
with vanadium, and are dug out in
enormous quantities. A by-product Of
vanadium mining is uranium, from
which radium Is obtained.

Mythology.

Hebe was the goddess Of youth, who
poured out the nectar with which the
gods pledged each other. One day,
upon a solemn occasion, she tripped
and fell, and was forced to resign her
office. Her father, Jupiter, secured as
her successor the beautiful youth
Ganymede. Hebe retained the power
of restoring the bloom of youth and
beauty to the aged and, according to
some accounts, it was only after she
became the wife Of Hercules that she
gave up her office of c%upbearer. She
even succeeded In reconciling her
mother, Juno, to Hercules, who sui
fered all his life from the hatred Of
the queen Of the gods.
Hercules was deifed as a reward for
achievements.

D.. Levy, Pro-AlIy During War,
Forced to Leave England Under
Alien Restrictions Act.

A mar without a country or citizen
ship. Such is the tragic plight of DR.,
Oscar Levy, publicist and author.
DR.. Levy, as a person of German
birth, has received notice to leave
England. This step is taken by the
home office under the aliens restric-
tion act of 1919.
DR.. Levy vas pro-Ally during the
a He has lost his German nation
atty because he has lived In this
country since 1894, and has therefore
nowhere to go with his wife and
daughter.
DR.. Levy, who was the official
translator of Nietzche, the German
philosopher, into English, is at the
present time lying seriously i'll.
The home Office case is that 40
former enemy alien under the act
is permitted to remain in England
more than three months unless an ex-
tension is granted. Residence in
England before the war does not ex-
cept DR.. Levy from the act, and
there are no special grounds for allow
ing him to remain.
The work done, during the war by
DR.. Levy was in tracing British prison
ers in Germany. He was always
enthusiastically pro-British and anti
German. He left this country in 1915
for Switzerland, and remained in
Geneva until April, 1920, when he re

100000 TO Get
WORK ON ROADS
Federal and State Governments
Have S150,000 600 for High
way Building.
RECORD IMPETUS IS EXPECTED
Campaigns on to Stir Public Officials
to Necessity Of Undertaking
Road Work Now and
in Spring.

Washington, D. C.-More than $3.50,
100000 will be expended during tn,
next few months for road construc
lion and repairs on more thar 7,OO(
miles of highways as a result Of join
contributions by state and federal
governments, according to officials OF
the federal public roads bureau.
With a nationwide surplus Of labor
and falling prices for materials, road
building will take on a new and record
impetus, officials say. Contractors are
at work in virtually every state pre-
pairing bids for work projected.
More than 100000 workers can be
given jobs during the next u months
In highway construction. Labor consti-
tutes about so per cent Of the cost
Of road building, exclusive of materials.
Campaigns to stir public officials
to the necessity of undertaking road
work nov and next spring are being
staged in many localities by chambers
of commerce, automobile associations,
farmers organizations and civic groups.
Highway construction undertaken now
is In line, it is pointed out, with the
recommendations of the national
conference on unemployment, which
now as possible to afford work for the
jObless.
The permanent commission on eco
nOmic readjustment left in Washing
ton to carry out the Recommended
lions of the national conference is
paigns in many sections.
Congress has measures before it call
ing for contributions of $75,OOO,O0O to
states for road work, to be available
where state and local governments ap-
propriate like sums. AS a matter of
practice the money now supplied by
the federal government constitutes
only AZ per cent of the total spent.
although it is popularity believed that
the states match the federal govern
dollar for dollar.
Road building costs now are cheaper
20 per cent below the maximum fig
Tres of 1920. The average cost of
construction in the United
States last year was $4,000 a mile.
Tor some kinds of road the cost was
100000.
More than 27,0OO miles Of new high
way have been constructed In the last
hree years under the federal appro-
of 1866, 900, 1000, made in 1915.
Approximately $100,00O,O00 worth of

0SMIRIDIUM ONE OF HARDEST
Metal Is Employed in Tipping Of Foun-
tain Pens and for Delicate
Machinery Bearings.

An interesting history attaches to a
small packet about two and a half
inches square which recently arrived in
London. 1t weighed two and a half
pounds and was eagerly bought by an
American firm for about $4,000. The
packet contained osniridium (osmium
and its alloy, iridium), used for the
tipping Of fountain pen points and for
delicate bearings Of fine machinery.
The discovery Of osmiridium, which
Is a member of the platinum group of
metals, constitutes an interesting ro-
nance, the Detroit News states. To
ward the end Of the last year a small
group Of p~rospectors were washing for
gold in one of the river beds In Papua,
British New Guinea. In their eager
to find the precious metal they
threw away from their pans a blush
gray, flaxy substance as worthless.
This was osmiridium, and 1t is eight
times more valuable than gold and
worth at the present time about $500
ounce.
When the men got back to the set
tfement they mentioned the occurrence
to a mining engineer, who Immediately
asked them what they did with the
substance. They replied that they
eft it on the river bank, and the en-
yineer exclaimed, 1T must be osmirid-
The next morning the whole party
for the spot, only to find OH
heir arrived that the tropical rains
and the swollen river had washed
way most of the precious stuff. What
'emained was carefully raked together,
efned and dispatched to London,
where 1t arrived safely a short while
lgo, having been heavily insured for
he voyage.
Osmiridium is one Of the hardest
Metals known and prospectors are
agerly searching for it in Papua.
